Valentine's Day Survey / Assorted Quizzes

Valentines!

Notes to self: Quizlee is apparently off the Internet now, and Just Say Hi won't render HTML quiz results like it did before. It might, but I don't see any after some searching. Oh well.


Valentine's Day Survey, from Teunis

1. Are you single or taken? Taken.

2. Chocolate or flowers? Chocolate, I guess.

3. Will you do anything special for Valentine's Day? Consuming little dragon buns and other things at Long's Noodle House with an assortment of people. Other than that, no special plans. Keeping it lo-fi, haha.

4. Do you like anyone? Besides the person I'm dating now? No. *horror*

5. Were you dating anyone last Valentine's? No.

6. What would be your dream Valentine's date? Hmm... dinner, doing things together, and talking about all sorts of things until we fell asleep in each other's arms. :D

7. Do you make a big deal about Valentine's? Not really... it's interesting how media shapes our expectations!

8. Have you ever had a secret admirer? *thinks* Not that I know of... it would have been nice, but also kinda stalkerish!

9. Would you ever write someone a love letter? T's R.E.M. reference ROCKS! I might, if given the proper impetus. ;) (not sure how well it would translate, although I've had people say that I write well!)

10. Do you believe in Cupid? As the romantic ideal, maybe just a bit. (too much of the kid in me? Haha.)

11. Do your parents give you presents on Valentine's? No.

12. Do you still send out Valentine's cards? Haven't done that in a while. Maybe I'll go to the store and get some of the kiddy ones, but then I'll always leave people out, and that's no fun. :(

13. Do you like candy hearts? Somewhat.

15. Is Valentine's depressing? I do remember writing a rant five years ago now that still kinda stands the test of time. (ha ha) But I guess it's one of those "meh" kind of things... neither depressing nor jubilant. However, little Hannah's Valentine's card was the highlight of this week so far! (the SLB tomorrow will be even more so...)

16. How do you feel about PDA? I remember having this discussion with someone in a T&T supermarket aisle, and came out against them. They can be okay, if they're done tastefully...

17. How is your love life? It's getting better, I think.

18. Have you ever been dumped on Valentine's? No... that would be HORRIBLE! That would taint my memory forever!

19. How many roses would you want? As long as I don't have to carry them around with me all day, any number is fine by me! (yay!)

20. Will you have a boyfriend / girlfriend next Valentine's? Depends on time and circumstance, I suppose. Maybe it'll be an upgrade! :O

Hon's has bubble tea now?! Yay, birthday dinners!

I decided to debut my blue-green (turquoise?) beret from Auntie Catherine in September 2006 - it matched my sister's Helly Hansen jacket, heh. Went to the townhouse at around 4:30 or so, and arrived at the same time as Mom did. Thank goodness Grandma didn't lock the door! There was this time that she DID - my sister arrived home and tried to gain entry. Eventually, she went to the 7-11 since she had to hang out somewhere for half an hour or so - yes, she was very annoyed. :P

Did some email upkeep before we left again for Hon's and the family birthday dinner for my sister, and my eyes thanked me for the mini-break they're having from Korey's Netspeak, haha. Mom gave me some lucky money from Auntie Kwai - yes, I *know* enough to thank her even when she's not wealthy! *rolleyes* Got my sibs to sign Martin's birthday card; when my parents asked who it was, we said that he was kinda new-ish (known him over a year?) and that we quite liked him. He and Raymond are good additions, that's for sure. All of us are grateful for them!

Talked about Dylan, age, apologies, Yazmine, Evites and Eric ("does he have plans?!"), "should" vs. "should not," stupid assumptions, SLB on Thursday, last year's family birthday dinners for Steph and Grandma (Paterson Restaurant!), our great-grandma (she liked wrestling!) dying on Grandma's birthday (about three weeks from now), the old superstition where you don't celebrate after the birthday, and more. Grandma's way of showing she cares is kind of amusing: "Give the men some meat! Maybe I'll take my grandson to Bo Kong! Some of the dishes there are REALLY EXPENSIVE!" Also discussed duck, scallops, exercise, crunchy bird's nest, broccoli overkill, diabetes, clogging arteries, the messy twins at the next table, tall Chinese people, Chinese New Year food, lunches and dinners out, etc. Steph does have a busy week ahead, that's for sure! Gave her the wedding MC book so Joey can look at it too, which she thanked me for - Dad thought it was only for the best man, hahaha.

Saw iPearl, which is apparently Hon's new bubble tea place - it is SO small, and right by the frozen potstickers and other stuff for sale! Jon joked that we could go there after Long's on Thursday, but we might take up practically all the room with only three tables. Asked him if he'd received Eunice's reply - he had, and thought "how dare you hold SLB outing on your annual singles night?!" was funny. She can't make it since she's going to the Minnesota game, but at least my spamming people's inboxes got her to do the same! Got home at 7:25, and found out that Mel and Frances have had their baby boy - he's SO CUTE! :D

I just got a weird phone call from Hong Kong via a 604 number - how very bizarre. o_O

It's the Year of the Rat!





新年快乐!

GUUNG HEY FAT CHOY! HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! It's the year of the RAT!



Ah, the joys of phone conversations with my mother...

1. "Can you tell me what my library card number is? Jon has it memorized..." No, I can't tell you what it is. The only reason my brother has it memorized is so that he can use it when his card is maxed out / has massive fines on it. (or so he can use it on the library computer for work time) I also told her to look up the library's phone number on Google - even she should be able to do that, heh.

2. "I don't know how to use laptops yet. Come over and teach me!" It's not THAT hard, Mom... all you do is sit at the computer, go to IE or Firefox, and type in the website you want to go to! Her computer's apparently breaking down, and she told me all this stuff about numbers that I don't need to know. I told her to use Steph's laptop - she doesn't want to go up to the third floor to use Dad's computer because of her knees.

Dallas isn't coming for dinner since he has an exam tonight, which he forgot about till recently - oops.
