hey everyone!

no photos to show this time round, but its almost a week since Jason and I have been in Kingston. We have made many new friends from all over and life has been good and exciting.

Over in Kingston, "taking things as they come" seems to be the be all and end all attitude for housing and accommodations and modules. As of now, i only have 2 modules (that's a 100% increase from my previous portfolio of modules actually!) and we only just found housing after 3 days of looking. Currently we are still leaving in a motel like place.

With regard to modules, we were told to have faith and trust the academic advisers that slots will open up in the end? It's kinda sketchy but hey we are in a different country after all!

For the past week, I have:

1. Made new friends with tons of other people from around the world! (its quite cool being the minority for once)
2. Went to Wolfe Island and tried out some corn maze
3. Went to Ale House over on Princess Street and had towers (i mean TOWERS) of relatively good Canadian Beer.. KAN PEI!
4. Went over to the houses of 3 different friends to well.. drink, eat dinner and then drink some more (thanks to Simone, John and Julien for opening up their places)
5. Walked the whole of Kingston looking for a good place to leave
6. Drink more again (man i got to start to switch to wine or something, HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT LIKE THAT????)
7. Walked more again (i realize somehow that i am always being overtaken by Canadians while walking on the sidewalk, boy do they walk fast)
8. Had Chinese food at VIP Chinese restaurant 6 times (hey.. they have $3.95 lunch specials which i tell you is a God send! )
9. Noticed that there is something about French girls that is really attractive, i cant put my finger to it though!
10. Attended church @ St. Andrews Presbyterian (well.. it was quite disappointing as i had that churches here have to close down because not enough people attend church over here. I could see why: over @ St. Andrews , I was one of the youngest people, including children and kids, attending the service)
11. Found out from a friend what Eugene in french sounds like (ITS WAY MORE COOL! HAHA)
12. Found out that over in Kingston / Canada, they have Christian TV channels that teaches some weird stuff.. essentially they construct a message by taking different chunks of the bible and putting them together to deliver a message. (essentially its like taking a dictionary and picking out words that you want and constructing a essay)

Finally, just some thanksgiving to be accorded: I am thankful to God for journey mercies over the past 3 weeks of traveling where effectively i haven't stay in a place for more than 3 nights straight. For being kept healthy despite the constant traveling. Also want to say thanks to Peggen, Yiwei (and their housemates) for hosting us over in Montreal! i really had fun over there and you guys were smashing!

All right.. that's all from me for now! hope everyone is doing fine!! =)
