It's been a while..

Went ice-skating last Fri for the first time at UBC Thunderbirds Winter Sports Centre!! Damn cool to have a ice-skating rink in your own university!! Although we had to pay 5 cad bucks for entry and rental, it was worth it as the rink was not crowded unlike those in Singapore and the best thing is that you can rent hockey skates which are so much more comfortable!!

Made our way to Seattle factory outlet for shopping on Saturday!!! Joel, Ha, Zhenni, Vince and me rented a car as the shuttle service there was too expensive. It was my first time driving in Canada and USA and across the border!! Was excited to drive initially but the journey took more than 3 hours!! And to make things worse, everyone was sleeping in the car when i was driving!! I had to massage myself to keep awake man!! But looking on the bright side, i take it that my driving was stable enough for them to sleep haha... En route to Seattle, we stop by Krispy Kreme!! They actually have an open showcase of how they make and fry the donuts!! We ended up buying 2 dozens of donuts! One dozen of plain sugar coated ones and a dozen of assorted flavours!! Oh and thanks Joel for coming with us and giving us directions and bringing us to the nice HK restaurant for dinner!! The dinner was good though we had to pay 12 Cad for it. The waitress actually spilled my hot cup of tea on my jeans!! Grr, luckily it only scalded my thigh a bit. After dinner, Joel brought us to this place in Stanley Park where there was a good view of Vancouver. We could also see Lions Gate Bridge up, close and personal!!

the road trip gang!

Krispy Kreme!

Delicious Donuts!!

The factory outlet had many major brands like CK, Guess, Nike, Adidas, Levi's, Polo RL, Banana Republic and many more and the price was much lower than their original prices. I bought a pair of Adidas basketball shoes for a mere 34 cad and a pair of Levi's for slightly more than 30 cad!! The jeans wasn't great but good enough for me haha...

entering the shopping paradise

after lunch

Had my third Engineering Professionalism lecture today and i still have problem writing down what was been said. The lecturers here speak much faster English with their respective Caucasian accents which is so different from Singapore lecturers. The students here are also much more vocal and they all seem to be very zhai and keep well abreast of general issues, which is beginning to stress me out! Zhenni's house mate actually went to the library to study during the first weekend!! To think that i was assuming that people here are more slack than Asians in studying, i'm so wrong...

introducing the car, Smart!

After lessons, Zhenni suggested walking to the nearby Wreck Beach as the weather was very sunny today. For your information, Wreck Beach is the only nude beach around!! But it is winter now so no one will be that crazy to go full monty haha... Upon reaching the entrance of the trail leading to the beach, we were greeted by a super long flight of stairs which seems never-ending!! However, it was worth it when we reached the beach as the view was good and the air was fresh!! We were each busy taking our own photos and didn't even feel cold. However, it was a arduous journey back because we have to now climb up the same flight of stairs that we came down from!! I took it as leg exercise and Zhenni couldn't even walk straight even before halfway up the stairs!

are u reading what i read? *cheeky*

zhenni about to embark on her journey!!

UBC!!

We later realisd that Vince actually skipped lecture and was trying to get us!! In the end, he spent the noon photocopying his textbooks with Ha. He was whining to Zhenni about us not calling him along, sorry Vince!!

-Specially for you-

wish u were here..
