503. Recent Life

Hello everyone! Here is another long overdue "recent life" post which contains random photos from the past month or so. I'm currently watching the Olympics as I type this. Probably the first time in a year since I am watching TV lol. Gymnastics is my favourite to watch. I also like synchronized swimming and diving. I love these types of events when the whole world comes together. I hope to be able to attend the Olympics (or World Cup) someday..maybe for the next one in Tokyo!

A few weeks ago, my mom and I went to my cousin's wedding/lunch at the Richmond Hill Country Club. Here is the view out the dining room. The pool area is pretty nice.





Also a few weeks ago, I met up with one of my "Instagram friends", Victoria. We've followed each other on Instagram for quite awhile and I always love seeing her travel photos. She is from Korea and was in Toronto for a few days so I took her to one of my favourite spots in the city - Canoe.




We had raspberry mojitos and slider burgers.

My painting from my company event at Paintlounge. It was my first time going there and my first time painting in years! Since my university days actually. I love art (especially painting) and used to do it a lot in school (since I studied fashion and had a lot of art related courses). I wish I had time to do it more often these days. This was the painting we did that night. Everyone had to paint the same thing. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately I accidentally SAT in the paint palette and ruined a pair of my white Frame jeans. I can't believe it happened lol. So embarrassing. I finished my painting so I put the palette down on my stool. Then I forgot it was there and sat back down on it. I held the painting over my butt to cover up the stain as I was walking back in my lobby. Luckily I had a back up pair of a similar style and from the same brand so I wasn't too upset..





Last Thursday I met up with 2 of my friends that I knew from elementary school for lunch at Colette Grand Cafe. They are the only ones I still speak to from elementary school on a semi-regular basis. I think we see each other like once a year since high school..it's nice to catch up and reminisce on our school days. The restaurant is so beautiful. I had never been there before but heard about it and have seen photos and had always wanted to go! I will definitely go back.


These were delicious!! I got the "Lychee Pomegranate Fizz" with lemon, lychee and ginger soda



I had the "Poulet a la Creole"; brick chicken, cajun spiced butter and fries. It was really good and there was a lot of chicken. I just found it to be too wet. As you can see there's a pool of liquid under it. I loved the salad.



For dessert, they bring out a platter of different cakes and macarons to choose from. We just got macarons to share.

My mom and I went to St. Lawrence Market yesterday afternoon. I live quite closeby and come here a lot. We ate at Buster's Sea Cove at the back. I have been to the market so many times but never eaten there before - I actually didn't know it existed until yesterday (since I normally don't go to that part of the market). They serve all types of seafood. It's sooo delicious! I got calamari (below) and my mom got a seafood orzo which was amazing. I definitely want to go back for it again.





I went to the airport last week & took the opportunity to try out the new Union Pearson Express trains. I think they just started operating a few weeks ago. It was quite a comfortable ride. Almost empty when I was on. It really gets from Union to Pearson in 25 minutes flat!





My new dress!! It's from the Alexander Wang Spring 2015 collection. I tried this on at the store but they only had a Small size which was way too big on me. Luckily I found an X-Small online at Saks & bought it..& it arrived today!! It's still a bit big on me but I really love it.

I also tried this fuschia dress by Maje. I really want it as well but the smallest size (that they make) is still big :( The area around the hips is really loose. It's so hard for me to find perfectly fitted dresses! That's why I really love Clover Canyon and AQAQ as their sizes are perfect for me..but unfortunately I don't like anything from their new collections.
