and so i took a train to Missisauga. aunty Ann and uncle Kam came to pick me up, and no time was wasted in getting me to Chinese food! bonus: had this yam thing that reminded me of my buddy!!
dropped by Pacific Mall, which is like mini Hong Kong. Scarborough is unbelievably Chinese!
next up; the main event of the trip, which is the SMA dinner. it was big and fancy, like a wedding banquet. not quite my kinda thing actually. but it was fun, and i got to meet some people too :)
one of the classic events of the night was this famous feng shui dude who was forecasting for the year. he said things like, for optimal results study in the northeast of your house, put your wealth in the north, avoid the south of your house etc. his name is Poney, sure commands respect eh?
Sunday after church, aunty Ann brought me to this restaurant that serves Singapore food. look, Nasi Lemak! and Tiger Beer, Singapore's (only) successful export. cousin and i said before we can't quite figure out why.
grocery shopping at T&T, a Chinese supermarket. it was so red
lastly, here's what aunty Ann packeted for me!
it's interesting how i ended up having a sort of Chinese New Year thing going on, when to begin with i was perfectly happy being here and not having any semblance of a cny celebration. everyone knows how bane i am to cny. still, it was nice being spoilt big time over the weekend, and finally getting to eat some Chinese food. thanks a lot, aunty Ann and uncle Kam!
