Man, I just woke up from a nap earlier tonight. The nap was well worth it especially after what I had gone through. This morning, as I was getting to work, the TTC subway station between Bloor and Union was not in service due to an injury along the subway line. I can only guess that someone has tried to jump off the railway tracks again. That has caused a great delay for me to get to work. Luckily, I had decided to transfer to the westbound train to St. George station and head back southbound from there. I bumped into a drinking buddy of mine and I guided him to a shortcut for him to get to work. Then I got a call from him later in the afternoon. I had been told that the subways were not working from Bloor to Eglinton. So I had to either take a shuttle bus to Eglinton Station or transfer eastbound to Pape station and take the bus to Don Mills station. I chose the latter. And guess how long that ride took me? Normally, it would take less than 15 minutes to travel between Bloor and Eglinton station. However, it took a duration of two hours for the whole ride. Thankfully, the subway ride that came afterwards went by pretty quickly. The Cummer bus came quickly as well and I was able to grab a good seat.
Just checked TTC official website and they say there is no disruption on the subway line. So I guess it should be good by now.

Lemme describe the scenario as best as I can. So I was basically walking along Yonge & College Street to pick up a package. This is where they filmed a big portion of that Edward Norton flick "The Incredible Hulk". Yes, this means I have to walk past the Zanzibar (which, to many Torontonians, is well known as a strip joint.). Some creep kept bugging bypassers for some change and cigarettes. I tried to zip through the place as fast as I can but he managed to stop me and bug me for some change. So this guy tells me that he is horny and wants to go to the Zanzibar for some good time. Now, I was in a huge hurry and I really had to get going. Dude puts his arms around my shoulders and starts talking about how times are tough and yadda yadda yadda. (Yeah, I know. I wasn't listening.) So I let him talk and finish this as quickly as possible. As soon as he removed his arms, I immediately cut him off and I just ran like hell. And for further safety measures, I decided to walk across the street as I was heading back to Yonge & Queen.
Normally, I would never walk around that part of town. But I didn't have a TTC Metropass so I didn't have that option. It just gets so irritating when some bum keeps intruding your time. They oughta get a life! Seriously!

Remember when I moaned about how my first kiss was taken by this 4 year old girl at a church summer camp? I looked through some old childhood mementos and it had just occurred to me that this was not my first kiss. Y'see, once upon a time when I was just 3 years old, my father had sponsored a concert for this Hong Kong popstar. I had the opportunity to go up on the stage with this lady to receive her autographed vinyl record. My memory may be vague but I still remember it happening before. I remember going up on stage for the autograph as planned. But then, I remember being kissed in the lips by her as well. I don't know how many of you remember her but she was pretty popular back in the 80s. Her name was Kitman Mak. She may have disappeared away from the spotlight but her name is still around these days (and often as Aaron Kwok's personal vocal coach). Read the credits in Aaron Kwok's albums, her name is always credited.
After reminiscing on this, I can only say this to myself.
"Wow! What a relief!!!"
