Having a Good Memory

I don't know if I was born with a good memory or I developed it on my own as I grew up? I don't have the type of memory where if you show me a deck of cards in random order and I can memorize it, I wish I could. It'll probably scare off even more people. My type of memory is if there was an event, I'll remember certain details of the event. I'll also remember what people said to me years ago. I remember what people used to wear (some, not all). I remember who most of the people are but they have no clue who the BEEP I am. There are pros and cons to having a good memory.

I'm happy that I have a good memory because I like getting praised from people for it. I can remind people what happened in the past but this particular friend would always argue with me that no such thing happened. Um, ya, it did happen, don't fight with me on this, you know I'll win lol. I have pictures to proof some of them too. =) I'll remind people the reason why they told me about something super random. For example, my friend forgot why she told me she has a papaya at home. I told her because the TV at the restaurant was showing this sweet soup with papaya. She said she has a papaya and can make that at home too. A lot of my friends have a 3 second or less memory lol! I hope they won't forget me.

However having a good memory isn't always good. This is probably the #1 reason why I don't like having a good memory. I hold onto sad/bad memories as well. Something I want to let go of and never want to remember. I don't always think about it but I'll remember everything deep down. Sometimes I would think about every single thing that happened in order. As if I'm trying to tell myself never to forget these horrible stuff, NEVER!

How I wish there were some kind of potion that I can drink and forget all the bad memories (like in movies). If possible I wish I've never met some of these people in my life! Well, if it's not them, I won't learn to tell the difference between good and bad people. But I will not thank them anymore, they don't deserve my kindness. What those people did, it will return to them! 

This is a joke (I guess?), friends are like be careful what you say to Cin, she will remember it. Don't say anything bad to her. But it's true, if you say something mean to me I'll remember it for life. I may get back at you for it (only people I dislike). Beware... 

There may be more goods and bads about having a good memory but that's all I can think of right now. I can probably type a detailed story on certain events but don't think I will. I rather spend more time on my drama/series/movies/life.

Typed in August. Is it me or is time going by a bit too fast?

Random moment, she has a low singing voice. I like this song from the drama I'm watching. For me, take out the last 3 words of the song title lol. Didn't spend much time on lyrics, no time.
HANA菊梓喬 - 忘記我自己
"緣份拼貼我共你 風景與日期

奮力來面對災難 原來我記住你 便忘記 我自己 沿途風雪浪急 我未會貪生怕死 做錯亦錯得起 閒話全部不理 有生之年我伴你飛 從頭去發現你 愈神秘 更自欺 沉淪得快樂請你別要伸手救起 烈火燒傷了自己 輸賭我運氣 無悔窮盡我的儲備 自願甘心筋竭力疲"

Off the Grid Waffle Review

My friend found this place and we have always been wanting to try but never had the chance. It's located on Kingsway, near Burnaby. As you can tell from the name, it's a waffle place. It's not a very big place. There were some people in there when we got in and it got busier after a bit. My friend thought the place would be prettier, I thought it was ok. I'm not sure but I think each table has a Jenga set for people to play with. I thought it was cool but then when it falls, it's quite loud.

Anyways, I ordered the cappuccino waffle shake ($7) and my friend got the strawberry nutella waffle cup ($5). Both were nicely presented.

The cappuccino shake, it had the cappuccino taste and it wasn't overly sweet to the point where my throat hurts. The shake felt thickish to stir but it was ok when drinking. The lady finger and waffle was a bit soggy from the drink, only the part that was touching it. Their waffle wasn't bad. It had a light buttery taste, a soft and tiny crispy texture and it taste ok on its own without any sauce/dipping. The cream on top had no taste, I thought it would be sweet or something but I guess it would make the drink overly sweet.

The strawberry nutella, I thought it looked like a fancy version of an ice cream sundae. My friend said it's just alright but their waffle is good. There were 3 pieces of waffles and a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with nutella sauce, sprinkles and strawberries on the side.

 

When we were enjoying our sweets we looked over to see how they made the shakes. I knew milkshake were made with ice cream but I didn't know you need that much ice cream... Guess how many scoops my drink had? 4 scoops. Don't worry, I'm not freaked out by it, I'm not one of those crazy health people. If I was I wouldn't even be eating out. "If you plan to do something, don't be scared. If you are scared then don't do it." 4 scoops may sound a lot but I eat a cup of ice cream at home sometimes, no biggie right? It's not like we eat that much everyday.

Overall, I thought it was pretty good. I think I would come back and try their pizza waffle but the place is far from home. I thought my shake was worth the price. You can't get 4 scoops of ice cream anywhere for $7 lol. Good thing I didn't eat breakfast, that was my brunch.

Oh, I wish their straw for the shake was harder/stronger, it was hard to stir because the straw felt kind of "weak".

Flight Attendant

I was reading a post on flight attendants beauty secrets on MSN and thought of something. I have never thought of being a flight attendant before but I've always wanted to work at the airport after watching "Triumph In the Skies". I wanted to be Myolie's role, the people that walks around the airport and help customers/visitors around the airport (and drive those cars!). Not sure why but I thought it seemed like a great helpful role. I like helping people, gives me a good feeling (sometimes). It will just be another dream of mine. =)

Anyways, I never wanted to be a flight attendant but people around me, especially my ex manager keep suggesting me to apply for it. That's because she thinks I'm tall and look ok (I'll use "ok" because I don't think I'm pretty). I did think about it afterwards but I don't see myself being a flight attendant, I'm tired of dealing with customers from retail. And I'll be dressed in uniform with sheer brown/black tights (Oooh), dragging a carry on luggage and walking around like "oh I'm so cool and beautiful" (fling my hair). I don't think that's "Cincin". Well, I dress like that sometimes at work, not in a uniform though.

Plus, I know it will be a stressful job, dealing with customers. I always see flight attendants all caked up with makeup, I don't like that much makeup on me, I like something more natural. I never had good skin so my skin will probably get worse up in the sky. Most flight attendants are pretty "fit", do you know how hard it is to always keep a good figure? I have been doing exercise for months and I'm still fat like a pig. It's gonna be super hard for me because I love to eat with no diet (life is too short for diets). I will also have a messed up sleeping pattern which I do not want.

One good thing about being a flight attendant is maybe a chance to meet a hot pilot LOL! Nah, the best thing is to travel to different places. If you know me, I love to travel, just wanna go everywhere in this world, if possible, before I get too old. You pretty much get "paid" to travel, not bad right? However, you probably go to the same places a million times (not sure).

There are always pros and cons to everything.

Typed in June, so long...

Random moment, song from "Triumph In the Skies". I like the first one more than the second one. Sequel are always not that good for some reason, I guess we have too much expectations? Hmm, sounds like me again.
陳奕迅 - 歲月如歌
"愛上了　看見你　如何不懂謙卑
去講心中理想　不會俗氣
抱著你　我每次　回來多少驚喜
也許一生太短　陪著你
情感有若行李　仍然沉重待我整理
天氣不似預期　但要走　總要飛
道別不可再等你　不管有沒有機
給我體貼入微　但你手　如明日便要遠離
願你可以　留下共我曾愉快的憶記
當世事再沒完美　可遠在歲月如歌中找你
再見了　背向你　眉頭多少傷悲
也許不必再講　所有道理
抱著你　我說過　如何一起高飛
這天只想帶走　還是你"

Kamamarui Ramen and Don Review

My friend was looking around to see what is good to eat. She wanted to try this place. It's located somewhere in Burnaby. It's a super tiny ramen place. When we got there it was packed and it was only 5ish pm. We had to wait a bit. We sat at the bar (or we had to wait even longer), normally I don't like sitting at the bar because it's a bit awkward. Feels like someone is looking at you while you eat.

I thought the people were really nice, the girl asked if we need to refill our tea. I think they were Korean instead of Japanese. My friends spotted Korean on their memo on the side.

I ordered the tonkotsu ramen ($10) and my friends ordered the miso ramen ($10). We had a choice of regular or rich broth. We all had the regular (I should have tried rich). The wait for the food was kind of long. They gave us these seaweed like stuff, I thought it was good. My friend said it's like the ones you get at Costco.

My ramen, I thought the taste wasn't that strong so if you like something plain ish not so salty, this would be good. The soup wasn't thick enough to really stick on the ramen. The noodle had a good texture though. The egg wasn't really flavoured as well but it's ok. I like their chashu, the first slice, it was kind of pan fried on one side (caramelized) so it had a nicer flavour to it. The bottom slice didn't have it or maybe it was in the soup for too long? The seaweed on the side is just seaweed. =)

There were 3 different sauces that you can add into the ramen, chili sauce, ramen sauce, and spicy sauce. I tried the last 2 sauces and liked the ramen one more. The spicy was just too spicy. No need to try chili sauce. My friend thought the ramen sauce was like a satay sauce.

Hm...I don't think I would come back again. It was ok but I had better ramen somewhere else and location is far for me. I had ramen where their eggs were really marinated and the soup wraps around the noodle, giving it enough flavour for every bite. My friends thought it was good because she doesn't want to eat something too salty in the hot weather. We were like sweating bullets while eating...

Super random but they were playing the song "Attention", I told my friend I like this song. I hear one of the cooks singing "you just want my attention". When I thought the song ended, it replayed again, I guess they liked it too lol.

Blu Bee Bee Bee Bee

I have no idea why but almost every drama/series/movies that I have watched since the beginning of the year talks about people breaking up and getting back together after a bit. Can't they write about something else? Write how they can never get back together ever again and make it as sad as possible?

We actually have a lot of TV/music celebs or hockey players that comes look at our products at work. Obviously I don't recognize any of them because I don't really watch TV. If you are super duper famous then maybe I'll know.

This guy from the repair company doesn't come anymore. I don't miss him but he is very nice and it's always him when we need to fix something at work. I wonder if he still works there because he was training this other guy the last few times. Oh well, I always meet people and never see them ever again.

Hm...a guy customer came in with his mom and grandma. When they were getting out of the car I saw him open the back door for his grandma and helped her out. I thought that guy is not bad. But he was trying to look cool and didn't say bye to me when he left so he isn't that good.

Uh, a hole! One of the chef's student came last time and he came again. I said hi and he didn't say anything or smile. Uh, no manners! I hate people with no manners. I don't say hi to him anymore or hide so don't have to see him. Can I see a new student next time? I don't want to see that guy again. (Dude, he came like 5 times already, can I please see someone new?)

The chef keeps saying I haven't been making anything and he was hoping for some of my baking. Honestly, I lost interest in baking (kinda). I don't have ideas on what to make anymore. If I do, I feel lazy and no time to make it. Since January I have no mood to bake. I only bake when I'm asked to. Manager said we are gonna be making jam and Christmas cookies soon. Yay... I'm not excited at all...

My co-worker said I'm 80lbs. Uh, I wish I was, I'm way more than that. Actually, I don't wish I was 80lbs, that is underweight for me.

I was walking around downtown one day and they had this weed festival thing. I held my breath the whole way down that part of Robson. I'm not sure why people like weed but I dislike it a lot. I hate that smell and I'm super sensitive to smell that I hate. It's gonna smell like weed everywhere soon...

I'm guessing a bunch of those people were guys and just want to see "stuff". Reminds me of someone... I don't think I would post revealing pictures on Insta, I will post one if I ever go to Hawaii, that's all. (I can't change this to purple...)

A Korean military conflict could mean World War III, says Citi's top political analyst
I hope there will be no such thing as WWIII. Something I don't want in my lifetime. I don't really understand why they have to fight one another. I guess people always want more? But was WWI and II not enough of a lesson/experience? So much people die from these wars. Why can't we just end all kinds of fighting and have world peace? Why?

Random moment, I actually forgot to put a song. I really like this.
P!nk - What About Us
"We are billions of beautiful hearts
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willin', we came when you called
But man, you fooled us, enough is enough, oh"

Does Height Matter?

Does height matter to you? It does to me. My friend's boyfriend asked me "is height your deal breaker even if that guy has everything" (everything- I'm not that materialistic although it would be nice). I said "yes". They were saying "seriously but height isn't everything".

Yes, it's not everything but it is something (to me). Well, would you girls date a guy that is shorter than you? You might say yea, but it's different when it actually happens. Before I thought it wasn't a big deal too but then which girl doesn't want a taller guy? If he can't fight he can still looks tall and can protect us right? If he is shorter, he can maybe still do the same? But I don't like how I'll always have to look down at him everytime. Let's just say I'm more traditional in a way. I always think the guy should be taller.

I had a good guy friend years ago (the one that said my eyes are like rainbows), I think he liked me, at least I felt something more than friends from him (I don't like him that way though). We were walking one day and he suddenly asked "You are taller than me right?". I'm like...I didn't say anything, I just smiled and changed to next topic. He wasn't that much shorter but it just felt strange. It's hard to explain. I guess people wouldn't know until they try it.

I mean I do see couples (celebrities) where the guy is shorter than the girl and good for them if they are ok with it. There is nothing wrong with it, it's just something wrong with me. Even if I didn't mind the whole height thing, the guy would probably mind. Why would he go find a girl that is taller than him? I guess it all depends on how much 2 people like each other?

5"6 isn't that tall, why is it so hard to find someone taller?

Oh well, everyone has their own standards when it comes to an ideal partner. Nothing wrong with that right?

Random moment, he and his wife is an example of my topic. As long as they are happy, who cares what other people think. I like this song.
王祖藍 Cho Lam - 跌落凡間的天使
"原諒　我極像孩子
夢　萬般的蠢事
從天　跌落凡間的故事
似　已共你開始
是　你美麗如斯
像　夜深的天使
人間　發現純真的意義
你　已是我所思
為何還流動在心扉　日後只想抱著你 
仍無懼是落差二萬六千里
 就算再三被下放到絕地 
這愛仍然不死　我要共你一起
凡塵裡原是沒先知　並沒把握你願意 
忘懷萬丈夜空在地上奔馳 
是你的聲音在訴說幸運 
我盼博你歡心 
你　延續了這段情史 
能否聽多一次 
是　我剩下零分 
沒　甚麼的可能 
情感　已被回收幾百份
我　也冒要攀登"

Le Tea Review

I was looking around online to see what I can eat while I wait for my friend for dinner. I saw Le Tea near the dinner restaurant and they have ice cream.  I was so hungry but I decided to go after dinner with my friend.

I got the matcha ice cream cone ($4) and my friend got the calpis peach oolong ($5 something).

The matcha cone looked ok long. It was more like a sorbet type of thing.  It wasn't creamy and it had a tiny ice texture to it. The matcha flavour wasn't as strong as I wanted it. It tasted like those Asian green tea ice cream that you get from supermarkets. I know they don't specialize in ice cream so didn't have high expectations. It was not bad. The waffle cone has a good texture, crispy ish and it wasn't soft or soggy from the ice cream.

My friend thought her calpis peach oolong was good. However, don't drink it around 7ish. You might have trouble sleeping. If you never have such a problem then it's fine.

They have nice clear hot drink cups. Their cheese lattea are really popular but I don't like cheese. I heard it's just a salty foam.

Don't think I would come back again, I just wanted to try their ice cream, not really a BBT person but if they come up with some interesting stuff I may try.

Oh, cash only...

Hopeless But It's Time To Focus

I was gonna post something else but I feel like posting this first.

I just want to say thank you for trying so hard to find someone for me! I really appreciate everything that everyone has done for me. Feel free to keep searching. But I have decided to give up and just let someone fall down from the sky (if such thing happens). Plus, I made a promise, I guess I should keep it, maybe that's why it's never good?

I don't want to expect anything anymore because I don't want to get disappointed over and over again. I know it's just the wrong timing and wrong people but it still hurts. Deep down it feels like something is wrong with me and that's the reason why it never works out and maybe it is.

I also don't understand the guys nowadays, not sure what they are thinking but whatever. When something is not meant to be then it's not meant to be.

Yes, I'm somewhat hopeless now but it's ok. When the time comes my hope will be back again. Plus, things usually happen when it's unexpected, just like last time.

Right now I think I should just focus on me, myself and I. Focus on my super duper early 10 year retirement goal, my family and projects that I have started but never finished.

And who said a girl must have a guy? I see tons of powerful women out there nowadays. As long as I have money I can live very well too. Maybe even better without someone. Don't have to care about another person. Don't have to make time for someone else. Don't have to keep them interested and happy. Don't have to get hurt.

Once again, thank you! <3

Uncle Lu Review

No, this is not a review on an uncle. It's the name of a Taiwanese restaurant. =D I have it on my list for awhile but never had the chance to try yet. My friend suggested it so we went. It's an ok size restaurant, when we got there, there were few tables with people, it got busier when we were leaving.

Service was not bad, they were nice. However, they don't go around checking if people need more tea. My friend had to ask for tea 2 times.

Anyways I ordered the wan luan pork hock vermicelli soup ($9.50). My friend got the wan luan pork hock rice ($10.50) and the deep fried chicken nuggets ($7.50, aka salty peppery chicken). It took quite long for the food, I think we waited a good 15-20 minutes? I'm not sure why it took so long to make but ok. I was super hungry and that wait made my hunger go away...

My pork hock vermicelli soup, it was normal Taiwanese combo set size. The rice vermicelli was thinner than what I had in mind. It was overly soft and breaks easily, it felt over cooked. The pork hock, it's was a bit on the hard to chew side. The marinate flavour wasn't as strong as I wanted it (I can never find a good marinate restaurant...like HK and Taiwan). The dish came with a garlic type of sauce which goes nice with the pork hock.

I asked my friend how is her dish, she said it's just rice and these interesting description on the pork hock which can't be used in a review haha.

The chicken nuggets, I thought it was pretty big. It had a nice flavour, not overly salty and it was crispy. I feel like my friend ordered it just so I can pack it home... (thanks) My mom said it was a bit sweet. I guess because other places put more salt on it. I thought it was good but I prefer saltier. =)

Will I come back again? Hm...I don't think I will. It was just so-so. I thought their pork hock would be soft and very marinated but nope.

Blu Blu Bee Bee Bee

I was invited to a reunion with b****es that I don't ever want to see in my life ever again. I do thank my friends for inviting me but those people make me sick. I might go blind after looking at them even for one second. I might puke in their faces if I see them, that's how much they disgust me. Please do not invite me to anything if those b****es are invited as well. They will just make my day horrible. Thanks in advance! I always have reunion with people I want to see. Please don't tell them anything about me! I don't want them to know anything. I wanted to burn that group chat down because it's f***ing annoying having a million message notifications. I want to leave but then it will show that a certain number has left the group, I don't want to make it obvious. Piece of pooh!

Sitting by the skytrain station waiting for a friend. Yes, I'm blogging away as usual. Man, it stinks when the wind blows. I don't know how to describe it but it's almost like pee. I wonder if people pee near the bushes here. ><

I know girls like to be pretty but then do you really have to look at yourself in the mirror and cellphone camera non stop? Its not like you will become prettier by looking at it... I see tons of girls doing that on the street... I like to be pretty but I don't even carry a mirror out with me. I even covered my cellphone selfie camera.

And the girl that kept checking herself out in the mirror was waiting for someone. When that guy came, they gave me this really awkward feeling. The guy sat down in this position and I thought he seemed perverted and the girl was acting all shy and happy. I'm just like.........great match... You'll probably understand if you see it yourself. Kind of like those "goldfish" uncles but in this situation the girl likes it lol!

I was having bbt with a friend and this girl and her friend went out to smoke. One of the girl was constantly using her phone to see how pretty she is. No matter how pretty you are, smoking isn't good for you or your skin. I always wonder if smoking is a turn off for most people. It is for me.

I went to Sportchek to find a badminton racquet and this guy was trying to help me. I thought he is ok tehehe.

Every Couple Needs to Read This Husband's Defense of His Wife Not Cleaning the House
I like it, "I see our marriage as a partnership, so cleaning is as much my responsibility as it is hers". Totally, why does the woman have to do everything at home? What year are we in? For me, I'm already like a maid at work, I don't want to be the maid at home too. If I don't need to work then that's a different story. =)

Thinking of renovating your house? Check out these inspiring ideas!
Some of them are cool. I like the stair slide and stair storage. The "tricky to open" door lock is cool but then if you are in a rush and trying to unlock that thing... it won't be fun. The "scary bathroom", hm...wouldn't the people downstairs look up and see everything you are doing upstairs? I like the pool balcony but it's so small and curved, how can you swim?

Random moment,I believe this is an old song that he is re-singing? I like it, sounds like what happened to me.
胡鴻鈞 Hubert - 讓我放開
"從頭翻開記載　從頭看到現在
我倆快將分開　人生軌跡就要更改
但我知今天的你不要被隔開 
其實仍然願意　承受麻木悲哀
讓我輕輕將手放開　是我不該再努力愛
過去追不回來　要哪樣回答那份期待 
但我怎麼能忘記　
但我知今天需要迫你學看開
根本從未變改　明明不想分開 
偏偏世界大了　不想改都要改 
讓我狠狠將手放開　恨我不敢再去盛載
留我在你手只會永遠悲哀 
盡快將感情忘記　由那別人大方去愛 

Awkward Lunch

Oh wow, had the most awkward lunch of the year... I saw the little boy's dad's company truck and I was hoping little boy isn't here (you should know who little boy is if you have been reading). He came and said "hey". I was gonna have lunch and I want a peaceful lunch where I get to watch my drama and game. I would talk to him a bit if I wasn't on lunch. I try to ignore him but he came and sat right beside me so I didn't eat or do my normal stuff. I just sat there listening to him. All I was thinking was let me eat, please.

This time, his mom came as well. Awkward 1000000000x. Then he and his mom kind of left. After a bit they came back with the dad, I'm like............... I was trying to watch my drama and game... The parents went to look around in the showroom while little kid sat beside me, awkward.... He said someone told him we had chips here so I had to get a bag for him... and he kept talking about skateboarding... Then his parents were behind us and I didn't say anything to the boy. It was so awkward I wish I hide behind my desk for lunch instead of sitting at the kitchen.

If he was someone I was interested in or older I wouldn't mind. I would actually talk but he is super young and I honestly had nothing to say to him. All he talks about is skateboard... Good thing school starts next week (typed the week before school), don't think I'll be seeing him for awhile. His dad seem so chill and don't mind his son always talking to me but his mom doesn't look very happy... Very awkward, hm...how many times did I say that word already? One last time, AWKWARD.

Yes, I would like to meet someone but why do you always let me meet the wrong people? When is the right one gonna come around? *sigh*

This other guy from one of our installation companies always come pick up something during my lunch time. All I say to him is "hi" and he would usually say "have a great lunch". One times I said "hi" but he didn't say anything back and when he was leaving he said "sorry I was talking, didn't hear you" or something. I couldn't really hear, he talks so soft. Don't worry, he isn't a little boy. Not sure how old but I'm guessing around my age (looks young though)? No interest, at least not now.

All these guys are Caucasian. Most of the guys I see/meet at work are Caucasian. Hm...should I go into that market instead lol!? Maybe I'm not Asian's cup of tea anymore? We'll see, I'll let it be.

Gelato Express N2 Review

I saw this place online when I was doing my research and I passed by it once when I was in downtown. It's used to be another ice cream place but that closed down. The place isn't that big but there are seats along the side.

It's another one of those ice cream made with nitrogen. There were quite a few choices to choose from. I choose green apple ($7) because I hardly see that flavour. My friend got the moose track ($8).

They would either bring the gelato to you or they will call it out at the counter. They actually brought ours over. =)

Presentation, it's alright, nothing too fancy. It was ok big for the price.

The green apple one had a nice green apple taste. It actually had little apple bites in it which was good. It was more like a sorbet and it said non dairy on the menu. The waffle piece on top taste like the waffle cones. I liked it.

The moose track was like a vanilla ice cream with chocolate bites in it. My friend liked it.

Overall, we both liked our ice cream but then we thought it was just ok. Nothing too special about it. I would go back if anyone else want me to go try with them.

One comment, their washroom sink, it's the most awkward sink ever. The faucet is super low, I could hardly wash my hand. I feel like I'm cleaning the sink and the faucet mouth instead of my hands, gross. They should invest in a better faucet.

Kurumucho Review

I found Kurumucho when I was researching online. It's a Japanese Mexican type of restaurant. It's not very big. I've been to this place when it used to be Shizenya, this is a restaurant that is part of Shizenya. They moved it to few stores up, it's much bigger and busier. I think I'll go try Shizenya again next time.

Anyways, it wasn't too busy when we got there, like one table with people and one person getting take out. The service was really good. The lady was very nice and she kept pouring water for us because we were super thirsty when we got there.

We both ordered the chicken breast karaage "zangi" burrito ($9.95). I wanted taco but then from what she told me about the size, I thought it seem small for the price. When the burrito came, it looks fat in size but not that big.

The burrito was good but I wish there were more quinoa + rice and chicken then veggie. The veggie part had no taste at all and it's a big part of the burrito. They gave us salsa but I don't think it was enough. Maybe they should have added the salsa sauce into the veggie, it would taste so much better. The chicken were cut into small pieces. I think there were only 4 pieces in there? I likes the quinoa/rice part. It had a nice flavour. That part with the chicken was probably the most tasty part of all. I'm just not really a veggie person, I know it's bad.

I would come back again, maybe to try their tacos. They have happy hour from 3-5pm. They close quite early, like 6pm.

They used to have the matcha crème brulee as a dessert but not anymore. I wish they did, I would totally order it.

Oh, if you need the washroom, you need to get a key from them and walk through a tiny hall.

I overheard my parents watching this health show on TV. The guy on there said he was surprised that he got cancer at such a young age. He doesn't have any bad habits. He just wants to live a simple life and take care of his family. I totally understand how he feels. I guess that's just life, full of unexpected events, unhappy more than happy.

AHH! The Samsung Note 8 is out! I have been waiting forever. I always wanted a Note but never got one. I like #8 so I'm for sure getting it, let's just hope no explosion or any problems this time. I looked at the pre-order they don't have the orchid grey (purple ish, I love purple) that I like (only USA), only black and blue here. =( If they have the orchid grey, I would for sure order it. It's so freaking expensive. It's as expensive as a laptop... But I don't always change my phone. I try to use them to their max until they start having problems then I change to a new one. I went to the store to check it out and I really like the camera, that's the main thing I care about so I don't have to carry my camera around everywhere. I'll be patient and wait for orchid grey, if not I'll just buy a purple case...

Started watching "GOT", I didn't know there were that much "scenes" (you'll know if you have been watching or planning to watch, hm...is that why that person really like it lol!). I didn't expect it because it's a TV series. Anyways, I thought the series is pretty good, it's interesting, I really like revenge shows (I can't revenge in life). I like to see bad people have what they deserve in the end but usually most of the good people will die first... =( "innocents always suffer".

I'm actually into history/ancient stuff, not always. I have been watching the series quite fast too. My friend said it took her 2 months to finish all 6 seasons. It took me about 2 weeks to finish 4 seasons. It only has 10 episodes per season and I haven't gotten tired of it and move onto something else like I did for "PLL". I was hoping I could finish and catch up onto season 7 but it ended right when I got to season 5 LOL! Done all 7 seasons in 2-3 weeks, I'm amazing. =) I'm not looking forward to season 8, I feel like more people will die. =(

I really like the wolves and dragons in it! I wish I own some too. =) The dragons were cute when they were young but as they got older it's kind of scary. I really dislike the war, torture and killing scenes, it's too gruesome for me, it's just too much. Every fighting scene, I'm always hoping someone can help them or the nice people will win but they die one after another. =(

I really like Emilia's character, I like how she has the power and she wants to save as much (good) people as she can and give the bad people what they deserve. I really like her hairstyle and some of her clothing too. I didn't know she was in "I Before You", I watched that on the plane when I was going to Korea. I actually teared near the end of the movie. Good thing my cousin was beside me and not some stranger. I did tear 2 times beside strangers on the plane... More to come. 

So happy when the bad people have what they deserve at the end but it took too long! Why? What evil people do to others, the good people will do it back 100x in return! Lines, "A good mother never gives up on her children". I like Samwell too, he is always trying to protect Gilly. =) "I'm angry that horrible people can treat good people that way and get away with it" - They always do... =( "Leave one wolf alive, the sheep will never be safe".

'Game Of Thrones' Star Reveals Tormund's Love For Brienne Extends Offscreen
I like those looks, so funny! I actually laughed when I saw those parts. Yea, in season 7 I was thinking, no, you can't die, you still have Brienne!

Gonna watch "The Crown" next I think?

There are so much Japanese stores opening in Canada, the ones I usually see in HK. It doesn't make it special anymore. Normally people buy stuff in Asia so no-one will have the same thing over here but now it's everywhere.

Man breaks up with long-term girlfriend by ghosting her and moving country - now she's his new boss
LOL! I've always thought of something like that happening (not ghosting). It would be nice to be the boss of some a holes. Pay back time, muhahahahaha!

The only differrence between these two photos is five seconds
So true. Yea, I find a lot of the pictures on Insta a bit unreal sometimes. It just look so perfect...I guess because of all those filters and stuff. But I believe some were taken by professional photog.

Little Girl Possibly Scarred for Life After Black Henna Tattoo Causes Chemical Burns
Oh man, that's horrible... I have an Indian friend, should I still get Henna done when she has her wedding in the future? Hm...maybe a super tiny one?

Random moment, I like this song, didn't really like it in the beginning. Just like everything else, you will like it after awhile. I don't really see this happening in life, only in drama. A guy that likes a girl but only can be her friend and always by her side. Can I meet a good friend like that too?

Misunderstanding

Have you ever had any misunderstanding with friends/coworkers/random people?

I have, tons too. I'm not very good at talking so sometimes people get me wrong. But then they can see my facial expression so they know if I mean it or not, am I happy or offended. On the other hand, messaging is a complete different story.

Me and messaging, I always seem to piss people off or they are unhappy or think I'm not considerate. I have no clue why. Maybe because sometimes people can feel a certain "tone" through messages but really, that person isn't even feeling that way (sometimes).

I hate misunderstanding, especially with friends, most of the time that's how friendship ends (I know, such a stupid thing right?). I do care about my friends and friendship with them that's why I hate conflicts/problems with them. I'm the type of person that would talk things out rather than hold it in. Yes, some people can't take it and leave, some would fix it together, just like in a romantic relationship. I'm also a super emotional person (you should know by now if you have been reading), whenever something happens I just tear... I'm more likely to tear when they make it sound like I did something horrible. =(

One time I was going on a trip with friends and one friend paid for her ticket late so she only paid for her flight and we all paid flight and hotel. There were resort fee so I listed out all the options if we want that friend to pay more/all because she only paid for her flight. I guess all she read was "you girls want her to pay all" and not the rest. I was trying to make things fair but that friend told people afterwards that I made her paid for everything. And we all split that amount, she didn't pay for everything! I thought we were close friends and she does that to me. I was extremely hurt by that. I only told one close friend about it and she told people about it. Thanks for making it seem like I'm the most horrible person on earth! I didn't talk about this problem with her, I just slowly stopped talking to her.

I do miss our friendship but I would rather find friends that appreciate what I have done for them and someone that really know what kind of person I am, not just a horrible person. My life is filled with unhappy moments, I don't need more in my life. Thanks for not being there when I needed someone. And I was there for you at one of your lowest time in life.

I felt like I had lots of misunderstanding with "that person" too. We mainly talked through messaging because I was on vacation. I'm not gonna talk about it, what's done is done. And not like we will see each other again (I think?). Just don't feel like typing about it, maybe when I run out of ideas.

Recently, I was listing out a bunch of restaurants for friends but they just kept rejecting and complaining. Well, it's not my job to find a restaurant that suit everyone's taste, I'm just kind enough to search for a restaurant. They make it seem like I was not considerate at all. If I wasn't, I wouldn't even look up so much different restaurants and look at every single menu to find something that they would like. I was so hurt and teared because I felt like they didn't appreciate anything that I did. And the way they were talking, I was so disappointed that friends would do that. She probably didn't mean it that way but then messages always give misunderstanding.

Next, another friend and I was talking about our outing and all of a sudden she snapped at me through messaging (at least I thought she was). I was like WTH??? I didn't even say anything bad or whatever. I was hurt and teared because I know I didn't do anything wrong and all of a sudden I'm getting all these messages... We talked about it and she misunderstood me.

Yup, that's life, full of misunderstanding. Would things be better if there weren't so much technologies and more face to face interaction? I wonder... but it's a bit too late to fix some of the problems. Let it be since it was not meant to be.

Random moment, oh wow, I couldn't think of a song then I was looking at my bookmarks and I found this. Perfect! Pretty much how I feel. Somehow it sounds like the b**** and I more, which I talked about in "13 reasons why". Some "friends" you just have to let go of forever.
許廷鏗 - 誤解

"曾經好友跟我共坐 
從不懂去表達真我　年月儲起憎怨幾多  
朋友我當你一秒朋友
直到反目明白舊日戰友　原來從未算真心好友
誤解我機心太多　不懂交心誰錯 解釋增加罪過
誤解過後誰恨我　結局散席放手離座 
座上客只得一個我　仍妄想一位會認領我  
難受過　承受過　全部過錯 累過麼　恨我麼　尚有幾多 
而我不管他怎樣恨我　也沒理會我怎無助 
尚在妄想修補過錯
朋友我當你一世朋友　想起那承諾跟尾指緊扣 
到今日才能成熟看透　原來曾結識經已足夠"

Mister Artisan Ice Cream Review Again

We didn't know where to eat for dessert so I asked my friends if they want to try Mister.

So we went and I ordered the cookie and cream ($7) in a black cone ($1). My friends ordered same thing and the dark chocolate ($7) in a black cone ($1).

I have been seeing a lot of these black cone and black ice cream everywhere so I wanted to try. I wanted the black ice cream but wasn't sure which one. I found out afterwards it's the coconut ash. I guess I'll have to come back again next time to try.

I'm not sure what they used to make the cone black. I don't find anything practically special about it except for it being black. It taste just like the regular cones. It had a nice texture, wasn't soggy from the ice cream.

The cookie and cream was alright, didn't really taste like cookie and cream. It did have cookie bites in it. I was gonna get dark chocolate but I'm supposed to stay away from chocolate and it was late, not sure if I can sleep after having that. But the dark chocolate was so good! It didn't taste like those bitter dark chocolate at all and it was very chocolatey. Like I said on the first review, their ice cream were creamy.

Yes, I'll come back as long as they have new stuff for me to try. =)

Rant VIII

Oh wow, this crazy learner driver. There was a cop on the side and she just stopped beside it. Like WTF? A cop is there doesn't mean you stop, it's not like the cop car is moving. I wanted to honk but don't want to catch the cop's attention. Then the car stopped at a red light with the left turn signal on. So I honked because there is a freaking left turn lane right beside us! Then after a bit that car starts to move forward and changed to the right signal but makes a quick left turn. Like holy crap! Maybe you should stay off the road... If the cop was still behind us, I'm sure she would have been pulled over. Lucky her.

So I made an appointment with the bank, when I got there someone was still with her so I waited. I WAITED for HALF AN HOUR! WTF!? What's the point of having an appointment when I don't get to get my "sheet" done on time? After half an hour she came to me and said "sorry I don't recognize you and you didn't say anything". DUDE! I didn't say anything because I'm polite, I don't just walk up to people when they are busy with other customers. Then she said "sorry, but this might take a while blah blah blah". Had to reschedule because I'm freaking busy, I don't have an extra minute to waste there! Rescheduled for 2 weeks later! She better have the appointment with me on time or I'm going to the next person! ARG! She acts a bit strange, I don't know how to describe it. My mom was saying how she is a bit "sor sor day", I was thinking don't say that, she doesn't seem like it. After that day, I think my mom was right. Mothers are always right, right?

Saw bank lady again. I had to wait a bit again..few minutes. Better than half an hour. I wanted to open this account and she said on the phone "don't worry we can fill those when you get here" so I didn't prepare the stuff. When I ask about it she said "no you have to fill out the forms online". WTF!? She is so ABCDEF! I like to stick to the same banker but I think I will switch to another one. Don't know...

You know whenever something happens in a group, they always make me feel like I'm the bad person and I didn't make things better for them, I'm not considerate or some "sheet". I'm so tired of this crap! I'm a human too, I have feelings! I can't please everyone of you! Have you people ever consider how I would feel? I don't think so. If you guys did, I wouldn't have all these horrible feelings. Maybe it's time to just step back for awhile. Not like they will care if I'm gone.

The new chef that was helping out, I thought he would clean the dishes better than our regular chef. Uh, NO! It's even worse! There were oil and sauce on them. What kind of cleaning is that? Did you even use soap? Gross! I know it's not your job to clean the dishes but it ain't my job either. I'm just cleaning them because I have to touch them and people eat from them. I don't want to see people get sick. That's one reason why I don't like these demos. So much cleaning up. 

I had a super long rant post but I decided to cut it into 2 parts. I don't really like long posts, you just want it to end after a bit. =)

Miku Review

My besties and I have this "tradition" where we treat each other if something special happens to one of us (raise/promotion/birthday etc.). It was my friend's turn so she picked Miku without telling us. If we knew we wouldn't go because it's an expensive place. Thank you my friend but next time no need to go to expensive place.

It's located beside Canada Place. When we got in it was ok packed with people. I thought the place was very pretty. The people near the kitchen would yell out that phase in Japanese, I think welcome? I see a lot of Japanese restaurants do that. The waitress that was helping us was really nice, she went over the menu with us and what she recommends.

So, we ordered the prawn cocktail ($19), ebi fritter ($15), sockeye salmon sashimi ($19), salmon oshi sushi ($17) and king roll ($17). The plate weren't that big and it was expected. Each plate was nicely presented. I liked the ebi fritter and salmon sashimi presentation the most.

First, the prawn cocktail, to me it wasn't too special. I prefer the ebi fritter more than this. This dish was more "original", you can taste the "true" flavour of prawns. It was fresh and had the right prawn texture, not soft/mushy. I liked the sauce, cocktail ish taste. The seaweed was a bit salty and very "ocean" taste.

The ebi fritter, it was a deep fried prawn dish. I liked it, it was crispy and the prawn had a soft, cooked texture, just right, not overly cooked. There were chili powder on the dish but I didn't taste any spiciness. I like the sauce that was on it, made it very yummy.

 

The salmon sashimi was good but I'm not really a sashimi person. I would have to dip the entire sashimi into soya sauce so I can't taste that sashimi flavour. I like all the colourful garnish on the side. The corals and seaweed had no taste but it's good with soy sauce.

Salmon oshi sushi, I thought it was the round pressed sushi because that's what the waitress said when she was going over the menu... I wanted to try the round sushi because I never had them before but it's just round shapes and topped with something. It was those rectangular pressed sushi. It was really good. It completely melts in the mouth. It was a bit oily, I believe it's because they torch the sushi and that's the oil from the salmon? The jalapeno on top gave it a tiny kick.

Last but not least, king roll. It kind of reminds me of a cali roll without the avocado. I like how the tempura prawn and cucumber give it a crunchy texture. However, I prefer the salmon oshi sushi more.

We were given 2 different soya sauce, can't really tell the difference except for the colour, one dark, one light. I believe one was saltier than the other? The waitress said we don't need to dip their sushi in soya sauce. Which was true, the sushi that we had, had enough flavour on them, especially the salmon oshi sushi.

 

Overall, it was really good (it should be right? For that price). Would I come back, yes but don't know when, it is pricey.

Oh, comment on their washroom, it's quite dark, I could hardly see anything inside the stall lol! It's quite sound proof too, you can only hear the washroom flushing, super quiet.

Thanks again my friend!

What Does "Cindy" Mean?

I saw an icon on MSN saying something like popular names the year you were born. So, I decided to look up what "Cindy" means. Every name has a meaning but not sure if it's true.

From wiki, "Cynthia was originally an epithet of the Greek goddess of the moon...It can be abbreviated as Cindy".

People always say my Chinese name really suit me, it's exactly me. It sounds similar to Cindy, I love my Chinese name too, it sounds like a child's name to me and I am kind of like one (sometimes). =) One friend said it sound so 仙女 (fairy). 

Meaning of Cindy
Not sure how this is the meaning of my name, more like what a Cindy would be like...

"The girl that is just everything you want. She's cute, funny and is just the type of person you'd love to be around with. All the guys wanna date her and girls wanna be like her (Uh...I don't think so). She's the type of girl you'd really want to spend the rest of your life of. The type of girl that you want to keep close and never let go. When she's in a relationship, she's fully committed and won't even look at anyone else. She'll spend all her time with you and make you feel amazing."

I like the hashtags, cute, nice, amazing, beautiful and best. I read a few other meaning on the site, it does sound like me hehe. If I'm that "great" why am I still here alone?

"amazingly cute and innocent" - Hm...don't know. Innocent...I always feel like people think of me as the worst person ever and the evil b**** is always the innocent one... People are just so good at acting. I'm just too "true".

"A thing of perfection" - Yes, I try to be as perfect as I can but nothing is perfect.

"Very family oriented"- Yes, very. They are my everything.

"She is always thinking about others" - Yea, maybe I should stop caring about other people and care more about myself.

"a cindy is a funny, loud, pretty person. shes always texting and instagraming. sometimes she gets in trouble , but you got to love a cindy. shes that kind of best friend you can always trust and she will make u laugh." - Hm, sounds like me but I am not loud at all, people can barely hear me. I can be loud at home.

"She is sweet and a smile that will light up a room." - Am I? Am I?

"she is loyal and stays only with one guy" - Yea, I guess?

Another Link
"People with this name tend to initiate events, to be leaders rather than followers, with powerful personalities...They tend to be courageous and sometimes aggressive. As unique, creative individuals, they tend to resent authority, and are sometimes stubborn, proud, and impatient."

Kind of, not really. I initiate events but don't like being a leader. I guess I do have a powerful personalities sometimes. I'm pretty patient so impatient is incorrect. Other stuff, not sure.

Lol, one site said "You might be psychic, but not know it." Hm...sometimes? People always ask "how did you know". It also said "have things done your own way", yea, I do and I get a bit unhappy when it's not. I guess that is one thing people may hate me about.

Ok, I think that's enough, I'm tired of it myself lol. Typed it in June.

Random moment, I really like the dancing parts in "Legal Mavericks". They always play this song during the dancing part I think? Too bad I can't dance. =)

I Don't Wanna Wait Forever - Caroline Von Brünken

"You never said you wanted me, it doesn't really matter

when we're together all I know is my heart goes faster

I don't wanna wait forever, be my fighter, never say another maybe
