my favourite*7 junior 1:43 PMSo my dearest junior was sooo nice to visit me in Canada during the American Thanksgiving weekend! Or maybe she only wanted to take advantage of free accommodation while seeing new places la, tskkk.. haha. But it was just so unbelievable that she'd chosen to visit Winnipeg for her first time to Canada! (P/S: People don't visit Winnipeg because it's an amazing city you know, haha.)
But I must say I was stressed over planning a "travel itinerary" for Nic, though it all turned out well in the end. I guess it was really the spending time together and catching up that made her 3D2N stay (actually more of 2D2N cos of the very early departure) most memorable for us. And at least I brought Nic to the food places she'd specifically requested to go, Baked Expectations at Osborne Village and The Original Pancake House! Oh and not to forget shopping at the country-style Forks Market like amateur aunties..! Haha :)
Nic mentioned she'd never imagined going to a place colder (or worse, windier) than Ann Arbor, even though she was already in her puffy Michelin-marshmallow-ed jacket, heh. Made me very proud of the fact that I'm probably one of the.. hmm, 2% of Singaporeans who can ever imagine or experience -30 degC in their entire lifetimes? Haha.. even -10 sounds scary to frequent winter vacationers back home!
After a very anti-climax hug at the AVM lobby and nua-ing on my nice luxurious 5-star hotel bed. Haha.
Desart Shop and Happy Cooker, with all sorts of cute funky lil' things like ABC Cookies - Already Been Chewed!
Cup Cakery! Super yums, look at the gigantic cupcake (which weighs 2.5kg or something)..
Happily auntie-ing away.. woots!
I must say it's really exciting to meet a friend (a close friend somemore whom I care alot about) in a different part of the world halfway across the globe. I know this sounds silly, but Nic, it was really nice having an old friend trudge in the Winnipeg snow/slush with me, heh.
And I'm sure you also enjoyed your first legal-drinking experience in North America ya? Thanks too for instigating me to use the fake bus transfer (the validity timing on our tickets'd expired but we hun4-ed through all the same), and the facebook snooping (rem how we jian4 gui3 when we scrolled through his pics?), and just spending quality time with me talking about anything/everything from our lives to the good ol' days in the dojo. It's just heartwarming indeed to also converse in our typical HC-style Singlish/Chinese and reminiscing over everything, including imitating auntie Pheywa's actions, hahaha.
Baked Expectations sinful dessert indulgence, and atop The Forks' observation tower
Spot me waving to dear Santa! :D
Candy-created snow sleighs and snowman tealight candles at the Forks Market
Earl's - Nic's first legal-drinking experience in North America, haha
I'm glad I sent Nic off at the airport in the wee hours too, had a good quiet time sipping Tim's coffee and looking up tourist guides, to facilitate planning my post-exam schedule while waiting for JS to finish his papers. :) I love you my dearest junior, see you next summer in sunny Singapore! (P/S: I'll also start a countdown like him k? Haha.)

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.
