My first snowman

This is my first snowman outside my window. Sorry if it doesn't look like one. Just imagine it to be. :P

Speaking English

A lot of people do not know that our first language is English.

*Incident one*
I went to NY last week.. at the customs.. I presented my passport and the lady told me that I have to fill up the Green Card..

"Which language do you like?"
"English"
"We have a wide variety of languages you can choose from.. are you sure you want it in English?"
At that point, I was so tempted to ask "Do you have Singlish?"

*Incident two*
I met a chinese girl on the shuttle bus. After some greetings, she asked me in Chinese to speak a few sentences in Singapore language (说几句新加坡语). I gave her puzzled look and asked "Singapore language?" （什么新加坡语？）
She asked "What language do you speak in Singapore?"
I replied "English."
She gave a surprised face and said "Oh."

Second Happiest place?

I remember during one of the talks before school start, when one of the speakers said "Welcome to Montreal..... Montreal is the second happiest place in the world according to Lonely Planet."(First was Vanuatu). While everyone was wondering where is the happiest place in the the world, I thought of what my professor said when I was in year 2.

One day, I popped into my professor's office. Looking straight into my eyes, he asked "What does success mean to you?" I said "Being happy." He nodded and said "Some people told me that it means getting a good job, some think it means getting good grades." He paused, looked at me and said "Most importantly, you have to be happy."

People in Montreal r happy, but r they successful?
The lion is looking at u. It is not the merlion but it reminds me of the merlion. hehe. ;)

Ottawawawa...

I went to Ottawa on Saturday...
Nothing much but I heard it is nicer in Spring because of the beautiful Tulips.. all I got to see now were the Tulips' stems.

Anyway.. I walked past Starbucks and saw these words .. so nice right? hehe.

Rhubarb??

I bought the wrong jam.. Rhubarb? What is that?

Nonetheless, I spread the jam on my bread and ate my bread very happily. The jam was great! I finished it in less than 2 weeks. haha next, I'm going to say hi to Fig jam.. the jam I wanted to buy in the first place.

Leaves are falling

Oh no.. the leaves are falling from the trees! The trees are going bald. Help!

No Beijing 101 in Montreal. How?
