My Sunday afternoon yesterday consisted of: cutting grass manually to only find out that the electric lawn mower does indeed work almost after the fact in which case I proceeded to repeat the process because the manual one didn't work too well in the first place. *Sigh, never listen to anyone! There goes a free workout and tanning session. Here I am, a few shades darker with a blistered hand, I mean hands. I often forget how much more damaging the sun is here than in Hong Kong. And needless to say, I have already tanned a few during my stay in Hong Kong. It isn't the official beginning to summer yet and I wonder if I will look like another nationality by the end of it.
So far, I am doing ok. No major depression (or jetlag.. anymore) from being away for so long. I think I continue to have a pretty good time in Toronto, mostly because you all make me feel so welcome. :) It's time to get back to real life though, unfortunately.
Oh, and I never finished my story, I also chased a giant bee (of which I lost), attempted to fix a drainage problem (both in my house), had ribs and chicken wings at Montana's and slept for 12 hours! food coma. :p. I think that was the best part, sleeping and of course eating, especially desserts. mmmm.
Speaking of desserts:
Erin and I (and friends) found Cafe Princess! A korean owned coffee shop lined with old fashioned (what I liked to call) 'princess chairs' and floral couches with soft korean love songs playing. And, I couldn't forget about the teddy bears on the window sill. I think we all whipped out the camera and took pictures of the teddies when we spotted them and of course being asian, the stuff we ordered (I think we gave Ryan quite the asian experience right E?).
Pictured above is the Princess Platter. A yummy treat for $14.95. It includes 2 slices of cake (we chose chocolate and strawberry cheesecake), 2 sccops of ice-cream and fruits drizzled with chocolate and strawberry (I think..) sauce. MMMM! Definitely a treat fit for a princess.. or 2.
