KTV culture?

Last Sunday, I went to Party World with my co-worker. That makes my KTV count to 4 times so far. 1 in Taipei, 1 in Auckland, and 2 in Vancouver. Here are a few things that I have observed:

• Have to order Pong-Da-Hai...apparently it helps with your singing
• Most of the time, you won't know everyone in the room. (true for 3 of the 4 times)
• It's a very supportive enviroment... no matter how badly you sing.
• Can't be shy or you will be just sitting there and not singing (me)
• To be "Hi", someone gotta sing a fast song...and someone has to dance/move along. (or candle light/cellphone light)
• Do Not leave the list empty, have to max it out!

Overall, I find that KTV is a good place to meet people (in your booth. ie Friend's friend), and I realize that if I ever want to make it in Taiwan/HK/China... I better start learning.

Bubble-tea Anonymous

在很久很久以前，有一個對Bubble Tea 上癮的小女生叫...."阿花". "阿花"最愛的泡沫紅茶口味是...."芋頭". 她不管是麽時候到BBT 的時候一定要點這個口味.

有一天，阿花跟進財到了BBT. 阿花很興奮得跟店員說"我要芋頭冰沙去冰".....店員小姐呆了一下....."小妹妹....冰沙是不能去冰的".

阿花開始傻笑....想要打混過去......發現了的店員小姐很識相的跳了過去，假裝沒事發生過。然後她又問了 "那要不要加珍珠呢？"......阿花笑著說"我的名字叫阿花!!!"

這時候進財看到了店員小姐左臉上的3條綫還有右臉上的青筋.....
-------------------
The moral of the story is......
阿花 needs our love

Most Interesting Story Ever!

Today is Aaron's going away party. Aaron and I go way back... long story short, he is kind of a hippie (not in the sense of a real hippie, but in the sense that he is an awesome guy...kind of a hippie :)) I know it's confusing, but he is. He is moving to Pasadena in LA, and going to work at a start up IT company there. Hoping to get a trophy wife and a super car with in 5 years.

Anyhow, a few people showed up. Some are from his work, and some are his outdoor activity buddies. Oh yeah, Aaron is into rock climbing (real ones, not just indoor), and also hang gliding. Therefore, his hang gliding instructor, Tom, was there too.

Then, S showed up (real name is not used cuz the following event is currently involved in a legal matter) . Tom called him the "Captain". We were all curious about that. S said... "I am no a captain now, I sunk my ship." ....... Huh?
"My payload sunked...."..... Huh?
"Well... I was shipping these two huge cranes about 200 ft each to point A (again, a $50million law suit is going on).... And they just collapse..." Oh... I see.......wait WHAT?
"You know...crains...for construction.... I was on the tug boat.. and they were on the aircraft carrier size ship... the weather...etc etc..... they collapse because they were too old. Just thank god no one got hurt"......that's nice... BUT what happened???

Exactly.... what happened??? It turned out that it was very windy back in December, and big cranes aren't just that good to be shipped around.... especially during windy time... all the waves and wind weaken the structures of the cranes...so even thought they were wielded to the ship with 8 2inch thick pipes, these pipes still got torn like paper! The worst part was that the tug boat was connected to the loaded ship with a 3.5 inch thick steel cable! If the loaded ship was going to go down.... nothing can stop it.... Just glad that no one was hurt. Also, on the way back, they hit 2 solid curls that were 30 feet high!

This captain is such a character! He said after he got back... he went to Halifax to relax with his other captain friends... and drank themselves stupid.... then they asked him what happend, S said "if I tell you now, we have to drink all over again!" hahahaha

I won't say anything more about the case or about S so hopefully this won't be found during the trial or affect any potential jurors.
But god dang, this is probably the most interesting story told by a real person I have ever heard.

Delicous Sins.....

This shall mark the return of my blogging days ( because of one special person's suggestion.. you know who you are). Over the course of November and December, I started to eat out a lot, especially since my friend from Montreal came to Vancouver for almost a whole month. We pretty much go out for food every week...I am happy that I got to try new things.... but when we are together... it's like girls see cheese cake~ there is no end. We will push each other to order more because we wanna try. It's just a vicious cycle I say.

For example, when we went out for dimsum, we would keep on ordering stuff on the menu that we haven't seem before. Then, we would look at other tables and kept on ordering. In the end, between the two of us, a guy and a girl, we ate 8 plates of dimsum. It's huge! Same thing when we went to Xiao SiChuan. We ordered 4 dishes for two people, and we almost finish all. There were bubble tea afterward. We almost died.

I drove her to the airport yesterday and warned her to never return....until I shed off the pounds I have put on because of her.

This is a slow and boring start to a blog, but it's a start.
