Could it be..

Is it she??
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

May your beauty not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes but be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. (1 Peter 3:3-4)

Love you cheche!

WAHHHHH

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!
hehhe :))

My b'day started Malaysian time because mommy had to leave. I got a journal and a coat from her. Very nice coat. :D
Thanks ma!
(I tried a couple of diff poses..but the "cool" pose ..lets just say it's not me lah!)

So I got my early morning call from da sis at 6.30am. :))
Class at 9.30am. I was told to "come hungry" and 2 of my classmates bought breakfast (croissants, chocolatines and something like a cinnamon pastry/roll)!

Went out for lunch with two of my lab mates

Came back home because I had to use my home pc and guess what I found??

A package from LAVAL?!
I don't know anyone who lives in Laval (which is just off the Island of Montreal). Well, D used to live there, but now she's in Miami.
And then opening it carefully (= ripping it!)
I found a box..

and the box contained treasures. hehehe.

Thanks sister!!!

K sent me a gift cert from amazon.ca. oooo!

Anyway, I had work to do today. Work that was beyond my scope of knowledge. Thanks W for trying to help but not having the time to do so. :)
By God's grace ,D is helping me do it now.
and thanks to J who suggested how I should do it.

Anyway, so what have I done to deserve such blessings? Absolutely nothing! Thank you God for your grace and mercy. You are absolutely amazing and so incredibly loving.

Thank you family for your love.
Thank you friends for more love!

And the rest of the trip...

We had cake and tea after the museum. Here is my chocolate mousse.

I don't know what V is doing..
The next day we went out for lunch. :)
and I pigged out..PIGGED out.
You see...it was a brunch menu. And scones were on the menu.
Now, how can I refuse a scone. But how can I have only one scone for lunch?
heheh.
scrambled eggs and 2 sausages wrapped in pancetta.
Anyway, yeah..needless to say I was very full.
:)

V, her parents and friends.

At the museum

The museum was a pretty cool place.
V's favourite bit is the kids section. It's crazy inside. So nice! Kids can explore the nations. They have different sections/nations so that you can learn about the culture.
V does Asian.

Inside the Pyramid.
In the Japan and nature section. V demonstrates how to fish.
hehe.
Then we went to see an IMAX show - the Wild Ocean.
Wah liao. I got sea sick! :(
In the Zen/Japanese garden
I decided to do jumping shots. hahaha.

che wah...! ahha.

Ottawa 2

At noon, V called and we met up. Had lunch and searched for entertainment after.
We stopped at the Museum of fine arts, but you had to pay to see.
it's a nice building..made out of glass.

So we walked to the Museum of Civilization - V's fav.
On the way...
I pretended I was some guy..apparently this guy saw Ottawa and said "ah hah!".
So ok lah. I also go ah hah!
And I went gangsta..

V reading in french. and me contributing "tres bien! tres bien!"
haha. go me!
The Museum is located in Hull, Quebec. So to reach Hull, we had to cross a bridge
On one side is Hull, QC

And on the other is Ottawa, ON
It was a rickety bridge. Well, I say rickety but it was steel reinforced..but ..y'know..just walk quickly! :)
Some metal cap showing you the QC/ON border. I think that's the bridge we walked on with the museum on the right.
V showing her house in relation to where we were..Off the map.

ottawa 1

Hi hi!
Went to Ottawa on Thursday to do some stuff and visit V. Came back Sunday night.
So this is ottawa..
Surrounded by rivers and canals



Some of the places I visited

On Friday, I set off (while V was in class) to find the Malaysian high com to get my drivers license translated.

The high com is located on Botelier.
War memorial
So I turned right onto Botolier, and saw an embassy on my right. It was gigantic and it had Jawi on the sign. So I thought to myself, "Malaysia uses Jawi meh?" "wah, look at the size of the residence! living the good life".
then I walked on somemore, and found another sign which had more Jawi writing and palm trees. Then I thought "..eh..not Malaysia". haha.
So I kept on walking. Passed the Korean embassy and some other embassy and thought "where is the Malaysian flag?!", since I had reached the end of the road. So I turned back, and scanned the buildings one more time..and saw the Malaysian flag! I had missed it because it was opposite the big embassy building which I was paying so much attention to..
haiyoh.
See? I was there.
Proud to be Malaysian! haha. Couldn't find any Malaysians in the high com though!
The receptionist was gwai lo and the sr staff was philipino. hm..
anyway, I asked the receptionist to take a picture of me with the flag. haha.
and I registered to vote! yay!
Then I went to Byward market and explored the area.
V's class ended at noon.
I was excited when I found this bakery..
To test it out, I went for the cheapest item on the menu - a brioche.

..hm..meh. not great.
Stick to Montreal!
Pumpkin season!


What Ottawa is famous for..
It's fried flat dough with toppings..

Data blues

Sigh. Data not working out.

So at times like these, there's only one thing to do..
read PHD comics!

up the mountain

I climbed walked up the mountain on Sunday. It was really pretty.


This reminder me of the road near Old Klang Rd - the one mommy likes with all the trees covering.
As if they are waving hello to you. Like in Narnia, dryads bowing as the king walks by.
hehe. not that I'm a king laahh. :) but that kinda image.
You know it's fall when the leaves are falling.

today is really cold. It's only the 3rd of Oct, but the temp has fallen to 6 degrees!
You need to persevere up the mountain so that you can reach the park. :)

a duck!
and finally where I sat. see the table at the top? I sat on the rocks up there, watching the waterfall, eating my sponge cake and drinking me java.
:)
