arrived montreal

bonjour from montreal!!

at family friend's place now using the internet.. nice family... first time meeting them as they were friends of another family friend in auckland.... they picked me up from the airport, sent me to my backpackers then came took me out for dinner after my nap...and now i'm at their place using internet...waiting for another of their daughter to come back from work as she's the same year as me and also studying at mcgill.... malaysian... small world don't u think?

had dinner at chinatown then did some grocery shopping.... the first thing i bought: cucumber! Three cheers for shermayne! she bought veges... i bought healthy food today... no meat..... bought muesli bars, cereals, milk, bread and jam.... the food i'm planning to eat for the next few days before finding my apartment.... healthy eh? wanted to get instant noodles but nahhh..... must be healthy since no more mummy to make sure i'm eating healthy.... RaWwwRrr!!

anyway, i'm doing fine so far...the journey here was miserable though.. especially from LA to detroit, detroit to montreal....terrible..cheapo flight....ishhh!!! oh wellz, what's done has been done..... the whole time i was considering whether or not to go LA at all during my trip back.. maybe just forfeit the ticket and buy a one way ticket back to auckland... see how much it will cost me first...still have a long time to think about that.....

as for my flight from nz to LA........ wait for my next post when i get hold of wireless internet on my laptop and u'll kno the experience and thoughts running in my head.... not good ones at all... was blogging abt it in LA airport since i had to wait for 10 hours!!

so so, how's montreal like? well, weather is warm right now. still summer.... gets dark pretty late. like the US, driving is on the other side of the road.... buildings look kinda old over here.... as in the buildings in downtown where the uni is....a lot of places look dodgy and unsafe... doubt i'll be going out much during the nights.... a lot of ppl speak french.. there's also ppl begging for money.... they seem pretty fierce.... i was just walking and they start speaking really loud when i walk pass and ignored them.... guess they were swearing? the aunty said just ignore them, dun make eye contact or anything and just WALK! hahahaha!!

ok larrr...that's it for now...just letting u all know that i'm safe and sound and prove to u that i'm not MIA! see i keep to my promise! but yea, dno when the next time i'll blog.... gna be busy searching for a place to stay as i reali wna get out of the backpackers quick! sharing with so many ppl.. kena conned..the guy wrote to me in the email saying that 4 of us will be in the same room and not sharing with others... stupid.... we are sharing with others..dangerous la.... dun wna get my laptop stolen...hehehehe...

kk, gta go. rude la to just be online. no one on msn also..everyone busy preparing for the ball.. the ball i'm gna miss!!!! ishhh... alrighteyyy..bye for now!!!!!
