A BEAUTIFUL photo of our fireplace-fire. Just looking at it makes me feel warm. (Thanks Hailin for the pic!)

Dinner at East Side Marios with the peeps from NUS! And Audrey who was in Singapore till JC and is doing her undergrad in UW. Clockwise - me, Kevin, Yangli, Dong Rong, Hailin, Dewi and Audrey. Dinner was great and wonderfully cheesy. The pasta was even called "Lotsa Cheese *something*". Had lots of fun :)

Hailin, Zyania and me on GRT bus 12. After awesome retail therapy at Dollarama and Food Basics. I LOVE those shops! And so do the other two! Look at our glee! :D

Eating Persian food at Shandiz Restaurant. Didn't like it at all :S And Hailin said she didn't like it either, so it's not just the vegetarian thing. Anyway that's why I'm fake-smiling.

Pallavi and me in her room :) One of our better, less loony photos heh.

Birthday boy Prashant with his tiny lil piece of cake. I can't believe you didn't devour the whole cake man! (in fact I got most of it. Me and my housemates thank you all very much for the DELICIOUS cake!)

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY PRASHANT! (One day in advance) The cake was AMAZING.

I made Appa stand/sit with the snow for proof that he came in Winter! But his shoes must have gotten soaked though (sorry! :P)

The two Dads walking seriously

We ended up watching the WI vs India cricket match (which India won WOOOT! :D)

Again while watching the movie - me, Appa and Hari Uncle

Pallavi, me and Appa being lame while watching Lage Raho Munnabhai

Appa in Ultra Supermarket

My most perfect snowball so far!

Me and Appa at Lake Ontario. It was already dark so you can't really see the lake. And the crazy sign behind us reflected all the light so we look extra dark! But anyway, this was taken next to the huge lake.

Donald (our landlord), Appa and Hari Uncle in our living room in Waterloo.

Hari Uncle and Appa video-conferencing with Amma in Singapore, from my room in Waterloo! Sometimes, technology can be such a boon! :) :)

Warming up my hands. The fire was awesome. (Yes, it's really weird that I love the cold so much, and also the warmth!)

Full-fledged fire! :D :D :D

Our landlord finally lighting our FIREPLACE! :D

"Home-Cooked" food!

hehe Snowface consisting of rice, baby carrots, and capsicum and onion from our sambhar :D

Meee fooling around (as usual! :D)

Namratha chamathly studying (as usual :P)

Teeheehee. Frenchie poseur :P Comment Allez-vous? (How do you do?) That's pretty much all I remember heh.

With Pallu, with whom I discovered my Shopaholic-ism :P

With Chen Chen at Maple (View?) Mall

Snowed in Burlington for the first time! I guess Winter has REALLY started now. The houses looked picture perfect from the window. Unfortunately I couldn't quite get the effect.

Me (wearing Salwar Khameez for the first time since I came to Canada), Pallavi and Chen Chen

Pallavi's dance

Shailu Aunty, Prashant and Hari Uncle at the show! Such a nice pic :)

Pallavi and Chen Chen before Pallu's dance performance for Sankranthi.

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.
