Montreal Day 1

ho la, woke up at 615 around.... got dressed and left da house - heading to..... markham! parked my car at scottie's and then we took his car... first grab mcdonald's for breakfast.... they give free newspaper ga wor... haa didn't know that..... and then we went onto the hwy to montreal lu! we took turns this time... i drove about 2-3 service station la..... stopped by the tourist info at the end of 401.... the lady said there'll be fireworks @ old montreal tonight! by the time we got to montreal it was 1-ish... not bad hehee.... parked da car.... we chose the lot outside of the hotel cos it was cheaper.... $15/24hrs ok la.... downtown wor.... and then did an early check in - dropped down our stuff... and started walking towards the shopping area - st. catherine street!

but first thing first..... FOOD! we were both kinda hungry...... ended up at an italian restaurant.... with the receptionist looks like Christy Chung! hahaa attempted to take a picture of her but she speedwalks around the restaurant... couldn't catch her in da camera.... too bad... =P we both had pasta.... d food pretty good le, d pasta ho chi hai homemade ge tim!

shopping ma.... we walked on the street a bit first... and then headed to the underground area - ho chi toronto's path.... nothing special, the street better hahaa...... lotsa sales in the stores le, most things are like 70% off not like toronto most dol hai 50%.... we found benetton @ eaton center!! the t-shirts are cheaper here hehee.... so i bought too, a yellow and a purple.... ummm... thanks scottie hehehee...... and then we kept walking walking..... found $15 tie @ a nice desinger store..... sisley was eye opening too! nice stuff there but discount jor still a bit expensive to me... haaa.... the stores close so early.... didn't even get to check out fcuk jau need to go lu.....

went back to the hotel to hea for a bit..... walk jor 3 hours a...... dead tired~ 7-ish jau head out again.. this time... to old montreal! =D we took the route to st. laurent so we can walk by china town on the way there too..... very old very china town feel.. has the china town smell hahahaa...... old montreal ho big ga... we walked walked walked.... shops jau not too many or not too interesting.... we were looking for food la..... ended up at the same restaurant i went last time with my parents!! cos they had the yummy lobster bisque soup!! kekeee.e... jeng jeng jeng... oh there were ppl on the streets doing shows/stuns..... putting fire in the mouth a, pretending to be a statue a gum.... ho interesting ga..... back to the dinner..... it was huge!!!! i couldn't finish the lobster...... but it was good heheehee...... after that we headed to the shore and followed the crowd... to watch fireworks.... but 1/2 way there we realized we were walking really far already.... so started to head back.... d fireworks ok la, not that spectacular.... attempted to take a few pics of it but not too nice.... cos we were far away from there...... we took a slow and long walk back to the hotel... almost 1 hour a! got back to the hotel already 12 something... take mai shower by the time we hit the bed already 1 something..... tmr, check out @ 12~!

long weekend! =D

work? what work? hahaa, didn't do anything today la... played with the DBR listing.... fill in the blanks exercise gum..... the rest of the day is more montreal prep/chat/hea/lazy gum... kekee..... ohoh henry emailed to ask if we're going to lunch today hehee... but no body is here today and i don't want to go with him alone.... so.. i said i brought lunch.. =P ended up going to scarborough town just to walk around and kill some time... had a nice big ice cream for lunch kakakaa.....

today of course leave early... but 4-ish already lotsa traffic..... so i made a stop @ yorkdale to get some snacks + kill some time...... ended up spending $$ again aiyaa~~~~!! and then.... just when i got back on the hwy (no traffic btw).... the truck in front of the car in front of mine (2 cars ahead of me) ran over a piece of rubber (i think its 1/2 of a tire).... few seconds after it went out of control.... we were on the 2nd lane from the left la.... it did a sharp right turn suddenly and hit the right end of the lanes - the blocks that separates express and collectors.... another truck was on the rightmost lane... ran into this truck and there was huge fire at the spot where the collision happened...... ho scary a..... everybody slowed a bit but to avoid creating more traffic for the ppl behind us we drove away..... sigh~ what a way to start the long weekend.... feel sorry for the truck drivers... it wasn't anyone's fault... more like the city's fault for not cleaning up the highway properly.......

so dinner was me and dad..... left over foods from before but very yummy haha the duck and the veggie soup.... =) spent da night packing/tv/bt.... slept around 1... need to wake up at 630 tmr... just like going to work... hahaaa

queen st.

didn't do anything at work today haaa.... morning still feel a bit sick... kept going to the washroom wor.... but not really function.... hard to describe.. =P anyhow.... so i was walking around, standing up sitting down..... just not doing work la, since gary is not in today... wahhaaa.... and then, lunch we went to congee star..... henry asked if he could come lunch with us! but too bad i didn't get the email until it was too late... maybe next week la! after lunch jau even worse..... i mean i felt better (my tummy) but work-wise... i walked over to ms. burberry's office but she wasn't there and that was it! chatted with eva and frankie until 4... bill came over to tell me to leave early... wakaka you ng tell me dol leave early ga la.. XP so went downtown to pick up scottie.... and we headed over to queen..... the shopping area~

scottie's wardrobe supplier close jor a... aiyaa... too bad... but the store that replaced it kinda became my supplier hahaaa..... i like the clothes there, plain but colorful..... not too eye catching but not dull either... =) bought a top and a skirt there..... and then found a tiny store that sells japanese socks! umm.. also found the extension cord he wanted to get.... the store got moved upstairs.. we thought it was gone tim a.....

after that we headed over to queen st .... hehe the east end....... for the yummy dinner~ jazz festival a.... so hard to find parking.. and the cheap black woman took our spot!! we followed this guy from the other side of the parking lot to his spot.... there was a black woman having her car waiting around there but she was signalling right... the guy we followed was on teh left... so we signalled left... and then right when the guy started backing his car the black woman changed her signal and took the spot! soooo cheap~~~~~~ ho choi we found another spot not long after...... had to walk about 10-15mins back up to queen a.... lotsa dogs around!!

saw vincent already there... we went to fill out those prize draw thingy... he filled one out too.. and got his bracelet stuck in the box.... wakkakaaaaaaa =D sooo funny... anyways...... then we headed inside the restaurant.... kevin said he could've gotten us permit to park in front of the restaurant ga... aiyaa~~~ o wells.... the food was good a, we got "gai po yue" again hehee... and lobster rice instead of crab rice this time..... got to try the taro ice cream too... sooo yummy sooo satisfied....!! thanks vincent for driving me to my car..... didn't get home until almost 1 le.... ho tired tonight....... =)

July 20, 2005

cranky me

i know those are just tiny things and i shouldn't fat pay 4 but i just can't help it, you know when ppl are so stupid they don't understand dead simple things and have to explain...... or when you are in a situation where you really don't want to do it but you have no choice at all......... anyhow, its just frustrating but unavoidable........ so what do you do? fat pay 4 lor..................... and then feel super bad afterwards........ WHAT AM I DOING????????

ok back to work, got a ride from eva this morning.. thanks thanks..... so that i can drive my car home tonight...... work is sooo free and not interesting haaa.... but i managed to make it interesting by prinintg out the whole ccna book + photocopy and hole-punch every page so i can use a binder to hold it..... kkaa... sooo pro.. =P after lunch jau do ha actual work... gary wants another spreadsheet....... hahaa ok i'll give him another one... gotta think htink what's the most efficient way to combine all these data sin dak.... i'm an excel expert la~~~!!

after work called dad, he wanted me to go to auntie vivian's place alone.... yeee... sigh, mo ban fat - see there's an unavoidable situation...... ok go la, yau yiu tum the auntie and teach her how to use the tv (mind you i went to fix her internet/computer, NOT da TV!).... ok finish mom yau "duet ming jui wan call" me to go home for dinner.. u know how dangerous that is... ???? call me like 5-6 times on my way home.. i'm on da highway ga.... go home tell her about it jung wa i'm not "blowing" you just wana see where you are... the fact that you call jau already is an indication you want me to get home this second la..... driving takes time i can't fly ga my lovely mom... sigh.... and then sum goo ma came back right so we had dinner together and she said i'm skinny AGAIN... gosh, people!! just because you haven't really seen me much in the past few years doesn't mean i can't change at all right?????? i've been at the same weight since i took out the wisdom teeth like... 4 years ago?! and to be honest i should be fatter now if any change, i actually had flat abs before dating... and how i don't.... don't tell me having flat abs = fatter......... i just get frustrated because they say it like its a bad thing, like i'm going to break/die any second, like i'm weak.... i'm doing exercise keeping myself healthy! if you dont' know what's going on jau please don't give me that attitude..... i don't care who you are you have no authority to critize me this way...... grrrrrh, just mad!!!

one more little thing during dinner, dad came home before going out to dinner... so we were just finishing up when he came in, then mom kept forcing dad to eat the congee.... almost made dad fat pay 4 too... i can so understand dad though, if you're going out in like 20mins to eat dinner wiht you friend.. and someone is forcing you to eat like a whole meal right now - given the fact that you've already told them you're not going to eat at home tonight.... i'd get frustrated too! gan jue yau hai gum ask go where to eat..... that's what i call "da lan sa poon mon dou duk!" sooo annoying..... i hate people doing that...... its not even your business... they answer you with something and walk away you should get the sense that they don't want to talk about it anymore.. so... you stop asking! ppl just don't get it~~!! anyhow.. that's just my complains, not dad's.....

so after dinner of course i need to go bt for dad again.. and here comes mom complaining how she can't get on internet.... once again i'm pulled between my lovely parents wanting conflicting things from me (first was the going to help auntie vivian + going home early for dinner)..... so now, should i bt so i can keep dad's mouth shut asking me when is "yi dou" going to finish every 5 mins or so like an alarm clock but get mom's "jenny, there's no internet" every like 20mins....... or should i satisfy mom - turn off bt to keep mom quiet.. but get the 5min alarm from dad the whole night? i duno which is better.. you tell me...... sooner or later i'm going to explode with these ridiculous requests.. how many times have i asked mom to use internet during the day, explaining to her how the only time i can do it is when i come home till the next morning... and how dad wants it every night like by the end of dinner which is almost impossible.. these two bosses are so much harder to please than bill and gary!!! ><~~~

thinking of a solution for this..... don't say i'm just complaining.... thinking of using the 2 connections per acct limit from sympatico..... maybe add a hub to split it up or something...... gotta play around withe router settings to see if i can avoid having to buy another device..... or what other options are available.... i can't go on like this anymore....

is it me being cranky? or are these things really annoying???

July 19, 2005

1/2 awake

wah ho sun fu..... woke up ok wor, awake ga wor... after the drive to work.... started feeling sleepy.... more like brain not functioning at normal speed...... did some work ga, but super slow, ppl talk to me took me a while to process and respond..... like downgraded to a 486...

got home, started looking for stuff a, pack a, move a, get prepared la..... stupid cousin came over for dinner and kept bugging me about being skinny... what does that have to do with you wor.. just because you haven't seen me much in the past few years + i wore a tank top today doesn't mean i'm sitting here for you to critize me...... cook jor dinner jau eat la you, say jor 1 time i'm skinny change yuen topic yau bring it up again... so wanted to yell at him.... wa me meh ng eat fish skin cos i'm scared of the fat... hai me jau ng wui eat the chicken skin when he was saying that la, ng use brain ge..... so wanted to just punch him in the head...... mom sensed my anger too tried to change the topic... gum hai ma, its NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!! hate it when people say it like i'm dying or something.......

so i left the dinner table right after i'm done and kept packing.... now i have 1 backpack for my clothes + the addidas bag for personal effects + first aid stuff for the group.... and also found the summer sleeping bag and i'm going to bring the yoga mat to sleep on.. kkakaaa... thanks frankie for the good idea~ and then right when i thought i was almost done = can go shower.... forgot there's still celia's dvd... and also the drama stuff is coming again..... so kinda webcam + msn jasmine + celia in da house + packing at the same time.... so confused @@" celia said i look like i was really mad or something haaa.. sorries..... but anyhow, everything is done and i took my shower before celia arrived..... finished everything jau go sleep...... ho tired! this weekend will be super tired too!!!

mask day

neck finally doesn't hurt as much anymore... yes, my neck has been in some pain for the past few days..... checking blind spot while driving was extremely difficult......

nothing much to do at work a, bill cancelled our meeting cos he was working on the budget... and then my right index finger in bandage so typing and using trackpoint was quite slow..... did walk around to talk to a few other people today too.... but that's about it..... left work on time of course kakaa and today no traffic... got home before 530 - before mom left the house! <-- actually not a good thing cos she took my car to markham since i came back... my gas~~~! =P waaay too hot ate some ice cream while waiting for dad to come home... aiyaaaaa..... function again... ><~

kekee, took an early shower today partly cos of the temparature in the house.... + earlier no one is watering their lawn so the water pressure is better... anyways, and did a mask while waiting for dad wor... kakaa... perfect timing..... had a light dinner cos the house was still tooo hot... no appetite....... was suppose to add the usb card for mom (dad brought it back), but yea, TOO HOT!! so didnt' do it either.. hahaa.. just laid on the floor and watched tv the whole night...kakakaa...... waited for scottie to go home... so late le....... ohoh, another mask at night - eye mask.... wahh~~ comfy!

my poor butt...... ><

all these "functioning" the from sunday till today is creating some "pains" in my butt... =P really though, it hurts..... sigh..... but today i'm getting better la, hehehe.... less washroom breaks at work.... didn't function after lunch!! =D btw, including this lunch... i've had the exact same thing as a meal 6 times in a row... haa, since sunday nite (dinner) - monday all 3 meals - today breakfast + lunch..... no complains tho, the noodle soup is really good... just thought its funny....

went to talk to a few people today too.... but mostly dol hai email la, waiting for thurs to send reminders kakaa.. that's how "proactive" i am at work.. XP and then bill gave us the feedback from the bcp ppl on the list of errors we gave them earlier.... some of their come backs we just don't agree, but i went over the list and made some notes on the arguable items la...... we'll meet tomorrow to discuss...

ohoh, good news for alex i found out there's a built in mic on da laptop.. can record his stuff for him at work tmr... hahaa. just need to find a room and hide in there.... =P

left work a bit early to pick scottie up... we're going to the nike employee store today.... first time drive on kingston road wor... not bad le, no traffic.. hehee.... the store so un-noticable.... we almost drove passed it! anyhow.. the stuff there are up-to-date stuff not like outlets a, exact same things i saw in sportscheck/sporting life few days ago... haa.. pretty good, they do give a good discount too.. but maybe because i'm not a huge nike fan, i find the discounted price still a bit too expensive... hahaa... i mean, a sports t-shirt (material is nice ge) can cost $3x after discount, not something i'd go for lor.. but i'm sure others might find it cheap.. hahaa... original price can go up to $5x-6x..... scottie said shoes are cheap but.. me no interest.. =P ummm.... i ended up buying a hat (keke, the cancun one shrunk after i threw it into the dryer) and another yoga mat, good deal and much better quality.. hehee.. i must keep doing yoga to make it worth then~~ ^^" didn't stay for too long cos there isn't really THAT much to see.....

dropped scottie back at his place jau head home..... i was the last one to get home today tim... usually dad doesn't leave work until 7 ga ma..... but..... o wells...... here comes my nightmare......

as i was walking up the stairs in the garage to open the door to get into the house.. i felt this suddenly numbness followed by a sharp pain behind my left knee wor... but it went away after a few seconds.. so i went in and ate my dinner... yuummy food btw..... then after dinner of course go to my room and start bt-ing again.... sat on da chair.... "CRACK" <--- it was loud!! ><~~ followed by the same numbness and pain in my butt this time..... ok, definitely something wronng... something in my skirt... so i went to the washroom, took off the skirt to find what's sticking on my skirt... couldn't find anything!!! but saw this huge red spot on my thigh.. and another one on da butt...... can't be a mosquito... went to ask dad for help.. told him it hurts... and then he was like... "oh, is it that thing on the door that bit you?" i turned around and screamed and cried..... its was HUGE!!!!!! at least an inch - maybe even 2 inches long.... some kind of fly... looks like a bee but after dad killed it he said it's not a bee......... ><~~~!!!!!! i think it flew into my skirt when i was in the garage la... and and and... it was with me the whole time i was eating dinner too!!!!!!!! gross!!!! sigh.... so mom got me the afterbite to put on and dad killed da thing...... it seriously hurts eh.... i quickly took a shower and put on more afterbite afterwards la....... couldn't sit the whole night cos it hurts even when i walk....... ho choi the afterbite really works... the swell and redness on the skin died down a lot by the time i sleep... but still hurts lor... could only sleep on the side..... can't lie down..... sigh... i just got rid of the food poisoning ... and now.... me so bad luck.... !!!!!

not to mention after that i tried opening the yoga mat.. there's a piece of cardboard wrapping around it.... and i got a paper cut from there....... bleeding like crazy........ @@"


ohoh must mention thank you daddy for filling up my car for me..... hehee got supreme for 85.9 too!! and setup the chinese writing pad for mom... not enough usb ports.....

hopefully it'll recover more tonight so i can actually sit in the car for an hour or so to drive myself to work tomorrow.............................................................................................

aches....

this morning had the left over of last night's noodle soup for breakfast then went to work.... slept ok ga, i guess it was because of the medicine.... but woke up around 5 something.... feel better already, but still not fully recovered yet.... first thing i did after getting to work was going to washroom... hahaa... seems like i'm getting rid of watever i'm putting in my mouth pretty quick... =P

work hai work, thought about leaving early to go home le.... cos.... i think in total i went to the washroom 4 times the whole day...... sigh~ but everytime i feel better wor, so didn't leave early lo..... but the office was sooo cold in the morning, duno if it was me or what...... i took a walk outside during lunch though, sooo warm, very comfy.. =) and got another sweater into the office to keep myself warm...... thanks everyone for caring.... spent the afternoon laminating basically... haaa, cos i don't want to face the spreadsheet anymore and i have already sent out most of the emails...... laminated gary's pictureSS - so picky on the size and stuff.. =P and also my applause.. heee..... paula was suppose to call me but she didn't... as expected haa..... and couldn't find brian.... anyways, left work right at 430 la, super hot outside by then..... even the traffic report says highways are busy.... it didnt' take me that long to get home...... roughly 1 hour ok la.... go to work dou yiu la.....

went to drop off the dvds to celia and got the new ones..... then went home to burn burn burn.... mom said there was a power out in the afternoon le...... hahaa, and she was so desparate to go out that she manually pulled the garage door up to let her car out!!! parents pui me eat soup noodle again tonight a, thank you thank you, very plain too only veggie + pork.... i know dad must have thought it was too plain... and then we saved some for my tmr's breakfast + lunch...... dad's mce remote sort sort dei.. i realized that on the weekend too ga la, yuen loi hai the battery..... went out to get gas around 9, dad gave me shell coupons!!! so happy, hahaa but then.... they are expired ga!!! ho choi me only filled $15.... but the thing is, he used it before dinner... i went after dinner jau already can't use... expiray date hai june 30 wor!! anyhow... i gave them back to dad la, the cashier just wasn't sure if she can take them or not, if the manager was there he probably would've taken them..... tonight's gas ho expensive a.... 89.x.... @@"

tmr go ng go to the nike thing ho le... i hope i'll feel more ok tomorrow la.......
