A Honger Adventure
Tee hee. I'm happy and sad at the same time. I'm schizo, and I can't even spell it right. Well, let's just move on to the happy stuff. Me and Liz decided that today shall be honger day. So we invited Talia to come along with us to Arberdeen Centre/Parker Place. Keep in mind that I'm not "honger" either, (Even if I tried, it's not like I'm fluent in chinese). So I walk in, and I walk about aimlessly until I found the water fountain. (Turns out, you only turn a corner...and right there, in the middle of the huge court, is the water fountain). I couldn't help but smirk, because the kids were so into it. They're like "OOOHHHHHHH and AHHHHHHHHHHH". Then Liz came down, we wandered aimlessly again. We paused at this jewellery store... where they have a HUGE necklace of a pig..... and PIGLETS hanging from the *cough* area. Then we spent an HOUR at the Daiso... Is that not the most honger thing you can do? We got a pink heart pillow, and we were going to get iron on letters, spelling.. you guessed it. TONG DAO! (Terry, if you're wondering, he's the guy in Mandy's locker that you said, "Wow, he looks like me." That explains why I hit on you. I LOVE TONG DAO!!!!!!!) But it pissed me off so much. We wanted to get red letters. But they didn't have O's, G's... or whatever. So we mixed with blue. THEN there was no A's. At all. So we decided to just turn a V upside down. After an hour of debate, we decided not to get the letters. When I went to put the letters back, I saw this really really creepy dude standing there... Just... touching... the letters. I got so worked up and scared... that I just threw the letters at a pile and ran. I don't think I left anything out there. That took an hour of our time. An hour at the Daiso. Laugh, children, laugh.
As we were passing the escalator, I decided that every time the water fountain sproated, I would clap like an insane idiot. So Talia was like, "we should clap!" So on the escalator I started hooting and hollering. Much to other people's horror. (I have a fear for escalators now. For many reasons. One: Having Ce blow up, or having Tong Dao push me down. None of those make sense to normal people.)
THEN we went to the washroom. HOLY CRAP. (No pun intended), it's the most high tech thing I've EVER seen. I HATE AUTOMATIC FACETS. Every time they start, I get scared and scream. The water just... comes at you! I freaked out twice. And think what happened when the soap was automatic. I screamed again. Creepy soap. Great, I'm scared of automatic facets. We realized how nice the washrooms were, and we decided to "take a picture, it lasts longer." So we did. A picture of Arberdeen Centre Washrooms. We had green tea icecream, checked out a Japanese guy... walked around more aimlessly. While peaking down to see the other levels of the building, we see a security guard run by, suspiciously holding her hip. We're like "OMG She's reaching for her gun!" Then we see ANOTHER guard running, ALSO holding his back pocket. Talia was like, "Maybe they just all have hip problems. We tried to stalk them, but we lost them. We suggested there might be a gun shooting in the parking lot, but when we got out there, nobody was there!
Then we walked to Parker. Oh my Gosh it was priceless. There was a DJ competition... and #10 WAS HOT. I couldn't stop looking at him. And at one point, he looked back. Normal people would look away and pretend nothing happened. But no... I continued to look. We stared at each other for five seconds. Which is a really really long time if you're actually staring at an unknown, very attractive, stranger. *COUGH* Anyways, before that, we went to get Bubble Tea. The ultimate honger drink. But I ended up getting something without pearl. And Talia got jasmine tea. *Sooo un-honger* And they were playing the Jay Chou CD at the bubble tea place! WEEEEEE I LOVE THAT SONG. Anyways, we watched the competition a bit, kept staring at #10, and taught Talia how to say in Chinese, "You are hot, but you suck!" and "Number 10, Go!" *Di Si, jia you!* Number 10 DID suck.
AND WE SAW A POSTER WITH GRAVITATION ON IT. IT WAS SHUICHI. I wanted to either, steal it, or ask the counter lady if I could HAVE it. But I didn't do either. =.=" We also saw a guy who was the fatter version of Tong Dao. I know I'm not writing anything in chronological order, but whatever. While watching the competition, Talia dropped her camera, therefore taking a picture of Parker Place floor. She really needs a collection of floor pictures. The we went to get sticker pictures. But at first, I wanted to bring my bubble tea in, so I could incorporate honger pride into the picture. But my hopes and dreams were crushed when a sign said, "No food or drink allowed." When we went back, drink free, we had no idea what to do, so we stalked Liz and she chose a booth. I am happy to admit I am so un high tech. I didn't even know how sticker pictures WORKED. So we struck a billion poses, and here's the scary thing... THERE IS A TIME LIMIT ON EVERYTHING. Like, "2 minutes for the pictures, and 8 minutes to draw the stuff in the background." It was absolutely terrifying watching Liz work so fast. I think she even broke out in a heavy sweat. *No sarcasm, you could see the sweat* Then we did some more... This time *I* had to draw. Before, I was like, "Liz, how hard could it be?" NOW I realize the pressure. They give you a TIME limit... so you're trying to rush through without messing up. We're so getting Gravitation pins.
As we were walking back, I wanted to cross a street, but some chinese lady was about to drive out, and I said, "I don't trust chinese lady drivers." Liz was like, "IS THAT EVEN A WOMAN!?!" *No, i think it was a man actually* Then we went back to Arberdeen, and took Talia to a honger candy store. I think she went crazy... But I'm so proud of her, she hongerized herself. She even bought a Jerry Pepsi can! *WHERE WAS EDISON!?!?!?!?!* AND THEY WERE PLAYING A JERRY SONG. WEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! The people working at the Candy store were so scary. I think they were siblings who just felt the urge to bitch at each other in front of their customers. The girl was like "help out" or whatever. I wasn't listening. All I heard was the guy saying, "So what the fuck do you want me to do?!" Scary. It's suppose to be a candy store! A HAPPY place. Then we went about trying to get change for Talia, so she could bus home. THEN it turned out Liz had change all along. My honger adventure was great. I'm so tired now, and I have swim practice next.
