Now that I actually have time to write a full post....

It was my birthday on the 18th! I'm 20! I'm old! Yayyyyyy....

I had quite an eventful weekend.
Saturday, my actual birthday, started off with my first day teaching tap, ballet, and jazz at my dance studio. I was very nervous at first because it was my first time teaching ballet, but everything worked out in the end. Too lazy to go in more detail about it.

Later in the evening, my family came over and we had our usual "eating time", "cake time", and "present time". No pictures because the only one that took pictures was my brother with his SRL camera.... and anything that he takes on his SRL camera does not show up online until months and months later.

Sunday felt more like my birthday for some reason. I guess it took 24 hours more for it to really sink it. I obviously don't feel any different, but it's weird knowing that my age now starts with a 2! o___o

To celebrate with my friends, we had all you can eat sushi at Umi. Yummm... I very much appreciated everyone coming early and arriving there before I did myself! That was really unexpected, but made me very pleased! Ahaha. No, I was not late for my own celebration.

I was only able to take a limited amount of pictures because I was stupid and forgot to upload all my Europe pictures so the memory card was pretty much full... and I was also stupid enough to remember last minute that I had to charge my camera and only had it plugged in for about 15 mins. So there really wasn't much battery life for me to go and delete all the unnecessary pictures to make more space. Sad face.

Hmmm.... Well, we ate... a lot. We thought we ordered too much food (like always), but we succeeded in finishing everything because we're tanks! >=] ... or whales. lolololol.

I decided to just open some of the gifts I received then because some people had to leave after lunch. So this will sorta be my "birthday haul, friends edition" post within a post.

Firstly, Johnruss paid for my lunch! Thank youuuu!

Sick picture frame. My fav is the lil "LOL" at the bottom.
And my dream journal!! I can't wait to start writing in it!

Katherine thinks I smell bad... as you can see.
But now she won't be able to resist me. Muahahahahah

No waaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!! Thanks Bryan!! The white one is so awesome :D
(Yeah, I never told him I've been wanting this for like a year)

Yeah, I surprisingly got things from my wish list that I never expected to receive!

Fail attempt to take a group picture. Squinty eyes! XD

We all spontaneously went to Playdium afterwards because Johnruss had work anyway. Thanks to him and Bart most of us were able to get free time cards! :D

Thanks Johnruss!!!

I THINK he passed the height requiremets

Playdium moments...

Killed at Tank Tank Tank with Andrew and Bryan
Failed at the racing game with everyone. Kris won T_T
Went on the Roller Coaster thing for the second time. (First time being when I was 12? 13?) ...and then lost one of my earrings in it. Sad face.
Reunited with DDR once again. Didn't fail so miserably. But did break the bottom of my boots =( At least it's fixable.
Saw the "bar" at Playdium that I never knew existed before.
Watched Quan fail miserably at Deal or No Deal, but still earned enough points to get a small plastic ring for his girlfriend. Ahah.

asians and their pictures

asians and their DDR

asians and their ...shooting stuff

I had tons and tons of fun! However, I was not looking forward to having school the next morning T_T

One thing I told myself by the end of the day and I'll never forget.

You are loved.

"Let's go shoot something!"

Playdium last Wednesday with Rheena! :D

It started off with an "i wanna go to playdium... wanna goo???" last week. Hahaha! And conveniently, Johnruss worked at Playdium and did offer me free time cards for playdium months ago that he gets every once in a while to give away to his friends. So, I thought why not?

Thank you Johnruss! You are so awesome!!!! XD

I hadn't been to Playdium in years! I cannot even remember the occasion when I was last there. The only games I do remember playing was the large racing game in the far end of the room.... and that's about it. I had been on the motion stimulator with Chantal back then in grade 7 or 8 I believe? And they just brought it back after I'm not sure how many years they had it off. Because it was new and our time cards were free, we weren't allowed to ride it or play any games that gave tickets, which was completely fine.

The first game we played was the huge ass racing game (don't know the real name obviously) that I remember always being last or close to last in the past. But to my surprise, I actually won first!!! XD As soon as I won, all these guys looked at me and had this look that pretty much said "Oh shit. I just got beaten by a girl."

I also played Dance Dance Revolution, which I actually haven't played since high school because someone ~~stole~~ borrowed my DDR mat. I played by myself because Rheena was too chicken to do beginner mode even though there were already two other asians on the other machine already making a fool of themselves doing beginner. LOLOLOLOL jksssss =] But yeah, as said by Johnruss, I totally sucked. I failed at my first attempt at my fav DDR song on Super Nova, True Love, which I had gotten perfect on in high school in Difficult mode.

The last game that is worth mentioning (mostly because I has awesome pictures >=]) is the Tank Tank Tank! It's actually SOOOOO much fun! It combined driving AND shooting, which were the types of games we mostly played throughout the two hours. We wouldn't have really seen it or played it if Johnruss hadn't mentioned it to us. The best part was that it takes your photo that ends up being your icon for that game!

Wasn't able to get a nicer pic of Rheena's picture because the screen would change quickly!

It's like Pmall photos.... minus Pmall... plus BLOWING EACH OTHER UP! So awesome.
The only reason we left is because there were two asians waiting behind us that we just noticed after our third game? They looked pretty impatient o_o Ahhh...

And since it was still pretty early after our two hours of racing and shooting things, we decided to loaft around Square One for another hour and a half. Taking more Mac pictures was a given. We took a lot of pictures with the "glowing" effect because it nicely hides all the obvious craters in our faces. Very obvious.

We probably would've taken more pictures if one of the older sales associated hadn't kicked like EVERYONE off the Macs who seemed to be just taking pictures or on the internet because apparently the store was "getting too full"... which it wasn't. I've seen it more packed, especially in the Eaton Center. Maybe she was just jealous just because she has no friends to take Mac pictures with and just bashes on everyone that does? lololololol. Jokes.

Good times.

Good luck Christian!

I spent last weekend with my cousin Christian. It's really hard to believe, but he moved to LA! It was pretty sudden and I had only heard of it a week before. He moved to form a vocal group down there, so hopefully they'll make it big one day!

Saturday night was his "surprise" party thrown by Lylline at Dave and Busters, which ended up not being a surprise because he accidentally ran into one of his friends in the washroom while the rest of us were waiting in the dinning area. Oh well. Ahah.
It was my first time ever going to Dave and Busters and just knew it as the "Chucky Cheese for kids" which it really is actually. Ahah

The food was quite pricey, but it did it's job and filled me up for the rest of the night. One of the cheaper dishes besides salads (which don't fill me up) that I chose was the Goldenfingers (aka. chicken fingers and fries). The total came up to almost $18 and I only got water as a drink! Why? Because of HST ... AND the extra 16% added because we were a group over 8 people. Laaaaame. Sorry, no tip for you =]

Entering the game room was pretty overwhelming! There was soooo much to do and I hadn't been to any sort of arcade for a couple of years!

Based on my experience, the "must go to" games would have to be...

Skee Ball

Always been a favourite since my Chucky Cheese years =]

and

Jump Rope Jackpot

Definitely, the most played game for me and Jewel that night! We both were able to make it to the "T" when it was spelling JACKPOT... but we never were able to get the Jackpot though =(

I would've played DDR there IF they actually had it. They had this other thing almost like DDR but the arrows were diagonal. It was weird. I did not want to try it.

In the end, I did earn up enough points to get a decent prize =] I thought that maybe the best think I would've gotten was like.... candy... or a key chain. But no, I was able to get a VERY soft Curious George pillow case... that was a pillow case for a body pillow. So it is pretty big and works well as a blanket. I don't own a body pillow =(

The next day was his good bye party with the family. Basically, A LOT of people packed into one tiny room eating, talking, and watching TV. It was actually very hot on the main floor so all the cousins moved into the basement for a little while to witness Christian cutting my brother's hair.

I'm used to hearing friends and family going out to other countries for very long vacations that are weeks or months long. It's always okay, because you know they will come back home eventually with stories to tell and everything will be just as it was. But it's a very different feeling knowing that they won't come back home for a very long time. And if they do, it's too short.

Never take any of the time with your family or friends for granted. Cherish every moment!

I'm gonna miss you a lot cuz! Good luck!

Johnruss's Birthday

Saturday, August 7, 2010

Johnruss's Birthday last Friday.
(You know how I do not like posting about events without pictures if there were plenty taken!)
Not much to say besides it was awesome :D

We ate at Hoodoo McFiggins (random name) and shared a very large platter of chicken wings, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, etc. The fries were not so great, so no one ate them as you can see. veryone pretty much devoured everything else in two seconds. Ahah.

Our end of the table.

I stole Johnruss's beers... and his phone case very successfully. He couldn't figure out it was me and kept suspected everyone else around me, even though I was the only one laughing hysterically.

Oh yeah, look at me. I'm so bad ass.

Afterwards, we went clubbing at Rehab. Very good music. Very crowded. But a lot of guys x_X. It's a good thing I had Johnruss there to protect me! He's still a giant even when I'm wearing heels.

He was too funny that night.

Fav pic of the night

iced green tea lattes

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Me and Rheena + Starbucks Lattes + Laptops = Friends who wanna chill but are too broke to afford anything else :D yayyyy
Oh yeah, and her little sister was there too. She's so adorable =]

We met after Rheena bought Angelika this little Tinkerbell book with puzzles and such from the Disney store. Angelika says to me, "My sister bought this for me so I don't get bored while you guys talk." lololololololol!
We killed about over 3 hours (which went by pretty fast) talking, drinking our green tea lattes, taking Photobooth pictures on her mac, watching random videos, etc. We also watched my dance videos from one of my competitions in May because Rheena was unable to come to my year end show this year and was still interested in seeing my dances on video yayyy :D I absolutely hate watching my solos though because I'm hardly ever satisfied with the overall look of my performance. Yes, I'm quite hard on myself. At the same time I was editing a video that I needed to upload that night! Ahah. That's the only reason why I brought my slowly falling apart laptop. But in the end, it was a good thing I brought it because for some reason two of the dvds didn't read on Rheena's Mac... but it read on my crappy Toshiba. Whaaat?

We're glowing *o* and also our ONLY normal picture.

Hot.

Animated!
(It was so hard for us to make it look like we actually had eyes with the terrible lighting LOL)

We blew up.. lolololololol

And my absolute favourites...

The "I think I'm so awesome, but I'm really not" expression :D

The fake pout.

shots! shots! shots!

Reunited with a lot of high school friends last friday for Patricia's 20th at Lot 332! =] I'm so happy I was able to make it. The majority of the people there I hadn't seen since high school or my 18th!

I think I might have been a little tipsy for the first time despite all my profile pics with me holding drinks. Ahah. I don't even think I drank that much. I drank every time everyone decided to take a shot together... Kay, maybe that was a few times... I swear I drank at Christian's waaaay more though because Lylline kept making me drink!

They played good music, so that was a huge bonus for me XD. Well, except for the random Miley Cyrus song they played, which made everyone go wtf, mate. The dance floor was probably the most crowded that I've ever danced on. It wasn't that big to begin with actually. I'm so happy I had Aaron as my body guard from creepers who came up behind me x_X. I'm not saying any names but there was one particular person who kept following me on the dance floor, who was part of Patricia's group, but I literally just met that night. All I had to do was give Aaron the look and he would start dancing and shoving the guy away at the same time going "WOOOO!!!" LOL XD
Patricia was soooooo drunk! Ahah. She was like "Chantelle!!! Thanks so much for coming to my partyyyy!!" ... She said that to me like five times! Ahah. And surprisingly, she remembered doing that and the amount of times she did it.

I misplaced my camera charger so all the pics are from Trish's cam (which Tim stole at one point and went picture crazy)
