Day 60- December 14th Nope,it wasn't planned.I didn't plan to stay here for 60 days.It's a wonderful coincidence,ain't it?Hmm,to think that I've been here for 60 days already!I'll be going back tonight,and so I'm packing up today.........the list of things I've been doing today in preparation for my departure goes on. We all discussed about the christmas gatherin on MSN today.Boy,it sure is hard to communicate with so many people,especially since the guys have such short attention spam,no,i mean,the girls too,ahaha,the whole gang! I didn't know pinky and tofu were no longer together.It was "last last friday's" thing.Heh,I didn't know at all,but it's okay,although no one really knows the reason other than tofu himself.We can support both of them,after all,we're a weird gang. Ahhhh,snowball's parents just wouldn't let her go to the christmas gathering...... Their sooo strict,kinda reminds me of my own parents sometimes....^^.Maa,it's all for our safety anyway,and I'm hoping Dad lets me go to both CF and the gathering. Since it's day 60,and since it's the last day of my trip,I guess this blog will stop being used after I get back to Malaysia.It has served its purpose.I don't really feel anything,because I've started to find faults in the layout. (^_^). Kinda cold blooded huh.........*voice trails off* I was having a chat with Ron today.Well,during the conversation,we somehow started talking about McDonald's and working part-time there.I learnt that they wouldn't hire unless we work for a term of 3 months or more.Gosh,I can't get money like this!!!!!And ,Ron was telling me that PMR essays were marked according to our grammar and vocabulary.I'm so dead,not only I don't have points,I don't have grammar and vocabulary too.Normally,I have sufficient points but the grammar I use is primary school standard,and my points always save the day.However,this time,I not only have insufficient points,I also have terrible grammar and vocabulary.If I don't get straight As,I'm done for.
Day 59- December 13th It's tuesday and it's also the second last day I'm here,in Canada.I'll be heading back tommorow,and so today was used to watch lots and lots of anime and read lots and lots of manga.I'm reading One Piece! It was superb!I love it! I just got to know today that an entrance fee would be collected for CF.I'm not too sure if I wanna go on Saturday,Sunday or both days. We ate the chicken and desert today.Boy,I loved the desert!It was these 3 little cakes,cakelletes I guess?Hehe,I really loved 'em,if only I had the money to buy 'em in Malaysia!!! =3 *gambatte,save up!!* <--but not for trivial things like cakes ....^^"
Day 58- December 12th I finished reading Devil & Devil and alot of questions are bugging me. I went to put the laundry into the dryer,but as soon as I stepped outta the apartment,I realised I forgot the key. I rammed the door and hit and yelled alot but my brother didn't hear me.
Well,after a long time,my bro came down.And what did he do?He scolded me.He said I was the one who didn't know how to use the intercom. I jammed the phone. He didn't hear the any phone ring.I should've told him I was going out. Well well,I'm quite sure it wasn't me who didn't know how to use the intercom,but maybe the intercom wasn't working! And,the reason I didn't tell him was because he was busy?! And, the only 2 things I did wrong was forgetting the key and not telling him I was going out but of course that was for a good cause!Anyway,I was the one who had to stand outside! And what's his problem?! I'm wondering how did he know I was not at home if the phone didn't ring. Sometimes my brother bullies me so much that I actually have dreams that he bullied me.Just yesterday I dreamt that he scolded me unreasonably and when I awoke I found tears on my face.And the day day before yesterday,I dreamt he was unreasonable yelled at me in Mid Valley.And another day I dreamt something else.All of which I was getting scolded for nothing. And so I was so upset I started crying like anything,and then he shows his sympathy and starts comforting me. Bleh.I don't know what's going on anymore! Sis came back and she brought grilled salmon and baked/grilled chicken breast with her.Oh,there was desert too!!We're eating Salmon tonight.The rest is for tommorow.
Day 57- December 11th As scheduled,we went skiing at Chicopee (Kitchener) today.Natalie,Kimi,my sister,Kenny and I went together!Natalie went snow boarding and the rest of us went skiing.Kimi is a pro,and my sister and Kenny are second-timers,so that makes me the only first timer. Wow,we took the lessons,and it was cool!I was terrible at the lessons,because I couldn't stop sliding,and I was feeling quite terrible,but after the lessons,I cautght up pretty good!I was reallllly happy! Well,the first time I fell was when we got off the chair lift,I panicked and fell.Then the next two times I fell because I wasn't paying attention. After lunch,the chair lift had to spoil,so it was only the easiest hill left.I went up a few times and down a few times and got bored pretty fast. Well,after the whole thing,we went back to Toronto.
Day 56- December 10th Sister's birthday today.We went to have Dim Sum and met with a few of her friends.Then,we went to Waterloo. The dim sum was great! Anyway,we went by Greyhound.We met up with Ai Lin (sis's ex-housemate),and discussed where we were gonna stay for the night.Before we knew it,it was near the time of our appointment with the rest.That said,we walked to the University,only to find that we were slightly early.Anyway,after we met Michelle,we were to go Downtown to this Hotpot place.We waited for the bus but it never came,so we took the cab instead.Good for me,because I forgot to bring my transfer,so I escaped the blunder I made. The hotpot was an "all-you-can-eat" and it was superb!I had soooo much boiled beef!!!!! Yum!
Day 55- December 9th I was awaken by these loud THUDS and WHAMS and BAMS.I got outta bed and drew the curtains.What I saw amazed me.Outside,was covered in thick,white snow.It really suprised me,because it hasn't snowed in days.I was actually quite worried ,pondering the fact that I wouldn't be able to go skiing and snowboarding. It appeared that the loud noises were frozen snow falling and heating the ground,and the wind blowing the doors close. Hehe,no one to blame this on.XD I'm gonna have dinner with sis and her friends tonight.I'll be the only one going ,since bro doesn't wanna go.Hmm,she said to meet her downtown.I better hurry up.
Day 54- December 8th Mum called and woke me up.I was pretty upset and was really really quite rude to her.I should remember to apologize the next time she calls. I did my laundry and washed the dishes.Hmmm..and watched anime and read manga.Devil and Devil is a realllly funny manga. -period- Yup,I can't remember.Oh,now I remember,I finished half a box of cookies.(I had the first half yesterday)......to think that the suggested serving is 2 cookies. Hmmm,I've eaten way too much...but they were yummmmmmy...>_<
Day 53- December 7th Nothing Special...Ah,awrite,I'll just spit the truth.I've been procrastinating and well,I can't remember anything now.>_<
Day 52- December 6th Ah,finally reached today.XD What do I mean?Well,I've been writing 5 days worth of stories ya know,not including today. XD So today,I read Kucha Mucha Daisuki's side stories,Get Chu,Suki shite Sadish (I quite like this one)....and that's all I guess? Heh,I'm done.Gonna go take a bath,and then watch some anime or read manga. My bro just came in and reminded me to take a brake.
Day 51- December 5th Heh,glad sis was able to wake up on time.I decided to watch School Rumble.As expected,I wasn't really touched or anything.I'm starting to think I'm a romantic who loves tragic stories......... read on and you'll think the same. I only watched till episode 12.Actually,it's kinda like the second time I'm watching,because I can't remembered where I stopped. ^^" Anyway,for those who dunno what School Rumble is,well,you can say it's something like Azumanga Daioh. I guess...XD So anyway,I got bored...and I decided to read shoujo...*blush*.I read the whole bunch sis had :Mucha Kucha Daisuki,Hiatari Ryouko..... And sis came back,and we finished Fantastic Children. By the way,Mucha Kucha Daisuki ended reaaaaaallllly sad,the girl died (thought the whole plot seemed so familiar,and in the end,I realised it was something like the book I read "A walk to Remember")Well,I didn't really like the main characters,and how the story and their love started,but the ending was very touching.I mean,the starting started with the main female character,a country girl who hated Tokyo people,but when after a Tokyo guy kissed her,she fell for him straight away.That's just so stupid,but later on they cleared the story by saying that they were actually childhood friends who shared their first kiss,and were actually talking about "marrying" <--you know,children kinda talk which always happens in manga....^^,but they both forgot about it,until awhile later. Anyway,the main thing I don't think I like is,the guy was such a jerk at the beginning,kissing a stranger,and that stranger just fell for him after that jerk from Tokyo kissed her.That's just so STUPID. But the again,in Shoujo,this happens alot.I'm beginning to understand I guess.I hope I don't get affected and start getting my principles of love wrong.....(^_^) Oh gosh,I got sooo off topic.Anyway,Fantastic Children's ending was a "happy ending" but it could've been happier.The ending was somewhat like Kumou no Mukou,Yakusoku no Basho,where the they forget what happened,all their love for each other.All they feel is the presence.I guess that suits the episode's title: "XXX,a new beginning",I can't remember,but it implied that there was an end,and a new beginning. Anyway,I'm not really happy with that kinda ending,but if you think about it,if they made them remember,I'd be the first to complain that it's stupid,eventhough I'd like that kinda ending (refer to Mai HiME). Heheh,I'm hard to please,eh?
Day 50- December 4th Ne,did ya realise?10 days till my departure to Malaysia via Hong Kong. Hehe,I just thought of something,I'll be able to look out for Edison Chen again! hehehe,Jyodan dayo(just a joke),I'm not realllllly into Edison,it was just for fun in school,since I wasn't really in a mood to study for PMR then. Yeah,I'm worried alright.I'm not sure if I can get straights like what I so confidently said.If I had worked hard the month before it maybe possible,but I don't know why,I just didn't feel like jamming information in. Heh.It wasn't even because I was tangled in love,or obsessed with anime or manga.I was just....plain lazy I guess.And I had nothing to do other than study,so I just picked manga to read. ^^" Yeah,excuses.Although I feel that's the truth,it's not gonna save me. Okay,so today is the first day we spend in Canada without Mum. Mum's on the aeroplane,huh......XD...But since I'm writing this on December 6th,she's back home already.I don't even havta say the 14 letter word,you already know....procrastination. XD Well,"today" I helped with the washing up,cooking,making bed.....and such.After dinner ,sis and I continued watching Fantastic Children.Boy,it was weird,they pile lots of weird scenes and information,and they don't give you a clue about what's happening.By the time we closed on to the core of the story,it was sooo late,around 1:30a.m.,sis needed to go to work the next day,so we both set our alarm clocks. (^^)
Day 49- December 3rd Mum went back tonight.Well,we took a cab to the airport,but to save on expenses,we took the shuttle bus and subway back.Unfortunately,we missed the bus we wanted to take.We were waiting for the shuttle to St.Lawrence,but when we stepped out,the bus was to Kipling.And so sister asked the driver if the one to St.Lawrence was coming,and he said "soon".And so we waited,but after some time,and after checking the schedule,we came to a conclusion that it wasn't coming soon,probably coming in an hour.Sister was saying we should go in and wait another hour,and as she was advancing towards the door,the shuttle came,though it was to Kipling.Well,just a longer ride on the subway. (^_^)
Day 48- December 2nd Can't remember ler...^^"
Today is actually the 6th of December. T_____T Yep,right.Procrastination. Day 46- November 30th Still don't remember anything.Blame PROCRASTINATION. Watched Kumou no Mukou ,Yakusoku no Basho for the third time.Ended in a heated argument with my mum.Again. Day 45- November 29th Don't remember anything. Oh,right.I went through a mental breakdown.And I'm feeling bitchy now,and I don't feel like writing about it here.Refer to index8. Day 44- November 28th If you were to blame anything,blame my procrastination.I can't remember what happened and I'm in no mood to try to remember. Day 43- November 27th Sunday.Mum had to get the american ginseng so we went to China Town today. After we came back,Sis and I went clothes shopping at Yorkdale.And then we went to Loblaws to get bread and eggs,but ended up picking up pumpking pie and muffins. And,I had 5 outta 9 pumpkin pies. *guilty* Day 42- November 26th It's saturday and we're going shopping for winter boots.I already bought mine two years ago,so it's only my siblings who were looking for 'em. After the shoes,despite my brother's complaints and logical-suggestions,we walked to this square.There's supposed to be the ceremony of lighting the christmas lights.They were beautiful but we had to wait for soooo long before they would light the lights.Well,behind the square,there's a clock tower,and in front,there was this guy dressed as the Ice Queen or something,and with all the white make up,and the way the whole event took place (they put the guy on a board-like-machine,and they push him round,as he performs his "magical" fire-works.)I thought the whole process felt like Final Fantasy 8 - when Irvine was at the clock tower,ready to sharp-shoot Edea.Okay,another one of my otaku-ideas. We had dinner at the Korean place we went last time -Ho Su.I had the same thing-bibim bop.Just love it! Oh,yea,I got to know that I had a confirmed ticket back ,on the 14th.The other days are all still full,so I'm still on waiting list.I'm not even sure what I should wish for - To come back early or to come back late. To tell the truth,I don't wanna come back early,because I wanna go Snow Boarding and Skiing.Yes,snowboarding from Final Fantasy 7. Ahah,otaku-ness. But then again,I wanna go back,because Mel's going off and I wanna meet her,and there's a christmas gathering with tofu and gang and I wanna go to that one too.Plus,I wanna go hog the listening counter of tower records,Laruku here I come..........*voice trails off* Day 41- November 25th It's so weird.I still can't get Boys' N Girl outta my mind........(>_<)..kept reading it over and over again........argh...going crazy like this.. Aunty Felicia (Su Hong's Aunt) invited us over to have dinner.So,we took the Go-train over.Well,although my siblings said the Go-Train is just like the KTM Komuter in M'sia,I realised that the Go-Train was a double-decker. XD Well,Aunt Felicia is a great cook but she was working on Friday,so we ended up eating take-away food.XD We chatted about alot of things,from her trip to China to Working life in Canada.Well,she's a really nice lady that's why. Oh,yea,aunty's desert-black glutinous rice ,"o-chut-bi" in hokkien,was delicious,although mum said she didn't really fancy it.I had two bowls.Boy,am I greedy or what? Well,we left at 10 something,and ended up hom at around 12. Day 40- November 24th Wow it's the fourtieth day already.I had a dream yesterday.I dreamt that we were all on a trip/or we were attending boarding school,but what the heck,we were all just together. So Pei Xia(neighbour) and I were walking through a park,catching up on each other,and then I don't know why,but suddenly it was Siew Thong by my side,so anyway,the person walking in front was *don't ask me why,I don't even know this guy.=.=) Chan Jia Xiang....possibly the guy who ruined my book,refer to index 5...XD....And he was fat as usual *he doesn't read this so it's okay...XD* but his shoes were the size of a 4 year old,and it had this brand name on it,(I remembered!!But I can't seem to remember now....><).And the reason why I knew that was because my shoe fell off and I was picking it up with my toes and he turned and was like a 5 year old kid and was like "oh,you dropped your shoe,look at mine!!!!!".....yea,like a 15 year old acting as a 5 year old kid...I really must hate him so much..XD... Anyway,we had to pass this gardern,and everyone knows I hate plants and I hate flowers,and Pei Xia shoveled a big huge scary looking "preeety" flower in front of me and I was like "wahhhh!!!!> Today,it snowed for the FIRST TIME!!!!!Snow!!!Outside is covered with a layer of white!!!!!!!Reminds me of the quote from Boys Be... Something about sorrow,and happiness,all covered by the thick layers of snow............lalallala.....*voice trails off*
Day 39- November 23rd
Today,we spent the whole day watching FMP.And I started reading shoujo.I read Boys N Girls and I think I quite like it,except for the fact that the guy keeps toying with the girl's feelings. (<_<)
Hmm,nothing much happened,except that we had dinner together,and most of the things my family said was very anime/manga-like to me,and so I started relating them to the anime/manga and they all end up saying OTAKU.(fanatic)
Ah..poor me,but I guess I really am one.
Day 38- November 22nd
Sis is sick and so she took a day off work.She only rested for awhile but would deny it everytime I confront her.I actually am beginning to feel like she's enjoying her day off. (reminds me of me.I just love falling sick.)
She watched anime non-stop!!!!! Okay,maybe she did stop,but still!!!!!!!
But I did get my share.We watched Black Cat together,and then she went to watch FMP TSR..
And later in the afternoon,mum wanted to go to the dollar store so I tagged along.And when we stepped out,there were flurries!!!Sure it was freezing because I didn't expect such a strong wind but the trip wasn't all too bad.
Day 37- November 21st
Monday.I decided to make something using my hands and cardboard.And I made this photo frame thing.(remember 2005 Interact Club CHS were giving something like these out).
And I finished it.And we only watchedc 1 episode of Full Metal Panic!! and a bit of the 2nd episode.
(@@") I'm going crazy,watching FMP again.
Oh ya,we watched C.S.I .A few episodes of C.S.I actually.There was this girl who sort-of killed herself.She's a model and she's anorexic and bullimic.And she actually recorded all the calories intake and she weighs her shit. >_< ... I hoep I don't become like that....better stop making myself guilty.
It works like this for me. I love to eat and I enjoy eating.I live to eat. XD .But after eating,I feel guilty,and start eating things that would make me use the toilet,to sort of make everything I ate go out. (And that's what that girl was doing!!!!! I hope I don't go crazy like her)
Anyway,that's crazy and I was eating a full cup of blueberry-cheesecake-icecream as I watched that episode.Scary huh.
--- sis said I was only entitled to half a cup (according to the Nutrition Facts on the ice cream tub) but I ate a full cup. Gomen nasai!!! Wait,just who am I saying that to??Lol..Guilt ridden ---
Day 36- November 20th
Today is Sunday.And....we.............*pardon me,but I can't really remember*
--after reading snowball and midget's blogs....furball returns,with a slight idea of what happened on that faithful Sunday--
Today,we went to China Town.Mum had to do some chinese grocery shopping,after all,we're chinese who eat chinese food!You can't go to the western grocery looking for chinese groceries can ya?
So we took the Subway,and weirdly enough,it was packed!Packed with so many kids,and well,adults.We actually thought that maybe everyone was returning from church or something.We were wrong.
--adding a 'lil part here.The bottle was leaking and it wet my sister's bag and pants--
Okay,and so the story continues.We were wrong.As soon as we emmerged from the subway,we saw crowds of people,crowds and crowds of kids and their families.All the kids were sitting cross-legged on the tar road,waiting anxiously for I don't know what.It seems that there was a christmas parade.
How nice. =.= This made us walk to China Town,instead of taking the street car.And on the way I was grumbling about how great the parade was,and my sister said I was broadcasting. =_=
And so we reached China Town and did the Grocery Shopping.And because it was so heavy and the temperature was quite low,we took a different route back.This route suggests that we take a street car all the way to another Subway Station and from there we walk to the trains.But,we walk underground winds blocked,not as cold as outside.
And while mum made lunch at 3++ p.m (reminds me of the time I had lunch at around this time,just because mum wanted to buy ginger.Ginger!!!!It's ginger for goodness sake!!And in the end,I prefered it without ginger. X_x.Aha,brings back memories,late lunch)Anyway,after lunch,sis and I looked at the food calender(a calender with discount coupons and recipes on it) and the milk calender(a calender with recipes-on-how-to-use-dairy-products-in-your-cooking-baking-whatever in it)and then we looked at the shopping catalouge,then the art store catalogue..........*sound trails off*
Just then,Su Hong and Jo Wei came.So the threesome(including my sister),stood at the door and chatted,and I continued my "research". <--catalogyes,duh!
And we went to Loblaws,and got the Blueberry-cheesecake-icecream I saw in the catalogue.
And for dinner,we had mum's beef noodles.
And after that,I had blueberry-cheesecake-ice cream!!!!!!!!Wheee!!
Day 35- November 19th
Gosh.Procrastination takes effect.I havta write about what happened 5 days ago. (>_<).Saa,lemme try to rmbr what happened today.Maybe a calender would do some help.
Okay~.So the calender tells me it's Saturday today.
And today,we..........*still thinking*..............*can't remember,*...................*maybe the ammount of dots will represent how long I had been thinkin'*....................*bleh,better not,or the whole page would be filled with dots*.......
Oh!!Today we went to the St.Lawrence Market (last week it was closed).
We went in,and there were sooooo many stalls,it's supposed to be like the pasar we have at home,but they're not very much alike.
After shopping,we had lunch a level below the market.We had......Pumpkin pie crepe (basically crepe spreaded with pumpkin-pie-mix(something that looks like peanut butter),and then we had this *i dunno what,and I didn't ask what) brinjal-thingy-with-i-dunno-what-cheese-cream-thing-on-it-but-it-was-good,and stuffed potato(not really stuffed,because only the top was stuffed) with sour cream *oooh,love sour cream!!*,and cappucinno,and biscotti to go with coffee,and stuffed chicken (it's stuffed with pork).
And then we went to Dominion's and we went back home. *i think,or maybe nothing else worth remembering happened*
I was reading Hellsing Volume 7,I was just beginning,when mum shouted :"Ying,it's snowing~"
And I turned,drew the curtains back,and what I saw was fascinating.They may be flurries,like what the weather report said,but they were beautiful.
The flakes just swayed down,from some where above me,but from where I am,and because my eyes aren't as good as vampires,(excuse me,I think I've read too much Hellsing),all I can see,and feel,was that the snow flakes were appearing out of thin air,and just falling down,swaying left and right and left again,as the wind blew.It was kinda like rain,well,it is frozen rain drops,but,if you would imagine,looking up when it was raining,you'd realise that the rain sort of made a circle,and they were spiralling down on you.
Argh,I can't really describe it,but,well,if you don't get the picture,too bad,because I can't catch flurries on camera.
Anyway,the flurries got bigger and bigger,and now the whole window sill is coated with what seemed like frost,and the roofs of the other houses are coated with a shallow white.
There's something smoking on the left of my window.I wonder what it is,but from what I see,it's blowing up,and it's forcing the flurries with it.
And as I watched,winamp was playing a very soothing tune from Hachikuro,"Yotsuba no Kuroba",to be exact.It was the violin,and it was sooo soothing and the tune was soo good,that it actually made the flurries even more beautiful.And,it made flurry-watching(Like how Japanese have flower-watching X3) wonderfuly nice,and warm. <- ?!Warm?!It's freezing missy!
Anyway,it's the first flurries/snow I've seen in two years,so bare with me.
Saa,back to Hellsing.
Day 33- November 17th
According to the weather forecast,it we were supposed to have flurries yesterday night.I was sound asleep,and when I woke up,nothing was to be seen,nothing of snowflakes,at least.
I spent such a long time fixing the layout and putting it up,then making the "friends" page,along with all the tables and links,that when my brother came home,he told me we had flurries again,and I was like "what?!".Well,seems like mum saw it too.
The good thing is,that their just flurries!And,they can't really be considered as "the first snow".But if you think about it,flurries become bigger,heavier,and soon they become snow,so flurries are the first snow.Argh!!I don't wanna upset myself anymore.
So,the hellsing site is up,and so is the friends site,I'm still not sure what to do with the hellsing layout.I mean,I haven't found anything to be unsatisfied with,with the Kumou No Mukou,Yakusoku No Basho site.
Day 32- November 16th
Spent the whole day making and fixing the layout.
Day 31- November 15th
Spent the whole day making and fixing the layout.
Day 30- November 14th
We went out to do our bank accounts.Wheee!I've got a bank account and can redraw money from the ATM machine!!!!!!!!
Too bad I can't use it in M'sia. (>.<)
After that,Mum and I went on a walk.This time we headed west instead of East.On our way,we bumped into this black lady.She was dressed weirdly and she was chanting something.She looked like she was doing a ritual.
We saw another library.Toronto's libraries are located very close to each other.But,they don't have separate floors for separate age groups.So,it can get pretty noisy.
I asked the librarian for Howl's Moving Castle.She said it was pretty popular and I'd have to order it.Being a non-member,she asked if I had anything with my name and address on it.Unfortunately,I didn't have anything like that.Too bad for me.
We had my home-made sandwich for lunch!! Whee! Wanna know what I put inside?Well,there was smoked beef,ham,tomatoes,oregano and cheese!I used so much cheese that my sister was shocked to find that only half a bar of cheese was left.....*snickers*
It's Sunday and on Sunday we go out to eat.We wanted to go to this place called Demetre,which was on the same street,but further east.Well,like I said,the streets are really long ,so we took the bus.
Well,it's Sunday and the day pass entitles a family of dunno how many children and how many adults to travel for only 8 bucks,however,the bus doesn't sell those,so I had to go to the subway station to buy it.....that made me hungrier than ever.
We got on the bus and got of when we saw the shop.However,we didn't notice one thing......The shop was closed........=_=
So we got on the bus again,and went further east,and finally we reached our destination.That time,it was close to noon.
I guess that fact didn't affect anyone but me.I love food and I love to eat,but I hate to wait.And,we waited so long,so by the time we were inside,I was preety fidgety already.And finally when the food arrived,I ate like a person who hasn't eaten in a few days,and stole..or rather robbed everyone else's food of their plates.And thus,I earned the royal title "food robber".
On our way back from the restaurant,or rather,cafe,the bus we took was completely empty! And so ,I was telling my mum and sister that maybe that wasn't a real bus,and it was hi-jacked by some terrorist,and when I said "now",we had to jump.........yada yada,the usual crap. XD
We went to these Market only to find that it was closed,but opposite it,there was this antique sale thing.It's like alot of people put their booths there and they start selling old thing they no longer need.We saw this coffin which had a lable that said "there's REALLY nothing inside,please do not open,if you need assistance,ASK".
And so I was going on and on about how that was Alucard's (from Hellsing)coffin...yada yada yada.
We saw these dolls too....eek!Creepy,and I went on and on about how those loooked like Homonculus,and stuff.
And all those crap made my sister call me Otaku again.
After all the shopping,we went home,and mum made omelettes for us!The omelettes were really colourfule and had alot in it!I was still in a crazy mood so I snapped alot of pictures of it.
After that,I kinda wore out and there was nothing better to do,so I lied down and listened to myu iPod for a whole hour.I think I'm going nuts.
For dinner,we went to this Korean Restaurant called Ho Su-direct translation...lake water.
I had this thing my sister recommended I try,it's called...dolsot beef bibim bop.It was yummy!Delicious!It was something like M'sia's claypot chicken rice,but this one tasted different!!It's just the concept I tell ya,the concept!
When I got home,I realised something,my tummy was bulging and so firm....which wasn't a good thing.I looked like a four-month pregnant lady,and I had lots of black heads all over my face.
Ewww,and so the battle begin,between my pimples and I.
My sister said I was crazy because I was insulting those pimples and threatening them as I took them out one by one.It kinda related to FF7,where the earth is trying to protect itself by killing the pest-monster.It's the same case,as in the pimples and black heads are growing on me,and I'm the "earth" and so,I'm fighting them back by taking them out one by one.
Arh,gosh,I guess I'm really going nuts.
It's saturday and my siblings are out again.Mum and I continued with our Otaku lifestyle,watching FMA.We started in the morning and we finished at 1:30 the next morning.XD Otakus we are.
We had this prison-style lunch.This ish what it looks like.Imagine :-
But it wasn't too bad ya noe,I had so many extra helpings,and because porridge has alot of water in it,I kept using the toilet.
Mum didn't cook dinner and my siblings were hanging out with their friends for dinner.Sister took out this set meal from Loblaws (the grocery store).It came with this roasted chicken,baked potatoes,stir-fried vegetables and dinner bread rolls.Mmmm,it was really yummy,we finished everything except the chicken,because when my brother came back,he stole it away.(Well,that was because mum and I were watching FMA,and then we smelt something burning,which smelt like chicken,so we rushed out,only to find that the chicken was no long there.We checked the microwave,the fridge,and the table...Gone!Aha,quite and experience)
Oh,yea,sister told me some stuff about WW II,yeah!Now I can understand a little more about it.
I woke up to this sore throat,and my healing cough was coming back at me.I guess I had too much orange juice and ice cream.....and Bak Kut Teh...... (==)
We didn't go anywhere today,and I think I've got a little fever. (>_<).
Well,mum wasn't feeling very well either,ya know.
We watched a few episodes of FMA after our naps.........lazy bums we are....
Mmmm,I decided to read Hellsing.I stopped at volume 4 last time,and I can't really remember the storyline so I just read it all again.By the time I reached volume 3,my head was spinning already.Jeez,I never understand that manga. (>_<)
But,I feel this urge to start doing a Hellsing layout.....but..but..I just completed the Kumou No Mukou,Yakusoku No Basho one,I don't feel like throwing that one away, it's close to perfect,for my standards that is...ufufu.Maybe I'll do one and keep it for next time......maybe...argh..don't feel like writing anything....or maybe there's just nothing to write.
Su Hong came today.She sorta postponed her visit to a day later.Erm,we had Bak Kut Teh for dinner,and lots of ice-cream after that. *snicker-grin-snicker*
It's thursday so we watched Apprentice,and I was doing the usual laugh-at-Donal Trump-that-silly-looking-guy,and laugh-at-that-loser-wahahaha-(==)
Uwaa,I feel like all my energy ish drained away from me,or maybe that's because I can't remember what happened for the past few days,thanks to my procrastination.
Oh,I can actually remember something now,after checking through the dates the files were created....(if you don't understand,scroll down and read the bottom posts).Right,I was saying,the updates of my other page...
Nyahhh,I think we didn't go out today,and we stayed at home and wathced FMA.
And here ish the continuation of the updates on the site progression.Don't blame me,I'm just over excitited. (==)
And then,we watched The Apprentice :Martha Stewart.......and...CSI...and ...CSI again.....and..*can't remember*
Oh yeah! We ate ice-cream from the tub itself,much to my mum's disapproval.
Oh,yeah,I coded the Kumou No Mukou,Yakusoku No Basho layout,kinda love it...*accomplishment desu!!!*
By the way,my memory is deteriorating so much that I had to check the "properties" of the layout to actually remember when exactly I created it. (since I'm writing this on November 11th,I couldn't really remember.I thought I created the page on November 9th,which ish tommorow,.Argh!!Gotta do something about this memory of mine,and the procrastination!!)
After checking the "properties" of all the images,Liying finally makes her conclusion,that,what actually happened was.......
Thank goodness the computer actually keeps records of when the file was created,or all the dates would be mixed up by me ,the very honourable Ms.Procrastinator.
[edited]----by the way,I just realised why I'm so muddled up,I actually thought that this post *points down* and the one above,*points up* happened on the same day,and,this mess was caused because I forgot to put the date on the post below. Uwaaa!!How muddled can I be?! (>_<)
Minna-san,gomen ne.....
--please excuse the weirdness of the way the next paragraph starts,it's all because Liying-the-most-honourable*my foot, right?keep it to yourself (<_<)*-procrastinator forgot that this two "days" were actually one single day,so the paragraph below was supposed to be the starting of a new post--
Chyan-chyan!!!We bought a day pass each and went to the Harbourfront today.....and the camera died on me.Well,before that,we went to Eaton Center for lunch. *does this routine sound familliar to you?* I had baked ziti and mum had this sandwich which was called I dunno what. (>_<)
After that we went chinese grocery shopping because Su Hong is visiting and mum wants to cook something special for her to eat!!
And then.....I had a very bad shoulder-neck-back-ache.
We watched Full Metal Alchemist.When I say "we" I mean my mum and I.She's very impressed with the song "bratja" from FMA and its meaning and so she watched FMA. XD
Oh! I got my PR and SIN card today!!Wow,I was sooo happy I was jumping around and talking non stop about those two cards. You see,there's actually a hologram of me on the card.Well,the picture of me was really stupid-looking but then I remembered what Turkey said :"If you look stupid in the picture,you always look stupid,since it's you who's in the picture".And so I didn't really sulk over the picture.
Nyah..nothing interesting other than that happened........(>_<).
Monday.I was going to watch School Rumble from the beginning again (since I forgot where I stopped),but,I just couldn't bring myself to it.I don't know why,but Bleach,School Rumble and Azumanga Daioh just can't seem to attract me to watch it.
It's funny,the way I do things.I listen to my heart more than what's logical.Sometimes when I just can't decide what to do,for example,which colour to choose,I just calm down,and think which colour seems to be "calling" me more.
Heh,that's how I do things.(>_<)
Anyway,I've been humming Midori No Hibi's soundtrack day and night for the past few days for no reason at all.And that just made me feel like watching it again.After all,it's been quite some time since I last watched it. 1 1/2 years to two I guess?
So I watched.And I just love the Opening and Ending themes,and the inserts..XD I would say the story was very fairy-tale like,and the ending wasn't good,but,I just love it!
Sometimes,believing in fairy tales and such ,is just me.XD[spoilers below]
For instance Midori No Hibi's main character - Midori,is this girl who actuallly thinks her crush is love and has since loved this delinquent called Sawamura Seiji.... <---kakoi!!!! He's not lengzai but I so love his character!!!!wheee!
So anyway,Seiji is this really yeng guy who gets into fights.He's also known as Mad Dog Sawamura for his extremely g-r-e-a-t and strong right hand.
One day,Seiji wakes up to find that his g-r-e-a-t right hand had changed into a girl -Midori. Hence, their days together begin.
Seiji doesn't think much of Midori while Midori was always telling him how much she loved him.(you see,Midori never gathered enough courage to tell Seiji how much she liked him,and her being his right hand is her dream come true;while Seiji got turned down 20 times and has no girlfriend.)One day,Midori just returned to normal,and forgets about the time she had with Seiji.Those precious times.All she knows is something is missing,something warm.And Seiji too,realises that he likes Midori. (When she's around,he just couldn't care less,but now that she's gone,the only thing he can think about is her)
Well,I would say what they feel now,after sooo many days,or even months together,going through everything together,is really real,and well,could be called love.
So what exactly is it that I'm not contented about??Well,I think that the ending wasn't right.This is because at the end,Midori forgets everything,and she finds Seiji and gathers enough courage to confess.But hey! One moment,she's confessing based on her crush,because she can't remember all the times they had,so it's all based on the time she looked at him from afar,never spoken a word to him before,just looking and "loving" him.
But anyway,she doesn't remember,but Seiji remembers,and they both become a lovely couple. -happy ending-
I've said it once(Mai HiME chapter) and I'll say it again.I love happy endings,most people do.But you see,she doesn't LOVE him.She has a CRUSH on him.It's just that her crush was a long crush - 3 years.So If the creators made it such that she didn't forget everything,and based on the times they had together,her crush became love,and his nothing-ness became love and they both lived happily ever after,that would be more appropriate.
But then again,Snow White married a prince whom she just met;Sleeping
beauty too..Come to think of it,Aladdin and Jasmine ; Beauty and the Beast aren't like that.
Ahhhhh !!What the heck! Just watch the show,dammit! Enjoy~
Sunday!We went to Ikea.
The journey there was pretty interesting.We had to take a subway there.And,Ikea actually provides this shuttle bus service to take customers to Ikea.
What's so interesting is that the shuttle bus is not a bus at all.It's this..thing that actually looks like the "tut-tut" in Thailand.Ah,it's hard t explain,but it's a very country-ish vehicle!!
Well,that's all that's interesting about the whole thing.The rest was just like the usual Ikea trip in M'sia.
Wheee!We went to this Agricultural Winter Fair today.It was very fun!!There were sooo many animals,from cows to llamas. XD ,sogoi yo!
The first thing we did when we stepped foot into the exhibition hall was .......eat. *innocent* .We had this Apple dumpling!!It comes with this scoop of ice cream..yum!Well,basically it's just baked apples,but it's been a long time since I had baked apples,what more home-made baked apples!!!
Next,we went to see the dog show!!It was cooooool!!! The dogs were really cool,for instance,some dogs were sooo excited,they forget what stunt they're supposed to do,and end up running around aimlessly!! Too much attention I guess.
And then,we went to eat again.We had .....
After that,we went to see cows,sheep,how they sheared the sheep's skin,chickens,goats,and such!! The cows were huge and I loved stroking 'em.
There was even this Butter Sculpturing thing going on.Two guys were sculpting,one of 'em was sculpting a chick and another a dunno-what,we're guessing he's sculpting a cow.Ahaha,we were standing there,guessing their genders....XD
Well,then we went ahead to the petting zoo,and we saw llamas,and some other animals.The horse was very very unfriendly and didn't wanna be pet unless that person had food.It even turned its back to us...(T_T)
Well,after all the walking,I felt really tired...But,mum and sis wanted to go grocery shopping.....NOooooo!!!
Aha,anyway,today was fun!
Oruchuban Ebichu!!!! *housekeeper Ebichu* - very funny,but at the same time storyline-less, very perverted and............well,i wouldn't really recommend you to watch it.Judge it yourself! XD *i watched it all... =3*
Every single episode is only around 10 minutes long,and they all revolve around sex.There's always at least one scene of people having sex in every episode.But hey,it was funny.
It's something like this.Ebichu is a hamster who housekeeps for her owner.Her owner's boyfriend is this really unreliable lazy bum.And,they have sex like every night.And Ebichu really likes to "protect" her owner,but ends up giving her more trouble.
eg:-
Well,you get the picture...XD
But I must admit,it was funny.
Today ish Thursday.Mum wanted to go to the harbour,and the plan was to drop by at Eaton Center and have poutine for lunch,then we were to walk to the harbour.
Well,mum kinda misunderstood what I said ,and she ended up being mad all the way till nighttime...lalala..Don't think you wanna know the details..^^"
Keako asked if I wanted to cosplay Getbackers group 2006....Hmm,I'm wondering if I should go as Juubei (need to cut hair!!) or Midou Ban(need to gel hair,and I have no idea where I'm gonna get a shirt with the tuxedo tail,purple spectacles and that cool look he gives people after making them see a dream)Ahhhhh,mendokusai....
Oh,yea,one funny thing happened today!!Erm,well,you see,our laundry is done downstairs in the laundry room.In that room,there are two washers and two dryers.So,our clothes were washed and I was to put them into the dryer.And apparently,both screens of the dryer had the "00" time on it,which indicates that there are clothes inside,just that the person before me hasn't came to collect 'em.
Okay,since I had my iPod with me,I decided to wait.I waited for around 40 minutes,when a guy came in.He opened that particular dryer,and there was nothing inside!!
And,without thinking,I was like "Oh my gosh!!There was nothing inside??! Oh crap,I should've opened it earlier!!!nooooooo!!!I've been waiting here for like 40 minutes!!Mannnnnn"
And that guy was looking at me and laughing away,and he said something,but because I had my iPod plucked into my ears,I didn't catch it,plus,I was tooo devastated.Anyway,he told me "it happens!!" Crap!! Why me?!
Miaow,and so,we walked to the Toronto Public Library Forest Hill Branch.
Was looking for the book "Howl's Moving Castle" by Diana Wynne Jones.Sheesh,stupid librarian who was always busy and wouldn't help me find my book. (<_<) ..Anyway,I used the computer to look it up,seems like this branch doesn't have that book.Stupid Library.
Uwaaa!!!I watched it again.The last time I watched,it was a whole complicated plot I didn't understand it.I even needed my sister to explain what was going on.I watched it again,this time,watching with understanding,taking note of the music,the drawing,the story....
Kumo no Mukou,Yakusoku no Basho could be literally translated as "beyond the clouds,the promised place"
A little introduction.Kumo no Mukou,Yakusoku no Basho-creation of Shinkai Makoto,also the creator of Hoshi No Koe and Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko (She and Her Cat - a tale of a cat who loves its owner alot *what I perceive*).The soundtrack, while watching (this time),I noticed that it sounded very familiar.I was actually wondering wheter it was the works of Tenmon,since it sounded so alike to Hoshi No Koe's soundtrack,the way it was written and the way the chords proceeded.It might be a lucky guess,but I still think that they're quite alike.And,yup,the music,was by Tenmon.Wonderful,just love it soo much!
If you're looking for an eye-catching,funny anime,this isn't it. XD
The anime movie itself was saddening.Abit slow moving I would say,but the ending was just sad.Wanna know what's it about? [spoilers ahead]
Japan was split into two parts.A tower separates both parts.That tower,was just there, blending in with the scenary.Its existence is a mystery ,but it was rumoured that the creater of the tower,was a physicist.
Three 15 year old students -2 boys (Takuya and Hiroki) who were best friends,with the same goals,the same interest;and a frail looking girl(Sayuri).The two boys were making an aeroplane to go to the tower.And the girl,somehow,was invited.The threesome made a promise,to fly to the tower,on that plane they were making- Valenciel.
However,one day,Sayuri just disappeared.She was hospitalized,and no none knew.Well,I'll skip some parts and just jump to the main points.Well,actually,Sayuri is a girl,who is connected to the tower.She is the physicist's grandaughter.She dreams the same dream alot,and in her dreams,she is alone,in another parallel world,seeing what the universe dreams,all the different worlds out there.One thing was certain -she was alone.
The tower is mysterious.It could wipe out the whole world.And the only thing controlling it was Sayuri.As long as Sayuri is asleep,everything is fine.But when she is about to awaken,or has awaken,the tower would overwrite the world with the empty universe Sayuri sees in her dreams.
So,in the beginning,Sayuri dreamt a little.Soon,she was dreaming more and more,and was only awake for awhile.And that day she was hospitalized,she slept for 3 years.Before she fell back into her long sleep,she wrote a letter,to be given to Hiroki and Takuya.
Life goes on,no one knew that she was hospitalized.The two boys just gave up building the plane,using Sayuri as the excuse.Sayuri had forgot everything,and the only thing she remembered,the only thing that kept her attached to the world,was the promise the threesome made.So the boys found out about Sayuri one day,and decided to take the sleeping Sayuri to the Tower,hoping she would wake up.But,if she woke up,the world would be re-written,and so,they helped the terrorist bomb the tower.
"I always felt as if I was about to lose something" was what Sayuri always said.And,as they were aproaching the tower,she(still in her dream) realises what that was - she wanted to tell Hiroki how much she liked him.So she prays,that when she wakes up later,she would remember that something she wanted to tell him sooo much.
And so,she finally awakes,but she forgot that important thing.And so, "I always felt as if I was about to lose something" came through,and she lost her very important memory that she wanted to tell Hiroki,cherish and remember so much,even for a split second.
And so,with all the music,and this song "kimi no koe" (your voice),it's just soooooo sad!Ahhhhh...(>_<).
Minna-san,Subarashii na anime-eiga kara,hayaku Kumo No Mukou,Yakusoku No Basho wo Mite yo!
First day of November.Yesterday was Halloween and Sis brought sweets and chocolate home for me!
The first day of another month deserves another color for the text as you can see. (^_^)v
Mai HiME's ending was just horrible.I don't mean the story's ending was sad and all.I mean,the storyline's ending is stupid.After hearing me shower the anime with praise yesterday,aren't you shocked that those words came from me?Let me tell ya why the storyline just sucked.
Firstly,I understand that this is a bishojou anime,so I just ignored the fact that the girls' skirts are exceptionally short,their breasts are exceptionally huge,their uniforms are excetionally tight,and their cleavage is showing everytime it has the chance to.Ignoring those facts,I admit the story was good up till the last few episodes.
What made me say the ending sucked was this:-
Do you remember that when a HiME is defeated,the thing most valuable to her,would die?Well,it appeared that everyone just "disappeared",because,they all came back in episode 26!! That's just absurd,they're supposed to be dead,taken away in exchange for power!And,they just APPEARED again.And the ending was that everyone lived happily ever after.Sure,I'd love that ending,it doesn't make anyone of us sad,complain or rant.Everyone loves a happy ending : Tate lives,everyone loves each other,gets to be with each other,operation was a success and so on.But,the creators can't just make something that absurd happen! No way! Not like that at least,just by maiking things appear!
Apart from that,the First Division puzzle is just a mess.The anime didn't even tell us what's happening: just that the First Division was destroyed.Who are those obasan-tachi??Nothing is explained,no clues.Even if there were clues,they don't match.
Yeeeek!!!I hate this!It just feels like the time when I watched Chrno Crusade ,and the pieces of the puzzle just won't fit, mysteries just won't be solved! The creators of the anime(s) juz brush the little bits off and rush to the ending!
Well,my siblings already told me that the storyline is kinda off,although the music and seiyuu(s) are good.So I kinda expected it.Even sis told me not to bother too much about the little mysteries and puzzles.
But,I just can't help thinking about what's happening in there. (>_<)
Oh my gosh.I'll just skip what we did this morning and jump straight to this omigosh-ness.I watched Mai HiME.It was interesting so I watched episode after episode.Up till episode 8,it was just like any other anime,except that there was a slight twist in the kinda plot it was.And,the ending of Episode 8 was just horrible. The main story (up till now) is like this. HiME - Highly-advanced Materializing Equiptment.They are certain people with special powers who are supposed to use their "child" to fight "orphan". Basically,"child" is like a guardian,and "orphan" are monsters.To use child,HiME must put something important on the line. Sure,I thought,this anime is just like some other anime or even cartoon ,good people with special powers save the day....yada yada.And I thought,even the characters in the anime thought,that the most important thing they would be putting on the line,is their life.Yea right,my predictions were totally wrong,missed the bulls eye. So all the HiME(s) are gathered in this school for an unknown reason.The reason the director gives them,is that their to fight "orhan",save the world.But it seems that that's not the real thing.However,I haven't watched enough to episode 8,the one I just watched before writing this,a girl,who is a HiME was with her boyfriend in some place on the school grounds.She was going to tell her boyfriend about her true identity - her being a HiME and stuff,and suddenly,this "friend" of hers,pops up,saying that there's an "orphan".She gets into battle,and her boyfriend was shocked.After everything,all the explanations and stuff,her boyfriend reassured her about their relationship.She was going to thank that "friend" for keeping her identity a secret,when that "friend"...... killed the "child" the HiME summoned. And,when her "child" dies,that very important thing which was put on the line,will die. The girl thought that she was going to die.Dumbstruck,she couldn't support herself any longer.And that's when she heard a soft cry.Turning around,she saw her boyfriend falling,clenching his chest. You got it.He was the most important thing.Not her life.She didn't know it,till it was gone.And,now....isn't that soooo sad!!!!!!!??I was close to tears ,man! And,it really didn't strike my mind,that the most important thing,might not me one's life.And the worst thing is,the main character's most important thing,from my point of view,is her brother.....(T_T) ufufuufuuuuu..this is soooo unexpected!!Minna-san,watch Mai HiME!!And after that,there's also the sequel- Mai Otome. myaoz!!!gonna continue...although it's sooo sad.....(T_T) Day 15- October 30th Today ishh..Sunday! We had a little noise about Japan and why Dad didn't wanna let me go,and the fact that I should be contented with what I have now........and so on. My siblings went to the movies.Mum and I stayed at home.We weren't planning to go out,but we went out anyway.We were thinking of going on a walk,but the walk,turned out to be a looooong walk.If I walk this amount everyday,I think I would be able to qualify for the Cross Country next year. (>_<)v So anyway,we ended up walking to this knitting shop.You see,we were thinking about picking knitting up.So from our place,it's kinda like this(I'll draw a map later).From Eglington Ave. West, we walked East until we hit Bathurst.We walked alont Bathurst, crossed St.Claire's,walked a little more and reached Knit-o-Matic. The lady wasn't nice and the classes were expensive and unconstructive,so we headed to Lawrence West.We took the Subway there.After browing around,we decided that knitting was not our thing.I wanted to do pottery more. Anyway,here's the map.i didn't draw it.I suck at drawing and you probably wouldn't understand the drawing..XD
![]() Day 14- October 29th Today should be Saturday.......(=.=)Saa,what did I do??? Think,think,think. *Pooh sits on his thinking spot and starts to hit his head with his paw-like-fist*. Oh,yea! We went to Yorkdale.It's a mall.And......................we went shopping.And............................*nothing interesting to say*. Well,alot of updates on the progress of my Task of learning how to draw,but that'll be a drag to write it all out. Day 13- October 28th Nyahhh,I think we stayed at home the whole day.I started drawing.Posted a topic at CF Forum and alot of people helped me out! I tried drawing,and well alot of things happened!I even made a scrapbook to mark my progress.I'll show it to everyone someday....some dayyyyyyyy...*trails off* Gee,can't remember much,just that my sister came back,and oh!! She forgot her handphone charger.Okay,the story ish like this.Before she bought the SonyEricson phone(the one I broke),she had this Motorola one,and she gave it to my mum when she got the new one.So,because they use different adapters in different countries,so mum had to buy a M'sian converter.So,the Canadian converter was gonna be thrown away.And my sister lost it.So,she's gonna buy a new adapter which ish gonna be used for a few months only.Erm,well,I guess it's hard for ya to understand,but oh well!!!!I seriously lack communicating skills! Day 12- October 27th Let me tell you this :I'm writing this 5 days after these actually happened so I can't remember much. Thanks to procrastination. Right,all I can remember ish......Dad went back today.We had pizza for lunch and that cost us around RM100. Bleh.Can't remember.Owh!!Now I remember...I watched Samurai Deeper Kyo and it was magnificent!! I Love Onime no Kyo sooo much!! He's soooo kakoi!!! Oh,and I remember vaguely about forgetting that Dad was going back to M'sia because I was tooo absorbed in the anime.XD Day 11- October 26th Wednesday.Ah,since I'm writing this on Wednesday itself,I should be able to produce more information about the day. I remember something very clearly.Take a deep breath people.A few times if you must. Now,let me say this very slowly......... We.....Went.....To....China......Town...A-G-A-I-N. XD Okay,the only reason we went to China Town was, I mean,the only Main Reason we went there was to try Dim Sum.It's supposedly better than M'sia because of the Hongkies but I guess I prefer M'sia (probably because we went to the wrong place to have it?). Yes,the skin of the Dim Sum was starchy and thick. The same experience as the dumplings. XD The price was suprisingly cheap though,it only summed up to about 17++ Canadian Dollars.Well,if you convert the price than it'll be around Rm60+ ,but if you were working there,then it'll be cheap ,because,well,no converting! Well,then,on our way back,we passed by this supermarket which was selling TEN tangerines for only ONE Candian Dollar! That's like paying RM 3 for 10 huge tangerines! By the way,if anyone can tell me the difference between tangerines,oranges,mandarin oranges etc.,please enlighten me on that matter.(Don't tell me about the "ming ju" we learnt,something about oranges growing in different places will be called different names.....@____@ ,because I don't think that has got anything to do with this matter.XD ) I finished wathching GetBackers! Yahoo! But now I'm not sure what I should watch.Hmm,maybe i should watch Noir,seeing that Jing Hua and Brenda love it so much. Maybe. XD I'm also reading Full Metal Panic! manga.I watched the anime two years ago but I can't really remember the details. Well,if anyone sees or has the book Howl's Moving Castle or Castle In the Air by Diana Wynne Jones ,please lend / tell me where to find it! Onegai! Day 10- October 25th Tuesday.We were at home most of the time,till around 3++ p.m. We headed to Lawrence West to get some floor mats for the apartmemt.Then,we headed to Dominion's - "we're fresh obsessed" <--their tagline ^^" . All the streets are looooong like I mentioned earlier (Day 9),so their both on the same street. Bought all those groceries and,oh yea! I totally forgot,but,we went to the Dollar store the day before (day 9).We got loads of stuff.I got alot of pens as souveniers,don't think the maple leaves I picked for everyone will make good souveniers. It's not like the pens are any better,but hey,at least they won't break and they have the words "canada" on 'em.I won't deny that the leaves are more sentimental and CHEAP (<--LOL,it's a hassle to pick'em and squash 'em under books ya know.Ain't that easy.),but the pens are better I guess.I didn't really get many pens,just around 20+ ,guess some people won't be getting souveniers. >_< And,that ends the day.I guess. XD *can't really remember,thanks to my procrastinating that made me write many hours after the actual incidents. Day 9- October 24th Monday.My sister prepared a list of places (yeah,right,list.There were only 2 places on it).On the list,there were two places we were supposed to go to - Port Elgin and Kingston. I tried using the map to determine the routes we were to take,unfortunately,I couldn't do it.The search for Port Elgin kept telling me there was no such place,althogh I see it veyr clearly on the map,and the search for Kingston kept guiding me to Kingston,London. = _=,how useful.It didn't strike my mind to use the MSN map till Wednesday.(I don't tell the future,it's because I'm writing it now,and today is actually Wednesday.XD) Ah,well,we went to look for this Golf Course.It's on the same road,but Eglington Ave is very long.Not only it has an East side and a West side(we're on the West),but the West side itself is soooooo long.(Kind of reminds me of the time I forced everyone to walk back to the hotel from CN Tower two years ago.Well,we just had dinner and I was feeling really full and suggested we did some exercise.Although the subway was very convenient,we walked all the way back,onYonge street.For your information,people,Yonge street is the longest street in the world.Obviously we didn't walk the whole street. (=w=))Anyway,back to topic,we drove along looking for that Golf Course and finally,we found it.I made it sound like a long and tiresome process,but hey,with a car,everything is easy,ne? After that,we went to China Town(AGAIN).We saw this guy playing his er hu by the street and i suggested to mum that she played her gu zheng there to earn money.XD We had dumplings at House of Dumplings.Well,I'd love to say that I prefer M'sia's dumplings.The shop's dumplings' skin were tooooo thick and starchy. Went home after that.Wasn't feeling too well,and didn't really help in the directions back.I could tell that Dad was getting annoyed with me. We did our laundry like at 9++ and finished at 11++ p.m. LOL.Looks like mum and I are becoming more of my brother now - procrastinators. But she denies that with various excuses. XD Day 8- October 23rd It's Sunday and we're off to breakfast without my brother.We went to this place called Cora's and had crepe and such.Boy the waiting line was loooong and it was still RAINING.I would love to call this place "the everlasting rain city" but that would be over exaggerating.We waited around half an hour before we got our place. Well,I'm kinda lazy to describe what we had,but basically all of us had crepe. After branch,my sister and I walked to Shopper's Drug Mart to get my cough mixture.And mind you,it was STILL RAINING! Well,the mart did have the left-over cough mixture my sis gave me (which tasted like Ribena ,and I loved it!),but the only flavoured one of the same brand and function they have,didn't have flavouring.And so,I ended up with a different brand,and medicine without flavouring.Well,looks like I'm making a big fuss over Ribena-like-medicine. My sister is leaving for America today at 5:00 p.m. I can't stop thinking about the joke Xiao Von and Mel told me.The one about America being pronounced as "ah-meh-reek-ah" and not "eh-meh-reek-er". Day 7- October 22nd Today is saturday and it's my sister's convocation day.We were supposed to leave at 8:30a.m but left at 10 instead! An hour and a half behind schedule!Boy,we were late!But it turned out we were just on time after all.(We sorta skipped the "tour of university"). Had lunch with my sister's friends,and made our way to the University for the convocation.It's not my convocation so there's nothing much to talk about.XD Then,around 5:00p.m, we drove from Waterloo to Stratford.On our way there,we drove pass farms and such.My family asked if I would like to stay there and I immedietly said NO.C'mon,it's sooooo creepy! You won't have neighbours(I do,but we're far apart),lots of empty land everywhere!At night,it'll be spooky!Anyway,we reached there,went to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.I saw this Chocolate mixing thing that looked like a mill,and baked apples with chocolate and icing and caramel on them,they looked like giant lollipops.We bought some chocolate and went to dinner.Dinner was my sister's treat and so was the chocolate. And then we went home.Did I mention it was raining the whole time from the university?Oh gosh,just a small rain,but it was heavy.(it's contradicting but yeah).On our way,I didn't wanna look outside(spooky man!) so I went to sleep,how cosy it was,with the heater on and everything. Day 6- October 21st We drove to St.George street to walk-walk.Well,first we were went to the Bata Shoe Museum (Bata is a VERY EXPENSIVE brand. XD, Su Ping would be happy to promote the trip to Bata if she were here, everyone would wanna go huh....)But the fees weren't worth the tour ,cuz its 20 canadian dollars for the 3 of us,and that would mean RM60 just to look at shoes.So,we stepped out.Well,so happens the shop next door was a Golf Shop and we stepped in straight away. Dad noticed it like so fast ,well,of course,it's golf after all.So the place is runned by a Korean couple, and after a look at the golf equiptment,we went out empty handed.After that,we were supposed to head for the Royal Ontario Museum(ROM),but I as the navigator,lead the wrong way,and we ended up at the wrong street.We decided to stop at Pita Factory for pita.For the add-on ingredients (like pickles,tomatoes and stuff) ,we told them to add everything except this grass-like-thing(I later got to know that that was Alfafa),so our Pita became sooooooo huge. I'll put up a picture another day!Well,after that,we went to look for ROM.It was half open and half closed,and the fee was around the same as the Bata Shoe Museum and so that resulted in us leaving the place.XD We went to Queens park from there.Wow,so many squirrels! They were actually very tame!! Dad tried making noises and the squirrels came to him,but they turned away later. Well,I know we do have squirrels in our garden at home,but these squirrels are huge and tame! I took alot of pictures of them!Upload them another day! After that,we walked back to ther car.Well,the streets are all boxed-like,so basically,from our car,we made a left turn,another left turn and another left turn and we reached our car again.And that concludes our tour. XD When we reached the apartment,it was only 3:30 p.m. ,or was it 4:30 ? Well,something like that!Dad decided that we should take a drive around the housing area.And so we went looking at other people's houses,giving comments like "nice house,badly maintained house lalalalla".Well,we stopped at the park after that.One thing about this place,there are many parks! So we walked and the colours of the trees are just beautiful! Snapped alot of pictures but i doubt they'll turn out nice. I'm not a good photographer nor do I have the skills,like Mel said! But I'll upload it someday. And then we went home,and at night,when my sister came home,we drove to Loblaws to do some grocery shopping. Day 5- October 20th Okay,maybe the reason I'm not enjoying any anime now is because I'm coughing like anything. Nah...normally,I'd just continue watching.My sister came up with an idea to make me have a long restful sleep. I'm supposed to stay awake till it's very late,then, go to bed,that way,I'd be tooo tired to wake up.So,last night I was making a wallpaper till 1++a.m. During that time,I accidentaly pushed something off the table : My sister's new handphone. >________< ! Right,you guessed it. I didn't know the screen cracked until in the morning,I woke up hearing people talking about screens. >_____< .I broke it.uwaaaa! Anyway,so two things happened because I didn't sleep early yeaterday : <1> I got to sleep until 6:30,without waking up in the middle of the night,but because I slept late,so it still sums up to be the same as other days.
Anyway,wanna see the wall paper?Click the link below. Warning however :Don't expect too much,it's my first time making wallpapers! Dad went to pick up the rental car,we're gonna go look at his golf sets-to-be later................. Day 4- October 19th Okay, lemme bold this : I WOKE UP AT 3++ AGAIN.I woke up after bumping my head on the wall.For your information,I bumped my head and woke up the night before too!Alright,and I stay awoke all the way till 6:00 a.m,had breakfast and started looking at maps. I hate maps,geography and such.But,today,we're going to China Town AGAIN,and my sis can't guide us there.So,well,we gotta go on our own and therefore the map is needed.The Google Local is really useful,it shows us exactly how to get to a destination.How far and so on. Okay,here comes the Anime part. XD . Well,I watched Honey and Clover until the second last episode.The last episode has not been subbed by Anbu yet. T_____T. Alright, be thankful they're subbing!!! (p/s:Mel,gratefulness comes in here!!)I love the insert songs and the opening and ending themes!! I guess Honey and Clover is gonna make it to my favourites list.It's not really the funny kinda anime,more to "Boys Be..." kind, only thing is this is for adult ladies according to my ever-so-knowledgable-best-friend-sister. <--wanna know why the best-friend title? This is how the story proceeds: My sis and I were on the subway with my parents.We were chatting away and the lady sitting opposite of us leaned forward and asked us about our nationality and stuff.She said we didn't sound chinese so we explained that we weren't china-chinese but m'sian-chinese.And then she asked if my sister and I were best-friends or sisters.And so,that's how the title came about. I watched a 3 episodes of Azumanga Daioh.I don't think I really like it.Everyone has huge eyes, almost the same hair style,and they look almost alike.The story line,well, I can't find ANY story line.It's basically all jokes and no story.In addition to that,the jokes are all lame, revolving around blurness of the Osaka girl and the english teacher called Yukuri.=.= . I'm still contemplating wheter I should continue watching or watch something else.=_=. Ahhhh.I just decided that I'll watch something else.......Howl's moving castle maybe. Oh yea,by the way, my mind seems to be working today.I managed to put the player out,so feel free to off the music if it troubles you. Day 3- October 18th Yesterday night was the same as the one before - I couldn't sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.Well,had an early breakfast,cleaned myself up and went for a walk with my mother.It's autumn over here and the weather isn't exactly freezing.The temperature is low and there's a breeze every now and then. We had Italian for dinner.Well,the restaurant was east from Eglington Ave West,the place we reside in.Dad had this Spinach Pasta,talk about Popeye the Sailorman.Bro had pizza ,sis had this starchy-thingy,mum had linguini cooked with some creamy sauce and I had baked pasta.During dinner,bro talked about this girl he saw on the bus,who had a huge ring around her nose,and the conversation led to the number of ear-holes I have,and wheter or not I was gonna get my nose pierced too.Oh my gosh.Sometimes I just hate it when people talk about my ear-holes.Well,since I pierced 'em, I gotta face all these questions.I know.Ahahah,but sometimes it just makes me wonder if I had done the wrong thing.On the contrary,sometimes I just love'em too much too be bothered about what other people say,and that happens really rarely,often,I get kinda offended.I guess maybe I shouldn't have got'em pierced,but to have them closed is just tooooo againts my will,I mean,firstly,that's stupid,to get them pierced AND regretting , which I'm half-doing (well,actually I just regret a little,when people go around commenting.Ahaha,anyway,I'm keeping them!!Last week,when I tried to put the sticks back into the hole after having 'em stickless for a week or two,the sticks just wouldn't go into 'em - they were closing.T_T Waddya think I did? Let'em close?No way....I forced them through, and got'em hurt. XD Day 2- October 17th Today is monday.My sister has gone to work and so has my bro went to university.I had trouble sleeping yesterday night.No,actually,it was pretty easy to fall asleep,but i woke up very early and couldn't sleep again.So,I waited till 6:30 am - that's when my sister would wake up. (oh yea,did i mention I sleep in the same room as her?) And so the two of us had breakfast early in the morning when everyone was still asleep.After she went to work, I went back to bed again. Funny,I was able to sleep when everyone else was scurrying about the house,watching TV while preparing breakfast. And when I finally woke up,I went to do the laundry downstairs.I was making a mental note to get upstairs to bathe when I return, only to start rinsing the dishes (mum did the washing!!yay!). LOL , by the time I finished,it was time to go down AGAIN to put the clothes in the dryer. What am I complaining about? I don't havta hang the clothes!!! There's a dryer! Yea! Okay,I started reading one of my sister's books yesterday.It's title is :" Tuesdays with Morrie - an old man,a young man,and life's greatest lesson." It's a wonderful book.It's about this dedicated professor called Morrie and his student called Mitch. Mitch graduated from college and forgot all about Morrie until one day,while flipping through the channels he heard about Morrie's condition. Morrie was dying .And so,he meets up with his teacher every Tuesday, and they learn together - about life's meaning and stuff. And now,let me elaborate on the issue of ginger in porridge.Mum was cooking porridge and she needed ginger.We couldn't find any ginger anywhere so we decided to get to the mini-mart to get some.Although I doubted wheter they had ginger,I got dressed and was ready to go.Just then,dad said that we had to get to the mall to get our S.I.N done.(don't ask me what's that...I dunno).Well,after that,we tried to look for ginger there.However,no vege-selling-shops were to be found in the entire double-storey mall.Too Bad.I was actually thinking that we can have porridge withouth the troublesome ginger,but noooooo,mum said we had to have it.And so we went to another supermarket downtown to scout for the darn gingers.By the time we got it and set foot back into the apartment,it was already 5++ p.m. Imagine,I had my breakfast at 6:30 a.m.,and my lunch at 5:10p.m. Amazing huh. And lemme tell u guyz this : I'd prefer my porridge WITHOUT the ginger. Day 1- October 16th Myao.And so, furball arrives in the big city. Nah,I arrived yesterday night.Had pizza and went to bed. This morning, I woke up to the smell of bacon and sprang outta bed. After breakfast, I took over my brother's chore - washing up.... Well,now I'm gonna go to the bath. =_= There's no need to tell ya that though. XD. And we are back!Okay,we went to China Town . It's just like Petaling Street in KL. Yea, just like that! We took the subway,and the street car to and back.Over there, we did some grocery shopping.Mum want's to cook chinese food for us. Aha.Then the interesting part comes. Yup! Anime! Honey and Clover!! Hachimitsu to Kuroba!!! Omygoodness!! I sound like...... like.....Brenda talking about whatever anime she was watching...... @_@ LOL.We were gonna go out to have dinner,but no one is hungry because well,I don't know. Oh yea! I forgot to mention that we had this Vietnamese bread thing, and Noodles . Right,maybe that's why I'm not hungry. Okay.I don't really feel like writing anything else. T_T. That's it. Oh,ya. I hate long distance flights. T______T. |
