Bits and Pieces...

A Caucasian family were on the same bus as me tonight. They were seated on the same row but different sides of the busy. The lady kept looking at her map, and asked the husband if they need to get down to walk. As I was facing the lady, I don't know what was the reaction of the husband. But I guess he didn't want to, as her face looked resigned that the husband is not giving any ideas.

Then she couldn't hold her patience any longer and walked to the driver and asked him for directions. The minute she does that, I was reminded in one of the cartoon or american tv series, the women was lamenting that that's the thing about men, they are too proud to ask for directions. And here it is, living right in front of me. Haha! ;)

Brought nieces to watch Disney on Ice today. Wah, at the door, candy floss are selling at $12 a pop and mugs moulded with the faces of disney characters and filled with ice are worth $15 each, the programme magazine is sold at $20 each... I think it's ridiculous. Saw a women bought each of everything and thought to myself... She must've at least $50 on all those things..

Crazy. And I already can envision that they will be put aside by my nieces 2 weeks after the show.

It's my first time watching Disney on Ice. I thought it was pretty nice, even though it's all ice-skating. Like the Mulan story and Beauty and the Beast story presented in ice-skating. And like my niece, I like the part when all the princessess came out together to dance with their princes. Very nice.

Will I go again? Maybe yes, if the girls request for it. I will definitely not pay for those super expensive snacks. Crazy.

"Yours, Mine, Ours" is a very funny show. The story is definitely very recycled, but it does score if you are a person who likes wholesome shows. Oh, and also, the father (Dennis Quaid) and mother (Renee Rusoe) are not fat! I think both of them are in their 40s liao... their figures look as if they are still trapped in the early 30s...

That's what you have to do in Hollywood to survive.

As I watched the show, I told myself that I must work hard to earn more money. Don't ask me why, it just came up to me. That I must be hardworking and do very well in my translation class, so that I can freelance work and earn more money. So that I won't have to scrimp and worry about to give or not to give my nieces a treat to watch Disney on Ice. And also to have some decent savings for myself...

Most important of all, I have resolved not to be lazy and to be conscientious in my schoolwork. My goal is not just to pass, but to pass with good scores so that I can practice what I (claim) I like to do, get a decent looking diploma and earn money with it. Otherwise, why bother to spend money on it, only to waste it away, right?

I will begin my resolvement... tomorrow, I hope. :P
