Turbulence On A Plane

Yeap. Turbulence. Not snakes. Turbulence. Terrifying 30 second turbulence.

Getting lifted off my seat twice 30000 feet above ground on a plane and wondering whether the plane would make it to Toronto in one piece? Definitely a 'What I Did For Summer' essay topic. Unfortunately I won't be taking any English when the Fall term begins (on the 7th next month, I think).

I'm now in very eastern Canada, living in Saint John, New Brunswick. It's a very nice town, with very nice places to go, and very nice people. And the houses here are very nice to look at, too but sometimes I get freaked out.

We're at the end of summer right now and the climate is very comfortable and quite tolerable for a new Asian kid like me. Getting up to a 17 is nice. Walking around in the afternoon with a 23 is nice too. And going to bed comfortably in an un-air-conditioned room while the outside drops to 7 is definitely nice. I don't know if I'm prepared for winter though. People around here say normal winter temperatures drop to -10 to -20. The worst this town has ever had to face...was -40. I'm...doomed.

Things here are expensive. So if you want me to get you something, you might just want to forget about it cause with the allowance I'll be getting, I don't think I'll be forking out any under 'Gifts4Friends' any time soon. But...hope for the best! There are a lot of bargain stores around here.

Broadband here is blazingly fast and affordable. I downloaded 800MB in 20 minutes a few days ago. I'm not lying. So, I gleefully point and laugh at those with the so called e-speed to e-speed2 upgrade. Blah. But you can point and laugh at me cause I won't be owning a fancy iPod Video, flashy Sony Ericsson W810, or a sleek Tag Heuer watch anytime ever. But I did get a sexy Creative Zen Neeon from Joel, Ron, Tek and Ben!

The food here is yumyum. I agree with Chester. Vegetarians don't know what they're missing! I've only been here a week and already I've tasted food my taste buds would never have imagined tasting. Lobster, pork ribs and grilled chicken breast? I'm going to get fat, and happy. But I'm going to work out and make someone else happy.

But still, I miss Brunei a lot and I miss the people I left behind without saying proper goodbyes. My last days here... I haven't had the pleasure of being trigger happy with my camera, but here's what I could best come up with. I promise more!

I should get this laptop off my lap. I heard the heat it emits damages a certain life-making organ and the performance of the life-making process.

getting very thirsty

time to go

Apple has some really interesting new ads to promote their new Macs. Watching Windows getting feature-battered...priceless.

Next Saturday I fly for Canada with both my parents. Love them. And I'm going to go through at least 24 hours of travel time. I wonder just how many hours are needed to sleep all that 'coming-for-me' jet lag off. Perhaps at the end of all my flights I will quote Conan at 626.

"My perception of time...
totally f**ked up"

And whoa, John D. got arrested by the KK police. Well not exactly arrested. They just brought him and his friends (maybe including that Korean guy) to the station. Maybe they arrested him cause he was FAT (still is though). Haha I'm taking sides with Geoff. John, don't get arrested again okay? Fat people don't survive in prison. Oh, and John is NOT in prison and is fine.

Conan's been a real buddy. He's been giving me tons of support about me and my move to Canada. Every white community needs a cool Asian kid right? Ah I miss the Goh brothers... Right now they're living on the 27th floor in some apartment.

Guys, here's one movie you should add to the list of 'Movies Not To Watch With Girlfriend': John Tucker Must Die. It has a scene of that gardener boy from Desperate Housewives in a thong!! Now isn't that something powerful enough to destroy your relationship? Maybe, if you yourself were checking out Ashanti and Sophia Bush....

PS. I haven't seen the movie

Last Friday, I lost my beloved X660. What a horrible way to kick off my last two weeks. No details for you. You only need the headlines. So I'm sort of uncontactable, unless you're Kevin Loh, who's memorized ALL my contact detailss, including my address and both my parents' handphone numbers. Maybe there's a bright side to this. In three weeks or so, I'll be in good cold Canada and perhaps get a free phone with those network plans with Cingular or something. I don't know if Cingular operates in Canada, but I'm doing the research...

It's almost time to go! You can either give me a hug, a cheek-only kiss, or a new handphone. Hahah.

is it the Eskimos?
or is it the Maoris?
whatever, it's lovely

How did you come to know 10?
Through old school Mission Impossible.

What would you do if you had never known 1?
Easy, not watch Lost at all.

What would you do if 6 and 2 dated?
I'd be amazed. If Mike and Eva dated, that would be the day. Their blood of their children would be a salad bar.

Have you ever seen 4 cry?
Paris Hilton? CRY? She'd only cry if she lost all her money.

Do you think 1 is cute?
Not really. But why do I keep watching Lost? Hmmm...

Tell me something about number 11.
Michael Jordan is a real life Superman disguised in a black man's skin.

How did you get to know 8?
Looong ago on MTV. She had nice hair, a nice voice and a nice body to match.

Would you ever go on a date with number 12?
Go on a date with Kanye West? If date means 'studio meeting for discussions on mashing up hiphop/jazz/salsa', yes.

What's 7's favorite color?
I think it's green. Or at least her mySpace layout says so.

What would you do if 6 confessed they liked you?
I'd delete all my Linkin Park and Fort Minor songs.

Fact about 9:
She has the same golden mini-dress Mariah Carey used in 'We Belong Together'.

Who is 4 going out with?
Paris Hilton will go out with anyone who is willing to make night-vision coloured videotapes.

Who is number 5 to you?
C. Ronaldo? I don't know WHY everyone complains about him.

Would you ever live with 13?
Live with Beyonce Knowles? Yes. Very yes.

Is 2 single?
Eva Longoria, single? No. She dates way too many gardener boys.

Where does 7 live?
Easy, on that island with Matthew Fox, inside a hatch with 4 8 15 16 23 42 imprinted on it.

What do you think about 3?
He's kicks a wicked curveball and has the Spice Girl!

What's the best thing about number 8?
She's a guitarist. She's still hot even if she doesn't play power-chords.

What do you like about number 10?
He's done interesting movies. But he's a Scientologist with a baby to hide (you get a funny pic here).

Favorite memory of 2?
When she, at the house party, ran up to Carlos and said "I'm pregnant and it's all your fault!" *slap!*
