So, I was thinking I should start to write
in English more since I really need to practice my writing, or else I wouldn’t
improve much even though I study in Canada. And here I am, trying to use my
limited vocabulary to describe those subtle feelings and transient thoughts.
Hope I can still capture the maximum of my ideas and emotions.
[Apple Festival]
I like golden gala! No wonder the goddesses fought for itXD
Apple is not my
favorite fruit, but apple pie has always been my favorite dessert. I suspect my
love of apple pie is from MacDonald, but who cares? I just know I always fail
to reject a just baked apple pie or apple crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Life can’t be better with this unbeatable combination.
Anyway, as I thought
not many exchange students would be interested in this event since it’s very
family-oriented, I only asked Ting if she wanted to come. Of course we two
gobblers wouldn’t want to miss this event, so here we are! And as we imagined,
we saw apple tart, apple tasting, caramel apple, apple chips and all kinds of
apples to buy. I never knew the difference between apples for cooking and
eating raw, but now I want to make apple jam by myself as well. Think about it,
in cold and rainy Vancouver, what can be a better pastime than making apple jam
in dorm?
I also had a
great time enjoying the performance of UBC Acapella. They are pretty good, and
watching them singing on stage made me want to join next term.
Isn't it a paradise for kids? I've always wanted to do it when I read picture books, but now I am too old.

Afterwards, we
wondered in the botanical garden and accidentally strolled along half the
route. I even went into a tree hole! Too bad that it’s not the hole Alice
jumped in, or else I might be in wonderland now! But to be honest, my life here
is pretty much like in wonderland. Every day I am challenged by new things and
new ideas. And I was just like Alice, who thought herself has been educated
well and always ready to be praised as a good girl, finding it surprising that
people don’t react the way I expected. But still I will keep walking until I find
my dream garden.
[Potluck]
Proud that my coconut curry is widely accepted by everyone. All I did was adding coconut milk in it and that makes everything differentXD
Recognized by two French girlsXD
I invited Gabby to come along and she taught me how to make the common Mexican starter, Quesadilla. I had a great time with her and I will definitely miss her after she goes back to Mexico. All my other theater junkie friends are staying for a term only, and who can I go to theater in next term?? I am also tempted to visit Mexico next June after I go to east coast:P
It is not a bad
day, but i was just not that cheerful. Perhaps I am too used to spend time with
someone, that it just felt awkward to not see him for a while. And I was therefore
distracted from the present I was in and the people around me. Nevertheless, I am
glad and thankful for what I had experienced today. It’s a common yet delightful
Canadian day in autumn nonetheless!
