A Fun Day that Didn't End Quite Right!

After the chaotic experiment, I sat with Kay (it's friend C from The Events So Far entry - she'll be called Kay from now on to avoid any confusion) in the cafeteria and had our lunches. She proposed the idea of going to Pacific Mall and there we went the next day with her younger sister. Originally, we planned on having lunch at Starwalk buffet but noticed a Japanese buffet restaurant right next to it called Wasabi! Curious, we decided to go inside and were not disappointed by our decision. There, we ordered a variety of dishes and were quite pleased with all of them. We laughed and joked about random things and had a great time.

When the meal ended, we went to Pacific Mall and walked around until our feet hurt. We rested on a bench while eating some Japanese snacks and ice cream. After our little rest, we did some more exploring before heading to the bus stop for home. In the bus, mom called me and asked where I was. When I told her I was in the bus, she said she didn't believe me because my surroundings didn't sound like the interior of a bus. I spent the following 9 minutes having a pointless conversation with her because she was being fussy with the location to meet up. In the end, she finally decided to meet up at Pacific Mall. This decision made me ditch Kay and her sister and forced me to walk back to Pacific Mall (the next bus would arrive about 20 minutes later). I tripped and fell on my way there (scratching the knuckles/joints on my ring finger and pinky of my right hand), but still arrived at the destination within 15 minutes. Mom finally arrived 50 minutes later and I treated her dinner. Afterwards, we went to the supermarket and bought a few items before heading home.

Although the day ended in a painful and slightly bloody manner, I did have lots of fun. Perhaps more people will join us in our next outing and there won't be a need for me to ditch anyone or make another fall!

Lunch, My Treat!

It's been about a month and a half since I started working! Awesome huh? For the first time, I finally did something that I really wanted to since my first paycheck! What is it? It's treating my mom to a meal!! And today, I finally did it!!

When I got off work at three, mom picked me up (to save bus fares). Since we were both a little hungry (I didn't eat anything since last night), we went to Market Village (beside Pacific Mall) for lunch. After we finished ordering, I quickly told mom that I wanted to treat her. As I paid for the order, mom must have been smiling during the whole time because the lady behind the counter exclaimed, "Look at the huge smile on your mother's face!" Mom was still smiling as she said, "Yup! She just started working and is treating me for the first time!"

The meal didn't really cost much, but I certainly noticed how much she enjoyed it. The whole process felt so good! I finally did something that made her happy! It was a small and simple gesture, but I'm sure it's the thought that made her so happy. Seeing her wearing such a huge smile filled me with something that I can't fully describe..was it happiness? pride? or a mixture of both? I can't tell - but whichever it was, it's definately one of the greatest moments of my life!

An Eventful Day It Was!

Yesterday was an awesome day! But...before I start, let's have an overview of the recent events!

As I mentioned in the previous entry, I had a chemistry lab exam the following day. It wasn't too bad at all, since my test involved one of the easiest machines to operate. While taking my time, I managed to finish the entire exam! What else? On the following Monday, I had a psychology assignment due on that day, making me spend part of my weekend working on it! And that's not all! I had a total of three tests scheduled on that week: two on Wednesday and a Biology lab test/exam on Thursday! You can imagine how exhausted I was by the end of that week! Surprisingly, just when I thought I could to catch some sleep, another assignment was due on the following Tuesday, which was yesterday! It was a semi-formal biology lab report on a project that I've been working on for the past few weeks, and it was due yesterday. And so, I pulled a all-nighter and handed it in.

In case you were wondering about the events between me and Teresa...Well there is nothing more to say. In class, I don't say "Hi" to her, nor does she to me. When we see each other in the hallways, we just walk past one another without saying anything - as if we are complete strangers (and I hope it stays this way)! Well enough of the boring stuff, let's get to the main topic!

As I mentioned earlier, there was a report due yesterday. Since there was nothing more to do, class was immediately over! And so, I went to downtown with a few college friends and ate at a sushi restaurant that Friend A (from "Events So Far" entry) strongly recommended. Getting there was an adventure, as we were trying to get into the restaurant before 3 PM. What's the rush? Apparently, this restaurant offered a all-you-can-eat lunch buffet that ends at 3PM (otherwise, they'll charge you with the price for a dinner). Fortunately, we arrived fifteen minutes before the lunch buffet ended, giving us fifteen minutes to order. None of us knew what to order and so, Friend A did the ordering! (We were actually watching her in amazement while she ordered. Apparently, she's been there quite a few times and knew the menu pretty well!) Within minutes, our table was filled with food: from sushi to a variety of cooked dishes, and they all looked so tasty! (I especially recommend the salmon belly! Ask me for the restaurant location if you're interested.) I suppose she ordered a little too much food, as we were struggling to finish them. (The food was freshly made, and so they will charge you if 90% of the food aren't finished)! In the end, we filled our tummies full and the food was gone - all of it! Now, you might think we didn't have room for more, but we still had some left for...ice cream! Two of us had mango (myself included) and the other two had green tea!

During the entire meal, we were laughing and joking with each other as if we were drunk! Most importantly, we had an awesome time and took lots of pictures (for those who know me, check them out at Fb)! Although we had a lecture to attend at 7 PM, we managed to go to Eaton Centre, do a little shopping and return to the campus.

The lunch was actually a departure meal for Friend A, since she's leaving Toronto to study in Regina. The meal definitely served its purpose: a memory we will never forget and laugh about it whenever it comes to our mind!

A Lowlife?

I have been given the biggest insult a person can ever receive. Today, a so-called friend called me a lowlife. Who? Her name's Teresa, the same friend I mentioned in "The Events So Far" entry whom I begged for forgiveness just because I attempted to mend her friendship with friend A (and yes, their friendship is still broken). What happened? While friend C (from "The Events So Far" entry) went to stand in line to use the microwave provided by the school, we continued the conversation about the bag an Asian dude left behind at our table while he stood in line for the microwave. I didn't like it there while she said she didn't mind at all. The conversation magically elevated into an argument where she first called me selfish and later on, a lowlife.

However, what she didn't know is that while I stayed behind to guard the table when she and friend C went to their lockers, the Asian dude just walked up to the table and dropped his stuff on the chair. When I told him that someone is sitting there, he just looked at me, continued to take out his lunch and left his bag while he walked towards the line for the microwave.

Does disliking a situation like that make me a lowlife? Does she even KNOW what a lowlife is at all? I don't even see the point in trying to maintain a friendship with someone so barbarous like her. Fine. She called me a lowlife, then I'll show her what kind of a lowlife I can actually be! Unfortunately, my conscience is stopping me from giving her payback because I know that under ANY circumstances, hurting someone is wrong. Besides, it doesn't solve anything.

No one has ever given me such an insult, and NEVER would I EVER call ANYBODY a lowlife. NO ONE deserves this kind of an insult; calling someone one only shows what kind of a person you are. She better not come looking for trouble, or else I'll DEFINITELY show her my true colours. I don't want to hurt anyone nor do I like to, but somehow she's asking for it. Should I give it to her?
