So here I am in Edmonton. There is snow everywhere, and not the measly bits of snow I saw in TO. It blankets EVERYTHING. Like woah. Woah. Woooaaahhh.

I haven’t been out yet. I’m honestly a bit afraid to go outside D: But I will. Soon. Just need to.. Get out of bed. Lulz. I slept so much the past day. I guess it’s jet lag catching up. Good thing Anai had stuff to occupy her.

While waiting for the bus in TO it was snowing At first it was like, AWW SNOW. After like 2 minutes it became AHH SNOW D: And I stood in it for a good 10 minutes before the bus came D: I amused myself by dancing a little bit with my bag. I am strange, yes

Speaking of bags, my bag was so difficult to close when I left TO. XT and May had to help me pack while I flailed silently in the corner D: I’m not really looking forward to packing my stuff D:

Ooh, the amount of winter clothing I have is tremendous I have a ski mask I bought because my face kept drying up D: And I have Vancouver 2010 mittens which are RED and have the maple leaf on them AND THE BEST YET -  Anai’s mami made me a set of mittens, a scarf and a hat AWW ♥ Best ever! Along with my scarf and two jackets and thermal pants thingies that XT made me buy (for good reason), I’m a regular poofy overdressed tourist xD

So we’re going crazy today and playing in the snow, after hanging out a bit in the mall.. I want to get out of it because snow is cold D: BUT I WILL NOT BE A BABY!

Oh btw, this weather is murder on my skin. I have a huge, HUGE breakout. And it’s so eww uglyyy I feel ugly and so sad ): But ack well, I suppose I will live.. ): Plus I am literally peeling from the amount of dry skin on my body D: Not fun, in the least ):

Well that’s all from me for the moment. I will post again soon. OMG XENA CON TMR!! *flails*

I’m currently in Toronto! Left early this morning, and realised I missed out on packing a TON of stuff. I am quite screwed, but thankfully it’s not anything very important.

My Canadian friends are making fun of me being very intolerable of the cold. I don’t like them very much anymore :\ But ok the one next to me is still quite awesome.

It’s so cold here. I don’t really understand how anyone can take it. I suppose if you live here you’d be used to it, but woah cold.

And Jen says it’s only going to get colder in Edmonton D: This distresses me some. A lot. Halp.

Ok my hobo gloves are not doing me much good D: I should make like the maple and leaf, for warmer places. Lulz I’m so funny I kill myself *makes the nuuie face*

I haven’t updated in forever!!

I just landed in London. The flight was the best ever; I had 3 seats to myself and I laid down and slept like a baby. Plus the stewardesses didn’t poke me awake, which is always a big plus! I kept remembering things I forgot, like the DS games, my scarf, stuff like that. But ack, I hope the stuff I need, I have. The food was a bit bleh, but that’s to be expected. London in the wee hours of the morning from the skies is beautiful btw. Too bad I didn’t have my camera at the time, meh. Immigration was surprisingly fast; I had to get someone behind me to go on first. Baggage was slow and normal, mm. All in all, a good flight! Though at the Singapore side I got checked for explosives… Maybe it’s because I have a DYNAMITE personality!

*drums*

*waits for applause*

*fails*

London is cold! But not as cold as I think Canada will be :S Dina is here, I get to hang out with her for a few hours before she goes to Paris yay! And Kakak looks awesome ^-^ I am happy. But I think the trip squished my computer, it’s making funny noises now ): And I really, really have too much stuff. I have to bring less. I am flailing and panicking… But I expect things to work out (:

On Friday I go to Toronto to meet Jen3 and XT! I am excited Nervous as heck, but excited!

Oh yeah, I did everything on my last list except learning the dances. Oops. LOL.

18. ENTER A CONTEST BY 170110!! Oh dear.
19. BUY THE LAST IMPT PROP AND GET IT SENT!!

I still have so much to do!! I still have points 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19.

Ok so the plan is: Tomorrow I’ll wake up at 7, do my face I just realised the website for the contest says 12mn 170110, does that mean tonight?!?! OMG ok new plan.

Tonight:
- Do face, take pictures. Send it in. (Point 18)
- After that’s done, go do point number 9! Wait no, do number 2, then do number 9!
- If there’s still energy (and there probably won’t), do number 13!

Tomorrow:
- 1030AM: Go to Bugis to print A4 size picture of the flag. Get it on the spot. Bring a file or something to prevent dents!
- 11AM: Go to Topshop Suntec, check out the bras there. If there’s no size, check to see where there is. GET IT. (Point 8 )
- 9PM: Ask to leave a wee bit earlier. Hang with girls.
- 10PM: Get home, SCAN THE PICTURE to as BIG A RESOLUTION AS POSSIBLE. Will take some time and a lot of hard disk space so maybe do overnight. Then write onto CD.

Monday:
- 10AM: Hopefully the picture has finished and written successfully. Travel down to Farrer Park to get the flag done. (Point 4)

Ok that’s as far as I’ve gotten. That still leaves me with points 1, 3, 14, 15 and 19 by the end of Monday! Man, I SERIOUSLY (and I mean no joke) hope everything works out. The stress is killing me.

Plus omg I just remembered I should print out all my visa waiver and visa nonsense arghhh. Print the packing list plus replan what to bring from home and buy in London for people.

ARGH!!

Today I stared at numbers and Excel sheets the whole day. I am understandably a little cross-eyed x_x

Not bad, I think! Still got loads to do but it’s doable AWESOME!!

So I spent the morning looking for patterns for the costume. Mama is not pleased; she doesn’t like one certain part of the costume, even though no skin shows >_>

I also almost bought my Australia ticket… But I remembered last moment that I have a dental appointment on the 30th of April -_- So it’s either I cancel the appointment or I come home on the 29th. Choices, choices. How incredibly droll.

Ok, if I manage to leave work by 10 tonight, I’ll test the drums and guitars. I should write my advertisement for them today sometime too, and remember to take pictures. Hm >_>

I need to find a day to designate as SHOPPING DAY. I love shopping. I love spending money, which is probably why I’m going on this trip. It’s so expensive! x_x

Australia Day Sale = slightly cheaper fares!! Too bad I bought the UK flight already -_- BUT STILL. YAY. Gotta book it quick though because “Sale ends soon”. When is soon?!

Ok I seriously have to list out what I need to do. I love lists, srsly.

1. Talk to Australians about Australia.
2. Complete con costume.
3. Settle the flag by the end of the week.
4. Get the bag from BD by the end of the week.

That’s an awesome list. I’m going to have to rearrange them in my head so I can do all the shopping bits together, but I CAN DO IT! I must do it D:

I also just realised that I have to figure out stuff for my trip – like my travel journal, the polaroids, the video I am making, the stuff I have to buy for people I’m meeting, the stuff I have to buy for people here in Singapore.. Wargh D:

I just remembered that I have to learn Thriller. And Bad Romance. And sell the Wii Guitar Hero set, after I test it. OMG suddenly I have a lot of things to do, and only 14 days to do them D:

Hello, panic!

Sorry for the drama that was the last entry. Some things just happened and I felt so drained from all of it. Things are all sorted now though, yay!

I’ve finally bought my Amsterdam and Paris tickets, plus the ticket to get from Heathrow to Stansted the morning I get back from North America. Have I also mentioned that I got my LA-Houston ticket as well? Well that’s all the tickets I need, for Feb and March.

I’m still thinking of impromptu trips to Madrid and Venice, if I have the money. The thing is I have to look at Australia and plan it out properly. As long as that’s not done I can’t do anything else. I want to buy Australia before the week is out though, so the pressure’s on.

Speaking of pressure, I need to complete my costume for con. Headache, but thank God my mum is being her awesome self and wanting to help ♥ What else do I need to complete? I need to settle the flag, plus my luggage stuff with the lack of a hand carry. Money too. I feel like buying these Wonder Woman + Batgirl underwear sets. Hm. I need to recheck all my tickets, see if I’ve entered the right information under the personal particulars bit. I need to figure out transport from the airport, if no one’s picking me up (but I hope someone will!). I also still need to tie down all the stuff with my costume, and buy some stuff online. Oh, still need to book the car and plan the route omg.

Hm, come to think of it, I think that’s it. Strange, I thought I’d have more stuff to do… In turn making me really, really nervous D: Oh dear.

And my sister is going back to London today ): Sads, but I’ll see her again in about 14 days. OMG! 14 more days till I leave. Nervous/excited D:
