Last year I checked out the Ontario Science Center while I was in Toronto, and while I think our local Singapore Science Center is a little bit cooler, one exhibit in particular really stood out for me with its interactivity and intensity.
The exhibit was a simulation of how it would be like to be in [...]

Remember that post about traveling alone? I’m glad for four days out of my entire exchange experience I wasn’t traveling alone, but with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Chloe.
I still think traveling with people you don’t know well enough, can really kill either or both people involved. Luckily we’ve known each other for [...]

So last weekend was spent East in Montreal for a trip with QSEAC (Queen’s South East Asian Club) and it was pretty fun! I had originally planned to go to Montreal for the weekend anyway because the Jack’s Mannequin concert was on Friday (more on that in Music Mondays this week), so it was a [...]

If you can only be bothered to check out one video, make it the fourth one. It’s awesome! I was fearful for my Flip Cam!

I got into Kingston yesterday afternoon, and because we can only move into our apartment on Wednesday, I had no choice but to find a temporary place to stay for a couple of days. Enter, the Summer House Inn.
It’s a nice house on King Street with a wonderful owner Joan who has been very hospitable. [...]

I’m finally in Kingston, but I spent the weekend in Toronto. It was completely unplanned, but a big thanks to Raphael, my friend from our days in the army, for letting me put up at his place because I could absolutely find nowhere to stay in Kingston. Totally saved my ass.
In any case, this isn’t [...]

I was on my way to Raphael’s house via the train and one stop before his station was the Museum Station. Just had to get out to film this:

Okay first, I’m actually a person who’s pretty fond of solitude. Of course I enjoy time out too, but as I’ve alluded to previously, a lot of the time I’m my own best company.
The thing about travelling alone is that I guess you have no say about the company at all. It’s just you. Which [...]

When I was planning my trip up to Canada from New York, I decided I wanted to take the train instead of flying or the bus. I’m not a fan of the bus because it’s cramped and I need to use the toilet often, and flying is almost six times more expensive.

So here I [...]

Breakfast!
So while deciding what to do today I found out that the Lion King has two shows today: one at 2pm and one at 8pm. Shouldn’t be too hard to get tickets, right? Wrong.

(oh my God why is my face the bloody frozen preview screenshot)

Anyway since I was at the comic shop on 40th Street, [...]
