Dodgeball Playoffs & Snow Boarding

Dodgeball Playoffs with the Coquitlam Dodgeball League (17th of December, 2008)

It's hard to keep a straight face when you're playing against teams with team names such as--

Fog Duckers.

Coq Dodgers.

(Coq = short for Coquitlam)

National Pornographic.

And a personal favourite,

Dodgy Style.

Not sure it helps that our team is called PORK...

Which in both cases, probably weren't the reason why we weren't even mildly close to winning...

But we sure had a ton of fun!!

Dodgeball is a super fun sport for sure. Everyone's a good sport (most of the time.. we get some bad apples here and there) and the game just has a great atmosphere in itself.

Team Pork!!


Crazy action on the court.


Slightly more crazy action.

High fives at the end of each games.


L-R: Courtney, Tommy, Me, Mark, Lawrence, Shawn & Kirsten.


Me & Courtney.

With Shawn.


The whacky boys.

The finals:

(which we... were so close to being in........ sort of.... not quite.... okay fine, not even close)

The Ball's Axe... 2 time defending champs.

Versus...


Strangers with Candy.... import from the Vancouver Dodgeball League.

And the winner?

The Ball's Axe!!.... again.


And it's off to Boston Pizza for beers and pizza!

No beers for me though.

'Twas a great fun night!! Regardless of us piglets under performing.

Snow Boarding @ Cypress (19th of December, 2008)

First timer over here!

So it's not a surprise that I came home with swollen knees and a sore bum.

All geared up and ready to rock & roll!


Up on Cypress!


With Erik.


On the chairlift.


Brrrr.


Poser in the house.

Oh, yeah.


That's what I'm talking about. Uh.


Erik Hamburger.


My favourite pictureee.

After that day, I am officially a master LEAFER!! Haha.

Next time, I'll own the slopes with carving ;)

Bwahahah!

Okay, gotta go now.

Am in the executive lounge (thanks to Erik's SUPER ELITE status) at the airport which is closing in 15 minutes (boooo) so I gotta run.

On my way to hit MexicoooOOooo!!!!

Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La

Fill the school with gasoline,
Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La!

Light a match and throw it in,
Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La!

Watch the school burn down to ashes,
Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La!

Ain't it fun to play with matches,
Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-Laaaaaaaaaa!!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ALL!

HAVE A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRR :))

PS, May not be blogging when I'm down in.... MEXICOOOO FOR THE NEW YEARSSSS!!

ARRRRRIIIIBBAAAAAA ;)

PPS, But I probably will.

Big and Chunky!

Gonna admit it...

I am guilty of watching Madagascar 2 AND liking it.

As kiddy as it is, it makes me feel all happy and well, like a kid again (hence, it being "kiddy" as I've mentioned).

GOSHDARNITTTTT---

GARGH!!!

Sorry, I'm just so annoyed because it's awful hard to type with my keyboard right now....

I'm going to admit to another silly thing I managed to put myself into again.

Just this afternoon, I got very excited in drinking coke that I clumsily spilt it ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD.

I am such a doofus.

Now my spacebar is all sticky and gross. It so difficult to type!!

I am, however, grateful, that I can actually type though. But, boy, if I don't get this fixed soon, I'll be having major biceps by the time I finish this post.

Er... okay, I've officially succeeded into straying completely off topic very quickly... back to what I was ORIGINALLY going to blog about--

So, as kiddy as the movie is to most of you, I enjoyed it.

And I especially enjoyed one of their soundtracks:

BIG AND CHUNKY!!

It's awesome, you HAVE to listen to this:



CHUNKY CHUNKY CHUNKY!!!!!

PLUMPY PLUMPY PLUMPY!!!!

Love it.

Another random post. Will be back with more very soon :)

Bush Whacking, Giants Hockey Game and Goin' Nuts for Doughnuts

Bush Whacking (15th December, 2008)

Clarification:

Bush:-

1. Not the President Bush.
2. Not the bush you boys are thinking of.
3. Not the bush you girls are thinking of.
4. Bush as in the FOREST but more specifically, "tree".

Whacking:-

1. Not beating.
2. Not hitting.
3. But chopping.

Conclusion?

Tree chopping.

In other words?

GETTING A CHRISTMAS TREE, CANADIAN STYLEEEE!!


The happy bush whacker.


The grumpy bush whacker. Haha. I look kinda scary actually.


Bush whacking action.


The poser. Pretty useless to the "whacking" part of bush whacking.


Bush whacked.


Posing with the whacked bush.


Max, witness to the whacking of the bush.


Are you quite annoyed with my bush whacking commentary yet?

I know I am, haha.


Clipping and trimming the bush. Okay, fine. Christmas tree.




With Granny. Our hard labour (mostly Erik's for the- oh you know... and mine for decorating!) just for Granny.


Me and Granny now.

And that's that for my very first bush whacking experience!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now, my FIRST hockey game!!

The Giants Vs. the Broncos @ PNE (16th December, 2008)


Caught in the action.




The giants were clearly dominating.


Me & Erik.


L-R: Dennis (the Birthday boy), Ayumi (his girlfriend), Matt, Ian & Me.


Outside the worst late night Chinese restaurant. I'll save the owners a bit of face & won't say the name of the place. But the food is pretty disgusting.


Us all again!


3 pictures in a row without Erik, haha. Here's one for him. We all just don't like him that's why.


Me, Erik & Matt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you ready to DO SOME DOUGHHNNUTTTSSS??


Check this out:


Hahahah.

Ca-ray-zeh!!

It was fun... until I got all giddy and felt like puking.

After that, we played in the snow somemore!


Shoveling the sidewalk. Erik's lucky to have Malaysian labour import right here. And FOC too.


Idiots who like freezing in the cold.




Wheeeee :)

It's cold as ever right now (and coldest it's ever been in BC) but heck it, it's too pretty to complain!

Alrighty, will be back with a ton more of updates, coming your waaay!

-AR

Okay, I'd have to say that this post would probably be a mix of the most random things I've been doing for the past few days.

Well, I normally do pretty darn random things in general but when you have a Korean import who-claims-he's-not-a-camwhore-but-really-is-a-big-one with you, your randomization would pretty much be documented.

Picking up the Korean import from the airport:


The wonder of Apple. I can write in Korean without even knowing what the characters mean!
Direct translation of 햄버거: HAMBURGER!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we have the major camwhoring session with Erik's ridiculously expensive LV bag.

He claims it was all my fault that I got him into buying designer merchandise but really, I merely nudged out the inner material girl in him.

I have to say though.. it's a really decent laptop bag right there.

It isn't exactly the most thrifty thing he could buy but when you step into the casino for 5 minutes and win a ridiculous amount of money AND smartly leave right after (and not stay like some greedy goofballs who end up leaving with zero or negative winnings), I guess you are entitled to spend ridiculously too.

Here we gooo:






Pardon my enthusiasm. My poses are far from flattering, don't mind me.


But neither are his, hahahah. I'm so mean.


No idea what I was trying to do here.


Lacoste famous photographic shot! You LV betrayer.


Failed attempt to be a Lacoste model.... It could be the photographer's fault though.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

People in North America get pretty excited about decorating their house during the festive season.

During Halloween, I saw some pretty crazy stuff going on.

Moving figures, flying ghouls, massive amount of pumpkins, witches, spiders and all that crazy scary stuff.

As Christmas draws closer, people swap their witches and ghosts for reindeers and christmas lights.

And it's quite a treat to witness these spectacular decor!

The one who I personally think deserve the award for going completely all-out in christmas decor isssss:


Santa's Home. It's sooo pretty... you can't see it but the lights are all twinkling and figures were moving! It's like a mini christmas carnival right there.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just the other day, on the 13th, it snowed again!

Right after work, Erik came by and we started playing around in the snow outside Hapa.

It was really fun!

I know Canadians are probably sick of the snow and think about safety issues regarding driving and the annoying coat of ice that covers the car and possibly spoils many things, I simply bask in the glory on the falling flakes ;)


Grabbing my gloves so we can start a proper snowball fight!


As you can see, I wasn't wearing the most suitable shoes. Well, I didn't very well know that it was going to snow when I headed out for work!


Erika.

The Malaysian in Winter Wonderland:

I was pretty excited so don't mind my lousy reporting skills.

And Ju requested a video of the snow fall because she, as I do, loves snow!

When you're living in a country with hardly a drop in temperature of 30 degrees celcius, you tend to get a little excited with snow.

Gotta say, Erik was a real sport in putting up with a jakun.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following pictures were of 3 stooges who were either very drunk or just... plain silly.

Erik included these pictures in when he sent me the rest of the pictures so either he accidently put it in or "accidently" put it in.

Either way, it's going up!

Stooges with Beer Goggles:
(according to them, looking through them makes women a whole lot better looking)


Stooge #1: Erik.


Stooge #2: Ian.


Stooge #3: Andrew.

LOL.

They are hilarious.

And just a couple of days ago, the boys (beer goggle boys) and a couple more of their crew, Reon and Brian, came over to Hapa to have dinner.

This is what they left for me:


Hahahahah!!


And that's Ian's hotline right there.

There you have it!

A bunch of random events in one post!

Probably won't be the last bunch. Been doing quite a bit of crazy stuff lately.

Hopefully can squeeze in some snowboarding before having christmas celebrations and my Mexico trip ;)


The north star.

Until next time!
