So, a couple days ago, Allan and I decided to play a little tennis. So we go there around 4:00, and when we get there, the tennis courts are just filled with about 40 kids around the age of 4 or 5. These kids are just screaming and running around all over the place, with like 2 or 3 adults watching over them. So, when Allan and I get to the courts, the adults tell the kids to keep off the last court to let Allan and I play tennis. We start playing, and these curious little kids decide to watch Allan and I play. Let me tell you, it was so much pressure playing in front of 20 ~ 30 little kids, all either cheering for you, or booing for you. Well, it started off with most of the little ones cheering for "the guy in the grey shirt". I was wearing a grey shirt, and Allan was wearing a white shirt. But after a couple bad hits into the net, and with Allan's natural charisma and skills with little children, how quickly did those kids go over to Allan's side. For the rest of the match, the kids were just chanting, "go guy in the white shirt, go guy in the white shirt!", and they were just booing me whenever I'd hit a ball into the net. Well, the adults told the kids not to boo us, cuz it was rude, but I could hear them all say "The guy in the white shirt is the fastest! He hits the ball super fast!" The kids even divided themselves up onto different sides of the court to show who they were cheering for. I had no one on my side. It really was quite the experience. I've never had an audience watching me play before, and boy were these kids vocal about it. It must be what Federer or Roddick feel like during the US Open. Or does anyone remember that match where the entire stadium was booing for Serena Williams? I now know what that must have felt like, and I really feel for her...

On Friday we had a surprise part for good old Ryan. For some reason I didn't think it was a "real" surprise party, and I almost ruined it by showing up 10 minutes late, and by parking my car in their parking lot. It's all good, cuz Ryan showed up an hour later, and a friend told me that I should probably move my car a bit further from the house. Well, it was a fun night, chilling with all of Ryan's imaginary friends. They're actually pretty nice for imaginary friends. Well, here's one to you Ryan, I'm really gonna miss you when you're gone, don't forget to let me know whenever you're in town. Stop just reading everyone else's blog and get your own blog so I know what crazy things you're up to.
On Saturday morning, Allan and I headed to London to visit Jon. We got there at around noon and had lunch at Wonder Sushi. It was all right. Well, Wonder Sushi's always good, but I think they were kinda sloppy with their rolls, and the really perky waitress wasn't there. After lunch, we headed over to the driving range. I think I'm getting worse at golf, I gonna try to work on my swing a bit more this summer. Jon and I also made a bet to see who could hit the ball closest to the flag. I lost this critical bet. Went back to Jon's place for dinner which consisted of a delicious schwarma(sp?). We mostly just chilled for the rest of the night. Played some poker, watched the Leafs game, watched the UFC. Oh man! Some really good fights!
Sunday we got up late and went out for lunch. Allan and I decided to go shopping since Jon had to "study" at the library. The guy lasted for about 15 minutes before it was time for him to pack it up and go home. Unfortunately for Allan and I, all the stores were closed, so we went to campus to meet up with some of Allan's Western buddies. With nothing to do, and with time to kill till dinner, Allan and I went back to Jon's place. Jon was already in his PJs and looking for any reason to get out of doing work. We watched Wedding Crashers, which was a pretty funny movie. "She was my first Asian!". Allan and I met up with some of his friends for dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. It was good, I got some of the dirt on Allan during his undergrad. We drove home after dinner, but it was a good weekend.
On a different note, my little bro just got a job at Wonderland. I'm really proud of the guy, so I'll refer to him as Winner-J instead of the usual Loser-J for this post. Well, this is a pretty exciting time in my life right now, all three Kwa kids have a job! Wooooaaaahhhh Kwa!

So I had a pretty fun weekend. Friday was Care's birthday, so a bunch of us went out to celebrate. It was a joined party with Andrea, so there were a lot of people, and I didn't know about half of them, but it was still a lot of fun. We went to Alice Fazooli's for dinner, which was all right, except that it was pretty expensive with tiny portions. After dinner we went out to some lounge, I forget the name. We just hung out and stuff. I finally learned how to play that drinking game with the cups and die.
Saturday I went down town to visit Neeta and Eric. For dinner we went to an Italian restaurant called Il Pasto, or something like that. I had the escargot pizza, and it was so good. Not too expensive either, I liked it a lot better than Alice Fazooli's. After dinner we watched the Inside Man, Eric vetoed all other choices. The movie was all right. It kind of had an interesting plot, but at the same time the movie kind of dragged on and got kind of boring. I crashed at Neeta's place. We kind of slept in on Sunday, and pretty much bumed around the entire day. We literally didn't leave her room the entire day and pretty much watched a bunch of DVD's and listened to music. The one thing that we did end up doing was go for a swim, but that definately took a lot of effort just getting out of bed. But it was good cuz the swim was a lot of fun, and Neeta's definately showing great signs of improvement.
Today after work, I finally used the free week pass to GoodLife that Puja gave to me (thanks). Man, what a great workout! Did chest, shoulders, and tris. This will be an intense week for working out. I just got back home and had my second dinner. After I finish this blog, I'm gonna down a delicious protein shake.

So yesterday was a fun night. The gmail thread that's been going on with friends from highschool has been pretty entertaining. It looks like more and more people are joining this thread, which is good cuz it helps a bunch of us keep in touch with eachother even though everyone's busy with their own lives. It also gives me some interesting stuff to read when I'm bored at work. Anyways, last night Nat, Britta, Puja, Jib, my bro and I got together for some bubble tea and bowling. It was nice seeing Britta, Puja and Jib since I don't get to see them very often. Yeah, and I still can't get over how smart Britta and Puja really are. Sometimes I forget how smart they really are and I'll even start to think of them as average people. But then something will come up and I'll realize that I'm in the presence of something much more and I could only wish that I could be that smart. Well, at least I beat them in bowling. Dang, and I was only two points behind Nat. I haven't beaten that guy in over a year, it's really pissing me off.
