This is what I do Part II

More pics from that night:

That familiar stroll

School finally let me breathe a little bit this weekend. So I let myself go on a much deprived mini-shopping trip, also have been chilling with some friends, reading some books (will have an entry about it later), watching Love Actually (it was heart-warming!) and taking some photos. I tried to enjoy this weekend as much as possible because I know that another wave will come at me! Lately, though, I find that I care less and less about school. I still want to do well but I am trying not to let it dictate my life. I want to keep an open-mind and let myself explore things I really feel passionate about. My mentality changes a lot, but I believe it's a foundation that keeps on molding into a set of values and beliefs I have come to live by. If you're confused with what I'm babbling about...I'm not surprised since half the time, I'm confused myself. :) Nonetheless... ;)

A neighbourhood stroll with mom on that warm, breezy Friday evening

I love sunsets and sunrises.


More pictures to come in a few days! Still in the process of editing, so stay tuned.

Hiatus

Sorry for the 2 week hiatus from my beloved Mind Speak! I was studying for exams, writing exams, and then going to work everyday and going out a lot. Haha. :) I just really wanted to make a post tonight so I didn't even bother editing any of my pictures. They are as is! I will be starting next semester this week, so the next post might be another little while. I will try my best to push myself to take more pictures and post! Thanks for following this pblog, it means a lot to me.

Experimenting my new lens, the 50mm.

The people that I have known for all my life in Canada <3>

prettiest tea pot I've ever seen

I LOVED that restaurant. It's so chic. :D

An Official Adult

No more excuses for immaturity, I am officially 21 now. I really do hope that this time around, I will reach the goals I have set for myself and become better all around. :) Although, I don't think I can ever lose that immaturity and naive nature in me. Heck, I'm just going to embrace it then! Thanks for visiting my blog and I wish to share with you my celebration of living 21 years with this picture:

:D

Traditions

This past weekend was Chinese New Year and as part of family tradition, we always buy sweets/snacks, make cakes, and bow to the Buddha Gods (no, I'm not religious). Just thought I would share with you some photos that reflect the biggest Chinese cultural celebration of the year.

The pot where we place the incense after praying.

You've probably seen this somewhere before - the lucky cat that brings in the cash.

I found this to be super cool - who knew that they'd get creative and have a word embossed on an apple! It means "get rich". (Yes, Chinese people like money.)

My lovely mother. :)

And if you notice that the tone of my pictures are a lot cooler and not as vibrant, that's because I'm playing around with photoshop a bit. (Trying to learn how to use it!)

Sorry for the lack of updates again; I want to post more frequently too! Thanks for visiting.
