Learning it all...

It's been a month since I've been here.

Few things I notice:
1. People here walk heck of a fast... Singaporeans still take the cake but hell... these people walk fast

2. People here like to add "hey" to the end of their sentences like how Malaysians like to "lah"

3. What I called "effing cold weather", they call "perfect weather". I don't know how they can take this whole episode of rain. It just drizzles and drizzles and drizzles, it drives me nuts because it's so depressing to me.. People here LIKE to run IN THE RAIN. And not to mention how everything gets wet! Your clothes, your shoes, your hair...

P/S: And just for the sake of being a SFU student, I'm gonna say, "Support Cancer Research!" because Terry Fox's legacy still lives on. I may hate running in the rain but I did it today for the sake of supporting the Terry Fox Cancer Research Fund. Woot!

4. There's too many Chinese for my liking.. Hahahaahhaahahahhaha...

5. People do care about the environment. WE all RECYCLE!

6. I bloody hell miss chilli padi and sambal belacan and nasi lemak and wan tan mee and char kuey teow and yong tau foo and ... if I were to go on the list would never end. In short, I miss Malaysian food. I am so going to stuff my face with it when I go back in summer.


Anyway, these are some pictures I missed out. Have a look-see...

I went to Buntzen Lake in my 2nd week here. We went for a hike. I defnitely did NOT see a 4-hour hike come my way. Because I thought it was just to replax but heck no, these people love nature so much we hiked all round the lake.. It's no joke okay... It just kept on going on and on and on without an end. Where we thought was the end was just actually the other end of the lake which was such a disappointment since we have to hike to other end where we started...



Lots of trees here...
This is a......... slug? Well, it was weird looking so I took a picture
Lots of trees AGAIN...
As you can see, I wasn't attacked by any or saw any bears or cougars for that matter =)


This is a dam I visited somewhere near a salmon hatchery. It's pretty cool watching it from the top. You get sprinkled a lot...


This is where the water runs down from the dam. As you can see.. More trees...
This is a wolf. They are a protected species here. This guy looked really skinny and sad...


OKay, so away we are from nature and on to a more "spiritual" outlook... I go to church. No, I am not kidding just to make you choke on that sandwich your eating. I do go to church. It's called Holy Rosary Cathedral on Richards and Dunsmuir Streets in Downtown Vancouver. It is a VERY pretty church. I like to be in a church. I feel safe... The coloured glass the interior of the church is so pretty. I want to take a picture but I think it's rude to do so.

Don't you just love ending your day with a beautiful sunset? I do...
