Its Subject Registration Day today and I felt much better today after aching from all the falls while learning to snowboard at Whistler. The Whistler Trip is indeed fun and enjoyable just that I felt it was a little bit short, wouldn't mind it if it was a few nites longer, then at least perhaps I would have tried snowboarding from the top of the mountain down all the way! Snowboarding is much more fun than skiing and I guess I will be coming down to Whistler every year from now on just to snowboard! All in all, this year's winter havent been as harsh as previous years and there's been no snow yet at Vancouver so we might not have a White Xmas after all (keeping our fingers crossed eh?) But I have been enjoying my stay too much here that it feels odd when I am counting off the days till I return to Singapore. Too much things that I have enjoyed so far here, like eating Alaskan King Crab, some of the best Japanese and Chinese food, and enjoying fine icewine, all these makes me miss this place. No matter, I would be returning here within a year's time (definitely!!!) and I just need to prepare myself for subject registration at 10pm here in Vancouver!!

Monday, December 13, 2004
Its been nearly a month since I arrived in Vancouver. Having a good time here, since my family is also here and the house seems lively when I am staying at my aunt's house. Though its already winter, it just snowed once here and the snow was like only so little that the ground stayed the same colour. However I will be looking at lots of snow when I get to Whistler on the 17th of December for the ski trip. It will be so nice to get to Whistler, since a total of 13 people are going and we will be driving there.
Did a lot of stuffs in Vancouver, like going to Stanley Park for a morning walk, then nearly every morning we walked around the neighbourhood, even though the weather was like 5-6 degrees celcius. But it definitely warms up your body when you reach home. Also got to watch movies here with my cousins, and we went to watch Blade 3 yesterday and National Treasure last 2 weeks. Had nice food to eat everyday here since there were lots of Salmon and even Chinese/Japanese food. There's even this city called Richmond where the Asian populace outnumbers the Caucasians. I always liked living in Vancouver and even on my 3rd visit I still find it a beautiful city, guess thats why Blade 3 was shot and produced in Vancouver.
Since my bro and sis are studying in Vancouver now, I guess I will be heading to this city every year for my vacation and I am looking to annual ski trips to Whistler as well, or at least to nearby Mt Cypress.
