This is a Brownie. This is a piece of Brownie with whipped cream on top.

Brownie + Whipped Cream = Yummy.

This is my mouth. This is my mouth with whipped cream sprayed into it.

Whipped Cream + Tastebuds = Yummy.

Okay, this was yesterday.

Dad saw this thing in the newspaper advertising a Canada education fair in Hyatt.

He said I should go. I thought I should go.

So I went.

Before that, though, we went to Lido for lunch.

On the way, I saw this really nice painted message on the door of a white truck.

It didn't matter what the truck said. I just thought it looked really cool so I snapped a picture of it. :D

That is the old lady who reduced me big, strong dad into an embarrassed little boy.

We had to sit with this old lady with her daughter (a middle-aged woman) at the char-sau rice shop in Lido.

Earlier on, we had ordered a lemon teh ping for dad and a warm Chinese tea for me. I think when the waitress came with our drinks, she spilled a little tea on the table.

No one really noticed until the tea somehow spread over to the old lady's side and started to drip down the table. Dad tried to do something about it but the old lady was quicker. Using a tissue she wiped up the whole thing.

After that, I think she thought that the water came from the 'sweat drops' of the lemon teh ping. So she boldly took it up, placed it on a green saucer while smiling at my dad, much to my dad's chagrin.

Alaahh, papa. XD

Our nasi datang sudah. :D YUMMY!! But they gave us DUCK instead of CHICKEN.

as a result I ate only the chinese sausages. :( i don't like duck.

HAHA MELISSA!! XD

The boy was not in there, only his mum was there.

I just HAD to take a picture of it.

This is not the first time we've bumped into this particular car.

Ahhhh SA 617 X, the car plate number of our memories...

(it's not illegal kan?? O__O do i have to like, cover up a bit of the car plate number??)

When Jotun started to set up these little pondoks all around Kota Kinabalu, I used to think that they were portable toilets, until one day in the car with some people from church, mum told them that I thought these were toilets and they laughed. Which made it obviously transparent that they were NOT toilets.

How embarassing.

Finally saw how people put up those in-between-the-roads advertisements. :D

OKAY

the 'fair' itself was SOO FREAKING HIGH CLASS that i spent like five minutes wondering whether to go in or not.

Just before that, while coming down the stairs, a string of HIGH CLASS LOOKNG businessmen and women came up the narrow stairways so my brother and I had to squeeze ourselves to a side while awkwardly smiling at each and every one of them. :S

some of them were really friendly, some of them looked awkward as well, and some just ignored us.

Oh! And while hovering outside the fair, undecided, i had the chance to help a Chinese couple take a picture. so pleased. :P

and it was SO COLD.

thank God i brought my jacket.

not that it mattered anyway, i only went around the fair once, and somehow found myself talking to this representative from Saint John's College in Canada. i told her my interests were arts and medicine. she talked to me a bit about the college and stuff...

Really impressive, how friendly they can sound, while still acting professionally. I could sense some kind of boldness from her.

Indeed, Westerners are so, so different from us Asians.

Having done nothing much, since my dad could not accompany me to visit the fair (remember the stairs I talked about? well, he said he saw the stairs and he was scared to go down because of his foot. more on that later), we decided to go home.

I couldn't really talk about my future with a bunch of strangers without my ultimate financer and advisor with me. :(

i mean, i don't know a lot of things about further studies, okay?

oh, and i saw some people in the Hyatt Hotel parking lot decorating a SPORTS CAR for a wedding. WOW. SO cool. :)

AND WTHECK??? RM10 for not more than an HOUR'S PARKING???

Really a waste of money lah, considering what I'd managed to do at the education fair- ZILCH. :( sighs.

okay, so my dad. he's currently in KK for a week- sick leave.

because he'd managed to sprain his ligaments or tendons or something while playing badminton last week.

really bad lah, his left foot. :( all swollen and stuff. when he walks, he limps.

which is kinda weird, because he'd always been pretty strong and quick and stuff. (policeman bha, how can he not be?)

it gives me like, a feeling of how it's going to be like when he's old. aww. :)

Dad's left foot. OUCH. XS
