I went to St Lawrence market today, quite a well known market as a tourist attraction in Toronto. When i reached there, it reminded me of Melbourne's Victoria Market..sigh..i miss Victoria market, i really miss the flea market. I bought ample beautiful stuff from there a year plus ago. Its really cool & i couldn't get enough of it.

After "marketing", Ber & Chris brought me to the garage sales around our neighbourhood. Its so cute..the house owners will take out stuff they don't want, place it nicely outside their garden & start selling their second hand goods. We visited quite a few homes & both of them managed to get good stuff at dirt cheap prices. U know the 'Sharp' calculator that we bought for almost 20 bucks in S'pore? They are selling it for like 50 cents??!! We were so amazed & so Ber quickly grabbed it & gave 50 cents to the owner before someone else spotted sucha great deal. I thought visiting these garage sales at people's home were pretty fun! I wanna do that again soon! We were kinda hungry at about 4pm. I didn't ate anything from morning til noon as i was feeling pretty 'fat'. We went to Ikea and had hotdog bread. Guess what..the hotdog bread in s'pore is selling at a dollar & we think is dirt cheap. Here in Toronto, 50 cents!!! I am real amazed. *Feeling dizzy..

Ber drove us out of Toronto today. We went to a city called Brampton. Had a hearty dinner of lobster noodle..real fresh lobster by the way & so many other side dishes like a large fish..Bleh..I skipped the rice & ate with caution. I don't want to eat so much & become real addicted to food. I must learn how to resist temptations. In the end, i bought fruits from the supermarket to stop me from snacking unhealthily. Today, Chris finally realized & said 'Eh, i think u really have put on weight' but Ber still didn't felt that way. Gasps. I could feel it. I felt heavier. Laughs. of course..from the way i eat & the stuff i eat..i am sure to gain weight.

Not bad huh. I have already went to Ottawa, Montreal, London & Brampton, four other different cities on my trip here in Toronto. I am contented cos at least i did not stay in Toronto itself but wander elsewhere. All thanks to Ber & Chris, for driving long hours here & there to let me have an eye-opener. Its great. Even better than the trip i went to Melbourne because i only went to another state - Tasmania, when i was in Melbourne.

We are gonna have a bbq outside the garden tomorrow! We have steaks, chicken wings, sweet corn & kebabs all prepared for tomorrow. How not good Ber's life could be in Toronto STUDYING?? I must say..not all foreign students have the ability to enjoy life like that. Ber is a lucky guy! Tsk. but being his cousin, i get to enjoy every single bit. Hee.

i cried my heart out at 8:15 PM
