Lovely weekend~~

We're super spoiled this summer! Having such gorgeous weather in Toronto! The past week, our temperature has been higher than Hawaii and even Mumbai!!! Crazi nice! :D

This weekend was soooooo jammed pack! I loved it!

Friday evening was mostly spent with Em, but we picked up my aunt at the airport after a coffee at Starbucks... It was a long night of chatting with everyone, but so fun :)

Sat, Auntie and I went shopping for a bit before I dropped her off at the hair salon, then Em and I went back to RH and had lunch with Em's cous, Katrina (not sure how it's spelt.) Lovely girl who lives in Switzerland... we chatted and had a long lunch, then went home and looked at her beautiful wedding album! The pictures were all soo nice, she was beautiful! :D Afterwards we went shopping with her, looking for things for her in-laws and her husband, found this amazing skateboard (sadly no pictures). The evening ended off with Em and Mel and I shopping at Shopper's for 1+ hours... There were just too many things I wanted to get! XD

Sunday was not laid back either! We woke up at 9am, to have dim sum (which upsets my stomach.) Got back to em's place to get ready for 1) his interview, 2) burn some cds for his sis, 3) pack for the weekend and 4) feed the kids~! What a rush! We went to Pmall to check on unlocking the N97, sad sad news! anyway maybe i can change to the white one... its prettier anyways! Then we went by the book store to get a book for my mom, then we head to Dixie outlet for some shoe shopping (for my cousin) and get some yummylicious Polish sauce (covered with sliced green olives and bacon bits, hmm!!) Afterwards, we went to lakeshore in search for a nice walk with refreshment (ie popsicles) To my disappointment, we went to 3 different stores on lakeshore and did not find the much craved rockets =( Admitting defeat I bought a lemonade from the convenience store and got to the water park... driving into the parking lot we found THE ice cream truck... They had rockets... and I was HAPPI :D The evening had ended off with pizza + bbt for dinner and "Prince of Persia" as a finale.... Great way to end the weekend =)

Alicia Keys - Un-thinkable

Moment of honesty

Someones gotta take the lead tonight

Whose it gonna be?

I'm gonna sit right here

And tell u all that comes to me

If u have something to say

You should say right now

(You should say it right now)

(You ready?)

You give me a feeling that I never felt before

And I deserve it, I think I deserve it

It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore

And I can't take it

I was wondering maybe

Could I make you my baby

If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy

If you ask me I'm ready

If you ask me I'm ready

I know you said to me

This is exactly how it should be when its meant to be

Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually

If we gonna do something about it

We should do right now

You give me a feeling that I never felt before

And I deserve it, I know I deserve it

It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore

It's what we make it

I was wondering maybe

Could I make you my baby

If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy

Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin

If you ask me I'm ready

If you ask me I'm ready

Why give up before we try

Feel the lows before the highs

Clip our wings before we fly away

I can't say I came prepared

I'm suspended in the air

Won't you come be in the sky with me

I was wondering maybe

Could I make you my baby

If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy

Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin

If you ask me I'm ready

If you ask me I'm ready

Montreal, here I come!

Let's hope that the flawless weather is here to stay! Looking forward to my mini vacation~ Hopefully, Saturday won't be too stressful!!~

Ambushing all good food that crosses my path! XD

Questions...

Recently I've been reading a book that was given to my by a very good and important friend in my life. Who Ordered this Truckload of Dung? by Ajahn Brahm is a wonderful book (although I am only halfway done.) It is a book full of short stories that makes you laugh, cry and think. A few days ago I read this story about a king and his 3 questions... Here they are:

When is the most important time?
Who is the most important person?
What is the most important thing to do?

I got the first 2 questions right, but not the last one... After I was done the story I realized what is the most important thing to do...

Can you answer these questions?

I Lost.

When a person cares more than the other, she loses.

I have lost the war, lost myself.

A loser.

Vulnerable.

Why are relationship so unfair? is a 50-50 relationship impossible?

The more you say, the more you do, the more pathetic.

Shutting down...

If you only want to see the fake me, then so be it.

luvvvv sc2!

A little late, but I figure it's better than never!!

Here's two screenshots of my first Sc2 Beta game! :D


Forever faithful to the Protoss!! Adun Toridas~

NERD NERD NERD! ^_^

Eventful and Efficient Weekend

Pho for dinner on Friday *big big happy face* I was able to finish a LARGE pho! wut wut!! it was really good! I really like the spicy sauce, I think my tolerance is increasing! :)

Sat - I let Em sleep in a bit while I spend some time with my mom and grandparents. Ate a bit of breakfast and enjoyed some chinese news, while we talk about silly things... It was nice =) After Em woke up we went to pick up some brunch, but the Hawaiian Bakery place was packed so we end up going to Peter's on Eglinton and had 2 huge sandwiches each! Didn't realized their humongous portions (+ salad + fries + pickle) and excellent service for such a busy day :) we came back for a bit so that eM finishes with my mom's computer then we left for RH. Most of that evening was spend with his family. Melissa got a fabulous haircut, I wish I had long hair that was not damaged, it is so nice to be able to give! It's gonna be years until my hair is long and healthy enough, I always thought my hair is too hard, maybe I need to learn to take better care of my hair... [any tips??] Most of the night we were just bumming around but we managed to have a small talk :)

Sunday I cleaned the kids cage and let them out a bit, in the morning it seems that nova is more skittish and Ion is too groggy to care... they act sooo different at different time of the day... love them soo muchie XD We then had lunch with Em's family and we packed up and fixed Anthony's computer and went back to Sauga where we set up my computer!! :) After 6 years of not having my own desktop I have one... that works well and I can play SC2 on! :) Exciting stuff for me! After snacking on some leftover from Peter's we went rollerblading at a park near Port Credit and mommy took some silly pictures of us! I didn't fall, but I can't say the same about Em... haha.. I don't feel that I can be as adventurous as I am on snowboard. At least with snowboarding you're falling on snow... although sometimes that can be painful too...

We ended off the weekend watching Iron Man 2 last night. The perfect way the end the weekend... Unfortunately, we were both 'hot air' so we didn't end up getting the Cheetos we sneaked in =( bummers! Despite the Cheetos it was still a good movie and a great night...

Bag of goodies!

After months (actually it's been a whole year) I finally found the perfect combination of goodies (makeup.) This is what's in my makeup bag these days... I finally got the Urban Decay eye primer that has received so many good reviews. From Clinique I've found several things I like which includes the: Moisture Surge, Bronzer, eye concealer and blemish concealer, but my FAVOURITE piece is still the High Impact Curling Mascara... It is oil-proof and is removed with warm water... Having very oily skin, the raccoon eyes have always been a big issue for me! Also for the lips I'm using Mary Kay's lip balm, I already love the color of my lips, but I can do without the chap lips ^_^ There is a Smashbox highliter that is currently my fave, cuz the peachy colour is just right!! and the Lise Watier cream eyeshadow is also awesome.... :) and this is my list!

My fave verse from the bible...

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."

-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

I get this feeling that I'm talking to a wall... But then again, posting on my blog is almost like talking to a wall. I am not really expecting a response. It's a space that I can freely express myself and maybe give a glimpse of whats going on for those who cares enough (or is bored enough) to read.

I really miss the old days when things were much simpler... Wish I could go back to the time before boys... haha...

Pumas!!

After the purchase of my 1st pair of puma (lasting me a good 7 years) I fell in love with their shoes!! so far I have had:

- 2 x all white
- white + blue
- grey
- black
- white + gold
- white + tan/olive
- white + orange
- beige
- white + black (an impulse purchase that didn't fit and was eventually given to my little cousin)

OMG... 10 pairs? I gotta take a picture of all of them!! actually i've tossed out my first pair a few years ago cuz it was so beat..... hm... dang!

Last year's paycheck... where did it go?

Yesterday we talked about how I need to save money so that I can eventually afford a house. Here's a thought: I've been working full-time for a year now and I don't actually have much savings... that's pretty... bad... ( being Chinese and all) So where did the money go!?

- 1st off, my OSAP loan...
- 2 netbooks (1 for me and 1 for grandpa)
- 3 cell phones (1 of which is just paperweight and the other was for my brother)
- parts for my desktop + monitor
- snowboarding gears
- rollerblades
- 2 pair of glasses + contacts
- I've also taken 2 trips to Montreal + 2 trips to Buffalo...
- new rims and tires for my Corolla!!

OMG... everything but the OSAP are frivolous expenses...

I guess now that I have a goal (condo!!!!) I finally have something to save for.... but DAMN... all that money wasted...

Is it over?

When romance leaves the relationship, what is left? When that passion, that need to see the person cease to exist, is it the end?

Poppyseed cupcakes!

Last night after finishing SATC Ronnie and I baked 32 cupcakes... most of the mini ones ended up in our tummies, but we did manage to put some pretty ones aside for Mum's day... Don't know how long they will last tho... Last night I just gave my grandma and mom theirs.... I hope they liked it~ :D the minis were soooooo cute!


(we forgot to take pictures of the cupcakes after they were baked... so here's a photo of them before... ^_^)

Mind Reading

Thinking about Kino's Journey. That one 'country' where people can read each other's mind and know what the other is thinking without having to say it out loud.

It would be horrible, yet relieving at the same time. How I wish...

Going on my own little rollercoaster ride

Up.... and down!

I finished all 6 seasons of SATC plus watched the deleted scenes and the farewell.... All that's left is the seminar and I'm pretty much just waiting for the movie... What am I going to do with the extra time? Clean my room and read more books!

Got this icky feeling I will be losing my job soon... just waiting for the whole thing to collapse. I don't know why I keep seeing cookies crumbles when I think of my situation... hmm.. it's the inner Cookie monster in me! I love that blue monster...

Ooh! Found some random pictures on my friendster of Cookie monster and just want to post them, I have been kind of lazy at uploading new ones lately... As a matter of fact I haven't been taking any pictures at all... except for the past weekend, there weren't much... I used to love snapping pictures here and there and I'd have folders and folders of pictures on my phone... What happened...

Anyways, I wanted to put on my contacts and some makeup today but the mood isn't there... hmm~~ I still love my makeup tho! :)

A different kind of weekend...

Places I visited this weekend... :D

• Jack Astors
• Woody's
• Ichiban Sushi House Restaurant
• Ten Ren's
• Bayview Court Chinese Restaurant
• Shoxs
• Oasis

I do realize that 2 of those are bubble tea places... I guess it's the Chinese in me... can't stay away from tea... lols...

Friday night we went downtown for some drinks with eM's colleagues~ It was fun! Everyone was so nice even though I didn't know any of them yet... It was fun to meet new people. :) Actually it was a weekend of meeting new ppl in general. I have finally meet Ruth's boyfriend Sunday night.... We had dinner, a few drinks, shot pool and played Jenga while drinking bubble tea... Two successful nights which was uber fun, loaded with laughter and happy happy feelings...
The only weird looks I earned were from my best friend Sahan...


Spring brings a new leaf and new beginnings~
