Canadian Geese

When was the last time you see large families of Canadian Geese in City of Toronto?? I was quite surprised to see them while walking down the street to a store.

Eye Weekly Sponsored Zipcar

Eye weekly zipcar

I have been using zipcar for a while,.. and then till I saw this car. I can’t stop laughing.

It’s sponsored by Eye weekly and then it’s CAD 6.50/hr including insurance and gas (vs. normally CAD 10.50/hr rate)

I would say it’s a pretty awesome deal except you are a driving advertisement for Eye weekly.

Looking for a new owner for my cat- Maki

Friday, April 18th, 2008

*UPDATE* - Maki had found a great home!!!! I am so glad to see him going to a new warming place with a young family and he will be living with another cat-Sukey! Thanks for everyone’s inquiries! I am happy for now..  

It’s since December that I have been looking for a new home for Maki.

And it’s been an extremely difficult journey for me to find a suitable owner for Maki. Maki is a 2 year old cat that I adopted him since he was a kitten. He’s been a great campanion, fun and lovely cat. It’s one of my biggest sacrifices in my life as well. I have to give away Maki because my fiance-Alex is allergic.

Maki was adopted once in late Jan.. and came back to me in late March mainly because the new owner did not care about the fact that he was living in the “ceiling” in between floors. *sigh*

So I setup a page for Maki, and hopefully the right person will come along…

Maki needs a new home!

OurFaves Contest is now LIVE!

Ourfaves.com My Fave Day Contest

The first site I did for Toronto.com is a contest site for Ourfaves.com (Toronto.com and Ourfaves.com are under the same management). After working for Chum for 3 years, everything I did for chum was always in a rush and not much of a quality control in terms of content and user experience. And the first thing I learned at this new job was “Quality” delivery. So this contest site’s design had gone through at least 12 times revisions in the past 3 weeks, and also endless content changes. I guess it’s all for the better user experience that we are trying to achieve here.

And as for Toronto.com? We haven’t even start working on it yet! lol
