[Cell Phone pictures]

I can't seem to connect to my mom's computer through blue tooth so I had to pull out the good ol' USB cable. I found many pictures in my cell that have been sitting in there since Winter. Decided to put them up

Here's Bno up on Cypress. I forget which run we were on but him and Aman were trying to do flips and such. Trying to hurt themselves in other words.

And here's me, loving me in goggles

Here's (left) James with his goofy little smile and (right) Kirsten in her UBER BRIGHT PINK PANTS! We were down at the beach soaking up some rays.

And here are the kiddies (and their parents) on the train that goes around Metrotown mall.

Choreographing sword fight. I didn't get pictures of this on the better camera coz I ran out of battery. But this one isn't too bad.

Recording ADR for our informercial.

[Drumming 101 with Fred]

Fred's this uber tall korean guy who graduated with us last year. I only started being friends with him near graduation when I was finishing up my grad video (he appears in parts of my grad video and also at the end with his "hey I'm back" line). Everytime I see him on the bus, he will scream my name and give me a hug. He'll do the same for Brandon. Lol He's a funny one.

Well he's selling his drum set and Bno's thinking of getting them for his brothers. Drumming's probably one of the tougher things to learn. Or it's just me. No hand.. left hand.. right hand... left foot.. right foot... coordination? Or lack there of.. since all parts sort of have to play on their own but at the same time in sync.

Fred gave Brandon a super duper quick lesson on drumming which was pretty interesting. He knows his stuff. It'd be so great if I knew how to drum.. and play the guitar.. and all them crazy instruments. But yea.. I'll just stick to photography and videography.. and drawing.

[Satay Garden]

Yeah this picture's kinda weird. From the inside, the words should be flipped. That's coz I took the picture from inside and flipped it on photoshop. Just coz I was too lazy to go to the other side of the restaurant to take the picture.

Bno, Diane and I decided to check out the new Malaysian restaurant in the village; Satay Garden. It opened yesterday. It looks really pretty on the outside. And it's uber bright inside. Lol Diane said she didn't like their chairs. They were really green.

I just tried their curry puff. Pretty good. =) Bno ordered their "Pork Rib Soup" which is actually "Bah-Kut-Teh". He also got a plate of Satay, rice and the whole deal. Rice, egg, peanuts, cucumber, peanut sauce. The lady decided she'd give us 2 extra chicken satays since there were 3 of us.

Ordering was very very awkward. You can tell they're first time restaurant owners. And I assume they're malaysian coz it's definitely different from being in a Vietnamese place or chinese place. They have a very small menu. It's got 4-5 items on it along with some drinks and desserts. But what I realized is they change their menu everyday. Which is pretty cool. So that way there are basically specials every day to start with and maybe when business picks up they'll have a full menu.

So yea, while you guys are in Ipoh eating your real malaysian food, I'm having my share of the "Canadianized" version of it.

[What kind of bow can't you tie?]

A Rainbow~!

I went for dinner with Uncle SH, Aunty Wendy and family tonight. We went for Pho at Noodle Island. =)

Da-Yong asked me a riddle: "What kind of bow can't you tie!?"

While I was waiting for them to pick me up outside Wal-Mart, there was a Biiiiiig one up in the sky. =)

[More sports]

As we all know by now, Brandon loves soccer. And he's been trying to get me to play it for a long time. The other day he decided I should get a soccer ball. We were at Sport Chek and found one that was pretty. Then we came across this one. Nike with old school stitching and in a unique colour. I love it! It's a choco-ball with white and gold stripes. Whether I'll be a crazy soccer player like him or even play that much, we'll see!! Tomorrow he wants to get me cleats. =S! Once I have them, I'm gonna have to play!!!

[Colour Theory]

In colour theory now. We're just playing around with Photoshop. It's pretty cool. Here's a couple of things I've done in the past hour. On the left: Original On the right: My colour correction. It's really basic. Just playing around with colour replacement and making the image look good or stylized.

[New hobby]

Brandon bought me a new racket. Douglas works at Sport Chek and so he got me a nice racket at a good price. =}. I like it.

It's pink!!! Like my cammy. Yea I know it's not my usual colour. But it's nice.

When I hit the ball with it, I was like DUDE! This is magical. The ball goes back SO nicely.

I'm finally starting Quarter #4 tomorrow. Colour theory all day. Jmerz excited.

[The "Norm"]

It seems that everyone's lives are basically the same. We eat, we work, we play, we sleep. I blog about what I do for fun, what I study and what I eat.

Keep telling myself it's time to make something new. I've been cooking so much that I don't really have an appetite to eat the food I make. I made Honey Dew Sago because Bno really likes it. His favourite fruit is honey dew too! I made Curry Puffs again because Bno really loves that too. Was afraid that the crust was too dry coz I added tons of flour and was all crumbly when I tried to wrap them. But they turned out really good. It melts in your mouth! Hawwwwwgh~~~

Today I made a BLT wrap coz we've been making them at the cafe and it's sooooo good. And much healthier than curry puffs.

Brandon and I made poutine for lunch. =) He chopped up the potatoes and fried them. I cubed the cheese and made the gravy. So bad. But sooooo good. At least the fries were made by us!!!

Well until next time. I think next up it's gonna be Chili and Bread bowls. =)

[If you can't be friendly, stay home]

Gasp! I haven't been posting! ......Gasp!!

So.. what's been happening over here in Vancouver. Well.. Canada day kinda just came and went. Didn't really do anything spectacular. I worked the day before which was pretty fun I suppose. Been chilling with the Bno. We made curry puffs and honey dew sago. Surprise surprise. =) I thought my crust was gonna be bad coz for some reason it wouldn't fold properly and was crumbly. But when they came out of the oven.. o em jee, just melts in my mouth. So good.

We were originally gonna go down to Granville to check out this photo store, Beau Photo coz I wanted to get my Supersampler. But it was uber hot and we missed 2 buses because they were full. We decided it wasn't worth it since it was already 2.

This is me. Lost

"If you can't be friendly, stay home"

So today I decided to get my camera. I'm getting pretty good at this transit and directions thing. Wonder if I'll be any good driving. Google earth!!!! So yea. I bussed and trained. And bussed.. then found out I missed my stop and was on my way to UBC so I had to get off and go back the other way. There are SO many things out there. Ever since we came to Vancouver, we decided that it's a very pretty country. We love the weather and basically it's quiet. I guess it can be pretty quiet around where we live. Especially in the Winter. But there's actually SO much going on. There are so many shop out there. So many things to see. So many interesting people on the train. One lady kept talking about her experience in the army.. or military.. or some sort of rehabilitation centre. I'm not even sure. It sounded like she was all into the drugs and smoking and drinking when she was younger then she found help and became a police officer of some sort. She talked about how we're all in this together. All that stuff. I basically had a motivational talk on the ride from Surrey to Broadway.

Foundz it!

So yea. I got lost. But I found the place eventually! I'm glad I checked out their website to see what it actually looks like from outside. Or else I probably would never have found it. It's on West 6 Avenue. I found West 10, West 5 and took a bus and found West 7. Then I realized.. it was in between! I don't know how I missed Granville. And I don't know how I missed West 6. But yea, I found it eventually. It's such a strange little shop. It kinda looks like an office on the inside. There are people in their little.. areas typing away on their puters. I found the Lomo section and GAHH, excitedness!!!!! So many pretty cameras around!! Jmerz happy. They're a lot smaller than I thought they were. It's perfect though coz that's what I wanted. I just thought they were bigger. They look big in pictures I guess. Hehehe. So I got my camera which made me happy.

New baby. That's where my carbon tax money went. Jk jk!! I'll do something to help the environment! I AM growing plants now!!

Our old/new bowling crew

Also today, (Wednesday) bowling again! Wednesday has become our bowling day. It's all you can bowl, as many people as you want for 20$, shoe rentals included, for 3 hours. Which is pretty good. We manage to get quite a few games in there. My high score for today was 120. Brandon's was 177.
