Help I've Fallen and I can't get up!

Another monday, another week has begun. Had dim sum with the cakemaker and the baker on sunday at a place called Golden Phoenix. I didn't know where it was so I googled it and what came up was a link with a personal review of the place. They quoted staff as saying to them that "hey, the food is cheap, so the service is too. What do you expect?"

Needless to say it was correct. The food was alright and one of the cheapest dim sums in town. $1.90 per dish I think it was plus if you have a VIP card, you'd get another ten percent off.

Earlier last week while working away at home, I got a call from thte cakemaker asking for help. Her sister was on the floor experiencing alot of pain and couldn't get up. No one else was around so she just called anyone she could think of and I was one of them. I almost made it there to their small catering shop when I noticed a message saying that her relative had just arrived to take the sister to the clinic. She's pregnant. I was kind of relieved. On the way over, I started wondering how in the world was I going to lift her up with my one wrist being injured and all (snowboarding injury). It didn't matter at that point. After turning around to head back home, I decided to turn around and go back. Standard protocal for ambulances and emergency services to all arrive at the scene in case backup is needed right? I went there and the shops was empty.

The indoor volleyball league wrapped up last week. All we needed to do was win two games and we'd get third place overall in the lowest division. Unfortunately we crumbled at the words of our first opponent which was "you guys are gonna win." We got jinxed.

Registration for the beach volleyball league is coming along. Still waiting for people to get back to me and confirm. Remarkably, the team is quite different than what I had expected as there looks to be many new faces. Plus a lot of newbies to the sport I think so this should be interesting. Beginners volleyball all over again. My fingers are crossed for decent weather by the end of this month and beautiful sunsets after each and every game.

One of the new recruits is a very attractive young woman I just met today at Bonsor drop-in volleyball. A japanese foreign exchange student who was looking for a team to play with. So as luck would have it, we were short one or two players.

So while Tsubame leaves Canada to live in Japan, someone else enters my life in the opposite direction. Maybe this will give me more incentive to actually crack open the "japanese for everyone" exercise books which Tsubame left for me sooner than I had expected.

"Chiemi-chan. Yoroshiku!"

The SFU mandarine class department called me today asking if I would like to preregister for the next session of the conversational mandarin class. I turned them down because tomorrow the web photo class at Focal Point was starting on the same evening. With this next session covering the last few chapters in the text book, it doesn't look like I will be able to finish it in class. However, this might give me a chance to start taking photos again.
