streets, movies, shops.

was out most of today going arnd toronto. didn't really go to downtown or places like chinatown. tmr i will be going to chinatown for dim sum and then some grocery shopping i suppose.

went to make my photo ID for the bus pass. the pic didn't come out as nicely as i hoped. so now i am using some tickets for buses and subway at a cheaper price. and when the new mnth comes, i will get the metropass which i swipe across the machine to enter. like swiping a credit card.
the place wasn't open when we arrived there, so we went out the station near downtown. the wind was howling and blowing like h*ll! the first time i found it cold in toronto! my ears and nose turned red and my ears went numb as we walked on the streets to find somewhere to eat.
stopped at an asian restaurant. the food there is nice. one thing in canada is the portions are big! the food is cheap in terms of canadian dollars, but when converted to malaysian ringgit or singapore dollars, it's expensive.

headed back to the shopping mall opp the apartment and met our housemate, nora there. we went to catch a movie- lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events. the show is sooooo nice. there's violet, klaus and sunny, whom became orphans after their parents mysteriously died in a fire. then their inheritance is being eyed by this count and all the plot falls in where they move from one guardian to another after each one dies mysteriously. and their guardians are all related to their family in the same way. there's just so many secrets that have yet to be revealed in this show. i have read the storybook before, it's a series. so i'm sure there will be more of this to come. the storyline is so awesome and touching. the characters are funny and interesting, especially sunny!

after that, we walked arnd for some window shopping. there's a wide variety of winter clothing and it's cheap, once again in canadian dollars.. went home after that. did laundry and then dinner. oh well, leaving now. bye..
