Dallas Texas

I never thought I would have a chance to visit Texas. Luckily I was invited to Kent's convocation so I gave myself another vacation away from home, a weekend trip to Dallas. Kent was the best host ever - a place to crash, rides to everywhere just like a mini road trip.

Snapshots of Dallas/Fort Worth:

Let's start with what seems to be there symbol - the STAR
and this one has my name!


Which North American City is complete without a tall "landmark"?


See the red stars on the columns? The city of Dallas is connected by these super highways.


A visit to the AA Training Centre is not complete without pretending to be a trainee.


IM Pei's pointy tower juxtaposed with the red brick buildings in the west end.

What we're doing? On that particular day, there is a performance art piece in the public space. People stay still in all kinds of positions - lying down under a bench, leaning on the guardrail etc... we are just part of it.

Gotta try one on...


Seafood in Dallas? That's right! Oysters, crabs, Mexican sausages, corn and of course a glass of white wine!

first time making cream puffs following a recipe on tv. Puffs are on the soft side. They can be baked longer for extra crunch. love to make it again, small and light, perfect bite-size!

Day after my convo, we went for brunch and decided that
we had to do something fun on a rainy day - bowling - and later for tea.

Graduation


a milestone
i got my diploma and
crossed the stage - fast! ha
Kent came to Toronto for my convocation! What a surprise!
He did come to visit me when I studied in Montreal in summer 2004.
I did not expect this long time old friend to make a trip from Dallas Texas to T.
He was my good friend and my photographer on this special occassion.
Thanks KC!

Banduras


Pete and I went rollerblading on lakeshore. We headed east of yonge to tommy thomson park.


Then we headed back to the Harbourfront Centre where the Ukrainian Festival was held.
The main event of the day was Alex's brother performing with a traditional Ukrainian musical instrument - Banduras.

Downtown Galt, Cambridge, Ontario


It is the day when I finally completed my six years of University life. Since the recent move of our school, the actual time that I spent in Downtown Galt, Cambridge, Ontario has only been eight months. Aside from a long list of negative comments about the place, the most memorable is the Grand River and the bridges that span across it. Pictured is the Main Street Bridge and the school of Architecture is on the left.

Snapshots of the school in Cambridge:

ipod


My six-month-old ipod has already been quite scratched up just from keeping it in my coat pocket. Today, however, marked the day when its LCD screen was cracked. It slipped out of my coat pocket and landed face down onto the hardwood floor at home. The fall was less than 2 feet but the screen did not survive. =(
