Here comes trouble

I hadn't seen my former classmate since the Smurfit BBQ and to be honest that encounter wasn't very pleasant, My friend Nancy met him and warned me against him. So after that I basically kept my distance.

Then last Friday I had a really busy day planned. In the morning I met Guo Zhi Bai at college and typed up a letter for his Dad's visa application. His Dad is planning to come to Ireland for his graduation.

Then after, we had lunch together in Super Mac's and then I rushed to Dun Laoghraire to meet my friend Anna and some other friends to go Cinema.

We went to see Super 8 and to be honest it was super scary lol. I almost grabbed Anna's arm lol. Then on the way home on the dart my former classmate started texting me nonstop to meet me, I tried my best to say no.

But he kept insisting and before I knew it, he had driven to Bray. I hopped in his car and ended up in Tallagh, eating dumplings. then he told me he opened a new restaurant in Naas with a friend from the same city and asked me would i like to work as a waitress there.

I am still musing over it but basically it would require me living with him in his house...  I haven't managed to mention it to my boyfriend yet. But i am guessing its going to make his skin crawl. He hates my former classmate more than anyone =.=;;; What to do?

I don't know how I get involved with these awkward situations

The Burglary...

As much as I hate to admit it, My former classmate, still has a habit of coming in and out of my life more often than not as he pleases, whether it is to annoy me, to joke with me, insist on playing with me, comfort me, etc. Even though he is quite annoying I still feel that he is rather misunderstood by most people Irish people and Chinese. 

Irish people don’t get him because he is outspoken and sometimes his frankness comes across as rudeness. Once I went shopping with him for a new suit and he tried one on. Now most sensible Irish people who try on something in front of a sales assistant would never insult the clothes. They usually make some polite excuse like oh I will think about it and come back later. But on the contrary my former classmate just came straight out with the insults, the texture is to fluffy, the lining is too thin, the shape is not very good, and the insults kept coming… I felt embarrassed just sitting there listening. I’m surprised this manner is accepted in China, but it definitely isn’t the norm in Ireland not by a long shot. He was totally unaware that he was being rude, as far as he was concerned the shop is just there to serve him and he can say what he likes to who he likes. After we left the shop I gently told him he was too rude in the shop and Irish people never carry on like that. He seemed totally alarmed so I just let it be.

As far as his dealing with Chinese and Irish students people don’t take him seriously. You never know if he is joking, lying or telling the truth. I think I was the only person in the class who was able to get his humor. As I got to know him on a more personal level than most people. I was often able to ask him why he did what he did and so on… You just have to take him with a pinch of salt.

I hadn’t talked to him for the whole summer and then one day in November for the first time in 4 months I picked up the phone to him and he told me he had bought a house and a Mercedes! I was thinking I will believe it when I see it. But evidently sure enough I did get to see the house and the Mercedes.

Which leads to the burglary! Yesterday as I was heading into the city centre I got a call from him to say, His car has been stolen and his front door smashed! And he wants to me to meet him tommorrow probably not going to happen…..

Regardless of his behavior he didn’t deserve this…

Foolish

I can't think of a better way to describe it. Foolish The desire to do something completely wrong, When something sounds wrong, feels wrong,,,, It probably is wrong. But this morning i overrode my inner inhibitions that told me what I'm doing is wrong.... I shifted my weary ass out of bed at 8am peered out the window sure enough as clear as day... there he was parked outside in his Silver Mercedes waiting for me. I felt myself choke. with disappointment and shiver of excitement which pushed me to get up and dressed in the freezing cold and run outside and get into the Mercedes and drive off into the snow.... Yes once again the second time he drove to my house it was snowing albeit lightly this morning. I really think he brings the snow lol! 

Well as soon as i got in the car he said lets go to Powerscourt! I didn't know the directions exactly and felt a bit nervous. I thought we might get completely lost =.=;;;;; But luckily enough we were able to follow the bus trail :) although it turned out to be a bit of a circle... but he didn't get to mad at me... We arrived there at about 9.30 or so all the shops were closed.... except the cafe. Since we both hadn't had breakfast, We decided it would be best to get a bite to eat. We ordered 1 croissant, 1 scone, 1 fruit salad, 1 average salad... and we shared the pastries and i had the fruit salad. It was yummy. but expensive 16.00 luckily i didn't have to pay :) 

Then after breakfast we decided to go into the garden, But unfortunately nothing in life is free and we, well he had to pay 11 euro for 2 student tickets.... Last time i went to Powerscourt, one of my friends was working there and he let us in free :) Not lucky this time! We were the first people to enter the garden today... Personally i still think we were mental arriving so early.. Anyway both of us forgot to bring our camera so in the end we decided to take a photo with my phone (the Samsung Galaxy Europa)... surprisingly not as crappy as i was expecting.... In fact i like it a lot!

After our garden adventure we decided to head to Powerscourt waterfall. to get the full Powerscouurt feeling... The only feeling we felt after the Powerscourt waterfall was that the owners of Powerscourt must be incredibly wealthy! Everywhere you go you have to pay! another 4.50 each for the entry fee to the Powerscourt waterfall!!! Luckily the admission man was friendly and allowed us in by only paying for one ticket, You would think the first ticket we bought would include the full Powerscourt experience! So we left with a sour feeling in our mouth...

Then we had to decide what to do next I didn't particularly want to go straight back to Bray, I didn't want to run into my boyfriend as he absolutely totally dislikes all of my former male classmates especially the Chinese ones...Hes pretty much totally against me spending time bonding with them outside of the classroom. 

So i suggested we go to Glendalough i didn't think it would be too far away and i thought it would kill some time.... Anyway we didn't make it to Glendalough We drove for about 40 minutes without seeing a single signpost down all these winding country roads and finally we saw a sign post saying Glendalough was 5 miles back!! so we gave up and i ended up home at about 4.30, with a really bad headache @.@

I'd do anything....?

Chinese men are crazy @.@ at least the ones i know lol! I have one friend, well friend is to strong... Frenemy is better or simply nuisance who has attached himself to me, much to my boyfriend's displeasure. He is a former classmate so i feel i have to accommodate him in my life sometimes. Usually he tries to arrange to meet me in the most inconvenient of times. For example while I was in my new college he asked to meet me several times, on days when i didn't have college, but the thing was he wanted to collect me at my new college... at get this 8AM because that is the time my earliest class would start normally. Which made meeting him feel like a bit of a chore since i hate getting up at 6:45 to get into college for 8'oc. So anytime he tried to organize these sort of meet ups i always canceled because they were outrageous.

Other times he would ask me to meet up with him. i would accept then he would tell me can I make my own way to his house by bus. One bus wouldn't be too bad, but one bus and then a luas and then a walk just sounds totally undesirable and a waste of time. He is the one with a car he should drive to wherever i am, at a time that suits me and collect me at a reasonable time if he wants to see me, Right? Men so so lazy!!

But tomorrow is the limit! He rang me last night and asked am i free on Saturday, honestly, yes, meaning i want to have a lie in because i have no reason to get up early! He said great i will be at your house at 8AM on Saturday morning after i finish in the gym and we can go to the zoo! Mental!! absolutely mental! Just gets crazier and crazier. What a royal pain in the ass! What a sleepy head!

Funnily enough it reminds me of the Oliver Twist classic I'd do anything... Possibly one of the most romantic songs ever made,  My situation is the exact opposite!!! His song should be I'd do nothing for you!!

I'd do Anything Nothing

I'd do anything nothing for you dear

Leave me all your will?

Even fight my Bill?
What fisticuffs?

I'd risk everything for one kiss
everything
Yes I'd do anything nothing
Anything Nothing?
Anything Nothing for you

I'd do anything nothing for you dear
anything nothing
for you mean everything
to me

I know that
I'd go anywhere nowhere for your smile
anywhere nowhere
for your smile
everywhere I see

Would you lace my shoe?
anything nothing
Paint your face bright blue?
anything nothing
Catch a kangaroo?
anything nothing
Go to Timbuktu?
And back again

I'd risk everything for one kiss
everything nothing
Yes I'd do anything nothing
Anything Nothing?
Anything Nothing for you

I know that
I'd go anywhere nowhere for your smile
anywhere nowhere
for your smile
everywhere I see

I know that

Though your eyes go POP!

Anything

When you come down PLOP!
Hang everything

We'd risk life and limb
To keep you in the swim
Yes we'd do anything nothing
Anything?
anything nothing for you

Well hopefully i can persuade him to collect me a bit later.... as his plan for us were actually quite sweet he wanted to go to the zoo and i love the zoo :) and i can take a lot of photos there. But who knows perhaps something else will crop up and delay him.... Most of you reading this will probably think this guy is all talk and even if he said 8AM there is no way he would actually go there at time, but actually he is one of the most reliable and punctual persons i have ever met. If he says wait 3 minutes and i will be there he actually will be there. During the snowy weather we had in Ireland before Christmas both of my parents were unable to go to work because the snow was so bad around our house, He rang me at 10'oc that day and said what am i doing, obviously i was stuck at home because i hate walking on slippy icy snow.  He told me ok i will be there in 1 hour i want you to come to see my house and build a snow girl with me ^^ I didn't even bother getting ready to go out. I thought there's noway he would get here from Tallaght. but sure enough 11'oc on the dot i looked out the window and there he was parked outside!

Although he may be rather inconsiderate and likes to suit himself, He is one of the most reliable and punctual people i have ever met! Also he is an incredibly good chef. He can cook the most delicious food!
