Reminds me of someone...

So I was in a very important meeting this morning. You'd expect a decent person to focus and give 100% concentration... but guess what I did? Right in the middle of the discussion, for a good 3 seconds, I stopped and looked outside the window. My colleagues asked me if there was anything wrong. I was too embarrassed to say the truth, so I just told them it was nothing, and picked-up where we left off.

The truth? Right in the middle of something I was saying, I saw a squirrel running in the roof of the building across the street... hihihi...

Does that remind you of someone? No?

Let me refresh your memory...




Yet another proof of my immaturity... :P

drug store nostalgia

I went inside the drug store near the hotel I'm staying in to buy something to drink. While trying to pick which fruit juice to buy, the song "Can You Stand the Rain" by Boys 2 Men started playing.

I couldn't help but smile, as it brought back morsels of memories. This song was part of the mixed tape (as in cassette tape) my first girlfriend gave me, way back in High School. I know... cheezy... and yes, I am THAT old.

It was one of the most beautiful gifts I have ever received. I even had it converted to CD when I was in college, just so I can preserve actual the songs she painstakingly recorded, the old-fashioned way (now, that's love!).

I waited inside the drug store for the song to finish before leaving. And I'm pretty sure I left there with a smile. That might have scared the storekeeper. hehehe...

tic-tac...tic-tac...

It's been a week since I've arrived in Montreal, but my body-clock still hasn't adjusted to the time difference. I woke-up wide-awake at 2:30am. By 3:30am, I was hungry, so I reheated some of the left-overs from dinner.

Great! So much for adjusting!

I initially thought that the time difference between Montreal and Singapore is 12hours. Apparently, it's 13. However, when I arrived, they were implementing Daylight Savings Time, thus explaining why the time difference was only 12.

Now, November 1, marks the end of the DST, so it's back to 13hours!

Hayst... I really need to sleep now...

Now, I love Canada... :)

I may have mentioned how much I don't like Canada because of the freakingly cold weather. But now Canada has redeemed itself in my books because of this:



Canada has Image+Nation! It is a yearly GLBT (Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transsexual) Film festival. And I'm sooo going today! :)

Hopefully, I'll also be able to join the Halloween party later tonight to celebrate the last night of the festival. My costume? I'm going as an Asian IT engineer. :P Let's see if they'll buy that! Hahahaha...

Yey Canada!
