Was working at the union today. Unlike my usual set-up duty, i am doing the special art fair job of man-ing the drive (the kennedy drive at the back of the Munion.) And suddenly, i realised tat i am like this character in one of the four great chinese epic novels -- the journey to the west a.k.a. monkey king a.k.a xi you ji. Which character??? the PIIIIIG. Well ya see, there is this character which was originally incharge of guarding the South Heavenly gate of heaven - THE gate to the heaven according to Taoist believe and in tat book. Tat character was originally call Tian Peng Yuan Shuai which kinda means the Heavenly Hawk General. He is a very important man which lotsa power and respected by ppl. But BUT BUT, he screwed up on his job and oso offended the moon fairy and was banished to earth in the form of a PIG. Sooooo, it is exactly like how i feel while doing my job. See, I will decide who gets to go into the drive way to unload their cargo. While strictly speaking i can onli allow food vendors to go in, i dun really see why i can't make ppl's life easier and let ppl go in and unload their cargo if tat is all tat they wanna do. Also, everyone greets me when they go in and when they go out which was very nice of them. And oso for the fact i am guarding a makeshift "gate". of course, if i screw up, i will become a pig lor. HAHAHAH... understand wat i mean now??
Computer is still very screw up. I will get disconnected from the internet if my computer hangs. And tat will mean i can't open more than 3 operations at anyone time. Which is really ridiculous... then wat diff does comcast cable differ from the almighty Singnet dial up service?? crap... but luckily, been quite busy lately oso. For the past two days i have been volunteering at the ann arbor art fair, which if i am not wrong, is the largest street art fair in north east america. But largest or not, the size is really amazing and lotsa stuff to see. I am volunteering at the info booth. WHICH MEANS:
I sit there pretending to know everything
Ppl come to me pretending i know everything
I try to answer their questions pretending i know everything
Ppl listen to my answer pretending i know everything
pretty cool analogy eh?! HAHAHAH... but seriously, i think it is very fun and interesting. But sadly i am working at the HIGH CLASS side of the art fair and the cheapest item i found is this smaller-than-palm black color glass which cost 90 bucks... CRAZY!!!! but luckily i took some time to walk around liberty and state st side and saw some nice but cheaper items there. Was thinking of buying a neck chain but i am not gonna buy anything tat cost more than 10 buck. but seriously, dun really think i need any thing extra. got enuff cloth... oh wait... i need to buy a baggy long pants. the blardy levis jeans i bought is shrinking and i can't walk properly in them. actually it is very big size, but i am just not use to tat kind of cutting. For me, i prefer ultra-duper baggy pants. so the poor levis jeans which "fit-just-nice" is NOT under my NICE category of clothing. HAHAHA... so i shall see if got any cheap big pants around and i'll grab some. other than tat, it is still the age long hunt for a cheap track shoe. or rather a Queensway lower-mid end kind of cross trainer or some sort. looking at anything below 40 greenbacks and hopefully i have something before fall start. but seriously, i really like my old shoe even thou got holes here and there liao... BUT THEY ARE SO BLARDY COMFORTABLE!!! sigh... i just have this thing with parting with old stuffs. i think next time i will need to build a new room after every five year coz all the old stuff will pile up so high and my mom won't be around me to throw those junks away. HAHAHA
