Hello Kitty

"Hello Kitty. 30 years of cute."

Judy and Jon's wedding was a couple of weeks ago and they had their banquet at Pacific Mall upstairs. There was a stand by the elevators where kids could pay to do arts and crafts. Basically, they gave you a stencil of some sort and you could decorate it with coloured glue or sand.

As Dave, Stella and myself were watching the kids, i saw one of the stencils and inexplicable yelled out in joy:

"HELLO KITTY!?!?"

i yelled so uncontrollably loud that the girl who ran the stand looked at me and smiling, asked if i wanted to try.

"uh....heh. heh. No thanks."

I have this weird obsession with Hello Kitty. When I see Hello Kitty things, I can't help but think that they are so "kawaii". I have an inkling as to why:

how about a bit of this:

Apparently my mom has surrounded me with Hello Kitty items as I grew up and now it has messed up my head. I have a permanent, psychological connection with hello kitty.

And its not even one of the cool, psychological connections where I grow up, being acclamated with Hello Kitty items so that I can one day assassinate her. It seems its the other way around where I'm at the mercy of Hello Kitty.

What the deuce has my mom done!? haha.

Chris Coleman siting: spotted at the brick brewery, partaking in brew, where volunteers of the Hardy Hearts Charity event enjoyed free beer as a thank you for their help. *N.B.* Chris Coleman did not help in the event. Looks like daddy's little boy is still drinking away his sorrows from missing out on a goodlife membership

All Girls League update: Gloria Lam has volunteered to draw up an application for prospective players. Ken Leung has volunteered to be official media cameraman. Dang....why didn't i think of that first. I have also received the Holy blessing of Rev. Tim Tang. pwnt. gogogo.

Smartest Men Alive

In the above picture may be the two smartest men alive in the universe. You can't totally make both of them out but i'll describe them to you. The one behind one of the players (of whose head is only visible) is actually wearing a pimped out, pink shirt, unbuttoned at the top. He also carries around a cell phone while strutting around on the diamond. The second guy in the forefront of this picture, is unshaven, hair deshevelled, looking like he just rolled out of bed in the same shirt he is currently wearing, after a long night of drinking.

Here's the scenario. After the Lumas game at York Mills ended at around 8pm, a mass of pretty girls starting arriving at the park. It was incredible. i could not figure out what was going on. Was this an all girls league? As we watched them warm up, it was apparent that they all sucked. They couldn't swing a bat or throw very well. What was going on?

As i thought about it, and observed the two guys amongst the swarm of girls, i came to the realization that this was the biggest scam on the face of the earth. Two guys had put together two all girl teams, which played each other every sunday at 8pm at York Mills (take note, gentlemen). And it was obvious that the teams were not made of the most talented girls athletically, but only the prettiest, girls with the fittest physiques. The girls were forced to wear tight t-shirts with the names "Ball Breakers" and "Master Batters" <---- omg! lawl

"Hello Sir, may i shake your hand?"

I have decided to graciously start an all girls team myself next year. Not for my own sake of course, but to help Sam Wong and Alan Tang find girlfriends. i know, i know. It is a difficult sacrifice. But it is something i must do for my lifelong brethrens. This may be the most selfless thing i have ever done. We will coach two Christian, all girl teams. Edmond has agreed to umpire the games. In fact, Julie has given me her every blessing and support for just how giving i am with my time in order to help Alan and Sam and girls athletics. Registration would be free. Please send photo applications to my email (bri_leung@yahoo.ca).

For those of you nay-sayers that doubt that this most charitable plan would never work, let me explain to you how easy it is. i asked Jessica Sit last night,

"Hey Jess! You know what i'm gonna do? i'm gonna start an all girl's league and registration is free! Doesn't that sound like fun!?! You get to play with all girls with no boys to pick on you. i'll even coach you and provide team tshirts! You just have to send me a photo applicaton!"

Jess:

"That does sound like fun! Can I invite my friends!!? I have a bunch of them that would want to play!"

Bri (pausing):

".........OF COURSE YOU CAN!"

So easy.....So easy.

i hope that everyone takes this very seriously.

Deflated

"You had a bad day. The camera don't lie. You're coming back down and you really don't mind. You had a bad day. You had a bad day"

on monday i realized that i

1) forgot my work keys in Toronto.

on monday night, i

2) deflated my front bike tire trying to fill it with air. i couldn't get the hose to fit on my nozzle and it ended up pushing my nozzle inside my tire. I spent about an hour trying to fix it with my keys. As i walked home, i walked for a bit and realized i had forgotten the cap back at the gas station and had to walk back to get it. It was dumb cause if i had left it alone, it would have been fine; it was still completely rideable without more air.

later that night when i tried to fix it, i

3) realized that when i got home that walking my bike home had caused the nozzel/tube to travel almost directly across the hole in the rim. I also found out that nobody that i know in KW owns a bike pump! I spent about another half hour trying to fix my bike and my hands were so dirty. I was also sweaty and tired as well as i had just finished working out.

this morning, i

4) had to wake up extra early to walk to work and i was incredibly tired, nodding off here and there in the second day of my CT sim rotation. i think i may have even started to nod off while walking to work!

with this whole tire episode i,

5) understand some more which of my friends really care and show concern about me when things don't go right.

I think five is both good and bad :)

It was funny. I begged and pleaded with God to somehow help my biked get fixed. i was unhappy at why this was happening and let God know it. At the same time, i begged and pleaded for patience and understanding. Had a long running conversation with God on the walk home filled with muttering and sighing but also some thanks to keep myself in check.

Things worked out. bike was fixed for $5 today and i know even more who i can and can't rely on. Praise the Lord.
