The Flower Craze

Final day of the reading week trip. Couldn't believe that this is coming to an end. Today is actually a pretty impromptu day. We never really plan. Went to the conservatory. The walk there was a torture. Snow was so deep that i reaches my knees! The consevartory has very unique shapes. 4 different pyramids for 4 different themes. I like the floral one the best. Really luv the colours. Makes me feel like spring is here. Never try to cauliflower soup here though it taste like salt.


The parliament building turns out to be extremely good. Initially I was so worried that the free tour would be boring. Its exclusive to the 4 of us too. Cool. We learnt a lot about the building. It was the first building to have eletricity. The crazy architect actually put 638 bulbs in the legislature room. Indulgence. Haha. What impressed me most is the potrait of queen Mary. It was painted in a one point view. Her eyes follows you wherever you move. Freaky! We were told that the potrait of King George is even better as his knees moves too. But it was taken down for repair. What a waste.


Well thats a brief summary of the very great trip that I had over the week. So thankful for the great companion and experiences. Let's do a betta one for the end of term trip guys!

The Rockin' Good Time

Visited the other university that I almost went to for exchange today. Yup I was offered either UofC or UofA. The Alberta campus here is much larger than the one in Calgary. Buildings are also much beautiful. The most important thing is they have much more stalls that sells food at a cheaper price! The student accomodation situated at the Hub is pretty cool too. Its right above the shops downstairs. No need to walk outside in the cold to get food. Despite all these i still luv UofC more cos of the great friends i met here. Hehe.


The evening was the highlight of the Edmonton trip. Rascal Flatts concert! Despite the long wait for them to start, I had a freakin' good time there. The seat that I got was pretty close. And the best thing is they keep coming to my side of the stage. Hehe. These guys are really good. I enjoyed most when they performed 'life is a highway' with the legendary Don Henley. Dats really a double bonus man. I need another country concert! Still feelin' so high from the experience. Now who sae u can't get high without a booz.

The Biggest Mall Ever

Wooohoooooo. Finally get to shop like mad. Shop shop shop till you drop. Abercrombie, Holister, Zara, Urban Outiftters, Adidas. Yes I bought stuffs form all of them! Pocket empty already. Haha. The West Edmonton Mall is really good. Not only it has shoppin places, but also amusement parks and waterpark. The amusement park is kinda mall. Can never compare to those in Orlando. We still had a great time there though. Remember to look cool in front of cameras no matter how scared u are if not ........lo0k at the pic below.

The waterpark is certainly not a place to be missed. The wavepool, slides and even just sittin' down at the bench watcihn' the sunset is just as great!

Finally here are some random pics in how the mall looks like. The cinema in the mall is pretty cool too. They have this dinasours that spits fire every hour. Impressive!
