♥ 2:45 PM
Haha! So y'all wanna hear about Vancouver right? I promised y'all a post, so here it is! :D Be prepared to sit there for a long long long long long long long long long time. XD I also promised Ying Xin T that I'd quote her! So I'm just going to write a lot of stuff, cause I'm in a blogging mood. So this is a summary! :D
- Another what?/why? question.
- Vancouver events (both significant and insignificant - HAHA)
- Write another poem that I was inspired to write
- Quote TYX!
- Ehh. A lot of other things, whatev I feel like la really.
Can anyone tell me what a crush is? Is it when you stay awake all night thinking of how he makes you laugh? Or lie in bed restlessly hoping he'll talk to you the next day? Is it when you're scared of doing something that will make him hate you? When you get jealous maybe.27th May Singapore
I woke up at 10:30am to a bustling house. Hahaha, did some super last minute packing before changing. Shao Wei couldn't come to the airport and my dad said we couldn't go to her house cause we were already late, so I didn't get TYX's present and letter! D:
In the end also no one to send me off at the airport. )): So miserable. I remember tyx and car called me in the car. I was almost in tears cause I missed them super much already. The rest okay la, cause didn't really hear their voice, but yeah. Couldn't cry in the car in front of Shaun and Kim and Mum and Dad and blarh. Too paiseh. Plus my mother would be her SUPER ANNOYING KPO self. rah. Hearts to you two! (:
The Eva Air service was super slow. We waited about half an hour just to do our check-in luggage. Some guy actually complained to the airport staff. XD So impatient! My dad, being funny yet immature, sat on the luggage trolley I was pushing and kept his hands on his, so when I pushed right, I push his AND his luggage trolley! XD I have a picture, but my blogger always can't post pics, so. Haha, it was super funny! XD
We finally reached the counter and the lady tried to offer us a different aeroplane ride, with TWO transit stops this time, cause the other one was full, but we refused. Who wants to reach Vancouver so late?! My parents were super mad by then. XD
I smsed everyone when we were done to say bye. Hehe. Few replied. I wonder if vanhouten is angry at me now too. ): See la Jing Han, come to my house and message her. I really hope she isn't. XD Wells.
Boarded the aeroplane, yadahyadahyadah. ZZ. I watched Music and Lyrics! I heart that show!! :D
but then POP! goes my heart! sooo cute!!! Oh man! :D
4 hours then we landed in Taiwan, our one and only transit stop. I realised there was something wrong with my wrist, cause I can't rotate it, so my mum bought me a wrist guard. Darn cheap la! The lady was nice and gave me a pretty ribbon with a flower on it. Cause my mum saw it in the drawer, and went oh so nice! Haha! XD We ate at some place called 85 degrees. They have cool business cards! I saw one and took then I realised that it was unfoldable. It's majorly long! I also took the straws. They're those super high quality types. It's so hard and un-bendy! Hehehe. Oh, I also took some cute stirrers from the plane. XD
SIX hours later, boarded plane again. :D I fell asleep and didn't have supper. I was going to watch Aurore on the plane, but woke up halfway through. Didn't like it anyways, so I tuned to Because I Said So, some comedy and waited till it ended, so I would know what time Freedom Writers start. Cause shows start every 2 1/2 hours. I set my watch and then slept of course. (:
Freedom Writers was sooo good. :D I think it's super touching! The head of dept was so funny. Haha, good actress. GO WATCH! :D Watch Music and Lyrics too!
27th May Vancouver
So cool right? I left on Sunday and arrived on Sunday. XD It was late night, so we just went to the apartment and tried to get some dinner out. It was around 11.30pm, so about all the shops were closed. We managed to get to the supermarket before it closed though, so we bought food and cooked it at home. Oh, at the supermarket, I saw this guy, just wearing a jacket and leaving it half-open. Can see his mountainous chest hair la! I also puked. Yucks.
At the apartment, my sister and I had ham with melted cheese sandwiches! It was so funny cause my dad set it to 4 minutes in the oven. I actually went, "So long?!" Then later my sister brought in the food to our room, and the cheese was all over the plate. Haha! Supersuper cheesy. Played a bit then went to zzzz.
28th May Vancouver
Woke up at like, 5am. So weird! My sister and I are like super close la. We were just sleeping, and EXACTLY at the same time, we woke up and turned to face each other. Lol! Quite cool right? Then we just lay in bed for a while. (sharing beds cause we only have 3 beds here and six people! D: ) Then we got up and went to wake up our parents by hugging them super tightly, shaking the bed, jumping on the bed etc. XD super funny.
Went shopping, bought nothing D:. So sad right?! Ah wells.
29th May Vancouver
Woke up at 7am, cause stayed up late till 2am talking to waye. Haha! His fault. Blame him. Went to disturb the parents again! :D
We went to some shopping place. I saw a souvenir shop and spent tons of money there! And nothing I bought was for me. XD For all my darling friends! :D That's all I bought actually.. HAHA.
I was walking on the street also, and I saw this drawing of Johnny Depp that someone was selling.
Me and sis: How much is one?
Man: 15 dollars
Sis: How? You want or not?
Me: No, so ex.
Man: How much you want?
Me: Huh? No, no, nevermind.
Me and sis: *walks away*
Man: Fu** you people,
fu** y'all.
Me and sis: ...
Haha, I wanted to buy for Becks and Ting, but quite ex. :x Shall think about it, cause I have money from my parents.
30th May Vancouver
Ting, you will SO die when you hear this! Diva was having a MAJOR sale! Buy 1 item, 20% off, 2 items, 30% off, 3 items or more, 40% off! I bought your prezzie le! :D Yup! Me and my sister bought lotsa stuff from there. <3 Still haven't gotten Shao Wei a prezzie, cause the jewelry there doesn't seem like the few kinds she would wear. :/ Shao is exclusive! XD
After shopping, we went back for our usual afternoonn nap. Heyy, we shop for super long! We're tired! XD
I was extreme sleepy and when my mum woke me up, I was like
mmmmmmmmmgp. go 'way. Then I stumbled to my computer to check my email, me, being blur, didn't realise everyone was waiting for me. My bro went, "Li, LET'S GO." in his impatient voice. How dare that bitch use that tone on me. I didn't talk to him for the rest of the day. Go to hell la.
Me and my sister saw this super cute dog standing outside this restaurant and tried to pat it. It nearly bit my sister's fingers off. O.o
Yesterday night, talked to Waye till 3am. Hehehe. Then lay awake in bed till 5am. Woke up at 7am. XD
TODAY 31st May Vancouver
Today was a good day. I continued to ignore my brother and we went to Chinatown! :D Me and my sister saw this super cute machine, you know, those that have toys inside? You can see them at
www.iloveegg.co.uk They're darn cute! Later, we went back and spent $36 trying to get the whole set, hehehe. It was so fun! :D They're major cute okay! My sister took a picture of them. Lotsa love for them! Haha, we only got 6 repeats. Not bad la! At first she was the lucky one who didn't get any repeats, then after that she kept getting them, so she let me do it instead and I got the last two ones in two tries! So cool right?! I think it's cause I accidentally stepped on her slipper. XD haha. So fun! I have the bestestest sister in the world. On the way home, I saw this dog and tried to pat it. It growled at me before I even touched it. So I got scared and walked away. XD Haha, I commend myself for not running. I still love the dogs here though! It's amazing how open people are to dogs here! :D You know that you can go into a food shop and if you're eating outside, borrow a water bowl?! They even let dogs into shops! You see cute dogs everywhere! A definite must visit for dog-lovers like me. Heartheartheart! :D
Went to chinatown today, by the way, that's where the shop is. There's this super dodgy place nearby, where all the drug addicts hang out, and unfortunately, we had to pass through. I was really scared. I've never been so frightened of anything in my life. There was this guy, just at the head of it. He was wearing a jacket and smoking a cigarette, going "money for a hamburger?" I would have given it to him, but we were walking too fast, and I figured that since he could afford a cigarette, he could afford a hamburger. We entered this street. My goodness it was scary okay. There were people smoking everyone. And there was this archway, where a couple was sitting, you could tell both were on drugs. The girl's face was all red and her eyeballs were rolled back into her head and staring at her boyfriend like she wanted to kill him. The boyfriend was just blank-looking. Then we walked past this shop and this woman walked out, in a bra and jacket and pants. Then we passed this super vandalised wall and I read 'Boulevard of Broken Lives'. We finally got out, and I was so scared that one of them were following us back to the apartment. I kept looking back. It's really scary to know that anytime one of them may spring at you with a knife or gun or something. :x
Ah wells. I also read these two magazines that I got from Urban Fare. One cover has Johnny Depp on it, and another the black spidey! Exactly why I bought them in the first place - DUH! :D Haha, not a DIEHARDLOVE johnny fan, but Becks and Ting are! :D Hehee.
So, now it's like, 2.44am. STILL talking to Waye. :D
------------------------
Poem time! Don't chase me if it sucks, I'm just writing it here as I post on my blog, I haven't actually written it yet.
I am none but an old beggar
In the streets
People pass by
Hands laden with shopping bags
and plenty of food
Mine hold none but grit and dirt.
In the streets
I wrap my torn
pieces of clothing around me
Shivering in the crisp autumn wind
Biting at my fragile body
I am none but an old beggar
In the streets
My days are numbered
I have few to live
No one spares a thought
For the hunched figure on the pavement
In the streets
An adult passes by
I stretch out a hand
'A penny
For the homeless?'
I am none but a beggar
In the streets
He passes by,
Without even a glance
I look at the floor
Disappointed again
Without a morsel of food
Behind following a young child
Not expecting anything
From an innocent youth
I am none but a beggar
In the streets
But she presses something
Hard and cold into my still
Outstretched hands
And whispers words
Into my ear
That ring forever more
She left with a smile
And a friendly wave
"God loves you".
Oh my goodness, don't comment on that.
