Wow, I had not expected this of Calgary, Canada. The new Central library is a must see for anyone who loves public libraries.
- The architecture from the outside and the curved ceilings outside draws you in.
- The large community spaces when you walk in
- Then taking a tour, I realized the incredible amount of details in the design of every aspect of the library really pushed the limits of what a public library could be.
- The library creates a space for a book lover to meet with their community, read books, hang out and look out.

I’m usually not good at resolving conflicts. In the dating environment, I would just run away. At work, we’ll try to figure out the ‘right’ way and usually, the ‘right’ way wins.With Cate, usually, the only way that wins is to compromise
Last night I was trying to convince Cate to fall asleep sooner as she complains that she can’t fall asleep.
Tony: “If you fall asleep, tomorrow we’ll head to the trampoline right after breakfast” and..
Cate: 5 minutes later she is asleep.Tony: After the trampoline, I want to head to my favorite French restaurant, Petite Pontoise but
Cate wants to head home and rest afterwardTony wants to walk around Sacre Cour but
Cate wants to help Tony cook and film the entire session and pretend the moose and kitty finger puppets are actually cookingA long day..
Cate will be meeting her babysitter in Paris tomorrow, she falls asleep in 5 minutes after her head hits the pillows and..
Tony sitting in bed and staring out at the beautiful night view of Sacre Cour, I am the luckiest guy in the world! Perspectives!

Kate and I are heading for Paris tomorrow afternoon. She is super excited about it. She tells me she is looking forward to time with only Dad and no one else. She is looking forward to the crepes, and going up to the Eifel Tower when we first get there.
I admit that I thrive on being in uncomfortable situations. But going to Paris is like coming home in a way. I don’t speak a word of French, but the shop owners are friendly when I try a few words. I feel like I know the city very well now but there are also areas I would like to explore more.
I have my own agenda for going. I would like Kate to think of Paris like a second home for her. I’m preparing for the day when I would be living in Paris and she won’t feel like anything is odd about that. So, unless something doesn’t work out, I’ll be in Paris every summer with Kate.
For those who have not made it there yet or just miss Paris, please go and watch this movie Paris Je T’Aime. It’s 13 short films set in Paris. After watching it, it’ll make you long to be in Paris.

(red sign says ‘Remember To Eat’)
On my business trip to Bangalore, I got to stop over in Singapore for 7 hours. I think it was intentional of Singapore airlines.. To bring some tourism money to the country.
First observations of this country is of course it’s clean, and modern. Then I noticed there are a lot of tall Asian women here, and super skinny almost in an unhealthy way. I found that I immediately fit in pretty well. I spoke Mandarin, Cantonese and English to them when I felt whichever language would work best for me.
I took the metro system from the airport into the city. Of course it was clean and efficient.
I hired a man on a bike (don’t know the name of it) to get me to Chinatown and visit the temples and get some good food. That’s usually the only thing I care about when I get to a new place.
Of course I had my share of goodies.
1) fish balls on a stick
2) yams on a stick
3) black herbal jelly
4) milk with melon
5) frog congee
Other kind of interesting things
Death if you are caught with drugs
pretty crowded metro system
