bbrrr it's getting cold. these few days have been hovering at around 10-20 degrees celsius. the cold wind blows full force. it's nice to an extent, seeing the dried leaves swirl around, hair flying around, sleeves of clothes flapping against the strong wind.

after months of being a captive of apartment 1214 and recently utsc, i finally found my way downtown. i was glad to be walking around town with my long-sleeved shirt and sweater, with my brother and friend, and many other people. went to parts of downtown i haven't been before, like the bloor stretch of high-class boutiques. instead of taking the subway to our dining venue, we walked a long distance of 4 subway stations north and 4 stations west. no sweat. the thing is, if i were to walk the same distance in singapore, i would be sure to have kicked up a ruckus. but not here with the coolness.

had sushi buffet at the same place we usually do, which ended in us being so full that we could feel the puke rising up our throats. no exaggeration here.. weirdly, we went for dessert at greg's ice-cream with the temperature at 14 degrees celsius! i was sick-full, so i skipped the tempting ice-cream. but it's madness to be sitting at the roadside with the cold creeping to us as cold ice-cream was actually consumed.

i love such nights. just doing something simple and enjoyable.

oh and i got news of karthi coming to toronto next week. i desperately need to see a familiar face. he will be staying here for around 2-3 days before he heads to oklahoma, usa, to see chuanyao. cool.
