On monday I was mistaken to be Korean, yesterday Filipino...what's next?! Japanese maybe...

When I was at work on Monday, a lady came up to counter but not to order something, she came up there to stare me down!! =( Then she mumbles something in a language that I can only assume was Korean and walked away after she realized that I had no idea what the hell she was saying.

The next day, a Filipino man comes to buy a scone and asks me what are the different ones that we sell. I tell him blueberry and cherry. He picks the blueberry and so me with nothing else better to do goes to pick one out for him despite the self-serve system that we have. As I'm getting his scone he's right beside me and I notice a strong stench of B.O. Ughh...and then afterwards when I was collecting the money from him he gives me this dirty smile and asks me if I'm Filipino. AHHH help!! I looked away and told him I was Chinese and tried my best to drop the change into his hand without touching it.

Bed...check!
Mattress...check!
Still to go...desk, drawers and bookshelf

Yay so happy that I scored such awesome deals today at IKEA on some new furniture for my apartment!! $85 for a bed frame and a mere $55 for a spring mattress? Who ever heard of such insanity?!? Well insane or not, I'm glad that I was the one who got to the deals first. =) And to think that I almost had a heart attack thinking that someone would take it all before I had a chance to bring my dad there to drive it home in the van...

VICTORY AT LAST!! And a grand victory at that with a final score of 13-3! woohoo!! Every single player today showed tremendous improvement. Alex with his beautiful catch out in center field, Winson with all those incredible, flawless catches and plays to second and Phong with his daring slide to second just part seconds from being caught out and me with my dinky play to first which served its purpose of getting the poor batter out. =P

Anyone notice how I never talk about anything but softball on my blog now? =P

Wandering around Pacific today I found out that it's going to cost me almost $200 to get my hair straightened again. Damn...that's like half my pay check there already!! That's a huge difference from the first time which costed only half that but at least this time I'll get the satisfaction of knowing it'll stay. For this second time, I plan on getting it straightened Japanese style which is the way to get it done for the straightest effect. Unlike at the Korean place where they had to perform the treatment twice just to get it semi-straight. *sigh* As much as it's going to hurt my bank account, the extra 80 should be worthwhile...

goodness, gracious...too many choices here to pick from for next years electives!! Although it's not going to really mattter which one since all of those courses sound soooo bad. *sigh* I went into engineering hoping to avoid all these dumb art sci courses and here I am forced to take them again...oh BOOOO!! Why can't French be a list A course?!?!? WHY OH WHY?!??!

On a positive note, softball is just getting better and better! On Saturday, I caught the ball twice at home, resulting in a total of two outs at home for the opposing team! YAY!! I love playing for my new team! =)

Our first softball game of the season (and my first in almost 2 years) ended in a loss but nonetheless a very enjoyable one. Not that losing is something to be thrilled about but losing to a team as friendly as the FOTS made the outcome that much more easier to swallow. Even though it was pretty clear by the last couple of innings that they were owning the game, they kept on cheering us on, their opponents, as loud as ever and even put on a little funky chicken show to boost our morale. =P What a great way to show what the CCSA is all about. Funniest part of the game has got to be Gabe's throw from the ground between 2nd/3rd base to home which I missed and consequently almost hit the umpire in his unmentionables. Let me just make this clear that I did NOT miss catching that ball on purpose! =P Overall our team just need a little bit more practice and we'll be on our way in no time. Not to worry guys...it's still early in the season!! =)

pftt...going on the highway is really not as hard as I thought it would be. I guess the important thing that everyone is dying to know is that everyone that came into close proximity of my car today came out of the experience safe and sound. =) All it really consisted of was merging and lane changes. Piece of cake. =)

Next came shopping with my mom... Exciting you say?? I THINK NOT!! With anyone else, I just love it but with her, OMG it's a total bore! What happened was I was helping her look for a present for her friend who just had a baby. I was able to find a bunch of nice and inexpensive stuff but no matter what the item I chose was, she'd disagree saying "oh no...he won't be able to wear it after a year" or "$10 for a hat?! You think I'm rich?!". First of all, babies grow and second $10 for a nice baby hat from Mexx (of all places!) is pretty much a damn good steal! And then comes the ultimate excuse: "What do you know? You've never had a baby!" Oh and then, whenever I want to go see my stuff, she'd say something mean in such a tortured tone. Someone save me PLEASE!!

Day at the spa with Jacko?! ahh...so tempting but nooo I have work! >.<
