Time for an Update
Hey everybody!
There are bigger gaps now between my posts because it just takes such a long time before there are enough interesting things to happen to me for me to post!
Last week, I went to Kensington Market with Ivan (who still looks the same) and I bought myself two belts (two for one sale) , two books, and also something for Kyle when I go up to meet him. Before we hit up Kensington, we went to the Salad King near the HMV and it was quite an experience. For all of their dishes, you can choose the spicy-ness on a scale from 0 chilis to 20 chilis. The description for 20 chilis was: May cause upset stomach. From the looks of things, I decided to go with 2 chilis and my goodness was it spicy!!! I should've just been a wimp and went for 0 chilis like my sister and have enjoyed my meal fully instead of enjoying the first moment of each bite and then having the feeling of eating fire. Who in their right mind would ever go for 20 chilis? I bet you that whoever would would have to have little to no feeling in their tastebuds.
After that, we had some ice cream which helped to cool us off and then we head off to Kensington Market. The stores there have gotten a lot more high tech since the last time I went there (two years ago?). Most of the stores had debit machines so i didn't have to panic that I only had a twenty dollar bill.

Went out for sushi with my coworkers from M&Ms (Andrew and Lu) and I had the biggest meal. Bigger than Andrew's (who is one of those food shovelling machine guys) meal! We went to a place called Oshi which is on Steeles and a little bit further and across the street from Pacific Mall. I seriously wished we went further back into the parking lot and went to Wasabi instead because it's all-you-can-eat sushi for just a couple of dollers more. It was really nice to eat something that wasn't heated up like all of the M&M stuff (which tastes quite delicious by the way).

This weekend, the Mac dragonboat team is having their end of the year party and I couldn't be more excited. I haven't seen the whole team for almost a month now and I think we're going to have a killer time. Since I'm working at an M&Ms and we're having a big potluck/bbq, I've decided to somewhat spear-head a little group to get most of the food for the bbq. I just hope that there is enough food because more and more people want to chip in with money meaning less and less people are bringing food! I don't think I bought enough food for 20 people :S. Ahh!!
We'll see how it goes...

Work has been fun. More and more idiotic people come in and slowly the thought of the store transferring owners is setting in. It feels weirder to eat M&M food for lunch because head office people are there and they're all "I'm going to go buy food across the street" or "I'm going to Timmy's for lunch". Makes me feel kindof guilty that I'm having a free lunch. The new owners have never owned an M&Ms before and I'm pretty certain that they're going to be very by-the-book and not let any of the product consultants have any fun or freedom. I just hope they're not the kind of franchisees who think that the product consultants are underneath them and don't deserve the same amount of respect. I know a lot of people who are like that with people who assist them and I think it's the shittiest thing someone could do to you in the workplace (other than actually firing you).
That's it for now! I'm so excited! I'm going to go up to visit Kyle in 2 weeks! (The last time I saw him was June 21st!! )
