Left KL at 9.30am. Travelled 23 hours to reach Toronto at 8.30pm. On the same day. No sleep at all cos seats can’t recline. Robert picked us up and we headed home. Slept 6 hrs straight.
28 Aug (Sun)
Woke up in Toronto. 20 deg C. Very strong winds so very cold! Visited the freshwater seaside at Lake Ontario. Big lake looks more like sea! Then visited Twyn River Creek after some mini woods trekking. No sweaty feeling!!
29 Aug (Mon)
Woke up to 15 deg C. Brought jackets out but not too cold cos wind not so strong. Went to pick up rented truck wt Robert. Shocked to see a 25 footer truck the size of a bus! R drove it to an open parking lot to practice parking wt Jan n I as navigator! Haha… Imagine how tensed we were :-p Loaded truck with 7×900 pounds of 10″x5″ of dance floor boards. Tricky to get all into the truck but wt Jan’s packing skills, we managed! Drove 1 hr to Burlington. Prob starts with unloading!! Robert gets no help from 2 damsels. Luckily 2 hotel guys helped to unload. Rushed back to Scarborough as Christina has invited us for D&D at a Chinese restaurant. Asian line dancers started coming in and filled up the place! They danced to new n old dances and to dances choreographed by Malaysians n Singaporeans! Felt very proud of our choreographers! Taught Hey Ladies and they absolutely loved it. Think they danced it more than 5 times and requested that I teach the styling too. Amazing!!!
