While waiting for my hair to dry on this lovely night (it's about 4am), i shall update my blog!
I FINISHED MIDTERMS. Or does everyone know that already? =) feels incredible. (cant believe i'm actually mugging harder here than back home.) I got up really late anyway today (too late to say cos parents reading) cos i've been sleeping really late the past fews days (again, parents reading). Best news of the day was that even though i woke up late, my classes were either CANCELLED or OPTIONAL. *beams* so in fact, i didnt miss much at all =) But as a result of the strike, i missed lunch cos the cafe grill was closed and all the burgers they prepared beforehand weren't enough to satisfy the insatiable appetite of the meat-loving college kids here. sigh... i was prepared to walk to Tim Hortons, but again, the queue was astronomically long - stretching almost outside the store. sigh... i could without lunch i guess. =P
Spent a good part of the afternoon talking to a friend back home. Take care ya... dont want anything to happen to you =) Seems like many things are happening back home and i'm not really there. I dont feel guilty but i'd like to be there, for support, for action and just to participate i guess. My dragonboat team is disintegrating. Don't even know the current status, other than the people i'm closer to (and make me happy rowing) have left. Rowing was and will always be about making friends and rowing AS ONE for me. So if it doesnt happen with this current team, then there's no point staying. Just hope you guys find yourself a good new team, and remind them to keep a space for me! =) miss you all...
Highlight of the day - ICE SKATING! my goodness, i'm going to do this every week till i perfect it. it's so so fun. i think i should try to fall... the guys do so well cos they are so garang. i probably held onto the railings all the way till the last 20 mins (even though ck glared at me everytime i did it cos he's so daring and it worked. He does it so well now and it's probably his first try!) =) When i get home, i'll be a skate queen! =) watch out. haha
We played more CRAMIUM! Goodness... it's super addictive, especially when you win! hahaha =) loads of fun all thanks to ck who spent $37 on it. I now realise i can spell "whimsical" backwards, yx can do charades damn well, joe can draw (eyes open and close), selena knows the exciting history of canada and marilyn just about gets everything else =) we're good.
i leave you with pictures of Victoria, capital of vancouver, ( i think the order should be something like: Parliament House at night, FISH AND CHIPS!!!, the ferry we took over, Jehova's Witness - it's banned back home and Parliament House by day)

chris' birthday party (in which she claims she didnt have any idea of and thus her fugly self)

a day out shopping at metrotown (HUGE shopping mall - about 4 times Suntec i think) with the guys trying on weird LADIES winter jackets... haha (don't kill me joe...)


all the notices around school informing us about the strike today - the school was so empty...


AND, this new exciting building school - the Health Science Center!

Looks familiar? Of course, that's just the main arts library! Hollywood is in town! We've just become the set for the latest Al Pacino blockbuster titled "88 minutes". People love filming here cos the production costs are so much cheaper. Now you know... =)
