As I was flipping through some photos in my digicam, I came across some photos I took in 2002 while on a road trip in Canada. Phliadelphia-Ithaca-Niagara-Montreal-Quebec-Moncton-Bay of Fundy-Saint John-Boston-Philadelphia.

So at Moncton, which is somewhere on the eastern coast of New Brunswick, we visited this attraction called the Magnetic Hill. We had to pay C$5 to drive to the bottom of this slope. Then we put the car in neutral, and the car somehow starts to move on its own up the slope. Till today I still don't know how it works. At that point of time my mind was screaming "Hoax Hoax!" but somehow I still can't really figure it out.


So that's me pretending to be a piece of iron getting stuck to a magnet. Note the incriminating evidence in my right hand -- a large bag of Lays Original Potato Chips. I think it's very bad to hold such things while taking photos, it totally takes away any "Sei" in you. Hahaha :P



This is one of those places that left a deep impression on me. No that tiny speck isn't me. So this place is Hopewell Rocks, located at the Bay of Fundy. We went there at low tide so can see the rocks all the way to the bottom. Can even go down jalan jalan. When the tides are high, u can only see the top parts with grass. So pretty u know, New Brunswick... they have these scenic drives specially marked out for ppl to drive and enjoy the scenery. You feel like stopping every 3 minutes to take photos.

I wonder when my next holiday will be. I want to go to Turkey leh, or Israel. And I want to go to the Scandinavian countries. I'm such a sucker for pretty scenery or historical monuments or old old architecture... the kind you can stand there and go "wah...." for super long.


My favorite family holiday location is Zermatt. My parents liked it so much we went there twice. Every morning you walk out of your hotel you can look up towards the Matterhorn and just stare for like 2 minutes. And that place had almost zero cars... i think i remember seeing 1 delivery truck only. The first time we went, I think I was 9? 11? can't remember. Tried to ski and ended up twisting my knee. Hehehe.... 2nd time my brother and I took ski lessons. My brother almost knocked me off the mountain. He was skiing behind me and the instructor said stop but he never stop so crash into me. Then the path that we were navigating down was very narrow, and on our right got no barrier one, fall over will drop down all the way already. Lucky I still alive to tell the story. I also remember, the bread that I ate in Switzerland was very nice. Every morning at the hotel they had these mini croissants that were so nice I always take a few and bring back to the room with me after that. I really like croissants actually, come to think of it.

Today I made a Quiche. To be specific, a Bacon-Sausage-Mushroom Quiche. I really like to cook, and if I had much more time I would spend more time experimenting. At first I almost bought a Graham pie crust, lucky saw the plain ones in the freezer... then when I was mixing the cream cheese and milk and eggs, I don't know why I couldnt be bothered to look at the proportions in the recipe. Anyhow add my own concoction. Looking for trouble only cos for the next half hour I was so paranoid that the quiche wouldn't set. But everything turned out well and now the quiche is gone. Tomorrow its steak pie day :P
