简单也是一种幸福………

今天超冷的,摄氏11度. 真不晓得怎么挨过冬天。下午上完课后,天气又冷,肚子又饿,让我想起买火柴的小女孩。哈哈!天气渐渐转凉了,应该是慢慢步入秋天了吧!秋天的童话... 哈哈!今天来点思情画意,用中文来写吧!

上个星期五,我终于吃到韩国拌饭了!!好好吃而且又不贵,大约9 元。最重要的是,我参加了旅行团,将在10 月10日去rocky mountain 旅行.....好期待哟!

上个星期六我们一般人到north vancouver 去走 capilano suspension bridge and climb Grouse Grind.Capilano Bridge 好贵哟!20 dollars per person....更气的是,它的吊桥好普通,没什么特色,也不是很高,钱花得好不值得...= ( 过后我们去Grouse Grind 爬山...Grouse Grind 在海拔4100 米...夏天适合爬山,冬天适合滑雪。好棒哟!我很喜欢爬山,爱接近大自然。站在山上,vancouver 的景色尽收眼底,就发现一切的汗水都是值得的. 爬山让我好想家....


星期日很平淡...早上跟爸妈聊天,然后就敢功课了。不过,下午还不错...去 Metrotown 买了冬衣. 大约花了80dollars. 算是便宜的了,好开心哟!

简单也是一种幸福....好好享受这种简单的生活...= )

Finally it is Saturday -- Travelling day!

Last Saturday, we went to Richmond which is around 2 hours bus ride from SFU. Wow!! That's really far.......

Richmond is a town which is famous of delicious Chinese food, shopping and dining. So, we sure grab the chance to enjoy Chinese Cruisine. After a long discussion, we finally settle down on hot pot!! hurray!!

Yummy!! It's hot pot time = )

We spend our evening in Stevenson Village -- a village which sells fresh fish expecially tuna and salmon. It is like a port or boat house which is surrounded boat cruise. We just walk around, and enjoy sea breeze and sunset. To our surprise, I saw a snowy mountain far away from the port. And , the view is spetacular. The lifestyle here is so carefree and relax.

After that, we heed to the summer night market which held until 4thOctober. Actually , the night market is just like a street in Hong Kong with lots of foods and cheap goods
.
combined pictures of Stevenson Village and Summer Night market...hehe...nice right = )

Weekend is always a perfect day for travelling.

Hurray!! No Lecture tomorrow!

Finally I have time for blogging. Just wondering, I am taking 4 modules this semester, but I am even busier than I was in NUS. No time for TV, no time for slacking....where has my time gone?ha ha!! No idea... Today is a great day= ) Because i have no lesson tomorrow!! Hurray!! Ha ha!! And, most importantly, I'm going to Vancouver Island tomorrow!!


A pink tree with love-hearted leaves. It is so romantic!


I have a good lecture and lab this late afternoon. Finally I understand all the concepts that have been taught after consulting my lecturer and TA. There is a big difference of atmosphere in SFU compare to NUS. No matter either in lecture or lab , students like to ask and answer questions. Thus, you won't feel weird or shy to ask any question. Besides, yesterday, I went to High Frequency lecture whereby the lecturer taught us transmission lines. I believe that all of us have no idea how to apply transmission line in our daily life and have no idea what is it though we studied it in Year 2. What we did last year is note down all formulas in the formula sheet and throw everything in during exam without understanding. However, during the first lecture of the transmission line, the lecturer explained and gave us an example on how important transmission line is in our daily life. Once he mentioned the usage and application of the transmission line in our daily life, I suddenly realised what i have studied and understand all the concept behind which i dun understand last year.

A beautiful mountain scenery from study room = ) Just imagine, you are facing mountains and enjoying the scenery when you are studying...It's wonderful, isn't it? = )

Then, I join a pot luck in my friend's floor for my dinner. I like pot luck. Pot luck is an event which every floor mate will prepare a dish and share with everyone. It is really fun and the guys cook very well. It is really amazing! Besides learning from floor mates how to cook delicious dishes, we can eat different type of food from different country and chat together.

I like SFU. People is friendly and we greet each other when we meet. The weather is just nice and the scenery is really breathtaking.....Yeap, enjoy every minute of my life = ) Looking ahead to Vancouver Island ^^

International Student Boat Cruise = )

Let's flashback to last Friday........

I went for boat cruising in Vancouver!! = ) It was specially organized by SFU International Department for all the International students. It is really a great place to meet friends and socialize with them. Friends from France, Sri Lanka, Philipines, Bei Jing, Iran, Iraq, Norway, India,Burma , Africa, Turkish, Korea.... Undoubtedly, I really enjoyed watching sunset and night view of Vancouver. Standing on the boat, listening to the blowing wind with a free pizza on hand, everything is just so prefect = ) I wish that I have a boat cruise too!!! Life is wonderful! Then, some students started to dance in the middle of the boat. And , guess what! I join the group!!! Ha ha!!! 我豁出去了=.= It is fun! Ha ha!



Do you spot Spiderman in the photo? Toby Maguire is taking a pic with us! Nonono...He is Guillaume, an exchange student from France , who looks alike Toby.


Beautiful scenery took from the boat.

Friday night is simple, but it is memorable.

Live to the fullest

Finally I have the time to write my blog = ) Haha!!

It is raining these two days and thus, the weather is so cold. It is even fogging in the morning and at night. I miss sunlight a lot...Now i can understand why Western people like to sun bathing = ) haha!!

Lectures are starting at a fast pace here. Everyone seems to have background in their area. Undoubtedly, level 4 module is really hard to understand. It is quite scary to be in a class of 18 students with 15 of them are 4th year students.=..=.I dunno how can I survive = (
During every lecture, I am trying my best to meet and talk to a student in each lesson, hope that I can know more about my course so that I can catch up the pace faster = ) Jia you!!

In SFU, from 3rd year onwards, their lab time is free, which means that students can go to the lab anytime they prefer. In addition, the lab opens 24 hours..Omg!!! I dun want to sleep in lab...no...

Beautiful flowers in Connerstone

Time flies....Thursday is a good day for me cos i just have 1 lecture in the morning and 1 lab in the late afternoon. Hurray!! More time to relax and have fun! Right now, my walking pace has slower down. I enjoy watching autumn leaves, enjoy sun shinning on my face while i'm walking... enjoy sitting on the grass while studying. = ) It's just fun!! Everyday is very simple. Wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, go to lecture then come back for dinner and finish tutorial or study...It is simple, but it is fulfilling = ) Study hard and play hard!

Oh yea...and i jog today! Finally I sweat...Feel healthy now, though i caught a flu while i was jogging. = )
Free pizza for lunch today! It's delicious...Yummy ^^

Nice sunset scenery taken by Calvin, an exchange student from HK from his room..

P/S: I din watch drama for 2 weeks !!! Good news = ) haha!!! I reach my target!!( I am a drama addict actually...Zhi Jun should noe very well..hehe..)

Looking forward to my weekends = )

Finally School Starts

第一天的早晨 = )


Today is the first day of the school. Waking up around 7+am, after grabbing a piece of bread and milo, i quickly rush to my first lecture in SFU!!! Haha! What a good day without rainning!

While I was wondering how the lecturer started his lesson, he distributed papers to all of us and ask us to draw a map of Downtown, Vancouver! Omg!!! I just been there for twice and the only thing i remembered is tourist location..Haha!!!After scribble some tourist attraction on the paper, we started our lesson.As usual, with some introduction and course introduction.(Just like I'm back in Year 1 Semester 1 with a lot of unfamiliar people around me....) The only difference is the class is very interactive, not like the lecture that i sat normally whereby students are the one listening and lecturer is the only one speaking. I quite enjoy this lecture because it ended 1 hour earlier than expected..Haha!!

Honestly, I;m quite glad that I just take 4 this semester after lecture. The workload is very heavy. I almost has 2 assignments to pass up each week!! And, there is a lot of minor things in life to take care off. Gambatte!!! Live my life to the fullest! Study hard in weekdays and play in weekends!!!

Happily grab 3 books in library, I feel that I'm so lucky today.(Thanks for my kiasu attitude...haha!!!!)No choice lah, because the books that sold here are sooooo much expensive. Each book is more than 100bucks. Omg!!! I nearly fainted when i visited the book store. Oh, and I even queue for free pancake for my lunch and get some free snacks from the booth....Hurray!!! A lot of free stuff today! = )


Week of Welcome(WOW) : Convocation Mall is crowded with students

The first day is a great day to me with a lot of free snacks and most importantly, I am able to borrow 3 books out of 4 from the library, which definitely save me a lot of $.I'm more and more aunty right now.Wherever there is free food, i'll definitely there! Haha!!

Great mountain view from SFU = )

Farewell Party


It is really touching when i received sms from Zhi Jun saying that we will be having a dinner with me on 30 August(sunday) night. I'm wondering whether anyone of you notice any change in our spiderwoman-- Zhi Jun? She becomes very talkative and starts to know how to 'shoot' people..Haha...Keep on!! And Shu Lin, I like your shirt!! It is nice. You should wear more often = )

However, it is quite sad that 'papa Phea' can't attend in the end. Happy Birthday, Phea!! Hope that it is not too late = )

And, Alex, thanks for your cream puff. My mum likes the rose one and my dad likes the blueberry one. Haha...

Lastly, really thanks everyone for coming down.(sob...sob..).Miss you = )
