Snow Day #2

For those of you that don't live in Canada, you probably think that up here in the north we live in igloos and stuff. Well, after another snow storm yesterday that may seem to be true. Here's a picture I took when I woke up this morning. It's was so bright outside from the reflection of the snow that it distorted the color on my camera.



I thought it'd be safe to go outside after the snow had been removed from most major streets, but I already had trouble getting out my driveway. The snow removal had come by my sidewalk and created a wall of snow which put a barrier around my car. I was too busy shoveling the snow to free my car I forgot to take a picture, but you can see from my neighbor's house that his driveway was blocked too.

Anyway, on with my journey. After lunch we stopped by my friend Jing's house to pick up some stuff, and DAMN I thought I had a lot of snow on my street. This was the snow he had shoveled on this driveway.



I should have stood beside it to see a comparison of how high it was. Here's a picture of his van beside the snow and they were almost the same height.


My driveway is still covered in snow. I was hoping it'll melt on it's own so I won't have to shovel, but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon :(

Lunch at Franz

For the past 2 Tuesdays we've been having lunch at the University pub cause Tuesdays are $2 beers and Burger & Fries combo is half price $3.99! But having too much of a good thing can be bad. So today we decided to eat at our local diner Franz! YAY!

Every time we go there we always get the usual All Day Breakfast with 2 eggs, bacon, toast and homefries. Mmm...homefries. But today will be different! We're gonna try something new, something more exciting, something like...ENERGY BREAKFAST! At first everyone was undecided on what to get, but then Julian pointed out this Energy Breakfast. It consists of 3 scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, croissant and homefries. (Homefries is KEY. Remember that)

So once again we all ended up ordering the same meal as everyone else. Except for Tuan and Amanda, who both ordered Sheppard's Pie! Coincidence? I think not.


OH SNAPPLES! too much ketchup Julian.


Here's mine. It was actually really good.


Ryan and Julian.


Tuan and Amanda with their Pie. The rice Tuan ordered was really bad. It stayed the same shape even if you press it down, it just rises up again. So scare.

Snow Day Aftermath

Well, so much for our snow day. Most of the snow have already melted away because it was like +EIGHT DEGREES today!! It seriously felt like spring was here. I got to wear my T-shirt, was sweating underneath my winter jacket, and it definitely smelled like spring (more like the smell of my sweat =S).

Anyway, my good friend Julian sent me these pictures of his snow day experience. It definitely beats my roof top picture. It's like watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of The Ooze when Shredder turned into Super Shredder! (scroll down to see what I mean)

We have here sweet innocent fluffy snow.


And then OH MY GOODNESS!



It's SUPER SHREDDER!


Thanks for the photos Julian! They're awesome.

GIANTS WIN SUPER BOWL!

Giants win Super Bowl XLII!! What a game! Patriots lose the most important game of the season and what could've been the perfect season of being undefeated!

RAMBO IS BACK!

I thought this was pretty funny, especially the statistic with his shirt on or off. I think he's competing with Jack Bauer for style points.

These stats kinda spoiled the other movies for me though. Before discovering this, I decided to go back and watch the other ones after watching part IV starting with First Blood, and I stopped right after the first guy died! Does this mean I should stop now and continue with part II =S

Snow on roof top

Last night before heading out to a friend's birthday party I noticed a huge chunk of snow on top of my door way. It looked pretty cool so I took a picture of it :) I seriously need a better camera.

SNOW DAY!

There were reports yesterday saying there'd be a snow storm this morning so I decided to stay home. I haven't looked outside till now because I just woke up :( and it's 2:30pm. I didn't hear any wind or and sounds of snow hitting my windows, so I thought maybe it wasn't so bad. I opened the door to my room, looked outside, and OMG...I couldn't see anything! My windows were fogged up and all I could see was a white blur! So I quickly took out my phone and took some pics. This wasn't the worst snow I've seen, but I still have to shovel it! :( My back hurts just thinking about it.





The snow was all the way up my steps.


*UPDATE*

I just checked my e-mail and I'm sooo glad I didn't go to school today.
"Due to the severe winter storm, ******* University will close as of 12 noon, Friday, February 1, 2008. All day and evening classes and on-campus activities are cancelled"
