soooo, we got up at a very early time...five something?or six something? nooo idea :)
and when we arrived at the place where the bbus would pick us up, we found out we were quite early, so we decided to stay in the car, the most logical thing to do, unlike some people who waited outside, but i reckon they got there by taxi so yeah.
anyway, the people in the car next to us were really really weird...
they kept staring at us!!!!!! and then i started doing my hair and put my beanie on and they just watched me! the whole time! like wthhh ! me and viv caleld them "inspectors"
wells, we got on the bus [asian tour company okay, the tour guides speak both canto and mando and they have a hilarious fobby accent, but not as awesome as my grandpa's of course] and turns out that some buses were late becuase they froze up or something, so we got driven to china town and had to wait for our bus. like freaking -7 degrees or something arghhh had to wait for 5-10 minutes.
oh wells, we got on the bus, nice and warm and listening to fobby accent talking and drove to AMERICA!!!!
when we got to the borderline, so cool when our tour guide said
"and pass these gates is AMERICA!"
took AGES to be allowed through, had to wait for more than 30 minutes. and then we got back on the bus and drove ;)
next stop was pennsylvania at the info centre which was a TOILET BREAK, picture break [okay that sounds REALLY fob but blah] and hot drink break!!! in our case viv spilt some mocha tsk tsk tsk.
took some photos...umm...those will be up later....on facebook
thenn back onto the bus, more snoozing and when i woke up we were in NEW JERSEY!!!
the snow was really really heavy, and the highway was terrible. you couldn't even see the roads - it was just this massive strip of snow...road....okay in other words there weren't any lanes becuase the snow covered up the lines that separated them. meaning it was really really dangerous and yep we saw a car crash. as well as heaps of trucks carrying about 10 cars that had broken down lol.
oh and another thing is, since the snow is so heavy there, most of the cars had a blanket of snow on them, so if you looked from above at night you would just see little white dots moving bahaha.
i don't think the government/council of new jersey would bother to scrape off the snow on the highway anyway......meh, we spent practically an hour on the highway since we had to go really slow, about 20-30 km/h
hardly a highway.....lol
by the time we got off the highway it was around 7pm, so we headed off to a seafood buffet that had sounded really promising by our tour guide.
i was extremely disappointed and became scared of american food.
highlights of buffet:
1. SUSHI!!!!!
2. sago dessert soup...thing?
and um that's about it.
[what's the antonym to highlights? downlights?] bad...things of the buffet
1. pretty much all the food was either swimming in butter, deep fried and then drowned in butter, deep fried and not drained properly so there were sickening puddles of oil in the bowls
eg. baked salmon. oh wait it's swimming in butter. lovely!!!
garlic and BUTTER mushrooms
salt and pepper squid/frog legs that were deep fried [obviously]
2. THERE WAS THIS BUCKET OF MELTED BUTTER AS A SAUCE. WTFFFFF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. the dessert was kind of hilarious. most of the biscuits weren't even made there, they were still in their packaging at the table LOL way to go.......
hahahaha, when i had dessert i took teeny bits of each thing that looked edible, so when i tried this pudding thing i took a teeny little splodge of each. and i chopped off a little bit of mocha cake and then i turned around and saw one of the workers walking up to the dessert table looking pretty pissed off so i left......XD
the end result of the dessert is awesome. just wait for pictures.
other thatn that, me and viv had fun video caming and taking pictures of the snow outside. and yeahh wait till i get proper internet lol.
after an...um..interesting. dinner...we got to our hotel - double tree hotel!
turns out the Hilton has a family of hotels, and DTH was one of them. we got 2 free freshly baked choc chip cookies. realy really yummy
i still have one left in my bag...ANYBODY WANT IT? =D as well as shortbread cookies and nuts and dried fruit and sponge cake and a muffin which is squashed i think...
hotel was supposed to be 5 star, not sure how it works out like that when our bathroom was smaller than the 3 star one [novotel in toronto]
ahh wells, had a swim, fb and blogged and then slept at like 1am and woke up 4.5 hours later.
done!

day eight. and yes this post is about shopping.
SO ON DAY EIGHT WHICH WAS A THURSDAY I WOKE UP AND I WENT AND HAD A PRETTY LIGHT BREAKFAST WHICH CONSISTED OF 2.5 PANCAKES AND MY USUAL CEREALS AND FRUITS.
i realised i hate their pancakes. they taste like they're from a packet mix. HMPH! only thing that makes them taste nice is the maple syrup, of course.
blah blah blah blah blah and then i had tea and i went upstairs to get dressed etc etc etc la la la. and then we left for square one shopping mall WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh wait i have a feeling we did something before that....yeah we got congee for grandpa and we dropped it off but i can't remember cos i was napping in the car.
anyway, SQUARE ONE!
since i'm in toronto, the average temperature in the morning is around -10 to -15 degrees blah!
so when i got into the car i said
"arghh the seat is too cold for my butt! it's going to freeze"
and as i said this condensation happened teehee!
annd we had to walk like 80m to the entrance from the carpark outside, hollyyyy shiiiit the wind was so cold my whole face froze and my hair went retarded...
my forehead got really cold too! so then i got sick =( and got a terrible runny nose
AND MY STUPID SISTER. I ASKED HER FOR THE MOISTURISER IN THE CAR BUT THAT BITCH SAID SHE LEFT IT IN THE HOTEL, UNTIL I WENT THROUGH HER HANDBAG WHEN WE SAT DOWN IN THE CENTRE AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS IN THERE THE WHOLE TIME, AND THAT MY WHOLE FACE WAS SUFFERING AND MY NOSE WAS ALL RED AND SORE AND IT HURT BECUASE I BLEW MY NOSE TOO MUCH AND SHE HAD THE FKING MOISTURISER A;SLDKFJAPWOEIHGA;LKSHDF;ASLDKFJ.
oh and my lips started cracking and bleeding and peeling but i had lip balm at the ready so chyeah.
haha anyways, the first store i went into was for my mother, and then i got bored and went into the next store which sold lots of t shirts and some explicit stuff.
an example was a pillow which said
"IF YOU'RE READING THIS, THEN WE DID IT LAST NIGHT."
after that we went up a level, just browsing the stores until we came upon "GUESS"
which had a sale on. and mum decided to go in but i said "guess is really expensive!" and she said "okay we'll just have a look"
yes. totally "just have a look"
we ended up spending over an hour in there....and i tried at least 10 pairs of jeans :)
and bought two of them. and a pair of some hot suede and leather boots.
BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT! OF COURSE, SINCE I ONLY BUY CHEAP STUFF THEY WERE ON SALE!
both jeans were from a rack that were already reduced jeans and had a FURTHER 50% OFF!
boots were also already reduced, AND another 50% off!
YAY!
viv got a pair of jeans and a really nice black dress. mum got two handbags which were both on sale [me and viv got this really cute purple one, only 50 bucks!!!!!] and perfume. which smells really nice but i think she's giving it to my auntie aww
annd there was a deal that if you spent over 130, you'd get a tank top worth 50 bucks
so me and viv got one each. YAY!
don't even ask how much we spent...
sighh and there was this really pretty gold love heart bracelet, already reduced AND 50% off!
so cheap, only 12 bucks! from GUESS, which is a pretty good brand.
but i wasn't bothered to get it =D
anyways after that we went to walmart and got something lah lah lah luckily we didn't have a retarded worker but we still had someone pretty slow. i swaer walmart hires slow workers ==" fking losers
then we had to go to aldo to buy suede protector, but then we got lost so we bought it from a diff store for same price as aldo but a smaller bottle =="
and on the way back we found aldo. BLAH!
and thenn...we went to food court and bought burger king for grandpa cos he likes it [no shit]
and then we went to nursing home, gave the burger to grandpa which made him very happy and i fell asleep on his bed ehehehe.
and then we had dinner and went back to the hotel.
and i went to the gym. and killed my ankles and back on the treadmill because i was wearing volleys, and i have flat feet, so i had the worst support for my feet....ehehehehe.....
anyways end of day 8!
lah lah!

anyways end of day 8!
lah lah!
YES I AM A FEW DAYS LATE. A;SLKDJFASL;KJF. continuation of shopping part on day 7. which i can't really remember now >_>"
so so so where did i go...obviously i went shopping. actually i've been shopping everyday since i arrived at melb airport. well, i would say "buying stuff" cos technically buying mags to read on the plane isn't shopping. is it? oh whatever don't give a crap those mags stink of planes now *gags*
just give it to someone else to read, sniff and then gag over
okay, so, we went to the "canadian version of dfo which has many stores that are all huuuugee in size and have pretty good sales on and are so big that they have their own separate store and you have to cross roads and streets to get to some of them."
hem hem.
my first reaction was
"WOOOWWWWW WHY IS IT SO BIG?!"
really, should've been
"WOOOWWWW YAAAAY LOTS OF SHOPS!"
and then my rents would'fve probably have been like
"oh no my money is going to run away in a very short time"
which i kinda did. KINDA. either way, i managed to save a lot! i only bought things that were on sale, and yes i love being asian and cheap.
so, first actual clothing store i went into was jacob. now, the clothes there are pretty hot, just like JACOB BLACK, but let's not get onto him yet. i haven't even watched new moon yet =="
oh wait one thing on him, taylor lautner was on the cover of canadian men's health magazine. AND AND WTF MAN HE HAD A FULL LENGTH SHIRT ON!
i was like
"why does he have a top on?! we can't see his abs!" when i saw the mag in walmart OMG WALMART so freaking big
and then viv was like
"okay well they want to show that he still looks good with a top on"
WELL NO SHIT.
and then i said
"okay, but, at least they could make him wear a sleeveless top."
it was funny, he looked so teeny because there was this huge space around him and the texts, it looked like he wasn't buff enough to fit the required space on the cover bahaha. which isn't true.
speaking of celebs, i saw some girl that kind of looked like megan fox a few days ago. i bet she made her make up and hair just like megan's. except she didn't dress like her.
anyway back to canadian dfo.
BACK TO JACOB. they had awesome shirts for five bucks, so i bought two for my friends and one for me =D
annd, my t shirt isn't grey or purple or black! YAY! it's PINK! but not sickly pink, a nice subtle dark pink with birdies. which are black. but whatever :)
i mainly stacked up on some winter stuff - skivvies [how do you spell that?!], sweaters etc. got something that was originally 40 for 10, something 55 for 15, etc etc. see i saved money!!!
after that, we realisd it was SNOWING!! so we took lots of pics and a vid where we're all spastic =)
the stuff i bought at jacob was stuff that i dind't "desperately" need. what i really needed were some jeans! so we went into calvin klein and i tried on a few. canadian/usa sizing is wtf =="
unfortunately i couldn't fit into a size 0 *weeps* and size 2 was too big, and they don't make jeans in size 1.
POOH.
i wonder what size grace would be....lisa whatcha reckon? -2?
and grace if you're reading this and getting pissed...HIHIHIHI! XD just think of that H&M top i got you ;)
then then then, we went to costa blanca. originally we were just going to "take a look"
too bad "take a look" ended up as 1.5 hours hehehehe
my dad followed us inside, stilll looking like a fking walking orange omg and plonked onto a chair. which he abandoned after me and viv were clearly not "taking a look" for the car and said we had until 7pm
me and viv: 'wooooooooow nice stuff!'
"OMGG LAURA LOOK THIS DRESS IS 7 DOLLARS. ORIGINALLY 50!"
"ZOMGG LEMME SEE-EEEEEEWWWW..."
it was this pink, tight fitting low cut dress, with sparkly thing studs on it [i think, i can't remember...i might be thinking of a diff dress. blah]
but i tried it on anyway, becuse it was 7 dollars. and it looked quite slutty ewwies.
but OMG THEY HAVE AWESOME SHOES! lots of cute flats and hot heels espesh heeled boots which i got viv to try.
i was going to buy some red flats except they weren't chaep enough for me. 30 bucks down to 19. i would buy if they were 10.
and viv was going to buy a pair of shoes a 1-2 sizes bigger, just for the sake of it cos they looked nice, except WTF the people didn't even have the other shoe in the pair
anyway imo they weren't cheap enough. 50 bucks. that was full price, and, seirously, a good pair of boots should've been like 70 to 90, and if they were on sale for 50 i'd buy.
ah, it was funny. at one point me and viv both found something awesome and cheap at the same time.
so our conversation from the other ends of the shop went like this:
"VIVIAN! COME HERE!"
"NO LAURA YOU COME HERE!"
"COME HERE!"
"YOU COME HERE!"
"FINE!"
can't remember what we had found...ohh i think viv found this pretty cool jacket.
it looked nice, but when i tried it on i realised that it had the padded shoulders which were "in" this year, but now they're not and they look weirdd as.
sighh speaking of jackets i saw this really really cool white one, a trenchcoat with horizontal buttons and everything XD
but they only had size 6 :( :(. 80 bucks to 24 ZOMGGG!
if only they had size 8 and i would've bought it *weeps*
ahh, so funny, i saw so much stuff i wanted, and i ended up going in the changing room 3 times trying at least 10 diff types of clothing
and then i walekd out with about....2 or 3. XD
and made my dad wait for 45 mins in the car. my lame excuse was
"oh i walked out at 7 but i couldn't find your car."
anyway he got really really pissed off and started shouting etc etc etc. oh and we ended up getting out of the store completely at around 7 50 LOL
anyways that's my lovely adventure on day 7.
now for day 8 and 9. *grumble*
just give it to someone else to read, sniff and then gag over
okay, so, we went to the "canadian version of dfo which has many stores that are all huuuugee in size and have pretty good sales on and are so big that they have their own separate store and you have to cross roads and streets to get to some of them."

it looked nice, but when i tried it on i realised that it had the padded shoulders which were "in" this year, but now they're not and they look weirdd as.
sighh speaking of jackets i saw this really really cool white one, a trenchcoat with horizontal buttons and everything XD
but they only had size 6 :( :(. 80 bucks to 24 ZOMGGG!
if only they had size 8 and i would've bought it *weeps*
ahh, so funny, i saw so much stuff i wanted, and i ended up going in the changing room 3 times trying at least 10 diff types of clothing
and then i walekd out with about....2 or 3. XD
and made my dad wait for 45 mins in the car. my lame excuse was
"oh i walked out at 7 but i couldn't find your car."
anyway he got really really pissed off and started shouting etc etc etc. oh and we ended up getting out of the store completely at around 7 50 LOL
anyways that's my lovely adventure on day 7.
now for day 8 and 9. *grumble*

day SEVEN. technically it should be day six because i went back a day, but blah.
i'm broke. literally. but kinda happy? keep reading if you want to know why...but i'm guessing you probs know why hahaha
hum, so, at breakfast, i was quite disappointed. i saw the "pancakes" label on the table, and i opened up the lid of the hot thing thing and guess what
no pancakes
but french toast
GOOD JOB NOVOTEL CAFE PEOPLE, GOOD JOB.
okay at least maple syrup was there =="
anywa yi had the usual, egg white, cereal, ham with cottage cheese and fruit.
i'm so sick of it ughhh >____>"
and i'm sick of congee, noodles, dumplings, wontons, rice, bread...
i miss.. um... I MISS MY ALMONDS AND BOILED WATER *SOB SOB SOB*
haha, so, we then went to get congee and wontons for my grandparents, and as usual i slept in the car, like SID, FROM ICE AGE APPARENTLY LOL WTH and dropped them off at their nursing home.
then we went SHOPPING!!!
three words
OH
MY
GAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWD.
the shopping area was basically just heaps of stores, all pretty big, at dfo prices so like 40-70% off in every store. they were all outdoor though, which was really bad because outside was like -5 dgrees and inside 25 degrees or something warm like that, so it was swtiching from warm to cold warm to cold warm to cold
and i was too lazy to keep my jacket on for the whole time, so, i'm expecting to get sick soon...
hopefully my daily citrus fruits at breakfast will keep my vitamin c up!
first store we went to was this home living one.
OMGGGG they had this whole aisle, of all these awesome special foods
there was this tin of flavoured sugar, and you invert some onto the rim of the lid, and you dip the rim of the mug of coffee or tea or whatever onto it, so when you drink yoru tea, you have a rim of flavoured sugar! GENIUS!!!!!!
and there were other awesome foods bahah there was this jar of layered cookie mix. so pretty!
it was..3/4 of first layer was flour, then a layer of brown sugar, a layer of caster sugar, another layer of brown sugar and then choc chips
i tried to get them to all mush up by shaking it but then the person started giving me this pissed off look so i stopped......
and there was this GINORMOUS mixing bowl, would've bought but wtf as if i'd be able to bring it back LOL be like this bulge in the suitcase..speaking of my suitcase it's overflowing
i think i'll have to leave some clothes at hong kong or give to homeless people :)
next was electronic store, i just stood in front of the harry poter blu ray dvd LOL
hmm. before i forget
embarrassing moment from dad number 3:
my dad's jacket is this poofy, waterproof bright fluro orange one. and he always wears a black beanie, which bobs over his head.
now, everybody in toronto wears dark colorus in winter, so their jackets are either black or dark brown
meaning, my dad really stood out. and people kept staring at him. AND he wore sunglasses WTF?!
therefore, me and viv decided that whenever possible we would act like we didn't know this man, because, honestly, HE LOOKED LIKE A WALKING ORANGE.
i have a strange family.
and since i'm on the topic of strange family members, i'll mention my grandpa.
my grandpa LOVES to eat. he east anything. but it's kind of cute haha. anyway, everyday we've been getting them congee and wonton and noodles etc etc. so today when we visited him, he was in a really good mood cos we brought him food
and he's like
"i am going to stay in this nursing home for the rest of my life. but i am very very happy! because they give me free food! and they have nice food! and i like to eat!"
"whenever you go to grocery store, asian, european, costco, whatever. make sure you buy the black grapes! they are very very cheap! and veerryy sweet! the sweetest! gong gong [grandpa in canto] likes to eat them! so whenever you go, you buy three packets, two for you and one for me! ahh, i like to eat them. i can eat a whole bag"
"ahh, that was very good [after finishing congee]. ahh it's 4 30! nearly time for dinner [he eats at 5]. good, more food! and then after that is snack time!"
and since this is in a fobby accent and grammar, makes it even more funny. anyway enough about weird family members!
HIGHLIGHTS:
1. went shopping!!!!! oh man, all you girls out there, i feel so lucky, being able to experience sooo many stores that are bigger than ones in shopping centres, and ones that are exclusive to usa and stuff ANNNNND ARE ON SALE!!!
i will put a separate post on that...=D
2. it snowed! like, full on snowed!!! all the cars went all white because of the snow. they're called "flurries"
me and viv took lots of pics, we tried to eat the snow by standing with our mouths wide open but that just look really retarded and it wasn't working, and we took vids too! i picked some snow up and took a pic, arghh my hands were dying when that happened haha. so weird, in the afternoon it was colder and it was really windy, but not snowing, but in the evening when it WAS snowing it was warmer?
meh, at least it meant i could spend more time outside taking photos and not freezing
3. i think we're going to new york on saturday! if i don't get internet i'll cry, i'll be having MASSIVE blogs about that
meh, as long as i have heaps and heaps of pictures, i'm happy enough =)
4. when i go to hong kong i get a haircut, and maybe i'll suck up to my mum to let me get highlights...
POST A COMMENT and tell me what haircut i should get and what colour XD
anybody know any streets that have good hair salons in hk? and grace i know you told me but uhhh i cbs looking for it in our long emails
5. i'm wearing my awesome nike top!
