Stuff

So, stuff has happened. Not much.



16-19: Parents (mainly my mom) start stressing out when my Uncle (-Pond) decides to make my grandma's funeral a big deal (aka. telling the whole world)... Not saying that's a bad thing, but making it a big deal = more work = more money. I'm sure grandma wouldn't want us wasting all this money on her funeral.. I agree with my bro on this. The ceremony came up to be $1k (1,000) I think it was and that's not including the insanely expensive lunch. We only wanted 3 tables full of people (10 ppl per table?), 4 the most.. and suddenlyy 70 people showed up (70 compared to 30!?) meaning 7 tables and around $220 per table. Dude, 80% of the people don't even know her. Sure come and shake our hand and hold a sympathetic face for us and then leech us of our money. Bah, I know I shouldn't be angry or upset about this especially when people come because they care but still... -_-



Staples Job fair. It was a failure.



I switched to JP Playonline. Getting used to playing in Japanese now. I still suck at recognizing kanji though. Why switch? Because I could do this: ヽ(｀д´)ノｗ



My uncle and aunt visit from HK (mom's big bro & wife) to come see my grandma last Sat (24). The digi pictures I took for them turned out pretty good, except I noticed they fooled around with the lighting with one of them... grr photo people. Digi pictures are now pretty cheap to develop which is a good thing... better find more pictures to develop. So anyway, we had breakfast before we went to pick them up at the airport. They haven't ate yet so we eat at California Cafe (was that the name?) then I got driven back by my Uncle (-Pond, that is) that once again reconfirm the fact that he's the worst driver in the world: driving without hands, driving in two lanes, stopping like its DDR and not signaling all done while TALKING to ME. I was too scared to tell him to watch the road... -_-;;; I am glad I arrived home safely. D:



I picked the car and headed to the airport again to pick up the Fish. Hmm.. there wasn't anyone who wanted to come... so whatever, he said he didn't want lots of people to come in-case he dies from jetlag and isn't able to stay awake. I get there at 215 or so and waited about 45 mins before he shows up. Throughout the wait, I saw lots of other guys that looked just like him lol (big guy carrying a backpack with the chinaman look lolol)... So anyways, after picking him up he claims he isn't tired so frack we start calling up people who can't make it out at that time so instead they plan dinner instead, which I did not attend.



Instead, I had Shanghainese food for dinner with my family and relatives... The day after, we met them in the morning at church. After service, I walked with the two around Fraser Street waiting for Auntie April to finish her meeting. We had lunch at a Chinese restaurant across from Amy's Cake Shop and fish fished by Uncle Raymond. He also brought red wine, which was nice and interesting for an afternoon meal. The food was okay, not superbly great but Uncle Raymond & co love the place apparently. Edmond (or is he Alan? lol) goes out near the end of dinner and brings back some old fashioned coke bottles; I kept one for myself. Later that night, we eat at the Chinese restaurant across from Yaohan. The next day, we had noodles for dinner at Mak's (is it Mak's?) and my congee came last. :[ The day after that, we have dim sum with Angel(Uncle's daughter) and her companion (sort-of boyfriend, ya; caccasian) at Spicy Court. He's a PILOT OMFG. いいな?



I take the car and make my way to Metrotown. I get there a little early... Soon I see a guy in tan-coloured clothing sitting there by myself on the bench in front of Playdium. Hmm, I wonder if he was the guy I was supposed to be meeting with. I wasn't sure so I stood around and waited a bit longer. Soon enough I went and approched him first (yes me, out of all people) and yes it was him! Him = Tekmo. Yey, the first person I met from #digimon. ;) we make out way to what was once the food court with did not exist anymore, so we followed the funny signs on the floor that lead us to the new food court and whoa, the new Metro food courts *really* pretty. And so we eat food and then start wandering. Bah, I didn't have any good ideas for what to do so we just walked around mindlessly. Then we made our way to Crystal Mall to have some good ol' bubble tea which was disappointingly BAD! More mindless walking and talking and then we soon disbanded. He claims he had fun.. but really, I don't know.. >_> Oh and I got my ass kicked in DDR. Him = 2 feet.. Me = 4/5 feet. I had platform sandals on but still... ASS GOT WHOOPED!!!11



That night family and relatives had dinner at Tropika. More good food.



My uncle and aunt left for HK the next morning. I didn't go. I didn't feel like anything that day. Didn't go to the Breadgarden job fair nor the fireworks. I did manage to do my RSE quest for FF instead though.



So it's the end of the month. I'm supposed to have decided what to do now and in September. I feel it's too late to register for most things... maybe I'll end up working for a semester... or two.. or... a year. Maybe... That's only being optimistic though.
