old town and a bit of school
Flatiron building. Was an old brewery. It is shaped like a wedge of cake!
my favourite pasar ever. cant wait to try the goodies sold there.
enoch turner’s schoolhouse . Toronto’s first schoolhouse.
A bit of the Distillery District. It is a preserved distillery complex from 1832. The largest and best preserved collection of Victorian Industrial Architecture in North America. The Distillery District is a national historic site.
Nothing much there now though. Galleries, arts companies are situated there.
school crest along College Street
Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research. Architectural award winning building. The interior is as beautiful as the exterior. Obviously thinking of here for grad school if i still want to do this.
Nice reflection of the old building on the new building. The new building is huge and the whole surface is covered by reflectiv/shiny/metal/glass/whatever panels.
Intersection of University Avenue and College Street. This area is also called the Hospital Row. Hospital after hospital is located along University Avenue and College Street.
lakeshore and such
walking around the lake shore side of toronto.
CN Tower, tallest building in the world before Petronas Twin Towers claimed the title. I didnt go up the tower, just sneaked a shot. I was sitting down directly opposite it 
Rogers Centre. Dont really know what happens there, possibly sports events.
Princess gate @ Exhibition Place.
They name a street after their damn baseball team.
Damn pretty butterfly at the Toronto Music Gardens.
Boats boats boats. So many of them at Queens Quay.
new york
World Trade Centre site. 7 years ago, I was here. I went up the tower, took gorgeous pictures of NYC. 7 years later, im here and the most overwhelming sense of loss and mortality assaults you. (i know this sounds damn emo, but i kid you not. somehow you can feel the immense tragedy…people died here, its not about the politics and such).
Wall Street. Just as you would imagine it. The street is walled with buildings.
Central Park. Obligatory Bench shot with Monika
NY library. Huge place.
NYU. Happening area. Ashley Olsen studies here. In the picture is the Tisch School of Arts (film school is super good) and Stern School of Business.
Miriam is this really hyper-excitable au pair (they take care of kids and study english at the same time). We stayed in the same 12-bed bunk in the hostel. She saw me walk in and she is like ” What kind of person are you? Do you wear that all the time?” in her cute Mexican accent and she giggles like a teen (she is 25 year old, i cant believe it).The look on her face, is like total wonderment. So cute lah she. And then I offered to let her try wearing tudung, i wore it for her….and she is like “I look like an Indian!” and then she said.. “oh no, i shouldnt be wearing this, Im Catholic”…lol! (i ended up giving her my favourite dark red+black tudung) and she was sooo excited and happy (Huixin has a picture of her wearing my tudung). we exchanged emails and such. She was sooo hyper in the morning even after like 2 hours of sleep (she and her friends, two thai girls went to watch Harry Potter the movie at like 2 am in the morning)…what the hell does she run on man?
Somebody’s gonna get hurt real bad!
Yesterday I went for a free Comedy Show (part of the Toronto Just For Laughs Festival) by the man-of-racist-jokes himself, R.u.s.s.e.l.l P.e.t.e.r.s. It was free! There were like 15000 people (im not kidding) at Yonge-Dundas Square, they actually closed off Yonge Street to accommodate everyone.
Warm-Ups were some newbies that werent really funny (they often always resorted to the race and gay card to make you laugh but they just cant beat the Seniors). Nearer to Peters’ performance, there were two famous canadian comics (that i obviously dont recognise) but they were really really funny (the Black Guy talked abt race and the gay white guy Trevor Boris talked about being gay in toronto, but they were good).
So R.u.s.s.e.l.l P.e.t.e.r.s came on stage and he starts doing his improvs. I love how he engages the crowd and then proceeds to make fun of the poor guys that he picked out. (to this Jap-American dude: Wow! you can make half a good car already! *lol*) He made fun of emo-kids and boys with their butts hanging out of their pants and how kids like to talk in the ghetto slang. It was damn hilarious. encouraging parents to beat their kids. he made his usual asian jokes and such, hairy men jokes. so many of them, i cant really remember, i just remembered laughing a lot.
R.u.s.s.e.l.l P.e.t.e.r.s introduced this new guy called J.o K.o.y. He is really really really really good. He uses the race card (cuz he is Filipino-American). He can sing too, did a good imitation of Michael Jackson. If you are interested, watch him on you tube, his material is pretty much the same since he is new. His jokes were about his mum’s Pinoy accent, his wife giving birth and his 3 year old son. Really really really funny.
ok i know its really small, click on it so at least you can see him haha.
Gotta study for a test this Tuesday, do a lab report and also miscellaneous studying. so not gg anywhere far away this weekend. heh. still going to walk ard toronto and sightsee though…
oh yes, i still havent finished with NYC pictures.
miss everyone.
bye bye Taka Library :(
Library@Orchard is my favourite library. Visiting the library added value to my solo Orchard Road outings, plus the fiction spread there is pretty good. Going to miss it Sigh.
new york city part one
spent three days in nyc with the girls. slept at the Jazzhostel On the Park, Uptown. walked a lot, shopped a bit, Subwayed a lot. a bit too tired to blog frm the ten hour GREYHOUND bus journey…enjoy the pictures though
Random COLOURFUL building on 8th Avenue, Madison Square Garden y’all. Gritty, ghetto-ey Subway train that we took a lot of , Ugly Betty At Times Square.
this was actually on the second day, at Battery Park. We could see Lady Liberty waaay out in Ellis island, far far away. I snapped a picture but it was too small to put up. We met Lady Liberty at the entrance of Battery Park so i just had to take a photo with her. Obligatory flower photo. us aka ‘the girls’.
hahahhaha. yah, i was at the biggest toys r us in the world. i took a gazillion pictures of the toys and such. and yes, thats shrek! oh and in the middle is the Empire State Building.
more pictures (and words) soon. i need to zzzzz.
this has got to be the catchiest song ever
finger eleven
paralyser
I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far has not been good
It’s been shitty
And I feel awkward as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark lit place
For your place on my place
Well I’m not paralyzed
But I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
I hold out for one more drink
Before I think
I’m looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well I’m still imagining
A dark lit place
For your place on my place
Well I’m not paralyzed
But I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
[repeat 2x]
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
