Highlight of the day: I received a delightful phone call from Sue in Orlando. I found another Kuchingnite here! Turns out we share the same mutual friends back home. Thanks to the cooknengr for getting us acquainted as well. It wouldn't be fair not to mention the "link". Must give credit to this very "gau" fellow *lol*.

Heading North

8 months to November. My Jersey Life's calendar suggests a possible road trip to Canada. This time for a destination wedding. Maybe we will do Montreal first (never been there) and then drive down to Toronto. This will be our second destination wedding since our desert-filled, fun Vegas experience last summer.

Look who's getting hitch end of this year...

These two cuties: Andrei & Gracie

The bride-to-be is my third cousin on the maternal side. Coincidentally, Gracie's big brother is Adrian's former schoolmate at St. Joseph, Kuching. Alex and Adrian hasn't seen each for 15 years! It would be an awesome reunion for the AAs during the wedding.

Toronto, Ontario

It has been almost 2 years since our last road trip to Canada. We stopped by Niagara Falls for a while to soak-in one of the wonders of the world. Yup, we had a mini shower there. Never underestimate the power of water. A hydro-power electricity producing one, that is!

The Falls at first sight

Maid of the Mist going towards the Falls

Just before the plunge!

CN Tower, world's tallest free standing structure on land

Posing with Mr. Moose at CN

This is the the Glass Floor for you to look down below. It can withstand the weight of 14 adult hippos. Funny how that fact didn't seem to allay my FEAR. Look down, you say?!!

Faking my smile while trying hard not to break out in sweat

But the view from the Skypod is really breath-taking.

Lake Ontario

The Marina

Something is missing here. I haven't mentioned about food. Our cheapie hostel is only 5 minutes away from Toronto's Chinatown. So off we went to fill our hungry bellies.

Vietnamese summer roll

Beef bun - this is the thing I was referring to in my previous entry. My addiction.

Vietnamese spicy pork leg & beef noodle soup - really good!!!

Time for some animal/nature pictures...

Riverdale Farm in Cabbagetown, Toronto is indeed a farm within the City.

Mister Ed??

Funny how that Mister Ed song immediately came to my mind:
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course, That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed!

Damn! They're so lazy, rolling about in the mud.

His Moo-iness enjoying his grass. No pun intended!

My Ah Kong's (Grandpa) pet-hate, u-huh!

Hello dollies! No rear shots this time *wink*

Hello Kitty..!!

And, CASA LOMA - the estate of the late Sir Henry Pellat; financier, industrialist & military man.

Casa Loma c. 1914

I love gardens & flowers so never pass-up on a photo with the greens :)

And finally, something all Malaysians will appreciate. A Bata shop at Eaton Center, downtown Toronto.

School shoes, anyone?!

I can't wait to write about Montreal but that'll be in November, provided our plans solidify??? We shall see... Meanwhile, time to learn some French phrases.
