Wow, I had absolutely no time to post for the past few months!
Know why? 'Cause the months of April, May, and June = graduation season; crazy kids booking a limo for their prom and then going to party after, makes me wish that I was young and carefree again! Even though it has been really hectic, it's also been really fun and now that the grad season's over, it's wedding season all summer! My favourite time of the year since there's lots of money to be made ;)

States
Hey guys,
I'm back again! I took a few days off work and went to the United States of America with my family for some shopping! On Friday I started my trip off by going for breakfast at a Dim Sum restaurant. After dim sum, we drove to the border and had to wait two hours for the line-up :-( that totally sucked, lol, but during that time I went into the duty free store to check out the stuff. They had a lot of alcohol on sale :P bought 3 bottles of Crown Royale for just $55! No tax and stuff like that. After the two hour wait, we drove to the Seattle Premium Outlet, I was like "OMG! I'm gonna shop like crazy!" but turns out, there weren't an good sales :-(! What is this?! It's like there isn't an economic recession at all.. I mean, the parking lots were full and there were sooo many people in the stores, I had to wait at least 15 minutes to make purchases, so after buying a hoodie, some jeans, and a t-shirt, I gave up trying to fight the crowd. I couldn't even look for a new suit for my job at Vancouver Limousine! Later on, drove to the Black Angus for a steak dinner. I had the New York Strip Sirloin for just $22 (not including tax & tip of course). After dinner, stayed at a nearby hotel called Embassy Suites and sweet! They had reception when I arrived, so I got to drink free wines and caesers ;) (well I paid lots of tips). The next morning, had a complimentary breakfast! Wow, it was a total buffet. Spent the rest of the day shopping around at the malls. Stopped by the Tulalip casino and guess what? I won $200 US! Sweet, eh? But after a few rounds on the slot machines, I had to be dragged away by my parents -- guess they don't want an addicted gambler in the family.

February 7, 2009
Went to Vancouver Limousine to pick up some work tonight, and wow! I have 5 jobs. Tonight is very busy. My first job is a pick-up in Vancouver and I have to take some people to the airport. The rest are short transfers to and from one place to another. Looks like I can't go home and sleep until 4 AM -- just like last week again.
Time for me to get going for my first pick-up!
Don't want the clients to be angry

January 26th 2009
Today, work at Classic Limousine was slow. Because the phone hardly rang and all the paperwork had been done the day before, I got stuck outside washing the limo. I wasnt expecting to go outside so I was wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Needless to say, it was freezing. Afterwards we got a call from Vancouver Limousine. They wanted to know if one of our vehicle were available to do a job for them since they had their car put in a shop for repair. We were happy to accept their job.

Happy Chinese & Vietnamese New Years
Back at Vancouver Limousine again.
Had quite a few jobs last night, all the clients I transferred were Chinese. Good thing they were! Lots of them offered me some food, like rice and desserts. I even got some extra tips when I spoke a few words of Chinese - Gong Hei Fat Choy - they gave me a few "red envelopes." Had to do a 3:00 AM pick-up at a club on Davie for a couple of drunk guys.
Glad the snow and ice are all gone! I remember driving to Whistler was a scary ride for me. Good thing nothing happened to me or my limos, though I was stuck in traffic accidents quite a few times. Hope more events come up, since we're entering an economic recession and I might go broke. Ha-ha.

Slow Season
Well Vancouver Limousine and all the other limo companies in Vancouver are slow this year. What I hear is Griffin Transportation, Star and most companies drivers are all complaining that it is so slow. And February is usually a slow month most years (Yuck) :(.
Well there goes the vacation this year.
