Second CuP at Greene Ave

Hello! :)

Winter is coming! On the streets, everyone is wearing thicker jackets (and I can see that their favourite brand is North Face)... but I love my jacket too much.. I willcontinue to wear my same old jacket. :P

Today I went to the café Second Cup, the one at Greene Ave.. because I know the one at Ste Catherine has lots of students studying crazily.

On my way back, I need to go through the underground tunnel to get to the Atwater metro station. In the underground tunnel, there was a busker playing his guitar and singing the song "What a friend we have in Jesus" in French.

Suddenly I thought I was part of an AM movie. O_O

U know, in many AM movies, there is a person walking alone in the underground tunnel thinking about something and there is always someone playing the saxophone or the guitar in the background.

Yellow yellow yellow

Yellow yellow yellow... Every tree is turning yellow
But this does not mean you can be a dirty fellow.

The squirrel also loves the yellow tree.
Picture was taken in Parc Angrignon.

Do you have change?

In Singapore, if people ask you "Do you have change?" they really wanna ask you whether you have smaller change for their note. For example, a $2 note to exchange for 2 $1 coins.
But here, if people ask you "Do you have change?" They wanna ask if you have spare cash to give them.

Yesterday, I was going to the supermarket.. at around 8pm. I wanted to buy orange juice. So..I headed towards Provigo..

On my way there, I saw some people (a few more than usual) asking around for money..
Then there was this AM guy who asked everyone near the traffic lights "Do you have change?"
Sensing someone behind, he turned around and asked "Change?"
After seeing me with my "chinese" face, he turned away and continued asking other passerby for change even before I replied "no."

Rain Rain Rain

Today I was in Macdonalds for lunch (Bacon Cheeseburger + sweet and sour sauce). I chose to sit at the table with a view facing the street.

It was raining heavily and the wind was super strong. Almost everyone was struggling with their umbrellas. I know that I will struggle with mine on my way home so I ate my cheeseburger super slowly...hoping that the rain will stop soon..

Oh anyway.. did u realise that the "Ex" in the Fedex van is red instead of the usual orange we see in Singapore?

People's Potato

For the past few days.. I have been having lunch at People's Potato.
It's great that they serve free lunch at People's Potato.
They serve different vegetarian food everyday which is good, so we won't get tired of eat the same food everyday. :)
And although I think some of the food tasted a little funny, I like visiting People's Potato.
Not only do I get free lunch, I get to interact with some of my friends too. :)

But cos I have been there for the past few days.. today I decided to cook my own potato..

At Provigo today

The other time I told you that I can't find any strawberry milk in Montreal right?
Guess what? I saw it at Provigo today! and there's the buttermilk flavour milk! Interesting right? haha.

And beside the buttermilk flavoured milk is the Beatrice white milk. The Beatrice milk reminds me of 周崇庆 (Dennis Chew) because of the show Paris and Milan (女王本色). haha.
"My name is Beatrice, may I help tyou"

And today I am really happy.. because my favourite Québon chocolate milk is on sale! yay!

Baguettes.. I have to warn u.. they are really addictive. I can't stop eating it.

In Toronto

If you wondered why you haven't heard from me for a long time.. it's because
1. My computer was in coma
2. My toes were in Torontooo!

Yes! I went to Torontoooooooo!
And visited many touristy places.
That's what tourists do - visit touristy places.

Ok. And then there was once at night we were walking back to the hotel.
We stopped at the traffic lights and waited for it to turn green so we can cross.
And then suddenly, an old uncle came from the back and "pppppoooouuuuuiiiiii" his spit landed on the floor right in front of us.
We were all disgusted.
I thought I only have to siam a lot in China because many ppl spit onto the ground.
It seems that some people in Toronto do that too.

*update 07/10/10
People in Montreal do that too..
I went to supermarket today and saw 2 people spit on the ground

Geekier

I thought I am a true geek with geeky glasses.
But I met a geekier geek than me. She is the true blue cool geek.. and she doesn't need the geeky glasses.

Meet Vanessa.

I apologise for the the tiny picture of her. I took a picture of her from quite a distance away because I can't let her know that I'm taking picture of her.

Wow. She is the coolest geek I have ever met so far.
Not only does she know how to repair electronics, create applications and games, she also know hows about hacking and stuff. Wah!

My computer went into coma the other day.. and even though I am a geek, I do not know how to revive my computer. I had to ask for help and fortunately I met Vanessa. She helped me to revive my computer. While waiting for Windows to be reinstalled.. we talked about some really geeky stuff.. I can feel her passion for all this kind of stuff.. U can see that she really loves it by the way she talks about it. I wondered where did my passion for all the geeky stuff gone to.

Golden coca cola

Look, I am holding a golden Coca Cola!

If you think anything that is golden is good, think again.

69 cents in Provigo (before tax).

This is Diet Coke, as you can see.
It has no sugar and no caffeine.
Taste? Horrible.
I didn't even finish the can of coke.

It tasted very metallic.
