so happy it was the long weekend... i love work and all but i needed a break... maybe not so much from the kids but maybe certain parents =) it was the last day for the group 4s... makes me sad.. i'm gonna miss some of them! i start cooking this week for the next 2 weeks... *eep!* kinda nervous.... not sure what exactly i need to do and i think i'm gonna be a teensy bit stressed and freaking out haha...

went out on friday with my family for my birthday dinner... i finally got to eat this mango sago thingy that i've been wanting to try since we went to hk =) i remember waking up extra early to go to dim sum with my uncle cuz my sister was telling me how she had some of this yummy stuff the day before... so i wake up and go.. and they don't have it that early! made me sad.. my uncle laughed at me haha... so yeah dinner.. we went to kenny's delight or something at first markham... and ate all this yummy and probably not very good for you food haha... then we walked around first markham a bit.. my parents went to this dvd store while me and pat went to smart maple of course... i LOVE the fobby disney stuff they have there =) especially stitch! i love stitch =) my mom also got me this emily the strange hat with matching scarf whie we were there.. so now my sister calls me a fob cuz i got it at JCY house.. but it can't be fobby if its emily the strange!! its a black winter hat with cat ears and big pompoms =) my mom says i'm ahead of fashion cuz i asked for a hat with cat ears long time ago and now they're finally in stores haha... but its really nice and warm =)

i shoulda brought it with me on saturday =) i went with paul to niagara falls! yay! it was lotsa fun =) only thing was that i had to wake up at 6:30 =) i wasn't sure if paul would actually be here by 7:30.. so i wasn't ready by the time he came =) we had dinner in missisaugy at this chinese place and then we were off! i can't remmeber if i slept on the ride there... but it was so rainy! and paul joined a casino =) and i saw ugly dolls which were so cute! inside the casino/hotel thing there was like a mini shopping mall with expensive stores =) saw some relaly pretty and probably expensive dresses... and i found a perfume that smells like BABIES! for real! it reminded me of one of the kids from work.. and i couldn't stop smelling it even tho it smelled kinda weird...

so we finally went to the falls and took lotsa pictures =) it was rainy and misty and foggy so a lot of the pictures didn't turn out so well and we were soooo wet and i was sooooo cold =) good thing paul convinced me to wear a hoodie cuz i didn't even think about it being cold at all! we went to the journey behind the falls thing which was kool cuz i've never been... next time we're gonna go on the maid of the mist and the spanish areocar thing and i wanna do the helicopter ride! hehe... we spent a lot of time inside gift shops cuz it was so wet.. but that was fun too =)

then we headed for niagara-on-the-lake.. i love that place! it reminds me of main street but so much kooler =) we went into a lot of the stores even if we weren;t relaly gonna look at anything cuz it was so wet =) on the way from niagara falls to niagara-on-the-lake i made paul turn on the heat cuz i was cold and my feet were freezing haha... a lot of things were pretty much the same as i remmebered them... the candle store is gone tho.. and so is the winnie the pooh store.... but the fudge store was still there! and the christmas store! and the shiny store! =) i love the christmas store! i regret not buying anything now.. i wanted to but i was stoobud and thought they'd be too big for the tree.. but i coulda put them somewhere else! awwwww they were such kool ornaments too!! of coruse i bought fudge.. lotsa lotsa fudge... so yummy =) and paul got a caramel apple.. which was pretty yummy too =) but kinda expensive =) we spent quite a few hours there... just walking up and down the one street... then it was time to go! don't remmeber much about the ride home except that we got lost for a bit =) then we finally found the highway again and we were off for real =) and then i could sleep! =)

got home at 8 and had to rush to change into dry clothes so we could go to sushi to meet everyone for dinner =) that was fun! lotsa lotsa sushi and lotsa people and lotsa ice cream =) it was fun! thanks everyone for coming! organizing it made me a lil stressed hahaha cuz i hate organizing things but it was fun! yay sushi! too bad we couldn't do something afterwards... or we were too indecisive to decide what to do =) but it was fun!

sunday my mom bought a birthday cake =) so my birthday was spread out over the weekend which was kinda fun =) didn't do much.. i stayed up til 5:30 in the morning tho! reading this book about a serial killer.. which had a disappointing ending... stayed up late for that! i went to bed just as my dad was waking up to get ready for work... luckily my dad doesn't yell at me for staying up like my mom does =) oh and i applied to places to do my ECE.. so hopefully that goes well...

and today.. today i did nothing! well i did clean a little.. and umm don't remmeber so really nothing =) just glad i could sleep in and have a break.. tomorrow its back to work! i had a fun fun weekend... wish everyday was like that! oh pictures! i shall put some up =) then off to bed!
