Non-Stop Weekend
Kyle came to visit with his family on Friday and I (including my parents and my sister) have done some kind of "event" with them. Here's what went down this weekend:
Friday:
Kyle calls around 7-ish to tell me he's arrived in Toronto, but I don't pick up my cell because I left it at home and I had to go to the airport to pick up my dad from Montreal.
Btw, the airport lost his luggage...so there was nothing to wash when we got home. We made dinner and my mom and I went to go pick up Kyle so he can sleep over Friday and Saturday night.
Kyle and I watch most of Man in the Iron Mask but John Malkovich was horrible so we stopped about halfway.
Saturday:
Kyle, me and Abby met up with his parents and one brother to go to the Ex. We parked at Finch and took the subway down (they haven't taken the subway in a while or ever). When we get there, we split up and Kyle and I decided to sign up for the Prison Break Challenge. The challenge consisted of going to 6 different tents around the CNE and answer a question about a random primetime Global tv show. There is a chance that you can be chosen to be an instant winner at any of the booths and claim a prize. It also consisted of a draw for $150,000 but you had to go to all 6 tents to be eligible. Well, just to let you know, we did go to all of them, and I was an instant winner at the first tent we went to. I got a 6 GB Sony mp3 player (model NW-A1000)...not sure how much it actually costs yet.
After the fun at the Ex, we met up with my parents at our house to go to a nice Chinese dinner. My dad was the one who really explained all the food to Kyle's parents and brother. I think they liked it which was pretty good. I think there was still a bit of a culture shock for them with the dinner.
After dinner, Kyle, his brother and I go to STC to watch Talladega Nights, it was pretty hilarious except I was already really exhausted from an entire day of walking (and I didn't have coffee to keep me going). I had to drive his brother back to his aunt's place (which was where his parents were staying) and she lived off the 401 a little bit past Yorkdale mall so it was a bit of a drive. On the way back, I find out the 401 ramp was closed for late night construction and I was totally bummed so we didn't get home until around 1:30 am. We both just died on the bed.
Sunday
Wake up early-ish and we head to Ikea to meet up with Kyle's family again to have some $1 breakfast. I bump into Dragonboat people during breakfast but not Kyle's family. We start walking around the displays and we finally meet up with Kyle's parents about 2 hours later. We split up again and meet up at the cash.
I end up buying a bookcase and a nice reading lamp.
I said goodbye to Kyle and his family and they went back up to Wiky.
After they left, the REAL shopping began. My mom, Abby and I went to Staples to do back to school shopping and then went to Pac mall where we got new cell phones for $0 a phone. I got a Sony Ericsson mp3 phone.
It was about 5:30 when we got home and half an hour later we drive off to have dinner with my grandparents. After that, my mom drives my sister back up to Waterloo along with her newly bought bookcase while my dad and I build his/my mom's new bed. Also did the laundry and caulked up this big gap in the living room that we think wasps keep coming into the house from.
My mom gets home around 11:30 and we finally get to sit down and talk.
I just realized I got 2 mp3 phones in 2 days for free (almost). Swweeeet!!1
Back to work tomorrow.
