only till recently have i noticed how annoying americans in windsor can be..

so this weekend is superbowl 40 in detroit. and being that windsor is a 2 sec walk away from detroit. and that legal gambling/ strip bar age is 18, and drinking/smoking age is 19.. all the americans from every inch of the states flocked over to windsor.. celebs included.. (paris hilton, gwen stefani, ben affleck.. to name a few)

and so every bar and restaurant within the downtown windsor and even within campus region is filled to the max with americans.. normally they're here every weekend anyway.. but they never bothered me so much..

case #1
so i was working the other day. and some stupid american comes in and tries to pay american.. which is fine cuz we take it.. but we only give back canadian change. and this guy.. despite me having told him this fact previous to his ordering his ice-cream and him nodding, totally freaks out afterwards when i hand him his CAD $.. he's like yelling at me.. saying i'm stupid n stuff.. that i should have given him US$ since he gave me US$... i couldn't help him. and so i said u can get a refund if u want.. but i can't give u US $. we don't have any.. and then he starts going on and on about how canada is stupid.. saying how we should just become the US.. and then there'd be no crap about CAD $ and US$.. and just basically insults canada and every living being in this country.. after like yelling at me and this other girl for 10 mins. he demands to see our manag. so fine.. go talk to the manag.. not gonna make a difference. and this stupid moron goes and demands that he get free stuff cuz he was "mistreated" while in our store.. what the hell?? how did we mistreat him? we took his damn ass attitude and insults for 10 mins straight without so much as a mutter.. frig.. he even said we were discriminating him cuz he was american.. WTF??? all while this is happening.. we're getting a line of like 30 pppl cuz he's holding up the line.

a) you're a retard. this is canada.. we have CAD currency not US.. we don't deal with US $
b) i told you before you ordered.. and you nodded..
c) its not my fault we don't take it.. its company policy.. as well as like every other company in the malls.
d) YOU"RE A MORON!!!! canada is a much better country.. we don't get friggin bombed every other day..
e) we're not discriminating you cuz ur american.. we're ignoring you cuz ur A F*ckin AsshOle..

damn.. made me so pissed!

case #2
me and somes friend went downtown to eat dinner & celeb sighting.. yes there are a LOT of celebs in town for superbowl.. paris hilton, ben affeck, jen garner, gwen steffani, her husband, hugh heffner, apparently jayz too... and others

so we booked a table at this restaurant.. we called ahead for reservations cuz we knew it'd be busy.. so to be safe and what not.. so we get there.. this place is crowded to the max.. we had reservations but still had to wait lke 20 mins.. whatever.. understandable.. other ppl had to wait like 1 hr

a bunch of stupid americans walk in.. demanding a table.. literally.. not being polite and asking or anything.. just walks in.. and goes table for whatever.. the host is like there's a wait of 1-1 1/2 hr.. they're like.. we're not waiting that long.. get us a table now. no way in hell is anybody gonna let them just take a table.. so ppl are like uh.. you need to wait.. we were here b4 you and we're waiting.. ur gonna hafta wait too. the americans are all like.. no we dont.. we're american. damn i hate you .. ur annoying, arrogant, cocky, assholes, and i wanna kick ur ass

so we ended up getting our table after like 20 mins.. we start eating and wut not.. the stupid ppl end up getting a table after an hour or so.. during which they decided to drink so much alcohol that they were honestly sick..

they finished about the same time as we did.. we took our time.. eatting and talking and what not.. so we're walking out the door.. and one of the stupid americans turns around from where he's sitting at the bar and literally pukes all over the floor onto one of my friends shoes.. and he just looks at her and laughs..

wtF??? u just puked on her and ur laughin.. its not funni.. ur a moron who can't hold ur liquor..


damn.. i'm not saying that all americans are bad.. i've got american friends and family.. and they're perfectly fine.. its just some of them.. mostly the ones that come over from detroit on the weekend to the windsor bars and clubs.. they think they like own the place.. picking fights. and throwing up all over the place.. urgh

there better not be those stupid ppl when i work tonite and tommorow or i'm gonna go and like run one of them over..

had quite the eventful weekend...

friday: went to work.. got some good news.. one of my co-workers is pregnant with a baby.. and i'm so proud of her.. she's being so brave :)

sat: early morning pratice.. altho had some dificulties with ppl.. was still alrite.. napped for about 5 hrs after pratice. around 630.. went out with the 2 other members of trio, plus mouse's housemate alex for chinese new year dinner at shins shins.. was suppose to be fred and val too but they backed out lastminute with some important stuff.. haha funni nite.. cuz alex for the 1st time got to see eunice's hardcore eating abilities .. some good food and good company.. and then not surprisingly, the trio ended up at the crepe place again.. haha.. why we always go there.. i really couldn't tell you... trio ended up at my place, where the horse continued to eat popcorn, grapes, apple pie, and ice-cream.. afterwards, drove her home.. called the leung family in hk.. "bai lin".. got to talk to some cousins, aunts, uncles and my grandmother..
roomate comes down to my room.. we're both bored outta our minds.. so we go out to the casino since i've never actually gone to the one here in windsor.. while in the car.. i call the ng family in hk... talked to some relations again.. but then i get some really good news!!

Laurie's getting MARRIED!!!!


laurie is one of my cousins.. so first cousin of the ng family to get married.. 2007 spring.. OMG so excited.. i LUV weddings.. i am so going back!!

hung out at casino for about 1 hr.. then went to early breakfast at like 230AM at golden griddle.. came up.. slept

sunday: woke up early for wcbc.. afterwards.. went home slept for an hour or so before working for 3.5 hrs.. busiest sunday ever.. what's up with that? we had non-stop line up of like 20 ppl straight for 2hrs!!! huh?? whats with the sudden cravings for ice-cream and chocolates?
got off at 530.. went home.. got a lil glammed up.. then picked wynne and victor, and the housemate.. and went out to "Via Italia" in windsor for dinner.. went to mezzo ristorante and lounge for dinner

place was pretty good.. i had the mixed green salad, plus the tuna.. hmm both were really good.. so sad tho.. camera was low on batts.. couldn't take pics.. then ordered desserts.. em and i both ordered the warm english souffle.. but what the hell?? the chef didn't even kno how to make a souffle.. damn.. so disappointed.. his/her souffle was flat as hell, sticky and way too overly sweet.. reminded me of a molten lava cake more than anything.. definet waste of $10. em and victor both had the lamb.. wynne had the pappardelle
aside from that.. dinner was good

came home.. and just chilled..
next adventure on erie str. La Casalinga ristorante.. that place looks soo good.. can't wait to try it

sad that i didn't go home for chinese new year.. but dispite that.. i still had a very good weekend :)
got some lucky pocket $, chinese new year cake, and my some homemade chinese-style carrot cake courtesy of my mom and dad..



best thing of this weekend.. i have made a decision about 2 things that i've been contemplating for a really really long time

1) nose stud.. i am gonna go thru with that.. prolly get that during the summer.. can't do it now cuz not allowed facial jewelerry at work.. not rite now at least

2) tattoo.. i've been thinking about getting one since i was 18. couldn never decided what to get.. or where to get.. or whether i'd actually go thru with it.. to be honest.. i've actually walked into a tat parlour at least twice and chickened out at the last minute.. and i have decided that i will EVENTUALLY before i'm 25 get a tattoo... something that has to do with my last name, my grandfathers name, and incorporating another inmportant thing that reps me.. dunno yet.. when i do decide.. and when i save enough $$ for it.. i WILL do it.. no more chickening out... as to where? i haven't decided that either.. shoulder? by belly button? hip? lower back?? dunno.. gotta figure out the pattern first...

haha.. so yup... its 330am. and my finger hurts from typing. i cut it at work and i didn't even kno.. don't u just hate it when u cut ur finger at the tip and u can't like put a bandaid on it cuz its an awkward position?

i'm odd and say odd things.. but u should kno that..
