Brisbane.

I know the blog name is Canadian Adventures, but I want to take a break on blogging about Canada wah!!!

Me and my housemates decided to go to the West end Saturday market.
We had to wake up at 6+ on a weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to go get the best deals!!

HAH!! I finally found a place that papa and mummy would enjoy if they came over!!!
It reminds me of Christchurch market!!!


Tons and tons and tons of apples!!!!!



I think the man in stripes forgot to buy something!!
Smacking his forehead!! mwahahha!



The place was crowded with people and doggies!!


See!! I told you it was really crowded!!!



Full of cheap stuff!!
Me and my housemates were acting like housewives comparing which stores are cheaper and what to buy!
I feel so trained as a housewife!!








DOG!!! When i patted it ah, macam got kutu!! -.-


My housemates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Fabulous food with lots of fats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Mummy would soooo like this!!!!!!
Orchids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEE HEEE HEEE!!!


My housemates and I = girls!
Girls cannot resist the niceness of flowers so, finish the equation!


Sunflower!!! =D


Mind our flaring nostrils!!!!!

West end open market is a wonderful place to visit when you're in Brisbane!
Lots of food, produce and lovely things!!

Kingston!

Aloha everyone!

Picking up after where I left, we went from Niagara falls to Kingston, where yiyi spent most of her uni years? Should be.
I could see why she loves Kingston as I was beginning to fall for it within the short stay.


We went visiting around her uni, pretending to be students! hee!!
and my, Queens uni is super big with throngs of students streaming all around us!!!



With lots of activity rooms where I could even try on the piano!

and lovely award winning architectural buildings!
Kingston is like a small town but specially built for accomodating the students studying in the uni.
It somehow reminds me of Hogswards and Hogsmeade or something like that! Pardon my harry potter jargon leh!


When we were there, yiyi's shifu and his partner, Grace, was kind enough to let us stay in their place!!
I even have my own room in the attic area!
Poor yiyi had to stay in the living room!
I was touched by their hospitality and the great food Grace prepared for us!!
Go vegans!
Hmmm, I dont think I have their pictures but I really appreciated their help!
They even drove us to visit places and have great thai tofu!

My japanese inspired room.
Sorry for the tilted picture!!
But as you might have known by now, I'm not as hardworking as I want myself to be!
hehhe.


Mummy and papa's room equiped with fridge!!!


Me and a yummy polar bear in a book store!! YUMMYY!!



I even had the chance to join yiyi and her kungfu club practising martial arts which i enjoy!
Okay, the person in the white orangish cool looking teeshirt was me!!






We spent the last few days shopping, in -39 degrees weather! can you believe it!!
my parents are the bomb!


We were all so very happy because of a shop which bring much joy to us!!
DOLLARAMA!! I wish there was one in OZZ!!!! =(
AND I VISITED WALMART for the 1st time HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



This is papa shoveling snow in the driveway, apparently if you dont, and someone falls over, they could sue you!!



Heee! trusty minicooper that could fit like 5 people in!!
So very similar to a clown car!!!



Mummy and papa happy because of good thai food!!


Eating spicy food to warm us up!



I actually got lost in the snow once, because I went to yiyi's uni to use the internet and got lost in the blizzard for like an hour!!!!!!
I swear, all the houses look the same in white!!!



Parents reluctant to leave kingston!!


Yiyi doesnt look very happy, leaving her lovely Kingston!!
