Random bits and pieces

The book was way way better. The Code was a disappointment. Didn't live up to the trailer;p. Too long, too much talk, and the actors just didn't work for me. I just kept thinking of Tom Hanks in Castaway, Audrey Tatou in Amelie, Paul Bettany in Wimbledon, and Ian Mckellan in LOTR. Maybe they should've picked some not so well known actors. Ah well, it was a good try.

Looking forward to X-3 now.

Got to catch up with people I haven't seen in a long while. Carmen's back from Guelph (not your Carmen, Ada), Lisa was back from London, Kitty whose been in HK (just very busy), Ada whose in Australia (chatted online). It was nice to catch up with those girls. Ate so much and talked so much. My favourite pastime. And I discovered that I say the word 'like' a lot (thanks for pointing that out Car). So I'm trying to like cut back.

We sold cookies today for fundraising (dragon boat). And counting the money we raised from last week and everything people donated from church, we raised a grand total of $48 000! Amazing. I helped bake mocha banana chocolate chip muffins (long name, I know). Finally used the oven at home for the first time since moving in (9 months)! Really yummy. Half of the first batch got eaten by family and friends and ME. So I had to make a second batch. Stayed up till 2am making the second batch. Dozed on and off while waiting for the muffins to rise. So today, even downing 2 cups of coffee didn't help much. Fortunately, our practice session got cancelled due to heavy rains. Apparently there was one boat out in Stanley but it was half sinking due to the rain and choppy conditions. Glad for the opportunity to get some rest, went home and took a 2 hour nap. But nervous about one less practice. Next Sunday is our last session before the race! Can't wait:)
