So this is new adventure for you. Are you gonna miss Canada?
yash gupta:
14:00:52
I was talking to friends about coming back to canada for christmas.
yash gupta:
14:00:55
:)
yash gupta:
14:01:18
I didn't tell you about the adventures we had out in the snowstorm!
yash gupta:
14:01:25
or did I?
14:01:36
I don't think so
yash gupta:
14:03:29
okay, let me introduce the characters...
yash gupta:
14:04:21
one indonesian guy by the name Doni leemrijse. you can call him Donnie.
yash gupta:
14:04:38
and skinny Indian dude called Yash.
14:04:40
lol
14:04:49
SUPER LOL
yash gupta:
14:05:41
they are good friends, they help each other out, play squash together, go to BK, etc.
yash gupta:
14:06:53
so one friday evening, Doni calls up Yash and goes, "Hey, let's go to Toronto. I want to go to bestbuy to purchase an Xbox 360 and a HDTV."
yash gupta:
14:07:25
Yash says, "No man, there's a snowstorm outside."
yash gupta:
14:08:16
Doni says, "we just have to get in the bus, take the go train to Union, walk through the PATH to eaton center, get the stuff, and come back. No snow, No cold."
yash gupta:
14:08:29
"I'm not so sure about it." Yash says.
yash gupta:
14:08:52
Doni convinces him anyways.
yash gupta:
14:09:25
but a little while later, he calls Yash and goes, "Hey, I checked on the website, there are no more Xboxes in Toronto!"
yash gupta:
14:09:36
you see, it was almost christmas time.
14:10:21
lol
yash gupta:
14:10:24
"New plan!" he proposes.. "We take the 24 bus to missisauga and get it from the bestbuy on Winston Churchill. They have it in stock there!"
yash gupta:
14:12:19
Yash still not convinced, Doni bribes him with Sushi. "we can go to bestbuy, then eat sushi at the buffet restaurant. I'll pay for both of us." Yash unwittingly agrees. (no way he could resist Sushi!) They get dressed in their warmest winter attire and take the 24 bus, get to winston churchill, and begin their march towards bestbuy.
yash gupta:
14:13:48
As we knock our shoes on the mats inside best buy to get the snow off our shoes, I notice my jeans cuff has frozen stiff!
yash gupta:
14:14:05
well, it was a little amusing.
14:14:35
lol
yash gupta:
14:14:47
Doni as usual, takes forever to decide whether he wants to buy the xbox arcade or 'ultimate' or whatever it was.
yash gupta:
14:14:56
arcade vs ultimate
yash gupta:
14:15:15
using his iphone to compare and contrast the features/drawbacks..
yash gupta:
14:15:56
then he considers if he can stretch his budget to get a large LCD display...
yash gupta:
14:16:25
and after about an hour and a half or so.. as the weather has worsened..
yash gupta:
14:17:05
he finalizes his purchasse, and we walk out. Fuck that Xbox was heavy!
yash gupta:
14:17:15
and the box of the TV awkwardly wide!
yash gupta:
14:18:15
The distance from the bestbuy to the sushi restaurant, seemed 10 times as long while walking in knee deep snow with these boxes in our hands while dressed to look like pilsbury doughboy and Michellin tyre man!
yash gupta:
14:18:52
they stumble, pause, switch, many times over
14:19:15
lol
yash gupta:
14:20:15
constantly motivating each other. "Come on man, it's only less than a hundred thousand centimeters more!
yash gupta:
14:21:17
Realizing Doni was much slower, and Yash was more succeptible to the cold, he walked fast, walked ahead and got to the sushi restaurant first
14:21:19
lol
yash gupta:
14:21:47
he put the tv down, and remembered the promise he made to his friend, "I'll be back for you!"
yash gupta:
14:22:23
Yash took few deep breaths, wiped his nose and walked out oh so bravely!
yash gupta:
14:22:43
Reached Doni, and offered help. They had both almost made it!
yash gupta:
14:23:07
The walk of misery was over, and a warm soup and some delicious sushi awaited them
14:23:16
lol
yash gupta:
14:25:34
After eating their reward feast, they decided they will need the help of a majestic and heavy metal contraption capable of pushing forward through all this snow at great speed, driven by an Immigrant who most probably speaks broken english, while we both sit comfortably in the magically heated interior of the beast.
14:26:09
lol
14:26:14
exploiter!
yash gupta:
14:26:31
so they called a cab. Which would seem was the easy part.. but the wait on hold was getting more excruciating with each passing second!
yash gupta:
14:26:49
both tried different companies with their respecive cellphones.
yash gupta:
14:27:10
and when finally we got through, it was like god had answered our prayers
yash gupta:
14:27:17
...if there was a god at all!
yash gupta:
14:27:57
because the cab was here, and we had to walk out in the cold hell, carrying the boxes to the cab as it couldn't come any closer to the door because of the snow.
yash gupta:
14:28:53
and again, we were relieved.. though only momentarily! because after the cab got us to sheridan college, we had to drag our asses all the way to the res, and into Doni's room!
yash gupta:
14:29:22
did I mention i was christmas, and the res was as busy as a graveyard at midnight?
14:29:52
What!
14:29:59
lol
yash gupta:
14:30:21
Yash actually dragged the tv box on the floor with the last bit of energy he had.
yash gupta:
14:31:17
and then, when it was time to open the boxes and install it, suddenly, they were as ecited and refreshed as kids on chistmas morning!
yash gupta:
14:31:28
such a happy moment!
yash gupta:
14:31:35
RUINED!
yash gupta:
14:31:51
by the traitor who said "Yash you can't be here in the res man."
yash gupta:
14:32:01
"FUCK!"
yash gupta:
14:32:13
the end.
yash gupta:
14:32:37
gotta go now.
