DAY #9-10
i have to explain what just happened. ah yee vee took everyone out to dinner at a very fancy chinese restaurant and we'd eaten huge bowls of shark fin soup, and had spiced tofu, abalones, and all these other chinese delicacies with our rice that would make half of you throw up....but that's besides the point. it was delicious! and expensive...

we went to the supermarket to buy ingredients because everyone loved the currie that aiee haley made last night (that's another story coming up in a few paragraphs) and she's actually in the process of making it again...right now...

aiee margaret, amelia and i left to get the car and we decided to go home first cuz there was laundry to be done, and we weren't home TWO SECONDS...when the phone started ringing, so aiee marg went to pick it up while i turned on the computer and when i came back into the room, there was suddenly a voice from the backyard door and amelia and i freaked out cuz we thought there was a robber! aiee marg raced to the door to find ah yee mary yelling thru the window saying "DON'T WASH THE CLOTHES! DON'T WASH THE CLOTHES!" and then the garage door started banging and ringing...so aiee marg raced to the door to find ah yee vee heaving and saying "DON'T WASH THE CLOTHES! DON'T WASH THE CLOTHES!" of course we were confused as to why not...and completely flipping out cuz we were having heart attacks...when kou fou george popped his head in and explained that he'd left his stainless steel watch in his shirt pocket! CASE CLOSED!

so anyway, we've come home from a day shopping across the border in bellingham, washington state. that's another joke in itself. try explaining to the poor guard as we're crossing the border that there's 6 canadians...4 from toronto, 1 from calgary, 1 from vancouver, as well as an american from san francisco and an australian from sydney.....in a RENTAL CAR just going out for a day to go shopping! luckily for us...dad has a cute baby face and who could possibly thing that he's in the business with osama bin ladin?!?!? but i have to say i'm mighty pleased with myself as i've scored a cute little light blue purse from american eagle and a cream colored cordoroy skirt from gap. very cheap. YAH! good times!

yesterday i was driven out of aiee marg's house because aiee haley made currie...and it STUNK UP THE WHOLE APARTMENT! peeyou! so i went into the yard with amelia's book and because there are no chairs out there...squatted in the farthest corner (to get away from the smell that's streaming out the windows) until it was dark...the neighbour stuck her head out the top window sometime after and then it occured to me how odd i looked....like i was sitting in the corner because i was in trouble or something! ;p

the nite market last night was awesome! it was so much fun cuz we'd walk around looking at really nice stuff for really cheap prices and eat fish balls, stinky tofu, fried cod with 12 ppl cuz eva and her husband came by on their bus trip! then when we left, because our van only 8 ppl, 5 of us walked halfway before we sat down at a bus shelter waiting for dad to come pick us up! you should have seen us! we looked like a bunch of hitchikers!

alright, i hope you guys have a good laugh at my exploits...good nite now!
