capital ex recap

(btw, click pictures for BIGGER view, i didn't resize this time)
OMG! i'm sitting in my room, and i'm sweating;; lol that's kinda gross but anyhow.

today, i did nothing. my brother came into my room around 1pm and said "you're still asleep?!" lol. cuz usually i'm up before him. hahaha. but i was exhausted, and felt like i was half asleep all night, with my crazy adventure dreams. i think i had a little too much capital ex last night.

my dream had lions, with ej, andi, and myself searching for them. and we had to swim through a swamp (i think was suppose to relate to the niagara falls), anyway when we got to the white lion (after climbing in and out of buildings), it was a FAKE ! lol -___- . all our wasted effort. good thing it was only a dream.
anyhows... to recap...

wednesday night - MJ night
it was a great gathering, good times, it's been awhile. apparently i was winning a lot (; but it was all just friendly play lol. but it still felt nice to be winning. there was some ps3 going on when damien came, and some UFC, but not a lot.
then just chilled with jien while he shopped for his iphone screen cover thing. n watched videos of reviews of the product. to find out in the end, shipping was expensive ! so mel's gonna run his errand to the store and pick it up.

jae jae was growling n stuff, i think he wanted to get back onto the bed where i was sitting. so after jien put him back on the bed, he was fine and snoozed away (; kute.
to conclude, i was scoping out jien's dvd/book stash which consisted of heroes, the hills, twilight books, and a boys over flower dvd ! which he recommended, so i borrowed it.

thursday morning... woke up, did the usual - ate while watching burning flames episode. then proceeded to watch boys over flowers final dvd. T_T it was so touching. it was so good. i loved it

"sharing all the bad stuff make it only half as bad, but sharing the good stuff makes it twice as good." - said Tsukushi

i think i should rewatch it again ! anyway that ended my morning & before i knew it, i was hurrying off to capital ex ! exciting !!!

it was slow on the way there, we parked at rexall, and headed inside to check out the exhibits first, since it was scorching outside. the first exhibit was the aboriginal one / the butterfly spirit thing. andi & I were tempted, yet scared at the same time... bug-uphobia. lol

ANYWAY, we sucked it up and decided to check it out. so paying our $3, we followed the bunch of kiddies inside. walking around a bit, we finally caught some butterflies. it's a tingling sensation, but they sit pretty still. there were kids with butterflies all over their body. but here are some of the ones we caught. some were blue! but their wings were closed when we had them x(

then i saw this lady ... n just had to get a picture of her baby & butterfly lol !!!

all in all it was a good experience, and I WOULD DEFINITELY GO AGAIN ! though, it was kinda sad when you saw some butterflies trampled on the ground =(

next off, we headed into the global market connections one? or well the one where they sold infomercial products & food. i was hungry but din't get anything yet. anyway there were earrings 4 for $10, so we split, i got 2 pairs. teehee mickey mousey (:

quickly finishing our rounds there, we headed to the international exhibit, which this year they had the egypt and king tut stuff. so here are some of the statues that were not in the boxes. totally reminds me of the indiana jones movie.

deciding that we'd skip out on the shanghai circus thing, since we seen it already (but i wanted a picture with them - oh wells). we headed on outside into the sun.

EJ: it's not that hot anymore...
Viv: yea... looks around... or maybe cuz we're in the shade... *walks out a bit more*
EJ: yea LOl, we were in the shade. it's hot now. HAHAHA

anyway, i was starving, so i suggested we split some texas taters, cuz they were good, i insisted that they had to try some. so we got a regular and stuffed ourselves. (: we walked the grounds heading towards ED Fest, along the way, we tried the bottle game... it's hard... =( lol . i wanted a hello kitty. but i was kinda lazy for the games. we watched some ppl play though.
anyway, we were at the end of the road by ED Fest, and beer gardens was packed. Our Lady Peace was playing that day. oh on our walk, we passed by the amazing sand sculptures.

growing hungry again, i got a corn dog, and andi got a pizza. EJ wasn't hungry yet. anyway... after sitting down, resting, eating our food... we decided to go to the kids zone so EJ could see the lions. i wanted to see them too. we trekked over there, and then were disappointed to find out that ... the show was over and the lions were all caged up so u couldn't really see. EJ really wanted to see the white lion. it was cool, u could KINDA see it.. not really =( . too bads.

then we bumped into emily there !!! she was here for Our Lady Peace, i miss her !!! anyway, after she left, i was like DARN why din't i take a pic with her -__-. see her like once in a blue moon.

oh well. after watching the lions, we had like 2 hours or more to waste before fireworks started, so we decided to go on some rides ! EJ and I went on the swing tower, it was a very short ride -__- too bad. it was nice up high.

nobody wanted to go on mega drop with me, cuz they were both scared of heights. but i convinced andi (who was wearing a white dress) to go on niagara falls with me. we had to wait a long time because it broke down for awhile, cuz stupid ppl were splashing too much water with their hands. but all good. we got to go on it (; it was awesome. tho i wish i got wetter lol.

EJ & Andi have the pictures for the rides... cuz i was on both of them .. all the lining up and waiting, took up all our time, and eventually we got on the ferris wheel. let me tell you ANDI is very scared of heights. so yea ... she was clinging onto us for dear life.
n we were riding with two other boys, and they were like "what if we shook it?"
andi: PLEASE DON'T > <

teehee. awh poor andi, but hey SHE SURVIVED (; glad to have shared a first time experience with her, even if she thought it was the worst idea ever. lol

i loved the view up there. finally, the end of the night, we made our way to the horse racing track place and staked out a spot to watch the fireworks. i have no photography skills, and my camera was low batt, so it was being very slow. here are my squiggly fireworks > <

we wanted to go dream tea after fireworks, thinking it closes at 1am, but we had to buy my brother mini donuts first. so we squished into the line and got our donuts. that EJ liked !
EJ: i trust you on food now vivian. texas taters & mini donuts! mmm

anyway, after we left capital ex and was at dream tea by 1220, only to see that it was closed =( sadly. anyway, now we know what time it opens/closes. lol so i guess we'll just have to go next time. darn.

i was darn drained when i got home, hence no posting till today. and hence this was my day today, editing pictures & posting.

i have to go temple later. so before i get in trouble for being lazy at home... which my mom already was calling me already. GTG !
...ttyl all...
