So on monday august 19 I went shopping with my friend Kimberly. I bought a sweater from H&M and I have been too lazy to take a pic of it until now and yeah.
Then we went to T&T and bought a bunch of asian food (I also bought hair dye bc my cousin's wedding is coming up) and we sat at the tables there and a bunch of dimsum and matcha Pocky and matcha cookies and mango tapioca dessert like pigs. I felt kind of gross after but yeah.
Then on tuesday I finally went to my doctor about my cough. I was coughing for over 3 weeks now and it's getting so annoying. It started out like a dry cough and now it's just mucus-y and gross and it sounds gross and I feel like it grosses customers out when I cough while handling their shit at the checkstand hahaha but whatever. Basically she told me that it's normal for a cough to persist for about 4 weeks after a cold (I didn't even realize I had a cold??? lol) and she told me to take NyQuil and go to sleep by 11 pm every night (lol lbr who sleeps that early). And basically if I keep coughing for another week then I should go back to the doctor because then I would be coughing for 4 weeks now which I would assume is not good hahaha. One of my coworkers/the guy who trained me told me that I probably have bronchitis hahaha the funny thing is that I laughed and told him I didn't and then this week I went back to the doctor bc I was still coughing and apparently I HAVE BRONCHITIS lol I'll continue on about this later on in this post hahaha
Then on wednesday I had work again and nothing special. Just an evening shift and whatever. I actually like evening shifts though, bc the store is just so quiet and peaceful and people usually just buy very few items and mostly scannable items bc no one really buys produce at night so it's easy and you just chill and talk to the cashiers around you for a few hours.
Thursday I went to shopping at Metrotown by myself like a loner and I didn't buy anything but this is what I wore
h&m shirt, vintage necklace, american apparel shorts, vans shoes, american apparel backpack
Then on friday I had work an 8.5 hour shift and it was probably the worst day I've ever had at work omg. It was the grand reopening at safeway and basically there was this huge asian event going on there with all these deals on asian products and of course being the cheap asians that asians are, they all flocked in and literally the entire store was a sea of old chinese people who were diving at the discounted bags of rice, instant noodles, mangoes, asian bakery buns that were buy 3 get 3 free, and other shit that was on sale. It was just so busy and this one guy said that in the 40 years that he has been shopping at safeway, he has never seen it so busy. They had to literally call in people from other stores because I guess we didn't have enough employees and all of those district people who are high up there (as in like the bosses of my bosses or whatever) had to help out with bagging groceries. Like imagine middle aged men in suits bagging groceries. But the worst part was the customers. Like ugh some customers are just so rude and impatient and annoying and not only that but on that day a lot of them spoke little english so it was just really one big mess. At one point this asian guy who spoke english badly bought a chicken and claimed that I didn't give him change when he was holding the change in his hand and idk I think there was just a big misunderstanding on his part. He was making a huge scene yelling "YOU NO GIVE ME CHANGE!!!" and I'm like "I gave you your change, you're holding it..." and he's all like "NO U NO GIVE ME CHANGE" and then at one point he's like "I DONT WANT THIS CHICKEN NO MORE" and I'm like "sir I can't do refunds please go to customer service" and he's like "NO I WANT MONEY BACK I DONT WANT CHICKEN GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY" and I'm like "I'm sorry but I can't do refunds, you're gonna have to go to customer service" and he's like "NO I WANT TO RETURN CHICKEN" and I'm like "FOR THE LAST TIME I CAN'T REFUND UR CHICKEN" ugh omg I wanted to literally smack him with the fucking chicken omfg and also at one point this old white lady got really fed up with me bc I was trying to do her delivery order and she left a few items in her cart and I forgot to ring them through and she's all like "listen here young lady" like um what. But yeah the only upside to this day was that time literally flew bc it was just so busy. Other than that, it was just horrible.
Then on saturday I worked another 8.5 hour shift because it was still the reopening sale thing or whatever. I was originally supposed to work a 5 hour hour shift but my manager overheard me saying to my friend that I was only working 5 hours and asked me to work 8 hours ugh I should just shut up sometimes. So I worked from 2:30-11pm.
Sunday I had work again but my family went down to the States to go shopping in Seattle and I couldn't change my shift or switch to another day so they went without me. Sigh. I asked them to buy me white low top converse and black high top converse though. I don't have a pic of the black ones bc I already wore them out but here's a pic of my white ones
As you can see, it has a black trim rather than the red and blue trim. Initially when I saw these, I was mad bc I specifically asked for the original red and blue trim ones and these were NOT the ones. But then I tried them on and stared at them for a bit and then realized that I started to like these ones more. I mean it has a BLACK trim and black is like literally my favourite colour!! I like how it's kind of unique, you know? Like most people don't have this one. So yeah, I think I actually like them better than the original ones I asked for now. ^_^
Then on tuesday it was the first day of the Aritzia warehouse sale!!! It runs from aug 27-sept 2 and it's at the Vancouver Convention Centre. It opens from 8am-8pm everyday except the last 2 days are 10am-6pm. I lined up at 6:30am and I was lucky that I was in line inside the building. I was only a few metres from the door but regardless outside was cold so yeah. The line-up quickly turned huge and by the time the doors were about to open, I looked outside and the line stretched all the way to the other side of the water. I found this pic lol
So basically this is the other side of the water so the line went all the way around and yeah. I was so glad that I went early bc that must suck waiting in line outside for hours like that. I was actually within the first group of people to get in so when I got in, everything was all organized and on racks and nice. I quickly went to the cheaper section (lol I'm poor ok) and yeah. Here's a pic I got of the inside:
This photo makes the place look so much more empty and small than it really was. It was pretty big actually. But tbh I didn't really think the items were that good. Maybe they were trying to get rid of the shitty old clothes on the first day before putting out newer ones? Idk. But I was kind of disappointed by the sale. I spent only $80 which is waaaay less than most people so yeah.

So I only bought 4 items so here they are:

Here's a pic I got of the inside:
So I only bought 4 items so here they are:
Talula jeans, $29.99 (original price unknown)
Cheap Monday tank top, $9.99 (original price: $30.00)
Community knit tank top, $19.99 (original price: $55.00)
TNA shorts, $14.99 (original price: $40.00)
So the Talula jeans I bought were a sample pair so I don't know what the original price is. But $30 for a pair of jeans is pretty good! Plus I was looking for a cute pair of black jeans for a while now. The shorts I bought are just to lounge around in at home haha.
I'm planning to go to the sale again on sunday to see some new stuff since they put new stuff on the floor everyday and like every hour or whatever.
Later on that day I went to my family doctor again bc my cough still had not gone away and she told me I have bronchitis which is what my coworker told me I had a couple weeks ago but I laughed and dismissed it. So anyway she put me on antibiotics and let me tell you, these antibiotics are HELL. I have to take it twice a day (after breakfast and after dinner) and I get nauseous for an hour or two after taking it. I think the nausea is worse in the morning. But I literally get that carsick feeling and I feel like throwing up. Not only that but I've found that I get tired really quickly. Like, by late afternoon, I'm exhausted, even with a full night's sleep. I feel like my cough improved because currently it is not as mucus-y however it has not gone away yet. In fact I coughed so much that the ribs at my chest hurt. I only have antibiotics for one more day (tomorrow) so I'm not quite sure what to do after that.
Then in the evening I had to work from 8pm-12:15am which was my first time ever closing and tbh I don't really mind it. It's really quiet and chill and there's barely any customers and you basically just talk to other cashiers and the others are usually young too so yeah. But I was tired as fuck considering I woke up at 4am that day.
Then on wednesday morning I went to UBC and paid my tuition for this semester and bought a lab book. I am so fucked bc I have like NOTHING and I don't even know what to do and school is in literally 3 days (or actually 2 since it's like 2am right now). I am so unprepared and I regret not looking for textbooks and whatnot earlier. Fuck my life. Then I had work as usual afterwards. It's so sad how when you work, you schedule everything around work. Like, your life literally revolves around it.
Then on thursday I had work yet again but this time in the morning at 9:30am. I booked a physio appointment bc I didn't go for like over 2 weeks and I've been bad bc I had neglected doing my at-home exercises for a few days, but it was bc I've just been way too exhausted to do them and the rib soreness didn't exactly help. But I really should do it everyday as each session costs $60.
And then on friday (I suppose I could say yesterday but it's not actually yesterday) I had work at 8:30am and it was so early for me omg but yeah. I was supposed to work until 12:30pm but my shift got extended to 3pm. Honestly they really need to hire more cashiers bc we don't have enough and I keep getting called in to work on my days off.
And then I went to Metrotown and I finally bought the Naked Basics Palette!! I'm basically a noob with eyeshadow (sorry, I couldn't think of a better word) and since I don't use eyeshadow very much but would like to on certain occasions, I bought this simpler Naked Palette. I still want the original Naked Palette though but we'll see.
And I also had a dentist appointment yesterday and I got 2 cavities removed (I'm bad I know) but surprisingly and even without anesthetics it did not hurt at all. So it was all good.
Today I went to my cousin Tracy's wedding. I'm so tired now and I'll post pics and talk about it tomorrow. Bye for now!!
