Mar Mar goes to HK!!

...and off she goes to HK via Cathay Pacific. I don't really mind it when I travel alone, but since my aunt backed out last minute, my poor Mar Mar's gotta have to do a lot of the sightseeing by herself. Good thing she has friends taking care of her while she's there!! 今朝「雞啼咁早」(my alarm is a rooster cry LOL) 就起身車媽咪去機場. 6:20am wake up time...not too bad... compared to her arrival 4 weeks later when I have to be there to pick her up at 5:45AM!!!

Have fun in HK, Macao, Taiwan and other places Mar Mar!!!!!

Not a crank caller afterall?

So in the last few days I've been convinced that I was the target of a crank caller. However, I just received a call from a totally different number (also visible from call display) and an older man this time:

~ 1:03pm ~
M: Hi, I'm calling about the ad you have in the Sun
J: What ad is this?!?
M: Yes, the ad from the Toronto Sun
J: Yes I know, what ad is this?
M: (pause)
J: What is the ad about?
M: (hesitates) Adult Entertainment
J: Okay, someone's gonna have to call the Sun and let them know they've printed the wrong number!!!
M: Oh, I'm so sorry sweetie... bye bye

The man was pleasant enough on the phone. Unless people have absolutely NOTHING to do with their lives than to crank call people and get others to crank call the same person, I'm convinced that those calls were truly in response to this "adult entertainment" ad. Now I'd like to find out what this ad says and call the Sun to complain!!!

PS: 可可 I believe that you are correct ;)

Damn that freakin crank caller

That damned crank caller called back AGAIN last night... at freaking 2:32am!! >.<

Welcome to the Club!

Today marks a very special day for 文生... it's his BIRTHDAY!!!

As a tradition, we celebrate 文生's birthday with another birthday girl who happens to be just FIVE days older... PEGGY!! On Saturday, we went for Japanese cuisine at Miyabi where the 6 of us were barely full from having the sashimi boat, uni sushi, beef tataki, lobster tempura, hamachi kama and the giant California roll of a sushi "cake" that I made. We ended up having to order more food over bubble tea at the Green Grotto. LOL!

On Sunday, the celebrations continued as I managed to keep 文生 in the dark (despite him being at home for the entire day) for the surprise 盆菜 dinner we had at home. Thanks Mom, for preparing the yummy 海參, 冬菇, 發菜, 扣肉 etc. etc. It was a BIG pot of 盆菜 but the 6 of us managed to eat it ALL!! Muahahahaha!!

Happy Birthday Hun Hun and Peggy!!

Crank call?

Last night, I went out with Meishan for hotpot at Icook Buffet. Had the 酸菜魚鍋 and the 臭臭鍋. They were both quite good! The 臭臭鍋 could be a bit more stinky though.

As I was getting out of the elevator after driving Meishan home, my phone rang. Fumbling with my keys, bags, wet umbrella and my phone, I picked it up wondering who would call me at such an ungodly hour. The call was from a slightly clueless young man. Conversation as follows:

~ 12:58am ~
M: I'm calling about the ad you have in the paper.
J: Uh, okay...
M: I'd like to know how much you charge?
J: What number are you calling?
M: repeated my phone number
J: Uh, okay... you're calling my number from an ad.
M: Yes, so how much do you charge?
J: Depends on where you saw the ad... (I wanted to find out where he got my number)
M: Um...it was from the Sun. So, what is your rate?
J: You want the per minute rate or the hourly rate? (Really curious about what he's calling about now)
M: Um...the hourly rate.

At that point, I really didn't know how to continue so I hung up on him. Still puzzled, I thought that would be the end of the 2-minute conversation. As I had just stepped through the front door, I started telling 文生 about this weird call. At 1:00am, he calls back and I purposely ignore the call. He calls back a third time so I got 文生 to take the call. This time, he tells 文生 he got the wrong number. This is the kicker - he then sends me a text message!

I'm guessing this boy is serious for this quote!! If it takes 3 phone calls and 1 text message at 1:00am in the morning, it better be a desperate call. This is by far the most original crank call I've gotten, in the 14+ years of having this phone number. Go figure!
