foray into a new language

les amours, les travaux
même le chant d'un oiseau
ton coeur, mes mots
font tourner le monde

(the love, the work,
even the song of a bird
your heart, my words
make the world go round)

we were made to sing this piece
by Gilles Vigneault
in typical nursery fashion
at our first
french language course today

nice words

first day out by ourselves

at last! we're in canada! super jetlagged but super excited!

so far, we've met so many friendly people, very cheerful.

today we explored 2 malls in canada. took the sky train from lougheed to metrotown station. went into wall mart for the first time! it's huge and i wanted to buy everything i saw. the food looked amazing, mouthwatering... even those that we could find in Singapore, like malteasers... i think its the feeling that walmart gives that makes Vancouver malteasers look so much more appealing then Singapore malteasers.

and its cheappp. brought over too many things that i can find in walmart. like a HUGE box of gummy bears for $3cad. and fullscape paper. what else? walmart has ALOT of things! hahah.. oh well. maybe montreal is more expensive? better be prepared. i think im just comforting myself. >.< heheh. but yeah there is walmart in montreal too!

we had A&W for lunch at lougheed mall. it was a super fast decision because A&W right! hahah.. really good! even though this A&W didnt have the original CONEY DOG and there was another item that was super good too... dan and i cant remember. no its not the rootbeer float. was it waffles? but we had a mama burger. there's a papa burger n a grandfather burger too. quite funny.

so we walked around and looked at stuff. i liked ALOT of things at first and i wanted to buy all of them but cannot la, first day start buying everything. soo i didnt buy all the things that i did not reallyreallyreally like. im eyeing this pair of fitflops lookalikes. some exercise shoe. super comfy n helps u exercise while u walk. sounds good hur.

fell asleep on the skytrain back home coz of the long day out and we're still jetlagging. realised i havent blogged about our 1st day. i tink i shall leave dan to it. eyes are closing, body is aching, mind is blank. first time jetlagging. hahaha i think.

tomorrow we'll be going up to whistler!! for another adventure!
