This huge dinosaur is actually right outside my LT. And it looks at you when you come out. Jolts me right out of my stupor heh.

With Dong Rong and Dewi before leaving for my class.

"Marilyn Monroe" complete with the husky voice and the signature dress (and hair)

Umm. Sorry, I forgot his name. But he's the founder of RIM, the company that produces Blackberries. He's a UW alumnus!

The Residence Dons' performance. Twas very nice! Fashion from the 50s to the 90s.

Dongrong, Dewi and I went to UW's 50th Birthday party today. There was free food! :P That's the gigantic pizza slice I got. There's another un-blur picture, but I look mottai in that so this is better :D

Waterloo Park - it's like the trees are kinda like the horizon. Beautiful untouched expanse of white crystals.

Big bald tree in snow.

ME :) This was taken in Waterloo Park! I've really got to stop obsessing over snow :P

Me attempting to make a snowball with one hand :D

CAN YOU SEE THE SNOWFLAKE!!!! :D :D :D :D :D Zoom in to see clearly!

Another scenery shot! This is the Graduate House. One of the nicest cottage-ish buildings here!

Nice scenery shot. For all you i-want-scenery-why-is-archana-in-photo types of people hmph.

I really like the one of Hailin. It's so natural! And the snow looks awesome. Taken outside our house too.

On our way back from HRM200 (Human Resources Management). It was supposed to end at 10pm but ended at 8 itself! YAY. And the lecturer was very nice :) I'm really looking forward to this course. Anyway, it was snowing wonderfully and without much wind so we could take off our gloves for a while to take pics. This was taken by Hailin right outside our house. It's a lil out of focus though, but look at the falling snow! :D :D

Our backyard with muchhh more snow! Like a nice thick layer of lovely whiiiite snow! And check out the sunlight! An excuse to wear my shades coz of the sun AND to prevent snow from entering my eyes!

AAAAH so much snow! Freshly shovelled :) I really felt like making a snowball! But who to throw at heh.
There! Snow! It was snowing the whole of last night so it looked sooo beautiful this morning. This was when the snow had stopped for a short while. It's been snowing sporadically.

Our backyard. It looked pristine after the snowfall. This photo doesn't do justice to it though. And I didn't have enough time to experiment with the camera coz I was running late for class! So maybe I'll get Hailin's. The roads looked amazing with a sheen of snow. Wow :)

I guess winter has officially started then! Just look at all the snow!!! :O :D Luckily I'm kinda getting used to the chill so it wasn't as cold as I'd expected! Must start wearing thermals and sweaters though. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!

Dewi and me outside Sobey's, the supermarket at CLV.

I'm overreacting. There wasn't all that much snow, but still SNOWWW!! FIRST TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE WOOOOHOOOO!

Can you see the flurry?

SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the CLV townhouses. This was the on-campus accomodation offered to exchange students. Unfortunately it's realllllyyyy far! About 30 minutes away from proper campus!

At Columbia Lake again, from a different angle! We were on our way to the Columbia Lake Village Townhouses.

Me and Yanjun in Wal-Mart in Fairview Mall! In Kitchener.

OMG :O Multi-storeyed building in Canada!

Outside every big shopping mall kinda thing, they have a list of the major shops inside. It's good when you're going in the bus and suddenly realise you need to stop!

Inside a GRT bus. There's cord running above all the windows of the bus which end up at the stop bell. So you can stop the bus from anywhere!

No idea what I was doing. When I was in the middle of my photo taking session.

That's a bus stand with a bus! Sorry, I'm obsessed with public buses :P

This is a GRT bus terminus!

On the way to Kitchener. Taken from the bus.

Hailin, Suan Tin, me, Yanjun, Dong Rong and Dewi all at our place! Watching Friends. And having a jointly cooked dinner!

A very rare sight! The girls from across the street (kinda) came over to cook. We had pasta! I'm not actually doing anything. Just stirring the stuff. hehe. But I'm actually standing in the kitchen, by the gas!! :O

This one tree just stood out so I HAD to take it!

At Columbia Lake! It's beautiful out there. Hundreds of geese here too.

It was nice to see some red amongst all the the green and brown.

Anddd guess what I had to go step on. Hmph.

With more geese.

On the verge of getting lost! Luckily we had our trusty map.

Nothing significant about this place. Just a very scenic bridge!

Under a huge pine tree! One of the few evergreens on campus.

This is the Rock Garden right in the middle of campus. Photo turned out a lil dark but you can still see some of the rocks.

Suan Tin and I went on a photo-taking spree around the campus. We exchanged cameras and just clicked like mad. This is me hanging around.
