Murtabak in Toronto !

约两个周末前，天气很好，我和Ed驶车闲逛。来到一个波兰人聚住的地区，刚好有一个波兰式的街头节庆 (street festival)。我喜欢街头节庆，我们就停下来看看。有波兰舞蹈表演，有波兰食物等。但最吸引我的档摊是马来西亚的murtabak挡 !!

I found this cute cartoon online (www.zditto.name) Hmm….I don’t see any direct relation to Mid Autumn Festival.

TIFF Diary (2) : My First Volunteer Shift

DAY TWO (Sept 7th, Fri) 早上六点，在闹钟还未来得及吵醒我时，我已自动醒来。朦松间，心里有点诧异：我怎么这么疯? 在药剂行上班时也没这么早起床！我七点钟已到达Cumberland 戏院，竟早到半个小时。有一，两个volunteers也已到了，人人都有点似醒非醒的。今天，我是一名ACE volunteer, 即是紧急工作人员。依常规，ACE 要到自愿工作人员的休息室报到。在值班的时间，如果接到任何一个部门或戏院请求帮忙的电话，ACE 工作人员就会马上被分派到该地工作。听说，如果在值班的时间的头两，三个小时，没接到请求帮忙的电话，ACE 可以提早放工。
