i have 3 mid terms to mug for and i'm still typing this. =) what to do, need to update the people at home. +)

Went to the "app-y festival" (APPLE festival) today with the gang sans daniel cos they guy was playing soccer with his weirdly-named team. There was this busker there playing the *gasp* HARP! My goodness me... you would never ever find a harp back home, much less someone busking with it. I was so captivated and i told myself my kids MUST learn how to play it in the future. It felt almost fairy-talish =)

We also went to an old folks' home today somewhere off chinatown. Felt really good to be doing something like that even in vancouver. Got me thinking as well. Why am i doing community service in here, when i'm not seriously active back home. Time for some serious reflection and action when i get home i guess. It was so much fun playing and laughing with all the gong-gongs and po-pos, even though there was a language problem. I can speak cantonese, but my po-po was speaking a unknown dialect. Plus, she was already 94 (that i would make out), so she was mumbling. I had a great time though... didnt regret my trip down at all even though i've always thought working with the elderly was tough. Guess it's my lucky first try. Joe felt right at home too, happily rattling off in cantonese with everyone... haha. He must have felt so good to be speaking Cantonese again after all the nonsense with us. I think we're all becoming more HK-ish. I dont even want to start talking about our acquiring of the HK accent and intonation. Dont ever get chris started!

Highlight of the day: CK and his bird-shit incident... haha. Freaking hilarious, cos he didnt even realise it till cass told him. And it was across his face, bag strap and bag. The bird must have been flying in a really weird direction.

Highlight of the day 2: YX and his oh-so-dashing combo today. The guy actually dressed up so nicely today all the gals were dying to take photos with him. You should do this more often dude. Amazing what some gel and a leather jacket can do to a person. =)

Highlight of the day 3: SELENA'S AUNT"S HOUSE AND DINNER! my goodness me, we deprived kids finally had a good, hearty home-cooked meal for the first time since we got here! (For me it was the first... for some people who love to self-invite, it'd be nothing new =) We had fried mee siam, curry chicken and decently cooked veg which actually tasted like what veg should taste! I think we stuffed ourselves silly. Plus, Selena had really nice relatives who were talking to us all the time... i felt so at home... =) I think we made too much noise playing CRAMIUM at their place, but we had a really good time. =) So much for Joe's Uno. haha...

OK... enough from me...i so desperately NEED to mug. Let's hope YX's coffee can work wonders. +) I'm really awake now though... just caught my parents online. I'm one happy girl. =)
