snow in the october sky

The first snowflakes fell to the ground in Toronto today. I was in a bus at Scarborough, and I heard mutterings of 'Xia xue le' over my earphones. I looked out of the window, and indeed, flurries.. It lasted only for a few minutes at where I was. Nora said it was longer downtown.

My first Midterm of the year is on Saturday evening. Crappy. School is already taking its toll on me. But I do feel more 'open' to school now: the people, schoolwork, surroundings. This is exactly what it should feel like to be a second year undergraduate.

Thanksgiving seemed so short. Spent lots of time eating. The potluck dinner on Saturday wasn't bad. There were lots of food (my brother made curry, and I made pasta salad). We played this "Murder Mystery" game where we each took on a role and had to find out who was the murderer. I portrayed the South American businessman who is in actual fact a drug dealer. HA! On Sunday, went out of town with ISC to a countryside farm where we went for activities like apple-picking and finding our way out through a Dinosaur corn maize. Dinner was this buffet which wasn't so bad. We have so many apples, that everyday we take one. Got to speed that up otherwise they will all go bad.


Welcome to Pingle's Farm.


SWEET me and CORNY brother. LOL.


Up atop a stack of hay.


Corn-Maze!


Blocking the view.


Genetic variety in corn. Biology.. Bummer.


In the maze.


I sat on humongous pumpkins. By the way, Halloween is approaching.


Two fingers salute the Pingle's Pumpkin Patch.


1-2-3, and pluck the apples!

A llama, two sheep, and a barn.
