Week Recap

  • Furnace broke and shopping for a new one is not fun, with prices starting at $3000+
  • Dad was here for 1 day on Business trip before he flys out again
  • I am starting to play Wii Fit for 1 hour daily, exercising and losing weight! Wendy joins me too ^_^
  • Started watching the new Taiwan drama - Rookie's Diary (新兵日記). 8 hours of Sunday for 8 episodes!
  • I managed to buy the Virgin America 2-for-1 voucher before they got deleted by eBay ($10) trying to book Toronto - LAX flights for half-price
    • BUT, prices increased by $100 total before I could book my trip to LA, ARGH!!! I hate this
    • With the price increase, I decided to boycott Virgin on the way there (Sat morning) so I booked AA instead with Friday night departure for extra $30/person
    • Return is still with Virgin ($188 USD for 2) and land in Toronto early morning for me to work :)
    • Total:
      • Aug 21 2 am = $472 usd for 2
      • Aug 21 11 am = $572 usd for 2 (I lost $100 usd while I was sleeping.....)
      • Aug 25 9 am = $670 cad for 2
    • Anyway, my first trip to LA and west coast, quite excited!
    • Lesson: Don't wait too long with hot deals. If prices are okay, buy it! Think later!

  1. Finally things are working in my favour

    Virgin's LAX-YYZ return prices increased by $50/person today (for the October Thanksgiving), so I saved $100 potentially
