Books Sale

I realized the older I get, the more I resemble my mom - loving books so much.

I mentioned before my office is just next to the vancouver central library right? Well, today I walked past it and there's the books sale (where they sell the old books that the library has... sort of like getting rid of the old inventory and make room for new books). The books are reasonably priced I will say. Most are selling as $2.50. some paperpack is only $0.75. DVD/CD is $2.50 each. I paid $10.75 for 5 books. Not bad... er... but I have over spent my book expense this month. I think I have spent like $52 this month (including e-books from Amazon), and I have only budgeted $20 per month.... oh boy oh boy.... should I reset my budget for books per month? I realized my hunger is getting stronger and stronger each month. HOW???!!!

I bought 5 books.... aiyoh... if not because i can't carry it back, I would have bought more. They dont even provide plastic bags. Yiu...

I thinking of going back again... should I?:p

I bought one book that look as if it is new, it is The Age of Turbulence by Alan Greenspan (about U.S. economy)!! And that's the reason I buy it actually. Hahahaha... the other 4 books are relating to tax in Canada. I realized I am very into the tax details (and trust me, the canada tax system is the most complicated tax system I have seen so far!), I want to learn more... and there are so much to learn, we are suh a newbie to the tax system here!! And because the information is so vast, accountants is not much use in this sense, because they can't remind us and warn us on everything. Best is I know everything myself. Ganbatte!!

It is such a wonderful weather out there. I am going out for another walk~:) Bye~

Young and Naive and Stupid days

I am reading this book "Something Borrowed" by Emily Giffin. I am loving the story! hehehe.... I have a sick crave for story that has a sick turn (sleeping with best friend's fiancee). I know I know.. sometimes I am sick:p

So, if unknowingly you have been falling in love with your college friend whom you know for so many years, but you didn't know you got feelings to him and he got feelings in you, and you introduced him to your best friend, and they are now engaged and the big day is 3 months away, and you were drunk and you slept with him "accidentally" first time. But then you guys still keep msg each other, email each other, and he keeps on seeing you (and hook up "genuinely" this time) without your bossy best friend knowing it, will you still allow all these to happen???

I seriously don't know... It is morally incorrect but Moral seems grey in color in love, don't you think so?

When I was young (very young) and naive, I have similar encounter. No, I do not have a best friend who is getting married and whose fiancee is in love with me and whom I hooked up with during one drunk night, my story is simpler. But I have a colleague whom he claimed his love with his gf has been dying and drying and he is considering getting out of it. I had good feeling towards this guy, and although it is wrong, I secretly wish their romance will end soon because I can sense that he has good feeling towards me too. So, on the night of the Valentine's Day, he called me, and he told me they were through. I was having a mixed feeling that time, I mean it is so cruel to end a relationship on the V-day, and yet, I was happy that this means that there is nothing come between us anymore. I was thrilled at the thought, at the opportunity. But well, turns out that our "romance" was only alive for few months. I got my karma that I deserved (at least that was what I felt that time, and still think so even at today), he ditched me for another girl (but he denied there's someone else even though my spy already confirm with me there is this girl there. I wonder did he deny my existence on the last V-day to the poor ex). And instead of cruel-ly break up with me on a Valentine's Day (then it will be the exact karma, haha), he didn't have the guts to break up with me face-to-face, instead he chose to break up with me over the phone!!!! OMG, til this date, I still hate his tikus-ness. Anyway, I have overed him for many years liao lah, when I think back, I will laugh at my naiveness and stupidness, and feel sorry for the bad karma that got back to me. This kind of guy, will repeat his unfaithfulness till don't know what age.

Sometimes I scold my bui bui also. I said, "how come u don't make the "meeting me" happened earlier to save me the trouble of being heart broken by some asshole or me breaking heart of some poor soul? Can't you appear sooner so we can save all these trouble?".  Bui bui will look at me "cluelessly". hahahaha... I just love my bui bui:) He is really my soulmate:) And he is really the one. I knew that he is the ONE the seconds I agree to be his gf:))

Eh-hemm.... wanted to introduce a book to you jeh... how come I blurted my history out?! well well well... those were the days, the young and naive and stupid days... :-)

gay-butt man

What do you think of guys walking with the butt giap tight tight and shaking left to right and right to left, and wear a pants that is too tight for his meaty butt?

I think he is sooo gay............................. but he is not. And this contradiction kills me! Or maybe he is, or maybe he is bi-sexual.

I have no issue with gay, I have few great friends they are gay and we get along fine, and my best friend is a gay. But I cannot tahan this freaking gay-butt man in my company!!!!!! I want to puke when I see him walk.

Help!!!!!!!!!!

My hatred towards left turn

I managed to drive Jay to airport, and drove myself home on Friday. Very proud of myself. Maybe some of you might be curious, "you have been driving so many years in KL like a mad woman, and you afraid of driving here??"... You guys just don't understand some traffic rule here is so annoying... like left turning, you can turn on green light if no opponent car is coming. If there are cars, then u have to move forward cross the pedestrian line to wait to turn at ORANGE light. And if you not managing well, like if u happened to be day dreaming at that split second of green turning orange and orange turning red, then you are SCREWED! By screwed, I mean you will be cursed by the pedestrian crossing road because your car is in their way, and if your car is too in front, you pose threat to the traffic on left and right side. I tell you, I hate road with left turn signal. And if you want to go straight, but your fellow drivers in front want to turn and there are million of opponent cars, and he has to stop for his turn, then you KENA!! You will be trapped in the line (you want to go straight), you tried to give signal to come out of the line? Good luck to you, because if there are cars on the next lane, just by giving signal, they think you are trying to threat them and they will hon you. I HATE THE DRIVERS here!!!!!!! They are so tikus!!!!!!!!! I want to kill them sometimes. HUH!!!!!!!!!!

I told Jay before... if the destination is all the way straight and consists of right turning only, then I will drive. But I cannot drive there alone, because what ever right turn I made on the way there, on the way coming back, sure terbalik one, meaning there will be left turn. And thus, I cannot, and I won't drive. hahahha... Jay also very sayang me, sometimes I see him tired, I offered to drive, he will say, "That's alright, I can handle it... I don't want you to stress."

And I am so glad I can take skytrain to go to work and no need to drive. Asking me to drive to downtown is worse than asking me to drive in KL for traffic jam and under the massive heat. I hate the road to downtown, there are many potential left turns!!! And there are only 2 lanes, u either go on the left, posing threats to be blocked by people want to turn left, or you go on the right lane, where there are so many BIG HOLES caused by big trucks here. (And you think the hole caused by big lori only happened in Malaysia? haha)

So tell me... why this country make the left turn rule so like hell????

Good Friday

Tomorrow is an off day, Good Friday.

Quite yum gong also, work for so many months since Jan 1, only get this second holiday for a day off.

Last time work in Shanghai, kept complaining Shanghai has no holiday. Well, wait til u work at this side of the world, then only you know what does "no holiday" really mean.

I really MISS Shanghai life~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What am I gonna do this Good Friday? Watch TV alone at home loh... so bored, and bui bui will be at KL already that time. Sigh.

I miss my Shanghai Gang friends too... over here, is not easy to find friends who can click with me. Not like the gang in Shanghai, all crazy and same frequency as me... here.. so far have not found a close-matched frequency species yet. Where The Hell Are You???!!!!!!

One of my close friend here said to me, "why don't you go to church? Then you will meet more people there." What? Is it a trade? For me to have more friends, I have to fake fake go church even though I no longer believe if He is there at all or not?? You gotta be kidding me. 听了就反感。

:(

Devils at night...

Last night at 9pm:
Bui Bui, "... Honey... do you want to share half a donut with me?"
Me, " no thank you. Stop tempting me.... I am very fat already..."

After half an hour...
Bui Bui, "you sure you don't want to gandiao that donut now? It might not taste as good tomorrow..."
Me, "no thank you!"

How do I stay away from snacking at night, with bui bui keeps tempting me?

Two nights ago, at 10pm:
Bui Bui, "I really want to drink that tomyam soup now.... with an egg, shall we?"
Me, "I not that hungry wor..."
Bui Bui, "come on, it is just soup... water.. liquid.... nothing else."
Me, ".... ok......." (my weak soul gave in.... again....)

eeeeeee.......................

I want to start my teeth brushing schedule at 9pm already, like that he won't be able to tempt me to eat again after that. I am the type of person won't brush teeth for more than 1 time at night nor will I go to bed with the unbrushed teeth (which bui bui tempted me to do many many times).

Deep

From a scene in the movie Legion, "You gave Him what he asked. I gave Him what he needed. That is the difference".

This is so... don't know how to describe... deep!

downtown event

Went downtown for dimsum over the weekend. And saw this..

It was windy, cold, and they are in "skirt"... pity them leh... and some of them are older age. aiyoh....

Bui Bui

My bui bui is going back to KL to do something. This means, I am left alone here.

It is just a week, but I feel so 不舍得. I will miss him terribly in that one week.

Since when I have become so dependant on him? I really don't like it this way... But, how to change ah? :(

Electronic toothbrush

Lately, I went for tooth-scaling. It's covered under my company's healthcare insurance. So, I am happy. It is just that the plague was quite hard on my front lower teeth (always like that) and when the dentist did the cleaning I was feeling very uncomfortable.

So, I went home, think for 2 days, and I bought this Oral B electronic toothbrush. First time I am using electronic toothbrush. And I forgot everything with "electronic" I ought to recharge it before first use. So, I excitedly prepare to brush my teeth with this toothbrush on first night, tak jadi because no electric. Yiu... I have to continue my excitement on day 2.

So, what do I feel about this after using it? I think the vibration is a bit too strong... i didn't expect this... so, it comes in a surprised to me. I go deh my bui, and he said, "u lah... figure small small but always like to use big big things... then how? if you don't want to use, I use ge lah"...  -_-"

Do you use electronic toothbrush? Do you have my same concern? It vibrates at that speed, won't it make our teeth loose?? Advice is needed!

蜗居2鲜花朵朵

我最近天天在追看“蜗居2鲜花朵朵”。主要是因为有海清（剧里头的三朵），实在喜欢看她拍戏。第一次看她的戏还是妈妈介绍的“双面胶”。好看得不得了！！

如果你有7个女儿（就像戏里），每个女儿性格都不一样，都有不同的故事，那你做父母的，肯定也像戏中的他们一样瞎操心。

里面有一对词，是匡三黑（爸爸）说的，“你就算到了80岁，我一样是你父亲，一样有权利管你！”听着觉得有一点熟悉，不就是我妈妈曾经说过我的吗？哈哈。

我觉得戏里三朵的老情人，如果能够挑个英俊潇洒像RAIN这样的男人来演就完美了。他们选的这个男人，很老了！！很uncle的感觉。看多了很没劲！

My Bui

Sometimes I think my bui bui is not from earth... he is very "unique"...

like he cannot pronounce fish in mandarin as yu. He will pronounce as yee... so I ngeh ngeh go trained his mouth shape... but he seems to have difficulty to make the yu sound... he said it is his tooth problem. I don't think so loh. I think he never used that part of the mouth muscle for this yu sound... so weird..

then, he sometimes have certain questions that will shock u. Incident as follow:

Bui Bui, "babe, how do we know this month has 30 days or 31 days?? I always confused"
Me, " -_-", you mean you never learn this when you are young???????" (my mind memang has lots of question  marks at that time!)
Bui Buim "Oh you mean there is a way to remember this? Teach me teach me!"
Me, "-_-"... hold up your fist.. count the nuckles... the one pops up is 31 days, the one went in is 30 days. And July and August has the same repeated nuckles so they have 31 days"
Bui Bui, counting on his fist's nuckles... when he counted July, August, instead of terbalik the sequence, he went back to the first nuckle again, whcih make Sept has 31 days.."
Me, almost blown up with impatient, "AIYOH!!!!! LOOK AT ME! I ONLY DO IT ONE TIME FOR U AH!"
Bui Bui, like a kindergarten student, look at me interestingly when I teach him how to count.

Why my be is like that one??

And then here comes his next question:

Bui Bui, "How do you know the Feb has 28 days or 29 days?"
Me... memang bengam liao... "AIYOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT LAH YOU!!!!!!! DIVIDE THAT YEAR BY 4, IF CAN DIVIDE TOTALLY MEANS 29, IF CANNOT, MEANS 28 DAYS LAH!!!!!"
I memang no patient liao that time, I went to kick his ass....

Sigh.. but I still love him. Maybe kena bomoh liao -_-"
