Snow globe from Gloucester, MA!
Snow globe from Gloucester, MA!

Finally managed to unpack from the Boston trip. I cleaned up my closet. Might as well, right? I purged, like crazy, all the old clothes that I don’t wear anymore. One pile for donation, and another pile for selling. Just trying to earn some extra dough… for more eating and travelling.

I met up with the kiddie engineers for some bubble tea at Ten Ren’s. It was nice seeing them again! I’ve been pretty quiet for most of the term, so I missed out on a lot of the inside jokes. Awkward~! But yea, turns out pretty much everyone is going to Hong Kong for Christmas. I’m persuaded to go… but I’ll be going in May! For a longer period of time. But Christmas? It’d be such a party to go with everyone! hm… what to do?

Not used to this new Pokemon.
Not used to this new Pokemon.

Pretty much watched YTV and Family all day. I managed to catch an episode of Pokemon… Ash sounds different, so does Brock. And who is this new chick? Where did Misty go? The trio is just not the same. And these new Pokemons? Nah-uh. Not working out for me. The episode was based on this Croagunk. Can we say U-G-L-Y? urgh. Bring back the original 151!

House on wheels!
House on wheels!

Yes, that is a house on wheels. Just chugging along on 16th Avenue. And I thought the highlight of the day was at Wonderland.

I picked up Calvin and Didit and we went out for breakfast together. I had to head home to print something and we encountered this. Just a house being moved. Pretty much all of our jaws dropped. Absolutely unbelievable.

Anyways, it ended up being just Calvin and me who went to Wonderland. Shanna was supposed to go… but she didn’t make it. Oh wells!

Wonderland was awesome! We went on the Behemoth. Oh. My. God. Unbelievable ride! That thing was amaaaaazing. Totally worth the hour-long wait. Actually, pretty much all the rides were about 45-minutes wait. We went on the usual rides… the Canadian Mindbuster… Shockwave… Skyrider…. Wildbeast… Timberwolf Falls…. Pretty good, 6 rides in about 7 hours. We missed the Flight Deck (aka Top Gun) simply because the line was WAY too long. We waited for 45 minutes… and we were only halfway there. Not gonna happen. So we went out for dinner.

Finally, Shanna showed up for dinner at Gal’s Sushi! Mmhmm… I love this place! It never fails to impress me. =]

Silent movie - Dollars and Sense
Silent movie – Dollars and Sense

Karrianne and I made a pretty spontaneous plan to see the Dollars and Sense at the Music Theatre on Danforth. The silent movie was accompanied by a pianist and several violinists. The experience was once in a life-time! It’s not very often that you get to see these old-school movies.

The movie started skipping mid-way through. It was really noticeable (and aggravating) especially during the dramatic moments. The pianist went along and ‘skipped’ the music whenever the picture was skipping!

The movie itself was very cute. It portrayed a very innocent, very pure love story. Good guy vs. bad guy fighting for a girl. The bad guy gives way and lets them be together. Aww. Too cute.

Long way back!
Long way back. Around 10 hours of bus ride.
So thankful that we stopped at Waterloo Premium Outlet for that 3 hour shopping. Bought a bit… a Coach wallet, Gloria’s birthday present, a pair of New Balance shoes… and that’s pretty much it!

Keep calm and carry on
“Keep calm and carry on” says the Queen

First real day of freedom… the in-between days… after exams finish and before work starts… so what do I do now?

First up on the list, Boston! That’s right, I’m heading to Boston on those Chinese tours with the family. (Sorry Elly, I should’ve told you earlier!) I’m actually really excited about it, despite everyone’s complain about the bus ride and what not. I’ve never done it before, so I’m really looking forward to it.

I’m not bringing my Tiny (the netbook) because, well… I’m on vacation! =] Expect loads of pictures when I’m back!
