Ok, I apologize for not blogging for the past two days, only because I was too busy with my last research paper for my History 1115 class. That was what I had been doing on Monday and Tuesday.
Today, during midnight I finally finished my last paper for the term. Thanks to Alvin Ma for being a nice guy and abandoned his strict deadline time, because I wouldn't have had completed my essay at 11:00pm. Though I finally finished it at 12:15am this morning and he helped me correct all grammatical mistakes.
I slept at 2:00am and woke up at 8:00am. This morning I only had rice but didn't eat a lot as I wasn't hungry. Therefore I left for school at 9:10am. I was in the library for a little while before heading in to class for our review section.
Yeah, all we did was review every chapters through group presentation, my group presented the medieval arts, which included viking arts and animal figures as well as interlace pattern stuff.
After class, I went to eat with my mom and her friend at a cafe at Fraser. I didn't really like eating much, so I ordered what I used to order, the chicken teriyaki rice with a lemon tea. They talked for quite a bit before leaving!
While at mom, I spend the three hours catching up on my dramas which I've missed for the past two days due to working my research paper. At 4:30pm, I left for school again and went to the library to hang out and then went to class at 6:00pm.
Today in class, we finished everything up by talking about the Stalin's purge Trials. It was a period of time, when he rid all oppositions in Russia through purges, executions and exile. It was the right thing to do, but was rather brutal. Though after, our instructor gave a bonus lecture on WW2 stuff, which included some of the major battles, like Barborossa, Midway, Atlantic, Bulge and many more. Though I didn't really pay much attention afterwards.
For the rest of the class after break, we had a review section where we divided ourselves in groups of 5 and started going over every topic that would be on the final exam. Though, we can leave early which was what I did along with the rest of my group members.
Once I got home, I had dinner which I didn't really eat much of and then head back to my room and now it's time to relax!!

Hockey Pool Year 4: Week 7 Results
The Fall Semester is just about to end, last week to go. But first things first, time to talk about some hockey pool.
In both of my pools, we've finally reached through everybody which was a good thing that we've get to play everybody first time which we get to know what it would be like, playing them.
In my NHL season, I played the second worst team this week. I'm expected to blow him out this week, but had couple of bad breaks at times which negated my hot run. I still prevailed by a score of 9-5. His goalies was slightly better than mines. He went undefeated. My only loss came from Antti Niemi who surrendered a loss to the Vancouver Canucks. In fact, both of my goalies took turn surrendering a loss back to back to the Canucks, but that's ok. Now tomorrow, it's round 2 between my team and Team Captain, who I lost to in the first week.
In my VCanucks2012 league, I played the worst team this week. I was expecting to completely destroy him, but just the little things which prevented a full domination. I still won by a score of 12-3. Since my goalies sucked this week, I fell unsuccessful on those categories. But that was it, everything else either went in my favor or a tie. Starting tomorrow, it's beginning of round 2. I will be playing an opponent who I tied the first week.

College Year 2: Day 31
After having a full day off yesterday due to the illness of our instructor, class resumed today. Too bad I didn't sleep that well last night. I think it was because of the heater I put on last night which may have been bothering me during my sleep.
So I woke up at 8:20am this morning because I decided to stale for a little while. As usual when my dad don't work on Wednesdays, rice for breakfast which sucks!
After eating, my dad gave my sister and I a ride to school at 9:15am. I arrived to school at around 9:36am. While I was at school, I spend some time at the library and then went to wait by my classroom door down the hallway.
In class today, we looked at arts and paintings that has the Byzantine style of the background painted gold and Jesus represented more like a man than a baby himself.
After class, I went with my mom to Fraser and had PHO for lunch and then we went to buy some chow mein for later meal.
After getting back home, I went to watch my drama and then slept for a little bit before heading back to school and hung out at the library.
By 6:00pm I waited in my History classroom for our instructor to come. Class started right on 6:30pm.
In class today, we lectured on the Chinese-Japanese conflicts, it's just stupid Japanese's empire ambition in Asia. Obviously their Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is just a bunch of bullshit. How can one seriously think taking over another country counts is the same as liberating countries in the same continent as you. The blowing up the railway to get a reason to invade Manchuria is pretty dam smart. Too bad the western powers were too much of a chicken to do anything about it.
I mean, look at Adolf Hitler, taking one violation step at a time and the West don't really do anything except protest on paper. Like what is going to happen by just whining on paper! Action speaks louder than words and the west could have easily smoked the Nazis if they actually bothered to take action!!
After class I went home to eat dinner and relaxed a bit, now it's time to sleep!

College Year 2: Day 30
As I thought it would turn out freezing outside, I thought wrong. It was cold still, but it was nothing compared to previous days where the air was just purely frozen! I guess when it rains in Vancouver, the temperature tends to rise up a little.
I woke up at 8:00am today, thinking to myself if I want to skip class or not, but as being a good student I decided to flow with it and go to school. I had a few buns and soup for breakfast. The good old tomato soup from cans.
I didn't leave the house until 9:30am where my mom gave me a ride to school since she has to work in Vancouver too! I spend ten minutes inside the library before sitting on a bench near my classroom door for class.
In class today, we looked at a lot of cathedral monuments, especially from Italy, where they were built in the 12th century. It seems as if we focused a lot more on windows style than anything else.
After class, I went home to watch my dramas and then went to do my history research paper. I did nothing else after! No class tomorrow for me, due to the illness of my instructor, so I get to sleep in :)

TVB Drama Review: Forensic Heroes 3
I've decided to write a review for every drama series which I have completed watching. I don't know why I do this, but I guess it's a good thing. I'm not interesting in writing book reviews so writing shows review should be more fun!!
Alright so Forensic Heroes 3 was the show I just finished watching today. To be honest, the first time I found out that there would be a new group of people, I was in disbelieve, because I felt as if the original first two series wasn't enough with the old cast. But I sucked it up and lived on it.
The first criticism I had on the show was that the cases were too short and quite obvious. But as the show went on, longer and more complicated cases began to show which I liked. Getting to know the characters more especially Pro Sir played a role in me having an appreciation for this series.
To be honest, Pro Sir stands out for Tim Sir in the previous two series, only because Pro Sir knows how to fight much more than Tim Sir and knows how to react much more faster and efficient in critical situation.
I had no problem with Kate Tsui, being the head of the police department. My favorite actress, Charmaine Sheh played the role of Madam Ma in Forensic Heroes 2 pretty well. Kate Tsui played was pretty good in this series with Ron Ng.
I have to say, my favorite case had to be the very last case. Of course it's the most complicated case but also the best to viewers. The last case involved the murdering different woman by two different murderers. It actually occurred 30 years ago, involving the murdering of a Senior Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Mandy Chung's parents which she tried to forget, but Pro Sir's wife Eva Chow decides to bring the case back, only because she went to prison and visited a criminal who told her that the murdering was actually another person. Which she eventually would be killed as well for being noisy.
The criminal was actually a father and his son, who had a very unpleasant experience with women back in the past. They both hated woman whose fingernails are painted white, because in the past, the first woman who abused the father and son had white fingernails painted.
I'm sure murdering in real life has a reason behind it as well. The ones in the show could very explain why murdering still happen sometimes. It's usually a person who has trauma over the past which affected who they are and their actions.
Anyways, I really hope they have a 4th series filmed sometime in the future. It's a really good show and just before the whole series ended, they showed a new case of several slaughter of clowns which I think foreshadows the 4th series. If they ended it just like that, I will be very disappointed.

Hockey Pool Year 4: Week 6 Results
Alright!! Today marked the one week mark of my return from Hong Kong to Vancouver. At the same time, yeah the Canucks won again, kind of like how they won last Sunday as well. However they better not fucking lose on Wednesday against the hated Avalanche. Honestly, the Canucks have not won a game on Wednesday which really sucks, because that's the only time this semester I have a night class. It sure sucks to go all the way home just to find out the Canucks can't win on that day!!!
Anyways, I have enough of ranting, time for hockey pool rant. In my NHL League, I played the dead last team this week. As a powerhouse team, of course I had no problem beating him but beating him by a score of 15-0 was totally not anticipated by me. With this win, I flew from 5th place to 2nd place just like that! But of course, this won't last therefore my team has to keep it up. Next week, I play the second last place team, which I should beat easily, improving my record.
Now on to my VCanucks2012 League, I played a powerhouse second seed team. For most part, we were pretty even in terms of trading categories. We took lead and then fall behind by very little. Eventually I managed to beat him 10-7 and took over second place for now. My team has been pretty good for me so far and if this keeps up we're in lots of luck! Starting tomorrow, I will be playing the worse team in the league. I won't underestimate him but this should be an easy win!!

College Year 2: Day 29
So it's the final day of class for this week, while it felt like totally winter today, I didn't have a stomach ache while I went to school. Somehow I was able to arrive to campus early, 9:50am.
Instead of waiting in my classroom for my seminar group meeting today, I hung out at the library for a little while before my seminar meeting at 10:30am.
While during the meeting, we had a discussion with Zeus and Christ. For the other part, we looked at different pictures of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. One of the pictures including a bright orange background with a figure on the cross. Yeah, many people find it offensive, but too bad we didn't really talk much to why it was offensive.
As a Christian, I was particularly interested with Christ. In the past, I heard lots of different amazing bible story, now studying monuments and sculptors dedicated to the Lord is a much different learning experience.
After class, I went home to eat and went to watch my two dramas before taking a nap for literally 2.5 hours before waking up for dinner.
After dinner I went to do my history paper for a little while before showering and now I'm just relaxing.

College Year 2: Day 28
I've finally got through the middle of the week since coming back from Hong Kong. Guess I had a good night sleep last night? I woke up right at 8:00am. I staled and staled until it was 8:30am then I had to speed up the process.
On the table, I found bread only. I guess that's the perfect meal when I don't want to eat so much, but bread is pretty filling at the same time, it's considered a light meal food.
So I left the house at 9:10am. My stomach which has been pretty bad lately, didn't cause any pains until I was at school. Kind of ironic that it hurts when I'm in a very warm and cozy building.
Oh well, in class today we continued to look at Sculptors in relation to Christ and then later we watched a film which I didn't really pay attention to much, only because I was sleepy and didn't bother.
After class, I went home in the cold and rain, went to watch drama and then ate something before taking a nap.
I woke up at 4:30pm, check some NHL scores before heading to school.
While in class today, we had a lecture on the Rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. In my opinion, Hitler is somewhat overrated, don't get me wrong on the Germans side he's a saint but not elsewhere. And what's up with him blaming the Jews, just because he got rejected to Art school in Vienna.
Everything went well for the day except for the Canucks game. Losing this year is bad enough, well losing to the hated Blackhawks with all the bandwagon asshole fans. 5-1 loss is garbage, reminds me of game 6 in 2010 where the assholes left Vancouver to San Jose with that win.
After class, I went home to eat dinner, blog and now sleep!! Bye now!!

College Year 2: Day 27
Time continue to keep its feet in the gas pedal without taking a break as a Tuesday just unfolded. I was able to wake up a little earlier today, but still woke up a bit late than my usual waking time.
Well, I was surprised my mom didn't cook breakfast yet, but whatever. She cooked spaghetti at around 8:40am, but I was able to finish a bowl by 9:05am. I sat for a little while before heading out.
Yeah, it was really cold today while stomach went from bad to worse. Stomach like no others. I really don't know why this is happening, it started since I was on the plane back from Hong Kong. It seems like every five minutes, I'd be having stomach problems.
I was fine as soon as class started though. I arrived right at 10:00am which had been my latest time.
In class today, we looked at the Arts from the Gothic Period, which included the Ambulatory, Chartres Cathedral, Laon Cathedral, Amiens Cathedrals, Visitation, Reims Cathedral, Sainte-Chapelle. For some reason, my note pages has gone down to one page. Normally I average two pages of notes per class. Perhaps I wasn't fully paying attention due to jet lag problems.
After class I went home to finish doing the dishes and then proceed to watch dramas. Forensic Heroes 3 will definitely end next week, I'm not sure if they will show the last 2 episode this Friday, because there are 30 episodes and episode 28 will be served. My guess will be a no because it's not as if they are showing episode 29 which will also include episode 30 as well.
After my drama I continued to work on my last history research paper until 3:30pm which I had to take a nap for two hours long. It was more like I slept in which I shouldn't be!!! Damn you jet lag!
I woke up to follow some NHL scores before having dinner. I had dinner at 7:00pm. I ate quite a bit, like fish and lettuce. While I finished the dish I locked myself in my room as usual and continued on doing what I was doing. Time to sleep now!!

College Year 2: Day 26
My first day back in class today, after a ten day trip to Hong Kong in November 3rd. Yes, due to jet lag problems, I had to wake up a little later because I was really tired. I didn't really wake up until 8:45am.
Therefore, I had 45 minutes to get ready, because my mom would be leaving at 9:30am. I didn't really eat much, but had two sticky rice that my dad brought home last night.
By 9:30am, we left the house and I arrived to campus at 9:55am. As usual, I sat outside of my classroom waiting until the instructor came.
First thing we got back was our essay. I honestly didn't expect to do that well, but somehow I managed to get a B/B+ on it. 26/35. Today, we continued to look at Artwork from Romanesque period such as the Saint-Sernin, Durham Cathedral, Head Reliquary of St. Alexander and Battle of Hastings.
After class, I went home through the heavenly cold despite having a bad stomach. I went home to do the laundry and watched drama. After that, I began to work on my last history research paper for the day!!
Now it's time to sleep!!

Hockey Pool Year 4: Week 5 Results
Well well well, I just came back from Hong Kong today, just as this week's hockey pool match. I must say, I was only gone for ten days, but why do I miss Hong Kong quite a bit already? Its kind of ironic, I didn't get the same feeling when I left Vancouver for my hometown, but anyways life moves on. It sure was fun, but the weather just kind of puts the fun out.
Anyways, in my NHL league, I played a friend who believes Crosby will be savior which maybe true. Though in a very tough matchup, I prevailed by a score of 7-6, which was because of another Saturday night meltdown. I really hate Saturdays now!! But yes, I still won, which it doesn't matter much anymore. As long as I keep winning, I'll eventually make my way up to the top!!
In my VCanucks2012 Legaue, I played an easier opponent this week. I had a great start but finished average, which still helped me preserve a 12-5 win. Saturday was where I sucked! As always, but I didn't suck enough for an epic collapse. I still remain in 3rd place, because the two other teams also won their matchups by a landslide. But it's ok, I'll slowly make my way up!
Starting tomorrow, I will be playing Team Whackburgers and Team Top Ten ( TTT ). Haha, time to continue college, but the trip to Hong Kong will be fresh in my memory!!

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 10
Ok, last day for me today therefore I'm going to be flying back to Vancouver today!! As well, I'll be keeping this post short!
I woke up at 8:00am today, only because I couldn't sleep anymore. Since I was feeling a whole lot of discomfort, I went to shower first and then went on laptop to follow Hockey Night in Canada. Yeah, another Saturday meltdown for me and my hockey pool anyways, but this never gets old. I've only got one good Saturday and that was last week when my cousin had her wedding.
Later, since none of us really ate anything, we went to Dim Sum and I ate the living crap out of a lot of things. Perhaps I ate the most things there.
While that is done, I went to look for my Iphone 4s case and bought one as well as an outdoor charger, though this was a farewell gift from my cousin so, thanks Jimmy and Steven for it, very well appreciated it!!
We went home after and now we're getting ready to go out for dinner and then head to the airport!! See you all back in Vancouver!!
I woke up at 8:00am today, only because I couldn't sleep anymore. Since I was feeling a whole lot of discomfort, I went to shower first and then went on laptop to follow Hockey Night in Canada. Yeah, another Saturday meltdown for me and my hockey pool anyways, but this never gets old. I've only got one good Saturday and that was last week when my cousin had her wedding.
Later, since none of us really ate anything, we went to Dim Sum and I ate the living crap out of a lot of things. Perhaps I ate the most things there.

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 9
Okay my second last day left here in Hong Kong just unfolded today. This morning I woke up at like 6:00am because me and my mom have to go to China to visit my grandma. We went to eat first before meeting up with my uncle there.
We took the train to the terminus station of China, however I couldn't get pass because they said I needed more identification which I didn't have. So he went alone, my mom and I went home.
I first took a shower and then went to watch the Pittsburgh Penguins game. It was entertaining, only because I got to see the Penguins score 3 unanswered goals against the Stars! Later, the Canucks game started, but everything was complete shit until the 3rd period in which Vancouver was down 4-0 but almost tied the game, which they scored 3 goals and dominated pretty much the entire 3rd period.
So when the game ended, I got dressed as we went out first to drop off my aunt and then we went to pray for my dead grandma. So when all that is done, my cousin dropped me and my mom off to my second aunt's apartment below. But I was hungry, so we went to have noodles at a nearby cafe before heading to her place.
We sat for a little while before heading out to the Thailand restaurant. I ate all sorts of weird stuff, but they were good. Really, besides the Ginger bread and fish, I have no idea on the names of the other food but I tell you that they sure taste good!!
So me and my mom went home after and now it's time to shower, watch drama and sleep!!

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 8
Time is moving by really quickly as I will be heading back to Vancouver pretty soon. Today I didn't really go anywhere, since I've already bought all the stuff I needed to buy. Therefore I stayed home for most of the day, to watch hockey.
I woke up at 8:30am to catch the NHL games. No I didn't watch the other games, but just followed the scores. I had instant noodles for breakfast since there wasn't really much to eat.
I did happened to watch the Canucks game. Great first period, but the Kings managed to pull within one and lost by one at the end of the game. Anyways, later in the afternoon, I played Mahjong with my mom, cousin and aunt. I had a good start but finished poorly, losing $150.
While my cousin went to take a nap, we played three player. This time I won the most, including 2 big wins. At the end, I won $50. Though we were in a rush after, so we cleaned up, got dressed and went out for dinner.
I had to take a mini bus and then the subway and then transfer again to another subway station and walked to the restaurant from there.
Inside, we ordered crabs and other seafood stuff. I didn't eat the crabs because I didn't like the smell of it. But then I was also tired as well and just ate everything else.
Later I slept in the car, and when we arrived home, I slept right away without doing anything else!

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 7
Lucky 7th day is here! Haha, yes it is!! Well, not really haha! I woke up at 8:30am today, because I had to go out with my mom to get my China passport which permits me to go from Hong Kong to China.
I first had breakfast inside a Cafe with my aunt and then later we went home first before coming back out to meet up with my aunt from my dad's side. We went to get the passport and then went to dim sum.
Since I had breakfast earlier, I didn't really much, only ate a few things and then left. We went back home first, and started planning to where to go to fish for the remainder of the ordered products.
We went out again in 2 hours, though I was able to get most but all ordered items, only because they don't have all of them.
When we got home again, we had hot pot and watched TV for most part!! Right now it's time to sleep!!

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 6
Another day just flew by, another boring/rainy day at home. I woke up at 8:00am to follow some hockey as usual. All was done after the last game which ended at 1:30pm, 9:30pm Pacific Time.
I went out with my cousin to have Brunch, at a cafe. Later, we went to the mall while I began my quest to start purchasing all the products that were ordered by a couple of friends back in Vancouver.
I wasn't able to buy the sweater, due to size but I was able to purchase the hat which was something else he ordered.
Later I went home and hung out for a little while first before heading back to another mall to have Japanese food with my uncle. I didn't really eat much, I had a curry chicken rice and ate some raw sashimi with some Nigiri salmon sushi. I also bought some products there as well which was another order from another friend.
We went home after, I was relaxing and watching TV with my cousin, fun fun fun!!

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 5
Can't believe I'm like half way through my trip already!! Today was just another normal day. Since my mom and my other relatives gone to China, I couldn't go so I had to stay at my aunt's house.
Yeah, I woke up just to catch some NHL games. Eventually watched the San Jose Sharks vs The L.A Kings! Pretty entertaining game!! I didn't really do much for the rest of the day, more like doing my last research essay for my History class!!
By 6:00pm, my cousin and I left the house for dinner, inside a mall where we would be meeting my uncle there. I ordered grilled steak with a BBQ Sauce and rice, it was completely delicious!!
Later we went home as I took a shower first before fooling around until 9:30pm to watch Forensic Hero 3. Too bad this episode involves too much relationship talks, but of course I've learned something out of it. That's even if people breaks up, or couldn't become a couple, being friends is better than being enemies, which I agree on!!
Time to sleep now and hopefully to start buying souvenirs for friends tomorrow, as well catch some NHL games when I wake up!!

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 4
Another day just flew by! Yeah, I woke up at 7:00am today, to catch the Vancouver Canucks, but apparently Hong Kong is now 16 hours ahead, so I had a little time to kill before the game, so I went to watch the Patriots. Yeah, it was a very heartbreaking loss against the really hated New York Giants.
The game didn't end until 8 minutes into the Canucks game, where it was 1-1. I started watching by then and didn't really get to finish the game. Yeah, the Canucks were up 4-2, when the second period almost came to an end, but I had to go out.
We went to eat at a cafe and then took a taxi to the nearest HSBC bank to finish my banking issues. Later we went home as my sister was about to go back to Vancouver. Though I didn't go to the airport, because I wasn't needed. I stayed at home with my cousin and later we went out to pick up my mom and my aunt at the market.
We later bought BBQ stuff, since we would be having a BBQ today. We got home at around 4:15pm and we began to play Mahjong. Due to the fact that we have to self-make, I grew highly unsuccessful. Losing lots of money but whatever, it's all good for fun.
Later I went to make up my blog post for yesterday and today as well proceed to start BBQing!
Tomorrow, my mom and my aunties will be out of town, just me and my cousins alone!!

Hockey Pool Year 4: Week 4 Results
Another week just finished today! Everything is going well so far for me. But its time for some hockey pool recap.
In my NHL League, I played one of my closest friend whose new and enthusiastic about the pool!! After coming a week with my goalie being outstanding, my goalies were terrible this week. At least pulled twice this week which killed my GAA and SV%. Even though that occurred, my players were good enough to preserve a win for me, 7-6 was the final score!! Starting tomorrow, I'll be playing Team Justin, it will be fun.
In my VCanucks2012 League, I played an opponent with a decent team, but I expected to blow him out easily. Too bad it didn't happen with the bad goalie performance I had. I eventually fell into a hole in the middle of the week, but it only took 2 days for me to make an impossible comeback, down 11-2 on Saturday to winning 9-6 after Sunday. Tomorrow, I'll be playing another opponent which I'm expected to win against.

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 3
What a day it was today! My oldest cousin got married today!! I didn't sleep much last night at all, because I was at a bar and didn't get home until 3:00am. I slept at like 4:00am and woke up at 6:30am.
We were all preparing for the wedding stuff, I really don't know what to call it, it was lots of fun especially playing games. We finished at 11:00am and then later we went to Dim Sum first.
After we went home and got dressed, we waited for the bus to pick us up for about 35 minutes. The whole trip was about 40 minutes long, we arrived at an extremely luxurious hotel. I toured around and drank wines as well take pictures with people.
By 8:05pm we were inside the dining room. It was extremely gorgeous inside, like a palace. My table was really close to the honoured table which was something I should really be proud of. We first looked at baby pictures of the two, in a huge projector and then watched them sign a contract of husbands and wife.
We heard an emotional speech from both sides, I really didn't know the guy had diabetes before, but thanks to my older cousin he was able to fight it off, which he didn't really give up on. Yes he was crying a bit but I don't blame him! Many other people did, I almost couldn't help it, but kept my tears away.
The food was alright, but I couldn't continue to eat since I had so much. By 11:05pm everything was done but we didn't get home until close to 1:00am before I showered and sleep.

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 2
Alright, so another tough day just went by!! I hate all these tough days it's really getting on my nerves. Though I woke up right at 7:00am today just to start following some NHL scores for my hockey pool as well watch the Canucks. However the internet stopped working and staled to the point where it was no longer possible to get it fixed before the game ends.
Therefore, since my mom, aunt and sister went out to eat, my cousin and I decided to join them, so he drove us to a Dim Sum stand, outdoors and we had Dim Sum there. Later, we went to buy stuff and then went home later.
Yes Vancouver lost again, which put me to the final solution of watching even more games whenever I can!! This team needs me, like nowhere else!!!
Anyways, I was just chilling on my computer while my cousins played Wii on the second floor. By 5:45pm, we left the house to have dinner! We instead went to hot pot. It sucks that my condition of eating a lot has become worse, for some unknown reason. Maybe just bad digestion of food from previous meals???
Anyways we went home later, and tomorrow is actually the wedding day, so I will be sleeping early tonight.

Hong Kong 2012 Trip Day 1
Haha, since I left Vancouver for Hong Kong, it had been a rough journey. First off, on the night I went to the airport, my dad gave me a ride, and took me all the way until the session where they start scanning objects.
Everything went accordingly and successfully. I sat at gate 58, where I would enter the plane from. I spend time texting, chatting on facebook and skype as well as MSN and watched youtube.
By 3:00am, I was inside Cathy Pacific, it was packed with people. The plane took flight 15 minutes later. Since I'm not seated on the windows seat, I couldn't really tell!! During my flight, all I did was play games and sleep for the entire trip!!!
When I arrived to Hong Kong, first thing we did was get my passport, under the heat!! Absolutely hot today!! Though we finished by 11:30am. When I came home, I was pissed to find out, that the Canucks lost 5-1 to the Minnesota Wild!! I came here to hear them win, not lose!! Anyways, later my cousin and I met up with our uncle to our aunt's apartment and brought the bed inside her home. It was rather dirty and big for her room so we just left it there and went home.
Later we were playing Mahjong all the way until 9:30pm before we stopped!! Long day ahead tomorrow, but I will watch the Canucks game, first thing in the morning!!!
