The time was 10:36am. Sunlight poured into my room through whatever gaps the pillows (that I put up to cover the window, so I can sleep a little bit later) left. It was at this time I received a phone call. In my mind I thought it was only a little bit past 10 o clock simply because I was supposed to wake early to give a call and wake ecafoop! for an adventure. When I picked up the phone, I came to the sad realization that it was not I who woke ecafoop!, but instead, the other way around. It was then that I became aware of the lateness that shrouded my drowsy eyes.~
How’s that for a fancy prelude to the story?
So after waking up I made myself a nice sandwich before heading out the house. Loads of ham between two slightly toasted pieces of bread. I even put them standing up after toasting so that they wont be soggy. Then I got another phone call from some telemarketer letting me know that I just won a free cruise ticket. After hanging up halfway through the call, I looked at the clock and found that I was late and I left quickly. All this happened with the sandwich, all lonely on the kitchen counter shouting “a! bring me with you!”.
As I moseyed out, I finally remembered the sandwich and had to stop by McDonalds for two McDoubles. (Note: Did you know that McDoubles and Double Cheeseburgers are not the same thing? McDoubles are on the value menu whilst the Double Cheeseburgers with an extra half slice of processed cheese cost more? Now back to the story.) As I took the SkyTrain towards downtown, I was reading my boring book for school while listening to some Christmas music. What a difference that music made! Saved me from falling asleep while reading that horrid grey book (A book for school). Once I reached downtown, I waited at the terminus station a little bit for ecafoop! and continued reading. Nearing the end of a chapter during my reading, an older Asian couple approached me. The old man asked me if I knew how to get to Richmond. Being able to understand their foreign dialect, I responded in English with all the directions required. He then smiled at me (the old lady behind him smiled at me as well), nodded, and repeated his question again. This was went it struck me; He did not know how to speak English. After figuring this out, I walked them down to the SkyTrain stop where they needed to go and bid them a quiet farewell.
When I came back up the stairs from the SkyTrain platform, I planned on going back to my seat on the bench, to wait for ecafoop!. The moment I sat down again, she showed up, and thus the adventure began.
This adventure consisted of :
1 university campus(Much smaller than I thought it would be, but at least it’s somewhere in downtown(sounds kinda fancy))
2 cups of chocolate (I don’t say hot because it got pretty cold after a while )
2 rides on the SeaBus (This may very well be the first time since I’ve been living where I am for a large portion of my life)
1 really cold day (The culprit behind the cooling of the previous hot chocolate, also found accountable for my cold ears)
1 confused message (My mother called to see what I was doing and I told her I wanted to study a bit more before I get home. More or less I sounded like a politician. She asked about what I was doing, I told her what I was going to be doing. ecafoop! does not agree to this.)
1 walk in the park (It was really dark by the time we got there, but we decided to take a nice walk anyways. About a quarter of the way in, the sky seemed as if the sun vanished. So dark. Being in the cold, with lots of trees around didn’t help too much. The result? We turned around and left the same way we came from.)
1 wanting to step on thin ice (Some place left the fountain on, and there was a sheet of ice. I really wanted to step atop it. Decided to touch with finger to see if it was hard enough. Glad ecafoop! stopped me or my finger might’ve gotten stuck on the sheet of ice.)
1 hiding in a small building in a park (Too cold, so we needed a rest stop. There were stairs that led to I don’t no where, did not really want to get lost. Possibly a parking lot, but does a children’s play park really need an underground parking lot?)
1 ride on the bus (Funny story! ecafoop! couldn’t find her bus pass, so when she did, the bus driver used the lanyard and put it around her neck as if she was to receive a medal. Hahaha!)
1 HMV (Found the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I might like to read that later on. Whenever there is a classic mixed with zombies, funniness is sure to follow.)
1 ride on the SkyTrain (Almost missed the stop. Luckily ecafoop! didn’t notice this happening. All is well.)

So that pretty much was a quick summary of the adventure. Oh and as for the title, there’s no need for explanation right? Just another bad post naming scheme as always. (In case you don’t get it though(Or so I feel really clever), it was a nice day, and it was cold. So cold that there was ice. I know I’m clever, no need to compliment me.)
Have a great time chillin’ (see I did it again, I’m just so clever),
a!
