Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's day? None of my business...
There were 2 ladies at the post office with 3 cartons full of envelopes to mail. All needed to be weighted and stamps purchased. I thought they must be tax forms, but the thickness varied too much. Hmm...

Anticipated a long wait, so I took these pictures as proof just in case my boss thought I was doing something weird. Luckily a second cashier opened and I didn't need to wait long at all.


Tired... must... research... on... air... brush...

Looks like I need to buy some more supplies. Great... (T_T)

Car door

No work today. Vampire showed up last nigh. Didn't sleep well. Got up really late. In fact, I got up when P came at 1. Without a chance to use the washroom or drink any water, I proceeded with the meeting. Completed with bad breath and oily face. P hasn't eaten lunch. Too bad all we had was snack-type food, and could only offer the sesame cake and chocolate covered cookies. Not good for lunch.

Went to finish fixing my car door afterward. I still can't believe that one strip of plastic costs $40. Which means labour was $20. It only took him less than 10 minutes to install, though. Is that garage cheap? Not sure. The guy was sanding some parts and was covered in powdery stuff, leaving powder all over my steering wheel, floor mat, and door. Probably the seat too, but I didn't check. Oh well...

Tuesday = dinner with brother's gang day. This time we ate out at Mui's. Love their curry beef rice. It seems to have started some pimples right away...

Crispy Chicken Squares

(It was just another work day today with nothing worth writing about. So, the stocked up review continues.)
Fake chicken nuggets. Thanks Mrs. L. (She's in her 70's yet she buys junk food like this. I can't imagine her eating this kind of stuff, though.) Oops forgot to check where it's made in! Looking at the traditional Chinese characters, I think it's Taiwanese. But again, very suspicious.

This is probably in the lowest 1/10 of the healthy scale. (The Japan Roller is even lower.) It's Cheetos again. But denser and directionally textured. (Wow they try to mimic the muscle strands of chicken nuggets.) It's fried and full of MSG. Worst of all, addictive!!!!! Extremely easy to overdose. Yes it tastes good but... stay away from it!

Pi day?

Just because it's 3-14, someone made today "Pi day". Is it such a big deal that we need a day named after it?

North Burnaby Costco, Rona. Thanks for the gas, A!

Daylight saving time started last night, but my Fido phone is still not adjusted! Why? Does Fido suck? Or is it because I got a cheap plan? (Sucks either way!)

Sorry, it's the monster talking again. The vampire is lurking around the corner and my stomach hasn't been feeling that good all day.

Not to mention loosing an hour sleep makes me tired and grumpy.

Truly Chips Regular

(Yet another stocked up review...)
On sale at $0.99! Could I resist? Actually this is only 150g. The 250g Lays can be bought at $2.50 when on sale. Hmm...

Expires in about 3 months. Should be fresh enough. But, hmm... there is not much potato flavour or aroma. Some of the chips are also cut too thick, hence heavier and less crunchy. I'd say Lays is still better.

Boss swapped Thursday with Saturday so I had to work today.

Lemon roll cake

Thanks for the cake, aunt Y! (No, I didn't take this picture. It was found on the net and manipulated.)

Failed to write Japanese e-mail again. Really tired after work. Fell asleep at the desk right after dinner. (T_T)

Car

Of course couldn't sleep last night. Went to bed at 6:30. Don't think mom's 100% serious about suicide but you never know. Just because something she said, she destroyed my peace forever. Thanks so much! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Got notice from my boss yesterday saying no work today. Works out fine for my car tuneup. But I stopped the alarm and fell right back to sleep. Ended up an hour late. The garage was super busy. Oh well. It was my own fault and I was prepared to wait. It's just that, there is no heat or air-conditioning. Quite cold. And the place's a mess and dirty.

Finished at around 2. Mr. C recommended Mr. D for fixing my door, so I paid him a visit. Same kind of messy place but slightly better. If memory serves me right, Mr. D fixed my window last time I got broken in... (But I can't trust my memory.) The parts could not be ordered and arrive on the same day. So I paid deposit for the parts and will go back for the installation another day. Need to maximize my work day as I don't know when my boss will be out of town again. She seems very reluctant to tell me the exact day. Come on. It's not like I'll go break into her place or something. Makes me feel I'm not trusted and uncomfortable.

As usual, dad "organize" things his way. Again, he puts cutlery underneath the wire basket, directly in contact with the tray that catches water.
