Finding meaning

It's currently 8.00p.m. (Pacific time). It's a Saturday. And I'm in my room. Typing out a post. Listening to Oldies. What does that mean? Nothing... that means a something. Well, anyway... I just decided to snap a picture of the sunset because... it's 8p.m. and the sun is still out! It's going to be fun in summer... Haha... Now... On to proper updates on my oh-so-interesting life...

Other views from the balcony are as follows. Not very spectacular views but it should be fun watching the sunset. (I'm not a sunrise sort of person)For some reason, there's just this barren land between the house I'm in and the next house on my right. Weird...Not some superstitious cursed cemetary. I hope... Hehe.. That would be fun... (This city seriously needs some "fun" by the way) There is NOTHING here unless you go downtown.
Can you see the Skytrain rail behind the houses?.. It's about 10 minutes walk from the house which is not too bad. I do a lot of walking here I realised. Guess that's what happens when you have to make do with what you have...


OKay... I'm done with my tribute wall... I took out whatever pictures I had and stuck em' up FINALLY. Nice, nice? I'm sorry Sarat... We seriously do NOT have pictures. Well, we do... Just VERY little...
The rest of the room looks a little like this...

As you can see, I covered up the glass blocks... Hopefully, that helps to block out the morning sun. I like to sleep in alright! Morning sun just ruins my day for me. I'm trying to get into my vampire mode of sleeping at 4-5 a.m. but the sun at 8 a.m. can be such a drag...
I like this poster... It's just 4 pictures of 4 couples kissing in random places. Very random indeed...
And not forgetting my study area. It isn't so plain anymore now I guess...So after all the posting up of posters, I decided to admire my work and my feet? Hehe.. I got trigger-happy for a while I guess with the camera...
My hair is a little longer... after ONE YEAR...Looks like I have to wait a little while more before I can cut it again... On a another happier note, it's warm enough to wear shorts! It may be 14 degrees but what the hell... I haven't used shorts for so LONG and it's the holidays!

Enjoy!

Feeling it... NOT

Finals are over. The relief of it WAS there. But I don't feel it anymore knowing that school starts yet again in 12 days! So much for freedom. However, that's never stopped any of us from having fun. So... Just a little update now before I really sit down soon (like in a few days) and blog about the Vaisakhi festival in downtown (which happened like 2 weeks ago). And yes, I know I'm behind. Give me a break. The sun doesn't come out often here! Let me enjoy the sunshine for as long as I can.

Sarah (my French ex-housemate) has left for her hometown - Quebec City which takes a 3-day drive. And when I say drive, I mean a full round-the-clock sorta drive. Pass the Rockies and then onto farmland. I think I should do a roadtrip... Hmm... Anyone up for a drive? A very LONG one?

Anyway, we decided to go to Cactus Club Cafe to treat her to lunch. And we both had a Bellini - sangria and peach puree - while the guys had their Ugly Ale. The next time I'm there, I want to try that. Apparently it's really good there. The Bellini is a very "woman-ly" sorta drink... I liked it. So much so by the end of the lunch, I think I was too happy for no reason.

Looks yummy no? It is on the sweet side. That's why I say only women would enjoy a drink like this...

OKay... So since she moved out, I get the room with a view. I get the room with the PATIO. Hehe.. My own patio where I get to see the sunset. No sunrise... which is good for me. I don't want the sun in the morning. It is so potong stim when I go to sleep late hoping to wake up LATE but end up waking up at 7 because the sun is in my face.
As you can see... I am in the midst of keeping my junk.
I have so much junk... sometimes it amazes me...
I'm trying to put up my pictures again. It may look simple but it is tough work!
And something to actually shout about.... I found IndoMie... Hahaha... I haven'y had IndoMie is like AGES. I'm going to have it for lunch or dinner tomorrow...

An ending note... Please let the 12 days last forever..........

Chameleon

I’ve been a wondering soul for the most part of my life and I think I still wonder too much if that’s possible. I’m neither here nor there. But I’m still around. I realised that I don’t fit in; not anywhere.

Like a chameleon, I conform to my surroundings. I blend in and for a while, I think I’m good at it yet something at the back of my mind tells me that I’m just convincing myself of it. Am I really pressured to conform? Am I the trickster that fools everyone else? Or… am I the fool herself.

Knowledge is power. That much I agree. But using it for self-interest reasons, is that going out of bounds? Do I portray an image I want to see? Or am I just hiding behind a mask in a masquerade ball? Is stability what I want? Or the challenge of pretending? Do you know who I am? Do I even know myself?

Do I deserve to be called a friend?

Just another day

I had another exam today... It's the earliest I ever woke up in ages... I was up at 5.30 a.m. and there was already enough light outside to see. Weird... But anyway, I woke up early to actually study. I was playing around the days before... I wonder why I always leave things to the last minute and rush like a mad person afterwards. The exam was okay I guess. Nothing to jump up and down for. My right pointer finger was really pain while writing the exam though. I think it's a blister. It's red and there's a huge bump. It's pain everytime I bend my finger (which is almost all the time). Damnit...

Of course, after Monday is over, I'm FREE. But freedom only lasts so long. I only have 2 weeks of break before I go back to school for a summer term. And in that time, I'm praying I get to find a job somewhere... I seriously need one. I need the $$$. I realised that I have NOT shopped in AGES. From going to shopping malls every other day to MONTHS without ever going to a mall. That's pretty extreme even for me! It's not that I'm a shopaholic and I NEED to shop or I'll die. But I guess I could term it as a culture shock.

If before, I spent so much time going out, my life now should pretty much include being stuck in my room isn't it? Don't get me wrong. Vancouver is beautiful in the very nature sort of way but ... sometimes you just miss home where engine fumes, traffic jams, and late nights out rule your life. Being the owl that I (truly) am, there was just so many things to do at night. The day was our night and the night was our day. BUT now, I've succumbed to the good-iness. Hard to believe? Well, I sleep even before midnight. And I wake up by 7. WITHOUT AN ALARM CLOCK!!! Shocker?.. I know. I'm pretty sure you guys still don't believe me but what do I need to lie for?

On a happier note...

4 DOWN 1 TO GO!!!!!

2 down 3 to go

To take the time off from the books, I went to watch Fast and Furious... I liked the car scenes. But the most rewarding... having Paul Walker and Vin Diesel team up again! Who could ask for a better duo? Storyline might be a little sad but overall, not bad...

Speaking of hot actors... Johnny Depp has a new movie coming out! Public Enemies... I saw the trailer before Fast and Furious started and it looks like a really good movie. Most movies with JD are always good anyway. And what we all love about him? He always plays the weird characters only he can pull off. Hats off to the man!

In reality, I can't wait for finals to be over. I can finally start reading Twilight. I bought these books like last year before I left for Canada and I still haven't read them. That's one thing to look forward to.

So the semester is over and I have finals on. SO yes, I am still alive and kicking. Just a little tied up with finals which by the way begins tomorrow. But I'm here blogging on updates... It's been a while anyway.

1. Finals are up: 1 down 4 to go. I think I did alright in Mandarin. See how that goes...
2. THANK GOD FOR THE SUN
3. BOO THE DRIZZLE
4. I'm hooked on Supernatural; currently streaming Season 3. For some reason, the rest of the series are really sucky now AND I have finals. Damn KOW right?
5. Am currently listening to Oldies; Doo Wop era with big hairs and tiny waists.
6. I found henna! And I've been tattooing myself. Woot!
7. Still thinking if I should get one.... Hmm....

Okie dokei. That about sums up my very boring life.

Toodles.
