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, [...]

No I didn’t find Meepok in New York (though I think if I really wanted to I probably could), but this is one of my few attempts at doing a Meepok post (ie a “how my day went/what I did today” post) to amuse everyone and maybe embarrass me.
So my day started at 6:30am because [...]

I’m finally off the plane and in New York! Gosh it’s amazing to be here in summer! It’s so hot today it practically feels like Singapore. But it’s really surreal to be walking around in jeans and a t-shirt when all my previous visits (all three of them) were in winter with at least three [...]
