Olympic 2012

I really don't like Olympic.

It makes me think back the difficult time in 2008... when we  lose our dad. 4 years ago, at this time, I think we were busy going to hospital to be with my dad, though he already in coma. I am not even sure if it is a coma, because it is a man-made one, because they need to make him unconscious to put through the tube into his lung from his mouth so he can "breath"... so, is it coma? Anyway....

This four-year-once thing is really a cruel constant reminder... though I get better each year dealing with another year without dad, the scar will be forever there.

I really miss my dad... :(

Answer: My boss!!!

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding....

I've Got Your Number

"I've got your Number", by Sophie Kinsella.

This book is so fun to read!!!!!!! I just got it yesterday from the library (it's brand new some more! haha, but I waited on waiting list for few months I think), and I am half way through today already.

I read it on skytrain, can't help myself but to laugh at some of the parts. hahahaha.....

I am really enjoying life without study and exam, for a short moment :-D

Speechless

I think my boss craves for the feeling of having a slave that does all his personal stuff, including dealing with his good friend.

He called me just now, asked me to call his friend to give her the address for tonight's dinner, and asked me to tell her where to park the car. In doing so, he has to give me her best friend's phone number.

I seriously cannot think of the logic behind this. Except that it makes him feels like he is a God by having someone do this kind of thing for him.

I am sooo speechless.

100%, and Kayaking

The unimaginable has happened. I got 100% for final!!!!!!!

I never realized it is possible to have 100% for an exam that is not multiple choice. I am sure I left out some important points in the last legal questions, so there's only one explanation to this 100%. The instructor has to mark leniently so some of the students will not fail. hahahaha...

Some students are really kanasai one. The guai low I told you before? 10 min before the exam, he asked other people how's the preparation. Ppl said "OK". Then he said, "I only studied for 1 hour today. This stuff is very common sense." I hate people whose nose is pointed towards the sky. WTF.... Then the korean student (the one got 31% last time), emailed me 2 hours before class, said she did not have the answers to one of the quiz. I thinking, of course you don't, you were late that day, and when you came in, you did not even listen to the lecture, you were busy texting as usual, in Korean, with your friend/boy friend. Sigh....

I am not trying to be nerd here. I just thought you should be responsible to yourself in whatever you are doing, that includes study. Anyway, I told her I will be in the class 20 minutes before the exam, so she can look at my answer.

I felt so relaxed after the exam. We went for kayaking with friends yesterday. It was fun, although it comes at a price - muscle pain. hhehehee....

We saw two sea lions sunbathing. So cute!!!! It was one big, one small. I think it is a father and son. And few sea gulls too... Anyway, the weather was not very good yesterday, but we already reserved the kayak, so we went. It was better this way actually, if the wearther is sunny, Bui will complain too hot lah, melted lah, he can't breath lah, sweating too much lah. As it turns out, just not lots of sunshine, few rains (like 10 min only), and other than that, is OK. hehehe... there are a few motor boats crossing the sea... when they are near, the waves are big... and Bui will be gun cheong, coz he can't swim. We were afraid the boat might tip, but turned out ok. I really should get Bui to go learn swimming. Makes me worried every time we have water activities.

Final is next week!!

Ikea and Ah bui

Because of moving to new place, we have been making frequent trips to Ikea.

Our shoe rack, bathroom cabinet, living room cabinet, curtain rod, curtain, lights, are all from Ikea. Sometimes when I am halfway screwing the cabinet, I will blurt out "I HATE YOU IKEA!!!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!"... because, let's be honest, the screwing job is not that easy as it seems. Sigh.... and sometimes towards the last step, only realized they do not provide the blardy screws that hook the item to the wall. Kanasai or not??

Anyway, I have never see my Bui lose control either outside or at home. But, yesterday, I first time witness my Ah Bui can lose control too, if it is about his food. (Hahahahhahaa.... oh dear...). Yesterday is the second time, due to time constraint, we eat at Ikea. They have this roasted chicken set that my ah bui wanted to try but never get to have, because, at both times that he ordered (different day some more), it was out of stock, and need to wait dunno like half an hour like that. Ah Bui is very 执著 when it comes to food. He scolded the waiter first time few weeks ago, he told them if it is out of stock, should remove the item from the Menu, or stick a "out of order" sticker or something like that. Yesterday, is the second time he tried to order this item and the waiter told him no more, have to wait. So Ah Bui quite angry already, but still manage to  hold it, and said, OK, I WILL WAIT. The stupid Waiter (korean old lady), after bui said he will wait, still ask him "would you like a beef?". She is really inviting a kaboom of land mine. First of all, Bui does not take beef. Secondly he already said he will wait. And then, of course bui said, "I don't eat beef. I already said I will wait.". Then they just ignored him. U know the stupid ikea cafeteria line up ge lah, like in prison like that, the line needs to keep moving after you take your order. So Bui is confused, how is he supposed to wait???? He asked the other waiter, how is he going to wait? The waiter told him he has to come back. Then bui turned to me, "how am I supposed to know when to come back???? got timer????". I tell u ah, bui never 发这么大的脾气. He was really pissed off. First time he lose cool in front of me, is because of food. hahahahaha... I have to hold my laughter and at the same time tried to act serious in front of him. Then bui threw the plate aside, said, "Screw you. I won't eat here." BUt then ah, I already ordered my meatball set. hahahhahahaa... at the end, he has to wait for me to finish the meatball. It was very funny, and yet I heartache for him also. Heartache because my teddy bear face hubby was so pissed off by Ikea cafeteria. And this Ikea also one kind, how can the stupid roasted chicken  always be out of order????? I suspect they never have this on menu!!!!! I purposely eat for 30 min there, and observe ppl tray. None of them have chicken. Meaning it was till out of order after30 min. Ikea, really u are no good!!!

My cute ah bui....

Ikea... I suspect their business is very good. Because got one item I wanted to buy, but our car was fully loaded that time, so I said I will come back next trip for it. But it was out of stock!!!! The last time I see it still has 12 sets (it is a cabinet). Just 5 days difference, it is out of stock. WAH.... when I asked them when is the stock coming, they said, "2 weeks time, but no gaurantee.". Is this the way you supposed to freak out your customer???? Can't you take initiative to check with other location see got or not? (there's another Ikea, 30 min drive from the one we frequently go) Can't you offer to take your customer phone number and give a courtesy call when the item arrived? Can't you say "you can pay first, we will order for you, when it arrives, we will call you"... things like that??? I suspect Ikea's business is too good, that they forgot the fundamental rule in business -- Customer Rules!!!! Tiu u ikea. You think you very good? You won't go far with your attitude.

Thanks for it's out of stock on that cabinet, we decided NOT to have that item. We thought of the other alternative. Even better. We will return the two doors that we bought, and then thanks for your rude but innocent customer service, you just saved us $200. Yay~~~~

I shall show you our finished products next week :)
