Ah.. :( It’s my last full day in Van­cou­ver, after 4 months of sum­mer. It’s a beau­ti­ful day!! No one is home to spend time with me, but I might go out later to say last good byes. I’ve par­tially done pack­ing but there are so many lit­tle things I don’t know where to put every­thing!! :( It’s mak­ing me go crazyy lol.

Yes­ter­day I ded­i­cated the whole day to Pret­ty­fuls. I went out with Jess in the noon to find a birth­day gift for her brother, down­town. After­wards we met up with Isa at Colling­wood to do the cross­word.. LOL hehe :D. Then we went up to Star­bucks, because Elaine was work­ing, where we also met up with Carol. We chit chat­ted a bit and updated each other on the lat­est news while doing the crossword :).

We met up with the rest of the group and pro­ceeded down­town, where I had reserved a 17 per­son table at Ebisu. Over­all it was a won­der­ful night see­ing every­one, but I also missed those that weren’t able to attend. *tear*

The night ended up with meteor shower watch­ing. T’was beautiful.

Thank-You every­one for attend­ing, and Patty for the meal <3.

Almost school time for me! A cou­ple of weeks until class starts, but I’ll be leav­ing on Sat­ur­day for my road trip with Car­o­line, back to school. I don’t even want to think about going back, despite how excited I am.

Chris gave me a call a cou­ple of days ago which really cheered me up…! Haha. It’s nice know­ing there’s at least peo­ple to look for­ward to when you have no other family/friends away from home :). I have 5/6 classes with him next semes­ter so we might drive each other a lit­tle insane.. :P

I’ve been just run­ning around lately to get all the lit­tle stuff I need before going for the school year: food, sup­plies, money (haha..), appli­ances, tables, etc. I’ve also been eat­ing out.. WAY too much to the point where I feel dis­gusted.. I’m def­i­nitely going to hit the gym right away when I get back to LA!! Such a fatty :)

Any­ways, yes­ter­day I went out with my mumma and grandma to Rich­mond so I could get some more con­tacts. Since I won’t be see­ing my grandma for a while I wanted to have dim sum with her. After I got home, I went go-karting with Des, Lisa, and Tommy at TBC in Rich­mond (why am I ALWAYS in Rich­mond??). Even though I was last.….….… it was still fun!! hahaha. We ended up eat­ing at Ajisen Ramen.

I cut my hair off. I miss my long hair.

Let’s run away and Don’t ever look back, Don’t ever look back.

Assorted pho­tos from Des, Mandy, Gail, Isa

We can dance, until we die.

I’ve already for­got­ten what I did in the past days.. which is why I take pic­tures — so I can ‘remember’.

Tues­day, 27th I went up to Star­bucks with Isa to visit Elaine and so we could do the 24hr cross­word — that’s how we roll. It’s been a life long goal of ours (okay, mainly Isa’s) to com­plete a whole cross­word. We tried, but in the end we got one word wrong. fail

Yes­ter­day, 28th

Such a ran­dom day. Isa and I decided to walk to Metro­town — stop ask­ing us if we’re crazy, because only lazy asses ask that. The walk is actu­ally NOT HARD. 30 mins each way, COME ON. We stopped by Star­bucks.…… again. I’m going to turn into a fat cow drink­ing these frapps, regard­less of how free they are LOL. Any­ways, we walked around and bumped into Carol.. pleas­ant sur­prise! ^_^

Man­ders asked to see if we wanted to go fire­works @ Jeri­cho and din­ner, but I promised dad I would go home for din­ner, so I ended up get­ting picked up later. Jeri­cho was nice.. except the fire­works were so puny it was bor­ing.. and there was a kid that just would NOT sit his ass down. adjlfda;ld/!!!

After Jeri­cho we went to Rich­mond for Twinkle2, but both Twin­kle and Twinkle2 were madly packed. Waste of timeee!! We ended up going to Time Hor­tons on Lougheed. Sat there and chit chat­ted for a while before we decided to go to the Grand Villa Casino.

I was already pretty tired by the time we were at Timmy Ho’s (around 1:30AM).. but since they wanted to go to the casino, I agreed and dragged myself along LOL. It was my first time in a real casino (last time I went was on a cruise ship), and imme­di­ately I noticed just how upset­ting the atmos­phere was. There were peo­ple sit­ting in front of slots that seemed like they were there for hours, using their last $5 in hopes of win­ning big. I have a per­sonal promise with myself to never ever even try to gam­ble — which includes lottery. :)

Any­ways, none of the girls wanted to gam­ble… so we walked around explor­ing the area. None of us knew that we would be going to a casino.. so there we were all scrubbed out in flip flops, hood­ies, and jeans. haha :D..

(pic­ture cred­its to Isa)

So tired. zZZZZZZzzz

Last week I called HP’s tech ser­vice to com­plain about my piece of shit lap­top and they’ve agreed to fix it for free, despite that I was forced to pur­chase a year of extended war­ranty for $159. They ended up charg­ing $179 on the credit card. I can’t stand this hor­ri­ble com­pany. I’m never going to buy any HP prod­ucts again.

Yes­ter­day Isa had her birth­day bbq, which turned out to be quite nice. It wasn’t a huge gath­er­ing and I enjoyed the won­der­ful orga­ni­za­tion LOL. We had chicken burg­ers, wein­ers, gar­lic bread, fries, ambrosia salad and plenty more of won­der­ful food. I left early to hang out with Pret­ty­fuls, while the rest went clubbing/the bar afterwards :)

With the Pret­ty­fuls, we went to Estea.. full of fob­bish servers LOL. Didn’t do much but chat­ted and then left around 11PM to go to [Rich­mond] Night Mar­ket. The Night Mar­ket has def­i­nitely filled out a lit­tle more as opposed to the begin­ning. I was really sur­prised it wasn’t all that busy. The food area had walk­ing space ! out­ra­geous right? I felt really sad for all those lit­tle dogs that were dragged around. Night Mar­ket is not an ideal place for lit­tle dogs to be

I was really hop­ing for a trip this sum­mer, to at least make this sum­mer mem­o­rable, but it seems like every­ones sched­ules clash.. so it’s a no go for Whistler. I don’t want to put any effort into orga­niz­ing if every­one is con­stantly wishy washy. :( I really can’t fight the feel­ing that this sum­mer has been the most depress­ing one of all.. Next sum­mer, hope­fully if all goes well I’ll be spend­ing a month or so in China !

Any­ways..  start­ing to pack again. It’s that time of the year ! — back to school :)
