I just thought it might have been confusing that all my entries were overdue and loyal readers like you may be a little lost as to where I was the past few days. So just to recap, before I close that first chapter of my exchange life:
25 Aug – Touched down in Vancouver, stayed for the night
26 Aug – Drove and took the BC Ferry to Victoria
27 Aug – Drove northwards to Nanaimo
28 Aug – Drove shortly to Coombs, Qualicum Beach and Parksville (but still bunking in Nanaimo)
29 Aug – Returned to Vancouver
30 to 31 Aug – Vancouver, and departed for Winnipeg
Winnipeg is the capital and largest city in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is located within the prairies of Western Canada, and is filled with lots of flat land and farmlands. John told us that Winnipeg alone has a land area similar to that of Singapore, just that there are only 650,000 people living here as compared to 4 million back home. So Winnipeg is a rather quiet and sparsely populated place, with lots of space and land. Nowhere here is ever high-rise like in Singapore’s, so as I was telling Laura, that it would be so different for her when she arrives.
Anyway, I still can’t imagine somehow that I’m already in Winnipeg. Maybe it’s because back then in Sec 3 Geog lessons, we always looked at climates of different cities in the world, and there was always a “Winnipeg” which I thought sounded interesting cos of its name and its erratic weather, haha. Its climograph looks like this:
And you can see how cold it can really get end of the year. Brrrr. It’s also partly because the winds are really strong, and wind-chill really does worsen it all. Yet despite the cold, Winnipeg is still a place filled with lots of sunshine! So here’s Wini in Winnipeg, finally!

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
