41 C Golfing experience~~~

I can understand how a proper set up is the fundamental of a good ball strike, these ladies all have perfect set up... but how I don't understand is why they also have finished swing the same way......er....amazing!!!!

Old friends

Janet & me

Last summer I found out one of my college school mate lives so close to me and we have not known each other's existence until friend's connection through email.  Must say that again--"the power of Internet, reunite so many lost friends and family".  

Spa @ Home

Creepy

I was just not feeling right about my right ear 2 weeks ago, here comes a phone call from Lucy telling me she is coming over to make me “蠟燭耳朵”， I thought she is maybe making "貓耳朵“ the kind of noodle soup my dad used to make us when we were little.  Turns out, she wants to ear candle me, it is a spa term for cleaning your body system through the ears, ahhhh, what an angel of her sensing my needs.

Read about a book stating "thinking of what you need, and it will eventually come to you"~~~~ I can't say I believe it, but it happened to me many times...

Distillery District

The Distillery District is a village of brick-lined streets and many of restored Victorian Industrial buildings. It’s one of Ontario’s hottest tourist attractions I just learned today , there are  theatres, galleries, fashion, design and jewelry boutiques, unique coffee shops and restaurants. It's wonderful to spend a day with friends and family in this summer like day and close it up with a icy cold beer..ahhhhhhh..what a treat!!!

Golf Bond Head

Blue sky + cotton white cloud + green everwhere = Golf
Not wasting the good weather at all, 2nd day golfing on the road....

Don't know how many times I have been golfing at this same north course, but it's breathtaking view just hasn't got me bored of coming back again and again!

National Pine Golf Course

Pretty weather, pretty course, not so pretty score!!!!

Hot stuffs~~

What a productive day for me, my other good far away neighbour Lucy knows my craving about hot stuffs,  Today, she brings along ingredients not only show us how to make chili oil with spice as well as the spicy tofu salads that I admired so much she made last class. 

It's super easy and yet taste so fresh....Now I know..to bring up the smell of the spice, we need to heat them up first and smash them to crunches before adding them to any dishes you wish..

Bendor and Gravens Tract - 81Hectares

Interesting hiking route at this tract, all about discovery. 

Leader Kelvin is a very nice U of T professor who explains every question that we have during this 10km hike.  The high rise stair like station was an observation desk for deer hunter in the hunting season at the past.  And there are horse tail plants everywhere in this tract, they used to be sign for native people to identify the source of water.

We spotted a rare type of flower, it grows from bottom and lays on the ground, no idea what it's called, and lots of freshly bloomed ferns..reminds me of beer house food in Taiwan.

Hahaha.....

 

As I was having fun editing photos, kid  didn't seem happy to pose for mom's request....haha, I even forced her to change clothes for more effect..

Scout Tract - Eldred King

Today, I bring along a new fried to try out this usually slow pace of Monday hiking.....she almost cry during  the journey.  Who would know that the group leader was switched to Joan, this tiny old lady walks super fast, even athletic people like me were having difficulty catching her up.........

This friend called me the evening, complained about the pain that restrict her from doing everything, (omg, I crippled her) but  thankful that I pushed her into this activity and were quite happy that she made her first step out doing something good to her health. 

It feels good  to see any friend who decided to love herself once again, by changing to a healthier life style.

Mother's day at Edwards Gardens

This colder weather finally come to an end, bright sun and cool breeze make this mother's day weekend a perfect time to gather Friends and kids for a healthy outdoor activity.

Kids were like unleashed pets, running free.......and having tons of fun and workout.  If there were no TV, no PC, no Iphone........I believe kids will happily enjoy and appreciate more for home get away.

Awesome flowers everywhere as you stroll along the trail, just can't stop photographing them, want to capture all that make you wooooah!!!!

1st game of the season~~

I have only 2 words to describe today's game...................Suck...........&..........Suck...........
haha, but I don't care, as long as I can still get up, walk out and breath... I will make golfing part of my life.   I need to learn how to by pass the pain that bother me and enjoy the surrounding that bring me tremendous happiness.   Tranquil, greens, friends, fun & embraced by nature... .I took the photo of the tree, because it so much looked like my spine in the X-ray, crooked.....

Greener life....

People everywhere are making commitments to save energy in as many ways as they can, reduce waste and to provide a healthier environment.  And we can all do this by living green. Living green is a concept that involves creating greener homes ; homes that make use of energy efficient appliances and various other energy efficient sources.  We all need to take part of protecting our environment for future, as the natural resource will become scarce pretty soon if we don't care and not educate our younger generation  about energy saving concepts. 

Soap Making - Episo #2

After the lesson, we decided to make our own soap.  Exciting and scary at the beginning, we covered ourself so well, not taking a chance to get poisoned.   After few batches, we gain experience and it actually was not that dangerous as Vicki said... One litre of extra virgin olive oil can make about 40pcs of soaps, very cost effective, consider each pc of hand made soap priced at at least over $6.00 .
