Pole Dancing

Yes, took pole dancing again because there was a Groupon. I actually feel more comfortable now. Maybe I'm a tiny bit more confident?

The first class was horrible, I was so lost and felt a bit embarrassed. My knees were all bruised up from hitting against the pole and the floor. I don't know how people can do this all the time. Would it hurt in the future when they get old?

The second to fourth classes were so much better. I was getting the hang of it. Some moves were still hard but after many times, it was good. Sometimes the moves work better on certain sides, it's weird.

I'm actually feeling comfortable enough to learn pole dancing by myself without a friend. Tons of girls come by themselves. Everyone is pretty nice so no one will look down at you. Some people may seem a bit cocky but they just have the skills.

I like the instructors, they seem to recognize and remember my name. They usually praise me and when I don't preform the moves as well they kind of joke and say "come on Cindy, show me a better one". =)

I'll go back again when there is another coupon. It's quite pricey without coupon. I am a "c lai" after all.

Ora Sushi Review

This year I told my girlfriends to surprise me for my birthday. They took me to Ora sushi. It was quite packed when we got there. We had to wait a bit but it was ok. The restaurant isn't that big.

The service was not bad, they were really nice. They had quite a few special rolls to choose from which was nice. Let me see if I can remember all the dishes correctly.

We got the ora roll ($12.95), 911 roll ($12.95), chicken yakiudon ($11.95) and yam tempura ($6.95).

Usually special rolls won't go wrong. Ora roll was good and really pretty, I think it said it's spicy but I didn't feel anything. It's kind of like a cali roll which I love.

 

911 roll, to me it's not that spicy (I think my tolerance level went up) but my friends said it's spicy. It was good and nicely plate with a messy look to it. It's deep fried cali roll with spicy tuna and other spicy stuff. It wasn't really crunchy but I like it. It has everything that I like.

 

Chicken yakiudon, The chicken was ok but the outside layer feels a little batter-ish to me, not sure. The udon was not bad but the sauce wasn't really my thing. It had this sourish taste to it which was interesting.

 

Yam tempura, can't really go wrong with this. The batter was thin and the yam was good, I like yam. There were 5 pieces, ok size.

Yes, I would come back again.

Thanks for dinner! =)

Bee Blu V

Lol, this year a FedEx guy said Happy Valentine's Day to me, I didn't say anything back to him. I should have but oh well. He was ok looking haha!

It's sad but I like how my bestie said "that person" was the right person but wrong timing. Someone was right timing but wrong person. Can that right person with the right timing show up soon? I don't mind seeing "that person" again. That's what the heart wants the most....sad eh?

I just realized most of the guys I'm talking/talked to are from the same area. Are guys there all single? Are there no good girls in that area lol? "That Person" live there too, don't know about now.

So Dad told me to put a fragile tag on my luggage, it had to go to special baggage. They had me open it to check. Like really... Waste my time. There weren't even anything fragile in there. Never doing that again.

Watching a new drama, "what's wrong with being alone? You can still eat well, dress well and enjoy life alone", I agree! "Want to be friends after divorce? Men may be ok but women, never". That's not true, I feel like guys are more against being friends after something happens, at least that's what I have been experiencing. I'm ok with being friends but it's a no way for the guys. I don't know why.

10 Shocking Stories of Bizarre Bridezilla Behaviour
LOL! I read number 5 and 10, sounds like what happened to one of my bestie. Number 5 is what that b**** kinda said to her. Number 10 is what I think bestie should have done and not that expensive coin.

No song.

YTV Burlesque Experience

Someone suggested to watch this so I agreed. Obviously I didn't do research before buying the tickets... I thought it's YTV, shouldn't be too bad although it said 19+. I knew it was more of an adult thing but didn't know it was this adult lol.

It was a stripe tease show. I've never watched one before and it was very interesting especially when I watched it with a male who I'm not that close with. I honestly don't mind watching it with a guy, I mean we are old enough.

Anyways, I did enjoy it. I watched it from a performing arts view but some guys there may watched it in a different view, I'm not sure so I won't comment. 

I really like their dance moves, it was really nice. I guess because I take pole dancing so I'm interested. Some moves did remind me of pole dancing and it was really sexy. I can't really perform sexy dances so I'm impressed by people that can. 

I found the performers super brave and confident, not everyone has that courage to stripe infront of a big crowd (they covered their private parts). *claps* 

It did bring back a lot of memories. I remember watching all those cartoons and shows when I was young. They should air them again on YTV.

Will I watch again, uh, um, sure? Maybe with a guy who I'm closer with or my girlfriends. And when it's a shorter version, not 2ish hours. I was so tired from it, I passed out when I got home and napped almost the whole day the next day. It was for sure a great experience. I only live once, have to try different things.

Man Ri Sung Review

It's my second time here. Someone picked this place because it's quiet so we can talk. I've never done a review on them before because I went way before I started blogging on restaurants.

It was pretty empty when we got there, it got a bit busy but not really.

I got the soft tofu soup ($12.99) and someone got the potatoe and pork rib soup ($12.99). It came with side dishes and refillable.

I think when I came last time I also ordered the soft tofu soup. It was good, it was actually spicy this time, it wasn't spicy last time although I asked for spicy. The tofu were soft (no really) and there weren't a lot of seafood but it's ok. There was only one shrimp and I'm not a big fan of it so I gave it to someone.

I tried a tiny bit of the pork soup but I thought it tasted interesting, don't know.

I would come back again, it's not bad. Their portions are quite big. I was super full from the soup.

Thank you for dinner. =)

Networking Experience VI

I was still happy about this meetup but my heart did sink a bit after a particular text message. I didn't really get that feeling that I got on my birthday but I still wanted to see where this will lead us to.

During dinner, I realized he didn't ask me as much stuff as he used to. He didn't give me that super interested feeling anymore. From the talk I felt like we are very different.

After dinner we passed by this ice cream place that I wanted to try. I wasn't planning to try because we were going to a show but he said "no, let's go, I don't think I'll come here again". I thought aw, ok. We were still having fun and talking and stuff.

Then we went to the show, that was totally a surprise but I was totally fine with it (content of the show). We were still asking each other stuff and he was still very nice.

After the show we shared an umbrella so I grabbed onto his arm. I guess things got awkward after that. He kept smiling in this way and I was like..... When we were about to part, he looked like he wasn't sure to give me a hug or not so I gave him a hug, I've never felt so lost before. I thought I had some feelings for him but I didn't feel anything from that hug. I wasn't sure if that was normal or not.

He still sounded happy when we messaged each other but I didn't message for a day and hoping he would because I told him about initiating text first. Then he ignored my message and my senses tell me something was wrong. Don't know why but my heart started to hurt. Oh well, I guess we were not meant to be and "天" helped me make a decision.

I would really appreciate it if he said a reason and not just disappear but I guess the world is different now. Plus, we weren't that close to give each other reasons? He was a nice person but after what he did, he isn't nice anymore. I guess he also didn't feel anything from that hug? People say a hug can tell a lot. If I only went out once with him then I don't care if he disappear but we went out a few times... I thought he was a responsible guy... He disappointed me!

I was gonna ask him to meet up so I can clear thing up and see if we were on the same page but there is no need. His actions mean a lot already. Why do I have to make it seem like he is the only person that I can go out with? Save some dignity and find a new tree girl! Everyone has been saying, "there are plenty of fishes in the sea". It's true, there are always guys messaging me but just not really someone I would want to be with. I'll still talk to them and see where it leads us to just like this one. NEXT!

Out of the blu, watching a new drama and thought the lyrics of this song was not bad. Always find songs at the right timing. When is my right timing in finding prince charming?
吳若希 Jinny - 找個離開你的理由
"想得很美真心不會變 現實原來在改變
經多少晚再失眠 流下眼淚太多但求別要再糾纏
即使心痛必須講再見 別掉回頭又心軟
天空海闊看不完 然而共你夢想的方向漸遠
讓我從頭自愛 沒有幸福的戀愛沒法追回來
沒有結果的感慨就要說分開
讓世間都意外 重新開始信心總會在
期待下次該可更學會愛
星光很美數不到永遠 別在猶豫亂方寸
一分一秒已數完 沉默下去陌生的感覺漸遠
無論是錯或對都該放手 只好講句我們緣份不夠
今天以後 誰愛我 誰牽手 從頭換季清空記念所有
期待下季 還是精彩 有一天可再愛"

Tramonto Review

Dine out #2, I put down for birthday celebration on the reservation but no-one asked whose birthday it was or anything when we got there. The place was ok big but not much people were there. It got busier as time went by.

Service was good, the waiter was nice. Random but the table beside us was very interesting. They were all on their cellphone pretty much the whole time. They hardly said anything to each other. I was like...... why are you even out for dinner then? Might as well stay home and use your cellphone. People nowadays...

We all ordered spiced winter squash veloute, 2 quinoa crusted cod, pan seared pheasant medallions and 3 milk chocolate cranberry canele ($40 each).

They actually served bread, I remember when I did dine out the first 2 years, everywhere pretty much served bread but not anymore.

The squash soup was not bad, very squash taste. It had a little kick to it which I really like. Kind of warms me up a bit but my friend doesn't like spicy stuff and said her throat was burning. Western soup are always pretty filling, I guess because of all those cream and how it's all blended up.

 

The quinoa cod, I thought it was somewhat dry, it would be better with some kind of sauce or something but oh well. There were these coral like stuff which I thought looked really pretty, it had a very "sea" taste to it. The clam looking seafood were really pretty and everything else were good, just lack a bit flavour.

 

The medallion was interesting. I thought it would have that quail taste but it doesn't. It tastes much better than quail, it had a very nice fragrance taste to it (not like perfume). It's hard to explain but it was not bad. The risotto was not bad, well flavoured, creamy.

 

The dessert, we were all like...so where is the milk chocolate. We couldn't taste any and we only see a white chocolate décor on it. Other than that I thought the dessert was really good. The cakes were tiny and I really like the texture. It reminds me of this "yum cha" dish, the Malaysian cake. That's because it has these air bubbles inside. The texture was a bit chewy which was really cool. Love the ice cream.

 

Overall, it was good but we all thought it's not worth the price. I would still come back.

Bee Blu IV

So I have been hearing stories from friends about relationships. I think I'm just gonna stay single and just go on dates forever. I've always wanted kids but then as I got older my thinking is a bit different and I don't care if I have any or not. The world seems very different nowadays and I'm not sure. I don't know if there are any good guys left in this world anymore. At least I haven't found him yet. If and only if I find someone that is worth it then I'll think about all of the above. Yea, like I will, I'm never lucky...

From all these networking experiences I actually learned a lot about different industries and the dudes themselves. It's quite interesting. I also realized the texting difference from guys that I meet IRL and online. People I met IRL would always message me and I don't really have to do much. The guys I meet online... most of them take forever to reply or they don't really initiate. Is it because they have too many options and they are talking to like a million girls out there?

Maybe that's one reason why I didn't want to try this online thing for so long. I can't tell how true they are. At least guys IRL I've actually been with them for awhile and know if they are good or not. I really can't tell with these online people.

I was watching this sit com and the girl in the show said "I don't want to be like my mom, spent all her money on her boyfriend. I just want to save a bunch of money so I can take care of myself. Guys are not trustworthy". That's totally what I'm thinking about. Yes, I'm saving up for my 9 year retirement so I can take care of myself. I don't see myself getting married anymore so it's time to make changes. And yes, guys, most are not trustworthy. Quite disappointed in them.

We have some new neighbours moved in and one night they turned the music up so loud and it already passed 11:30pm. We never had such a problem before until now. All our neighbours are pretty good. Like respect other people! I hate how it's like rap type of songs and I can feel the beat. I hate it!

Hey, Chantal: I’m Sick Of Dating. Should I Settle For A 6 Outta 10 Relationship?
Hm...maybe that's why I've decided to just keep dating around until I find "the one". I know what I want but sometimes I just want to stick to someone just because of the feeling (spoiled/treated like a princess). It won't be good in the long run if I don't actually "feel" it.

No out of the blue, no time to search on vacation.

Gotham Steakhouse Review

Went here for a company dinner. A coworker knows the chef and the chef haven't cooked for a big group of people for 20 years and he is doing it just for us. I feel so special.

When I got in it was ok, very dark in there. When we left around 10:40pm, the place was still super packed. I'm surprised people stay out that late. Or maybe I'm just too good and don't stay out late lol. The people were really nice there. Our server (?) was really nice and he looks not bad hahahahaha!

When I sat down I was surprised that we are having a 6 course meal. That's a first for me, I usually have max 4 course I think. I don't know how much the menu was because I didn't have to pay and from what I heard I think the restaurant was treating us but no clue.

We could order as much drinks as we want. I ordered a bellini. I thought it would be sweet but this one was kinda strong. Our server helped me ad more orange juice to it.

 

Well here we go, first course, amuse bouche. It was raw tuna, I thought it was good. It had enough flavour with a bit of soy sauce (I heard him say it's a yuzu soy but not sure). My coworker thought "uh, raw tuna?", I'm thinking, you eat sushi...there are sashimi too... But I understand not every Caucasian can stand raw stuff. He also said it had no taste but I thought it was fine...

 

Second course, seared scallop. It's my first time having risotto and it was pretty good, I think they put cheese but I couldn't taste it. It said truffle on the menu but I thought truffle had a stinky smell, I didn't smell it. Maybe I've never tried it alone so I'm not sure what it taste like? I love scallops and it was super soft but I would like it a bit crispy/caramelized, it wasn't. There was foie gras too. I personally do not like any organs because of that bitter ish taste. This one wasn't as bad but it was really soft and kind of gross looking. I had to eat it with the risotto so I don't taste it. Some coworkers didn't eat it because it's liver. The pork wine sauce had a tangy taste to it, looked like blood lol.

Third course,mushroom bisque. I usually dislike mushroom soup but I had to drink it. It wasn't as bad as what I had before. The mushroom taste wasn't as bad. It was very creamy and for sure filling. The mushroom bites on top was not bad, had a strong flavour to it.

 

Fourth course, sable fish. The fish was really soft, almost melts in my mouth. It was well flavoured, didn't need any extra sauce. It was good with the miso green pea puree.

 

Fifth course, yes the main course, Canadian prime filet. I was already getting full. I thought the first 4 courses weren't that big but this one was huge! There were 2 pieces of lobster meat, oh so good! I don't eat beef but I ate that whole big piece of prime rib steak or something. It was good, it didn't have that strong beef taste that I dislike. The red colour did bother me a bit but I'm like just eat it! It was very soft and perfectly done even though I'm not a beef person. I wish I knew we could take out. If I knew I would have packed the whole beef home for my parents to eat. There were potatoes on the side that I wanted to eat but I was so full to the max, I love potatoes. There was still 1 branch of veggie on my plate left but I couldn't eat anymore... The tomatoe that was on there tasted a bit different to me, not sure how to describe the taste but it wasn't really my thing and I love tomatoes... I ate them all.

 

Last course, yes, dessert, old fashioned chocolate brownie. How can we not have dessert. I was super full but I'm in! Oh so good! That vanilla ice cream and that brownie AHHH! Strong chocolate taste in the brownie with some nuts but not a lot. Warm with some ice cream. What's better than that? Brownie as dessert may look cheap but that did not taste cheap at all.

 

Yes, I will definitely come back but only if someone is willing to pay for my meal (it's an expensive restaurant). I won't go to a steak house, not even a steak person. Can we have company dinner here again? I think we will be stuffed every year. =) It was a super long meal. We were there for like 4 ish hours and each course took awhile.

Networking Experience V

Yes, another date with that same guy from "Networking Experience IV". Honestly, I thought I was gonna spend my birthday with my family only because no-one was free. Then I told him it's my birthday and he asked if I want to do lunch.

I've never spent my birthday with a guy before and the night before I actually felt emotional and had happy tears. I thought he is super nice, he is treating me (me!) to dine out and he was willing to drive me and we aren't even together. He is even willing to come all the way down to my area (most guys rather meet in the middle somewhere and get there yourself). It seems like he is interested because if he isn't he wouldn't spend so much time and money on someone. However, I won't know the answer and I don't want my hopes too high because I'll be in pain when I fall from above. I do hope something good will happen but what can I do if it doesn't, right?

He is such a gentlemen. I don't think I've ever met one in my life before. When I was waiting at the skytrain station he actually came with an umbrella and walked me to his car. He opened the car door for me every single time. Who does that? But I guess this is just in the beginning. He will stop eventually although it would be nice if he continues forever. I'm not too used to it but my bestie said "So? Let him spoil you, you deserve it".

After lunch he took me to mini golf. I've never played before. It was fun but I think I was getting tired near the end. During the game I was actually thinking he's not bad (as a person not how he played in the game lol, well, that too). I got the problem that I had out of consideration because of his other good stuff. There was a prize at the end for the person that got more points and he gave it to me instead. Although it was chocolate, I was still happy. I'm very simple.

Let's just hope he won't disappoint me like those other guys. I made it clear that I wasn't seeing anyone else although I felt a little disappointed when he said he was... I guess I'm just stupid for not talking to other guys... Friends said I should keep my options open but I honestly can't focus on so many guys at once. If you know me you should know how loyal I am by now.

I'm also afraid of what will happen when I'm on vacation for 3 weeks... Will the feeling disappear like what happened with that person last year? Can't believe I'm doing this again... I did think about it before I started this whole networking thing but I thought hey, it's a good test to see if some guy is really worth my time or not. If he does like me and wants a future together he will wait until the end of the world, right? We'll see, please don't disappoint me!

When I heard your voice my heart beat in time
I know our love is strong I know you had to go

We are strong (I never want to be alone)
You shut your eyes and see me through a veil of truth
Will you remember me"

Red Robin Review

If some guy didn't suggest this place I don't think I would ever try. Honestly, I'm not really a chain restaurant person as you can tell from all my reviews but I'm not against it and I will try as long as I've never been there.

It wasn't too busy when we got there. I thought service was really good and the waiter that was serving us was really nice. He would like keep coming back to us to check if we are doing ok or is the food good or something. 

I'm just gonna talk about my own food because I have nothing to comment on the other person's. I got the crispy chicken burger with fries ($12.99). I thought the burger was not bad, it had enough flavours and I love the pickles in it. I really like that sour taste but I don't like the purple onions in it. I don't enjoy eating raw onions. The chicken was alright, crispy ish. The fries kind of felt dry to me, don't know. Maybe I didn't use ketchup?

Yea, nothing much to say for this.

Oh, you get unlimited fries but I was super full at the end.

No, don't think I will come back again, great place but not a great memory for me (not from the restaurant but from the person I was with). I'll stick with my cheap fast food restaurants.

Bee Blu III

I'll be on vacation so I may be posting around different times.

I'm done with networking, not gonna play that game until I'm back from my vacation. It's such a tiring game. Don't you think? Meeting all these new people makes me kinda miss "that person"... I kinda want to see him again...it's been a year already. It's a tiring process, having to say my stories a million times.

Lol, so I'm back to cleaning the kitchen. Manager was like "welcome back". She said she is so happy that I'm back to the kitchen because I always keep things clean. I actually don't mind. Something for me to do and I just want to have a clean workplace.

I'm finally watching "Inside Out" after seeing part of it from "Disney on Ice". I already like it in the beginning. It was a really good movie. The ending made me tear and thought what will I be like without my family, especially memories with my family. =( Memories and emotions, totally my thing. Lines, "don't worry, I'll make tomorrow another good day, I promise", "didn't care about the memory, it fades".

I love the last part where the guy dropped his bottle and she helped him pick it up and in the guy's mind "Girl! Girl! Girl! Ahhh!". I would like to meet a guy like that again. I think "that person" had that moment when we met. =)

Watched "The Good Dinosaur", it was a bit boring but I thought the part where the dad saved his kid was sad. Spot is so cute!

Watched "Coco", it was boring for some parts but it was good near the end. You should know how important family is to me, they are my everything. Something I do not ever want to forget. They will always be in my heart even when I leave this world. I do hope families do reunite after death.

Out of the blue, I like this song from "Coco". I'll remember my family! I hope "that person" will remember me too and regret.
Miguel - Remember Me (Dúo) (From "Coco"/Official Video) ft. Natalia Lafourcade
"Remember me
Though I have to say goodbye
Remember me
Don't let it make you cry
For ever if I'm far away
I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you
Each night we are apart
Remember me
Though I have to travel far
Remember me
Each time you hear a sad guitar
Know that I’m with you
The only way that I can be
Until you’re in my arms again
Remember me
If you close your eyes and let the music play
Keep our love alive, I'll never fade away
Remember me
For I will soon be gone
Remember me
And let the love we have live on
And know that I'm with you the only way that I can be
So, until you're in my arms again
Remember me"

Go Out or Not?

You know how I've been talking to people that I'm not interested but some are considered ok. I have been reading online to see what people say. Most people said you should just straight up say you are not interested in them. Don't waste their time or your time.

Some say that you should go out and try because they actually ended up marrying that person that they were not interested in in the beginning.

I actually think the second one would be better unless if I know deep down I will not go for him at all if he was the last man on earth lol! I mean most of them are ok so I will give them and myself a chance. I mean I'll never know until I actually meet the person right? Maybe his picture isn't that great but he looks totally ok IRL or the other way around. Maybe he sounds boring through messages but super talkative IRL. You will never know until you meet them unless if you know them IRL.

And if it doesn't work out at least I tried and I gained another experience. I'm networking right now, becoming more confident in talking to people. I think I'm ok confident at least I wasn't shaking or doing anything like I was nervous. Or maybe because I just have no feelings for them so I'm not even nervous?

Finding someone that understands me 100% is hard. Some people think I don't talk much is weird and it makes them uninterested. Well, that's your loss not mine. I can talk a lot once I feel like I know you a bit more and can be trusted. I don't just open up to anyone.

But if dudes out there can't wait then don't wait. It just means you are not worth it.

Forage Review

Well, it's that time of the year again, my favourite dine out time. =) Decided to try this place because the reviews seem good. This was my first dine out of 2018 ($30 per person).

When we got there it was ok packed. The atmosphere was dark with loud music. Good service, the girl was nice.

For our first course, I got the grilled Humboldt squid and my friend got their award winning chowder ($5 more). The squid had no taste at all but it was not bad after I mixed it with everything. It was chewy and the kimchi and soy gave it a nice flavour, a little kick but not too much. The puffed wild rice had a crunchy texture and the taste was different compared to normal rice (I think I talked about wild rice in good bowl review?).

I tried my friend's and it was not bad but I thought the chowder was thicker than normal? My friend said it's normal but don't know and doesn't really matter. The thicker it is, the more flour or something they added to thicken it, that's all. It's cute how it's on a tiny cast iron pan.

Second course, I got the crispy halibut cheeks and friend got the harissa grilled duck leg. I was a bit disappointed at the halibut dish. The halibut itself was good, ok crispy but no taste. They should have a sauce or something for that dish, really. I just ate it with the green cauliflower cous cous which went pretty good together. There was this yogurt thing on the side and I didn't like it. I think it may have been Greek yogurt and I'm not a big fan of that. I don't like that thickness and it was on the sour side, it reminds me a bit of cheese or something and I don't like it. There were some root veggie in it and the taste was funny to me. Overall I just didn't enjoy that main course at all but I finished it all up. I don't like to waste food and I do respect the chefs in making a meal for people.

I tried my friend's duck and it was good, I guess I just picked the wrong dish. At first I wanted the duck but then I'm not really a duck person.

 

Last course, dessert, can't really go wrong with dessert. It's sad but it was my favourite course... I got the chocolate cherry bar and friend got the elderflower cheese puff. I really like the chocolate bar, it was very chocolate and a bit of cherry sour taste. The little dark pink puff on top was really cool, it had a melt in your mouth feeling. I also really like the almond shavings, very almond. I wish it was bigger, I have lots of room for dessert lol.

 

I don't eat cheese but I tried my friend's and it didn't have any cheese and it was good. It looked like a huge cream puff. It was sweet and crunchy and the gin spiked blueberry tasted a bit like lychee which was not bad. They said this dessert is always on their menu.

 

Will I come back again, hm...this is hard. Yes and no. Yes, if their menu is interesting and makes me want to try. No, because the main course really disappoint me, not my thing.

Networking Experience IV

Yes, someone new this time. WAY BETTER than last time. He did everything that cheap a**hole didn't do.

I don't know why I don't really want to talk about this one. I guess I like to talk about bad stuff more than good stuff. Weird right? Who doesn't want to show off on social medias and stuff. Well, not me. But I'll say some.

He was very nice and very gentlemen. He was on time I think, I didn't even look at the time. I could tell he was trying his best. I'm not very talkative and run out of topics easily and I thought it would turn him off but not yet. He said I was actually quite talkative. I don't know, I guess it really depends on the person. If you ask me something I'll say stuff. If you don't ask me then I won't say much because I can't think on the spot. He did put me on the spot 2 times, he asked "what else do you want to ask/talk about?"... He even said "I guess I just put you on the spot". At least he realized. =)

He was ok confident but I kind of felt like he was nervous? He kept drinking his tea lol, maybe he was thirsty? And it felt like he just didn't want it to end or something. I'm not sure if I looked like I wasn't interested because I was very tired after dinner and I kind of wanted to leave (I didn't say anything). But he kind of wanted to stay, so sure. It's better if he wants to see me longer than just eat and leave. My friends said that was a pretty long dinner, 2ish hours. I don't even think I eat that long with my friends lol!

Yes, he did treat. He also walked me to the parking lot entrance which I thought about if he would do such a thing and he did. I didn't want him to walk me to the car but it would be nice if he does later on. Friends said he seems genuine and a gentlemen. So far, he is passing. He also offers his food and he would order the food for me. He also didn't seem to mind me taking pictures of food, at least he didn't show it.

He asked if I wanted to see him again, I said "sure" because I can't tell anything from that one dinner. It takes time and right now I honestly don't know. He is very nice but he hasn't melt my cold heart just yet. If he can melt that poor thing, I think I'm all in.

Really, what does a girl want? Just someone who treats her well, hopefully like a princess. Someone that really likes her, can take care of her, makes her happy and never gives up. Yes, there may be things that bothers me a bit, but if he can melt my heart, it doesn't matter. I told my brother and he said no-one is perfect and I know. That's because I'm so not perfect and makes me wanna tear when I think about it. Just want someone to accept who I really am inside and not outside.

Out of the blue, I don't fully understand every word but I like a few lyrics. Ok, the MV doesn't look that happy at the end...
鍾欣潼 羅力威《星星的眼淚》
等待另一邊來的溫暖
這緊張的害我也睡不著
想要的世界 有你圍繞
我過的每天原來都有你的陪伴
如果哪一天 消失不見
閉上眼能感覺 奇蹟會出現
就算等了幾百天
牽你的手 一起走 到最後
把你的手 貼緊我 的胸口
愛的時間 會不會 到永遠
這刻永遠 停留在 一瞬間
我多麼希望每天都能在你身邊
我答應不會 消失不見
只能夠安靜 欣賞

Faubourg Review

Had to kill time while I wait for a friend to finish work and to go for dinner.

There were quite a few people in there when I got in.

Anyways, I got the afternoon tea trio pastries ($6.30).

The left cake. Not 100% sure what it was but it was a bit hard to cut into. Maybe too dry? It was ok soft to chew though... There is a custard in the middle. Like hazelnut taste. The chocolate on top had an ok strong chocolate taste. There was a thin layer of chocolate at the bottom.

My favourite was the matcha. There was a matcha taste but not too strong. I really like that matcha mousse thing on top. I think there is a layer of white chocolate between mousse and cake. The cake was soft. I don't know why but the white chocolate roll on top tasted like it's old chocolate. Or maybe it had some matcha in it? Or Maybe because I don't like white chocolate.

The last one, I'm not too sure but tasted a bit funny to me. It has a caramel taste to it and a minty ish taste but it's not mint. A mousse like top layer then a cake layer and a super thin white chocolate layer on the bottom. I think there are some kind of nuts in the cake. I don't really like texture cakes.

I didn't really like the lady that was working there. She didn't smile and seems like she doesn't like Asian or something. Oh well.

No I won't come back again. Didn't really like their cakes. I have had better cakes than this.

Bee Blu II

I just want to say thank you to everyone that celebrated my birthday with me this year! I asked for surprise (restaurants) this year and they were all very good. I'm super thankful to have all of you in my life and I hope all of you can celebrate my birthday with me every single year. <3

Aww, my manager is the best as I have been saying forever. She bought me a big bag of chocolates for my birthday and she said I always see chocolates in your drawer. =) She also hand made a cake for me. Thank you so much. I'm gonna be so sad when you retire, I'm gonna be bullied around. =( Hopefully by then, prince charming would have saved me and I don't have to work anymore yay! In my dreams...

You know my heart kinda hurt after reading some messages. I don't feel loved in a way and my heart honestly sinked a bit. I know someone didn't mean it that way and someone did explain after a bit but it still hurts a bit. If someone had that explanation as the first message I don't think my heart would hurt as bad. I'm not making any assumptions but I'm just a bit sensitive and fragile. I think I'll be fine when I see someone next time. I just need some alone time.

I've been very tired lately, I don't know if I've been going out like 5 days straight or what but I think I should get a check up soon if this continues. ><

I have been watching this drama, at first I thought it was kind of boring and no clue what it is about but now it's getting better and more interesting. It talks about the past when women were treated poorly by the men in their village. I don't know but I really like shows where women try to gain power and fight back. I'm very glad that we are treat ok fairly nowadays. I would hate to live during that time.

Lol, nice! Can't wait to see those lovely sand when I go someday.

No out of the blu, busy.

Not Sure How I Feel IV

I was gonna post my "Not Sure How I Feel" posts but she got fired already. Manager said she was crying when she got fired and I felt bad so don't wanna say too much. However, I am happy that she is gone now. At least I won't have a demanding manager in the future. She was just not my ideal manager, she hardly said my name which was really rude. She doesn't greet me sometimes, even more rude. I think she worked for 3 days and I heard she was asking for a door for her office (need some privacy...). People that worked for 15 plus years don't even have a door. Like WOW! My bestie said "who does she think she is".

So funny, a coworker came down and said "I heard she got fired because of you". I said "no" then he asked "are you sure"? I said "I think so". LOL! I only told manager about it and she said she didn't tell the boss about it so I don't think I have anything to do with it.

My senses are usually pretty damn good. I sensed that a coworker didn't like her because normally he is nice and ok happy but when he was with her, it's all gone. So I asked my manager and she said yea, he doesn't. She told me that boss knows about it and he has been keeping an eye on her. That's good, I thought he wouldn't know and keep her forever. Then I heard another coworker said how she ordered him to get rid of some stuff and snapped her fingers at him. He said to me, "she should know where she stands and she has been here for only a month". I know right?

Yea, I think she was a bit TOO MUCH. She probably thought she would never get fired after getting hired. Sorry buttercup, life is cruel. Manager said no-one wants change, and I agree. I hate change. We are just too used to our manager, she is good to everyone and everyone loves her. I'm sure everyone wants her to stay but she has to retire someday. We just have to learn to adapt to something new. Well, I just hope we can find a good fit, someone just like our current manager.

Sometimes it's a good thing to be let go of, you will thank those companies/people when you find something you like, enjoy or way better than what you had before. Trust me, been there, done that.

Tacofino Review

My friend's coworker said this place was good and I know this place exist but never went to try.

When we got there, I'm not sure if that is their entrance or the back door but people were getting take outs there and they said we can just go to the back to get a table. A little bit confusing. The place was pretty dark and the music was pretty loud.

The service was ok, nothing bad.

I got the pork al pastor and the chicken ($6 each) and my friend got the pork gringa ($6) and steak taco ($7).

The pork one was good, I didn't add any sauce to it and it had enough flavours. The pork was well marinted, and it goes really well with the pickled onions and pineapple.

                                     

The chicken one was good too. I also did not add any sauce to it. Some of the chicken was crispy but some weren't too crispy, I guess because of the water from the veggie. The pickled veggie were good, it went well with the chicken. The chicken one was a bit harder to eat, not sure how to stuff it in my mouth.

My friend thought the beef and pork were good. The beef was a bit hard she said.

We both thought their food were good but the portion is a bit small for that price. And definitely not filling at all. We both had to eat something else afterwards.

Will I come back again? Most likely not, not because their food isn't good, I just think it's a bit pricey for such a tiny thing. I have to spend even more money on something else to make myself full.
