Montréal --> finally I get to use my French keyboard input

After this long weekend I have almost forgotten about my blog and how I'm to work hard in populating this website before the end of the year to break my record. So let me start talking:

I spent the long weekend in Montréal! And my jeans got tighter because I ate so much.

It was really nice to have a little gathering with Ryan (i mean rybo), who also visited me in Ottawa and toured the Capital in one day. Yep, he saw it all!

and Carolyn, who's going to be an awesome mum and wife for making the best grilled cheese sandwich and french toast.

I thought it was a lovely city, one of those that I especially like because it's big, dense, and old.

What's great was that I got to do some shopping. Having only some formal outfits, I desperately need some youthful wears. St. Catherine's had some really nice stores, but as a poor college student, I went to the more affordable ones (I got a shirt for 2 dollars at Urban Outfitters btw, best deal I've ever encountered).

I went clubbing for the first time (and it was in Montréal!) and learned the valuable lesson of knowing not to mix your drinks next time and afterwards eating tons of chicken nuggets. Bad choice sherry Bad choice. Drunk Carolyn and dancing Ryan were the highlight of the night. Hm this rhymes.

But of course, the best part of the trip was travelling with my good buddies. I remember once when we were in highschool, Rybo (Ryan then), Carolyn, and I went to Metro. And I had a lot of fun. So I told Carolyn, "we're the best threesome", and thus made her choke. UGH I had no idea what I was talking about. I really think I should go out with my high school folks, cos they're the ones who remind you that you were once creative, ambitious, and full of energy.

And then the parting. Ryan didn't look too pleased when he left that morning. Usually I get really upset when I say goodbye to mum and dad, but this rarely happens with friends. I often say goodbye to friends at school, at the restaurant after a night of partying, knowing that they will return soon. I think this is the first time that I'm saying goodbye to a friend who's leaving the apartment with his baggage. And I'm sad to see my friend leave alone with his baggage. Probably because this is the first time I understand that we've grown up and our lives will begin to take different directions. Most likely we'll be further away from each other. I don't like the sound of this but I think this is life.

On a happy note, I think Carolyn was VERY DELIGHTED that we've finally left her alone lol. Or else we'd be taking her to to the ER very soon if we stick around any longer lol.

So I returned Monday evening, and had McDonald's for Thanksgiving dinner. I almost forgot that it was Thanksgiving. But that evening, I used my remaining energy while on bed, to thank God of this unforgettable experience I had in Montréal, and prayed that I'll remember it forever.
