“But if you ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?”



toronto has been good so far. despite having been here for only 2 days, i felt like i'm actually beginning love this place. the sucker in me misses home initially, but i think as the days passed, the place grew more and more on me. i was sitting in a random cafe along the streets this morning, popped in because the weather was freezing my face but the cafe turns out to be a really cosy place where i could jus sit in for the day with a nice book and a sweet brew of coffee. even as i combed the streets of downtown today, it was quite an experience since u can call this the first time i'm being out alone in another country altogether. eaton centre was bustling with plenty of shops and people, there're even people dancing along the streets! roamed down to harbourfront, which was a nice quiet place with yachts and boats along the lakeside. and it looks beautiful even with the rain, imagine if the weather was kinder! headed over to a friend's apartment for dinner and wii/karaoke, it's always nice to make new friends when u're out and about. especially when we are from different countries! all in all, freezing weather, cosy apartment and homecooked dinner with tonnes of laughter made my day!

a sidenote, the cold weather here makes me think about things more. i could sit around in the wee hours of the day and get lost in my own train of thoughts. sounds a lil melodramatic haha but i guess that's how i am sometimes. i always appreciate such moments because it makes me feel stronger each time, and it builds me up for every pitfall that was to come along the way. i wouldnt say i'm better off this way, or that i'm extremely happy, but i guess life's about coming to terms with reality. keith's words rang in my ears every once in awhile, reminding me that happiness is not granted, and that i mite end up with nothing or everything at the end of the day, so it's better to stay rooted to the ground and quit having fairytale dreams. i'm curious as to what life maps out for me, definitely. i still yearn for happiness, definitely. but i don't really dare to dream again, you can say i'm afraid of falling but yeah that's the idea. but i'll still hold my head high, brace myself up when it's bad and celebrate when it's good. one of the reasons how come i love mickey so much, because i envied how he has minnie by his side for the past 80 plus years. i guess this trip gave me too much food for thought. time to sleep!
