Vancouver, BC, Canada • Day 15

08:30 Like an old lady whose time is about to expire, sleeping late and waking early seems the best way to make every moment count. Woke up naturally at this hour, but spent most of it chatting with Kikz. Kikz must have felt guilty of not spending enough time with me, or she just misses me too much, and agreed to come sleepover in my room. I really miss this carefree feeling spent with my dearest sister, although sometimes I wonder, if this feeling is only reserved for those about to leave; those that are nearest are often neglected because they feel more accessible. Life is too short.

Spent some of the hour packing and stuffing away the stuff that I thought would only take minutes last night.

10:18 Haven’t woken up this early during the whole two weeks, and got to say Good Morning to everyone and have breakfast together. I’m just as guilty of this “last chance” feeling. Auntie made blueberry smoothie for us, topped up with lots of blueberries. There was also toast and sausages, melon; an all-round appealing home made breakfast. To仔, Jo, Molly, Uncle joined us too. Or in their perspective, I finally joined them, haha.

11:53 Went up to grab our luggages to find our plane was delayed. And like all “last minute” people, I went back to slowly clear up the last of things and checked my documents. So once again, we didn’t leave till last minute.

 

12:19 伯娘 got us to the airport with time to spare. Bye bye Kelly and 伯娘, it was an amazing trip!

12:59 Checked in and having our last timmies, got an Ice Capp (although I was feeling a tad chilly) and a Chocolate dip donut, since they were out of Maple dip. The target was we wanted to buy the red and white 150 year celebration Canada mug, which we saw on the first day of our trip, and not since then, still didn’t now, aww.

13:10 YVR Airport. Walking around and appreciating this airport.
Hudson News. Post cards, $2.99. Just to keep up with
$6.07 Bought some Dasani water and Minute Maid grapefruit juice (heh, at least this one doesn’t say preservatives-free).

13:40 Never noticed these tiny totem poles in YVR, definitely should come by more,

14:18 No wonder we couldn’t get nice seats despite checking in online, there were crowds at the gate and once again we’re almost the last to board the plane.

14:55 Take off. Au Revoir Canada~

15:09 Beauty and the Beast. Been meaning to watch this classic remade since the day it was out, but Kinhi didn’t, at least not paying at the big screen. So what better than to watch during flights, haha. Just couldn’t belt out “tale as old as time~~~♪

15:38 Chicken meal with apple juice
Appetizer: Green bean, tomato and cabbage salad
Main course: each meal is served with bread and butter
Fried seasoned pork with honey and sesame sauce, steamed rice and carrots
Honey pepper chicken served with pasta and mixed vegetables

17:33 Lego Batman. A story of a lego-sized expressions-animated Batman, proud loner, denies Joker as his “worst enemy” causing him to bring on hordes of notorious villains such as Lord Voldemort, Sauron, King Kong, The Kraken, Jaws, Agent Smith, Dracula, Medusa, Wicked Witch of the West, etc. out of Phantom Zone to Arkham. Batman finally joins forces with Barbara, commissioner Jim Gordon’s daughter, and Dick, Bruce Wayne’s adoption, and good defeats evil, and Batman learns to care for those close to him.

19:19 Jack Reacher.

20:42 Pasta meal with orange juice

21:38 John Wick 1 & 2. Starring Keanu Reeves as an ex-hitman known as “baba yaga” who comes out of retirement and marriage (從出江湖) to avenge his stolen car and killed puppy, a gift from his recently deceased wife. A movie of excess killing and where everyone in this universe is related to an underground crime lord or a is a hitman for one. Naturally we went on to watch the sequel, where John Wick is called out to fulfill his agreement of killing more people. Um yeah, that about sums it up XD. I guess it doesn’t help I dozed off in between. For once Kinhi is wide awake watching movies, teehee.
Minions. On their search for the biggest and baddest villain to serve. It’s another rewatch, so I can’t say I was entirely there.

Snack of sandwich and biscuits.

03:05 Back in Hong Kong. Can’t help but feel just that little bit depressed. I miss home, my life back in Canada, my sister and friends. I miss what could have been.
