mother daughter moment

me: Did it snow... is it snowing outside?
mom: no, it's just raining
me: but why is our neighbour's roof white?
mom: ah! is it snowing? it wasn't before!
Mom looks out window...
mom: there is snow everywhere!! :O

it kind of loses something in translation >.< it was much funnier when it happened...

Musical for the deaf

How do people who are deaf watch musicals? with sign language

I have recently learned about this organization in Hong Kong  called "Hong Kong Sign Language Musical Theatre (香港手語歌舞劇團) I think it is super meaningful for them to do this. Not only can people who are deaf perform, but those who are deaf can now enjoy musicals.

You can go to the Hong Kong Sign Language Musical Theatre (香港手語歌舞劇團) to learn more

check out this sign language music video!



I will write another post (about my thoughts) about this later ( I think I have a lot to say on this topic... but not much time to write them all out... yet :'(

Tori Kelly - Dear No One

"Dear No One"

I like being independent
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don’t gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to

But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when its cold
Got that young love even when we’re old
Yeah sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

I don’t really like big crowds
I tend to shut people out
I like my space, yeah
But I’d love to have a soul mate
God will give him to me someday
& I know it’ll be worth the wait

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when its cold
Got that young love even when we’re old
Yeah sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

Out of the Ordinary

one of my favourite scenes on the subway is watching kids get really excited when we travel between Castle Frank and Broadview station. I just love watching the looks on their face when they see Don Valley Parkway :)... I really love seeing how excited they get and how they "oooh" and  "wooooooowww". Today I did and it totally made my day <3

silly memory

friend, who came back from a trip to Taiwan

friend: Steph, you should really go to Taiwan, lots of good food there! :D
me: I want to, but how do I communicate with them?
friend: oh, you'll be fine!
me: do they speak English there? -_____-
friend: no
me: I'm sure they don't speak Cantonese though
friend: yeah, they don't
me: how do I communicate with them?
friend: ... erm... just speak Cantonese... it is close enough, I think Cantonese is similar to Taiwanese
me: :O...
(friend: Cantonese is like Taiwanese with a really weird accent)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Steph: Let's listen to the "Ugly" song
friend: there's a song that's ugly?
Steph: no, the name of the song is "Ugly" (by 加藤ミリヤ)
