dim sum at oakland was so good...it's still not as great compared to s'pore, but deprivation makes people feel grateful for what they have. went with four other people, and we spent about $11 a head...that's the bad thing about eating out here, got to pay for myself, yes...i'm cheapskate, i'll admit it. was supposed to be a short trip, go eat then go back and study. but one of the seniors ended up driving us there, so after we ate we drove over to the chinese supermarket in another city, by the time i got back it was 2.30 in the afternoon...we left at 9.30 in the morning, so that was a long short trip!
at the chinese supermarket we saw these workers carrying whole pigs into a restaurant nearby, it was both gross and funny at the same time...gross coz, well, dead pigs just aren't a very pleasant sight, especially when you see their undersides. but it was funny, coz the workers slung the pigs over their shoulders, as they walked away from us, the pigs' rumps were just shaking from side to side, getting smaller in the distance. k, maybe it's my warped sense of humor, but i honestly thought it entertaining. and chris, of course it made me think of you, pigs and butts, what better combination. =)
spent the afternoon holed up in the library, coz i needed to read this book that's on one day reserve in the library (that means i can only check the book out for one day, which is crazy. who can finish reading a book in a day?). went for a long dinner, although i was seriously not hungry...dinner itself wasn't that long, coz some of my friends had to go off to watch the Cal-USC volleyball game at 7, one of my other friends didn't "feel" like going back to his room, so we ended up going to another friend's room to sit and talk for a pretty long time. k, really have to get back to studying now, coz i told my roommate i'd watch a movie with her at 10, and it's already almost 9.30...and the whole reason why i didn't go to LA this weekend was coz i was supposed to stay in and study!
