"Psssst! Don't tell Phil about any changes in our important schedules!"
Today I went to the foot massage place by myself. It was nice. However, I made sure to avoid the eyes of the girl giving me the massage. Everytime I looked up or opened my eyes, she was looking right at me. Ok...this is freakin' me out. I ain't here by myself for a "happy ending" or anything more immoral. Icky. I was getting weirded out. I am hoping that since this is a nice place, it isn't like one of those "Rub n Tugs" that some of the other people attend. Speaking of which, one of the "Whore Hairdressing Shops" in town has been closed the past few days I have walked by it. Thats good. There are so many of these things all around here. Its gross.
After the massage thing, I bought a couple CD-Rs because I needed to put some fotos of Daisy on it to give to her mom. So, after I bought the CD-Rs, i bought a couple of those little money packets that people give little kids for Chinese New Year. I threw a few bucks into the packet, I burnt the CD then picked up some candy for her. I had called Jolleen and she said that for children of Daisy's age, 4 years old, its almost an insult to the parents to give money to the little kids because they really don't have an idea of what money is, but its better to give food or toys to them. The reason i gave a money packet is because I wanted to give a money packet for Chinese New Year. Screw chinese customs.
After I got it all together, I rode my bike over to their place. I remember her grandmama told me what number their house is and on what street. I rang the doorbell and her grandpapa answered. He was surprised to see me and my bag of goodies. He invited me in and told me that Daisy and her mom were out and about in town. I chatted with Grandmama and grandpapa for about 10 minutes, then took off since I had to pack for Hong Kong tomorrow.
Around 6pm, Grandpapa Jing-Xun gave me a call and I heard Daisy chirping in the background. They wanted to take me out to dinner. So I said sure. I met them at 630pm and we went to this place called Old Place. I got to witness a chinese Hamburger. Its about the size of a hamburger from White Castle. However, instead of a rubber chunk, they had about three small slices of beef smothered in chinese cheese topped with some lettuced. The bun was steamed so much it was soggy, but a good soggy. It was yummy. Daisy was cramming that thing into her mouth. Very humorous.
After dinner I stopped by the BOND office at 8pm to sign an amendment to my contract stating no evening classes and two consecutive days off for the next term. I had Owen call Guo Sifu to let him know I would be late by 20 minutes. I then headed to practice. I got to practice and I noticed tonite was gonna be a waste. For some reason the whole floor was covered in a thin layer of water like the Bowen floors were. If i tried at all to do any gung fu, i would slip and hurt myself. So I started picking up bad chinese habits of sitting around and doing nothing at practice. Around 930, Sifu still hadn't shown up and I got irritated. I called up Mountain and he was able to get a hold of Guo Sifu. At the same time that Mountain called me back, about 3 other staff members told Michelle to tell me that there was a problem with the HK trip on Sunday, so it was cancelled but that we would go on Monday. What? All you knew about this, and saw me sitting there for all this time and no one said anything, and sifu didn't even tell Owen when he called him two hours ago. This stuff has got to stop, but I know that it never will, and my irritation at it never will either.
Oh well. I came home.
Moses had bought a new DVD player for the house since Peter took his with him. So, I paid him for my share. Its a nice one. I think. Oh well.
Talk to you tomorrow.
