Well on Monday (2 days ago). I went to Surrey to Register the kids with their new school. I had planned to also take some printed resumes around at the same time to apply for work in the area (Any work would do).

I got on the bus at 8:30, when My big brother drove up to give me the kid’s Philippine birth certificates. I was surprised as I didn’t think I’d need them as I had their Chinese birth certificates & their Canadian Citizenship papers. But that was cool still.

I took Tonfino Bus to Departure Bay (Nanaimo), transferred to the Ferry to Horseshoe bay. Arrived at Horseshoe bay at 12:45. Transferred to City Bus to Downtown Van then to Skytrain to Surrey.

I got to the new apartment at 2:15, to pick up our Lease agreement, and then made it to the School by 2:30.

I am so glad they were helpful because they had officially stopped receiving registration at 2:00. (every day 10:00~2:00). but when they heard that I’d come all that way just for this, they helped me out. it took about an hour to fill out and photocopy all the kids paperwork (And they preferred the Philippine birth certificate over the Chinese one as it was easier to read. ^_^)

That being Done I realized I would have no time to apply for work as I had about 90minutes to get back to departure bay and it would take about that time to get there. Then the sky train kept stopping mid track to wait for the train ahead of it…. I got on the Bus from downtown late, and I was certain that I was going to miss my ferry and thus miss the last bus back to Port Alberni….

Luck was on my side I arrived at Horseshoe Bay at 5:30 The ferry normally leaves at 5:25, but because it was late they were rushing the sales of the tickets on it so people like me could get one it. YAY!

The rest of the day was alright.

Sammy got this package from the school marked “Welcome to Kindergarten” it has crayons, pencils story books, paper, and other cool goodies.

Irish hid it until we are moved.
