I'm FINE

I think I want to change my blog's name. Any suggestions? ANyone? It's sort of hard to explain especially to family members what is up with the blog name. Not that I can because it was well... random... But anyway... this week is such a bummer week. I had midterms and I think I might be flunking that Economics paper. I haven't been studying so I deserve whatever mark that comes my way. I just haven't had the mood to study, not that everybody has the mood but I just haven't been myself for a long while. I'm FINE everyone. It's just different I guess. I waste a lot of time doing nothing. I stay in my room most of the time since its warm-ER. I daydream in class. I daydream when I actually need to study. I daydream practically all the time. That's actually a normal thing that I do but now it's like... I don't even know what it's like now. I haven't been sleeping well though I seem to be doing fine day dreaming. I wake up every hour or so. And the other day I had such a bad nightmare I cried in my sleep and woke up crying. Again. I'm FINE. Don't ask me why it happened. It just did and my whole day was so fcked. All I wanted to do was sleep. But once I actually got back to my room, I couldn't. I hate that when that happens. It's a fcked up feeling. It makes you feel sick. I felt sick. and uncomfortable and just not in the mood for anything. Jeez, when the fck did I become so emo?

Anyway. just for the heck of saying it again. I'm FINE.

Apple Festival @UBC

I went to the Apple Festival over at University of British Columbia with my dad today. It was a really good day. So sunny without a drop of rain or a dark cloud in the sky. I miss hot weather so badly you have no idea. ANd the FOOD... I would do almost anything to get a plate of good nasi lemak or char kuey teow or wan tan mee or CHILLI TERBANG... I need some spice in my life or at least food, people!

Anyway, back to the apple festival... A little bit of "Apple MAth" for you people out there that have no cooncern whatsoever of apples. They have feelings you know... Well, no but just pretend they do and read the damn sign below! Thank you.

Interesting, no?This are the biggest apples I found on the table among the 200 over other apple species and yes, there are that many apple species. Not even kidding...
And this are the smallest ones I saw on the table. Pretty red jewels aren't they? You could just run off with them and no one would know...
All the apples are packed and ready to be sold to everyone who wants to buy them. We got the Ambrosia and Honeycrisp. Cool names eh?Ooh, there's also these apple chips which are basically sliced dried apples which are so sedap. I was like, zOMG- these are GOOD stuff. You guys should try them. Really...
Some jam here too. I got to test some apples for free over at the tents but for some, you had to pay. The apple pie was $4 per slice so we didn't get that and also, we had a huge lunch at some Taiwanese place. I had some spicy Taiwanese beef noodles. It was a HUGE bowl. You would have loved it though, Mr. Sexxayy...

Check out the line for the apple tasting. We weren't so keen to line up to eat more. Next year, maybe. Hah!
I saw this kid just lie on the ground. So adorable. Then comes his mom and brother to try and lift him up and as you can see, he ain't movin'!
How can these people here live without their coffee eh? I haven't even had one since I came here.
It's autumn as you can see. The leaves are turning red-ish orange. Pretty colours. But the colours ain't changing my opinion of the cold. I hate it. It's bloody 2 degrees outside now. How do these people survive here?

Rainy Monday mornings

Rainy Monday mornings... Don't they just get you down? It's supposed to be the beginning of a bright new week. It's supposed to be Thanksgiving. Am I thankful for anything? Maybe...

Behind every smile...

I look at this picture and all I see is sadness. She's bloody smiling, isn't she? But you know what, that smile is not honest, it's a mockery. That's exactly how I am every single fucking day. I'm a liar. I am but a fucking actor that struts his stuff on the stage. The audience that see me act think I am a great actor but what do they know? Behind every smile, I'm just a ticking bomb waiting to explode. Behind every smile, is just another person living in turmoil.

Go figure your own Mona Lisa...

Some Japanese restaurant on Granville St.

Hello hello... I had such a good all-you-can-eat sushi yesterday at this Japanese restaurant over on Granville St. that I am such a pig I swear. I think it was called Shabusen Japanese Restaurant. I had SO much sashimi it's amazing... I know I eat a lot but for last night's dinner, I ate a HELL lot... I took very few pictures because I was too busy eating.. Hehe..
So, for starters, I had the Edamame beans...

This is the nigiri sushi that we ordered. The Geoduck is the one wrapped with seaweed. The 2 pink ones on the left are the tuna nigiri ones. but it's the expensive part of the tuna:
"tolo" which is the belly part. The other 2 on the right is the yellow-fin tuna nigiri sushi.
As you can see here, we whacked like half of it before I realised I forgot to take a picture. Hehe, Just look at the sizes of that sashimi. Where can you get sashimi sliced that thickly around??
This is the tempura prawns which are really good too. For someone who doesn't really like prawns, I seemed to enjoy it =)
The Calfornia roll and some other sushi I can't recall what's it called but it was good...

So head on over there whenever youre in Vancouver. Just $22.95 without tax and tip, and oh, not forgetting your flight cost. Hehehe...

"Domo arigato Mr. Roboto...." Does anyone remember that song?It's a classic...

Common things

Ni HaO...

I have been trying my luck with Mandarin or more commonly known as Common Language if literally translated. Laugh all you want but I am trying it out. I need to actually... It kinda sucks when a "Western" country that I'm in is so full of them. I can't even understand it which sucks even more because I'm "partly" Chinese. I love stressing that part. That way I have an excuse not to know it.

Hahaha, anyway... my week has been going on pretty well. I just finished my first math midterm today and there's a movie night in the dorm tonight so it's all good. I got a hold on whatever pencils I had and started drawing today. I'm so transfixed by eyes, I don't know why. Guess it's because the eyes portray so many emotions all at once you never know which the person is feeling. I feel relaxed today. No fretting over midterms for at least a week more. But I seriously need to get my head into Economics... I don't know why my father thinks I should have taken it. I don't think it's me... Hmm... then again, I don't know myself so I have to see where this all takes me...

On another note, it's raya season. So to all my lovelies back home, Selamat Hari Raya. You have no idea how much I'm craving for rendang and nasi lemak right now. Al the pizzas and pastas and sandwiches are getting to me... I need my chilli padi like NOW! Haha, you know what I do when I get my sandwiches and pizzas and all that? I jam it with chilli flakes and tabasco sauce just to get some Ooomph! Hahahahaha, I know what youre thinking Joh,... Not HAPPENING Not even in a million years when women have wiped out the whole species of man with only you left in it... I'm gonna be late for Yoga..
