there comes a time when i must stand alone.i must feel confident enough within myself to follow my own dreams.i must be willing to make sacrifices.i must be capable of changing & rearranging my priorities so that my final goal can be achieved.sometimes, familiarity & comfort need to be challenged. there are times when i must take a few extra chances and create my own realities.be strong enough to at least try to make my life better.be confident enough that i wont settle for a compromise just to get by.appreciate myself by allowing myself the opportunities to grow, develop and find my true sense of purpose in life.dont stand in someone else's shadow when its MY sunlight that should lead the way.work hard at what i like to do and try to overcome all obstacles.laugh at my mistakes and praise myself for learning from them.pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature.say hello to strangers and enjoy the people i know.dont be afraid to show my emotions - laughing & crying make me feel better.love my friends & family with my entire being - they are the most important part of my life. feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day.find a rainbow and live my world of dreams.

second stop was kingston. was there for 4 days 3 nights, then it was off to toronto. didnt do much there. basically jus eating, and more eating. oh, but i visited the Queens University which my cousin is studying in. its really big place, very nice. took some pictures of Lake Ontario which is opposite the university. it was totally frozen thou; frozen waves too! it was beautiful. oh, there was bubble tea in one of the streets. it was good!

drove up to whistler today - a one and a half hour drive up from home. the best thing happened, the one thing big thing is was looking forward to for this trip. and after 20 years. i finally see snow today. it was a double blessing, when a light snow fall started. i stood in the cold cold weather beneath the snow fall, and just took in every single moment of it. it was beautiful. simply beautiful =] also catched a movie up there. watched 'music and lyrics'. it was good. sweeet =] will probably be going up to whislter again on saturday. more snow! cant wait! the family cat, cody, is sitting comfortably on my lap as i'm typing this entry. when will sasha ever do that....*do not follow where the path may lead. go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

it just feels so good being around the people here. unfamiliar passer-bys on the streets greeting u a warm friendly smile ; cashiers at the supermarket starting a casual conversation with u, and wishing u a good day ahead as u collect ur change and prepare to leave; u dont find this happening very often in singapore, do u? well this is what it's like here in vancouver. everyone treats everyone with respect; u dont get by anywhere without receiving a smile from someone - anyone. it's such a nice place to be in, really... i am so AMAZED. not. the family dog, Shappy, happily took a chew on my handphone charger wire while i was having my dinner, and left me with TWO pieces instead of a single one. my battery's completely dead, and i soo needed to charge my phone. thanks to u, Shappy, i cant read mommy's msgs till i find a charger here. like hopefully =X*mommy come online sooon so we can chat! =]
