Homecoming and Dessert

Terry is coming home today! =D

I woke up at 6:30 am this morning because I had to drive Tina to an animal hospital where she has work experience. After I dropped her off at the hospital, I drove to Blockbuster to return the movies that I rented on Saturday. I only watched two of the four movies that I rented because I didn't have time to watch the other two. The two that I did get to see were Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet and Calendar Girls. They were both pretty good movies. The other two that I rented were 50 First Dates and Along Came Polly. I didn't feel like watching the other two so it didn't matter if I returned them without seeing them. Although Blockbuster has a larger collection of movies, I still prefer Rogers Video because they allow you to keep the movies longer. At Blockbuster, you need to return the dvds and videos by 10:00 am on the designated day. Rogers, on the otherhand, require you to return their movies by 11:00 pm on the day they are due.

I spent the afternoon doing chores yesterday. The house was pretty dirty so I vacuumed and mopped the floor. I also dusted the living room and everybody's rooms including mine. My mom, sister and I drove to English Bay after dinner last night. Because it was a Sunday night, it was difficult to find a parking space. English Bay is usually very busy during the weekend and last night was no exception. I spent an hour looking for a parking space before we finally found one near True Confections. We initially planned to get some gelato at Mondo Gelato, but we decided to have dessert at True Confections instead because it was near where we parked. Tina had strawberry shortcake while I had dark chocolate Belgian mousse cake and a cup of Floral Jasmine tea from T, a tea company based in Vancouver. My mom didn't order anything because she preferred to share with us instead. The cakes tasted much better than the ones we had at True Confections in the West End. It wasn't too sweet and sugary. Even my mom liked the cakes as Chinese people generally do not have a fondness for sugary foods.
