Went to dim sum at Ocean Star with Cari, Decathanerd, and Ohfuee. I was shocked at how many people went to dim sum on a weekday! It wasn’t even a holiday for most people. Usually when I go to dim sum on a weekday, hardly anyone’s there. That day, we had to wait like 30mins before we got a table. For some reason, we sat in an area where no one really cared for us. Took us minutes to wave down a waiter to get us tea. Also took a long time to wave down a waiter to calculate our bill.
Thanks to Ohfuee for bringing this up, but I almost totally forgot about the shark fin soup lady. The shark fin soup lady that day (the lady that pushes the cart around with the shark fin soup selling for $10/bowl) stopped at our table. She literally stood there for a few minutes without saying anything. We had already told her that we didn’t want anything from her cart. All this time, she’s staring at me. I feel quite uncomfortable and start to slowly turn around to peak at what she’s doing. She suddenly starts talking. “How long have you had the tail?” ending with “It’s very cute.” I think my tail’s attracting attention from the wrong age group.
Afterwards, we went bowling at ABC. Bowled two games, both horribly. I think my scores averaged to about 60-70. Decathanerd had the best score for both games, breaking 100 on both.
Ohfuee needed to get some snowboard wax, so we headed to a sports shop close to Montebello mall. Guess who we saw there! MsticAzn! He apparently was looking at getting some laceless snowboard boots.
We went to get ice cream afterwards. It’s been awhile since I’ve had rainbow sherbet. That’s my favorite ice cream flavor when I was a kid. I’ve switched to chocolate chip later because you can’t ever find rainbow sherbet in the supermarket.
Afterwards, we headed back to Cari’s place and we played hours after hours of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The game sells on Amazon.com for $20. The Link in this story is cute, but not as cute as the Link in Minish Cap. The cutest scene is when Link wakes up after sleeping and shakes and tries to wake up the cap. Can’t seem to find the animation online, maybe I’ll capture it later for you. Anyway, back to Wind Waker. I always thought I disliked 3D Zelda games ever since the first one was introduced on the N64, but besides the tedious sailing, this one’s pretty fun. You actually have a dragon boat which is pretty cool because you can shoot bombs from a canon on it. I still prefer the 2D Zelda games because I really only have 4 directions to move in: up, down, left, right. In 3D Zelda games, it’s so hard to correct the direction, in the case where I need to jump and stuff and the focus button doesn’t exactly know which direction I need to go. One good thing is that the GameCube controller has more buttons to associate weapons with instead of just 2 on the GameBoy Advance. The charging of the sword required to do the spin attack is also no longer needed.
Also, the graphics totally remind me of The Emperor’s New Groove, especially when the bombs explode and smoke comes out.
We went to Noodle World for dinner and once again, we had bad luck with the waiters. I swear they tried to ignore us on purpose. Several waiters walked past our table, I was waving the menu, but they had their heads turn the other way, when there was nothing there! They were slow in bringing our plates and water and when we were trying to get a waiter to give us chopsticks. Hopefully, the patrons next to us who had already gotten thier chopsticks and not their food yet were nice enough to give us their chopsticks.
We then went back to Cari’s place to play some more Wind Waker. Decathanerd took a nap and we left around 2ish. I couldn’t believe it was that late already!
