Today I went to the mall during my lunch break to buy an anniversary/Valentines present for Boyfriend. Although I DID buy something for him, I spent 965431345 times more on myself (okay, in my dreams). At least this is my first “big” NOT-online shopping spree in a long long time so I guess that’s somewhat okay. Hehehe. It was fun.

Anyway I got into a routine of snoozing my alarm for an hour, waking up at freaking 6 in the morning, drive to work in a good mood (no traffic), work out, take a nice refreshing shower and do my make up, go down to cafeteria to pick up some fattening bagels with extra cream cheese, an egg muffin, a breakfast wrap, pancakes with fresh strawberries and whip cream, two eggs; sunny-side-up and hash browns to munch on in front of my computer, read Google News, stalk MV, and then start work at 10am. It’s great because I usually get “lazy” by 6, when I get off work and end up going home to pig out and sleep but this way I actually get my excercise and feel better in the morning.

I was just joking about the food (although I wish I weren’t). I usually just get my first bottle of Nutri-V Lemon Green Tea and then eat something fattening for lunch. :shocked: And then more Green Tea afterwards. Nutri-V Lemon Green Tea is the shit.

I discovered this last week so I emailed all the girls and now we have a day trip planned to go to Victoria! I’m so excited.. I haven’t been to Victoria in so long which is kind of sad because we are only a ferry and a billion kilometers away (okay, exaggerating again).

I just accidentally bought another pair of Rocks online today (they were on sale!!). :sorry: “Damnit!”

Edit –
Oh wait, I went to the mall last weekend for round one of his Valentines present as well and I did the same thing I did today. :suspicious:

Boyfriend and I went to eat at O Thai last weekend and the restaurant had a really nice and modern atmosphere. Out of the blue, Boyfriend was like, I want your parents to meet my parents.

I was left utterly speechless.

And then we both burst out laughing.

1. My dad doesn’t talk and his dad doesn’t talk much either.
2. My mom’s mouth never stops and his mom loves to talk as well.
3. My parents only speak Cantonese and Chinglish.
4. Boyfriend’s parents only speak Vietnamese.

Yeeeah. Not gonna happen anytime soon unless we want a little dinner party with one Chinese woman and a Vietnamese woman talking to themselves while two grown men kids slurp their soup in awkwardness. Boyfriend and I won’t be there because we would’ve already ran away long ago. Let’s just save this for near-marriage and we both agreed that that’s not gonna happen anytime soon either.

Speaking of marriage, I totally can’t wait for my wedding (which is totally contradictory to my last statement)! I’m definitely going to have a themed-wedding whether Boyfriend likes it or not and the only reason I’m saying that here is so that no one steals my idea. Hah. My theme is either going to be Old Hollywood or 17th century France/Marie Antoinette era. BUT just watch me get lazy when I do get married and have a so-normal traditional wedding. Damnit. At least I already know who my wedding coordinator and photographer is going to be… let’s just hope they don’t jack up their prices by then. But seriously, no one better start getting ideas from this post. :devil:

But anyway, we both love our parents so don’t take this post too seriously.

My boyfriend’s 4-year-old-nephew, J*, seems to have a little identity crisis going on which has been going on for a while. HE SEEMS TO THINK HE’S BLACK! The thing is that he is Vietnamese. This started when I first got my Wii and a friend (who is brown) made his Mii character named Amaan’s Ass. Now J* got excited when he saw Amaan’s Ass and insisted on choosing him everytime he played a game. Soon enough, he made his first Mii character, and no surprise, IT WAS BLACK.

… and then he made a dozen more, and they were all black.

Apparently they do…

Today I was watching him play Playground Wii (which is his favorite game at the moment), and I asked him which character he was and he replied, “I’m the black guy.” Later, I asked him, “why do you like black people so much, are they cooler than Asians or something?” He answered “yes” in a very matter-of-fact way and then added, “I’m cool, so I’m black too!!”

Hmm.. don’t ask me how this got embedded in his head because I don’t know and I assure you that I have nothing much to do with it.

Edit – I should mention that he’s only 4-years-old. And he doesn’t act like he’s black (I think his mom will kill him).

And today, D* said this to me (he was in fact bragging):

Auntie Katy, guess what? I’m 6-years-old and I have MSN!!

Oh god, soon I’m going to start seeing him on some played-out community like VancouverXchange or something. Sometimes it’s best to keep kids illiterate until they are 16 or so, just so they stay off those things. Just kidding.

“Don’t cut my face!”
“I want to eat the hair part!”
“I want to eat Jakob’s nose!”

fat face ♥’s Will-I-am?

Stealing my grapes!

Took a gazillion pictures but will upload the rest later. Anyway today I tripped over the hammock (don’t ask) and bruised myself all over. There was a bruise under my feet for god’s sake. I think I’m the first person in the world to get a bruise on the ball of my foot because I didn’t even know that was possible. How embarrassing!
