just another day - nothing special

had just gobbled down ANTM S4, pheeeeeeeew!! well not entirely coz i wasnt able to get episode 8 & 9 *shrug* and those two have my favourtie photo shoot, I really wanted Kahlen to win but....Naima got it becoz she did well in the runway...oh well, is not that theres anything i could do.

in the middle of downloading S5. eeeeerrrrrmmmm...dont really like the girls there.

is crazy out there right now. Wind is blowing like a minor hurricane attack...seriously is quite scary. I could literally hear the wind "roaring" and all ready to swallow all of us down. And poor darling is not home yet, still working out there...I got to come home two hours earlier, so of coz i took a "short" nap.

I seriously want a day off, just do nothing but hanging out with myself, well ok i dont mind pooky lazying around my legs. After meeting that giant puppy last night, I really want another big dog, just for that 5 mins, pooky was having so much fun with her, he was actually bullying her...can u believe that!?!?ohhh damn! we should ve just adopted her!!! and remember that golden retrievers to be given away deal? well i believe that is a scam, one of those mails to get ppls to pass around...coz i found those pictures online today!!?? GRRRRRR WTH!!

anyway im expecting a guest right now - kenny, he's darling's cousin and he arrived in vancouver days ago for school. So he's gonna stay for couple of days and spend some time with darling...

talking about school, mine is gonna start soon, siggghh good time always pass by fast, although my holiday is just working n working in the store but im enjoying that like 10 times more than going to school , seeing those faces that disgust me so much! yucks!!! but this time, im gonna be dealing with new faces, coz most of my mates r gonna be in work term and im catching up for what i missed last year for taking two months holiday back home...but it was sure worth it though *grin*

boxing week

after christmas, besides new year, the next thing that come along is of coz boxing day, Melvin visited from SF last year, and we took a day trip to Vancouver. still remember is spent hundreds on that day , but oh well, in year 2004, i barely go shopping, and i thought it fair to throw it off on boxing day, at least is worth it.

but this year, i had to work in the store, but both of us got to take a quick run around, and darling got 27$ return for the fleece he bought on christmas eve coz it was on extra 30% sales on boxing day. how nice huh....besides that he got himself a nice warm scarf..and i nothing but pair of rubber flip-flop from ocean river. Had my eyes on two pair of pants in lululemon and oqoqo.

slept over night contemplating which pants to get , and i actually dreamt bout buying both of them. OMG !! this is serious, coz i had a dream about it. so the next day i went back n bought the one in lululemon, and half a top for 9$ ,GOOD DEAL!!!

Dannsu also throwing big sales, first time ever!!!! sold 5 pieces of furniture, more than what we can normaly do within a year. didnt make much but at least get rid of the old stock....quite sim tia...:)

took pooky for walk just now, and saw a giant puppy running around on her own, she then stopped infront of this house, so we knocked on the door to find her owner, but apparently she's a lost puppy....but that couple decided to adopt her for the night and call animal control to find her owner. besides that, we also brought back a futon frame, which they were trying to get rid of, perfect! i found a mattress and we were going to buy the frame, ironiclly, it is the exact same one that we got for mom n dad for xmas present. *grin* gain gain!!

pls stop the flow!!

I been having my P for more than two weeks, oh boy am I low in blood or what? thanks to the depot shot....and i think thats the reason why I been so tired n sleepy lately.....but im kinda getting concerned bout this. if this doesnt stop I would hv to go visit Dr Vaughan again.

This afternoon, pooky made a BIG MESS in the bathroom with his .... omg do i really wanna blog about this? nono, is unfair for u guys.

talking bout fairness , today as I was cleaning, Zaku ( 5 yrs old kid) came to me saying " Nicole, Im gonna talk to my mom that is not fair that ur doing all the cleaning job " , that was very sweet of him but I was like " but Zaku, I get paid for that, and I need the money " , well , guess he didnt quite understand what i was talking about.

Just about half an hour ago, i saw a flash light, " who the hell is taking pic in the store?" so i ignored that. and just 5 seconds later, this loud thunder sound shocked the hell of everybody besides me , hehehe . well thunder storm is pretty common back home isnt it? but is rare here, i never hear one here. so ppl were like : "OH MY GODDDD!! WHATS GOING ON!! WATS THAT AN EARTHQUAKE!!!??"
ohhh plssss~~~
i guess the strike must be taken down quite a few traffic lights, on the way home to make dinner, i came across one broken one, see thats the problem when u dont hv a proper lightning arrester installed. but guess wat, there werent any massive jam wat so ever. they made it work like a four way - whoever came to a complete stop at the junction get to go first. is like bam bam bam, go go go. i wouldnt hv imagined what kinda jamm i could ve gotten into if it was back home.

anyway guess u guys been missing me huh....hehe *beh hiao pai seh *

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Xmas list

how's my xmas shopping coming along? well...first of all, it was never a big thing for me, but since we have to adapt to the culture, ended up with a whole long list.

last nite after closing, dragged our tired bodies, were hoping to get few things picked up....that was very naive, coz we spent like hour and half at the furniture warehouse choosing the right futon for his mom n dad. OK , one big thing crossed off from the list.

Today ,i managed to get two gifts from winners in 15 minutes, well thats wat i hv b4 they closed. I think thats it, besides those sweaters that we hv to find for ourselves, courtesy of parent, usually thats how is done, heres 100$ and get ur own presents, which is great! we get to choose watever we want.

the rest we just gonna get from the store, i mean thats the whole point of owning a gift store right!?! Lily came to me with cheque and a present in her hand after im done cleaning, I was so happy, very thoughtful of her getting me a present!!!

since i dont expect much from this cny, so im kinda putting high hope on xmas, fortunately, we r going to aunty dells on christmas day for an authentic xmas dinner, featuring turkey n etc etc....*slurp!* cant wait!! cant wait!!
