Very expensive accesory you knowwww.. Then I sent my bicycle to City Centre... hoping to get it tuned up, but the tech didn't finish it on time. Went to watch Sam get her haircut... then went for bubble tea... then went to do some glasses shopping... then went Cycling... from her house to my house. HAHAHAHHA.

Worked in the lab, it was crazy busy.. so I was sooo focused on working that it was almost time to go home by the time I was tired. well I was tired all day. I got a bloody nose at work because the lab was too heated. Too hot for a nose like mine. Went home, met up with Britt, saw her new room. lots of gerbs. crazzzzy. went on a car ride all the way to south edmonton common thinking that wal-mart was 24/7 but apparently it wasnt. Got lost.. had no idea where we were going. I had a nuggets meal from McD that night.. around midnight. It was awesome. Drove around the city then went home to sleeeep. Got a manicure done and I painted my nails pink. It's ad-or-a-ble.

New New Bicycle.

So I was mentioning that I had exchanged my bicycle. I got a baby pink helmet too BTW, and I got a gel seat for this bike.. so my ass doesn't hurt as much. HAHAHA. I love it so far, rode it all the way to U of A, to work, and went for a 2 hours bike ride with Leanne. That was pretty insane. =)

My bike from 2 different angles.. Don't you think the baby blue is pretty???

I finished my summer term already. DAMN. 800 dollar course just like that. I only used my textbook 3 times, less than an hour each time, and it costed me 90 dollars. *sobs* I'm gonna sell it. Someone better buy it. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~
ps: I rocked my finals. I'm preeeeeetty sure I did super good. HAHAHA, better get a friggin A++++ this time rather than that big F the last time. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyways, gonna try to work hard core for the remaining two weeks, make some decent money hopefully so I can continue to pay off my credit card and tuition. AH life of a student. How pathetic.

My Lab Days <3

This week was super exciting for me, as I got to start working in the lab. I'm still doing the retail part, the eyewear consulting.. but I am also a Lab Technician now. WEEEHEHE!!! I'm sooooo pro~

Day 1 in the Lab:
Haley taught me how to set lenses at the right inset, up/down... how to differentiate lens, how to plot its axis, how to protect the lens, and how to WAX it. yupp. you wax lenses. AWESOMEEEE! Then I learnt how to clean the polisher. oooo so much to learn. I already knew how to clean chucks and laps, so I did that. =) It's so different being in the lab.

Day 2 in the Lab:
Learnt some very very interesting things about progressives, how we induce prism in them. How thats done to make it cosmetically more attractive. I also learnt on how base curves run. AWESOME. (Ed taught me that)

Day 3 in the Lab:
LOVE IT. I surfaced two sets of progressives today. Had some help with the generator (Haley) and that was it!! I ROCK!!!! LOL
( I got a raise! hehehehe~)

Donna

It was Canada's Day yesterday.. and for the first time in three celebrations I didn't have to work at all. I slept in... went to West Edmonton Mall with Brittany hoping to see her cousin in action in ice hockey.
(kids playing hockey)

Unfortunately we missed it, but we did do some shopping at Urban Planet (there was a buy one get one for a dollar sale!!!) went for lunch at the foodcourt and we took a photobooth picture at fantasyland.
(britt and I at fantasyland)
(Britt and I. our little sketch portrait)
Then we went to the legislature for the rest of the afternoon. Hung out with her friends (funny people) Ryan, Brian, Jessi, Glen, Calvin... and Doris and Kevin came too =)
(weird how my little room could fit so many people)
(one of the funny pictures we took)

They played frisbee... I sucked so I just sat there and enjoyed the sun. Then we saw the most amazing fireworks. THEY WERE HUGEEEEEE.
(kevin)

Happy Canada's Day.

my girlie day

today was kinda random.. because we didn't really plan this, i met Amanda at work and I told her that we needed to hang out so she told me to go shopping with her so she could get all her Australia prep done. Leanne texted me for movie and dinner so we combined it together and BAM! girls day out =)

Got a whole bunch of stuff for Amanda, her purse, luggage, bikinis, board shorts and poor Leanne was waiting for us at WEM while we were still at Kingsway. She bought lots tooo. LOL.

Gave them their little gifts that I got from Malaysia..
anyways I'm gonna post up pictures that we took. Super hilarious. Tried facebook but UNFORTUNATELY it wouldn't upload.

spot the difference? amanda can drive without her car keys. HAHAHAHHAHA

amanda with her new luggage to Australia. LOL. her High School Musical bag. LOL

We had dinner at Elephant & Castle... before watching our movie. 'The Hangover' is awesome. Definately recommend that. LOL

Then we headed back to my apartment, and took some pretty re-tarded pictures. LOL. Awesome day I sum it.
(Posing in my hallway... kinda...weird. My neighbour saw us. LOL)








And of course. The TRIOS.



on the other note:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!!!!!


ps: Amanda lost her phone today, and we found it at Kingsway, at the Mall Security. (talk about random) Leanne bought Vietnamese springrolls and sweet potato fries from the Works (yum to both) Amanda is reading TWILIGHT!!! wooohooo!!!!

Updates from the HK Airport.

It's June 22... and it will remain June 22 for the longest time in my own history. HAHAHA, I'm at the HK Airport right now... 7.46am... will be boarding at 9.50am and my flight will leave to Edmonton at 12.50pm. and when I reach Edmonton, it will still be June 22... and that's 17 hours later, it'll only be 4.20pm. HOW am I gonna adjust to the super long daylight?? I think I'm gonna get a badddd jetlag.

Doris and I slept over at the airport's lounge-hotel thing last night.. we paid 980HKD for 6 hours of the room.. it was well worth it though. a little small but SUPER comfy =) the people who work here are super friendly too.

I will post more stories and pictures about my Asia trip when I'm back in Edmonton.. LOTS of food pictures!

I miss family. I miss friends. =(
