the very many many pictures (yet again)

i really must refrain myself from this agonising pleasure, haha. whatever happened to developing pictures & putting them into PHYSICAL albums & sticking handwritten captions on them & browsing through them with family & friends over dinner...?

SHUCKS.

im losing track of the days also, im afraid. this was during Canada Day. so July 1st. what ever day that was. a girls-only affair; Mukul headed to a friend's for snooker.

at the very bottom of this structure called CN Tower.

a little orientation, if you may..

a metal-dolphined fountain right outside.

the girl who never fails to amuse us

as 'Mommy' buys entrance tickets.

indeed she can be sucha doll.

but most other times, more like a crazy (Afghani) girl! tee hee.

here's their interesting security procedures.. got air all..

we were like mini king-kongies. hahaas

on top of the Glass Floor, with the grassy patches of Toronto AT YOUR FEET!

she got all clammy-palmed. this pose wld've fooled you!

this ball of wood maintain composure eh..

inside the observatory point *giggles

walking through the rotating sliding door-thingy. very NY apartment. HAH!

lo & behold! the winds turned her into a boeing 747!!!!

and i was holding onto the nearest pillar (as IF!) but windy indeed.

and Life looks so microscopic...

i can NEVER understand these things. like why wld you wanna go so high to view things you pass by on a regular basis? for a FEE at that!

loving the winds

a modest depiction of the winds, i guess.. i was standing still & loving my crocs ;)

someone became a monyet!

making faces cos we dindt wanna go in just yet..

58seconds elevator ride to ground floor. awesomely pekak-ing.

squirrel. macam tak pernah nampak tupai. smart guy only takes FRIES eh.

a downtown Toronto tram.

inseparabel with that Nintendo of hers.

shades & sunroof.

gunned at Playdium, a huge arcae with go-karts all.

their bikes are HEAVIER!

she loves the jet skies..

i rock at ice hockey! best!

alpine skiing.. like reeeeeeal.

PARA-PARA anyone? they only lasted 7 sec, these two! haha

and guess what game we ALL loved..

awesome.

and the day before that we went strawberry-picking!

the only fruit apparently in season. about 40min from home, Springridge Farm.

onto the trolley to the strawberry patches.

the greens also included fields of corn..

such sweetness.

we both did more of munching than of picking. haha. jakunness.

hey, it is hard work you know. and cik tun has an eye for ripeness.

so that we can say, 'we've been there' haha.

band-aided Alisa points to a caterpillar.

getting all down & dirty, netty?

sucha treat!

smthg abt the way we hold those strawberries!

you could have them on your head, too!

cik tun went to unchartered territories, you know. ILLEGAL cos we werent told to pick from that row. but boy were there BIGGER & BETTER berries there! ahahs.

alahmak.. nak aksyen petik gambar, tangan kiri! ALL GOBBLED! pelahap!

will you at that! just look at that!

she happiness with her basket, know..

and ~~black~~ shoes were a mistake.

seriously. HARD WORK. hehe.

then we went arnd the farm..

mmmmmmmmmmkay, if you say so.

for a Quarter, you get a decent amount of animal feed.

yana was SUPER HIGHLY grossed out. very geli lah their lidahs.

hay mazes!

and she DARE complains she's F-A-T. that i cant stand, tau.

dizzy up the girl, you!

while you were sleeping ;)

handsome boy, italian methink.

dared each other to sit on the haystacks. she beat me to it!

when i finally got my butt up. (it was pretty high, know..)

more hay mazes.

aww just love.

blowing dandelions as we went uphill. (all very Anne of Green Gables, doncha think?)

ok i look spastic. shut up.

view from the top.. magnificent subhanAllah..

got a picture of this prettypretty matsaleh girl, Charlotte.

we were there!

milking fake cows, how farm-y can ya get!

from the souvenirs shop. lovely, artful lamp..

a typical scene of their souvenirs shop, anywhere..

i want to own every single thing on this shelf. PLS?

oh and this spiderboy too. ahhas at the pet store in Square One. again, imagine this. while our shopping malls grow vertically, theirs are like huge & wide open space.. roughly single or double storied. and SPRAWLING i tell ya. macam not a 'mall' with my very singaporean mind.

i was thinking of getting those for Kitty or Anis, syg.. BUT i doubt they would last. cats OR furry gloves.

i love this trench coat on her! $19.98 only! but we didnt buy la.

and oooh la la, freshly picked strawberries with vanilla ice cream.

considering all of our 9lbs worth of bright berries, i tell you we be making lotsa ways to have strawberries already. maybe will try berries with pizza or chicken wings! tulah geram geram at teh farm,now we'd brought home wayyyyyyyyy more & cik tun keeps hollering for us to eat em up! but oh boy, a real treat. one of those things you gotta try, ya know?

blessed.

haha.
