MIdnight surprise!

LOgged on to MSn tonite and found a pleasant surprise! My little cousin can use MSN! HAha... You would find him answering me with 'one-word' answers. And a 'y' abbreviated for 'yes'. And those weird motion emoticons which juz scares the hell out of me. HAha.. well, he's trying. And i'm so glad to see him engaging in something related to language. It's a start at least, an informal way of getting exposed to language. Hopefully it doesn deviate to singlish. HEHhe..

I was asking him what he wants from disneyland. And the conversation went like this.

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....
