Had lunch with coworkers on Sat. Saw the new born. IMO way too lil to be taken out on the street; just 1 mth old...
Worked slightly on Sat and Sun morning. The weather was way too nice.
Went to Coquitlam and got my skates sharpened. Saw Nam's mother. She was talking to the other skating parents. Nam's skates were as big as mine, or almost, but he's only 12 or around that age.
Went to The Bay just half an hr before closing and got a new luggage :D. I'm just sick and tired of the old luggage that I kept borrowing from my parents. It was on sale for $170, regular price $340. It's a 25" upright Samsonite Rhapsody Pro. It does not have a spinner like its other products. There was another model right next to it that had a spinner but it looked way too bulky and the color was just horrible. Plus, the price was 2xx. I think I got a good deal.

Easter Long weekend

Went to 3-hr of church in total.
Got my long overdue haircut.
Cleaned the tank.
Managed to vacuum 70% of the place....

Got See's Candies from my sister. I'm hiding it and only have 3 chocolates out at a time. Very good portion control I think :).

Saw 2010. It was great! I wish there were subtitles when they were speaking Tibetan and Russian.

Finished "The Gatecrasher". Not as good as I had hoped.
Started "Almost Moon".... also not as good as I had hoped... so far.

Found "Cemetary Dance" (by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston) in Chapters!! A nice surprise, I didn't even know they have a new book out.

Caught up on all my TVs, Vampire Diaries, Fringe, Supernatural, Smallville, Medium, and Human Target.

Managed to try out a new recipe, Spaghetti with Fish and red pepper sauce. Saw it on Global Fri or Sat morning. Speaking of sauce... went by Coles in Richmond Center and saw the "Mastering... French Cooking.. by Julia...". It did have a sauce recipe similar to that. In it, it mentioned there r 2 ways of doing it. One of which was ...... so that... having the xxxxx suspended than falling at the bottom .... for the creamy texture. Also, there was sth mentioned about cooking the shallots/onion together with the butter. I think I made the mistake of trying to soften the shallots first and then in the end there wasn't much juice left behind. The book seemed interesting but the whole book was 4x.xx and way too thick to read and also the copy was quite battered.
