Life 1: part 1 of my life so far.

Hey there,

Well as most of you know I came here to Canada on the 11th November 2007. Been 24 agonising hours from Brunei to Hong Kong to Vancouver to Edmonton, but the flight from Vancouver to Edmonton was being delayed for almost 3 hrs and partly of it thanks to a customer and his pet. Was so tired when I arrived. For the next few days slept late at night but always woke up at around 5 in the morning, slowly returned back to the normal time. Then, for the rest of the 2 months before school starts just help my uncle with work but about 2 weeks after I went to Jasper to help delivery some things and its an agonising 8 hour going and coming back from Jasper, but it is enjoyable nonetheless.

And of course got my orientation on d 15th December and after that start helping my uncles to renovate house which my brother is currently living which I'll soon be moving there. We renovate 7 days a week 8 hrs a day only resting for lunch and tea.

After about two weeks, me and my uncles went down to Prince George, B.C. to pick up a jeep. We flew down in an private jet plane. My brother drives us to the executive airport that morning. We just sat outside until one of the workers ask us to go into the executive lounge to wait for our plane, as usual the flight got delayed again due to the pilot pick up 1 passenger from Fort Mcmurray which for a bad weather which causes the delay. And off we went for abt an hour on the plane, inside the plane u can hear the propellers of the plane very loudly until even after we landed we can still hear the voice. When we wanted to enter the airport the stupid security old guy doesn't let us in n ask us to use the side gate which had abt knee lenght high of snow, but the gate was lock so we went to another area where we can't find the way out and luckily this nice guy lead us out and we went back inside the airport to wait for the guy from the dealer ship to pick us up. He pick us up using the new jeep, the space to enter the car from the back door was so low I bump my head mostly everytime I enter or get out of the car. The drive back was more then 10 hours, slept most of the time. It was a nice trip, tho the car aint so nice.

During christmas receive an 80GB iPod hehe, now i can't live without it as it's boring in the bus without music. And of course it's New Year just stay at home the previous night and had bailey's + egg nog hehe which is nice haha.

Finally the time comes 7th January 2008, I woke up at 5am that day to shower eat and prepare. Walk about 5 mins to the bus stop which is arrives at 6.10am to Mill Woods town centre at about 6.25am which I have to take another bus to my school at NAIT. Which happens to be my regular routine for every monday, wednesday and friday as my classes starts at 8am. But for tuesday and thursday, my classes starts in the afternoon but I woke up at 7am to get prepared and at 8.30am I follow my aunt car to the Millwoods town centre's bus station after she send my causin to school. Met a few friends that day which later on became quite close.

The weather was slowly getting colder and colder as each day passes. As it nears the end of Jan it's one of the coldest weeks, wore 2 layers of t-shirt + a winter coat everyday.

well that's about it for the first 3 months of my life here. Pictures will soon be added
