Bonjour Quebec!!! (Day 03 15-08-08)

Woke up next morning at about 8am (gosh and i thought that was early!) Went for breakfast downstairs on lvl 2. My room is on lvl 3, roommate is David Tan instead of Marcus as he wanted to room with RICHARD(!!!) who was actually David's roommate.

Breakfast was not bad. Simple but not bad. Variety of bread to choose, with toaster available, cold hard-boiled eggs, packets of what I though was tuna but everyone said it was chicken... some diced cheese which was thick and cold (mozz and cheddar i think) There was a variety of cornflakes but I didnt really take them. Various of spreads available too! Butter, honey, penut butter, some other stuff I can't remember. Will check again tomorrow. Btw Breakfast is the same everyday. No bacon though (RARRRRRRR!!!!)

Orders were to stand down till 1130 and they would bring us to the Convention Ctr (CC) and collect instruments. So in the meantime, David and I decided to take a swim (oh I mean dip... as in... dip.) The warm pool was so small that when you kick the wall hard enough you can reach the other end. Met MSG Jais and MSG Cecelia there, so we were kinda like half bitching about some people. lol lets not mention names.

We went back up to the room after we go bored about 45mins later to get ready. The bus we're taking (since we touched down) is super comfy and quiet! Beats every coach or public bus I've ever taken. The bus took us to the CC and we had a chance to roam around (1st free roam). So we (David, Kenneth and I) decided to explore Rue St. Jean (Rue = Rd). Visited the Chocolate Museum and other various shops along the road. We ran into a public band performance I think by the Canadian Cadets Military Band. Listened a little bit. The conductor walked around and even sang a pop song accompanied by the band... Nice voice! The crowd was amazing! So many people gathered around the stage under the hot sun just to watch a simple performance. Quite alot of them brought their own chairs too! This will never happen in S'pore lor.

Walked on after that. Took more pictures before we had to head back to the CC. Opened all the instruments which were already delievered in there and checked for damage during travel. Only one of the toms had a broken skin. My personal parade snare which was really tight before it left singapore became super loose, had to tighten it again.

Had packed dinner on the bus back to hotel then came back to prepare for the next day.

The lunch and dinner were packed in a rather large box each. It was really heavy. 4 slices of bread, 2 packs of drinks, side snack, celery and babt carrots, and mustard sauce... something along this line la.

yup end of day 03!
