hide and seek
i was heading off to work like any normal monday, but today appeared different along the way. i was on the bus then it stopped to let passengers in and i saw someone i knew, someone that i was quite familiar with. i was in the back of the bus and he was in the middle, because of the way the bus was structured it would have been difficult for him to see me unless he came to the back as well, but he didn't. i watched him and knew it would have been awkward if he saw me, i would have made really bad small talk with him. he's not a bad person, i just don't know how to create a dialogue with him so i avoided him and hid. once the bus arrived at the station i waited till he and the others left. after that i saw him walk down stairs so i figure that he's not transferring to another bus within the station so on the bus platform i called lemei and told her what happened. she reassured me which was what i needed and also talking to her delays me a bit so hopefully this person went to a train before me. i went down stairs and saw that a lot of people were waiting for the train and thought that perhaps because they were waiting this person i was hiding from can still be there. i hid my body next to a pillar do i won't be seen and the train pulled in. when i went in i saw a metro news paper and quickly grabbed it for some sort of disguise. in worst case scenario they show you how to escape from a bad date by disguising yourself, a skill that's very useful but hard to master...it would be nice to just disappear; vanish, easier on first dates but harder for someone that's familiar. oh well, let us hope this doesn't happen again, it has before so it can again.

the folks just came back from chicago yesterday. they left tuesday last week to visit the older sister and left lemei and i on our own. it was a first time for them to leave us both and though we could have partied up we didn't. the folks are usually loud and it's been quiet without them. it's nice to have some clarity becuase it's never quiet at home. i took two day off last week thursday and friday so i can get things done, i didn't tell the parents cause i know they'd be offended. the weather wasn't the greatest so it was harder to go out albeit to party or run errands. on thursday lemei and i went to three malls and i came out with a new mobile phone. though i didn't get the blackberry i got something more practical and in the end i think i ended up with buyers remorse. currently i'm paying $17.30 for my new phone plan but i thought it would have been more practical if i bought a blackberry and payed for the monthly internet add-ons (total atleast $60.00 per month) because i don't use the phone often and i'm more of a online messenger/web browsing person...i got the phone now and i can't do much to change that. clearly, it will take a while for me to get adjusted.
also it's a month before one of lemei and my cousin's wedding. i haven't figured out what to wear and i'm going dress shopping during my lunch hour. i only get half and hour so the radius would be smaller within work and the stores i would travel to then if i have an hour. i want to find one within this week so if i need things to be tailored i still have time to do so. i don't want to end up wearing work clothes as a last resort.
also, the older sister asked us if we wanted to go to the NKOTB concert that's apparently happening sometimes in september...i told her that i'll go with her, i hope lemei comes too. hey, i never went to the step by step tour back in the days, and they're no longer new kids...whatever.

i shrug on mondays
on sunday evening lemei and i went to hot docs for a screening of this movie called s&m; short and male. we have heard about this film on cbc radio and i thought it would be an interesting film to watch. i bought the tickets on friday morning and i was pretty excited about my "big plan" this weekend. i think what threw me off the most was the ttc strike that occurred late friday evening and the whole day saturday. i was afraid that i wasn't going to be able to watch the film and waste 24 bucks, i'm glad that in the end i had the opportunity to watch it because the film was very interesting.
my folks are heading off to chicago tomorrow, it will be the first time they leave lemei and i alone. i actually like the idea because for once the house will be quite. my parents are pretty loud and it's annoying and it's very hard to find clarity at home...but the food is always good. they've asked us if we wanted anything for them to cook before they go, any dishes to request and we thought of "baby congee" (in translation) it's basically congee with peas, tomato and carrots...yum yum, soft and mushy for a baby. hopefully they don't cook a big pot of that because lemei and i want to order in and also dine out.
i'll be taking thursday and friday off just to run some errands. i think having the house to ourselves will be different in terms of dynamics. i told my work best friend this and he thinks that i'll be having house parties which is not the case at all. i've thought about inviting people to the home but i don't think they will be impressed so that plan is scrapped. as i told my best friend at work i need a few days off to think much like going to montréal... I go there not to party but to think...gosh i'm odd.
one more thing... i'm a foodie♥

lonely music for lonely people
after work on friday i found myself wandering the streets of toronto. i had at least two hours to spare and nothing to do. i walked around front street and decided to head to the cn tower since i've never walked there after work, i just recently found out that it was in front of the cbc building when lemei and i went to go! a few weeks back. as i walked i saw lots of people going there and was wondering if there was a baseball game or not, infact there was so i diverted myself elsewhere.
i later found the future building the company will be moving themselves to sometimes next year...it would be sweet moving to a new swanky building, i can't wait!
i got a chance to met up with lemei, marina and gili later that evening. we went around college to celebrate gili's 25th birthday. wow, we are pretty old now..i should really be getting my shit together...

I Think I'm Paranoid
i ended work early today and took a little walk around the underground. i went over the the next train station, as i swiped my metropass i walked down the escalator and saw that the train i was suppose to board had a lot of people so i didn't bother to go in and decided to wait for the next one. as i waited this fellow approached me and there a strange conversation occurred. he asked me why i waited for the next train when i obviously had enough time to go to he one that had left. he asked was it because i was wearing high heels and i agreed because i was caught off guard and didn't know what to say. i asked him if he was watching me and he said that he was. this conversation was pretty short it probably went as long as minute or so. after that he left and went on his train and i waited for mine. also i didn't act very friendly more suspicious because i didn't understand why someone was observing why i decided not to go on that train.
this past weekend i volunteered for meals on wheels. they called and i said yes. i don't do it often because the last time i did it on a regular basis i had this one crazy driver i thought would kill us both as we're on the road. yeah so i went on the road with this one fellow and i didn't have a problem with him. as i was delivering meals to the clients i encountered this one asian lady and she was pretty oblivious. she kept saying "i don't understand" in cantonese as i was handing her her food. i tried gesturing her that the food was hers but she didn't understand. i can't speak cantonese because that wasn't the language i grew up with (i grew up speaking hakka). after delivering the food to that lady i realized that i should have called my mom and asked my mom to speak to that lady so she had a clue why i was there. later in the evening my mom taught me how to speak in simple cantonese, i learned how to say "i deliver food" so i can apply that when i need to.
last week i was at the office and this one man approached one of the boss lady. he started to talk to her about his sex life and that he had sex days ago and i was sooooo grossed out because he's kind of creepy and ugly. he saw me having an expression of disgust when he was talking about his dirty business and told my boss that i've heard what he said. they laughed at that because they just think i'm a little girl and talks about sex makes me squirm.. it's not the topic of sex that makes me squirmy it's who's talking about it...i don't want to think about some guys i work with having erect dicks *shudder*
