Le Tour De Alberta - Part 1



Canada was great, well except for the chilling and freezing weather. yup, i went to Canada, Alberta to be precise. it was snowing when we get to Fort McMurray (that is where Lee San is staying). love snow though but hate it when the wind started blowing. grrrrr...

well it was a really last minute kinda thing. since my plan to Australia has been cancelled...again and i really need to go somewhere (i’m not going to waste my 10 days off doin nothing, right??), so it’s either Denmark (bro’s there) or Canada (Lee San’s there). i called Lee San and told her about my plan and she was all excited, giving me tonnes of reasons why i should choose Canada. part of it, she’s goin to pay for all the expenses; food, hotel etc etc. all i need to do is to get the tickets and get my ass there. hey, wat a deal eh. so there you have it, i chose Canada in the end. sorry bro, i’ll go visit you next time, ok?

so last minute plan, everything was quite in a mess with no proper planning. i got my visa done on the 12th March for RM250. changed a lil Canadian Dollar and US Dollar, and started packing a lil for my Dubai and Canada trip. yup, company sent me to Dubai for a week, from 13th-19th March. once i’ve reached KLIA on 19th morning, i went to the ticketing office to get my tickets issued;

19th March (Kuala Lumpur/London)
MH 2 KUL/LHR with MAS (ya you read it right, i just arrived on 19th morning and departed on 19th evening. imagine how tiring i was. doesn’t matter coz i slept thru the entire flight..hehe)
20th March (London/Calgary)
AC 851 LHR/YYC with Air Canada (i was on transit in Heathrow for freaking 7 hours ok!! blardy hell!!)
26th March (Fort McMurray/Toronto)
AC 1198 YYC/YYZ with Air Canada
26th March (Toronto/London)
AC 856 YYZ/LHR with Air Canada
27th March (London/Kuala Lumpur)
MH 3 LHR/KUL with MAS

pheww...it’s not easy to travel from KL to Canada. no direct flights from KL, no connecting flights/codeshare with MAS and worst of all, long flight time and i'm on standby tickets. KL to London takes around 12-13hours, transit for 7 hours, London to Calgary takes around 9 hours. you do the math. backside flat flat di.



as i’ve mentioned earlier, Lee San is staying and working in Fort McMurray, north of Alberta. she told me to get to Calgary, south of Alberta as that will be our starting point to kick start our Le Tour De Alberta. from there, we headed north to Banff, Edmonton, and finally Fort Mc.fyi, she has to drive for 8 hours from Fort Mc to Calgary. holy moly...she’s crazy. she does that quite often especially on weekends just to find her friends in Calgary. one word: SIAO!!

landed at Calgary Airport on 20th March, was welcomed by Lee San and her white Explorer. so cool!! first stop, a pub downtown. -_-" she’s still the same old kaki-minum Lee San. had a drink first before meeting her friends for dinner. we had dinner in another pub and there, they were drinking, again. warming up konon. the gals had the entire night planned out for me. after dinner we went to see strippers and throw loonies. loonie is a dollar in Canada.

note: this is in that particular strip club i went to, couldn’t remember the name though, guess it’ll be different everywhere. so one of them, she’s called the queen of piercing or something like that coz she has tonnes of piercing on her body. piercing on the ears, face, boobies...that’s pretty common. BUT...jeng jeng jeng...she actually has 7 piercing on her genital area. \(@.@)/ holy cow!!! i wonder how she did that. nvm, so she came out and stripped and she went around asking whether you wanted to throw loonies. if you’re interested, she’ll lay down on her back, legs up and wide open and she’ll hold a folded poster in between her legs, and ya, all you gotta do is to aim and throw loonies in there. then you get to choose either to have a keychain, magnet or a poster of her. i got to throw loonies...wheee...and i was pretty good. haha.. 3 out of 4 of the loonies that i threw got in and i got a poster. had her signed for me and i gave it to Mary, one of Lee San’s friend, who is a lesbian. fyi, all her friends in Calgary are gays. \(@.@)/

then there’s the other gal who will rub herself with lotions and she’ll stick one loonie on each of her boobies, and you’ll have to aim and hit the loonies on her boobies. if u hit both down, then you’ll get a t-shirt with her face imprinted on the back of the shirt. haha...only ham sap lou wants that shirt. tsk tsk...

after strippers, we went to gay bar. -_-! i know, wat’s with that man. but i just followed the crowd. the bar closed at around 2 and her friends went to another gay club, Lee San and i went back to the hotel as i was drained out. there you have it, my first night in Calgary.
