Canada 14 - 20 October 2007

was in calgary, canada to attend a course. This is the first time i'm stepping on US and Canada soil. all along i dun fancy having a holiday in US or Canada as i find that there are some communication barriers (inside me)... or mayb it's juz that my personal feelings of ...... (ha ha ha...)anyway, the place i went to was a town known as medicine hat. did i juz said town? fyi, the town itseld is much bigger than the island of singapore. really couldn't get used to their life there esp when it comes to food.. the most frustrated thing was we couldn't find hiam jio (chilli)!!! everywhere we go eat, only ketchup ketchup and more ketchup!!! sian half aledi.. everyday eat burger till sianz.. worst of all, during training, our lunch oso burger and pizza.. and mind you! it's cold not warm meals... our lunch were taken out from the fridge.. really suffering.. didn't expect course to start early every morning. gotta wake up at 0545hrs then go breakfast and then the trainers will come pick us up at 0700hrs sharp!!! the last day of course, we wanted to try the much talked about steak at a steakhouse known as "Beefeater".. we braved the coldness (5 degrees), walked from hotel to steakhouse which was about half an hour walk. we were damn f%*&ing happy dat we found the place but the restaurant running on full house. we ended up eating western food.. haiz.. btw, one funny thing we observed, we weren't able to flag a cab on the street like what we do in sg.. gotta get the eating place waitress to help us phone for a cab... we decided to take a cab back as the temperature was dropping and it will be very chilling to walk back to hotel..in a nutshell, the trip was quite a pleasant one.. will post some pics which i took in canada and LA....
