To Whistler... My dream
The slopes would have opened by now… although it’s not in the best condition to ski yet. Ahhh… I wish I am still in the States now, so that I can at least ski one last time before heading home. To ski in Whistler and Blackcomb for 5 solid days… …I will do anything to fly to whistler for this season! O well… fat hope.
Looking at my finances now, there is no way I can afford a skiing trip to Whistler, Canada. Unless, I strike the lottery or something (which means pretty impossible) or that I max my credit card to the very MAX and work like a slave for the next 6 months. Hrm… did I mention that I am currently unemployed?
Yes… I am back in Sunny Singapore, and the weather has been driving me nuts. Every time when I step out of the house, I will either die of heat stroke or that I will drown in my own sweat. Kinda miss the cold in Chicago actually…
To my friends still in the States or Canada, do yourself a favor (or at least do it for me!) GO SKIING! Or at least learn skiing or snowboarding!
What is life without skiing…?
Sigh.

My Last Recipe
This is it. My very last day in Chicago, United States of America. I am actually feeling rather indifferent, which kinda surprises me.
A tinge of sadness, a tablespoon of excitement, 2 teaspoons of nostalgia and a little sprinkle of fulfillment. Blend together… and I get indifference. Very interesting isn’t it?
Oh… I forgot to mention that you will have to freeze the above mixture in Numbness for about a week, and your indifference will turn out to be perfect. Cold and firm… with the correct consistency.

To the Moon and back
I jumped on a plane and flew to Vancouver last week and after spending a cold and wet week there, I am now in cold and windy Chicago. And will be heading back to hot and sunny Singapore by next week.
Vancouver – The most picturesque city in the world?
I think I will agree with that. The snow cap mountains, the sea, the maple-look-alike trees (my Canadian friend said that those were NOT maple tress but a wanabe) lining the sidewalks, the fallen red and yellow leaves. It’s as if I was in the enchanted garden…
On a cloudless day, every time I looked out of my friend’s window, I will see the Vancouver city, with the mountains – Cypress and Grouse as the back drop. Ahhh… I must say that the view took my breath away every time.
And being a ski freak, I actually took a day trip to Whistler (2010 Winter Olympic), one of the BEST skiing resorts in North America and spent half a day looking wistfully at the mountains, imagining that I was up there skiing and braving Blackcomb’s and Whistler’s slopes.
Sigh… but too bad for me, the skiing season has not started yet and I guess I just have to come here another time. *sad*
Vancouver all in all, gave me a very relax feel to it. Outdoor activities are easily available all year round. Ski/snowboard your heart out in the winter, water-rafting in spring, camping and hiking in summer and biking/horseback riding in fall…. …. The change of the season, in turn, will change your lifestyle, your activities and your wardrobe, and it’s this kind of change I really look forward to
Everyone is nicer, friendly and genuinely greet strangers with smile… something I am really unaccustomed to. And I thought San Francisco and Chicago were laid back…
Will definitely want to go back to Vancouver again. To Whistler. To Ski.

Women over 30
Below is an article written by Andy Rooney. And after reading that, I have never been more inspired to grow old. The funniest thing is that I have always been looking forward to "aging well". I feel that being older equates to being wiser (hopefully!) and nothing is more attractive than that. Compared to a woman who is 30, I always feel like a kid and inadequate... ... BUT please note that being 30 and LOOKING like a 30 year-old is 2 totally different matter. ;p
Here is a piece written by Andy Rooney - CBS 60 Minutes.
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do.
And,it's usually something more interesting.
A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.
Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if youdeserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can getaway with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. A woman over 30 has the self-assurance tointroduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guywith other women. Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attractedto her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.
Women getpsychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 30.They always know.
A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not trueof younger women or drag queens. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are ajerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where youstand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart,well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making afool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize.For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk forfree".
Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage,why?
Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get alittle sausage..
