Life here is not as exciting as it is in SG
Neither does it have as much ups and downs
But it pleases me
This laid back life
The satisfaction and independence I gained is PRICELESS
I've learned and experienced much more
Very random things about Canada & me
The daily routine

Imagining leaving an open bag of chips and it stays crispy for 3 days
This my dear is how dry Canada's weather is
Try a day without moisturizer and watched how your skin cracked
I had survived years in SG without needing it My current favSephora's body butter, passion fruit and guava
not so absorbing but it smells so good for hours
LILI couldn't stop licking me everytime I applied it
and it leaves my skin smooth and moisturizes

The chapped lips is something I hate most
and most chap sticks leaves a weird plastic taste afterThis one doesn't and its leaves a mentholated tingling sensation
Only thing I hate about this is i had to dig the balm up with my fingers
Currently on my 5th tubTo prevent my ache scars from blackening I had to apply sunblock every time I'm out
especially when Canada is a very sunny placeClarins is not cheap, but
no doubt the best I've usedCards
Left1st- Canada Trust,
my atm card2nd- Shoppers Otimum card,
sorta like Watson where I get my shampoo n stuff3rd- VIP card, 10% off total bill,
a Japaneses buffet restaurant we used to go weekly Right1st- Guess membership card
2nd- Aeroplan,
points accumulation for air tixs & hotels3rd- Sephora
Essentials against the cold
Winter here are much longer
its cold for almost 9 months and warm for only 3
the 3 months of summer and that's allEven at spring 09, it snowed
Imagine snow on April
or the sudden drop to -30 degrees
or the sudden raise to 10 degrees
within the same week
Not impossible but rarelyBad Bad Bad weather
So I need loads and loads of winter wear
Thick or Thin
Checking the weather forecast before I head out have already been a habit
I must say I'm pretty experienced in dressing appropriately & warmly nowThe deadly addiction
Before I knew of "this", I was buying $11 a pack of 25 sticks
after I knew of "this" I was buying imported cigarettes that is NOT illegal
Cheap China Cigarettes 中南海 for $38 a carton
Mild Seven for $65 a carton
Marlboro MENTHOL LIGHTS for $65 a carton
How much isn't in SG? $110+ a carton?
SCREW SG EXTORTING OVERLY PRICED CIGARETTES
The only catch is that there might not always be stock
BUT STILL $65 a carton!!!
