Vancouver Cruise Ship Limousine

Cruise Time

The Olympics are over and my job as a Vancouver limousine driver had slowed down a bit. Luckily, cruise ships, weddings and grad seasons are kicking in VERY soon. Then I'll be driving 24/7 again. I love doing grads and wedding because people are always so happy and friendly. Not to mention, the tips are pretty lovely too. Ballantyne Pier had closed down this year due to lack of Vancouver Cruise Ships. Therefore, all of the ships are going to be at Canada Place. It is also very surprising that we are booking more Canadians than American cruise ships transfer this year. Did the US economy drop that badly? I wonder. I wish I could be one of the lucky ones and go on a cruise as well. Just sit back and enjoy an awesome 2 weeks of traveling on water. I really want to try out the Princess Cruise because I heard that the food on those ships are the best. The seafood are supposedly really fresh and delicious. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it.

Here is a little introduction to Canada Place Cruise Ship Terminal for you foreingners:
Canada Place is located near Gas Town, which is an awesome place to visit if you are a tourist. There are tons of brand name stores and little ice cream stores, which are perfect for a hot day. Also, there was a historical museum which was pretty neat. I do not know if the museum is still there today, but if it is, that is a great place to go to with a friend or family. Anyways, enough of Gas town and back to Canada Place. Canada place is near the Pacific Ocean, which makes it a great place to take pictures of all the different ships that come in and out. Also, Canada place is filled with delicious restaurants, great gift shops and awesome hotels such as the Pan Pacific.

They're heeere!

You may ask "what's here?"

Well it's the Olympics! The Vancouver 2010 Olympics are finally here :-) I got to watch the torch run by a few times. There were even special guest appearances like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wayne Gretzky, Rick Mercer... I didn't have Olympic fever until I saw the torch run by, and I'm pretty sure over 80% of Vancouver has Olympic fever right now! Last night, I went to the Olympic store at the Hudson's Bay Company in Downtown with a couple of friends.. holy crap, we had to line up a block just to get into the store, and when we got in, the hoodie we were gonna get was sold out! That's ridiculous :(  but in the end, we got a few Olympic mascot plushies, the awesome and super warm Olympic red mittens, and a scarf. When we went out, everyone was yelling and screaming because Team Canada won the preliminary hockey game! :D

Lady GaGa Barbie Dolls!

Wow guys...

Lady GaGa even has barbie dolls made after her! OMG, i wish i were a kid again haha. i'd totally play with my sister and fight with her over the prettiest Lady Gaga doll :) I found these pics during my break at Vancouver Limousine:

Take a look!!

Lady Gaga's Hello Kitty crazy outfit... the doll is created with absolute detail! Wow!

They look really identical! I was almost fooled at first...

I think these are pretty cute, eh?

Neat shoes :)

It's the scary Kermit the Frog outfit :P

Cool hair eh?

i'm amazed with the detail of these photos!

speaking of Lady Gaga.... "Bad Romance" just came on the radio LOL!

Lady GaGa

I have to admit, I'm a huge Lady GaGa fan! Her new single is so mesmerizing, everytime it comes on the radio I feel like dancing!

Has everyone heard it yet?


it's called "Bad Romance" and I love, love, love it! :-) I think my friends and I are going to perform this song at a dance show in a few months, but gotta start practicing.

Oh btw, I found a photo of Lady Gaga in a limo! OMG! I wonder if it was Vancouver Limousine's limo? I don't know, but I wish I chauffeured her! I could have gotten her autograph :P

She looks awesome. I love her outfit and her style, though at times it can be TOTALLY insane. Like that Kermit the frog outfit she wore? :\ hmm... but I still love her so whatever <3

New cell phone!

Hey guys, I'm back again.

So I managed to pay off my bills from the holidays! Haha, who woulda thought, eh? But thanks to you guys for booking with Vancouver Limousine...I had work over the holidays and I still have a little work. Well, I still have some money left over so I'm treating myself to a new cell phone! I am buying an LG Ice-cream cellphone.



Isn't it just wonderful? I wanted this phone for a year now, and I finally got the guts to order it! I know...finally *rolls eyes.* Well I'm getting the white one and it's only around $240.00, not bad for an Asian phone. I was looking at another phone, the Sony Ericsson Aino, and WOW! They're selling it for around $600.00 here in Canada! Isn't that crazy? What if I drop it? I'd have to get a new one... so yea, I'm sticking with the lovely LG ice-cream phone. I get to pick it up next week! I can't wait :) After I buy the phone, I'm gonna spend my next pay cheque on accessories for the phone, a case, and stuff like that. Yay!

Slept in

No work at the Vancouver Limousine office or the Whistler Star Express office today, so I slept in until now. Going out for a coffee at Blenz later and then Christmas shopping (yeah, finally!) at Richmond Centre and Metrotown Mall. Can't believe they open until 11 PM today, wow! My list is so long, I don't even know where to start.. but hopefully I'll be able to buy everything in time :-)

5 days til Christmas! Yay!

I was on Google the other day and I found some cool photos of different kinds of limousines! Check out this baby pink stretch PT cruiser:

Neat, eh? I've never seen this in Vancouver, but I wish my company had one though. I'd like to drive it around town, but then again, who would rent this vehicle? Ladies obsessed with pink? Or...? Nah, don't want to think about it.

Vancouver Limousine

Ow...

Just got off work at the Vancouver Limousine office. Oh dear, my arm still hurts from the H1N1 shot! It's been over a week. Well of course, my friend punching my arm didn't help, nor the bus door closing on my arm. Man, I think I should go get a massage, but I don't know which place is good. For sure, I don't want an accupuncture treatment, it's waaay too scary... but I guess I could also wait for it to not feel so sore so I can save myself some money :-S. What do you reckon I should do?

Limousine Vancouver

Ugh, the Jay Z are here today down at the GM place. Not that i dont like them, but that means my job is going to be more crazy. Why? Well, first of all, the streets are going to be jammed packed, the people are going to be drunk, wild, and excited, and the limos are going to be trashed, meaning I'll have to work overtime cleaning up the booze. NOT looking forward to that, but hey, a job is a job and I'll do it since Classic Limousine pays me well. Well, wish me luck!

Vancouver Limousine Wedding

So I finally got over my cold, it's been a week and a half already! I've only got 2 short transfers tomorrow, which is pretty strange for a Saturday. Usually I have either a biiiiig Vancouver Limousine Wedding (ranging from 4-8 hours) or a 3-5 hour Vancouver Limousine tour in the evening. Maybe August 8th, 2009 isn't a popular date to get married or something? Well hopefully next week will be busier so I get more jobs! Cha-ching.

Limousine Vancouver

Awww man

Hey guys! I've been sick for the past week :-( it totally sucks because I feel like crap and the weather is just a-mazing, but I can't even hit the beach or do anything, since I am stuck at home sweating my butt off, eating chicken noodle soup and congee all day, and watching the soap operas. I can't wait until I get rid of this cold because my voice has changed and I can barely breathe through my nose. I've had to call in sick at the Vancouver Limousine Office for five days now and I'm already itching to get back! Sure hope it goes away soon.

Peace out, party hard!

Friday's here

Hooooolly shittt. Friday's . Fricken. here.



You ever get that urge to curl up and hibernate for the next 3 months?
I should be able to! I worked like , 3-4 small jobs today that the boss at Vancouver Limousine called me for.

I'd say PURDY good for a recession, don't ya think?



hahah



Maybe I should go out and take a breather, maybe eat at the Stone Grill restaurant and take in the view of the water :-D I'm classy, ain't I?



Well, nothing else to say. Til next time.

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.

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.

Cruise Ship Season

I have had many Americans ask me how many cruise ships come to Vancouver each year, I think it is about 300 trips in total but I could be wrong. I found a site Vancouver Cruise Ship Information. It is not up to date yet but probably will be soon. I wonder how many Americans will show up this year with our dollar as it is. Will wait and see.

Whistler Limousine

Ski Season

Well it's that time of year again! Snow is falling in Whistler (Finally). I have had a few job offers, and for the the past two years I have driven for Whistler Limousine and enjoyed it very much, however, drivers are big on demand! Whistler Star Express and Whistler Limousine are hiring and have called with offers. Wow its going to be a busy season! I can totally feel it. I was told that it is taking 3 hours to get to Whistler from the airport now, dammmmnnn construction. I will have to make my mind up in the next two weeks. I guess I'll give my friend, Laura Lee, a call for help.

Vancouver & Whistler Limousine

It's raining again

Did a trip to Whistler yesterday for Whistler Limousine, still thinking I should change jobs and work for them. Rained up and down the highway. The only good part was working with Lauralee Bowie, world champion Skier. We met a lot of people and stayed at the New Four Seasons in Whistler. I got lots of calls these few days for Vancouver Limousine pricing. Boy, saw tons of skiers in Whistler now.

So I have a theory.. about the weather. It affects people's moods. When it's sunny, usually people are nice and happy. But since it's raining and snowing so much, I get some cranky customers -.- If only it were warm all the time! Oh well, who said life was fair?

Hmm lots of driving means lot of sitting around. I gotta find some time for the gym now, perhaps I'll try Georgia Athletic Club, since my beer belly's coming back, haha.
