Fatum: Holy hell that sounds crazy! I haven't experienced
anthing like that. Closest was when my cousin and I borrowed (read:
stole) our aunts car when we were in San Fran and drove up to
Seattle. It was so cold and we weren't prepared for it. And our car
wouldn't start...at first...only took 30 secs to get it going
again. We were young punks of 19 back then. Although we still
haven't learned our lesson. Last year we borrowed (read: again
stole) our other cousins car in Sydney and drove to brisbane and
back just to see if we could. yes, not too bright. fun though!
Littlestream:
Yep, its that hands on approach that interests me about ryerson. i
did a mass comm dip at ngee ann and was told that the program is
quite similar in certain aspects. Accent wise...i think i'll be
fine 
11 degrees is warm for you??!! I'm screwed! But still want to
go! And i'm 23! does that count me as young? Please say yes!!
Where are you guys currently at?
okay, u qualify for risk-taking. sounds good to me but
whatever you do, u gotta take some caution too eh?
it can be really cold. some days it hit...READS....minus
40 (wind chill factorered in). otherwise it's usually sub
zero. but u know what? if u r not outdoors for long, i
am usually in a "regular" (clothes i bought from sg) and a GOOD
winter jacket/coat. so, u see, i don't layer at all!!!!
like i said, my car is heated. i get off, walked to the
office, office is heated. or if it's not the office, the
mall. the mall is well heated. so, really, nothing much
to worry.
but if u know u gonna be outdoor and if u take public transport,
then yah, u wanna bundle up. 'cos waiting for a bus for 5
minutes can seem like forever. the transport system downtown
is not bad. but where i live? the interval can be like
15 minutes or half an hour and if low peak, it's like AN
HOUR!!!!
so, again, it depends where u gonna live too eh? so, check
around. i strongly suggest u contact this yeow guy in
facebook. in fact, he organizes the annual singapore toronto
film festival. if u r into this form of arts, u may wanna rub
shoulders with him.
check out the unis. decide what u wanna do. anything
learnt is still ammunition for you. but u wanna do something
u like, believe in yourself and pursue your dream. once u hv
decided on the uni, then u can talk about accommodation and the
rest. u can take it from there and we will help with whatever
info/knowledge we have.
fatum? well, can i say he is ex-canuck?
kekeke.... me? i am still in toronto......for easy
reference. :)
