After Montreal

It’s never an easy to leave Montreal. ever. here’s a song that reminds me of those days…

Mind the messy hair, I just had an “I don’t care” moment… Hahaha…. *sigh…


Something funny that happened.

So in my recent trip to Montreal, I paid an old friend a visit, let’s call him “K”. K is exactly my age and he is well into med school. He is already administrating medical procedures on people! Woah.

We sat on a park bench while I was asking him questions like, “How do you deal with the blood?”
“Don’t you get nauseated?”
“Aren’t you scared of making a mistake?”
“Isn’t this all stressful?”

K was very humble as he kept on playing it off like it wasn’t a big deal. “It’s not hard, it’s okay, you get used to it,” etc.

A guy who had been listening in to our conversation from another park bench got up and scoffed out loud, “I am an artist and I make $80, 000 a year!”

#1 – The Small Things in Life – Bike Clock

My friend said I could pass out in her roommate’s bed last Saturday. I was too tired to notice anything, I just crashed onto the bed. Little did I know I would wake up to a pleasant surprise in the morning.

A huge clock made out of a bike wheel was mounted on the wall. This signaled to me that it’s always time to ride a bike! As a bike enthusiast myself, this is such a great idea for my room. As you can see in this picture, he installed the hour hands himself and drew out the rest of the bike with tape. I just love this idea so much that I had to take a picture of it. I never met this roommate, but whoever he is, I bet we would get along just great!

It's always time to ride a bike!

My first attempt in tight rope walking

Who needs over-priced theme parks with their endless line-ups when all you need is a rope tied between two trees for a real adrenaline rush? I was at the Tam Tam’s in Montreal last Sunday, and saw that someone had set up a tight rope. I had to give it a try! And I got it filmed.

I appear a bit shaky in the video at first, but I do eventually walk a few steps, and I do completely let go of the guys hand at one point, and I even pivot and walk to the other side!
