It's been so cold in Toronto lately, I'm beginning to pack my shorts and short sleeve tops back into my lugguage. The cold is terrifying! You look out of the window, looks bright and sunny, and you think happily to yourself, " Wah! It's not going to be cold today"- fixated in a stage of denial. So you step out in like 1 layer, or 2... It's kinda cold, but you think to yourself, " okay lah, I must psycho my brain into believing it's not that cold..".. So you huddle along on your way to class.. THEN THE WIND BLOWS... you freeze in your tracks, seriously curse yourself for not bringing an extra jacket... Then you walk a few more steps.. And run back to take a jacket. haha! That's what happened in the first few days.. Now, I realised, there's no such thing as wearing too much! Always have a spare jacket in your bag just in case.. Sometimes, the weather decides to spring surprises on us earthlings in Toronto, and we get an occasionally "warmer" day. Like last thursday... So the 3 of us decided to go venture into the school's pub "Underground" since it was Pub Night! There was a long queue, and entry involved a tight security check for drugs.. I was secretly happy the bouncer thought I was below 18 though. heh! :P It was quite an experience though. People here can really dance...  --------------------Another thing that has been making me all excited here is the Fall Sale!!!! So the 4 shopaholics united and embarked on a trip to Missasaga, far out in the edges of Toronto, just to check out Dixie Mall- a well known factory outlet store. It involved a bus ride to the subway station, subway to Union station, a GO Transit train to Missasaga then another bus to the mall!   We met Misako on the way, and she had nothing to do, so we asked her to come along with us :)  FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY we arrive.The journey can be pretty tiring.  Okay, I think I only took 2 photos of the mall..So... erm. you can kinda infer that I spent loads of time walking around and grabbing stuff! I even skipped lunch to continue my mission of buying cheap and nice stuff. haha!  :) :):) :) :) -----------------------Another random day out alone. Everyone had stuff to do, and I decided to head out to reward myself for studying hard this week. This pizza place was selling pizza slices for $1 each so I got one! and it was good! I was trying to wait for the train to clear to take this photo, so I ate really really slowly. But more people got on instead, so I just took this photo with everyone staring at me. I think no one really takes photo of themselves here!!! I headed to the harbourfront because I wanted to see the beautiful quay... It was kinda cloudy, but the view was stunning!   I tried to use the self-timer to take this photo, but I ran too slowly, so I decided to just turn around and pose anyway, so here's half my body. haha!  See the red leaves ! so pretty!  Then it started to drizzle and turn really cold, so I grabbed some ice capp. at Tim Hortons and mugged a bit (so I wouldn't feel so guilty for heading out when the rest are studying in school. haha) Then I walked and walked and walked... to find myself at the front door of Forever 21, so I got in to grab myself some new shoes to replace my badly tattered white ones that Marco got for me! I tried savaging the white ones using double sided tape... but they didn't work. So it's time for new ones! These black ones are really simple, nothing fancy, but they're just 10 dollars from Forever 21!! let's hope these ones would last longer :) ----------Random photo! SO PRETTY RIGHT!!!  -----------------------Another day of outlet shopping at Orfus road! It really sounded like "offers" road to me, given all the good deals. It would be so perfect if the day wasn't so cold. Everyone was piling on the jackets that they bought there! After dinner, we found this shop called "Dollarama" and everything is $1!!!! Unbelievably cheap!!! So we grabbed like Lays's potato chips and shampoo and stuff and trudged back with our heavy heavy bags.    :) Shopping here is really a different experience. Stuff here gets really cheap sometimes, and you just feel so overwhelmed and you really don't know where to begin. The stores are huge, people are everywhere, and you feel like grabbing everything because they were such unbelievably great deals.It's no wonder the group of us were SO EXHAUSTED at the end of the day..shopping is TIRING! I better prepare myself for more shopping at New York! This friday!!! can't wait :)
