Day 16

I skipped a lot of days.. my bad >__>
I was busy, tired and just plain lazy ^^; Well I didn't do anything too exciting but on day 13 I just off the 2nd deck of a boat and into the ocean. It was fun, except I forgot to plug my nose and a bunch of salt water went up my nose =__= The kids were cheering me on, chanting my nick name "Xi Chong". (I forgot to mention that one of the camp counsellors gave me a chinese(?) nick name o__0) I'll definitely be doing that again. 

Also I was moved to another resort, Sandals-the couple resort. It's beautiful and really really big compared to this one. There are 3 sections of that resort and you have to shuttle to each section but its only takes like 5 mins or less to get to each section. There's the Manor, Beach & Villa and Riviera. Personally I think Riviera is the nicest because it right beside the beach, I can't say much about the Villa section because I havent been there yet. The Manor section has the main pool which it double maybe even triple the size of the boscobel pool. I would love to take my hunni there to Sandals <3 Mayb in 2 years for our 5 year anniversary. 

Well anyways we live in the Manor section but it is not it the main Manor building it's in its own housing area which it surrounded by other ".houses" and trees.. we also have a private pool which it shared between 2 houses. Any ways that area has a shit load of mosquitoes, I was bitten so much over there.

We went out for dinner at a Japanese Restaurant called Kimonos. We were seated with 5 other couples on one large table. The chef cooks all the entrees right in front of the guests, they were supposed to entertain us. The cooking had some oriental flare to it, the kuko chicken was my favourite, he also made "beef bibimbap" but it was just beef... It's not mixed with rice, egg, veggies or anything o.o  We had green tea mousse and lychee tart, the mousse had an icing texture >_>

Sushi Buffet at Aji Sai

I went to a sushi buffet on Queen street called Aji Sai. The prices are decent during the lunch hours, it was $12.99. The sushi is pretty much a hit or a miss, you either love it or hate (dislike) it.

Black dragon roll, green dragon roll and Spicy California

Yam tempera roll, Rainbow California roll, and Dynamite roll

We also ordered Yaki Udon, Miso Soup, and Sushi Pizza. My favourite were the Rainbow California roll, Yaki Udon and the Dynamite roll. I REALLY DID NOT LIKE THEIR SUSHI PIZZA. It was the worst I've ever tasted before... and I was craving that the most too T__T It was dry deep fried rice with sloppy salmon chunks, there clearly wasn't enough sauce on it either =__=

Mini Buffalo Haul

My Mom woke me up around 9:00am today and told me that we were going shopping in Buffalo, NY. 
I was like.. what? Now?! (I was dead tired, I usually sleep in till 10-11am)
It takes about 1-2 hours to get from T.O to Buffalo, we got lost in the process of finding a mall. Since I didn't know the actual name of the mall it was difficult to find. (I never went cross the border that's why ^^;)
We went to Boulevard Mall but that wasn't the RIGHT mall and it took a while to get there because the only thing my mom's friend could remember was that the mall had a Macy's. (Aren't Macy's REALLY common over there?) Well like 30-40 minutes later.. I found the actual mall that they wanted to go to.. it was the Walden Galleria Mall =__=

I also went to the Coach in the Canada One Outlets, when coming home. I didn't see much I liked... well there wasn't much of a price difference.  I went to the Victoria's Secret as well because of the 75% off I heard about from other bloggers O_O. We don't have that BIG of a sale here... but most of the stuff was GONE! 
(Left - Right: OPI Nail Polish in Samoan sand, Hopelessly in love, Panda-monium pink, VS liquid foundations in Light 10 and Medium 10, VS lipsticks in Grape fruity and Poppy-sicle, Coach wristlet)

**I wasn't sure which foundation to buy so I bought both light 10 and medium 10... The medium is too dark =__= but I guess I could used it to mix into my foundations to match my summer shade. Also the VS lipstick in Grape fruitty smells so yummy :3

A Robins Nest Outside my Window

The little robins decided to make their home outside one of the second floor windows. It started when I was still on vacation in China.. so it was a span of 5-6 weeks I think? Now the baby robins that hatched not too long ago, have flown away and I guess they now have a much bigger nest.

Mama Robin: What are you looking at? (No eggs at the moment)

A week or two later, little blue eggs! (The third egg came later o__0) 

They hatched a few day later when I came back from China. They have BIG mouths o.o

Two weeks later .. they are all grown up (kind of)! They don't have the red bellies yet ^^ 
One of the birdies took longer to learn how to fly, it was sad.. the siblings they it all alone in the nest for 2 days. The Mama and Papa robins would still come back to feed it though. (I watched the baby robin, it kept looking out like it wanted to fly with the rest). It finally flew today and... hasn't come back.

They are all gone now ='( probably in a bigger home.


**Photo credits to Bek - Also.. the pictures are super blurry and stuff because of all the dust near the windows >__> and... all the bird crap the robins left us =__=
