Snowing...

At 11:00pm
-9 degree Celcius(feels like -18)
I was standing in front of my house, watching the snow falling
Felt the cold

Enjoyed the fresh

Prayed tomorrow a beautiful day...

Snow crept to everywhere...

Outside the gate of my house,

you can hardly see doorsteps leading to the road.

Snow was piled up along the footpath,

which I walk through everyday.

Snowy night..

Silent night..

Time, please stop at this moment

Don't know what is cold,

try to stand here like what I did

First Snowfall in Ottawa (Nov. 23)

First snowfall came on Nov.23, kinda excited to see snow here. Thanks to its come, I would say this is the only thing that gave me the refreshing feeling these days, because what I have gone through recently can only be described as one word - "B-U-S-Y"! Also, snow reminded me of winter in Beijing, although it becomes more and more rare to see snowy days during the winter of Beijing. Umm... Climate changes have been bringing so dramatic effect on earth.

On Saturday the 24th , I had a group disscussion in the afternoon. So i went to school and recorded the snowy scenes on campus. Pics. were taken by my cell phone as well.

This kind of waiting room at bus stop really comes in handy in winter of Ottawa, it blocks chilly wind and storm although doesn't provide any heaters. It is only expected to be seen at major stops, which is far more not enough as far as i'm concerned.

Just For Fun - My Celebrity Look-alikes

I did My Celebrity Look-alikes by using two pictures of mine and here are the results. Tata Young is the celebrity that I am most alike, the likeness is about 83% something. As a matter of fact, I don't think we are really look-alikes. Maybe she is chosen due to the specific picture of me that I picked. When compared two results, I found that Joey Yung(容祖儿) - a singer from Hong Kong and Fujiki Naohito(藤木直人) - a Japanese actor and singer were shown twice. It must be kidding me, haha, how come that I looked like them. Then I began to doubt the authority of this online application until I spotted a name, Gong Li (巩俐), a world-wide renowned Chinese actress, that's right!

It reminded me of a short story. I still remembered vividly that one of my elementary teachers once said to me that I looked like Gong Li. Then I told my mom about this full of happiness. To my surprise, she laughed and said jokingly that my teacher better got a pair of glasses. At that time, I was kinda unsatisfied with her response. Now, this software also believes what my teacher has said, at least partially agrees ;) See，Mom, there must be something right.

Although the result is not accurate from my perspective, it is still fun to play with this software. If you are also interested in it, try it by yourself http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/face-recognition.php

Chef is back :)

During the break week between two blocks of Fall semester, I got a chance to do something I like, cooking, to be specific. :) Although cooking is a time-consuming job as most people consider, it indeed brings me some sorts of satisfaction after I finally make it. The only thing disturbing me is how am I gonna deal with my weight. Umm...hope it stays here ;)

Colorful Days

On my way to a Chinese grocery store named Kowloon, I saw beautiful fall sceneries everywhere. Leaves on the ground are much thicker. Trees represent a variety of colors, especially red and amber. So amazing! I am really enjoying deeply of this colorful season! But darn it, I forgot to bring my camera again!
