Pro:
Someone can bring you the keys if you locked them in the car.
Con:
That someone will most likely scream at you and call you the stupidest sister ever.
Pro:
There are many people to share the responsibility of cleaning the car.
Con:
It’s gross when someone leaves their used tissue papers in the car. The balls of crumpled, used tissue papers then fall under the car seat, and the person cleaning will find an unwanted surprise.
(The person leaving their tissue papers is usually my mom; the only person who ever cleans is me. Why is this?)
Pro:
Sharing the cost of a car so that you can afford a nicer car.
Con:
It is rare that the car is available when needed, or your reason for using the car is overridden by a “better” reason (such as, “i paid for most of this car, so i get to use it more”)
Con:
When the car is finally available, another member of the family has to get somewhere, and you have to either drop them off, or just you end up not using the car anyways.
Con:
Paying for gas, then finding out the next day that someone else used up all the gas.
Pro:
Knowing that someone else filled up on gas, and taking the car out without having to pay for gas.
Public transit is the best way to get around Vancouver, even though Translink is unreliable and the busses smell bad.
I am joining the few people out there who shoot with film. Got myself a Holga 120FN, also known as a toy camera, and 2 rolls of film, one colour and one b/w.
The people at Beau Photo were really nice and helpful. I had no idea which film to get, but they gave me tons of advice. I’m excited :)
during an innocent night of MJ, the topic of the conversation somehow became related to anal sex.
V: why do people enjoy anal sex?
G: some gay guys just do.
L: receiving or giving?
G: the flamboyant ones usually like receiving…
V: why would anyone even consider doing it?! it’s so dirty!
a few games and a phone call to V later…
V: badminton tomorrow! i’m gonna rape R, then im gonna rape VY, then at ultimate, i’m gonna rape A!
G: for a guy who doesn’t like anal sex, you sure enjoy raping a lot!
if i didn’t love my eyes, i wouldn’t buy such expensive things for them.
according to J, a purchase is not impulsive if after 10 minutes, the item is still desirable. i really shouldn’t shop with people who are amused by the way i shop because i only get encouraged to spend more. i find that i don’t find things i really like often, but when i do, i must get it no matter what the price is unless somebody convinces me otherwise. thanks to S&S for talking me out of the manolos! too bad you guys weren’t here for today’s purchase.)
…went to the AMS Block Party,
…caught up in Ugly Betty, Gossip Girl, America’s Next Top Model S14
…watched Sex and the City,
Sarah Jessica Parker may be one of the most unsexiest woman in the world, but that doesn’t mean the show isn’t interesting. learned a lot about sex and life (and not genetics…) from watching all 6 seasons + movie.
…played Tetris on Facebook,
i am now 4th on my friends’ list, with a score of 696308.
…went to Urban Thai Bistro for dinner,
the night before my last exam (BIOL335, genetics), J, A, G, my brother, and I decided to go out to eat because Dine Out was in town. It was one of the $18 menus in Yaletown, and the food was pretty average.
beef strips appetizer, fried banana with coconut ice cream for dessert (anything fried is good!), beef curry entrée.
A and i also had Bangkok Cosmopolitans. lol.
…ate chocolate filled koala cookies that had exam themed designs
hope everybody did okay on their exams. i’m glad i passed everything!
Every time I get home from work/school or they get home, there are a few questions that my grandmother/parents never fail to ask. I’m sure they do it because they want to show they care, or they just want to start a conversation. It should be obvious by now that they won’t get me to socialize with them by asking the following questions.
Question 1. “FAN JOR LAY LA?” (ie, “YOU ARE BACK ?”)
No. I am not. That is why I am walking into the house.
Question #2. “JONG MAY CHUT HUI AH?” (ie, “YOU’RE NOT GONE YET?”
Um. Yeah sure, I’m not really here.
Question #3. “YEE. LEY HAI DOE AH?” (ie, “OH, YOU ARE HERE?”)
No, really, I am not HERE here, but I am in this room, or well. here.
Question #4. “JONG MAY FUN AH?” (ie, “YOU’RE STILL NOT ASLEEP?”)
My eyes are open, I am sitting upright in front of my laptop, but no, I am asleep.
And they must ask these questions with an angry aggressive tone.
I’m sure there are more questions similar to the ones above, and I really hope that this will stop because crap crp modulons are already driving me crazy enough.
Do your very Chinese parents/grandparents do this to you?
where does my brother find all these annoying songs?
this one is the song for Unicorn Robot Attack, an online game all about unicorns and rainbows. all it’s missing are leprechauns and happy children dancing in a circle…
ever heard of zakka? bentos? Shinzi Katoh?
Shinzi Katoh is a well-known Japanese designer of zakka, including bento boxes, water bottles, lunch bags, stationary, and more. It’s not only useful, but also quite adorable. i’m gonna start collecting his things in hopes that they will appreciate in the future, sorta like a dead painter’s paintings. :)
this is what i’ve been thinking about during the 4 hours i worked everyday this week…

Also, my Ethernet driver isn't working, so I can't connect to the internet at home, since I have no wireless. Hm...
