your birthday!

It was kinda sweet, small birthday celebration. Me, ter, amy + ter's bro (bernard). Went to a nice italian restaurant, had wine. had a craving for the wonderful black sesame ice-cream so i coerced everyone to go there for dessert. ^_^ *YUM*

YUUUMMMMM.. sesame ice-cream imported from Vancouver... *HEAVEN

A nice cake by his parents, his bro + gf + us
PS: that wonderful looking strawberry pie is made by HIS DAD

I love the lighting..

this is the reason why i should get a cat

A moment of weakness

Uninvited tears rolled
watching you leave
Continuing your road
Till we again meet
our memories kept

OTTAWA vs MONTREAL

When you are facing a huge load of thesis potential material to be written, coupled with awful music, too-cool weather for september, a sun that iznt doing its job, a boring window scene, 1000 of thoughts invade you unwillingly.

1) JOBS - never thought this day is gona come so soon. facing a potential phD vs work, i am actually choosing to work. guess i am tired of being institutionalized. Maybe in a few yrs. MBA sounds nicer thou...

2) BÉBÉ - Gona miss him when i return to montreal tomoro. I have tons of job infor sessions, CV letters to send, cover letters to vet.. Itz ok, he coming on friday.

3) THESIS WOES - how am i gona put all these results together. At least, it has started taking shape.

4) HOME SICKNESS - never thought i would feel this way. Well, temptation to return to comfort zone. Muz be patient... in a few yrs... ^_^ we will be riding high, taking Singapore by storm right, bébé?
