the yankeeeeeeeesss!!!

wahaha. okay and i thought that it was btdt with new york.. but nope, they followed me here to toronto! hahah.

so yesterday was a pretty interesting day! it started off with someone stomping on my foot so hard that i was so sure that both my shoe and my toe was going to break. =( wait, that's not interesting - that was PAINFUL!) lol. after that i limped to class... and then after class, andrea and i raced over to the quad (altho we stopped at a few shoe stores to see if i could find a replacement pair - fyi, we were unsuccessful, lol.) to find and meet the riSEXc people.. we then we collected our tickets for the yankees vs blue jays game and started off on our walk to the rogers centre (which was about a 25 minute walk at a decently fast-ish man-sized-step kind of speed).



yes yes. it's official hahaha, the blue jays suck.. and the yankees rule! but that's not the only reason why i was rooting for them! hahah. it was quite funny how all the exchange students somehow automatically started cheering for the blue jays... some sort of imported and embedded loyalty i reckon =p but nope. not for me! there i was amongst about 100 imported toronto fans, cheering for the yankees. damn proud i tell you! hahaha.

well, lots more interesting/funny things did occur through the hour and a half we were there (btw, the hour and a half only saw us through til the end of the 4th inning - which is testament to the speed of progression in baseball.. haha). here are some pics and i'll explain along the way:


i found this guy to be incredibly funny! there he was, in the middle of the game yakking away on his cell, standing up no matter - half blocking our view... it must've been awkward standing like that for the period of time that he did... it just struck me as strange and pretty humourous too... lol!

THEN!


see the cop? hahhaha. this bit was both weird AND funny. one of the ryerson guys (i'm not sure if he was on exchange or if he was a local) was throwing beer bottles from up in the stands. see, we were seated on the top top top tiers (hence the cheap ass tickets)... and altho i wasn't even aware that someone was throwing bottles coz i didn't hear the smash, the police and staff marshalls came up to our tier and asked the guy to leave. hahahahah. it was quite a scene, yet it felt really foreign to watch. i only figured out that he was a ryerson guy when we left the stadium and then saw him walking along with our large group to the after party.. lol.


okay... then here's two more photos:


i was really amazed at just how big the field was... as in, it was big enough to shock me, but small enough to fit inside the stadium and for us to actually see the ball from where we were sitting - that bit was awesome. =)

and lastly...

one of me for the memories sake. =)


and that just about sums up our trip to the baseball! hahaha. the after party however, was absolutely mad. hahahah. it was great getting to meet all those new ppl from everywhere in the world! it just makes me feel like the world is getting smaller and smaller, coz everyone seems to have travelled to a really really far away place... and then brought a bit of that place back to where we are... so then i / you get to learn about all these different places in the world without having been there before... lol, am i making any sense at all? hahahah. =p as usual with canadian parties, it was beer beer beer and all the shbang which accompanies the canadian definition of a "good time"... hahah. altho i must say that i am strongly convicted in my belief that i will have lung cancer by the time i get back to perth - purely based on the fact that passive smoking is absolutely unavoidable over here! and the irony of the situation just keeps hitting me everytime i turn on the tv... hahah. coz the tv is filled with and infiltrated with green messages... yet everytime you walk along the street, it's a contradiction embedded into society and culture! it's actually quite amusing! -altho, i must admit that the amusement does end when i think about the detriment of my health in the long run. hahahahahah. but oh well, i'll leave that worry to another day! =p overall, the night was interesting - and yes i did get to play pool (i was absolutely dyyyyinggg to play pool over the weekend), so i'm happy heheh. =))

annnnnywwayyyy! it's time to go... i think i've been getting back into the bad habit of sleeping late again. nooooooo. =(

must sleep early.

hahahah. =p

tata!

luv,
pheebs.
