Olympics coming to an end.

The excitement, the anguish, the friendship, the joy, and the thought of endless hrs the athletes put in; are just one of the many emotions that can be felt when watching the Olympics. As the event draws to an end today, it will be another four years when the next Winter Olympics will be held in Sochi. It was fun, and it was great to see Canada play a part by hosting an event with so many history behind it in 2k10.

Olympics!!!!

And so, it's been busy after work lately. What for? For watching Olympics of course!!!! Despite a subpar opening ceremony due to mechanical failures; the games are full of excitement, anticipation, and I love to read the stories behind each of the athletes.

Today was a good day for Canada as they were able to beat Russia in hockey to struggle their way back into the semis after US defeated them earlier. Gold and Silver for Bobsleigh was also great, along with getting Silver in speedskating (after KOR was DQed). Need I say more about the excitement? Oh, and yeah; the cute Yu-Na definately sparkles on ice!

Year of the Tiger

And so, it was Chinese New Years and the year of the Tiger is official in! Despite I'm grown up over here in Toronto, parents still maintained much Chinese tradition ranging from meals to events. I'm glad that today is family day to recuperate the huge amount of dinner/luncheons w/ relatives/family/uncle-aunts. Here's the dishes my mom prepared, with each dish having it's own meaning of good luck/health/career. This is due to the pronounciation of each dish having double meanings. Happy new year everyone!
