There's a saying in Canada which goes something like this: Many people who come to Canada planning to stay for a short while end up staying for a lifetime.
And it's not too difficult to see why. Canada is really blessed with many of God's beautiful creations and I was delighted to see some of them over the past weekend.
Lin and I went on a 4D3N Canadian Rockies tour with another couple and it was really a fun trip, took tons of photos (1.256 GB to be exact) and stared wide-eyed at the turqoise lakes, towering mountains and of course the splendid glacier icefield, which was definitely the highlight of our trip.

(Actually, this was my favourite shot.. Caught this squirrel at Canmore, a retro old town that we stayed at for 2 nights. It was standing stationary outside its squirrel hole, looking hopelessly lost.. )

*** Missing a really dear friend at the moment now. She passed away because of cancer a few days ago and I'm feeling pretty guilty about having a blast of a time here in Canada while her funeral was underway.
We have a habit of exchanging christmas cards and I do remember a few years back, she mentioned that I was her best guy friend. Not sure if that's still the case today but she was my best friend from secondary school as well. She was such a sweet and lovely person that you would want to dote on her all the time.
Funnily enough, she was the only person whom I sms-ed the day before I flew off to Vancouver. I asked if she wanted anything from the States but she didn't reply. And silly enough, I didn't think too much about it.
Obviously, I was wrong and I'm really sad that I wasn't around there her last few moments. She was the first to know about my blog and I'm sad knowing that she wouldn't be reading it anymore. I'm sad that she wouldn't be able to see the photos that I had taken on my Vancouver trip. I'm sad that she didn't ever get the chance to meet my girlfriend. I'm sad that we didn't get to meet up after my exams.
Maybe death was a better option for her, since it freed her from her sufferings and illness. But on a personal selfish note, I wish she was still around, because it hurts the most knowing that I will never ever get to see or talk to her again...
I miss you pat...
