vancouver's bc ferries 3:32 AMThe last time I saw cars aboard ferries was in Delaware in the US. Tuesday morning in Vancouver, we tried it first-hand for ourselves on the BC Ferries!
We rose bright and early to collect our rented car and embark on the road trip towards Vancouver Island. Well, actually only I awoke early because I call home every night these days (Singapore timing), which is really early morning in Vancouver. It seems that because of this, I always voluntarily become the alarm clock for my travelling partners, haha.
Anyhow, we were really excited knowing that the car was really new and very spacious. Js was perhaps the only one who worried since it was very wide, making turning radii hard to maneuver at times. But the journey was smooth and safe though he was not used to keeping to the RHS initially (we made a couple of turns into the wrong lane but fortunately there were no oncoming cars)! But it was all under control cos I was beside him and constantly on the alert as well. Anyway, I was also entrusted with the task of map-reader for the trip, whose skills impressed both driver and passengers at the end of the day! :)
Wall of fame shots of the day!
This is me happily munching on a nice big 7-eleven banana (69 cents each!) in the morning..

Our shiny red car! Car registration plates read "Beautiful British Columbia" in BC.
Breakfast at The Templeton - apparently the best breakfast in downtown Vancouver. Its interior is akin to that of Billy Bomber's, and tables are decorated with lots of pop-art postcards beneath the glass (Chris, I took this picture for you!)
That's stated as "hot chocolate with REAL whipped cream" on the menu, and Hui Lin's pretending to look horrified by my licking the cream!
The BC Ferry. Winds are really strong and cold up on the sundeck - and that's a very powerful local who managed to catch us in action during our jump!

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
