Right shin really sore eventhough only ran once the whole week... might be ran a bit too hard on the track and not used to running after a whole week of skipping it.

Went to renew house insurance... and they're closed on Sun... kinda regretted that we didn't stay with the other insurance place that opens 7 days a week.

Went to Les's wedding on Sat. It was fun. The church was very beautiful and the ceremony was short. We're very happy for him.
Banquet was at Vancouver Hotel. All his friends at our table (which btw is the farthest away from the Head table) all look very familiar. They all look like some actors/actresses that I've seen on TV.

Had family dinner on Sun.
We had roast beef with very lean gravy and meshed potatoes.
The cat doesnt' like me anymore.

great weekend

Had a great weekend.
Went to Sun's adult nite skating session... not too many ppl but had 2 annoying hockey ppl.
I still prefer my weekday session more... however I'm now no longer the only skater on the ice.... but still better than tons of kids.
Looking forward to Feb Skate Continentals, still waiting for the individual event tickets to be out.

Saw "Dark Knight" finally! It's SO GREAT!! Heath is SO talented! I wanted to see it again... there were some parts that I didn't quite get..eg. why would he need to break into his own lab.... etc

Very busy with facebook lately, fluff treasure hunt is on. I finally found a Green Ya-Rubly after 298 gems and a Red Ya-Rubly after a few more gems. Now I'm looking forward to a Yellow or even Lengendary Ya-Rubly.. hehee... me greedy.

nice weekend

Had a pretty relaxing weekend. Not too much grocery shopping.
Had mid-autum festival with family and relatives. Got mooncakes from uncle.
Work was ok altho busy but found a big problem on Mon.... and no idea how to solve it.
Skating is going good. My clockwise backcrossover is now way better and I've a new understanding about double loop.... ohhh i'm so close to getting it now.... just need more guts and speed and height.

Grocery shopping week

All weekend spent on grocery shopping mostly. Been to Superstore and Zellars twice. Also visited Langley Farm Market, Shopper Drugs Mart, and Save-on.
Got some new cleaning stuffs, Vim Ox-clean for floor, Vim Gel for bathroom, and Green Works multi-surface cleaner for the granite countertop. I was so excited about the Ox-clean that I used it right away. Certainly didn't need to rinse like it claimed but still needed to wipe it afterwards. Saved me at least half an hr to an hr anyway.
Got some unexpectedly expensive almond..... thinking that if I got it at the bulk section it'd be cheaper.... guess not..... ended up $7.XX .... i should really double check next time that it really is $14.XX per kg. Also thinking that Romaine for .98 ea is cheap.... but found out later that it's only .58 ea in Langley Farm Market.
Passed by Big Crazy while on the way to Superstore, they had the same almond cookies that City Fresh for $3.XX for only $2.99.
Found some really good deals at Shoppers Drug Mart. They're having organic this and that for sale. Got some Mediterranean herb 8-grain organic crackers for only $1.47 and organic mini honey grahram for only $1.99.
The lesson for this weekend is:
- cleaning stuffs go to Superstore
- veggie go to Langley Farm Market
- crackers and snacks go to Shoppers Drug Mart.

Movies saw: Kung Fu Panda, Nanny's Diary, Mummy 3.

Finished reading "Breaking Dawn". Started reading "The Host".

Went to driving range once, I suck. The latte there was really good, wouldn't mind going there again.

Went to the lantern festival w/ friends on Stevenston Hwy. It was quite good, except for some lame ones. It was like watching xmas lights but not as cold.

Drove to Surrey to help out getting rid of the old car. Finally!!! I think it's a better choice to get the bikes instead of the bus passes... but then we don't bike much.

Did a whole lot of clean up during the long weekend.... but the fridge still stinks... from the chives. .... the baking soda + lemon combination clearly wasn't enuf. I'd try to finish the chives and pack the rest of the veggie away in a casserole container tonite....

Ran once on the track during the weekend. They were painting the track and we had to turn around much earlier than before where they only had the gate blocking a section of the track.... This morning it's all fixed. They even had part of the gate opened, but only for 1.5 lane (so u have to "line up" to get across).

Went out once for lunch this week, the tiny Taiwanese restaurant across from the chinese market. We had Tan Tan noodles, sesame pocket-bun w/ pan fried beef, and pan fried bun w/ chicken. It was so good.

Tried the PC chicken and rosemary ravioli... it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Still have half of it left, I should go get some pasta sauce to finish it up.

Woke up at 5 this morning, half an hr before my alarm, and made coffee and lunch.... but someone forgot to bring his lunch.....
