The Swedish AbFlex

I’ve been told I’m very good at “sounding smart” or “looking like I know what I’m talking about”. This helps because I believe that many people think I’m a lot smarter than I actually am! After yesterday’s story, I could only recall one other time I got caught bullshitting someone. I also [...]

Built for Glory

Another link added to the “Sites I Visit” section. It’s always fun to discover blogs of people you know! The author, Naomi, went to high school with me. She was one grade senior to me and we (Naomi, her sister Steph and I) had a lot of interesting conversations on the 45 [...]

Solitude

Have you ever been to the movies by yourself? A restaurant? How about a club/bar? Being an extrovert, I often find it weird (or uncomfortable) to be by myself; especially in a public place. Contrary to popular opinion, being an extrovert is not ONLY about being outgoing but it’s also the fact that [...]

Lake Decarie

My mom sent me an email with “Lake Decarie” as the subject. I wondered what this was about…there is no Lake Decarie (as far as I know) in Montreal! That is, until recently…apparently the flooding you see in the pics was caused by only ~15 mins of rain!! This was on Tuesday; how come none [...]

Desensitized or Minding My Own Business?

The other day I was sitting in a booth at the internet café nearby when I heard a commotion a couple of feet away. It sounded like someone was getting a beating. I didn’t even get up to see what was going on. When I left, there was a guy outside who was bloodied [...]

Hikkaduwa Pics

Unfortunately the weather was crap in Hikkaduwa, so to answer the anonymous comment: No, I didn’t get to do the glass bottom boat thing! Here are the few pics I managed to get:

The first 2 pics are the site where a train was derailed during the Tsunami. I was told about 1,400 died. [...]

In Hikkaduwa

Happy Independance day to my American readers!I’ve never been to Hikkaduwa before, but unfortunately I got here on a Sunday night (not much goin’ on!). It’s a nice little town and everything around in terms of accommodations and food is very inexpensive. I’ll have to come back and spend a proper weekend here or maybe [...]

Surprise Party!!

What’s better than a party? A surprise party! It was Heshani’s birthday yesterday. (Side note: It was also Canada day!) Hesh kept bugging Michael and I to organize a surprise party and we kept saying it would be a surprise if she knew! Of course, we secretly made all the necessary arrangements and managed to [...]

The Blue Water Hotel

Hesh insisted that I stay in a really nice hotel at some point before I leave. Last weekend, right after I returned from Mullaitivu we (Hesh, M, D and I) went to The Blue Water hotel in Wadduwa. The Blue Water is part of the Jetwing family of hotels. It was a really nice place [...]
