the way you move it ain't fair you know

Got the song Hey soul sister stuck in head from it blasting at least 3 times in xian's car today. But had an AWESOME day!!!!


Laurel creek is beautiful with grassy trails, and the sky a cloudless periwinkle blue above as we cascaded across. There was nine of us, plus one dog. two girls and 7 guys, 1 singaporean, one canadian, 4 malaysians, 2 japanese and a german The dog was one of those small fluffy dogs, but was friendly and super energetic!!! definetley more lively than keegan who would have dead really quickly.

Everytime we were on the grassy trails i could imagine cantering madly down them, hearing nothing but the wind swooshing behind you and feeling the power beneath you and you cling onto your horses' neck trying hard not to scream but enjoy the ride.

Ok back to laurel creek.... then walked back to the picnic site and set up a lunch of tuna sandwhiches with egg salad, zuccinis and tomatoes. For dessert we dined upon cherries, grapes and bananas.

By now, the grounds where filling up with families setting up tents, chairs, mats and umbrellas, also the canoes were all gone. After registring at the offie ce, we were told to wait for an hr as all th canoes were out. So i rolled out the beach mat while the boys played frisbee on the grass.

Later xian and huei joined me on the mats. Xian kept asking me to teach him how to 3 do a forward roll which i demonstrated ( even though i hadn;t done it in a while)

Finally we got to go canoeing on the lake. As there were only 2 seats on the canoe, I sat in the middle. It was really really easy, with zero wind, i barely had to paddle, the thre eof us ( xian, will and me) just ended up floating around on the lake. The sun was out but not too sunny.

Uponthe return, the three of us laid out on the mat again and relaxed while the others went out canoeing.

What i did the last few days....
Ive had a good few days, and been in good spirits. Enjoyed the company of so many wonderful friends.
Canada Day- It probably was not a terribly good idea to do this on just 4 hrs of sleep ( previous night) But with fucking aching arms fro.m the intense workout the previous day, i dragged myself out of bed and walked to columbia lake, making it in time for the 12 noon shift. I was to work in concessions with two other girls ( i at first thought they were maybe first or secondyears, but they were in fricken high school) I have to say, my curry-up job for the first time was of USE!!! I had to work cash and BOY was it a SLAM. I don't want to explain another burger combo again. Plus we used old mac computers, they took HOURS to set up ( they were set up by an IT person who resembled santa claus, without the jolliness though) I felt kinda bad having to turn people away, cos we took like 1/2 an hr to set up all the damn tills and get them ALL to work.

I worked for 4 1/2 hrs straight!!!! the two high schoolers just took off once their replacements turned up. I was fricken hungry as volunteers are not allowed to eat until their shifts are over. Frustrated and hungry i had to serve customers still...

FINALLY ended my shift and got to eat two FREE hot dogs and h wie a drink, then met up with xian, lim and ian to watch the uw accapella grp, a kung fu demonstration, and UW hip hop perform. After that, headed home to change out of my jeans ( my legs were overheating) into shorts and then bus over to michele's to get my bag.

Michele is awesome, we spent 2hrs playing with her cat and talking. Maybe i should have considered taking that " village on the green" townhouse, i would be near to ALL my curry up co-workers!!!!
Then left, and hurried down to columbia for the fireworks, I HAVE HONESTLY NEVER SEEN SOOOOO MANY PEOPLE GATHERED IN KW before ( there are that many ppl that live here??) Fireworks were beautiful against the clear, velvety sky. Watched the fireworks with huei, logen, xian and his friend.

the day before
Damn fitnenss class was intense, the instructor was a skinny brunette who insisted on KICeKING OUR ASSES, well in weights anyway. I have NEVER been challanged sooo much with weights, ever in my life, (they were five and eight pound ones) Yes even water buckets were not soo intense!!! Then rushed home and realised to my dismay that i had stupidly locked myself out of the house and had to wait a whole 1/2 hr to get back in.

Once i got back home, i showered, dressed and left quickly. I was to meet michele at her place to go to the bomber. I met her roommate ( a more exaggerated, and pushed up version of herving self) but an awesome girl. Then we headed over to some guy's place at CLV before taxiing in to SLC, ( which i call my personal living room) hell i spend TOO much time there. The lines were INTENSE, but being feds staff ( hell yeah!!) we got in through the side entrance, bypassing the line and getting carded. The place was PACKED , this was my first time out drinking the WHOLE term. The patio was often so me, michele and her roommate went to sit outside, where we met a regular customer of ours who immediately started cosying up to michele ( even though she said she was rebounding after a break-up with on-again, off-again boyfriend) and her roommate, i took no part in this and just danced around, drank a bit and chatted with ppl. Michele lost her phone in the end and we went ehome at 3am. I was soo tired but glad i got a lift home. Walked into my room and then heard a noise.. CRAP i forgot Shiue lin had stayed the night!!
