Niagara Falls!

one fine day, Grace and i took a little walk around the neighbourhood. we tried to be macho and wore so little, and it was so windy we retreated back home after not too long. the next day, i thought the day was warm and tried to be macho again when i took a trip to Walmart. geez. mental note to self to never attempt such stunts again.


on Friday, we had the privilege of experiencing a (rare) blackout. the entire campus was down, as well as the most part of the town. needless to say, our residence was hit (the power trips when i switch my heater from '1' to '3' - go figure). but well, we had a bumming session with our basement mate who lives at the other end of the basement, Joetta. i was initiated into the Gossip Girl fan club, promptly watched 6 episodes. (thankfully) i couldn't find episode 7 on Grace's lappie and discontinued.



the entire entourage of exchange people went on a trip to Niagara! the misty one is the Falls on the Canadian side, while the rocky one is that of the US side. why one has mist and the other doesn't, kindly revert to my dear Pea for a professional opinion.


personally, i felt visiting the Falls was kinda anti-climatic. perhaps it was because i didn't go near and hence wasn't hit by the grandeur of it all, or, the area was a tad too commercialized for my liking. still, i've seen the much talked-about Falls, woohoo! and we made a new friend today. hi Stella! (:

here're some pictures. we went up this tower thing and got a panoramic view of the city.




and please indulge me for a bit more.. i'm sick :( thanks Gracie for the yummy hot soup! hope i'll be fine in the morning. popped a few pills, and i'm gonna be off to sleep now.



oh, and for some reason, i couldn't see my tagboard for awhile. and now though i can see it, i can't post on it! maybe my ardent fans can comment instead? ahh it's Sunday. i miss my curry chap cai peng already..

ciao!


ps. to my parents, i took 2 panadol, one orange throat table and one Sudafed okay? no worries (:

pea's professional opinion says, that the water molecules on the canadian side of the fall are planning an assault on the us side of the falls. the mist is just a smoke cover to distract and wow the unsuspecting american side. rocks=stone=stone -.- therefore blur and unsuspecting.
ohhh canada!! your triumph awaits you.
