Où suis-je? (Where am I?)

So this weekend we went to Mont Tremblant with Auntie Grace. The weather was pretty good until the last day but it only started raining when we were in the hotel, in the restaurant or in the car. Unfortunately I wasn't able to upload any videos because the maximum upload usage is 100mbs per day and my vlogs are usually around 500mbs... and it was super slow so now that I'm back home, it's time to upload them because I've got fast internet again!

Here is the first vlog:

GOOD BYE YEE MA AND WOO SOO :(

I am so sad that Yee Ma and Woo Soo are leaving today. It's been a great month hanging out and travelling with them that I am so so so so sad that they are leaving. To be honest, I wish that they will live with us in Canada so we aren't as lonely and be able to have lots of fun times together. Hopefully, that will happen real soon because I miss them a lot already and it's only been like what... 2 hours?!?!?

And then on top of that I accidentally formatted/deleted all the files on my SD card and then overwrote stuff on top so now Dad is currently trying to recover the files but it is not looking very hopeful.

So I guess I present to you the very last vlog featuring Yee Ma and Woo Soo for this month... because I told them to come back next month to celebrate my birthday (fun fact: My birthday and lunar birthday is on the same day this year so it's super special!)

And here are some funny pictures I took on my other camera before they left! 

The white balance is a bit on these following pictures... still need to learn how to use the camera I guess.

THANKS YEE MA AND WOO SOO FOR EVERYTHING!!! I HOPE YOU HAD AN AMAZING MONTH WITH US... and YEE MA, thank you for choosing to spend your birthday month with us... and WOO SOO, thank you for all the fun, crazy and amazing times (& serving you like I am your servant.)

Welcome to Calgary!

The day started off a bit tough as we had an early wake up call and then had to wait at the airport for 3+ hours until the driver came to pick us up... but then everything changed.

1. The driver drove a huge car/truck to pick us up (and 4 other people but because they were late, we had the whole car to ourselves and it was a 13 person seater).

2. Arrived at the hotel and then was quickly ushered out to eat a delicious 6 dish Chinese meal.

3. Banff was beautiful and still is beautiful.

4. Our hotel was right across a Safeway (Grocery Store, so we managed to stock up our fruit and drinks... and then we realized we forgot to bring chopsticks to eat cup noodle. Me and Woo Soo quickly changed out of our pjs to run to Safeway to grab a few forks and chopsticks and we are now all set).

Here are some pictures I took from my vlogging camera. I am currently attempting to upload the video but so far it has only uploaded 6%. (*UPDATE: I gave up trying to upload... it took forever haha and I've got to go to sleep because early wake up call tomorrow!)

View from the back of the plane in Calgary. 

Our hotel and a couple of tree models. 

The Main intersection in Banff and a church.

Totally not standing in the middle of the street. 

How the boutiques look like when the lights turn on in the evening.

A picture of the Rocky Mountains with the boutiques.

A really good place to get delicious Steak and Cheese Fondue. (someone recommended this but I never tried it. Just took this picture because I want to remember the name.)

A really good coffee shop (someone recommended this but I never tried it. Just took this picture because I want to remember the name.)

Hotpot Time!

The majority of today was spent cleaning and preparing food for the hotpot and packing for my trip to the West Coast for tomorrow. Therefore didn't record too much stuff...

But anyway, going to be away on a trip for the next 5 days so don't expect any vlogs from me. I haven't decided if I should group the videos I take into one or separate it all up... we will see.

Dinner at Sam's?

Didn't do a lot of stuff today... spent most of the day preparing food and cooking food for tonight's dinner.

Shopping Again?!?!?

Went a little crazy again today on our shopping spree at Vaughan Mills. I can't believe Yee Ma and Woo Soo have been in Canada for two weeks already! Time passes by so fast when you are having lots of fun and every day is filled with fun adventures, and laughter.

Here is the vlog documenting the adventures of today!

Mini KBBQ at Home

Woops today's video was relatively short due to these reasons:

1. We were all tired from the Ottawa Trip
2. Woke up at 11am
3. Went to Yum Cha with Woo Soo's friend (And I didn't want to film them)
4. Preparing for the KBBQ took 1 hour
5. The KBBQ started at 7pm and ended at 11pm

So hopefully it will be a more eventful day tomorrow or something.

Happy Mother's Day!

Today wasn't as eventful as we spent the majority of the day driving back to Toronto. Also, because we kinda took a wrong turn when driving, that caused us to drive through a detour and that meant we had to drive more than last time.

However buying the flowers was a true mission. I only had $19 dollars in cash and I wanted to get 2 bunch of flowers, both cost $10... thankfully the guy was very nice and let me have the flowers. (BTW, I had to scrap around my wallet and managed to get $19... haha it was very funny.)

Anyway here is today's vlog!

Late Videos Time!

So the hotel had really really slow upload speed so I was unable to upload my vlogs for the last two days.

Tip: turn down the volume around 3:12 for the first video.

Numero Deux in Ottawa

So today was probably the hottest day ever as it was like 30 degrees on top of it being humid as it wanted to rain. Therefore we spent the majority of the time indoors; walking around the Byward Market and shopping at Rideau Centre. However we managed to take pictures at the Parliament Hill before it got too hot and too sunny. 

For dinner we ate at a restaurant called Miso. It had very good service as the server was very nice to us and treated us by giving us extra stuff. Since they take the day off on Sundays, then they had to use up all the food and I think that is why they gave us extra stuff. In addition, the food was all very fresh as everything was prepared right after we ordered. I ordered a ramen and it was the biggest ramen I ever ate... it had LOTS of veggies (YUM!) and the Marinated Pork was literally falling apart. Oh and there was LOTs and LOTs of ramen too... Here's the picture of my ramen!

We will be returning home tomorrow therefore the videos will be uploaded tomorrow. I tested out uploading today and it said that it would take 300 minutes!!!! I much rather post tomorrow instead :P

Two Lips Festival

Went to Ottawa today because of the Tulip Festival. The tulips are given to us by the Netherlands due to us letting Princess Juliana, the Queen of Netherlands stay in Canada and take refuge during the World War II. Therefore to express her appreciation and gratitude for keeping her daughters and herself safe, and allow her to give birth to a baby girl; she donates tulips to Canada to give us her thanks.

However, this hotel has really bad wifi once again (download speed is fast but it takes forever to upload something) so I will be uploading the vlogs when I get back.

Hopefully these photos will be able to satisfy your hunger again ;)

Cherry Blossoming

Today was been such a beautiful day spending time at High Park admiring the beautiful Cherry Blossoms. This year, the trees were blossoming more but unfortunately there were a lot more people. In addition, the weather channel said that it would be raining tomorrow so everyone were flocking into the park so they could get a glimpse before everything was ruined.

Anyway, I am going to Ottawa for the Tulip Festival tomorrow. I may not be able to upload the vlogs the next few days unless the hotel wifi is very fast. If it's slow, then I will do what I did last time and just do a quick update blog post for that day.

Funny Water Fountain

So today we were going to go to High Park to look at the Cherry Blossoms but because we arrived too late... there were too many people and the time was not right as the sun was above our head (this made it difficult to take pictures). So instead, we went to Eaton Centre to do a tiny bit of shopping and just wander around Downtown.

After a one hour drive home due to rush hour traffic, we had to quickly get dressed to go to a charity gala; Mother's Day Celebration by Carefirst (A non-profit organization for seniors). I also had to perform a dance with my mom and a few other people (Tip: stay till the end of the video to see me dance).

Anyway hope you enjoy this video and I have to wake up in a couple of hours to go to High Park again.

Feeding the Animals!

So today we went to the zoo and saw a lot of really cool things. First of all, we got to see the panda actually walking around, and then we got to see the grizzly bear, lion and giraffe being fed. The weather was also really nice so that means it wasn't very hot but not too cold... the weather was just right.

However, I feel like the song in the video doesn't really fit the theme of today's adventure... so I will also link the video I made last year when I went to the zoo as well just for your viewing pleasure!

ROARRRRRRR. Finn was actually very quiet and being a good boy. 

Petting Nigel the Goat

Standing on top of the CAMEL! 

Riding a camel.

The previous three photos are taken by Woo Soo! I really like the one with me petting the goat.

Happy Birthday Yee Ma!

"Dear Yee Ma,
I hope you had an amazing day today and I hope that you are happy with your decision to spend your birthday in Canada! I wish you will have a good and healthy life forever.
- Sam"

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed today's vlog... it is quite an intimate one because I spoke more cantonese than my usual vlogs. In addition, it included a few more special moments than usual.

Hopefully I will be able to upload my haul video (Showcasing what I got from the shopping trip) in a couple of days.... when I find time to edit the video before leaving for our next trip.

Here's a couple of photos I took on my vintage Polaroid Camera... also I only had 4 polaroids left so I couldn't take more... even if I wanted to.

And finally, here is today's vlog...

Road Trip to US

Sorry... I won't be able to post today's vlog as the internet in this hotel is too slow. It was literally going to take 200 minutes and that was if I let my laptop stay on the entire night... and I didn't want to do that.

Therefore I hope these photos will be able to satisfy your hunger for my blog until I get home tomorrow to upload the vlog. So... you will be able to get two videos on one day!

This is my favourite picture I took the entire trip... it has a rainbow, a seagull and a waterfall in one picture!

And this picture has ice in the foreground and the two falls in the background! 

Evening Walk with the Family

Today was spent getting everything ready for tomorrow's road trip to the States. Most importantly was getting all the snacks prepared because a road trip isn't complete without the snacks. 

After that we went on an evening walk to digest some of the food we ate and these are a few pictures I was able to quickly take on our walk. 

(Look at us all holding all our snacks!)

(And look at the beautiful sky. The moon is so pretty this evening!)
