Shopping in Vancouver!

Went to do some shopping today with my little sister.. Wah she is so cute lah.. I was damn proud when all the cute cute ang moh guys stared at my little sister.. hee

Well, the Shopping Mall in Vancouver is so much alike of that in Singapore. hmm the one I went today is more alike to Marina Square... You can see almost all the brands you may find in Singapore... Even the structure of the buildings.. The most interesting thing was that when I tried to find a toilet, my aunt told me to turn right, but I felt I should turn left cos in Marina Square, it was the same set up and the toilet was on the left hand side.. But I thot I had never been to Vancouver before so I should listen to my aunt who lived there.. Ahha.. Guess what, there was no toilet on the right hand side, but there WAS one on the left hand side.. The decorations in the toilet, even the scent is the same!!! Can you imagine that?? The place where there was a GIANT in the Marina Square had a huge local supermarket there too.. and I found an HMV in the mall!!! I tried to be funny so I went in and showed them my HMV card in Singapore, I said I demand a change of card cos I just came to Canada, and I want to transfer all the stamps to the Canada HMV card.. They were like #$%^&*()(*&^%$%^&*, but they still gave me one and said "Welcome to Canada"..

Oh yes, I had my lunch there in a hocker center... I almost cried out when I saw it... It is slightly bigger than the usual ones in Singapore, but they have all kind of stalls... I have Hokian Mee and milk tea.. You cannot imagine how excited I was when I tasted the familiar Sutong.. haha

I am really falling in love with Vancouver, cos it brought back all the sweet memories in Singapore... If I can go back to Singapore soon, wahhaha... I will eat all I can.. lalalala

Will be going to Victoria tomorrow.. hehe but can be back at night..

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
