what is that?!

While roaming the streets of Hong Kong, you will undoubtedly walk by some food stand/stall somewhere serving some tasty food. On one such walk our friends and I (Lucy, Albert, Karen) were intrigued by a clipping sound. It was subtle but distinct, we looked around and found that it came from this little shack, I mean establishment.

We moved in closer to find out that this place was selling beef parts.  Me not being a fan of such delights wanted to move on, but Lucy and Karen were intrigued/curious. It’s not like they have never tried eating this kinda stuff before, but trying from this particular place was different. So they made their order and the guy sniped away at the bits with an Edward Scissorhands like motion.

Lucy and Karen asked fo some hot sauce and I take it that his original supply was depleted so he needed to go to the source. Out came a huge tub, just about spent, which he shuffled back and forth to get out. It reminded me of those ketchup commercials where people had a hard time getting it out of the bottle, a little entertaining.

So, how did it taste? Well again, I am not a fan so I did not try it out, but according to Lucy and Karen, it was all pretty good.

guess who?!

So I have been over seas on vacation with Lucy for the past couple of weeks and although I have been blogging like usual, I have been trying to come up with a creative and fun way of telling all of you that I am away without saying…”umm…hi…I am on vacation..” or something to that effect.

It was not until some friends showed up tonight that gave me the fun way of saying…”hey..some friends are over…and not over at my place kinda way” hmm…maybe I over thought this whole thing.

In any case, guess who just arrived!?!?

Sandy and Albert!!!! Of course, we could not have started the trip without some late night snacks!! This is why I love travelling in asia!! It’s 1am and we can still get tasty street food!! More about the trip soon. If you can’t wait for “official” blog posts, follow my Tumblr here with quick snapshots.

ohh..so…hi…I am on vacation =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Global Ivey Day

eEarlier this month, Lucy and I had the opportunity to document a very unique event. This event was a great place for Alumni to connect and reconnect with each other as well as celebrate all things Ivey. What made this event unique was that it was being celebrated in over 20 different cities, from Africa, Beijing, Dubai, Germany, Hong Kong, London, India and Shanghai just to name a few.

The event began with an award ceremony that recognized emerging leaders in various fields. Among the many awards, Joshua Silvertown’s caught my attention the most. Josh was awarded the Ivey emerging leader in community advancement for his company, DreamCatcher Mentoring,which brings e-mentoring and leadership programs to high school students. I think that is pretty cool! Check out the other winners here.

After the award ceremony there was no shortage of entertainment from the The University of Western’s own live Jazz band, to Canadian Idol contestant Mookie from Mookie and the Loyalists as well as some really cool ribbon dancing and live art. Furthermore, the food catered by Daniel et Daniel was simply amazing!!! Here are some of the images of the evening!
