Woo, shopping =)
Alright, around 3-ish, Abby and I decided to go to Fairview and get our dad his father's day gift (silk pajamas!). The thing about us is that once we go into a mall, we start going on unintentional sprees. I mean, when I went to the mall with Stella to eat lunch, I ended up buying three t-shirts from bluenotes(one was for my sister of course). So our loot when we got home was: the silk pajamas for my dad; abby got two more tshirts from bluenotes; pair of daisy dukes from bluenotes; two tanks for $12; a webcam, abby's grad present to moi; father's day cards; black mango bubble tea with laichee jellies; bottle of bawls; and ice cream. The highlight of the shopping experience was going into Compucentre to buy the webcam, and we saw one of the sales guys take a box, stab it really hard in two different places, draw a nose, mouth and wrote the words "Box King" on the forehead of the face in crayola marker, put the box on his head and go around scaring the other sales people. When we went up to the counter, he was making a little paper crown for it. He said that his next task was to make a cape. The "low"light of the shopping day was when we went into this dress store next to the Bay. We were really attracted by this dress hanging on a mannequin and I really wanted to try it on. When we went inside, I asked this store clerk (white, short, female) to get me the dress because the rack was one of those that hang really high up so you need that rod thing to hook onto the coat hanger. Once she brings it down for me, I spot this other dress that's all corset-like and Abby told me to try it on too. The clerk asks, "So what are you planning to buy the dress for?"
"Nothing in particular, it's just a nice dre-"
"Because you know, this is a really expensive dress (it was $160) and if you're just trying it on for fun then I rather you just not try it at all."
What A FUCKING BITCH! So what if I wanted to try it on for fun? I might have actually bought the stupid dress if she wasn't being such a gigantic bitch. What a fucking bitch. She really ruined the rest of our shopping day because Abby and I would just be walking and then one of us would go, "I still can't believe how much of a bitch that store clerk was." Anyways, this episode was before we went to check out webcams, so that compucenter dude really cheered us up.

Ok, I just came back from a hotpot dinner to celebrate my mom's work accomplishments and I've realized that the chinese identity is going out, eating a lot, and always watching television. I mean, now that I think about it, every chinese restaurant has a television (or four), and every non-white-washed chinese person in the restaurant is stuffing their face and watching television. And I'm sure that once they get home, they're going to sit on their giant sofas, turn to the same chinese channel (there is only ONE) and watch more generic chinese soap operas. Seriously, I dont understand why Americans are being affected by obesity the most, and barely scratching the chinese culture. I think for that hotpot, I ate at least 5 lbs of food without even noticing that I did. Why aren't chinese people fat?! Is it our metabolism? Because it sure isn't the exercise or the horrible eating habits. Maybe its the food that we eat, like the non-greasy and low-cholesterol foods, but in Northern China like Shang Hai and stuff, everything is covered in oil. Oily foods is Shang Hai food. The only chinese people that I see doing daily exercise would be the elderly people who do it because they have nothing else to do. I don't think I have seen 100 fat chinese people yet, and yet their diets may be even more worse than those of Americans who watch what they eat and such.
