Saturday

I woke up at 4 AM and left at 8 AM going to Toronto. One hour bus ride to Ajax then another hour by train to TO. Had a breakfast sandwich at Tims corner of Yonge and College. Then I checked out some shops. Nothing cheap eh on this part of Canada.

Visited a Chapter store, and lo and behold, no Kobo Vox in sight. Bummer. Then proceeded at a Swatch kiosk. Watches look cheap but price are otherwise. Nothing shocking earth shaking on these watches' design nowadays. But to be fair I like 3 of them. One is the metal black watch with skull on the dial, then a plastic watch with see-through case and melting design on the dial, and the last one a plastic watch with a see-through light pink case with a cat on the dial. The rest of the new lines are dead cheap looking or trying hard to be a piece of art or to look cool at least to the youngsters.

At around noon I took the subway to Pape. I sent my monthly obligation to my wife. God knows that that is my food money. I can't touch my tuition and rent money, so I starve myself, and while doing so do my PhD. That's life for me. Noodles and sardines. It pains me to hear my wife saying that the amount I'm sending is not enough. Though I know it wasn't her but her Mom who's living with them now. That bitch!

Anyways, next stop is the new Lego store at Fairview mall. This is how I maximize my day pass and train fares. I bought the minifig ice tray, a discounted ref magnet, and two HP magnet sets that the store staff said are not glued. Then Hollister has a 40% off promo on discounted items. I wasted another 20 bucks, damn!

Then the last stop to my sister-in-law at Scarborough to pick my letters up. I got some coupons and a refund cheque. Not bad. Plus they're having a Haloween party (Read: FOOD)! It's like a light in a tiring tunnel. Baked salmon. Heaven on earth.

Now I just missed the hourly train by 5 minutes. I don't mind waiting early. Rather than rushing in the cold. Temperature is now hitting single digits. Winter us just around the corner, waiting for me to buy to cheap boots to survive its cold.
