Jacey & Mike came up to Toronto on Family Day, a provincial state holiday in Ontario. It was the first time I enjoyed this holiday in Canada as it always falls on Reading Week, so it was a default holiday in school anyways. We made a trip to Congee Queen on Don Mills and more than satisfying quantity of food. Hendry ordered some Siu Yok, well, something I always have at Chinese New Year when at home in Malaysia.
I had to order Cantonese Chow Mein which reminded me of my cousin's cantonese fried noodles. Siu Hao knew how to cook up a delicious dish of Cantonese Fried Noodles every CNY. Claus said to me in our conversation when he picked me up, that this is my chinese new year meal! Haha.
Being the year of the Tiger, I thought it was funny how we saw a Tiger Woods look alike in the Congee, sporting a plain black long sleeved tee, and a white nike golf cap almost. The resemblance was very resembling. I saw him, and the rest urged me to take a photo of him. Claus said "its the Chinese version of Tiger Woods"
After Lunch, we headed to Hendry and Jane's where we played Risk. Prior to that, I tested our Jane's valentine's present to Hendry, the $180 Razer Mamba Mouse. Most expensive mouse I've ever used. A very gamer friend mouse, the mouse features programmable buttons for hardcore games for the hardcore gamer. All I did was farmville, a simple flash game.
I haven't played six player risk in a while. For once we had all six players played my risk set. Mike, Jace, Hendry, Jane, Claus and I. It was pretty intense. First game was a draw between Jacey, Hendry and Jane.
We later had dinner break and went down to Yonge St at the Owl of Minerva for Pork Bone Soup. To treat myself this Chinese New Year, I got myself a Hite Beer. Korean made and imported from Seoul, its a smooth beer, very enjoyable and worth the $4.
We had the usual Gamjatang, and returned to Hendry's for round 2 at Risk. The next winner was Jane. And we stopped game at 12:30. And Hendry, Jane and I had to go to work the next day. It was fun, eat, play, eat play, sleep.
And this morning, I woke up to the real world.

on a side note, I finally saw Land of the Lost. It wasn't the best film but I had wanted to watch it last summer, but I'm glad i watched it at home. Two reasons to watch it? Anna Friel and Will Ferrell. Anna's definitely one of my favorite british actresses since watching Goal.
