Ottawa!

I'm sorry for not updating this blog as much as everyone wants too, and it has seem like ages since the canada trip, but i'm trying my best!
Just finished exams and assignments and am looking forward to my easter holidays!!


So we were at kingston when I last updated!
and i noticed that there is a kingston EVERYWHERE!
in brisbane, new zealand and canada leh!
well, not exactly everywhere, there isnt one in brunei!


oh and before reading or looking at the pics, I'm sorry that im not a good editor person, i cant manage to make the pics rotate! so er.. everyone has to like tilt your neck.
SORRY!!




pictures of us on the train after eric and grace sent us off!
Yiyi doesnt look very happy leaving kingston!

and we're off to Ottawa!
where yiyi's friend, Catherine, welcomed and picked us up.

and off we went to the bruneian embassy because papa wanted to settle EE's allowances and things!
It was really kind of Catherin to drop us off.
we were awed by how large and lovely looking the bruneians embassy looked like!
It was like a rich person's mansion!
and i thought it looked so rich and all, but towards the end of the day, when i saw the arabian's embassy ah, the brunei one was so bleak in comparison!!
IT WAS LIKE A WHOLE SERIES OF BUILDINGS! -.-





us with Mr in-charge of EE's allowance!!!
forgot his name!!!! someone please remind me!
Ask me the chemical formula of glucose and i can answer but not names!!!
My mind is like half full of chemical formulas because of the exams!!

It was quite nice to have met someone from Brunei in a large country like Canada, and we chatted for a while, about bruneian students in canada and even national day! -.-



Exterior of bruneian embassy!


AHHHH!!! i remember already!! Haji Morsidi?? was even kind enough to send us off to the shopping mall!


Us having breakfast at Catherine's place!
i stayed in her living room in the air mattress which was hard for me to get up from because I always sink into it!
IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE NONTHELES!
=D


Catherine was ever so kind and even took the day off to bring us around the city!!
There was even a cute guy who looked cute, when i opened the door of a shop for him.
-.-!


Mouth watering cakes!!














Being all excited!
too much sugar!
=D

Catherine is a super artistic person who likes to go markets and antiques shops looking for unique stuff!
Her paintings around the house are SUPER PRETTY!

We really enjoyed the visits to small antique stores touching everything!
=D

Mummy wasnt really happy at the price of these wallets!!
I bet mummy could make a prettier one right?


Papa and the bison head!
the head costed like $1000?
dont remember! but it looks really scary tho!


The 2 cute sisters being high class on antique chairs


okay, i look like a baby here!


papa wanted me to take a pic of this so the garderner could make it when we got back!
mummy! show this picture to him ah!

us outside catherine's home!



I really wanted this teddy bear! but it costed like $25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I dont know who owned it previously! but it looks so sad sitting over there!!!



okay, bison head again!

im not really good at organising stuff!

MUMMY AND PATCHWORK!!!!


again!


A cute windmill thing!
You can find the most amazing things in antique stores!
& there was quite a number of antique stores in Ottawa.


At a chinese restaurant!!




We also met yiyi's in laws and had chinese buffet with them.
the taxi driver couldnt really find the place and we got lost!


OMG!
My stomach wouldnt forgive me after that!!
the good food~~~~~~~~~
It was really nice to meet yiyi's family in canada!

All of us!

the men!

So that summarises what we did in Ottawa, I dont know why I dont have much pictures on Ottawa!
so hopefully everyone enjoys this post!
and hopefully i'll blog more frequently!!

Have a great easter!!
