Beta 5 Review

When I got home and opened the fridge I saw this box with "Beta 5" on it. I knew it was those cream puff. I wanted to try this place a long time ago but never got a chance. My brother got them for the fam, thanks!

They are $5 or $4.50 each if you buy 4 or more. I believe he got these flavours raspberry earl grey and variation of chocolate. My brother said there were other flavours but then they were all sold out.

They are so cute and chubby looking. They look like snowman or little human.

I didn't know what flavours they were before eating them. I checked the site when I was typing this review.

The raspberry earl grey, I guessed it was raspberry because every berry has their own flavour. There were 3 different layers inside, white cream, early grey cream and raspberry mousse. The white cream had a tiny sweetness to it. The whole time I was trying to figure out what the brown cream was but I couldn't tell, it was earl grey. The flavour wasn't strong enough. The raspberry mousse, I believe it's a mousse, the texture felt like one, it was firmer than the cream above. It for sure had a raspberry flavour, kind of tangy which I like, doesn't feel as filling. The outer puff itself was very thin, a bit crunchy but not really. The pink chocolate on top was white chocolate (I don't like white chocolate so I'm pretty sure that was a white chocolate).

 

The variation of chocolate, also had 3 layers, a chocolate cream, a mousse like chocolate and a custard or something. Not bad, I liked it. The outer tasted like a certain cookie flavour but I'm not sure what it is. The dark chocolate on top had some gold on it, fancy.

Overall not bad, pretty much eating cream. It is considered pricey for its size but it's worth a try.

Bee Bee Blu Blu Blu

I was watching this super old drama, don't know what to watch. "When you like someone there is no reason, it's just a feeling", true, at least to me it is. When people ask me why do I like someone I always don't know the answer. Do I have to have an answer? "If we have fate, maybe we will meet again at an unexpected place". "When you don't let your friends care about you, it's selfish", hm...I don't know about that.

I was watching "Line Walker 2", Ben hit Pakho because he hurt Priscilla. I was thinking, I wish someone would hit "that person" for me too...

At PT job, auntie's friend's son is always at the mall, no clue why, at least I see him every time I work. When I got back he was in my store with auntie and she told me to intro some baby boy clothes to him. Something cheap is good, he has no money. His friends and him are going to chip in. I was like haha...ok. I laughed not because he has no money but I laughed because there is nothing cheap here lol! I really had nothing to intro him, he said "it's ok I'm just looking, thanks". I actually wanted to tell him "if I were you I wouldn't buy from here" lol!

I'm so silly. =D A coworker's wife e-mailed manager. I read "he is fast asleep". I'm like he is dead??? Then I read "he won't be in today as he is really sick". I'm like oh....

I like joking around with my besties because we just laugh it off no matter how stupid it is. We can like talk about pretty much anything. I was hanging out with other friends, I feel like I can't joke with them... They will just call me immature... Really? Where is the fun? I guess as people get older they need to mature up and no more stupid jokes? I guess I'll just joke with my besties from now on.

I know I can be a kid sometimes but I like it. I get all the love and care from people around me. The older I act the older I'll be. Why not act young and be young while I still can?

My friend said something "not like he has the guts to go up and talk to you LOL". Yea, don't know why but not much people are brave enough. I don't bite... or do I? RAWR! Oh well.

If you can answer this riddle, apparently you're a psychopath
Lol, I thought of something else but then when I read the first few words of the answer I knew the rest. I guess I watch too much TV.

I went from a size 24 to size 18. Now, I can't get a date
It sounds silly but it's true. At least I think it's the same for me too. I think that is because people find chubby people kind of cute? And when you are all skinny and good looking, some people find it hard to approach? No clue. So don't lose weight gals! Then I read this after typing the above.
"Well people are more confident hollering at fat chicks. They feel there is less chance of rejection so they are more bold,", a guy said. Ok... I guess I was somewhat right with the approach thing. Guys...Just man up and if you get rejected, it just mean she is not the one.

No song, I had a song in mind for the above drama but I didn't have time to look at the lyrics.

Does It Determine Who We Are?

You know I always hear people praising how good people's kids are and how smart they are. Is it really that important? Does that determine who we really are?

People always want their kids to go to a good well known school but does it really matter?

People don't even check our grades or care about what school we went to (sometimes) when we look for a job. It's all about can we do the job that we applied for. Plus, what we learned in school is very different from the actual thing at work. Not a lot of the stuff that we learned from school are applied to the stuff at work. The most useful thing is probably all the Microsoft software (Word, Excel, PPT, etc.), almost all companies use it.

My Daddy always say, if they are good in school, they can do good in any school, doesn't matter which one. I agree, people always seem to judge someone by what school they went to or what job they are doing. Going to a well known school doesn't mean anything, they might have more "face" infront of other people, that's all. Going to a good school doesn't mean they are actually good in school. Maybe they are just borderline passing, you never know.

Not going to university doesn't mean anything either. Tons of rich/successful people in this world didn't go to university and they are better off than most of the university people. So what does that tell us?

"Don't judge a book by it's cover", don't judge someone based on their education.

I didn't go to one of the two well known universities and I feel like people look down at me because of that. Like they didn't say anything but then I can feel it by the stuff they say. Yes, I didn't go to a named university but I learned a lot from there (forgot most) and I have a great job right now. HA!

Typed it sometime in June.

Home Delicacy Noodle Review

A friend told me about this place but we never went. I was running out of ideas on where to eat so I decided to try this place without that friend. I think she forgot about it anyways.

When we got in, there were few tables with people then it got busier then it's like dead around 8pm. The service was good, nothing bad.

One part of the noodle menu was in Chinese, good thing I know most of the words.

I ordered the 2 different type of noodle in 1 bowl, one noodle was Tian Jin something noodle and the other one was the pork hock noodle ($12.95). My friend ordered the same type of noodle bowl as me, dumplings ($14.75), boil/pan fried dish ($2.85/100g) and beef and tendon noodle ($9.50).

Out of my 2 noodles I liked the pork hock more. I like pork hock, don't know why, I love the vinegar one where you eat after you have a child. Their pork hock (3 pieces) was well marinated compared to other places that I have been to. It was very soft and easy to eat too. The round noodle was good, nice texture. The Tian Jin noodle wasn't bad either. It had a different type of noodle, it was flat noodle. I believe it's because there is no soup and the sauce would stick better on flat noodle. I don't know how to describe the taste of the sauce but it wasn't really my thing. There were shredded bean curd or something and slices of pork blood. The size of the noodle was ok size, I was pretty full after it. I like their bowl.

The boil/pan fried dish, you can pick and choose what food you want to eat. They charge by weight. I thought that was interesting, you normally do that at candy stores/ seafood restaurants. I tried a bean curd from that dish, I thought it was really good. It was nicely flavoured with a little kick to it. I'm sure the rest were good too.

Thank you for treating us my friend!

Overall I think the restaurant was pretty good. My friends liked it too. I would come back again, they still have a lot of different types of noodle and food on their menu. I'm surprised I don't see any review or menus online for this restaurant. I couldn't find anything online before coming to the restaurant, only on Google, none of the food review websites.

Not Sure How I Feel

Sometime in September So, manager is gonna retire next year and I think boss interviewed 2 women only. From what I heard from manager, they plan to hire the woman that I didn't get a good vibe from. Uh oh!

This new lady, she was in this training thing before her interview and I was cleaning and manager came to me and did this hand thing (blah blah blah kind of thing). Yea, seems like that lady talks a lot and her voice is a bit soft to me and she has an accent. Her name is hard to say too. Don't know but she didn't give me a nice vibe. Maybe because she wasn't acting that nice to me? If boss does hire her, I hope my vibes were wrong.

The second lady, I thought she was nice but she sounds like she was out of breath getting up from the chair and walking upstairs. Her name was also very hard to say but she didn't give me a bad vibe.

In the beginning I thought my manager was the mean type because it's scary when she doesn't smile but turns out she is really nice.

Whoever my boss hires, I hope she will be as good as my manager. My manager said "if she starts, you stay at your desk and don't help in the kitchen because I want her to learn everything from scratch. Only come help when I ask you to". I was like yay! But then I'm thinking uh, what if she doesn't clean that well? Oh well, I'll stay far away from that kitchen when she starts so I won't know how clean or dirty it is.

For some reason, if she is the new manager, I feel like she will order me to do this and that and won't help me when I'm busy. She is a teacher at my university but I think the design faculty? You know how teachers like to order students to do stuff, ya...

Oh, it turns out big boss isn't gonna hire any of the above. I thought second lady was nice but I don't know what kind of stuff she does so can't say anything.

October So a guy dropped off his resume. I told manager and she said "oh, a guy is ok". I'm thinking... if we hire another guy then I'm the only girl in this company... And I know how guys are. I'm pretty sure he will just leave a bunch of s*** behind for me to do and go chill. I thought we are looking for a showroom manager that can cook, feed a bunch of people, organize stuff and clean like a maid. I guess that guy probably thinks it's a chill type of manager? I don't think he is the type that would stay in the kitchen and clean with me... More like order me to clean this and clean that... I just don't see any guys that are the crazy cleaning type.

Night Market 2017 Food Review

Night market used to be fun but it's getting quite boring. It's the same stuff every year. I used to like it because I was so into those pretty stationary, used to buy like crazy. My friend had a zoom pass and she didn't want to waste it so we decided to go (thanks!). They increase the entrance fee every year, it's like $3.75 to get in now... Plus, the stuff inside night market is so expensive too. My friend said it may be the last year at this location but I saw a sign that say sign up for 2018?

When we got there, the line up wasn't that long, I guess it was more busy when they first opened? We didn't have to wait because we had the zoom pass. When we got in, it wasn't as crowded as it used to be.

I was mainly there because of the dessert. Woot! Dessert after dinner! It's my dessert diet day. There were 4 things I wanted to try and I found 3 out of the 4.

The main thing I wanted to try was the black sesame ice cream bao sandwich with active charcoal ($8) from Bao Bar Sweets. It looks pretty cool. I saw them take the mantou out from the deep fryer, they were all looking pretty shiny. Then they took this round black sesame ice cream out from this freezer. They topped it with condense milk(?) and I believe those are black and white sesame seeds(?) or was it active charcoal? I have no clue. When I got it the mantou was still warm and the ice cream was cold (I love that). The mantou was very crispy, the taste reminds me of the Chinese donuts (that oil taste). The ice cream had the black sesame taste but not very strong (for me). I really like it, I would get it again but it's quite expensive for such a tiny thing. I shall try to make it at home. =) I wish their mantou was bigger.

Then my friend got the churro (thanks for letting me try). I've always wanted to try churros but never got a chance. She got this fancy looking churro with green tea ice cream in a flamingo inflatable ($12) from Churro and Ice Cream. You can also add $1 and upgrade the inflatable to a umbrella or palm tree. I thought the palm tree looked nice. It's quite pricey. I tried to rip the churro apart and bits and pieces were falling off. It was super crispy and coated with sugar and cinnamon. The fried taste also reminds me of the Chinese donuts LOL! It was really good. The ice cream was a bit too milky taste to me, I didn't like it but my friend likes it. I'm not a milk person. I thought the froot loops tasted pretty good with the ice cream, gave it a tiny sweetness and crunch. Haven't had those since a little kid.

 

Then I got this butterfly pea flower drink in rose and thai style flavour in a "sharing cup" ($7) from Milk Cha. Their logo is so cute, so was one of the guy there (my friend said LOL!). I think we were getting high from all that sugar. I like how butterfly pea flower makes drinks into different coloured layers. I realized drinks made with that flower has a very light taste to the drink. I tried it at another place and it had no taste. Milk Cha has a sweetness to it so it was better. I thought thai style had a lighter thai tea taste, I do prefer something stronger when it comes to tea. The rose had a light and sweet taste to it, not too sure what rose is supposed to taste like. I liked the Thai tea more.

The last thing I wanted to try (more like take picture of) was the rose popsicle. I feel like it's gonna be really expensive for such a tiny thing. I should buy a mould and make it myself.

I liked all the stuff I tried, even better if I had dessert before dinner.

Bee Bee Bee Blu Blu

Wow, this is actually my #201 post. I didn't know I typed that much boring stories already...

Anyways, 5 more weeks till open house at work. I don't like it because so much prepping and cleaning we have to do. I like it because it's my only day of the year to dress formal, a nice and pretty dress (well I can dress like that everyday but no thanks. No dolling up and no heels, I dislike). And the only day where I'll see a bunch of people that I have no clue who they are (I know some). Let's see who I'll meet this year. =) Should I wear green or blue this year?

I was talking to a friend who just found someone from online dating (yes, she said I should too...) and I was questioning her about the guy (I somewhat lost trust in all guys, I feel like none of them are good... It will take me a super long time to trust again =( ). Just wanted to make sure he will be good to her. I asked "is he planning to get married soon", she replied "I hope not because I'm not ready for that". I told her "I know, as I get older, I feel like I'm not ready for anything.", she said "I know!". Why did it seem super simple/easy to get married and have kids in the past? Is it because they don't worry as much as we do nowadays? Life was much simpler compared to now?

Then I told another friend about how our mutual friend is trying to set me up. I told her that I sound so shallow because I'm not interested in the guy based on a picture. She said "No, you may be with this person your whole life, you need to pick the best one". She made me feel better. =) I think I rather pick someone I'm interested in, at least I'll be happy. If I just pick someone because friends think I won't be able to find "my type", I don't think I'll be happy in the long run. I rather be alone.

I don't know why most of the guys that are interested in me are super nice but I just don't have that feeling for them. I feel like they would be the best boyfriend/husband or whatever but I'm not interested at all. I guess it's true that "girls like bad guys"... sad eh? It's not hard to find someone that is interested in me but it's hard to find someone that I'm also interested in. I believe it would happen again if it happened once, but I have no clue when.

Oh, I'm kind of running out of food reviews, haven't been eating out much, I think it should last for a month? If I eat out then it will last longer.

I don't know what's happening but everyday around 8:15am or 2:00pm, the roads outside is jam packed with cars. I guess they are doing road work on the highway? I saw this truck driver get out of his car and talked to the truck driver infront. I'm guessing he was saying how that truck doesn't move up and all the cars on the other lane just goes infront so their lane never moves up. Well, that truck didn't move up because there is a railway light, you never know when a train will come...

Woman sells wedding dress after new husband chatted up other ladies on honeymoon

Wow, what an A hole for doing that! If you don't like her, why did you marry her???

Random moment, heard it at work and I like it. Especially when she sing "Symphony... Will you hold me tight and not let go".
Clean Bandit - Symphony ft. Zara Larsson
"I’ve been hearing symphonies

Before all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
And every melody is timeless
Life was stringing me along
Then you came and you cut me loose
Was solo singing on my own
Now I can’t find the key without you

And now your song is on repeat
And I’m dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you’re gone, I feel incomplete
So if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

I’m sorry if it’s all too much
Every day you’re here, I’m healing
And I was runnin' out of luck
I never thought I’d find this feeling"

Makeover?

I went out with friends and they wanted to do a makeover on this friend. I was thinking why does she need one? They really want to change her... I think she looks fine the way she is now.

Why do people want to change someone? Is it because they look the same year after year? Why do people have to change their look as they age?

To me, I think everyone is unique in their own way. They have their own taste, style and looks. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, is there?

Usually when people do a makeover, it's usually what people like them to look like, not what they want to look like. Yes, dress them up like super models. Yes, doll them up until they are unrecognizable and unrecognizable when they have little to no makeup on... I just prefer things more natural.

Plus, I think the way someone dress/look can show what kind of person they are (personality/others). So don't be someone you are not.

I've watched makeover shows before, a lot of the times, the person that is getting their look changed isn't really what they like. And the host says "well, you want a change so you should try and accept a different look. These professional spent a lot of time thinking about it". I was like... It's true they spent a lot of time on it but if the person isn't comfortable with it, don't force them. Some of the makeovers made them look completely different, it's like another person. Some of them I think it's an awful makeover (it didn't look good on them)... They just changed the person into what they think is "pretty", not what that person thinks is pretty.

My friend was saying "Why me? Why not Cin?". I don't want a makeover because I think I look fine the way I am. If people think I'm cute like this I think I would want to stick with this look. Yes, I look pretty much the same as when I was a little kid. I prefer cute more than mature or something else. I am cute, I can't go onto the sexy route. I mean I don't mind trying different looks to make myself look even cuter or better. I am who I am. Like me or hate me. =)

I will keep my bangs forever, it's my "icon".

Does big eyes and double eyelids really matter? Who doesn't want big eyes but after a few years no matter how big your eyes are, they won't look very pretty anyways. I think kind looking eyes are more important than BIG eyes. Sometimes people should accept the features that they were born with. That's what makes us all unique. Am I wrong?

I normally don't use eye makeup because my eyes get super oily. The eyeliner/mascara will just smudge and make panda eyes for me. Not that I don't want to but I rather look normal than to have panda eyes. =( I do put eye makeup on during my Sunday shifts. Another reason is because it's an extra step in my morning routine. I rather spend a few more minutes in bed.

I may not look pretty but I'm confident with what I'm born with. I won't look pretty in order to please people. If they don't like how I look, just don't look at me. =) Or they can just poke their own eyes out. =P

It's not a bad idea to make changes as long as you are comfortable and happy with it. Remember to listen to yourself and do what you like not what they like.

Random moment, I don't understand why he had to give up on her (MV) even though she seems to like him. Just because he isn't confident in his looks and other stuff... I guess I know how he feels. Before I would think why would that person be interested in me? I wasn't dressed pretty or anything, what caught his attention? He can probably find someone better than me... I thought it was just unreal, and it is unreal...

Midam Review

My friend wanted to try this place so we decided to go. It's ok big in there but not sure why they have to cram the chairs so close together. The people behind us was back against back.

Service was ok. They were nice but this one waitress... She doesn't know how to count or something... Normally when you pay, they will ask if we need change and then take our payment to the cashier and count or whatever. This waitress was checking to see if everyone paid what we were supposed to. My friend had to explain to her 3 times about it. Like how hard is it? One is $13 something, one is $14 something. That's around $27. There were 2 $5 bills and one $20. Isn't that enough already? Why was she still questioning my friend if she only paid $13? I thought that was ridiculous. Yes, I'm not a think fast person, sometimes it's hard to do math quickly but it wasn't that hard was it? I guess kids nowadays use too much calculator and not their brain to calculate?

Anyways, I ordered the rice cake waffle ($7), my friends ordered the stir fried marinated beef with mushroom and veggie ($13), the stir-fried squid and pork belly udon ($14) and seafood tofu soup ($11).

Yes, dessert for dinner, typical Cincin. I was suppose to have dessert before, during and after dinner, didn't get any before dinner so I was unhappy. I've always wanted to try rice cake waffle, even when I was in Korea but I didn't have time. Finally get to try. It wasn't as clear as I thought it would be (I've seen almost see through rice cake waffle before). There were sliced almond and syrup on top. It had a crunchish outside, a chewy inside and it sticks to my teeth. Taste wise, it was just ok. It wasn't that sweet, kind of plain in a way. There were sweetness from the syrup and maybe the bean powder? I thought the rice cake waffle would look better on a black plate. I think the waffle would stand out more.

 

I tried 2 of my friends dishes. The marinated beef with mushroom and veggie (I thought it was quite small for the price), the beef had enough flavour and the rice cake was chewy. The squid and pork belly udon, the udon was spicy and the pork belly had a spicy flavour but the meat itself, not much taste.

The tofu soup, my friend can't eat spicy so the soup had no colour.

Overall, I think their food are just ok. I won't go back, I tried what I had to try and that waitress "wow" me a bit.

Rant XII

I hate it when those scam people call the company! Like how much slower can they talk? How many times do I have to repeat the same stuff? These scam Google listing people called in and you can just tell by the way they talk and stuff. I wanted to hang up but I know they will just keep calling so now I just tell them to call head office for whatever they want to talk about. Don't waste my precious time!

They called an hour ago and I told them to call head office and someone from that same Google listing thing called and ask for same stuff after an hour. I got mad and said someone already called about it!

I really don't understand why people drive 40km when it's raining. It's just rain, not snow. I mean it's good to go slow for safety but 40km...

Gees! Another lady asked if I'm just starting at work. I don't know how to use a machine doesn't mean I just started b****! I don't drink coffee, why would I touch a coffee machine? And no-one teaches me how to use the stuff. I learn on my own. I honestly don't understand why people can't keep s*** to themselves. Just f***ing glue your mouth shut!

A** sounds like he is snapping at me again! It's not my fault that piece of s*** didn't get sent to the customer on time like I said it would. I got that info from the courier online site. I have no control on when that s*** is gonna arrive. Get a life a**.

ARG! This Mandarin speaking b**** called and at first she sounded nice, she asked "you speak Mandarin", I said "no". She asked "anyone there does". I said "no". I asked "is something wrong with your products". She hung up on me! Then she f***ing calls back and she sounded so rude this time and spoke in Mandarin, "do you speak Mandarin", "who works there can speak Mandarin", "What time do they work", "I don't know how to speak English". Like b****, what do you not understand? NO! No Mandarin!

You live in Canada! If you don't know English, find someone that does and call back! I can't help you! It's just like if I go to a place and I don't know their language I try to find someone that does to go with me or just try to use simple communication. Don't talk to me rudely, you won't get nice help! She hung up on me again after I told her to call this service company. Seriously, some Asian are just so rude! I feel ashamed sometimes because everyone think all Asian are like that but NO, only certain Asian!

I was so mad when I opened the dishwashers. They were jammed with dishes and they weren't even clean! I don't even own a dishwasher at home (wash by hand) and I know how to put the dishes nicely into a dishwasher. If it's too much dishes, just leave them in the sink, I can put them in after those ones are done. Re-washing will just waste water and energy!

I told manager and she said that's because the chef was pissed off yesterday. A** was helping out but all he did was stand there. The sous chef does some stuff sometimes and wasn't doing some. Ok, I understand but chef, think about me. I didn't do anything wrong, don't make me do 2x the work, thanks.

Earnest Ice Cream #2 Review

I wanted to try a new ice cream place because you should know I like trying new stuff. But my friend suggested to come here. I usually don't really say anything even if I don't want to, plus I wasn't driving that day, if the person driving is ok, I won't say anything.

One of my friend said she prefer the other location that we went to before. I kind of too. I think because it's a bit darker in this location (plus it was raining cats and dogs) and the staff weren't as nice as the other one (they were still nice). The other location, everyone seems happier with the loud music, no clue.

Anyways, I wanted to try the lemon poppy seed that I sampled last time but then they don't have it here. =( This time I sampled the sweet cream and fresh basil. I didn't like either one. The sweet cream tasted super duper dairy and I don't like that taste. The fresh basil was ok, it was really fresh but I think basil is better with a savoury dish. A sample of fresh basil is good but a whole scoop of it, don't think I can handle it.

I decided to stay safe and ordered the matcha green tea in a cone ($5), friends all got 2 scoops ($7). I think I like the matcha better than the London fog. Maybe because I had to eat the London fog really fast last time so I couldn't enjoy it's real flavour? I thought it was creamy and matcha flavour was just right, not too light or too strong.

Yes, I would come back again when my friends want to come back.

Hm, I got a booboo.

Bee Bee Bee Bee Blu

That dealer called again, so random, he asked if I was at the golf tournament this year for work (probably checking to see if I'm in any of the golf pictures?). I said "no, I have to stay at the office". He said "you should go and get pampered". I was thinking pampered? How do I get pampered when I have to help out and work? He said he will talk to my boss about it, I said "ok". I told my friend and she asked "how old do you think he is?". I honestly don't know, sometimes his voice sounds young, sometimes old. I wanna know too. Should I just ask him directly next time or will that just be awkward? He is like the only dealer that would talk to me and in that way too. He must be in love with my voice...

I was bored some weekends ago and I watched a few movies. "Despicable Me 3", it's funny and cute as usual. I love Agnes and her little goat (I want one too!). =) "Wonder Woman", I thought it was really good. I've heard and know what Wonder Woman is like and looks like but I've never seen any of her comics, cartoons or movies. I like how she used her power to save the world and the love story in it. I wish I was Wonder Woman. "Pirates of the Caribbean", it's ok but I wasn't really into it or maybe I was just getting tired after 2 movies? Never watched any of the previous ones so maybe I'm not into it? "Baywatch", it was funny but some parts were boring to me, tired after 3 movies? There were a lot of muscles in the movie.

I watched this variety show on a group of good celebrity friends going on a trip together. I really like their group. Well, I used to like Myolie a lot. I wish I had a group like that, a bunch of girls go on trips together and talk about anything. I do have friends like that but I wish it was a bigger group (at least 4 people). But I guess the bigger it is the more complex it gets. One of the girl said she used to be chubby before and she meet lots of guys but after she lost weight and went back to HK, not much guys. That sounds like me, more people were interested when I was chubby... Time to gain weight?

I watched this Chef Minor variety show, wow. They are so good, I don't know if the food that they made are good or not but they are better than me. I don't even cook. I did last year and it taste good but I don't know how to cook. I know how to bake. =) If I do have kids I would teach them to bake and cook. At least they will learn a skill. If they don't like it, they don't have to continue but at least they tried, know if it's their thing and know how it works. Main thing I want to tell them, don't give up easily and don't give up without trying.

You know coworkers and the chef have been saying to me, "don't ever have kids Cindy". The chef said "well, you will probably have better kids than me". Well, I don't even know if I'll have kids. And can't guarantee they will be better kids. I may be a "good" girl but it doesn't mean I'll have good kids. It's a huge fear for parents, "when they are young, scared that they won't grow. When they grow, scared that they will turn bad." Who doesn't want good kids? That's life.

Chef asked if I'm staying for the demo. I said "no, never". He said "how can I ever get you to stay, do I have to buy you dinner?". I said "maybe?". If he finds a super duper good sous chef, I may stay. It's a very low possibility because even if that person was still helping out, I wouldn't stay.

I was listening to a song by Sam Smith and his Vevo picture...I was like is that him? He lost so much weight. He looks cuter when he had more weight. Oh well.

Work made these recipe cards and forgot to add bacon on there. I have to hand write "*BACON" a thousand times (actually 999 because I messed up on one). I feel like I'm doing autograph with my photos or getting punished in school and writing "I won't do this again" a thousand times. Oh so fun...not.

Prince Philip’s Pet Name for Queen Elizabeth Will Melt Your Heart

Aww. There was a reason why I called "that person" Mr.last name. It's not because I'm trying to make it sound like we aren't that close (I couldn't think of something to call him back then). If he watches dramas, specific series maybe he'll know. Doesn't matter now, he will never know. =)

And I would not lie, complain to you"

Let Me Say Something

I want to clarify something. Yes, I still talk about "that person" but it doesn't mean anything (a friend thought I was thinking about him when I messaged her something, I probably sounded emo but I wasn't lol). Just saying what I think and how I feel on here. I talk about people I dislike too, it doesn't mean I like them or want anything to do with them. Yes, sometimes thinking about that person makes me sad but it's normal. I mean he was a part of my life for a short period of time. You should be scared if I have no feelings at all.

I'm not trying to make him sound like a horrible person on here (friends think what he did was horrible). Just saying what I have been through and my thoughts, we were just not meant to be, that's all. There is no right or wrong in love, if it doesn't work out then that's when it ends. As time goes by we'll realize how stupid we were. I will still mention him from time to time but I do not have that feeling anymore. 

Anyways, my friend has been showing guys my pictures without me knowing. She tells me about it afterwards, I don't mind, don't worry. Just don't show it to random strangers or some creepers. She showed her boss because he asked if she has anyone for this coworker. He said "she is not bad", thanks. =) But she showed my picture to that coworker before and he said "she is not my type". My friend said "he must be gay". She told her boss I'm not his type and her boss said "I told you he is gay!" LOL. I did make a joke to my friend that he reminds me of those Chinese eunuch before this whole thing. And I want to say something too, you are not my cup of tea. I told my friend that when I saw his picture (way before anyone seeing my picture) but can't believe she didn't tell him and the boss that. =( Well, it's good she didn't or they will know she showed me his picture before.

She also showed this other dude my picture long ago and she just told me about it recently. She said he is interested. But... I'm not interested... I don't mind meeting him but I don't want to hurt him. I don't think I would have the same feeling in return. When she told me he was interested I was feeling a bit "oh, what to do...". When I found out "that person" likes me I was actually happy. It's like 2 different feelings. Few dudes before any of these that were also interested in me, I had that "oh, what to do" feeling too. Can I please get a person that would give me the happy feeling again? Why is it so hard? Why does it seem so easy for other people? Why?

Sigh, you pick people, people pick you. Am I that horrible? =(

Meet on Main Review

I know my friends and I were gonna go out to eat with our vegan friends so I have been doing research like 3 weeks ahead just because sometimes it's hard to find vegan friendly restaurants. Meet on Main was on my list for few months already. I actually didn't know everything on their menu are vegan/veggie choices until I got to the restaurant. It looks pretty similar to the actually meat (burgers).

We went there around 4 ish and it was packed. Had to wait a little bit to be seated. It's not that big in there, I believe they will expand someday. The service was ok. Not sure if we were sitting in the corner and we can't be seen but no-one came to take our dishes away and my friend had to move them herself. I thought the wait for our food was kind of long to me. Maybe because I wasn't feeling well/happy and not talking so it felt like the time was going by hell slow?

We ordered 3 appetizers, sweet chili cauliflower ($9.75), hot chiggin' things ($9.75), and not-cho average nacho fries ($10.75). I didn't try any because I didn't feel like eating so I can't comment on them but I heard it's really good. To me, I thought the first 2 items were pretty expensive for the size. They ordered drinks too but don't remember what they were. The Caesar looked pretty cute.

Then we ordered our mains, I got the BC poutine ($11.50), friends got the meet burger ($13.75), the double double ($14.50) and butter chikkin ($13.75). I thought they all looked really good. I liked my BC poutine, the size was not bad. It had a curry taste to it. The little veggie bites gave it a nice texture. The fries were ok crispy. I believe those white cheese like stuff are tofu but it does have that cheese smell to it. I also saw beancurd looking things in it, I think those were the chikkin. The poutine had enough flavour, very good.

Overall, not bad. I would come back and try other stuff, maybe the burgers next time. One thing, they should refill their utensils, it was so hard for me to find a fork and one of our friend was offered one from the table beside us.

Archery Tag

I was invited by a friend to this charity archery tag for the BC wildfire. I've never played any archery related games before so this was something new to me. When I walked in I just see a bunch of people, didn't even want to look around. Yup, my introvert was kicking in. I haven't seen or play in a big group for such a long time so it will take some time to get used to. It was an indoor sand place, very cool, never been to one.

I thought everyone there was really nice, didn't get any bad vibes from anyone (didn't really talk or interact with anyone), but a bunch of guys just stood there and didn't move to let me get through! Be a gentlemen! I know not much exist nowadays. I'm not sure if those guys were part of the archery tag group or something else. Didn't look at them.

When we waiting for our turns we could go play volleyball, no-one really played, just my 2 friends and this random guy. I hate volleyball, hated it in high school. It hurts so bad. After that my hand was hurting and I was bruised and sore. =(

When it was our turn we had to put on these "gas mask", I guess they are ok clean but I did get a few bumps on my cheek after. >< I'm just too sensitive, maybe? Then we were practicing to shoot the arrow, obviously I couldn't hear the lady when she was telling us how to put the arrow... But I got it afterwards with some help, thanks!

In the beginning I was just shooting "air" but towards the end I was getting serious and actually wanted to hit someone lol. I almost hit this guy but he caught the arrow and dropped it so he was "dead". The other ones were really close to hitting the people too. I'm proud of myself.

After the games I was so sore everywhere. I think I was trying to kill myself on the "battlefield" and not the other people. My fingers hurt, I bruised my hand from the bow string thingy (they had a name for it, forgot), my butt and legs are sore like crazy. None of my friends were sore... Maybe I don't do a lot of intense exercise?

If there is a next time I think I would play again but you should know me by now, I love trying new things more then doing the same thing over and over again.

Sakura Cafe Review

I wanted to go to this other dessert place but it was far from where we had dinner so decided to come here. It's a very tiny café. When we got there, no-one was there... I guess more people would go there around lunch time to buy sandwich? They aren't really a dessert specialist café, all they really had was parfaits. Before coming my friend was looking at the menu and she said it's like an auntie/mother café and it is owned by an auntie. I thought the auntie and the girl were nice. However...

I ordered the Sakura house special parfait ($8.59) and my friend ordered the matcha parfait ($8.39). My friend wanted mochi instead of the green tea swiss roll but the auntie there said they ran out. So my friend just stick with the swiss roll.

I'm not sure why but mine was more expensive but it looks much smaller than my friends... My friend said her's didn't have any peach slices that was listed on the menu. I thought the matcha one was pretty nice looking. My friends liked that sesame ice cream and green tea swiss roll bites.

I think mine would be nice in a tall glass too but it came in a bowl... The auntie said no red bean ice cream so she put mango ice cream instead (she didn't tell me before hand...) and for some reason I have mochi balls when they said they don't have it... I think I did overhear the auntie talking to the girl in Mandarin about go and get some mochi for her. I thought all the flavours were not bad. I like the black sesame ice cream but not sure why the texture was so different compared to the green tea and mango. It was like flaky ice, more on the icy side. I thought the ice cream were probably from the store bought bucket of ice cream, not hand made. The red bean paste tasted like the ones you get from supermarkets. There were only 3 slices of tiny orange and 3 mochi.

No, I will not come back again. For that price I think I can get better ice cream elsewhere. One question, so what do you have? Oh, I like how they put lemon in their water so it had a lemon taste.

Talkshow - Marriage

I like to watch/listen to talk shows sometimes. I find some of them funny and I like listening to other people's opinion on certain topics. I was listening to this radio show about love fortune for the 3 broadcasters. One of the famous HK fortune telling man was saying how it's easier to find a second marriage after the first because you already went through it once. Then they said how getting married once is better than not getting married at all. You can divorce afterwards so tie the knot first or have a kid before getting marry.

I'm like...they talk like marriage is not a serious thing, somewhat irresponsible. Just marry whoever and divorce if it doesn't work out... I'm not that type of person. If it's not right I'm not gonna marry them just because I can tell people that I'm married. I rather stay single forever then having to marry someone that's not right and regret forever.

They were saying how as they got older they don't mind "lightning marriage" (getting married after a short period of knowing each other). I never minded that at all. To me, I think if it's right and both have feelings for each other, I don't see anything wrong with lightning marriage. I'm traditional but I'm not THAT traditional lol.

One time "that person" joked and said "Can we pretend we dated for 2 years and move in together", I honestly don't mind but then I think my parents won't let me. They are chill when they talk about other people's kids on that topic (well my dad not my mom) but I think they will react pretty crazy if it's their own daughter, don't know. I think they will need to know that guy in and out before letting me go.

One of the broadcaster said her guy friends like to get marry early instead of waiting 2 to 3 years because they rather want both partners to earn money together and make a living. Whereas, if they are still dating, the guy has to take the girl out and buy her stuff to make her happy. If they marry then they are on the same page, save up for a living, no need to always buy her stuff to make her happy and she will understand.

I kind of agree with that but somehow it sound weird in a way? Like because the guy doesn't want to spend more "unnecessary" money to make the girl happy every time so just marry her and they can save up together. But it is a good idea. If you are serious with someone and want to settle down, eventually you 2 just want to save up and not spend as much. You will have to save up A LOT nowadays. I do like that idea, I don't want to wait that long anyways if it's right.

Then he was saying how if those broadcasters miss their chance for certain love years then they would have to wait until I don't know when to get marry. Sound so sad. For one of the broadcaster, he said her next one will come when she is 45 years old. If I find someone when I'm 45, maybe I should just be alone forever. Not like I will be having kids by then. Might as well adopt a kid and be a single parent or just enjoy life as a solo. Have a few flings here and there, joking. =)

How much of these fortune telling stuff can you really trust? My friend's uncle did a fortune thing for me awhile ago. I don't think it's all that true although that friend said it's 99.99999% true. Maybe because I don't know my exact time of birth (it does make a difference). The thing said I'll marry at an early age. Uh...it didn't happen... Sometimes I think it's better not to know, no disappointments. =)


Random moment, I wasn't gonna put a song on because I didn't have time. Decided to put this one on last minute. Heard it from a super of drama but I like it.
Selena - Dreaming Of You
"Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too
Wonder if you ever see me, and I
Wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?"

Raisu Review

I was doing research on where I can eat those round sushi but I couldn't find it. Instead I found Raisu with a beautiful picture of their sushi. They have a lot of other sister restaurants but I think only this one had the pretty looking sushi. It's located somewhere on West Broadway, an area that I hardly go to because after skytrain I still need to take the bus down there.

The website said it's better to make a reservation, so I did and the lady said we should come on time. If we can't make it on time, let them know and they will hold the table for 10 more minutes (I believe she said that). Guess what? I was late. I had my day all planned out (my plans never work out...) but I had to go to the bank before that and that took a long time, longer than I expected. So I had to rush to skytrain and the bus took forever because it's the weekend.

I did call them to let them know we will be late. We arrived there like 1-2 minutes after the extra 10 minutes that they have given us. We were still seated. I don't think they will actually not let you eat if you missed your reservation time, we'll just have to wait. There were tons of spots when we got there. I wasn't scared that we won't be seated but more worried that we can't order the thing we wanted to try (10 servings per day during lunch and dinner).

Anyways, the restaurant was ok big and the service was really good. I think everyone that works there speaks Japanese? I hear them yell out Japanese to the kitchen people and say hi, bye, thank you to people.

So first thing that we did when they ask if we are ready to order, asked if they have the ocean offering sushi ($24). So happy she said yes, and she went to save us one first. We also ordered the snow crab and sea urchin creamy udon ($18). Oh, did I say they are pretty expensive?

The ocean offering sushi was so pretty and colourful, I'm not sure why they topped it with a bunch of "grass". It'll look better without it. We threw the "grass" in the udon. The sushi were like the aburi type of sushi, long rectangular ones. However, these were square shaped. The name say ocean offering, why is there a tamago in there? How is that an "ocean" thing?

I thought the sushi were good, I'm not really a seafood person so all I can say is it had a very seafood taste to it. Other then that, I like how some of them had a clear jelly like sauce on top. I'm not sure if it's the sauce that gave it a tangy taste or was it the rice. Normally I would dip sashimi items in soya sauce so I can't taste it but this time I didn't. I wanted to try the original taste.

I didn't know it came with miso soup. Wow, that was one salty miso soup I've ever had in my life. My friend said it had a lot of stuff in it, daikon and pieces of mushroom.

The udon, I'm not sure why they put such little bit of udon in such a BIG bowl. I couldn't really see any sea urchin. I saw a bit of snow crab. I've actually never tried sea urchin before, my friend found a bit for me to try and it just taste salty ish with some seafood taste. The udon was in a creamy white soup, it had these tiny red stuff, not sure if it's dry shrimp roe. I don't know how to describe the taste but it was ok. I honestly think the udon is over priced. It's just udon with a bit of seafood...

Overall, I thought it's not bad but it is pricey and the portions aren't big. I think I would come back again but maybe once in a blue moon or never. Their bento box is also very pretty but it's $24 and the portions looks tiny.

Not A Cat Person

So my friend brought me to volunteering at this cat place. I'm not a cat person, never was and never will. My friend only volunteers there and not the dog one. I just wanted to see what it's like and ever since coming back from vacation I wanted to volunteer. When I got into the cat place...SO MANY CATS! We went into this house thing, it had this strong smell, kind of like those pet store smell but stronger. I hope my house doesn't smell like that, we clean little princess everyday and every time she comes back from outside.

It was dinner time for the cats so we had to prepare their food. We just scooped out cans of wet food and put them where they should be. This grey cat was on the counter the whole time and eating from every plate we were preparing. She was memorable and I remember she had this rough patch on her ear. When we left the house she followed and likes me patting her. When my friend was washing the tin cans I was sitting down and that cat came to me and want me to pat her. She would follow me when I walk to my friend. The lady that works there or something said the cat's name is Iris.

 

While I was patting Iris, other cats came and want to be pat as well. Iris got mad and MEOW and wanted to attack the other cat. I got scared because little princess wouldn't get mad all of a sudden and try to attack at home... If she does we know when because she does that when we touch her feet/hands or pick her up when she is sleeping.

Then my friend showed me around the place so I had to leave Iris. Cats just loves to follow and come to you when they want to. My friend and I kept taking pictures of the cats. It's not his first time there and he is still taking pictures like crazy. =)

Peppercorn

We went to this other house and I was patting this black cat, it seems to like it. Then all of a sudden it opens its mouth to "bite" my hand... It wasn't hard because I didn't feel any teeth or was my cardigan just thick? I was like WTF!? Then I stop patting and start making unhappy faces at it, I guess it's trying to tell me to stop patting or something? I told my friend and he said maybe it likes you. I'm like........ if it likes me it wouldn't bite me!

Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch?

So Cute!

We went back to where Iris was. She was sleeping under this chair and I went to her. She came out of the chair and let me pat. I was kneeling and it hop onto my legs, so cute! Little princess doesn't even do that... Then this other cat came and I was trying to touch the other one to be fair. I kind of lost balance and almost fell and Iris jumped off and got mad. She probably thought I was trying to hurt her? Then I was patting her for a bit then all of a sudden she pawed me, almost like a scratch. I'm like WTF!? So I left and it kind of followed but stayed a bit far from me. I went to pat other cats and Iris was just looking from afar.

I honestly don't understand cats. If they like you they will come to you and if they don't like you they teeth/paw you. Little princess is almost like a cat, she doesn't like it when we bother her sometimes and make this noise or try to bite us but we know she won't hurt us. I guess it's like human. When we don't like something we get mad or annoyed too. Maybe I just don't know cats well enough?

Sorry, don't know your name

 My friend said if I'm interested and they ask him to volunteer and he is busy he can give them my info. I told him I don't want to go alone. It's so quiet there, more cats than human. I thought it's easy to meet people at volunteering... He said he doesn't mind going alone because the cats are there. I don't understand them so I don't want to go by myself. I still prefer dogs more than cats. I may go again if they really need someone since it's super close to my workplace.

Random moment, I suddenly thought of this song because I remember watching the MV with a cat.
I like it and it makes me wanna cry. =( You will understand if you have a pet. Bolded part makes my eyes watery. =(
