The Night Scene

Couldn't believe this. After 3 months here in calagry, I finally get to see the city skyline. Thanks to Tim for taking us there. Its always hard to get around without a car in North America. Nothing really special bout the place. But still seeing everything for the first time is always interesting.


Also watched a stand-up comedy show that night. Why does the jokes need to be bout wifes and sexual innuendos all the time? Wonder wonder. But still I really admire the comedians. Going to the desert next week. Finally a trip. Waited so long for that.

The Favourite Things

Well, I am now currently rottin' in my room thinkin' bout the trips far far ahead of me. And my plan for next few months is just like the weather here. A moment everything is bright and sunny. Just as i thought that I can even breath easy, it became all snowy, cold and gloomy.

Since there is not trip to blog about..............................lets blog about things then. Haha. You think I'm gonna sign off with a gloomy random entry? No way man! Haha. Here are a few things that I found here in Canada and really like a lot.

First up the provocative yet really cool matchbox. Dun you just agree with the tag line. Well, if you dun agree, check your spam mail. they've got lots of remedy for you. Wahaha!


Next up is the Beaver's Droppings. I still remember how hard I laughed when my roommate's friends actually told me that she had some pretty cool droppings. Yucks! In case you dun understand, droppings = shit. I have no idea why they call this chocolate droppings.


Talkin' about sweet things, I really like this cute little Bird candy called Peeps . Oh, note that I like the look of it no eatin' it. Its so damn sweet that i need to drink so much water after having it.


Yes you have seen him before, the Smiley face candle that I've used for one of my friend's Birthday. The big one looks more like a bomb actually.


The next item is authentically Canadian. Tim Horton's. Its actually Canada's answer to the US starbucks i guess. Really dig their timbits and donuts. Banana flavoured timbit is my favourite. Isn't it ironic when i dun eat banana at all. Haha. A further plus point is the price. Its much more reasonable and cheaper than the other coffee chain too.


The last and final thing. Haha. No, I'm not being narcissistic. Yes i do love myself a lot but this is about the camera. After my freakin olympus keep screwing up on me. I have decided to get a Sony camera. Maybe i should steal it from my friend. YJ you did not see this. Hehe.

The Must Watch Concert

I've never been this blown away before by any performance. The 3 hours there seems only like 30 minutes. Wondering what I am talking about? Its the Christina Aguilera concert! This gal can really perform. She not only sings but she performed and entertained. I feel like I've been thrown into a whole different world at the Saddledome last night.
We reached there rather early about an hour before the show. Was uber excited to find out that out seat is not only close but also has a center stage view.
The openin act was sexay PCD. So cool. Watch them shake their booty make me wanna get up and dance too. They performed all their hits. Glad to be able to hear all those songs live. Songs that I've been clubbin' to. Manage capture some video on their dances too. These girls are really sizzling hot! We were so hyped up already even by now. And the best thing have yet to come.
We got really restless from waiting for the stage to be set up. But the wait was certainly worhtwhile. Judgin from the fact that there was really a lot of mechanical sutffs goin' on the stage later in the performance. After a 30 minutes long wait, Christina appeared in her classic white suit performing Ain't No Other Man.
The craziness continues as she belt out more hits from her new album plus the girl anthem Can't Hold Us Down. I bet the gals were singin along happily to this song. I really like the bing band swing style. I would really luv to hear her sing Makes Me Wanna Pray again. Her vocals are so powerful. I'm super duper impressed.
But stickin just to white will be a bit boring right? Just as I was thinkin of the glitters and gold of the early 50' s, she emerged in this shiny glittery outfit. Was really lost in the performance already by now. The partners dances choreo are really cool and naugthy too. Hope I can dance to this kinda choreo in the future man.
The thing I really like about Christina is she sings and not talk. I'm pretty sick and tired of artist rambling too much during their concerts. The only time that she talked a lot was about this song, Oh Mother that she dedicate to ther mother for standing up against her abusive father for them. I wonder why most successful artist has a pretty dark childhood days. Guess it just shows us that better days will come out way as long as we hang in there.
I am wondering whether to call this a concert or a musical actually. The whole stage was turned into a moulin rouge settin'. Fire, acrobats, stick man. you name it you got it. And of course the pretty singer takes the role of the ring master. So hot!
Just when you taught that things cannot get any more steamy, poles appeared on stage and she was riding on a carousel horse as she belts out Dirty. Now tell me how can you resists screaming yout lungs out for this sexy talented gal. Not cheerin' for her, beware as she can whip the hell out of you like she did in Nasty Naughty Boy to a volunteer from the audience. Sad to say, I was not that lucky guy.
Although everything was pretty great in the concert, my favourtie performance was actually the cutesy Candyman song. I just luv swingin' to the beat as she do her shakin' the booty move. The sailor costume is so adorable. Think I'm gonna be a sailor if all peeps on board dresses like this. Haha.
The next stage settin' was rather simple but I really was mesmerised by the stary stary night setting as she sang Hurt.
Just as the saying goes all good things come to an end. The concert ended not without the anthem Beautiful and Fighter. There was so much energy in that final performance that I can still feel it right now. This gal really deserves the 7 figures sales and the grammy awards. Remember to never let go the chance of catchin this powerful diva in concert!

The First Day of Spring

Yup. It has finally arrived. Temperature was up to 17 degress. Best Sunday every. We do not really have a plan as everybody were busy with midterms and assigments. But being the slack me, I couldn;t be bothered and went out anyway. Hehe.


What else is better than sittin at the outdoor patio enjoying a cup of pretty good coffee with gingerbread cookies! Watchin the huge number of people doin their thing too. It seems like the town has awaken from their hibernation. Hehe. Really luv this yellow bike that i spotted on the street too. Kensington, I luv this place.

Note: The weather did not last long. It snowed heavily the next day. Snowing in spring. Super dioaz.

The Long Absence

Yup I've been gone for quite long. 2 reasons sum it up. Not much interesting activity goin on and been busy with assigments and midterms. Guess the most interesting and fun thingy that happened is another birthday! Its Suzi's this time around.

I really luv the decorations we got for the room. Went scouting for the stuffs with yj the night before. Was such a disaster as we took the wrong train. Haha. My bad. But it was that mistake that lead us to stumble upon the stall with lots of party decorations. I luv the smiley face candles the most.


The karaoke session right after was really fun deeeeee. How i wish my birthday was earlier man den i can celebrate it here! Oh here is a very 'nice' pic. Taken when bx burst the balloon. Aparently everyone was shocked but somehow only the birthday gal's expression was caught on camera. Haha. Happy Birthday, Smile Always!
