不錯的一天

之前在 London 的 Roots 付款買郵託, 今天終於送來了~~
我可愛而且減價的包包, 原來是 Made in Canada 的!
本來還以為是 Fabrique en Chine. heehee~
它在幾個當眼位都大大的寫 Made in Canada~ 太爽了.

這幾天都在找 90 年代看過的台劇. 真的非常非常懷念!
現在在下包青天 (93年). 以前都沒有完全看過全部單元.
這次可以好好的重溫 + 重頭看了!

好!
回到 good routine.
現在去 ZZZZzzzz 了.
晚安!

xmas shopping in november

arriving at home 1am last night did throw me off my regular schedule.
but i did get gas at 104.5 in Ingersoll taking that small detour, when gas is 111.3 in Toronto!

woke up by mum this morning.
dad cut his pinky pretty bad from a small fiasco.
but still managed to get a 7 hour sleep considering i slept at 4am last night.
stopped the bleeding, we think.

now i can take my sunday easy.
2 gifts down, 6 more to go.
i love Sea Jewels! so many neat stuff and didn't cost me an arm and a leg!
and Tribal Mountain Trade too, they have really neat stuff there!
i'll be going there again for another run during my last stay in London.

continuing to do good!

hoping to get myself ready for the San Francisco Ballet audition in January.
that is, if i pass their resume screening.
well, regardless of being able to go or not, i'm going to devote these coming months to nothing but practising and exercising.
now that i have most of december available, it feels like i've got so much time on my hands.

already started working on the excerpts, some of them anyway.
there are some very unfamiliar ballet music that i'll have to research a bit at the library.
wonder if i could access the naxos collection at the library's computers. hmm. =\
that's for later, i guess, when i've got the notes under the fingers.
it feels so satisfying being able to figure out solutions to the problems i created. XD

gotta say thanks to the PM who sent me the audition info and excerpts.
they have the best audition package ever - with all excerpts with markings! even the chamber music piece is included!
the only thing that's not included is the own choice solo stuff.

做個乖孩子

這幾晚都 2am 前睡, 果然體力好了點.
可是到了 11pm 就開始想睡了...
好幾晚都沒看過 Supernatural... it's piling up!
昨晚一次過看了 3 集, 爽!!!

頭痛痛痛!!

談的來的朋友, 身體有多不適都好, 每一秒都過的開心.
話不投機的朋友, 就算體魄健康, 每一秒都是煎熬.
今晚, 我很開心~
但身體真的越來越差了!!
該是需要自律的時候, 控制一下放甚麼進肚子.
還要多點運動筋骨...

just not my week

here's an interesting story from yours truly.
after hearing from London that i'm out of a job, today i'm met with more movie-like omens.

took the Rav to do regular oil change.
first off, when i made the appointment last night, i fell into the trap of speaking to a weird ass receptionist.
somehow she talked me into using a much more expensive synthetic oil, which scientifically does nothing different than regular oil.
good thing i did a bit of wiki look-up this morning.

so i went in. saw the notes that she left for the crew at the dealership.
fortunately i was able to just told the crew right out that i didn't need the synthetic oil.
then fuck me. the drug high receptionist never bothered to ask if my snow tires were on rims or not. so she initially put in a regular install tires request, which could've cost me 4 times more.
if i never read the crew's screen, i would've been fucked in the wallet.
the crew's not so bright either, couldn't even find the job codes on her screen when it's right in front of her.
she also failed to give me the tag before i left. if i hadn't reminded her, i would have had no tag.

the only good thing that came from today was the shuttle to hillcrest, which i didn't have to wait for.
but i did spend $90 in RW alone. good deals though.

anyway, so when i'm back in the shop, paid my services and all...
i'm also supposed to get a brush for the wind shield. the coupon's only good if i used the service there. and guess what? they're out of brushes.
i mean, there were literally angry customers waiting for the damn thing.
after waiting 5 mins, i just had to leave.

then went to the bank and found out the current GIC interest is half of what my old GIC rate was.
what the hell?
still have to go with it. what other choice do i have? i can't take out my RRSP, nor store it in my other low interest accounts.
and i locked down a lot for the tax-free account too, which i've just opened.
i'll let my future self worry about that later.
at least i can just let it sit in the bank.

and here's the best part.
i was reloading all my change back into the car after the servicing.
and i dropped a few quarters into the hand brake box cavity.
i freaked and used a screw driver + sticky putty trying to lift one visible quarter out from a very very small opening.
of course not only that didn't work, i also dropped the screw driver into the cavity.
then when i try to pry open the box frame, i cracked a little bit of it.
that's when i realized i could use the hook from a hanger (a hooker in short, yes, i'm a genius).
finally go the screw driver out. but left the now disappeared coin in there somewhere.
i hope they won't cause any major screwing up on the mechanics.

fuck this.
i'm outta here.

lesser income, greater fun!

fuck.... 5th chair is back in London.
i'll be out of subbing in December...

but yay! that means vacation!!!
see if Bobo booked their Disney stuff yet.
i might wanna gooooooo~
