I may b a wee bit late updating on my new year. Yep, new year, new beginning. It was gloomy for a start, since I hv nvr like winter. True.. It is making me home sick more & more. But I tried making my days wonderful everyday. Making new friends. Venturing new places. Trying new food. :D
I thot it would be difficult to find halal food here. I was wrong. It's everywhere, especially in Mississagua! Where u can find more than 20 mosques around. (As told by the residence here, for I hv yet to explore, which I'm in Brampton now, an hr drive btw)
I had "mee goreng mamak" when I 1st arrived! I think it was from Salt & Pepper if i am not mistaken. Infact, Popeyes are halal. Nandos too!
It's my 3rd week here now. And I had been to 2 gatherings in Brampton. Met fellow Singaporean and Malaysian that had settled down in Canada.
My former English teacher back in Singapore, sir Taib & family. It was an avalanche when I 1st arrived.
Snows melting & we had a sunny weekends. So it was a great time to go out.
I took the bus rides around the area. I got lost at times, but not being panicky, I took any buses that goes to any places that might sounds familiar to me and ended up at some good places to shop or dine or just being curious and excited over everything.
The good thing bout the fare is, we pay $3.25 or buy the bus tkt/token on the bus itself or via counter at the terminal, or by PRESTO card, thats their "ezlink" term, and the fare will expire by 2hrs. So within that 2hrs, u can alight and board and alight and board over and over again on any other buses without having to pay again, up to 2hrs that is. So aft 2hrs, u will then need to pay a new fare, if u are required to take the next bus to ur next destination. Well, it may not sounds as good if u are only traveling a stop away coz $3.25 is expensive.
So grab a Presto card, U'll pay lesser.
Annnniway.. I had to make sure that I'll be home before it gets dark at 4:30pm.
