No I'm not getting a car, I don't even have my fucking license lol. I should really get on that... but I have been looking at driving schools.
Steve has been looking for a car for a while now, mainly because his mom can't drive a manual car and she's been nagging him non-stop for him to give her rides to wherever and its interrupting his school/work schedule as well as stressing the shit out of him. Plus we can't really go out without her calling us and telling us to get her something and bring her somewhere >.< "where are you?" "Are you coming home soon?" "eat dinner at home, don't eat out" STFU lah!
Me and Steve always take walks around the automall just to look and spend some time with each other, we used to walk Athena (our German shepherd T_T) there. A few times Steve would find something both him and his mom would like, he would take a photo and show it to his mom and she would say ok lets go see it. We would go see it and then she would change her mind because the car salesman would be too aggressive.
Last night we went to Destination Mazda in Vancouver because according to their website they had a car that Steve liked and he's been looking for, for a while now. We casually walked their used car lot and as soon as we headed near the front a salesman comes out and says "is there anything I can help you with?" which is quite typical I would think. We just said "we are just looking" and he starts following us... Steve got weirded out and just asked if they had what he was looking for. The gentleman took us inside and flipped through some book and told us that it was gone (which we already assumed since it wasn't in the used car lot) so we were like "ok that's fine we were just looking anyways" and we headed out.
As soon as we headed out the guy runs after us and asks "why are you looking for that car? we have this other car you can see" Steve said "no that's fine, we came to see this car" and the guy got super pissy and said "Are you looking to buy a car or what?" Steve says "Eventually but we wanted to see if you had this" he says back "why did you even come if you are not going to look at other cars" Anyways long story short... Steve got mad at the guy for being rude and pushy and the guy got mad at Steve for not looking at other cars, lol.
Ok, I've worked in retail (which I HATED lol) and if I could buy a car online with no sales pressure, I would. I understand this guy is on commission but the experience with this guy made it so I never want to set foot on that lot ever again. I hate that as soon as a salesman see you "you are their customer" automatically like come on. I think I am entitled to pick who gets my commission.
When you set out to look for a car I would generally think that you would do a little research on what kind of car you want, what price range it's in, designs, etc etc. I mean if I'm gonna spend over $10,000 I would want to do the research unless I was a millionaire. But really if you decide you want to buy a car would you do online research? or would you just randomly go down to any dealership and roam around? Personally I would do my research first and then go down there.
When the time comes and I find a car that I want to purchase I'm going to have to filter the salesmen really really good lol.
How was your experience purchasing your car? Did you feel pressured?

Arrived in Colorado
What a long day holy smokes.
This morning I woke up at 9AM, I wanted to sleep in longer but then my friend decided to call me for some reason, I can't recall what it was about but we had a 48 minute conversation lol but it was good I had to get up and run some errands anyways.
So I went to the bank today, got some shampoo and bought some travel sized toothpaste as well as some travel insurance. I also had a short lunch with my two friends to catch up, I really wish I didn't have to go but fuck my freaking dad was making me.
So I went home, finished packing and then we headed down to the Seattle airport. At the border my mom airily says to me "I came to this border crossing last month" I was like wtf? because she didn't have a passport and she says "they detained me for 3 hours because I didn't have a passport or ID" and then starts laughing....
Along the way my mom kept bitching about how I shouldn't talk to Steve when we were driving down, I was like wtf we chat all the time he's not a shitty driver that's easily distracted. Speaking about shitty drivers OMG Americans! if you want to drive faster change fucking lanes. This douchebag was tailgating us for 10 minutes and Steve's like "I'm driving the speed limit, if you want to speed change fucking lanes" There was no one else in the other lanes so he wouldn't even have to signal or anything if he wanted to. The asshole then changes lanes and starts flippin out at us. I think I can get a video of this guy because Steve has a black box LOL. I hope he gets murdered.
The traffic was horrendous! we almost missed our flight we arrived 45 minutes before the plane took off. I was glad we were able to make it but my stupid mom got us in trouble with airport security because she fucking wanted to skip the line WTF and I was like no come here and line up and she's like no! WTF baaaaahhh! and the guy was like WTF are you doing? >.< NEVER TRAVELING WITH HER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!
Then on the plane.. we got to sit separately (hurray!) she sat in the row in front of me and then the whole time she decides to pretend not to know how to speak a word of english and tells the flight attendant:
Flight attendant: Hi, you are seated at a emergency exit seat, if we have an emergency I'll have to ask you for assistance.
Mom: I no speak english but my daughter is sitting right behind me
Flight attendant: Ok.. your going to have to move because if we have a situation you will probably cause more problems
O_O wtf and then when they came around to offer us coffee she freaking tells the flight attendant to ask me if she wants cream and sugar in her fucking coffee I'm like how the hell do I know? (at this point she's now sitting 2 rows in front of me)
but now we're here in Denver to be specific Laffayette (I have no idea how to spell it and I am dead tired) my aunt seems to be holding up ok but she keeps mentioning that she wants to just end her life T_T and my girl cousin speaks to my mom all funny lol like "your good at stuff" "your really good at doing these things" nei hai ho lek ah LOL she speaks to her like she would with a child. My older cousin is kind of quiet but nice. Let's see how the rest of the weekend goes.
I want to leave already not because of my family its just I don't really know anyone here and I just like the comfort of home.
I think I should start a crazy chinese mom diary on this blog lol

Pre-Vacation Prep
Meeeoooow
Preparations are under way for my unexpected visit to the US tomorrow.
I really did not want to meet my cousins as adults this way but I am going to their father's funeral T_T it was a really unexpected tragedy and happened sudden so I want to be there at least to say hello and offer my support. But I would've preferred to have went by myself than with my mom.
I don't think I've mentioned this before but my mom is a psychopath... lol. She doesn't think like a normal person. She's really manipulative and a compulsive liar. Plus she has gambling issues and dementia but we'll get into that later LOL (true story).
We had to get my mom a new passport to go to the funeral (in Colorado) My stupid parents don't know how to fill out the freaking form so I had to do it and it turns out my dad gave me the wrong form. Its that time of year where everyone is traveling so they decide to renew or get their passport last minute >.< so there's a huge line up.
I had to wait about 40 minutes for the pre-screening passport form line three times! because my dad gave me the wrong form. Then I got Steve to fill out the right form at home and get my mom's ID's and signature and bring it back because I didn't want to go home and then come back. You know when you sign a government document and there's a box for you to sign and there's a grey space that says "void if written in grey area" my mom had to sign that fucking paper like 10 times because she's fucking stupid and kept signing in there!
Anyways I waited in the line the second time for 40 minutes (again) and then they told me for express pick up my mom would have to be there. I was so pissed off they could've told me that the first time and when I told my mom that we'd have to go on the Tuesday to the passport office she was all pissed off "you did it wrong on purpose because you don't want me to be happy" so stupid wtf!! You think I wanted to wait 2 hours in the fucking line and waste my time on purpose just to make you unhappy? ridiculous!
Then on Tuesday we went downtown to the passport office. I told her which direction to drive and when we got close I told her to look out for a parking space. What does she do? drive as slow as possible downtown with traffic behind her and when we were supposed to stop at a red light she keeps driving and almost kills 5 people until I yelled for her to stop. It went like this:
Me: STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!
Mom: Shut your mouth, you want me to fucking get into a car accident?
Me: You will get into a car accident if you don't fucking stop at a red light!
Mom: You don't fucking know anything
Good job Canadian Government for giving back her drivers license you really did a huge favor to the public instead of giving her a fucking memory test maybe you should've given her a standard driving test wtf.
Anyways we found a parkade downtown to park in. My mom likes to pretend that she's handicapped when she goes to the doctor and acts super retarded because she thinks the government will give her money, instead they gave her a handicapped parking thing. So we were looking for a space and then she goes "Oh there's a space" and points to the only handicapped space that can only fit a small sedan (we have a fucking venza) I told her no because the car is way too big and if she did park there it would block anyone that wants to park in the parkade or anyone that wants to leave it, then she freaked out. Bleh.
At the passport office she tried to budge the line and told the security officer "my leg hurts, I can't stand for very long" *rolls eyes* then she starts bitching to me about how I should've gotten her passport done earlier. I told her "this is the last time I'm helping you with anything" fuck.
We finally get to the counter and the guy asks me the general questions like when are your travel dates, who is this for, etc etc... I'm answering them and my mom goes "my sister just die I need go US very fast" and then I told the guy we would prefer express service if she qualifies and then my mom goes "Shut your mouth, don't fucking say anything" the guy then is like WTF because he totally understood her (she said it in chinese) lol, bipolar much?
Anyways we got everything done and on the way out of the parking lot we had to pay and then my mom freaked out because she thought it was too expensive. It was $13, its expensive because its downtown (I paid). She freaked out at the guy and said that because the parking lot attendant was of Indian decent he purposely overcharged us... blah and then she started swearing at him and she demanded that I give her the receipt so she can sue him. DA FUCK. I am not looking forward with traveling with her.
I wished that instead of my uncle passing my mom would've went instead. But as my friend says "evil never dies"

Well I've never been to Colorado before so it will be an interesting experience, I think I will purposely make it so I don't sit with my mom on the plane LOL.
In about 3 weeks (give or take?) I will have a real vacation to Hawaii with Ashley :D Should be interesting since I've never actually traveled anywhere with my sister lol. I was trying to lose weight for the past few months and then I abruptly got off the pill and then gained tons back, WTF!!
I really didn't expect this trip either, I feel really bad about it.
Bleh this post is really lacking any photos, I'm just going to put random photos of food up. hahaha.
Me and my friend found this place randomly downtown.
I think its called the noodle bar? or something..
we were heading to Japadog and walked past this place and was like
"oh we haven't been there before, and there's lots of people"
This is their seafood curry noodle in soup LOL I have no idea what its called but I know it had the word seafood in it. It has fish cakes in it,
was pretty good but I was so full already so I couldn't finish it.
I think from now on I'm just going to order two sides because that's what my friend did.
This is eggplant with soy sauce and peanut butter sauce.
I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, this was alright but I wouldn't order it because of the eggplant lol.
Spicy wontons! so gooood
Deep fried chicken balls with sugar cane.
THESE WERE SO GOOOOOOOOD!!! lol they were surprisingly light
and they had huge flavor O_O
so much food for two people, I thought we would share the noodles and then my friend goes
"oh yeah I forgot to tell you I hate curry" da fuck lol
The wait staff brought him the wrong dessert lol
Random shots of the restaurant
The front had tons of people, I guess cause lunch time was ending people started to leave
Sigh there's still much to do at home >.<
I have to:
- Do the dishes Steve sucks and won't clean
- Do the dishes Steve sucks and won't clean
- Do the laundry
- Go to the bank
- Pack
