  • Seth Rogen and business partner Evan Goldberg at #CollisionConf to talk about their cannabis start-up, @houseplant, and bringing it to the Ontario market. Seth is as every bit smart, charming, and quick-witted as he appears to be on television talk shows. 👍🏻⁣ ⁣ Also got to listen to @justinpjtrudeau speak about diversity in Toronto. He really is a handsome and charismatic world leader... 🤩
  • Lovely afternoon with the #YorkRegion ladies: @yunyeee, @k7cheung, and @phoebeymyu. I've missed congee so much! 😩 I was basically scarfing down the whole bowl. Also went to get bubble tea at @onezotapioca – stressful stuff, there are so many options! Finally ended up deciding on a brown sugar dirty oolong latte though. 😋
  • Old neighbourhood. (Photoshopped out so many pieces of garbage on the grass, smh. And you can still see some left there on the grass. I will never miss how dirty London is as a city. So much littering. Gross.) 🏠
  • Cousins, reunited. #KwanaGetMarried19
  • It's been an entire week since I landed in Toronto, and I haven't updated my little Instagram photo blog gallery. Lots of wedding preparation stuff have happened so far – my brother's, of course, not me, #SingleLady – but none of them relate to the photo I'm posting today.⁣ ⁣ I did an epic journey via Uber and train from Canary Wharf, London to Gatwick Airport with three massive luggages and one carry-on on my last morning in the UK. It took me three hours because I had to somehow get all three bags – two of them were overweight, one of which was 31kg – from the second floor of my apartment building to the @AirTransat airline counter. An airline counter that wasn't even in the same terminal as the train station I would be arriving in.⁣ ⁣ So, from second floor flat, to a 30+ minute Uber to Blackfriars, to the second floor of the Blackfriars train station (by lugging two bags 20 metres, then the other two 40 metres, repeat), to the Gatwick Airport train station, to getting an airport employee to find a trolley for me (by asking him nicely as I stood there waiting by my four bags because lol I'm not going to drag four bags across a busy airport terminal), to somehow pushing my trolley cart onto the inter-terminal train, to finally, reaching the airline counter of #AirTransat.⁣ ⁣ For three hours, from 6:30 AM, to when I finally had all my bags checked in at 9:15 AM, I was running on pure adrenaline. I don't even know how I was able to do it. I was like a bull on a mission, to get from point A to point B to point C etc. But what I also remember, was my body basically crashing into a damn near anxiety attack while at the counter. I was gulping for air, taking deep breaths, and trying to calm myself down. When I finally walked away from the airline counter, I nearly forgot my carry-on on the trolley, and when I finally had the chance to sit down, my hands were actually shaking. For all the times I've solo travelled around the world in the past year and a half, this has never happened to me before. That morning, I finally understood why airports need therapy dogs.⁣ ⁣ (Continued below...)
  • Not the most aesthetic of Instagram photos, but tonight will be my last (out-of-home) dinner in London, so I thought I would make it a very British one: Fish and chips, and a pint of cider on tap. 🍟 Photo taken while at a Reddit meet-up for the season premier of "Game of Thrones"! (The UK plays a rerun of it the night after.)
