Weird Connection

Isn't chemistry weird? Especially between 2 persons? The connection you feel with every person you meet is different. What causes it?

Upon meeting Pam, I found it easy to get to know her. Second time meeting her, I knew we could be good friends. Third encounter, it's friends for life. But of course, life is constantly throwing us curve balls.

She had been in Toronto for a few months for a job, and now she has moved back to the west coast. One night when we were out having dinner with a group of friends, I found out that Pam is leaving in the next afternoon and was gonna take a cab to the airport. Being a person who has travelled to and from the airport many times, I know how expensive it can be. And it can be sad to have no one to say bye to at the airport.

It was nice having the opportunity to get to know her away from the crowd. And now, I know I will always have a place to stay when I visit Vancouver!

No Thanks on Thanksgiving?

Second year in a row, I was alone on this day of Thanks and family. On some level, I do not really care because this isn't something I celebrated when I was growing up. But for the first 6yrs that I was here, we've always took this opportunity to get together to eat chicken(coz we don't like turkey) and have a good time! Sadly, for the past 2 years, I have been alone... It should feel just like any other weekend that I stay home, but just because it has been advertised as Thanksgiving, the mind plays tricks on you! *sob sob*

Sex Symbol, Kim Cattrall's Book Signing

All week, I've heard about the upcoming Kim Cattrall's booking signing at the Indigo in Eaton Centre. First of all, I didn't even realise she wrote a book, let alone a second - Sexual Intelligence.


Thinking to myself, I wouldn't mind meeting her but would I go all the way downtown, spend money to buy a book that I'm not interested in and waste time lining up for a 3sec experience. Especially since I do not anticipate myself thinking up something smart to say to her.


So when my friend asked me this morning if I wanted to go, I hesistated a moment. In the end, I said yes coz my friend really wanted to go and I like Kim's character in Sex and the City. Besides, this is the life of being unemployed, going wherever I want since I'm not stuck in an office.


Of we went. I dressed up funky(or tried to be), and my friend dressed up chic, both out to impress.
Check out Kim Cattrall's shoes in the first pic! It's gorgeous! Who would have though to pair up green shoes with a dress of that shade? She pulled it off wonderfully! I wasn't the only one to notice her sexy shoes. Wish I could walk or just stand in sexy shoes with those kind of heels... *sigh*


Anyways, she was cool, and friendly. No attitude at all, and was willing to spend time with each and every person that was there. Some stupid jerk was trying to stop me from taking pictures when it was my turn to go up coz Kim was spending too much time with each person and they want everyone in line to have a chance to get their book signed. Ok, u may think that what he said was reasonable, but I've checked the number of people in the line and the speed of the line moving(with almost everyone in front of me taking the time to take pictures with her), and there would be no problem for everyone getting their chance.

My friend and I were trying to be considerate by her posing while she is signing, so maybe cutting down the time, but Kim Cattrall herself wanted to pose for the picture. So I don't think anyone can blame us for anything! I ended up spending more time (by that, I mean like 45secs) than I anticipated when it was my turn. I didn't plan for that to happen. Out of the corner of my eyes, I can see that stupid guy giving me a dirty look! Muahahahahaha!!! If I were to pay over $30 for a book that doesn't interest me, I believe I earned the rights to my 2mins with the author!
