Wow, times flies by. A month till prom, which means school is almost over for all those highschoolers. What the heck did I do for the past 3 months? It feels like I just got out of school yesterday. I think it’s the daily routine of waking up and going to work that makes the days so tedious and probably.. so meaningless too.
I finished my prom shopping. Well, at least for now, everything on my list is checked off, except maybe the hair and make up appointments, but those are costly. (MAC make-over: $100 per appointment. What the hell do they do anyways for a hundred bucks, put eyeshadow on your eye?!) But hair must be done. A MUST.– Sigh. Look who’s finally going to prom. But! it will be fun right?
My little irene is in hk right now and it’s hard to read her xanga and see that she’s not having as much fun as I thought she would be. I was expecting her to rub some of that excitement and extreme fob shopping in my face till i have a little tear of jealousy in my eyes by now, but that’s not the case. I really hope you find a job soon siu my. Really was hoping you’re having fun. But hey, try to make the best out of it? Good food at least?
Siu my told me people are damn selfish and mean in hk. I can only imagine. Streets full of road rage assholes that don’t give a damn if they ran over your foot while making a right turn. So i’ve been taking a mental note at how Canadian people act towards each other, and I’m just so grateful that we live up to the stereotype that all Canadians are friendly. We truly are. For instance, my mom was driving on McCowan to turn left into Loblaws and it was rush hour, so McCowan is pretty much was in grid lock and in the middle of the heavy traffic, some kind decent man decided to stop to let my mom make her left turn ( it’s almost impossible with all those cars) and the other car in the other lane stopped too. And of course, all this HAS to follow the risen ”thank you” hand. That’s just rude if noone says thank you. But this just goes to show, people do have common courtesy and there are nice people out there. But if you’re unlucky, you’ll bump into those few selfish assholes that don’t give an ef. Like that guy that called me a bitch at drive thru….
Although Canadians may be known for our friendliness, we are also, I think in my own opinion, famous for — J walking. You go onto Queen Street (or anywhere downtown for that matter) and what the heck do you see people doing? or almost ALL PEOPLE are doing? J-walking. But sorry guys, that’s gotta stop. Including me. I realized that I don’t even check both ways before I walk, because hey, unlike America, pedestrians get the right no matter what. So in my head I would be thinking, “you hit me.. I’m gonna sue your ass and i’m gonna be a 100 grand richer”. Like the other day, I was just crossing the road and technically it’s a crosswalk and cars are suppose to stop, but this car did not stop and stopped only inches from me and for some weird reason, I wasn’t scared at all, but I just kept on taking my dandy walk across the road while eating my carrots. I looked at him, and he did the “what the ef” expression. I just shrugged and kept on walking. because TECHNICALLY, I have the right in the first place.
Anyway, my point is. Canadians are good at J-walking. I wonder if our pedestrians death rate is higher than Americans. It should be…
