Voices of a Distant Star...

Yes, i'm blogging twice in a day! HAha..

ANyways, watched this anime by SHinkai Makoto during JApanese Animation class. I think its reall brillant with the content and pace of the narrative. Of course, the NASA part sounds a bit far-fetched, but no harm with some novelty yeah?!

It almost put me to tears. HAha.. the typical love story... Whoever said animations are amateur works?! well, thats what i thougt before... Hehhee...

Hmm... quality isnt that good. HHehe.. no choice.ENjoy!

-9 degrees Celcius....

The temperature reached -9 degrees today.It wasnt even this cold with snow! My jeans felt like some air-conditioner, i could constantly feel cold air all over my legs! so much for jeans being warm...

We went for free lunch today for teh second time! haha. i'm totally crazy about the free food that mcgill is giving out at SSMU building everyday. Well, Hui qin and the rest arent so enthu. Hehe.. its my kind of food. Considering they cant fathom how i can eat pure brown rice everday. HEHe.. Apparently, this free food thing is ongoing the whole semester. And we only found out in teh last week of semester! ahha.. well, better than nothing.

They're actually petitioning and doing publicity for the poor and hungry in Montreal, promoting some kind of anti-capitalism against the 'rich' who eat buffet at The Reine Elizabeth Hotel. Hui qin asks," How come they can bother to do such stuff?" Well, if you ask me, they're a bunch of motivated and enthusiastic socialist advocates.

Some pic! well, only a couple.

X'mas lights from Mcgill till St Catherine. love that Big 'christmas tree' right in the middle!

Snow outside house.... Battery went dead on me after taking one pic! hehe...

David Gray!

Recently discovered this singer David Gray in Katie's ipod! Absolutely love his songs! hehe... And he's going to Toronto and CHicago for his tour next week! Now i need to find a way to get there... hehe.. JK. His songs have a melancholic nature. Especially 'This Year's love'. But absolutely love his album 'White Ladder'.

BLANK

No idea what title to put... cos this post is just about everything. hhhee..

WEnt to Toronto & Niagara Falls over the weekend. The falls just look awesome, especially at nite when it gets illumninated. WE kinda got a free shower cos the waters were jus too strong. hehe.. it was kinda funny taking a pic and having water splashing on ya face. N i finally got to sending some postcards back home. hhehe..

COuldn say that much about Toronto though, just that it looks like 10 times of Singapore and a place with a Chinatown population of 40,000 chinese. HAHah.. kinda like little china there. I got so excited at the authentic HK eateries there! 10 dumplings cost only CAD$5! haha...

Well, weather in Montreal is getting really cold. IT started out with flurry, followed by freezing rain and now, its raining hale. Basically they are all different versions of snow, which just doesn get to snow. The road gets all squishy and squashy with black and white snow alike. WEll, the white snow basically gets black when pple step on it. heheh.. Nevertheless, it just puts a smile on my face to see WHITE snow all around. Thank god i'll be back home by the time it gets REALLY Winter...

Oh, happy 21st to Si too! Glad that the album came to good use!

P.S. Looking forward to 20th December when i'll be in California!!!

FUNNY random blog...

I think i'm getting REALLY slow.... with my brain, hands and legs. i wonder whether its a good or bad thing. Well, probably cos weather's getting chilly, and i cant bring myself to walk too much in this weather... HAHa... which is a sign that i'll most prob get fat. I think its starting though, especially when i'm living with 2 hungry ghosts...

On a lighter note, i was randomly reading people's blogs when i came across this. Seriously, it was a random blog....

"The kids had an ice skating party on Weds. night. The place was mayhem - kids all over the place, pizza being served, drinks, sweets....I got on skates but my kids had to drag me around the rink...my skills leave something to be desired.

During one of our trips around the rink my son ran into his friend Shannon - a little Chinese girl. He told me that he wanted to marry her. He said the same to her. She replied, "I can't marry you, you're not Chinese."

He said, "Yes I am, I'm half chinese." I said, "No you're not!" He said, "Yes I am - I"m half Korean." I had to hold back the tears - it was hysterical."

P.S. The author is the boy's father and a fellow at Stanford uni. Interesting....

SNOW!!!

I came out of the metro this morning to find it snowing!!! its juz so marvellous to see small white shiny stuff falling from the sky... and you get so amazed at how God made this world!!! HAHAha... i was practically smiling to everyone on the street... they probably think i'm crazy.... who cares... its snowing!!!

Juz for Si!

Si was asking me on MSN lately, "why nothing on your blog lately?". So, being a nice fren, i decided to post something. Its funny why she asked that when she can tok to me directly on msn! hehee...

its been a while since i blogged.. i think. well, nothing up lately. Went through a really crazy week of 3 mid terms (well, take the word 'crazy' with a pinch of salt). After that, its juz slacking all the way man... hehe.. weather's been pretty cold lately. 'Someone' has totally turned down the temperature of this air-con. Could 'someone' pls tell that 'someone' to turn it up? that'd be really good! well, juz means BYE BYE to my beloved havaianas.... and hello to boots and shoes.

Its halloween week. Went to vieux port on saturdy to catch 'Le Grande Masquerade". Its this parade with people all dressed up parading all the way from mcgill till vieux port. Great stamina in this weather! hehe.. it was interesting to see them all dressed up and all. Well, i think its kinda like chingay, minus the gaudy costumes chingay people wear.. hehee.. and the weather of course.

It's been 2 months since i'm here... reflection time... hehe.. kinds fast... it feels like forever since i've been living here:$ its funny how i'm here for 2 months and taking the metro, walking on St Catherine street, going to Pool room for POUTINE @ 2am become so natural. Btw, POUTINE is my new fab food. heehe. totally sinful french fries with cheese and poutine sauce/gravy. Waking up and sleeping whenever i want to, on a 'single-event-a-day' kind of schedule unlike in singapore when i can do 1001 things in a day. How did i ever do that?! gosh...

oh! and its planning for eoy trip time!!! i'm TOTALLY excited for it! HAhaa.. been busy coordinating it with different people. Whoever said that working with people is easy... hehee. nah... i still love these peeps:D hehe.. its kinda settled and i need to source for flights and hostels n VEGAS hotels! the rates are juz creeping up every single day. its scary...

P.S. feet TOTALLY hurts from walking for almost an hour on my freaking high-heeled boots... i cant even bear to walk up the hill to Stewart Bio...:(
P.S. sorry si, cant make it for ya party! and i wont get to see ya when i go back!!! no worries, we'll have cake when you come back!
