A nice end to the week from hell
Seriously this week has been the week from hell. I'm completely and utterly sleep deprived and my brain is fried and STILL I have nothing to show for it. Damn physics...DIE DIE DIE!!! Thank goodness there is at least one marginally good mall around for me to run to for comfort. What can I say? Kingston shopping is pretty crappy. An interesting thing happened on the busride. Jackie did a pretty good job of summing up the event in her blog and so me being lazy will just quote her here. Oh no....I hope she doesn't sue me for plagiarism =P

AND THEN HERE'S THE STORY OF THE MONTH:
OK. So we got onto a bus to get to the mall and sat down at the seats at the front near the bus driver. As since it was raining and stuff I was just trying to get water out of my hair when this old lady that was sitting across from us said really loudly "HI". So we're like "HI", thinking she just wants to be friendly and stuff. And then she turns to me and said something but since I wasn't really paying attention i didn't hear her. So i was like "pardon me?" and she was like "DO YOU WEAR SHORTS?" So there i was thinking....ooook, but because she's old and everything i didn't want to be rude, so i just said "Yes". And then she was like "DO YOU WEAR SHORTS IN THE SUMMER?" and i was like whatever, i'll just entertain this poor old lady. So i said yes.
AND THEN SHE REACHED INTO HER BAG, GRABBED A PAIR OF SHORTS AND THREW THEM AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to scream but i didn't, and the pair of shorts landed on my arm, and i was thinking"what the fuck, this is disgusting"...So i just left them on the rail next to me, and the old woman is like "PUT THEM IN YOUR BAG". And this point, i was getting annoyed, so i said "No, its ok. I'll just leave them here, I'll remember to take them." and then she gave me a "look" and repeated "PUT THEM IN YOUR BAG NOW" and then she turned to pearl and said "TELL YOUR FRIEND TO PUT THEM IN HER BAG." So poor pearl and i, we didn't know what to do, so pearl turned to me and told me to put the shorts in my bag. At this point, i was soooo scared that i just did as i was told. And then I got up and moved to the back of the bus, took the shorts out and left them on one of the seats.

To be fair, this lady did not intentionally try to freak anyone out especially poor Jackie. This is the second time I've seen this woman on the bus and I remember her behaviour to be same. In her mind, I'm sure her intentions were good but being unused to dealing with people with mental illnesses, I don't think we necessarily handled the situation very well. =(
The rest of the afternoon was filled with lots of good shopping and good food. I was completely blown away by the massive sale at RW and Co. Jackets, shirts, dresses and skirts for $10?! I've never seen anything like it! We both ended up getting jackets reduced from $60 to $80. Needless to say, we were VERY satisfied with our purchases...an instant boost on my happy meter! =) They had very nice dresses as well unfortunately those weren't on sale =( They better watch out cuz I'll be stalking that place and make that sexy little black dress mine the second it goes on sale!
AND I must not forget to mention those delicious spring rolls!! Vietnamese people really do know how to make good spring rolls. Theirs beat the ones at "yum cha" any day! mmm....*drools* spring rolls....it's quite possible i like them even better than fried eggs!
