2006 年 9 月 4 日 星期一 【晴】 2006 年 9 月 3 日 星期日 【晴】 2006 年 9 月 2 日 星期六 【晴】 2006 年 9 月 1 日 星期五 【晴】 woke up @ 8 ~ finally got more sleep !  The weather here is so dry ~ I need it !
no make up today, cox my skin can’t take that. It’s so damn dry in Canada even tho I’ve kept using moisturize lotion n drink a lot of water. Went out @ 10 to Tin Hortons for doughnut & coffee. I love ‘em ~ they are great ! but I kept reminding myself can’t eat too much nor too often, cox they’re all fatty food ! 
Went to Newham to take an assessment test. The English part is a lot difficult than I expect ! The test is divided into 2 section n 3 parts. 1 section, have to finish a 350-word written essay within 45 mins; section 2, computer based test. The first part is English, testing on structure n comprehension w/ no time limit. It was really difficult n I tried to read back n forth many times but still can’t guess the meaning not to mention figure out the answer. I am so frustrated. I’ve spent 1.5 hours on 40 questions ! then I took another test based on Maths. It was easy ^^ but sometimes confused by the English. For the numerical questions, each I only need 30 sec to finish ! Got the score right away for the computer section. For both English n maths, each total is 120. I’ve got 92 in Eng n 116 in Maths. SHXT ! How come ! I should get full marks in Maths. I guess I have misunderstood one question so that can’t get full mark. Waited outside for my dad, when he arrived it was already 3. so we had a tea instead of lunch in a mall near by. The so called tea set is so big in size ! just like a normal lunch !
加拿大對我來說，是我的家。這次「回流」加國，感覺很特別。這裡的人和事，好像變了很多，但仔細想想卻又印象深刻。我甚至可以說出一些極鎖碎的事和細節。人的記憶就是這麼奇妙，很多事情我們沒有「忘了」只是暫時找不到所儲存的位置。就憶在腦海中沒有消失．．．．無論是開心的，不開心的；重要的或是鎖碎的，我們一一也印在腦中。對大部份人而言，童年該是最開心，最無憂的日子。我在加拿大渡過我的童年，因此加拿大在我的印象中是很好的。現在回來，多多少少也感受著以往快樂的日子。 這裡的消費指數若兌換成港幣計算，很多東西比香港起碼貴一倍。我深知道爸爸花了不少積蓄在這次的「大遷徙」當中，他要掛心的除了錢銀上的問題外，還有很多，很多。即使他休息不夠，也要大清早起來送我和弟弟上學和辦手續；看見他勉強抖擻精神來架車的樣子，真是心痛極了。媽媽和弟弟因為太累的關係也在車上睡著了，為了使爸爸不至那麼悶，我縱使眼睏也睜大眼和他談談話。 在某一次的飯局當中，我和家人談到加拿大與香港的分別。我認為最大的分別是環保意識以及人權意識。在加拿大的法律下，致力要求事事公平；抽稅很重，目的是要讓貧窮懸殊的情況減輕。聽起來這個想法不錯吧？但我卻不認同。也許我已習慣了香港的生活，香港人的做事方法和心態；哪有人不為自己利益著想？公平？嘿！這個地球上根本沒有可以達到公平！那些傷殘的，單親的，身世可憐的只好怪自己倒霉吧！我也有怨過自己的命運，那又如何？有人會可憐我麼～幫助我嗎？別發夢吧！要納這麼多稅，這個社會根本毫無競爭可言。每個人都不會努力工作，因為「賺得多，交稅交得更多」。如果沒有競爭，社會又同何進步呢？太和平的社會壓根兒一點刺激也沒有。在這方面，我和家人的看法很不一致；我冷血的性格，應該不是遺傳自他們吧？！ >>September 2, 2006 at 9:29:52 AM GMT+8 2006 年 8 月 31 日 星期四 【晴】 Yesterday night slept earier cox today have to be parpared for the orientation day. Woke up @ 7 am today ~ It was so cold…only 12~13 degree in the morning. I guessed that I still needed some time to get used to the weather here. Dad picked me up @ 10 : 15 n drove me to school. I arrived there @ 10 : 25. The whole environment was brand new to me. I tried to look friendly n kept the smile on my face frequently. Most new students have their parents / bf w/ ‘em, I sat alone. The welcoming talk started @ 10 : 35 ~ I felt quite nice after meeting w/ the big guys cox them seemed to be so nice ^^ Then I moved to a classroom w/ a small group who all students of marketing. It was a bit borning but useful ! it’s a short introduction to what’s marketing is n options for graduate students. I didn’t talk to any body in my class >..< I was 2 shy la ! After that, I had lunch ~ 1 pizza & 1 spite. I met a student service chairlady, she looked half-chinese n she’s so pretty ^^ I tried talk to her n she’s willing to talk w/ me 2 ! Then, a “tragedy” happened. I went into a BOYS TOILET ! this was not totally my fault, becox the sign is in RED color, n I didn’t take notice of the shape of the sign. I saw the back of a boy …( nth else, dun think 2 much ) n then I realized that I’ve made a very big mistake. ‘OPS!’ I yelled out as a natural reaction, the second word I said was “ SORRY “ I turned round n walked away while saying “ I am really sorry “. I heard the boy said, “ that’s okay “ …..the whole thing was a terrible accident. I was queuing for quite a long time to have my “ONE CARD” done. The pic sucked !!! I looked so fat in da pic ! This pic will be staying along w/ me for 3 yrs !!!! Left the school @ 1 sth ~ went to Canadian Tire for some tools…..n Home dipo to choose the paint color for the deck. back home to take a rest.  People who been used to live in HK must be surprised w/ the huge supermarkets in Canada
 Too many color to choose...so dizzy
 Bought a pack of rubber band, mixed color. This one is PURPLE ^^
I faced a big challenge, me VS a spider ( the body n legs are bigger then a one dollar ) in da basement. My younger was even scared n my mum was doing the cleaning, my dad was sleeping. So, as a so-called big sister had to bare the responsibility n do the dirty work. 我鼓起最大勇氣，用拖鞋拍死左佢。最驚既唔係打死佢，而係收屍。 Finally have time to sit down n do some computer work. I input the photos taken these few days n continue typing my entry. I was typing the entry in a Microsoft Word n when the internet is fixed, I will post the entry right away ! Took a short nap n out for dinner. Everybody was so full n didn’t wanna have much. We went into a Japanese restaurant called 十八番。After we sat down, we discovered it was “ eat all you can “ >..< shit ! can’t make single order ! We had no choice cox we’ve already sat down ( @ that moment really wanna leave ) The food wasn’t satisfying, the only thing that I think was find is the ice-cream ^^ I think I’ll easily get fat in Canada cox I love sweeties so much ! also , the food is always served in a big portion ~ oh ! I am so afraid that my fds won’t regonize me when I am back. 
>>September 2, 2006 at 9:28:20 AM GMT+8 2006 年 8 月 30 日 星期三 【晴】 woke up @ 7 sth this morning, cox my mum was fixing the window n that little noise woke me up >.< becox of the dry weather, my skin got very worse tho I’ve used cream day n night ~ n also drink a lot of water ! I’ve got many scratches n cuts on my hands >.< Went to a govr center to apply for the SIN ( social insurance number ) n then to the bank again. It was a long long wait in the govr center >.< ai ~ ppl here in Canada work really slow !! Went to Toyota to choose new car ~ have a few models in mind but not yet decided. 
Lunch @ Z.O.D for Japanese food, the food was above average but of cox not full mark ~ but the size of the food was really big ! Mum said sth made me angry during lunch, I tried not to argue w/ her but then I wanna cry. Everytime when I felt委屈 n couldn’t let out my anger then I started to cry……I am always so childish n naïve. 
After lunch went to兆豐 ( a supermarket owned n run by Chinese ) to buy some oranges….n other fruits. All snacks here were so damn expensive if you compared it to HKD ~ eg 百力滋朱古力味 costs $ 4.5 in HK but approximately $ 14 HKD in Canada ! that’s a tribal ! Then I went to a mobile service provider again n ask them the way to check my air time ( how many mins I’ve used ) but they said there’s no way to check ! how come ! this was so so so ridiculous ! Drove to have a quick look of my new school in Markham as well as my bro school. I was a 路癡 in HK n now ~ even serious 路癡 !! Canada was a lot bigger than HK, but for the road system & urban design, I guessed Canada was better ! Hopfully I will pick up quickly ! Shopped @ Home Dipo & Domainies to buy water & some household stuff …..then had dinner @ a 潮州 food restaurant. We were all full n just ate a bit ~ Back home, unpack everything cox my mum asked my to do so ~ she’s a crazy clean-lover. She said I shouldn’t let my luggage put in the ground floor n also I shouldn’t bring ‘em up-starts so I must unload the stuff into my room n put the luggages in da basement. I was so tired but I managed to tidy all my stuff n slept @ 2am.  Finally got my night lifht ! This is so important as I am kinda afraid of dark >.<
>>September 2, 2006 at 9:29:04 AM GMT+8 2006 年 8 月 29 日 星期二 【晴】 Woke up @ 9 becox my bro was yelling n running on the upper stairs. They went out for breakfast @ my dad’s fd’s home, but I didn’t go along cox I looked so awful n dun wanna met ppl. They returned @ 11 sth n we went out together to manage bank a/c. I have my HSBC a/c ^^ one the way to the bank, I got Neon’s call ~ so happy !! but my emotions have been turned down as my mum said that she thought that I was not serious to everything & she was so disappointed. But I dun think I treated things carelessly~n I asked her to show my some examples how I behave not serious but she couldn’t name one ! 她總是無理取鬧。 
Then we had lunch @ 金莎茶餐廳 . Things in Canada are so expensive ! not to mention the tax ~ 14 % tax PLUS 10% service charge ! crazy >..< 
After lunch we went to Roger 恆星 to get cell phones a/c. The plan is so damn expensive law >.< $ 30 only 150 mins out-going calls ( MON ~ FRI 7am ~ 9 pm ) n 1000 mins out-going calls ( MON ~ FRI 9 pm ~ 7 am & weekends) but tax n tunnel fee are not yet counted ! but all Canada cell phones are excluded w/ UNLIMITED in-coming calls ~ so guys & gals , feel free to call me ^^ ( plz kindly note that Canada time is 12 hours delay compared to HK ) Dad drove me home cox I need to do some make up; they went to supermarket to grab some household goods. I finished make up n still have 15 mins left ~ so I left the house n took a short walk around my house. Also, I took a video showing the place I lived.

I am not trying to look cool but the sun is really bright tho it's evening already, so I wear sunglasses ^^ They picked me up @ 6 sth to 黃金閣 for dinner. My dad wanna express his appreciation to all his fds who have been helping out a lot thr out years we left Canada. The food was not good >.< may be I’ve eaten lotz of good stuff in HK n made me become very 咀刁！ We went to dad’s fd’s house after dinner. His basement has stored many stuffs that we left when we moved away ! wa ~ some of the stuffs are as old as me ! As we have no table, no lights, no dish, no …..actually, we have nth but 4 walls n 4 mattress, a few bottle of waters, a microwave but not sure whether it could work well, a fridge but very old one, not operating normally >.< a washing machine but w/o any water in or out……..sigh ! I saw a SPIDER !! Shit ! I hate insects ~ n this is one of the biggest concern for me to live in Canada. I tried my best to hold my breath n be TOUGH ! I used my slipper to slamed it n smashed it ! Brave gal ~^^ I was unpacking things but still not finished yet. Slept @ 4 sth. >>September 2, 2006 at 9:20:42 AM GMT+8 2006 年 8 月 28 日 星期一 【晴】 My journey began @ 6 this morning ~ Thanks so much for Ken helping me to get a van to the airport ~ $270 a ride. Be4 leaving Homantin, 匡婷 brought me a very delicious breakfast ~ she made it herself ^^ so Great ! I had breakfast on the way to the airport…^^ A good start ! 
Arrive @ the airport around 6 : 40 ~ Nana & Queenie were there already, Neon was there 2 ~ Thisi was da first time he met w/ my father ( mum & my younger bro have met him be4 ^^ ) We took some photos after finishing the check in process. Luckily my luggages are not over-weighted !!! 
I didn’t cry, this was not what I expected, as I was the cry-baby >..< Nightmare started >> it was HK time 8 : 30 ~ we took a 4-hour flight to Tokyo, bought some snacks ( 巨峰草餅 & 綠茶truffles ) @ the airport. I read all my fd’s letters on this flight. Then we waited for around 3 hours n got on the connect flight to Los Angels, it took me 10 hours ! After the terrible long flight, I landed n waited for another 2 hours then got on another plane to Mennisota, it was another 5 hours flight. After arrived Mennisota, we waited 1 hour again n got on the last flight to Toronto, it took me 2 hours…..so in total, ( 4 + 3 + 10 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 2 ) is 27 hours ! dun forget that I have to wait for my luggages n pick up the rented car @ Toronto airport. People in Canada work very very slow…..it seems that time is not valuable to ‘em at all >..< I was really really tired n dirty !! haven’t took bath over a day !!! I’ve become very impatient but still had to control my temper cox I know my dad & mum were both exhausted too ! so I had to take care of my younger brother as well as the luggages so that my parents can finish all the process.  
 I was having apple juice n tomato juice thr out the whole journey ~
  Pictures tooken @ Japan Airport
 Funny translation ^^
 Beautiful sunset / sunrise?!
  Finally, night comes
Finally we got on the car n one of my dad’s fd drive part of the luggages to our home ( cox one care could not carry 8 big luggages & 6 handcarry >.< )  our temporary car
I was excited for awhile n forgot how tired I was, but soon I felt so sick as my soul seemed to be leaving my body & 個人浮下浮下。This was a very unplesent feeling…..My home is capable w/ 4 toilets, but only 3 w/ bathtubs, one is in the master bedroom, the second one is on the 2nd floor, the last one is in da basement but this one is not fully finished of construction. I let my bro use the bathroom ( 2nd floor ) first ~ actually, I was so so so tired but I gotta be a good sister ^^ haha ~自己讚自己 
After bathing, I realized that no dryer can be found so I must let my hair dry naturally. While waiting, I called my fds in HK ~ thx for their letters & presents ! I was really appreciated ! Slept @ 4 sth cox of jet lag, also, Canada is so damn quite & I was not used to it….I kept the curtain open but still no a glimmer of light came thr da window. This was so terrible, I must get a night light ASAP ! >>April 16, 2007 at 1:01:44 PM GMT+8 2006 年 8 月 27 日 星期日 【晴】 2006 年 8 月 26 日 星期六 【晴】
