Fall Highlights

~dt grad 96 reunion. we had our high school reunion this past friday, nov. 3 at the Heritage Hall on Main St. i was apprehensive about going but it turned out to be a wonderful time catching up and reminiscing with old friends that i haven't seen for a long, long time. the reunion committee planned the whole event for us and even made a slideshow with some real footage of back in the days of '96 along with the old school tunes. i'm really glad that i went!
















~high tea with Ste. Stella is like my big sister and she took me out on an afternoon high tea at the Secret Tea Garden. i always enjoy our time spent together as we try to unravel some of life's mysteries together. The high tea was scrumptious and I ordered the highly recommended Vanilla Roobois Tea.







~18 weeks ultrasound. it's amazing to see how much baby Chan has grown through the past seven weeks. i'm definitely showing nowadays and can't wait for the bump to be even more noticeable (it's funny cuz some ppl. just think that i'm getting fat but are too nice to ask if i have been eating too much). i have to get some new pants b/c i can't seem to fit into any of my old pants anymore. being prego has been super good for me so far....no complaints other than expanding waistline, sore breasts and being tired. my strongest cravings are sour foods like sour patch kids, mcD's tartar sauce, olives, pickles, vinegar sauce (for the little shanghai dumplings). i'm super thankful that i didn't get the typical morning sickness of throwing up. the best perk of being prego is to use it as an excuse for everything and people generally understand. (ie. i can't remember...or i don't feel like cleaning the toilet)

~28th birthday. thanks to my friends who came to Science World with me to see the Body Worlds 3 display. my favourite parts were of course, admiring the work of real, plastinated bodies and seeing my hardworking friends completing the worksheets that i have made for them. hahaha. congrats to vienne (1st prize) and to cynthia (2nd prize)!! we finished off the day by hanging back at our place and eating some rebellious tomato pizza. here's the url link to my imagestation album if you want to see some pics....

~hallowe'en with the Burtchetts. as part of our goal to enrich lucia's Swiss b-friend, Damien, to the Canadian culture, we felt that it was necessary for him to experience "trick or treating". we bundled up on the eve of oct. 31 and headed out to the dunbar area where we took four of the burtchett kids out for a fun night of trick or treating. needless to say, it was definitely an experience in which our bon ami n'est pas oublie!

the little girl dressed up as a cow is mikayla!! she originally dressed up as a princess but the weather was too cold to wear a dress so she ended up putting on the cow outfi on top. so....there she is, our lovely COW PRINCESS!!
