Outspokeness
I've always admire people that can stand up for what they believe in, and also be very frank and outspoken about it. My friend Eric fits in that category to the 'tee'.

One fine morning, Eric was in the John's minding his own business, when he heard a flush in one of the closed stalls. Seconds later, a man walked out and walked right past Eric heading straight to the door. Eric, being the person that he is, yelled at the man, "Hey you! You're not going to wash your hands?!"... *silence* The man sped up his walk. Then Eric yelled again, "Hey you, COME BACK here and wash those hands of yours!!!" The man turned the corner and walked swiftly away, slowly turning to a shade of tomato red in the face and the neck! <sup>1

1</sup> Story is as told by Eric. Being a female, I hereby clarify that I am NOT an eyewitness to the above-mentioned incident.

Geez, now how disgusting is that!! Eeew! That man certainly deserved to be yelled at. I am glad that Eric got to do it, because it'll probably mean that more damage was done, compared to the rest of us. *Chill, Eric, this is a compliment.*

On a totally different subject, anyone caught the Fox special "Girl Next Door: The Search for Playboy Centerfold"? If there's anything that can make me drop my jaws, roll my eyes, shake my head and sigh at the same time... it's those girls on the show. I know you men out there will be thinking that I'm jealous, but I'm not. In no way did I find any of these girls attractive. To me they are just a bunch of dumb@$$es rolling around in next to nothing. From their thoughts and action, there's really nothing much going on north of the chest area. Give me intelligent women anytime over these nicely primped bimbos.

Enough of human-bashing for the day. I'm going to turn my frown upside down and start enjoying my weekends. :)

Finally
Weekends are great. Last weekend especially. Now that Holly finally found out our little secret, it's okay to blog about it. Heh.

Elaine and Diana flew in last friday at 7pm and 8pm respectively, and after much hugging and "oh my, you look good!" conversation, we made our way to the parking lot, only to realize that yours truly totally forgotten where in the huge parking structure the 'soon-mobile' was parked. Luckily, a man in white BMW offered to drive around and look for my car, and so we finally found it -- about 2 feet away from where all three of us were standing at. Gosh, I hope that guy didn't think that these three beautiful young ladies are such moron for not remembering where the car was... For the record, beauty and brains do go together, but I just got too carried away with the excitement and all.

Over the course of the weekend, we did a canvas painting project, ate dim sum, chit-chat endlessly in my bedroom, grooved to Sade, sang out loud to Faye Wong's Red Bean, visit the Arch downtown, and basically just hung out like the good old times back in college.

The canvas project was the main reason of our secrecy... it's actually Holly's belated birthday present. We used a 24 x 30 canvas board, measured and taped it down in 4 x 4 squares, painted the squares with either yellow, red, magenta or blue, and then finally ironed on a t-shirt transfer print out that are pictures of the 4aunties taken during old times. The project turned out to be fantastic, the colors are so vibrant and nice. Oh Holly, to answer your question, we were thinking the painting could go above your fireplace. It'll be a nice contrasting piece among the white walls. Waddya think?

Once I get a breather, I will post the new photos that we've taken up on The Gallery.

I actually have a lot more to say for this weekend, but I'll save them for next time. My eyes are droopy now. Later everyone!
