Been working late shifts these days, and after work I routinely go to the little italien eatery to get some midnight snack. I hate it because it will make me look like I am 4 months pregnant, when i am actually 2 mths. Friday was a 'hell' day at work, by the time i got there, our hotel system was down for 5 hours already. The lazy bastard then started to panick and sweat like crazy, we had a few light arguments, but I was the receptionist, so i had to pretend to be a dumb one too. I was more pissed then usual, so i called my dad during dinner time to vent out, its weird how i talk to him more so then mom nowadays, ever since when i got back from Cleveland. He seems to give me a more 'non biased' suggestions, mom sometimes is just well too much of a mom. The weekend was slowww at work, and I had time to browse through the internet for random things. I was looking for flats on sale near my W11 neighbourhood within potential morgage budget, but i don't think i can afford even a toilet seat in this NT neighbourhood. There was one, but i think i would cry if i got that place as my first home (it reminds me of something on the east side). One positive thing about the flat is that if anyone tries to break in, you can literally hit him with a bat above, cause your bed is above the entrance. It doesn't even have the steep stairs like my flat, it has a ladder! wuuhuu! (i think that bat may come in handy after all R!)
On another note, I was having a nice dinner with my gf the other day, when she said 'Lisa i have something to tell you.."
I was like "what?"
"I might get married within 1.5 year"
"whAT??"
"Yes, my mom has arranged the marriage for me"
" whATTTt?? i thought u had a bf"
"yes but this is an arrange marriage"
" I didn't know it still existed" (in my mind, i was thinking of London and not her hometown)
YOu know how things sometimes don't really hit you at 'home' or people you know.
I'd never thought that i would have a friend that would actually have an arranged marriage.. its just werid.. shocked really.
She's not too happy about it, but its tradition. So I will try to support her if it does happen... guess i;ll have to go to bombay next year, just for her! I promised i'll take another week off, and we were gonna go somewhere random and just party. She is quite traditional herself, but i;ll see what i can do, with Mb or stephs help of course.
My skiing injuries is affecting my yoga progress, its slowing me down, cause i know i still have some hidden bruises and damage that i need to repair. Yoga will get rid of it slowly, but i was thinking of getting some Shiatsu therapy.. still deciding, but it sounds promising.
4 weeks till i am home. Mom is already doing some estate shopping> remember when she said homebase is now HK.. ANYwayz. i will pack my stuff whatever the outcome is. Who wants to keep my simpson and Spy collection? Comics, Itchy and Scratchy, oh i miss trading cards...
I will be applying for my working permit while i am at home, so i might be staying in TO longer. I want to get the permit but at the same time, i think i will freak out when i do. It means that I will be in london for 2 years at least... i've done half a year already, but still.. GRRrrr, dunno where i am going sometimes. I miss coledale. Recess.. no worries and so much hope back then.
Zzzzzz SL tomorrow, 8th day at work. the joy.
