There are so many people to thank for helping me keep my sanity intact through these trying college years. Don’t know if you all think this is too sappy of me though. Haha. Bear with me, for this is probably the first and the last. First and foremost, I would like to extend my eternal [...]

Deutsch. Help.
February 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Campus Life, Fudan, Language, Ramblings, UBC
Back at UBC I was learning Beginners’ German from a German PhD student whose lessons were quite fun and engaging. Even though he was unsure of certain grammatic rules, we always forgave him because beads of perspiration would form on his head even in the midst of winter. Our German textbook introduces grammar step by [...]

Goodbye Land of Maple
December 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Campus Life, Canada, Ramblings, UBC
Going…Going…Gone. I haven’t had time to sit down to reflect, but what I know now for sure is that the past 4 months has been nothing short of pleasant, fun, and wonderful. Much thanks to my housemates for giving me insight into Canadian culture and helping me with all my needs, and all other friends [...]

The Last 10 Days
December 7th, 2007 · No Comments · Cameras. Pictures., Campus Life, Canada, UBC
At UBC, in Vancouver, in Canada. The final 10 days (till my next visit, of course!). Slowly, I’m trying to cut the strings of attachments. I’ll always revisit the memories created in this lovely liveable place, and with its people I befriended so easily (you must know how anti-social I was/am in Fudan). It remains [...]

Hey I submitted my photos to UBC’s Go Global Photo Contest just in time before the deadline. Nothing fantastic, just wanted to try out for fun. Nevertheless………. VOTE FOR ME! Sorry, I couldn’t put it any other way without sounding 不要脸. Haha.

The day I was stuck in an elevator
November 20th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Campus Life, UBC
I recall being forced to write compositions on accounts of being trapped in a lift back in Primary School. Be it a continuation story, a story based on pictures, or just a set-titled composition, we’ve all written about it during those front-teethless years, even if we’ve never had that experience. For 22 years in my [...]

The year my birthday lasted 40 hours
November 9th, 2007 · No Comments · Campus Life, Food, Housing, UBC
Add 24 hours with 16 hours time difference from your home country, and you get 40 hours on your birthday! That’s if you count your birthday starting from midnight of the day according to your birth country, and then only ending after midnight of the country you’re in! Haha I had a very healthy birthday [...]

Blackout @ UBC
November 7th, 2007 · No Comments · Campus Life, UBC
There was a blackout in the entire campus yesterday around 1pm, for about 15-20 minutes. I was in one of the classrooms at Buchanan and we just pulled up the blinds and continued writing our assignments. I heard that other classes ended immediately ‘coz of the blackout. Bleh. Then in the evening at about 7.30ish [...]

Squareface is snowed in
November 6th, 2007 · No Comments · Campus Life, UBC
No it’s not that cold in Vancouver, well, not yet at least. My schedule book has so much orange ink scrawled all over for the next couple of weeks, depicting all the deadlines for the many assignments and term papers. Arrgh! I won’t be able to delight you with pictures of this or that mountain, [...]

Our sojourns aren’t all that rosy
November 2nd, 2007 · 1 Comment · Campus Life, Canada, Ramblings, UBC
My dear friend Winnie commented that Reina and I, who are on exchange in Norway and Canada respectively, only blog about “nothing but fun and more fun”, and that the only time we talk about school and books is when we boast (my word, not hers) about skipping classes (I think this was directed to [...]
