King Kong...
Apr. 9th, 2006 10:57 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
spottoToday was awesome...at the most part..
So anyway, my brother came back from Victoria to go to White Rock and work there for the liberal party representative in White Rock for 2 weeks before he moves back to Victoria to work for the government, anyway, he slept over a night at our house and then tomorrow at 9am we left. We drove to a Dim Sum place first for lunch and ate stuff, anyway, it was a 45 minute drive to White Rock, in which I hadn't been to since 5, and we were driving around the Highway looking for his god damned hotel.
My mom and dad complained that the hotel was a fuckload too far from his workplace (not in exact words of course, =P) and we were driving quite deep down South. SO MUCH South that we were a block away from the US BORDER!!! We found his extremely extravagant hotel and it had a swimming pool, a spa, massages, buffets...and of course...IS VERY NICE LOOKING. Like a giant resort, a huge looking 5-star place better than my whole neighbourhood of houses. You cannot describe how NICE AND RICH it looked. And everybody there was WHITE. Yes, so that's why White Rock is called White Rock, it is a huge rock filled with white people. We were the only Asians hanging around there. OUR CLOTHING wasn't the same as theirs. THEY had rich looking-nice clothing while we wore some cheap crap, with the exception of me, who was wearing a jogging suit...but nobody was wearing one either, so in other words...
WE LOOKED LIKE AN ASIAN EASTERN POOR FAMILY, WHICH WE ARE, SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF LUXURIOUS WHITE AMERICANS!
And then we entered his hotel room, and guess what the first thing I said?
"THERE'S NO COMPUTER!!!!"
(Yes, I am a geek) Anyway, that signalled that this whole hotel IS A VERY CRAPPY STUPID UGLY HOTEL FULL OF WHITE CHUBBY AMERICANS. Because it had no computer.
When we were driving there, there was a BEST WESTERN INN, which HAS A COMPUTER IN THEM WITH FREE INTERNET AND IS CHEAP CLOSE TO THIS ABSOLUTELY AMERICAN, WHITE, RICH, BASTARDOUS, CRAPPY HOTEL!!!!!!!!
Yeah, so I didn't like it. XD Anyway, we decided to look around, (which was very boring so I'll skip to the next point) We left the hotel to look for his office, where we drove back up and pass THAT REALLY GOOD WESTERN INN towards some small malls (outdoor kind of malls, there are MANY of them in Richmond, damnit) and walked around. I SAW SOMETHING THAT CAUGHT MY EYE...
"Kiki's Steak and Grill House!" (Not exactly those exact words since I don't remember, but it had Kiki in it and served steak, seafood, and pasta) So I was like, "OMG! KIKI SELLS PIECES OF COWS!!!!" Another thing that caught my eye was a DENTIST office that said, "Dr. W. Liang", and Liang is the last name of that traitorous first friend of mine way back in 2nd grade when I stopped bowing down to her selfishness which caused us to fight and her to never talk to me again...AND I WAS THE ONE WHO FELT GUILTY...I felt used...><
...then she called me back like 3 years later all happy and saying that she missed me and we haven't talked in forever like we never fought in the first place...and I was UNBELIEVABLY surprised...she now sounds like one of those popular girls at school...
Continuing on, we found his office, and in it contains WATER! That's right, WATER! Why am I making such a big deal of it? BECAUSE MY HOUSE LACKS COLD WATER SINCE NOBODY BOILS THE WATER AND LETS IT COOL AND WE ONLY HAVE HOT BOILING WATER TOO HOT FOR THE MOUTH TO DRINK.
Milk hurts me now, tap water is bad for you, and the only other drinkable beverages in the house is wine and tea, where tea makes you need more water and wine tastes disgusting and I'm only 15.
So yeah, I get my water from fruits now...I could throw them in a blender but our blender is gone and our old one broke, and blah.
Anyway, we went back to...GUESS WHERE? Yeh, TEH HOTEL!!
My dad was talking about how White Rock belongs to Surrey, since it's a city that is beside Surrey, but has some part of it. Like two cities in one but they're both named different or something. He compared it to how Richmond belongs to Richmond.
Oh yeah, HOW RICHMOND BELONGS TO RICHMOND...OF COURSE RICHMOND BELONGS TO RICHMOND!!! XD, that cracked me up.
Anyway, back at the hotel, my brother lost his BUS CARD which he needed to bus to work for the next two weeks, and we looked and looked and looked, BUT FOUND NOTHING BUT LINT AND COBWEBS...and we were watching TV, in which I watched Malaria infect a bunch of African people (it was interesting...>>) But I couldn't finish it, so I changed the channel to BLUES' CLUES!!! XD, Blue's Clues is very interesting, YOU MUST WATCH STEVE ACT LIKE AN IDIOT. Anyway, my mom, dad, and brother looked EVERYWHERE for that card (I wasn't much help, BTW, XD) and still couldn't find it...until my brother did.
In his wallet of cards.
That's right, how stupid was that? I was laughing a lot that day, oh yes...and it's not over yet. We decided to eat dinner (it was 3:30PM at the time) at McDonalds and jumped back into the Van to look for it. My dad thought there was a McDonalds at the American Border (BECAUSE WHERE THERE'S AMERICA, THERE'S MCDONALD'S!!!), but there wasn't and he kept hesitating to keep going or we'd be at the stop where we have to give our birth certificates and stuff to go to America (I WAS THIS CLOSE *makes gesture with fingers, 1 cm apart* TO GOING TO AMERICA!!) So we stopped in the middle of the pathway, BLOCKING ALL THE OTHER CARS, IN FRONT OF A SIGN THAT SAYS: "DO NOT BLOCK ENTRANCE", and just went straight after the whole family argued that you can't BLOCK the entrance. (My dad thought it said "No parking" and my mom thought it said, "No enter", XD) Eventually before we touched the gate to America, we drove backwards and found a spot to turn.
It's not over yet.
We turned and my dad, being the stubborn person he is, DID NOT take the highway that would indeed go back to Vancouver (but would go back on the road we came to the hotel, in which my mom and me saw a McDonald's) and turned and went on a street (not a highway) that went beside the beach, and yes the view was absolutely beautiful and for the first time in my life, I SAW MANSIONS IN REAL LIFE AND NOT ON TV!!! So many, such RICHNESS and such amount of white people!! But we got lost because of that and kept turning and turning back, and stuff like that. EVENTUALLY we found our way back on the main street, and kept going away from the hotel until we reached a McDonald's.
It was now 4:30PM...we drove for an hour...
Anyway, my mom had coupons, and I got this thing where I can get a free Mcflurry from buying Movie Camera tapes (yeah I know, weird), anyway, with all the coupons and crap, we got:
2 Medium Sprites
4 McChickens
2 Small Coffees
2 Medium Fries
1 Regular oreo McFlurry
...for 10.24...
That's less than half as the Dim Sum was, O_o, so yeah, a good tip for poor people...COUPONS ARE GOOD!!!
Also, I felt quite American that day (today, XD), since we came from the US Border driving around for an hour looking for a MCDONALD'S...
We drove back to the hotel and it took 15 minutes, so we drove everywhere for an hour to a McDonalds when if my dad DID NOT insist on going to the US Border, and then using a different street, we would've saved 45 minutes of GAS (which is the time to drive back to Vancouver) AND had some more time. There I wrote something on my hand and sent it to Shiroi using my bro's cellphone telling her I could not make it to our scheduled chat. (Yes, I schedule chats with her, I am more of a geek)
Now it was time to GO! So I said goodbye to my brother, the rich white Americans, the extravagant town of White Rock, and the highway, all the way through the highway I had my daydream stuck in my head. (It's a strange daydream, so I won't mention it...except for the fact that Li is 20 years old...XD) so we drove and drove and drove. Where we drove to my aunt's house and I watched...GASP, KING KONG!!!!
Of course, it wasn't a great movie. Not because of the movie itself, but because of the audience.
You see, this poor girl (or something) gets put into this movie business by some selfish yet determined guy to make a great film. It's supposed to be a film on a ship, but he changes his mind to an island, which they find in the middle of fog. This island is filled with weird people (ugly weird people) and is covered with skulls, and they escape except a few die and then one of them jump onto their ship and steal that girl, which they tie up and try to sacrifice it to Kong, who comes and takes her, but the girl shows entertainment (and respect) to the beast and they become friends!
Meanwhile some guy she fell in love with and visa versa came on the island with a bunch of people to try to save her, and they get attacked by giant humongo bugs, dinosaurs, and King Kong himself. Meanwhile the girl gets attacked by dinosaurs (T-Rex's) and Kong fights themoff super-cooly and saves the girl, now they truly are friends and he takes her to the top of some cliff to see the sunset. It is beautiful. Meanwhile the other crew of the ship save the remaining survivors (about 3 of 20...XD) and they want to turn back except for the guy who is in love with the girl and goes on. That guy finds Kong sleeping with the girl (don't think bad things you sick freaks), and tries to break the girl away but Kong awakes, and then bats come attacking. They eventually run off to the shore followed by Kong, who eventually gets drugged to sleep. (After killing half of the crew)
So that selfish producer guy chains the poor animal up and shows him to New York to see and gets lots of money...he renacts their whole adventure, except they replace the real people with lookalikes. This angered Kong, but what really angered him was the flash of thr camers and he barged out looking for that girl he made friends with (or love, whatever you wanna call with) he causes destruction of New York and that guy the girl fells in love with and visa versa tries to lead Kong to the girl so Kong would stop destroying everything. Eventually the girl finds Kong instead, and then run off together (after playing on the ice). They run from the missles shot by the army and he climbs the Empire State Building right to the top and manges to destroy 3 planes circling him. The shots though, are too much for him. (The guy who loses the girl and visa versa takes the elevator to the top to find the girl) The shots eventually wear the beast down and Kong almost collapses and looks at the girl one last time (who did SO much to try to save Kong)
Kong drops for the bullets have weakened him too much off the Empire State Building to his death, and dies. (Very sad, ;__;), the guy finally reaches the top and knows what happened. The girl is crying and hugs the guy. Meanwhile down on the streets all the people are taking pictures of the dead kong, and that selfish producer/director guy comes and says the last words of the movie.
BUT THEY ARE RUINED AND SO ARE MOST OF THE DIALOGUE, WHY? My fucking parents wouldn't fucking shut up so I could hear the actors fucking talk or at least hear the fucking last words of the fucking movie (sorry for the excessive swearing), and it RUINED IT ALL! They DID apologize and say I can watch it again without a peep out of them, BUT I JUST WATCHED IT. Watching again ruins the moment, for the words you hear no longer have meaning since you've watched it already!
SO I WAS MAD. >:(
It was 11PM by then and my cousin came up, no time to play games. So then we left that house...and now I came home to type about it.
Yes, that was my day today.
Oh, look here!
Check the top 100 scores, I'm number 82, XD...
I did play there today hoping to raise my score but I kept getting a 1:1 ratio which would just keep me at the same spot, =S
Desert Eagles rock my socks.
Yesterday I watched Battle B-Daman, hoping to see the rerun of Bull Supremacy, BUT I MISSED IT AND IT SHOWED BULL IDENTITY! ARGH!! I wanted BULL SUPREMACY!!! One of my favourite EARLY episodes! (So I was kind of mad there too)
