I saw someone carrying a Marc Jacobs bag that Gem has. Beside her, a lady was reading "The time traveller's wife". It is a book I read recommended by Yr.

Here's the story:

I made an appointment to view an apartment at Washington Heights. The landlord said there will be a person-in-charge to show me the place at 2 pm. During the email correspondence (in which she took so long to reply), I gave her my cell phone number when she asked for it. When I asked for hers, I did not receive a reply.

I decided to still go to the apartment because I trusted her and well... i was pretty desperate to find a place as well I'll admit. Well, apparently anyhow, it didn't pay. There was no one in sight when I got there. I still didn't have her number.. or any number at all. So my friends went with me for nothing. I felt so terrible. Arghh... i wrote her a pretty annoyed email after not receiving any calls from her or that "supposed" person-in-charge at all the entire day. I was so disappointed to find out from a person in the building that there was no security or anyone in charge of the place. I even called the number I saw on the wall for TRESSPASSING... yeahh.. that's how desperate i was.

Here's the second story:

Zhi Ying and I were buying bubble tea at the... well... bubble tea/food shop. Anyway. This Spanish guy asked for MochiE. Nope.. I didn't spell that. He did. He said "Do you have mochiE? M-O-C-H-I-E". Immediately I was like.. hmm.. this could get pretty interesting. and it actually did.

The Spanish guy wanted green tea flavoured mochiE. okay.. except for the spelling of the word he gave, you might think it makes perfect sense. And it did. Then he went on to say, "I don't want tapioca- [meaning (pearls/zhenzhu)]. The last time, you put tapioca in it. I don't want that." Tapioca in Mochi ice-cream? I dont think mochi ever got so... innovated. So the PRC cashier replied him saying, "there's no tapioca in the mochiE." And the guys exchanged a few more words before the cashier handed him 3 pieces of Mochi icecream. The man took a bite outta it and said, "No. I wanted the green tea mochiE smoothie!" <------ can someone explain in layman terms WHAT THAT IS?

Anyway, the PRC cashier went on to say something like, "You said you wanted Mochi so I gave you Mochi." "But I wanted mochiE green tea Smoothie!" the Spanish guy replied. And the poor cashier painstakingly explaiinnneed: "There is no such thing as mochiE green tea smoothie... If you wanted a smoothie, why did you take a bite outta the mochi when you knew that wasn't what you wanted?!" So the Spanish guy said sth not-so-smart like "It was your fault man.. you didn't give me what i want." Pretty understandably (even though I do not encourage AT ALL), a few F words were mentioned..... and the PRC even asked the Spanish guy to call the cops because he didn't wanna argue.

Well, apparently that was of no use because the Spanish guy continued to ask for his green tea mochiE smoothie and my friend and I finally left the shop with our bubble tea. Well... sorry spanish mochiE munster. STILL no such thing as green tea mochi smoothie no matter how many times you ask within that 5 -8 mins. I felt sorry I couldn't watch the end of the show. I wonder if someone pulled some punches.

Oh wells...
