Life @ UBC

Not much events I had joined since I was in UBC last August, but I think it is somehow worthwhile to write a short post to share with u guys...


This photo was taken in a restaurant called "Tropika" in Robson Street. You may think there is nothing special about this kangkung belacang, but it was indeed the first kangkung I found in Vancouver and it cost me 12 Canadian Dollars!!! Robson Street is the "center" where all those branded cloth outlets come together in Vancouver: Armani, Guess, FCUK, Zara... Perhaps that's why it cost me so much for that kangkung belacang. One more thing to mention is that all the branded cloth outlets I mentioned above are cheap in Vancouver, as cheap as 路边摊(during promotion).

It is a photo taken in AuBar. It is my very first time to go into such place and most probably it would be the last time as well. It is not that it s**ks, just I don't belong there. Anyway, I had a lot of fun there.

Waoh, X-men Origin was taking its scene in UBC!!! The person you saw in this photo is a stand-in actor trying to perform an action scene. The background building is Buchanan Building. (Masih ingat Buchanan? Masih ingat Kerana Manisnya Epal? Itulah Buchanan!!! Adakah saya betul, Cikgu Loh???)

A bigger view of the scene used in X-men Origin.

This is a match between UBC Thunderbird team and Taiwan Volleyball team. Taiwan team was the winner in this game.

Aha, this is an event that I am going to take part in this Sunday. Storm the wall!!! Believe it or not, it is the biggest campus event across north America!!! It is an annual event by UBC and the best thing is that I am part of this great event!!! This wall is 10 feet high and every member in the team has to climb up the wall with the help of his team mates. There is nothing for us to step on except for our team mates' shoulders. Here is a link about a fantastic guy crossing the wall without anyone's help.

Here is the event that I joined about two weeks ago. It is called as "Design a Sustainable World". Sustainable is a big issue here and basically our design is aimed to improve the water quality in Gaza Strip. Although we were not the winner in this competition, we really had a lot of fun building this model and we were very proud of it!!!

This is the group photo with my group members. Great job, guys!!!
