Woke up this morning thinking that it'd be great if I'm able to record my life here in Montreal. Although it's been 2 months since I first arrived , but Better be late than not...
The day started with Chloe (my dear roomie) waking me up at 8.00a.m. She always have early classes so it's great! I have a life alarm clock! However I did not completely lug myself out of the bed until 9.00a.m. Well, 2 more dreams from 8.00 to 8.30 and a lovely conversation on skype with my Dear Jiejie from 8.30-9.00a.m. pretty much explain it.
I am surprised how my life is still quite unorganized now that it's been 2 months already. Everyday schedule seems to be different! And what I meant by this is that I can never fix the order of washing up, making breakfast, and checking the news. So today what I did was making breakfast first while brushing my teeth and checking the news at the same time. I'm amazed at how increasingly I'm able to multi task now. ^^
So when everything is done, it's almost 10.30a.m. and it's time for school! And now it's time to explain my post title, it's called disneyland because I really felt like I'm in those disneyland movie this morning as I walked pass the street of my residential area seeing squirrels and humming birds. It's fall now so the trees are either all yellow in colour or has no leave left hanging onto the branches. Hope my limited description can somehow help you to picture it. Waking to the bus stop takes me 10 minutes and it takes another 15 minutes for me to reach school i.e. Mcgill University ( the first ranked university in Canada as of now). So it's 11.00a.m. by the time I reach, time for some serious work now. A long day is awaiting me!

First class done for the day and here I am to share this incredibly nice japanese song with you guys. I'm usually not a fan of Jap songs, but this song is just amazing. trust me, have a try listening to it!
"手纸” by angela aki.
The meaning of the lyrics goes by:
English Translation:
Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?
For me who's 15 years old
There are seeds of worries I can't tell anyone
If it's a letter addressed to my future self,
Surely I can confide truly to myself
Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present
Dear you,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-year-old you
If you continue asking what and where you should be going
You'll be able to see the answer
The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow
Now, please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I'm hurt
But I'm living the bittersweet present
There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing
Seems like I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
Please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
No matter era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present
Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
I wish you happiness

Romaji Lyrics
I love those singers who can capture people's heart through their songs. And the lyric is awesome, I wish I've had the chance to listen to it when I was 15 year old, and work harder to go into Harvard University. AHAHAH, kidding. I mean, I'm glad that I've worked decently hard to achieved where I am now. But of course, without my family and friends, I wouldn't have gone this far. There is still a long way to go in my life, I know this is for sure. The only question remaining is, how I want to live it. And for some reason, I am really thankful that I actually have the chance to go for exchange. Which somehow opened my eyes, that now I know the world is not only confined to Malaysia, Australia or Singapore. There's much more beyond that. There's so much in this world which I have yet to understand and explore. Understanding how it works and putting myself into these mechanism is the point.
