An Eventful Month
February has been quite an eventful month so far. We had a very snowy start to the Chinese New Year, which coincided with my birthday day this year. Chris and my sisters treated me to Cfood that night, then a bunch of my friends celebrated with me at The Sultan’s Tent, complete with a belly dancer, later that weekend.
The cold and snowy weather continued to the following week, but apparently that wasn’t enough to stop a guy from riding his motorcycle! I wish I’d taken a pic. That week I was invited and then uninvited to the Eason Chan concert, which I heard was pretty good. For V-day Chris and I decided to go out for dinner the day after to avoid the crowds. That night she surprised me with a homemade steak and lobster dinner! Very impressive and delicious. I had more seafood the following night at The Doctor’s House in Kleinburg. We walked into a virtually empty restaurant and was seated right by the window with a beautiful view of the adjoining chapel. I had tiger shrimps which came with Oreo-sized scallops! Even in the cold and dark of night Kleinburg looked quite nice. It’s only 20 minutes from my place so it’d definitely make a good destination for a bike ride there. I can’t wait until the weather gets warmer.
This past weekend I accidentally took a chunk of my middle finger off with a putty knife. Yes I screamed like a girl. Yes I need a letter opener. Luckily that was with my right hand. Because days later, I used my other hand, with all fingers intact, to bowl a 223 at our weekly league. I can’t quite remember if that was my personal high - it was either 218 or 238.
I hope it was just a coincidence that the lunar eclipse happened that night, cause I don’t want to wait for 2 years before breaking this high score. I took my first attempt at photographing the moon and have noticed 2 interesting points. 1) It is a lot brighter than you think so you don’t need a good fast lens to photograph it, which is a good thing because 2) its movement is very noticeable when you’ve zoomed up close to it.
