:) Happy!

Went for a 1200 people dodgeball match last week, was awesome. It was a world event and broadcasted across canada channels, held at U of A butterdome (indoor stadium). I belonged to the yellow team! Against the greens, our school colours basically. Haha was really an eye opener, seeing 1200 balls flying around and having to dodge it. Seriously its hard to throw far and fast, cui-ed totally, and the green team was smart, they kept all the balls and attacked suddenly where we ran for our lives hahah quite funny. After which we did the same so each team just runs up and down across the middle line. The ball is soft!

Had a mini skip trip this Sunday, went to Strathcona wilderness centre 45 mins away from Edmonton. Quite cool and its amazing how you produce heat despite the cold. A really nice sport and workout for me! Quite fun too but it takes alot of effort to balance on the thin ski because its cross country skiing. Tiring and having aches now but the exp was worth it. Was a two hour crash course for all the basic skills and then trail tours, i loved going downhill omg the heartdrop feeling and having no worries :) And the challenging thing is to remain balanced and calm while skiing down because its easy to lose balance and fall all the way, though falling is not at all painful, just the getting up part. Basically just bend your knees, weight shift while skiing and try to lean forward all the time!

Was cooking dinner when i thought of everyone suddenly. Like mummy's yummy soy sauce rice with chicken, the flour biscuits at home..mommy's homemade curry chicken. Thought about yan suddenly and how he'd always wanna grab your attention. Over here no one really wanna grab ur attention like how a kid does haha. And about everyone else in the family, stay safe and happy :) Touched that mummy saved the flour biscuits for me specially hahah can keep till May but i'll prolly get back in june, hopefully will be able to eat it. Vday is coming, tgt with cny. Only looking forward to cny, having a few gatherings over here, but nothing beats celebrating it with close frens and a reunion dinner with family:) Oh well, have to make do with it :(

Going to Calgary and Banff from Sat onwards, will try to take more pics, buy some stuff and keep everyone updated about interesting things :D But before that I have to study hard, then play hard. Midterms are scary haiz.

Going for a medical tour at the UA hospital plus NMR research centre tomorrow. Hopefully I can find my way there, tmr's a real hectic day for me :/ Luckily Val is there to help me take notes as I have to leave early halfway. And im finally getting a phone this week!

Feeling happy everytime i skype haha, maybe its just the interaction with people u feel comfortable with that i yearn. And im going HK in August!!! Yay :) Looking forward to that, and will probably get a part time job before i fly again haha, hopefully!

PS: May everyone enjoy the upcoming new year, spread the joy and love :) Will find time to update on fri before i leave.

Love, ashley
