Canada,
summer and its super cold.
There's snow on the mountain.
Not in the town but
on the mountain.
Thank goodness some hotels
have internet (: Can't live without it.
When i go on MSN at 3pm Canada time.
It's around 8am Singapore.
Who'd be online to talk to me?
I end up playing WoW and napping
after that. 15 hours time diff, sigh.
I heard rocs was awful and boring.
I hate that Coach Jay guy.
His jokes are cruel!
And the fact that the orientation camp
was awful, i blame him (:
Who cares about his bald head?
Alot of people are bald,
what makes him so special
about telling us stupid jokes about
his bald head? Wear a wig, damnit!
Recap on my holiday
First day: 17th May 2008 (I relived 17th may twice)
Arrived in Canada in the late morning,
3am in singapore. Collapsed in the car.
Watched Cloverfield(twice), 27 Dresses, PS I Love You,
Jumper and Juno on the plane. Slept for about an hour.
Listened to my Ipod. Arrived 14 hours after take off.
Went to the hotel, nice glassy, classy building.
Sheraton Wall Centre. Crashed into the bed and
slept for 3hours. No internet yet, sadly.
Walked from the hotel to China Town, about half an hour.
Then went around China Town looking for food.
Everything was closed. Very few restaurants
were open. Then, we turned into this street.
East Hastings. It was awful and sick.
Lots of homeless people and youngsters in groups,
begging you for money and cigerattes. Some
were doing drugs and no one really cared.
It was kinda scary. We finally walked into this
Chinese restaurant that was open and
managed by a hongkong family.
The food wasn't that great.
Soup was great though.
Then we walked back to the hotel
where we slept somemore. :D
Day 2: 18th May 2008
After breakfast, we drove to this
place called Grouse mountain.
Had to take a gondola up.
It was kinda cool, timber wolves
were in captivity.
Soo.. the mountain was snowy,
patches of snow everywhere.
It wasn't that cold though,
only when the wind blew.
We walked and walked and walked
to a bear enclosure, 2 bears were
there. Coola and Grinder. I think..
Then we walked all the way back
and considered taking a helicopter ride.
Was too expensive and short.
Went down the mountain,
headed for the Capillano Expansion
Bridge. It was bloody scary and
extremely crowded with people.
So it's this long bridge, shaky and
wobbly, at least 100 people on it,
and below it was rapids and waterfalls.
Are you scared? I was :D
My mum was terrified, she walked
slowly behind me and held on to my
jacket tightly. My dad was far ahead
of us both, so she was yelling at him
to come back and support us.
So after we crossed the long bridge,
we walked around this tree place.
it was kinda cool and nice.
Spent about an hour up there.
Went back to town
and went shopping!
There was nothing to buy but
we just walked and walked endlessly.
After the day was done
I was pretty delirious,
just laughing at nothing and
trying to massage my aching legs
while walking back to the hotel.
Then we napped for 3 hours once again.
My legs died that day.
Day 3: 19th May 2008
4 hours on the road,
travelling to this place,
called KELOWNA
Scenery was amazing,
snow cap mountains,
forests and greenery.
Haha, I just listened to my
Ipod and stoned in the car.
Kelowna, a nice town in the middle of nowhere.
Had A&W for lunch. The sweet sweet taste
of the root beer. Almost finished the cup.
I can't remember what happened next so yeah,
I'll stop here.
Day 4: 20th May 2008
Another 5 hours on the road,
the breakfast in the hotel
was awful so I didn't eat anything.
Bought Macs before we left Kelowna.
We were on our way to Banff.
The scenery once again was amazing.
The snow cap mountains were just
outside our car window. Snow right
beside the road. I stoned once again
with my Ipod. Stopped at this place
GOLDEN for lunch. Boring town.
Then reached Banff around 3
when we realised that the time here
is one hour ahead of Vancouver.
So.. I am here right now sitting in
the hotel room, it's 11.35pm. I have
not eaten my dinner. Haha
I'm drinking root beer right now.
Oh btw, Banff is a cute little town
that looks like Switzerland
all mashed up into a few houses.
Adorable :D
I bought a MAD Magazine.
They stopped selling it in Singapore. Sad.
Missing everyone in Singapore.
Except Fum :D :D
