happy new years!

happy new years to all who read this.. =D

started my day rather.. unusual? hm.. i woke up in my suitcase.. i was up til 2am packing for my winter retreat trip that was in 3 days.. i was so exsausted.. that i just decided to nap were i was.. on the cover of my suitcase... and my nap.. ended up being until the next day...

then church.. it started out pretty normal.. and today's service was diff.. it was all prayer... in groups of 4.. my group, mee.mary.agnes.michelle.

after service we just sat in the inner court and talked.. mainly because i didn't want to walk around.. it was cold.. = / then my tummy started to feel weird.. ><" then we played cards.. and discussed what we're going to do during retreat.. and what we're going to wear for the formal dinner.. and what we're going to do for new years..

homee

went on msn as i worked on my unicef project.. i think this is how my new years is going to be wasted.. doing school work.. POOH-IEEE!! and if i dont do it now.. i wont have time.. im busy the rest of the holiday.. so britt asks me to go over to her place for the count down.. i think she might be a bit disappointed at me now.. its her millionth time asking if i can go out and hang with her and ashes and ppl over the holidays.. and not once did i get a chance to.. ahh.. guilty-ness.. =( as least i got her a pressie.. =)


this past year.. has been memorable and a very busy one... so much happened.. things that i've experienced - more bad than good, had changed the way i think and changed the order or things i care about most.

the first thing that comes to mind.. would be.. my trip to hong kong.. this past summer was my first time in 8 years.. so i was excited.. i remembered previous years that i went.. it was so funn.. my cousins were a blast.. and we were like best friends.. mainly.. all the memories got me all excited.. but when i was there.. i can't say it felt the same i did before.. i was homesick plenty.. my cousins couldnt care less about me. and i was pretty much alone the whole time.. as my mom was with my aunt.. i was either alone, or babysitting my cousin that only complains.. i learned to appreciate everything i had back home.. even the littlest things.. and it changed me.. to always look to see if others are left out in anything..

then vancouver, that was just pure funn.. i was slightly missing home and friends.. but i was happy... there was no anger.. it was pure smiles..

then earlier in the year.. TC2oo6 - well.. that is always a memory.. =)

and softball outings.. its been the first in the longest time going to something 'sporty' other than with school..

there's more.. but i dont feel like posting.. =]


welcoming 2oo7 . hope this will be a great year for everyone! =DD

3 day buffalo trip

Dec 25, o6

Woke up at 9:25am, brushed up and I just sat there staring at my suitcase to see if I forgot anything. I then called mary to see if she can take care of Sheldon - my froggie [named by Janice] amuzingly she was out.. o_O but she got home pretty fast.. so then we dropped off froggie at mary’s at 10:22am.

Then we headed to ‘ahh king’ or perfect restaurant, arrived at 10:30am, on time =) to meet everyone; Lam fam (uncle jimmy, auntie kim, shelby&bethany, Lai fam (uncle senny, auntie sally, angel&Kelvin), Poon fam (uncle Stanley, auntie mona&jane), my fam and Jordan. I personally didn’t know that Jordan was coming with us.. = /

Then we began the long car ride to the niagara.. We got out to take

pictures and then we went pass the bridge.. and waited on rainbow st. (?) for everyone to get through.. [lai’s car took the longesttt xD]

then we got to holiday inn, and checked in. room 615.. as lam is in 620, poon’s – i dunno..., lai+jordan’s 612 .

dinner at 5:30pm, in the hotel restaurant -- denny's.. since it was christmas.. they closed early, 6pm... there were only 3 people working.. and we booked a seat ahead of time.. so we sat in the front to be seated.. and these [not to be racist] black people came in wanting to eat also.. but the restaurant said that it was past 6.. and she got all made yelling and cursing as she slowly made her way out.. saying that they would serve [us], chinese . japs . koreans and such.. and not them.. yes.. called us japs.. and we had a big of a scramble cause of that.. anyway... dinner was good.. other than the whole.. commotion?

after we swam.. and had a junk food meeting.. where we sit and eat.. junk food in front of the tv.. it was funn.. =)

Dec 26, o6

started the morning off even earlier than school.. x( suckks… so we got breakfast in our room.. i liked the pancakes.. xD

not too much later we went out again.. shopping… there at the mall at 9 in the morning.. don’t think i’ve done that before.. but i loved that mall.. for get the name of it.. but it was awesome.. i got so much stuffs.. and i was so tired by 2pm.. we ate lunch in the food court..

went to target to do some shopping.. but me personally.. I didn’t like target so much.. =/ its more like walmart.. but target…

then for dinner we went to old country buffet.. it was good.. but i didn’t like the mac&cheese as much as everyone else.. *shrugs*

went back to the hotel… and i didn’t swim again.. as some people did.. then we met in a room watching tv, talking.. playing cards and eating..

-- sleep..

Dec 27, o6

started the morning with packing.. finished pretty soon and fell asleep again… xPP but i finished packing.. so it was all ok.. =) then we got breakfast in our room again.. and once again.. i liked the pancakes.. =D

out to boulevard mall… early in the morning.. 9:45am? the mall just opened, but the stores weren’t.. so we stood in front of the stores as they set up.. felt like we were stalking them or something.. *sigh* love those stores.. but so expensiveee… D= but still.. i got a shirt on sale… =))

we went to target again.. why? dunno.. but i went to best buy.. and drooled over the nanos.. i want one so bad.. pooh-iee.. so yea.. after i was done drooling over the nanos i went to the laptops and went online.. didn’t do much.. nothing actrully..

Lumas Reunion

wow what a dayyy... started at a early 7:30am.. on a holiday saturday.. how very rare.. and the reason? to buy candy canes.. happens that four.. FOUR stores where sold out of themm.. finally.. as my dad was about to blow for driving me around.. i found a store that had some.. but i made it quick so he doesn't have to stay for too long.. and so i was at the cashiers.. paying.. then some guy booked it out of the store.. i had no idea why.. and when i was walking out of the store.. i noticed that i didn't have my wallet.. i suddenly know why they guy booked it.. >< then i was like.. nawww.. i problably dropped it somewhere in the store.. so i go around looking for it.. not surprisingly.. not to be found.. so i left my name and number to the manager for them to call if they found it..

so all D= in the car.. going.. going.. i forget.. my mom calls me.. and tells me to go to 42 division to pick up my wallet.. and where was i suppose to know where 42 division is??? so i decided to bother mom to pick it up with me later.. since i probably caused a few white hairs for my pop's already.. but im not too surprised that they turned it in.. i had around 5 bucks in change.. and a whole lot of random cards that wont be useful to anyone.. yay! =DD im guessing that the person that it would have a lot of $$$ in it cause the wallet was an expensive wallet.. [got from my auntiee in hk.. =) ]

so i went to my dad's office to make the little candy cane reindeer.. only made one box.. and less than an hour later.. im at church.. i was so tired then..

only moments later cavina showed up.. so me.vina.and james sat on the couch.. and .. talked about the number 12.. yes.. the number 12..

we eventually made our way.. to the den [ ithink] and we played yank-ies swap.. fun.. and thx ankiee for filling in the pressie part.. [ if i only knew we were suppose to bring pressies.. ] and the popular gifts.. wes.w's pooh bear, toberone, wallet+$5 and i think those were the most popular.. and booo.. number 16 isn't so lucky.. i wanted poohs.. then i would have eeyore, lumpy AND poohs.. but i have a mini.. mini pooh.. so i guess its all good.. =) instead i got nancy's chOcOlaTe fondue thing.. *yumm*

after we ordered pizzaaahh.. and the smartie on the other end got a SmAll mixed up with a LarGe.. and jon.t was >= l --awww.. its ok! and the cakess.. good stuff good stuff..

then service.. ug.. it putt me all = l and for some very odd reason.. once im = l its a bit hard to get myself out of it.. but none the less, it was good.. candles.. im scared of lighters.. and such.. not so much of like.. camp fires tho.. probably cause i grew up seeing it a lot.. but lighters.. burnt me beforeee.. = / anyway.. while helping with the chairs my dad.. supposedly at something came to pick me up to go to east general [?? one at coxwell] to see auntiee louise, caught in a car accident.. with a truck.. o_O but she's ok.. she's ok.. so is her daughter.. a-okayy..

so waiting for the doc took a long time.. and i was at the hospital.. sitting there like a lump on a tree for .. 9:30 - 12.. 2 and a half hours.. and i hate the smell of hospitals.. ickk.. and i passed my old house.. =) haven't been there for a bit.. pharmacy and danforth.. so far from where i live now.. ><"

and i got home.. not too long ago.. and right after this post.. i have to make candy cane reindeers for my dears at church tomorrow.. =)
