Eventful Saturday

Just came home from n long & eventful Saturday....

In the morning, I took mom to see a fortune teller in Vancouver. The result was everything that we've already heard of or known for quite sometime. Therefore, it wasn't as a big of a surprise as I thought it would be. There are definitely issues to resolved and matters to be settled!! (sorry~ that is all I am willing to share at this moment, maybe will write more at a later time)

After that, mom needed to have her blood drawn, so we went to the Oakridge Lab. While we were waiting....a mother (from China) came in with her 2 children....they stormed in, and immediately went to the counter, even though there's a sign - "PLEASE TAKE A NUMNBER"

Mom: "Hello! I am here to see the doctor!"

Nurse: "Please take a number and take a seat, we will call your number soon."

Mom: "What? Please...I am just here to see the doctor"

Nurse: "I understand. But the sign says please take a number first, and we will call the numbers and you can then see the doctor"

The mother was forced to sit down and wait for her turn....she then turned to her children and said in Chinese...

"看吧! 這個國家就是這樣, 動作慢慢的, 又不懂人情. 萬一我的病情嚴重一點呢, 我還要拿牌等號碼嗎? 甚麼制度阿! 還真荒繆!"

OK! 1st of all, there is a sign saying "Please take a number", 2nd - You arrived later than everyone that are already in the waiting room...so WAIT for your turn!!. 3rd - It's called rules, laws, courtesy, and common knowledge on international politeness/good manners.

Wait...what am I talking about? I forgot that we are dealing with someone that are new to these concepts....**sigh**

After that whole unpleasant incident, I went for a haircut, which turned into a perm + highlights. The whole process lasted for 3 hours, and I was literally falling asleep in the chair. All in all, I love my new hairstyle.

It was a good ending to my much eventful morning~
