My childhood, Our childhood

Have I ever told you guys about my childhood??
It was anything but boring.
I had the most wonderful, colorful and unforgettable childhood, ever!
I did crazy, dangerous and stupid things,
and of course, I was never alone.

Growing up as the only daughter in the house and with only one year between us,
it was easy for us get along, and i mean...very well along. We spent every after school day together on the playground or around the neighbourhood with the boys, or sometimes at home talking about our plans to run away together, planning the route and we even had how much money we would need to take with us figured just because we can't stand our grandma kept yapping at us but would forget all about it when it was dinner time. We basically did everything together. EVERYTHING...
All the conspiracies and mischievous things we did, we planned and executed them together.
Although sometimes we would mess things up, but we always learn some new lessons from the screw ups,like the one time we almost blew up my uncle's workshop, NEVER play with fire near anything that contents petrol or fuel. After the incident I almost turned all her hair into burned curls, we never set any cotton balls on fire ever again! Among others, these are the two bearable examples that were OK to be posted in public. Others....you don't want to know and we wouldn't want to tell anyone about them as well and we have an unspoken oath to never betray each other to our family.
Therefore,naturally, we also shared the spanking part together.
Still, as kids, we used to fight once in a while too and for that, I still owe her a tooth that was never been found.


Now, we don't get to spend so much time together anymore,but we always manage to have a good laugh whenever we're together.
Its always nice to have someone who understand and laugh at your stupid jokes or crack at just one look from each other.
She was my saviour during the time when she was in INTI and I'm here, coffee, food, movies, gossip etc.
She's couple hundred thousand miles away in Adelaide now, and I miss her alot.
Even though we're cousins, she feels more like a sister to me and I have and I will always love her as a sister.
My childhood was memorable because of her.


We always joke about how we should write a book about our childhood stories together.
Hmmm...maybe we should really do that eh? Maybe...just maybe...

Correction

Ooppss...a bit correction on the post before.
It was Christina's idea to do the face print, not me.
hehehee...I wonder what that means...??
hmmmm...

Sayang, please do another one next winter??

Work so far

3rd week into working at the International Office,
you won't believe how much office politics there are in this one tiny office!
Everyday you'll hear people talk gossip and hear some spread rumors, sometimes you'll even get involve in a few without having any clue where did it came from.
The never stopping office politics make my working life in IO both interesting and annoying at the same time. I'm trying hard to keep my nose clean but its proven quite impossible to do so. LOL!
Other than that, I kept my busy enough to show people im actually doing some work.
The last 2 weeks the whole office was buzzed with the Uvic tropical field school,
and the incident where one of our staffs had a minor stroke right before they arrived made all hell broke free but fortunately everything is going pretty smoothly so far and Uvics are fun!

Took them around Penang quite a bit and they've seen pretty much everything there are to be seen and I'm very happy that the tours were very successful and they had a great time, I had a grand time! Especially the Batu Feringghi night market part, although it rainned quite a bit but I had good company. I was impressed how good she was at bargainning, come to think of it, she was actually better at it than I am!! geess...


They're heading to Lenggong tomorrow and Redang a few days later where they'll get to see Orang Utan and move some turtle eggs!!! hmmm...now i wish i'm a bio student (hahaha...like i can ever be one~)just so that I can go on this trip as well. oh well...

So that's how work sounds like for now.

A crazy way to celebrate snow!

That day I was walking down the memory lane of snowy UBC just for the fun of it and I realise I just have put this up.
I have to. It was one of the stupidest, most spontaneous thing I'd ever done, (of course, that also include fixing up a snowman at 1 something in the morning).
The best part is...someone actually did it with me!
LOL...

We were almost home from our little late evening trip to the main hall after a heavy snow, and we saw this wooden bbq table covered so ever nice with snow, untouched...
The idea came out of nowhere and i said :"Hey, let's do a face print on the snow!" (Since we'd just did butt prints on the wooden chair infront of the Scarfe education building.
Since Joyce refused to do it and rather to record it down, so went the other two crazy chicks to do their crazy stunt.

If you look carefully, you can really see the print of eyes and noses in the video. Seriously!!
Don't try this at home or outside your home,at least not on a -5 celcius night. I could barely feel my face after that.
Still, it was tons of fun!!!!

Oh...I miss the snow and the cold minus the extremely utterly annoying and disgusting wet feet.
