Age 13 -1990

Grade 9 -Age 13
This year I transferred to Britannia Secondary (another asian run school in the Eastside) which I liked more than Tech. I had a new group of friends, some which I met while volunteering at the Strathcona daycamp during summer hols (hahaha, summer hols, that’s a british term). I don’t think I started hanging out at Ray Cam just yet… but we did hang out at the Brit community center & they has a haunted house in part of the indoor pool area. It was a whole Halloween festival but as high schoolers, we were way too cool for that.
I went trick or treating around Britannia with Melinda, Charlene and a couple others. It was a busy year but we didn’t go to that many houses as my friends weren’t into it the same way as I was. At the end of the TTing, we climbed on the roof of the daycare center portion to light off Roman Candles ( I didn’t buy em but my friends got hold of some). There were these older boys that were doing the same on the roof and they tried to grab our bags of candy. I held onto mine as they tried to do the grab & run but my bag ripped and a lot of my candy fell out. I tried to salvage as much as I could with my broken plastic bag and then we went straight to Charlenes house which was a block away. After we sorted out our candy & traded I took the bus home, with less candy than I wanted. Getting back home & snuggling in bed to watch Halloween specials was nice.
