A-Town Girls Pose

I took this photo of Elaine and willie on friday.

A lot has happened these last few days. I had taken friday off in an attempt to find a place to live in waterloo. Ryan was driving up with daniel to go pick up nelson so I bummed a ride from him. When we got to waterloo I quickly called elaine and willie and made them rush home from the mall so that I could see them. After calling them we walked over to Derek's place and relaxed there for a bit. AFter learning they had exams in a little bit we left to go get some food.

We decided to get some pizza at the local pizza pizza. Nothing of interest really happened. The pizza was okay.

After pizza we went and checked out Joanna and Amy's place. It wasn't anything that special. They seem to live like bums. There rooms were very messy. Surprising as this may sound, but Joanna's room was actually messy. Even my res room wasn't that bad. I was in shock.

After examining the place ryan had demanded to eat some eggs, so joanna started making some. Ryan ridiculed joanna's egg making skills from the moment she started till the moment ryan finished eating them. It was very very funny. Joanna was very defensive about her cooking. She even lashed out and said I couldn't cook. Cut me deep.

After eating I got a call from Elaine and willie saying they were at Willie's res so we all headed out. I went to visit Willie and Elaine while the others went to MKV to play some pool. Willie's res looked quite nice. I didn't see a room but the outside seemed nice. They started off by giving me 3 kinder surprises which was very surprising. We sat down in the common room, ate some chocolate, built some toys and talked. Update: While eating and making toys they told me I had to use their mail in rebate from the Kinder surprise and buy Cars. I was planning on buying the DVD soon anyways so I put the coupon in my wallet. However upon reading it I found that I need the receipt from the pack of kinder eggs which is long gone. So I won't be able to save my $5. From time to time willie and elaine would start their secret conversations which was just a lot of whispering, staring and laughing. After receiving so many complaints about not having any photos of either of them I took a bunch of photos of them smiling or doing silly poses. Update: During a lot of the photo taking elaine kept asking me all sorts of weird questions about why I couldn't get photos of her making weird faces. She would bring up weird scenarios involving national geographic like what would happen if there was something right in front of me and I needed to take a photo of it. She complained that I was switching lenses too much and that if I worked for national geographic I wouldn't have time to switch lenses. Also after taking a lot of photos Elaine and willie said that I wasn't taking pictures from the right side so we all got up and switched couches. This way I could get the side with Elaine and willie's bangs at the same time. After taking a lot of photos it was time for me to head out. They both walked me to the door where we took a few more photos (the one pictured above was as I was leaving).

The ride back was VERY long. There was a CRAZY accident and all 4 lanes on the highway were shut down. We were crawling on the highway for about 3 hours before we passed the accident. Ryan had to drive on the shoulder lane twice. It was very nice to be home.

Today started off as a dull day. After lunch it picked up when I had gone to pacific mall with felix. Felix has a very nice car. Its a simple civic on the outside but he has done a fair number of modifications to make it very nice. The car is RIDICULOUSLY loud and surprisingly fast. It was scary and at the same time a very cool sitting in the passenger seat. At pmall I just bought some DVD-rs and hello pandas. We walked around for a bit and talked then headed home. He said he was going to put a new engine and change up the transmission in the car. When that happens I can't wait to see how fast he will be going. Hopefully not fast enough to kill himself.

After pmall I went online and discussed what we would have for dinner. After much arguing we ended up going to all you can eat sushi at midland and finch. The sushi there was okay at best. The salmon sushi was TOO damn cold. You can feel that it is frozen which was pretty damn bad.

After dinner we came back to my house with the intention to play settlers of catan. We didn't but instead just talked for a long time. It is always nice having talks into the night. Now I must get some good sleep then wake up and watch the prestige!

Happy Birthday Cheryl!!!

Happy Birthday Cheryl! I took this photo when I had gone to lunch with cheryl and shawn. We went to the woodside pho. It brought back great memories.

Today was a great day. Around 9 o'clock Philip Kevin Kings Redford Courey and I went to Timmy's to just sit around and talk. It was wicked. Lots of great stories flying around. Kevin was constantly under attack which was also funny to see.

Don't forget to check out my flickr.

ANGRY!!!!!

UPDATE:

I have added new photos to my flickr.

I took this photo of Kevin during the CIBC run for the cure. I love this photo because Kevin looks so angry.

Too tired to make a full post. I am still working on a new layout for a site. I am off to a good start. The site is up but I need to make a layout and.

A few things worth mentioning. One, Cranium is a great game. Two, We must play settlers. Three, I still don't like work. Four, Lost is wicked. Five, I need to figure out my timetable. Six, We need to watch The Prestige. Seven, I will make a small post tomorrow.

Sexy Black Man

Justin on the beach. Not much else to say about that.

I will keep this post short and brief.

So far Kevin Shawn and Justin have agreed to join me in the CIBC run for the cure. If you want to join just go here and sign up. If you are under 18 the registration fee is waived or if you collect some amount of money (not sure how much) it will be waived. Then when you want to join a team enter my last name, sivaranjan, or search by team name. Our team name is Superfriends (from the simpsons). A bulk of this run will be done walking so it won't be some strenuous exercise. So come out and help a good cause.

Walking out of the water

I took this photo at the beach. This was right before we left. Cheryl convinced ian andrew and justin to run into the water with her. It was quite stupid, also justin tripped while running in.

Nothing much has been happening at work these last few days. Pretty much the same stuff I did last year except less. I don't have administrative passwords to the computers so when I need to set up a new computer I have to keep calling over my coworker to type in the password. I don't have access to the helpdesk emails so I can only help people who phone in. Work is pretty much just as boring as it was last year. Mind you its nice working with my coworkers. They are all quite funny so its not a big deal, but it would be nice to have some challenges. Most of the problems I deal with aren't that hard. Some of the more complicated ones involve using software I have never used or access to certain components I don't have access too.

Hopefully tomorrow will be more interesting.

So tired!

That is a fun roller coaster. I wish my life was as fun as a roller coaster. I have just started working again and it is quite tiring. Once again the days seem quite boring. The work is pretty much the same except takes twice as long because I have to bother my coworkers for passwords and what not. Hopefully the work will pick up. The company is going through some big changes so it should be interesting. All in all studying in university rapes working. I miss math. I miss cs. I miss uni! 83 days to go =(

Hopefully I will get a real post going sometime this week

Cheryl lying down

I took this photo of cheryl at the beach. Cheryl was trying to even out her terrible tan but failed greatly. We weren't at the beach long enough to do anything. She went to the beach in two shades of colour, left in 4.

As always I love taking gaps between my posts. Nothing that crazy has happened over this last week. Much of the week was spent playing volleyball and occasionally eating out. We had went to Maid cafe for a meal again and it was quite nice. We also went to this crappy noodle place kevin mentioned to us, the grotto. It was TERRIBLE! The service was terrible and it was expensive. Kevin has lost all credibility now.

The main reason for this post was because I went karaokeing. It started off with me edward and louise. The first chunk of songs were all sung by jay chou so it was louise singing like a pro and me and edward filling in simple words where we could. Louise knew how to read the kanji, but edward couldn't so he would only sing like portions to 3 jay chou songs. For the jay chou songs I didn't know what I was saying I just said whatever I thought sounded right. After a while it was me and edward singing various english songs. I was terrible at singing. I can't hit any high notes and some of the songs we picked were quite high. Regardless it was very fun. Jessica eventually joined us and she picked a bunch of random songs which she could barely sing. All in all karaoke was awesome. I must train hard and master some jay chou songs before I go again. Singing english songs isn't as fun as struggling to sing a jay chou song or some song in another language. If only they had more jap songs I had heard of, that probably would have been easier.

Waterfall

This photo was taken when I had gone to wonderland with cheryl last week.

Another break between posts as always. These last few days have been quite busy. I currently have no recollection of what transpired friday or saturday. Friday I think the guys watched Sympathy for Lady Vengeance at my house. It was by the guy who had made Oldboy so I imagined it would be crazy. Sadly it wasn't. They were all quite unimpressed with the movie. I wasn't really watching the movie because I was talking to my cousin Abi who had come to toronto for a wedding.

Saturday nothing really happened for most of the day. At night people came by and we watched lucky number slevin which was an awesome movie. Justins Xbox was crapping out towards the end so we had to switch to my iBook to finish up the movie. The movie was great. Everyone who was watching it enjoyed it I think, except justin because he is a scrub and went to sleep.

Sunday my family had a big get together for my cousin who was visiting us. It was great just seeing all my cousins again and talking away. Somewhere in the middle of this I attempted to help Elaine in math but not sure how helpful I really was. For dinner we all went out to a wings place and talked and joked around. One of my brothers friends tried the Armageddon wings at this place and was very unimpressed. I was shocked! I am very curious to see if he can handle the Armageddon wings at All Star wings now.

After eating a bunch of wings we went across the street and got this ice cream thingy called gelato's. We continued to sit around and talk. Abi would tell all sorts of dodgy stories about what my brothers were doing in Japan, then my brothers would quickly start talking about his dodgy behavior, and it would just go back and fourth. Once the gelato's were finished everyone headed home.

Yesterday was also a very quiet day. Most of it was spent at home. I had my annual physical and it went by okay. Over the course of a full year I gained a full pound. I'm at 102 now I think. Everything else is fine, I just need to get my blood work done tomorrow. That is the thing I am really scared about. I'm certain my waterloo diet has probably crippled me. Even though I don't eat very healthy when I'm at home, I'm certain its better then eating the crap I eat at waterloo. ,p>After the physical I went to play some volleyball with the guys. It was pretty fun. I am still quite bad at volleyball though. I need a lot more practice. I also need to learn how to volley and bum properly. After a few games of volleyball Justin Philip and I headed home. Justin and I watched a bit of tv at my house before heading to STC to return a game. I was shocked that EB would buy his lost magic for $12 and sell it for $32. That is unbelievable. I was damn angry.

At night justin picked up shawn and we met up with wilson and KD and watched Snakes on a plane. The movie was stupid, as I anticipated, but it was fun to laugh at though. Kevin and I were cracking jokes for a good chunk of the movie.

After the movie we went to Timmy's and just talked for a little bit then headed home. Now I anxiously await to see what will happen today. Simon wanted to go downtown but I had no bus money. As much as I hate working, it was nice having money in my wallet.

Victory Pose

This photo makes more sense if you have seen this one. This photo was actually taken before the one I posted yesterday. Justin mentioned that it would look cool if you saw the photo of the fight then of the victor. So I thought it would be nice to post the photos in that order.

.Today was a very quiet day again. I spent much of the morning watching One Piece which is a great anime indeed. Chopper is finally doing something useful which makes me happy.

After a lot of One piece Jessica and simon came by and we played lots of Soul Calibur 3. Simon was a little sad because a lot of the characters he usually uses lost a lot of their moves. The game would usually be simon beats whoever he plays then me and jess would win alternatively. I am still in between the level of noob and scrub.

Simon and Jess left around 6:30ish. I went online to look for random anime to download then just sat down and watched a bit of Kare Kano for a bit then talked to people for a while. Once 10 o'clock hit I headed out to KBBQ with Jamil, Nis and Shawn. It was nice to see them again after such a long time. The conversations we had at dinner were pretty much the same random crap we talked about in high school and on our long walks home. Also it was KBBQ so the dinner was superb! I haven't had KBBQ in a long time.

After a long dinner we drove around a bit with shawn then talked in the car till around midnight. After that shawn had to head home to get some sleep for a long day of work tomorrow so we all headed home. And thus ended another great relaxing day. Tomorrow is finally friday so hopefully it will be interesting. Perhaps people will watch Lucky number Slevin.

Good Triumphs Over Evil

I took this photo when I had gone to the beach with a bunch of people. The next few photos will probably be from stuff that happened at the beach. Justin will most likely be very angry because I made him evil.

Currently I have no idea what I had done on Monday. Perhaps I will figure it out later on in the post. Yesterday was a pretty quiet day. I spent a bulk of the day watching anime. Towards the end of the day we all got together and went to Ryans house....I think. We played some gamecube and talked for quite some time. We then headed out to Destiny and got some good bubble tea and talked some more. It was a great day.

Today was also a pretty relaxing day. I spent most of the morning watching One Piece. The characters are all so funny. My favourite character next to Luffy is probably Tony Tony Chopper.

After a chunk of anime I went out and played some volleyball with the guys. It is shocking how bad I am at volleyball. It was still pretty fun to play. but bumping the ball hurts too much. I also played a bit of tennis with ryan. I suck at tennis also but I enjoy running around. It sort of made me want to play badminton again, but I have no one to play with and no where to play. I also don't have a racquet.

After volleyball we all went home and nothing really materialized. Justin came down but it got too late and we didn't really end up going anywhere, so justin just left at around 10ish. However on his way home something darted in front of his car and he had to swerve out of the way to dodge it. This resulted in him hitting the curb and getting a flat tire. So the next hour and a bit was spent trying to replace this mans tire. Luckily our neighbourhood hero Nelson came to the rescue and helped us get the tire off. My dad was also outside for a bit making sure we didn't crush ourselves and whatnot. After a lot of effort we managed to get that damn flat tire off and then quickly put the new tire back on.

Now I am going to watch a bit more anime then head to bed. hopefully tomorrow will be more promising.

A hungry black man

I took this photo of justin when we had gone to pho once. I doubt Justin was actually hungry, but I wanted a a funny title

A lot has happened since my last post on tuesday. I shall start with Wednesday nothing had happened, it was pretty much laid back studying for Calculus on thursday. Calc was a pretty okay exam. I have yet to get my mark back for it but I think I did okay. It was the greatest moment leaving that exam. I was soooooo happy. I love waterloo and I love lectures, but I hate writing exams. Too much pressure and too much studying.

After the exam Simon and his friend kyle came to our suite after their physics exam. They talked about their exam for a bit and Kyle (Simon's friend) and I played a game of chess. Kyle is a pro chess player. He was Hamilton regional champion and I believe he destroys everyone in the waterloo chess club. So Simon had mentioned to me that he could be me blind folded. I did not believe simon so I told simon to send out a challenge. After their physics exam Kyle and I had our chess game. Kyle covered his eyes with one of my clean t-shirts and totally rocked me in chess. He would start correcting me on my moves and informing me of possible places I could go. Even though it was a horrible loss it was a great game, a game I shall never forget.

After the chess game Simon and I got some food at Mels then walked to V1 to return an ethernet cable. It was a damn long walk. V1 is too fucking far, stupid ass resnet!.

When we got back we did some hardcore cleaning then pretty much watched anime till simons dad came and picked us up. Once we got back to scarborough we called a few people up and went out to Lemon grass for dinner.

Lemon grass was quite nice as always. It was also nice seeing various people again. After a nice meal we walked next door to Destiny and sat and drank some good bubble tea. Jessica told me to try Green Apple, and it wasn't that bad. I still think banana is the better though. After Destiny we went outside and talked a bit outside for a while then everyone went home. It was a great day indeed.

Friday I had gone to yorkdale and wonderland with cheryl. We first stopped off at yorkdale so Cheryl could buy a yellow sweater. There isn't much to say about wonderland, we went on a few rides then went back to yorkdale so cheryl could do more shopping.

This women did some intense shopping. I was almost passing out towards the end of the day, but I managed to stay somewhat strong. After a long bus ride home I met up with the guys and we got together at my house and talked. I can't remember what else we did, but I'm certain we did something.

Saturday started off as a day of board games. My cousins came over and we played a game of settlers. Afterwards I went to Pacific mall and bought some hello panda's and did some simple wandering around with some of the guys. After walking around pmall we all decided to check out the "I Maid Cafe". That cafe was awesome. It was hilarious. Jessica looked like she was sick just sitting there but it was quite fun. Before we entered we see a women wearing a maid costume smoking. Probably one of the greatest sights I have ever seen. It was a damn shame I didn't have my camera.

The cafe was also pretty nice. It is much better then the crappy pho place that was there before it. Not sure if this cafe will last though. It did have some other customers and I doubt there are other maid cafes in toronto.

After we finished relaxing at the cafe everyone went home for dinner then came back later to play poker. I sat around and watched on people play or I played some good old xbox. It was a very fun filled day indeed.

Finally caught up to today. Today was a pretty quiet day as well. It started off with me cheryl and justin going to Ash bridge beach. It was a very nice beach. We quickly met up with amy and the twins and basically sat around and talked for a little bit. We played with the sand a lot and also took a bunch of photos. I can't wait to get them developed tomorrow.

After the beach I met the guys again and we went to Tim hortons and talked for a bit. We bumped into some grade 12's while we were sitting around and talking. It was quite strange because they were all dressed up. At first I thought they were coming from formal but then I realized formal was like 2 months ago. I later learned they were coming from some sort of party.

After Timmy's we went back to my house to watch a movie except the movie didn't work. Instead we talked till around 1:15 and then everyone went home.

Long posts are too hard to write. I am certain this post is littered with grammar errors. I really need to get into a blog posting mood. I miss those days when I would do daily posts. I wonder if by making a new blog and starting fresh I would have more incentive. Only time shall tell.

Proud Firemen

Another photo from the gay pride parade. The pride parade was quite a fun event. Its always nice seeing a lot of people out supporting an event.

2 days. 2 days and I will be free from waterloo. I have started my calc review and seems to be going by okay. I just need more practice with Taylor series and Taylor polynomials and I should be okay.

Yesterday was a pretty fun day. Amy Ian and Andrew came by and we all went to MKV to play some various games. First was foosball. It was Amy and I against Andrew and Ian. We were totally demolished. Amy couldn't finish and I was terrible at D. After a terrible game of jitz we moved onto Ping Pong. Ping pong was a little better. Amy was still struggling a little in that also though, so we ended up losing again. Mind you I wasn't much better either. We played ping pong for a while until we noticed the pool table was free. Pool was a lot better. Amy and I were on par with Andrew and Ian. We didn't win any games I think but we came really close. I am not too familiar with the rules of Pool, but supposedly Amy and I had won two games because the twins had scratched when going for the black ball (they missed it). For some reason I didn't think that would constitute a win, so we usually just kept playing till someone sunk the 8-ball, and it was usually the twins who sunk it. Anyways after a lot of pool we all went to Kelseys for dinner

Dinner was pretty good. The appetizers were awesome. We had chicken wings, calamari and bruschetta. I didn't really eat and bruschetta, but the calamari was damn good. If I ever go to Kelseys I will be sure to simply order calamari. The mains at Kelseys are not worth it. Once dinner was over we came back, sat around and talked for a bit then they left for home.

Today was a pretty quiet day. Most of it was spent at home playing games, watching anime and studying. Tomorrow will probably involve rigorous amounts of cramming for calc. Now I must get back to calc. I still have yet to touch up on the one thing that truly worries me....rotational volumes. But I still love calc though, it is a great course. Only course that comes close to it is classical algebra. And for anyone interested here is a link to a cool sounding number, beast number.

Can't hide

This is the second photo of Kevin I had taken when we were at Tim Hortons after Sean's party. He was always trying to hide from the camera. People are making it harder and harder for me to take photos

Today was a pretty dull day. My parents came up today which was nice. I hadn't seen them in a while. We did a lot of packing. Most of the stuff I have left in waterloo is either going to be thrown away by thursday or will be crammed in a bag and taken back to toronto. I can't wait for thursday. It will be a glorious day.

After we finished packing we went and got some mcdonalds which was nice. I haven't had McDano's in a long time. After lunch my parents left and I just continued reading manga and playing video games well into the night.

I must take more photos in Black and white. For some reason I feel my black and white photos tend to come out the best. Not sure why, but I think black and white is excellent for taking individual portrait shots. Below is a quick collage of random black and white photos I liked. If I was better at Flash or javascript I could have attempted to animate this but clearly I won't be doing that anytime soon.

Saturday, August 5, 2006

Focus!

I took this photo of wilson playing DS lite at my house. Not sure what game we were playing though. My guess would be Mario kart of Big Brain Academy.

Today was a pretty uneventful day. I had my CS exam which I think went by okay. A lot more multiple choice then I would have liked though. More then 1/2 the exam was multiple choice, not much block coding. For some I imagine that would be a lot easier though, but I suck at multiple choice.

After the exam I pretty much stayed home and caught up in some manga, and played some games. Tomorrow my parents come up to take some stuff down which will be nice. I haven't seen them in a long time so it should be fun. I think we are going out for lunch which will be weird because I can't ever recall going out to lunch with my parents. I don't even know what sorts of food they would want to eat for lunch, other then tamil food of course. Well tomorrow should hopefully be an eventful day. Now I must get back to reading some Tenjou Tenge manga. Expect a post tomorrow, I'm in a daily post kinda mood. Perhaps this month will be a full month of posts. Though I may run out of photos fairly quickly.

A little tipsy

I took this photo at my house when people had done some light drinking. I can't really remember when this photo was taken but I think someone it was for jimmy and ryans drinking contest. This photo was taken after someone shot off the top of a water bottle cap and Vanessa was mesmerized or something by it.

Today has been a pretty quiet day. I got lunch with simon at Subway. Afterwards came back here and watched a bit of "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi". The anime is quite good. I can't wait to finish it.

Once the episode was over I talked to jimmy, edward and adrian on vent. It was quite funny because I had my speakers plugged in and tried talking to them. So my speakers were creating crazy resonance and I wasn't quite sure what was going on so all I could hear was jimmy and edward screaming "KRISHNA STOP TALKING!". I couldn't quite hear them but luckily simon understood what was going on and pulled my hand off the talk button. After a bit of fiddling around we got it working and it was all good. Vent is a pretty nice program. Its a shame I have absolutely no use for it though.

I have recently put all my blog photos onto picasa, googles photo sharing service. So for those that are interested the link is here. The only reason I bothered doing this was because they recently released a program to let mac users mass upload photos so I thought it would be nice to check out. It is pretty nice. I think I prefer flickr though. Even though I don't really use my flickr it is still a nice way to share photos.

Hopefully CS won't cripple me tomorrow. I am going in with a 74 I think which is quite sad. Last term for CS133 I was going in with at least a 95, that course was damn easy though. CS134 is quite hard in comparison. The marking on assignments was a little strict. I feel bad for students who aren't in CS and have to take this course. I imagine a bulk of them may be hovering a pass. I will most likely do some more studying into the night then get some good sleep. I hate morning exams.

A sea of people

There were a lot of people at the Pride Parade. We had walked down quite a long way before finding this opening. It was really good to see so many people out there supporting this event.

Well I still really haven't done much with this blog. I have changed a few things. Hopefully I can figure out a better way to display the archives, I really don't like the numeric format, I preferred the months. Also I will hopefully add a bit more crap to the left and right hand side so that there won't be a lot of white space. Once the work term starts I will most likely start on a new site. Hopefully this term I can actually sit down and learn something instead of just wasting away for 4 months.

Exams are going by okay. CS is on saturday which I hope won't be that hard. My assignment average is pretty pathetic so hopefully I can make it up on the exam. I thought algeo would be the only exam to worry about but for some reason I feel CS will be intense. The assignments were all very crazy which makes me scared

Aside from worrying about exams I also need to find a place to live. I will probably look at a few places before leaving next week. However that probably won't give me a good selection of places so I will most likely find myself coming back up to waterloo during the fall term to look for housing.

I can't wait to finish these exams. It will be nice to enjoy the last bit of summer with friends. Coming down every weekend isn't sufficient. Also the food here is starting to get pretty lame. I find myself walking 15-20 minutes to a quiznos for a sub. And also the best part about going home will be AC. No more sweating while sitting down in my room. Well back to studying for me

Elaine at Timmy's

I took this photo a while ago. This was when we had gone to Tim Hortons after Seans party.

This post is just to see how the new layout looks. This layout was stolen from my brothers blog. He made it for Shima's brother and I thought it looked quite nice. I couldn't seem to find his blog online anymore so I imagined it wasn't in use. If it turns out to still be alive somewhere this layout will probably change once again.

If there is anything that I should change please tell me because it is currently exactly the way my brother left it. I will hopefully be able to change the banner sometime in the near future.

Update:

Well the person who this layout was made for isn't using it so it should be okay for me to use it. Hopefully if my brother doesn't mind I will leave this layout here and leave this as a blog and perhaps make a new site which will be more of a photoblog.

Update 2:

Archives are finally working. The formatting for them is damn ugly though. The next step is to figure out how to change the way it displays the names of the months. After that I will need to add some stuff to the left and right so that the blog isn't super white

Wednesday, July 12, 2006

Closed indefinitely

Whenever I look at this site it just screams ugly. I will attempt to recreate it over the work term, perhaps something that is more like a photoblog. For the time being though don't expect any new posts.

I only see 3 people in this photo

I took this photo while at the pride parade. The photo is great because you can easily see Andrew Justin Ian but if you look along the bottom you can see the top portion of amy's head.

Last week was a pretty normal week of school. The weekend was quite interesting though

Friday I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 which was quite a good movie. I was confused from time to time throughout the movie because I couldn't really understand exactly what they were saying. Aside from that though the movie was still very good.

After the movie people came over and we played some DS lite and talked for awhile. The next day was spent helping kings downtown handing out flyers for his new site/company thingy called cr8tive. The art exhibition was pretty interesting. I am quite bad at talking to people so I was doing a pretty lame job handing out flyers, but I still managed to hand out quite a few. It was really cool to see all the interesting things people make. I found a lot of the glass art to be incredible.

After handing out a bunch of flyers I went back up to Scarborough to go to my aunts dinner. It was nice seeing everyone again, also the food was great. It was also really fun talking to my uncle. Overall a very great dinner.

After the dinner people came by my house and we played Big Brain Academy and talked well into the night. It was very fun. 5 hours later I would wake up and find myself in Waterloo. Now I must start working on various assignments and projects

A proud Asian

I took this photo at the pride parade. I forgot what these group of people called themselves. The pride parade was excellent. I will probably post a few more photos as the days go on.

Friday was a pretty laid back day. People came over and played some poker and ds lite. Poker was quite intense. Jimmy was struggling but came back and won it all. It was quite funny to see him play.

As always playing DS was wicked because everyone is so focussed. Me and kevin had a big brain academy battle going. I demolished him twice in a row. I even took him out in his greatest game, sound bites.

Saturday I saw superman returns, and that movie was wicked. A lot of people didn't seem to like it, but I felt it was excellent. I can't describe how much I liked it with words.

After superman it was off to Adrians house for a bbq. The bbq was quite nice. Joanna fully demolished me and the twins in Naruto 3. It was quite sad. I was shocked and appalled at how well this women played Naruto. Eventually more people came and we moved to playing DS lite a bit. I felt a little better playing the lite because I actually did well in the games.

But once again we got weary of this and then me jo amy moved on and watched Saw in adrians room. I was certain jo being a scaredy cat would stop watching midway but she powered through and finished the movie. The movie isn't scary but still surprising to see Jo finish it. She didn't get past 5 minutes the last time she tried to watch it.

After Saw jo went home and I went back downstairs and played some good old DS lite again. We continued to play well into the night and then headed home around 3.

Sunday was a very relaxed day. I played a bit of soccer with philip and kings. We just kicked the ball around in the park. Even though it wasn't anything fancy it was still wicked.

After soccer I went and grabbed some dinner with Ryan justin and jimmy. We went to McDano's and saw Nelson working hard. After dinner ryan dropped us off at my house then headed home. We waited at my house for a bit then at around 11 headed to Destiny for some bubble tea. A lot of people went to Destiny which was quite fun. It was a shame they had to split us into two tables. I was sitting with Sean Justin Simon Elaine Ryan Jessica. We all sat around, talked a bit, drank our bubble teas, and played some simple games. Elaine taught me this weird camp game and I totally destroyed her in it. It was very funny seeing her go into deep thought before certain moves.

After destiny we went back to my house for a little bit and then everyone went home.

Monday was a very quiet day. I was suppose to get breakfest with elaine but I was too tired and just slept till lunchtime. After lunch though Elaine and I went to woodside because she had to get some bus tickets and drop off a letter at the post office. Once we finished this we walked to Mcdano's to see if nelson was working. Luckily he was, so we watched him work for a bit and hoped that the line would be small so that we could go up and ask for a smile. He was very busy though so after a little bit we just got up and left and went back to my place.

When we got home elaine played Big brain academy. She was doing fairly well in most of the games. She beat some of my records which I found quite impressive. Also in one of the math games she would start shouting out the answers and I would be like "WTF are you talking about" and punch in my answer, only to see its wrong.

After she finished a few tests it was time for me to go so I said bye to elaine and headed back up to waterloo. Now I must finish my algeo assignment which is due tomorrow. God I hate algeo

Philip enjoying an Ice Cap

I took this photo when we had gone to tim hortons after Sean's birthday party. That was a great night.

These last few days haven't been anything that special. I got my conflict resolutions mark though. Didn't do that great but that course was damn annoying though. I finished with a 74 I think. Hopefully I can do well in jap to pull this mark up. Even though I had just gotten back my jap midterm and received a 70 on it. I still think I can finish with an 80 in the course though. I should be able to do well in the final.

In other news Algeo officially makes no sense. The course is far too abstract for my likings. I will probably be living in the math tutorial centre soon asking the tutors for help in algeo. Calc is still good though. It not nearly as complex as algeo. CS is also not that bad. We have finished up Binary trees and are moving into different types of data storage. Cs is wicked, if only the prof wasn't so crappy.

Well now its time to do some intense calc then lost magic and sudoku squares into the night!

EDDU!!!

I don't think I have posted a photo of eddu in a while. I usually have so many great photos of Edward, like this one.

Thursday I got back my CS midterm and I did okay I guess. My mark was 81. I lost a few marks on stupid crap, I need to be more careful.

After CS I went home and helped Shawn do some final packing then headed with him back up to toronto. One of my Friday lectures was cancelled so I didn't want to stay for just a one hour lecture. So I decided I earned a 4 day weekend. I was skeptical about leaving simon alone, towards the end of the week it looked like he was going crazy. Luckily though he survived the weekend and when I saw him today he is in fine health.

Thursday night involved getting dinner at BK then intense day of DS lite at my house. Kevin had recently bought a DS lite so it was quite fun. If I remember correctly we played a lot of big brain academy and mario mini games.

Friday was a great day as well, I got to sleep in later then usual and also got around to playing a lot of Lost Magic. Justin lent me this game and its quite fun. You basically are a mage and when you cast spells you draw out the seals on the DS touch screen. The better the seal looks the stronger the spell is. The game is quite fun but can get crazy difficult at times.

Later on in the day I went and saw Tokyo drift with cheryl. The movie wasn't as lame as I thought it would be. The main character had a terrible TERRIBLE voice. Like it was just god awful. He would talk sometimes and I would be laughing. The drifts were pretty cool though. This one was probably more enjoyable then the first one.

After the movie people came back to my place for poker and DS lite. A bunch of people were playing Mario kart for a few hours. I was helping Elaine in Math. I was trying to at least but we stopped fairly quickly. We didn't really cover too many sections.

Saturday I finally got my hair cut. After that I pretty much stayed home till around 7 or 8 and then I went to visit Philip because his sister had recently gotten a macbook. The computer was a thing of beauty. I installed a few programs and taught her some simple things about the macbook. After an hour or so I headed back home and went to kbbq.

Kbbq was great. We had to wait a while for a table but it wasn't that bad. I am slowly preparing for the bet I have lined up with Elaine.

After kbbq we went back to my house for more poker and more nintendo ds lite. We were all playing mario kart and then later big brain academy. Big brain academy was awesome. It was quite funny seeing how fast some people were at these mini games.

Today was mainly just the pride parade. It was my first time going and it was actually a really interesting event. It was great to see so many people show up to the event. It was also quite funny. Everyone is smiling, lots of crazy gay people. It was a little shocking to see some things but still very cool at the same time. I took quite a few photos, hopefully they will all turn out.

Now time to play some Lost magic and watch anime.

Butter on a plate

I took this photo when we went to Le Biftheque for Daniel's birthday. The place was too dark to take photos of anyone so this one was one of the few photos I had taken.

Last weekend was a pretty average weekend. I saw Cars which I found to be a great movie. Pixar never really lets me down. Some parts were a tad boring but it was still very funny. I have to say though its no incredibles, but still a great movie.

I also got around to watching Nacho Libre last weekend. Jack Black is hilarious. The movie had almost no point, very strange at times but still quite enjoyable. Jack black has some very memorable lines in the movie. A few of the songs in the movie were also quite nice, I am currently in the process of trying to find them.

Beyond those two movies the weekend was pretty laid back. I saw a lot of people which is always nice. I also got to face Justin and Sean in some Mario games. I even got to play tetris online which was wicked!

In other news Summerlicious is coming up and it would be great to go this year. If anyone is interested in attending this year please drop me a message. A few people are already going, but the more the merrier.

Must...hide...

Kevin always seems to hide whenever I take a photo of him. I think a lot of people are doing that now. It simply gives me more reason to take a photo of that person. I took this photo after we left Sean's party to get some tim hortons.

This last week hasn't been anything too exciting. I had a calc midterm on monday which I think I did okay on. Still not too sure though actually. I got back my algeo midterm from last week. I got 77 which is okay I guess but still not that great. I could do the problems pretty much but I just didn't understand the theory enough to explain it.

The DS lite is wicked. Mario and Tetris are both great games. I find the normal tetris mode to be a tad easy because of the fact that you can infinitely spin a piece and it won't lock down. This can lead to some very long games. Currently my record is very shocking in my opinion. Its probably crap in comparison to stuff I will see online this weekend, but for me it was a big achievement. Mario is really fun also, I suck at mario though so I am taking my sweet time playing it.

I have recently been reading lots of Hajime no Ippo manga. Manga is wicked. I can't wait till I get better at jap so that I can read raw mangas. Or even watch anime without subtitles. That will most likely take a few more courses. Reminds me of a great scene from golden boy when Kentaro is on his bike racing a women and starts yelling out "STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY!". Now Golden boy was a great anime, probably one of the funniest series i have seen. Shame it was so short.

Now I must get some good sleep and learn some intense calc and algeo.

Sunday, June 11, 2006

Oh No!!!

I got this Mickey from Cheryl for christmas. It is by far the greatest plush I have ever had. A lot of people (including me) love his large hands. It makes it quite cute. I took this photo a few days back. Luckily it came out fairly nice.

Last week was a week from hell. I tend to leave my work too last minute, so I was quite busy. This week is a little better, still lots of work but nothing as intense as last week.

Joanna had come up to waterloo so it wasn't that boring of a bus ride up. Once we got in we ate some food and I got to work...I think. For the most part the week was spent working late into the night, then talking to jo to even later into the night.

Jo is quite a bum so she pretty much lazed around for 5 days. She did look at a few places to live, and did take care of some school stuff, but she was still quite a lazy bum.

Fast forwarding to friday. Once I got back into toronto I sat around for a little bit then Justin and Jon came by and we both headed to justins house. Justin lived at Woodbine and dansforth I think so it was quite a long ride. His house was quite nice, I really like the fact that it was an old style like house. I was playing on Sean's Nintendo DS for a little bit. Justin had a game called brain age which was damn crazy. Me Kevin philip and nelson couldn't get enough. However when the guys started playing poker I joined in. Mainly because there were a lot of people playing the DS.

Poker was okay as always. Daniel was struggling a fair bit at the beginning. Luckily I quickly took him out of his misery. After that I was doing pretty good for the last chunk of the game. Afterwards I took out Adrian then I think Jimmy took out kevin. In the end I made $10 which would later go to pay for developing some film.

After poker we played some Halo. Sean is a tank at halo. At one point it was like 5 on 1 and he still throughly trashed us. The score was around 50-20 or something. After a few games like that some people slept over at justins while the others headed home. I had a doctors appointment so me philip and kings went home.

Saturday was a pretty relaxing day. After my doctors appointment I went home and sat around for a bit. Then my brother drove me to shoppers to pick up my film and medicine. Once I finished my business I went to go visit cheryl.

Cheryl had recently gotten two pretty cute guinea pigs. I am not that big a fan of pets. Currently the greatest pet I have seen is probably Sean's dog. It didn't bark at me, and looked cool. Anyways these guinea pigs didn't do much when in the cage but were a little crazy when they were taken out. I called cheryl crazy a few times for getting these guinea pigs and then we got some mcdonalds. After eating our mcdonalds we went back to cheryls, talked for a little while longer then I had to head home.

Once I got home I mowed the lawn and did some slight gardening. Soil is damn disgusting. After I finished the gardening I took a shower and awaited the arrival of my cousins so that we could play settlers.

I will not say much about settlers because it was quite shocking we were throughly trashed by my cousin. Needless to say it was a big upset to us all.

After settlers I helped raymond film some scenes for a project then called it a night.

Today I woke up early to make sure I was ready to get a DS lite. Once we got to best buy I went straight to a man in blue and asked for a DS lite. I luckily managed to get one. Later on I would find out that bestbuy only had 4 so I was quite lucky. Anyways I bought tetris and Mario, both of which are stellar games. Shawn and simon seem to really enjoy mario. I personally thing tetris will be quite crazy when I have time to play a bit more of it.

Well now I must get back to some intense calc review. God I hate rotational volumes.

Sunday, June 4, 2006

Oh No!

I took this photo of Amy while at waterloo. I was talking to Andrew and Ian about my camera and told them how you don't really need to look through to take a photo. So I kind of just focussed it and let the camera rest on my shoulder then just took this photo. I don't know why but I like this photo.

The last week has been pretty uneventful. I recently had a quiz in my jap class which I think I did okay on. My other classes are coming along okay as well. Calc is still pretty crazy those, rotational volumes scare me.

Thursday my ear became super blocked and now I am quite deaf. I can't remember the last time it was blocked this bad but its quite annoying.

Friday I got into toronto and went out for dinner. After dinner we went to Ryans to play some poker. After a long grueling 4 or 5 hours I won a whopping $3.

Saturday I helped elaine with some math homework for a short little while. Not exactly sure how helpful I was. Most of the problems she had dealt with graphing and it had been so long since I did graphing problems. Also the way her book explained how to graph functions seemed stupid. It involved like drawing a bunch of graphs then using logic to figure out how the curve would look, I looked at that and simply said WTF!

Once we finished with math we talked to some people online. After doing this for awhile Elaine had to head home and I needed to work out how we were going to get to Sean's house for his party. After much of a struggle and calling various people we finally made it to seans house.

Sean's party was quite nice. He has the coolest dog I have ever seen. I walked in and it didn't bark. That alone makes it the greatest dog in the fucking world. Also that dog was damn big, it looks so cool. It was tired for most of the night though because it was quite loud, I guess it couldn't get any sleep.

Sean's party was quite fun, people were watching movies, some were playing poker, lots of people talking. Great time indeed. It was funny seeing redford partially drunk. It was also funny seeing elaine and vanessa pestering both philip and redford about women.

After seans party redford wanted some tim hortons so we all went. We just sat around and talked for a while. Its always nice to just sit around and talk. I took a few photos which also made the night great.

After a long night we all headed home and I went straight to bed. Today will probably be a very relaxed day, most likely catch up on some algeo before heading up to waterloo.

Paparazzi shot

I often try to replicate photos I see from my brothers photo blog. I took this photo while at destiny. Simon elaine and vanessa showed up sometime after we got there. They sat at the table behind us. I couldn't take a photo of simon because his back was too me, and vanessa kept covering her face. Elaine either didn't care or didn't know.

Once again a long break between posts. This last weekend was very intense. I saw X-men 3 and I really liked it. I have been hearing mixed reviews from other people but I still think the movie was quite good. Some of the dialogue was a tad strange but I managed to overlook that.

Saturday I went and saw xmen 3 again because joanna and cheryl hadn't seen it. It was still good the second time around. After the movie we walked around STC for a bit then headed out to McDonalds for dinner. When we got back to my house my parents were holding a party. So I was often running up stairs and downstairs because I would talk to my cousins then go upstairs and talk to nelson and amy. Saturday was a great night. Sadly I had missed a great game of Settlers with my cousins.

After everyone had left. Amy and I had talked for quite some time that night, I told her various stories from highschool. Telling stories are fun, but I am still quite bad at it. Redford is still the greatest story teller. He can make the most serious of events almost comical.

Sunday was pretty laid back. I had driving in the morning, struggled as always. After driving ryan took me amy nelson jessica to Pmall. I got some chocolate and walked around for a bit. I also got some pretty bad chocolate bubble tea. I think I will just stick with banana.

When we got home amy needed to get some gum so we walked to mini mart, picked up a pack then went home to pack up things. Now I am back in waterloo burning up. It is quite hot. But I have been trained well. My house use to be around 35 or so afew years back. I should be okay this summer. Not sure how simon will handle it though.

Ram sitting around

I have no idea when I took this photo but I am certain it was quite a long time ago.

Once again another long break between a post. Last week was nothing too special. The weekend was fairly exciting though. Friday Ian drove us back up to Toronto. When I got back I met up with a few of the guys and we got dinner. After dinner people came back to my house and we sat around and talked for a little while. Pretty boring day and very tiring.

Saturday was more interesting. After waking up I was suppose to meet up with cheryl for breakfast but we were both bums and neither of us woke up. Instead of breakfast we decided to just get lunch at STC and watch a movie.

I met up with cheryl and we got some mcdonalds (we planned to get this for breakfast) and talked for a little bit then quickly rushed to go see Over the Hedge. The movie was really good. At times very touching, and also very funny. Avril Lavigne did the voice of one of the characters and she didn't do that great a job. The other voice actors were fairly famous and were very funny.

After the movie Cheryl and I wandered around STC for a bit. We stopped off at the disney store to see if they had any new eeyores. They didn't have any eeyores sadly but they did have a nice sale on mugs. It was two for $15 so we each got one. Cheryl got a Tigger mug while I got a Minnie Mouse mug. I think cheryl was very confused as too why I was so interested in getting that Minnie mouse mug. I personally thought it looked really cool. Also it was classic minnie which was another bonus. I am a big fan of classic Mickey and Minnie mouse.

Our next stop was Walmart. Cheryl needed to buy some cooking stuff so we walked around and picked out some pans and a blender then headed home. Since it was getting late I had to head straight home and see what was happening for dinner. After a fair bit of talking it turned out we were going to Le Biftheque steakhouse.

Le Bieftheque was a pretty nice steakhouse. I strictly mean in appearance. I don't eat steak so I don't know if it was all that great. Simon said his was okay. The dish I had sucked. Justin got daniel a little birthday cake thingy. It was pretty funny seeing daniels expression. The place was too dark for me to take a photo sadly.

After dinner we headed back to my house. Some people played poker while others sat in my room and watched an anime movie Karas. Karas was actually a very interesting anime. I am not sure how many other people enjoyed it though. I can't wait to see what happens in the next part.

Sunday was a very fun day as well. It pretty much consisted of playing board games with my cousins. We played four games of settlers back to back (a small break for dinner). The games were awesome. Settlers is by far one of the best games I have played in a long time, it is very fun. I won the last game, and was VERY close to winning the second last game.

Once the last game ended everyone had pretty much left. I got a message from nelson saying he wanted to go out and do something so we all went to tim hortons. Since timmy's was full we then relocated to Destiny. This was my first time actually sitting down in destiny and drinking bubble tea. It was pretty nice. I got a banana bubble tea. The drink tasted like this old anti-bacterial medicine I took as a kid called amoxicillin. The drink was wicked! Brought back lots of great memories.

While sitting around Kevin kept drawing all sorts of weird photo's of jimmy and penises. It was very funny. After a little bit Simon, Elaine and Vanessa also dropped by destiny. They didn't sit with us though because there wasn't any space at our tiny tiny table. After a lot of talking we headed out. We stood and talked to vanessa simon and elaine for a short bit then headed back to my place. We all played a $2 game of poker and then called it a night.

Now I must do some intense jap studying and also pray that I find my jap notebooks.

Jessica is CS Pro

I took this photo while I was at ryans. Jessica had come by to do some CS hwk. I was more then happy to help. I didn't really do much because I didn't know any javascript (the language she was coding in) but I did what I could.

Once again a very long delay in posts. And once again nothing of great interest has been happening lately. Went up last weekend and didn't do much. Just dinner, talked and some people played poker.

Today was a pretty intense day of class. Calc is getting pretty crazy. I need to sit down and do some problems. The rotational volume problems are just too damn complicated. Algeo is still pretty normal, and CS is just lots of work.

Also I have been doing some exercise recently. Today I went to CIF with Simon and Kyle, a friend from Systems, and just ran on the elliptical for a bit. My heart rate was very high for most of the run. I really need to get in shape, its a shame I'm so lazy and eat such unhealthy food.

The token white man

I took this photo of Sean when a bunch of people were at my house. They may have been watching a movie or just some random show on tv. We call Sean our token white man, however I don't know what really defines a token white man

These last few days have been pretty busy. I got home on friday and a few people came over. Nothing much really happened, just a lot of talking and a few people playing poker.

Saturday was the bbq and it went by fairly well. A few minor problems towards the end of the night but nothing that serious. However I doubt I will be having another bbq anytime in the near future.

Now I am back at waterloo and have lots of intense homework to take care of. And my conflicts and resolutions course is too intense. So much reading and lots of writing. Hopefully I won't fail, a lot of the in class discussions are too much for me to comprehend.

Monday, May 1, 2006

Only a little further

I took this photo of elaine and vanessa when they stopped by my house after they had done some drinking. It was quite funny seeing them try to put their fist in their mouth. The entire night was quite funny actually. We kept trying to get vanessa and elaine to kiss, but they weren't that drunk...They just couldn't walk straight...They could fall down stairs pretty good though

Had my first day of class today. It was very nice being back to doing math. I missed it so much. I have to do some intense calc review though, can't fall behind.

My linear algebra professor seems like he is quite funny. He is also the coordinator of the course so I expect him to be quite a good prof as well. Hopefully CS and Conflict resolutions tomorrow will also be interesting.

God I love my timetable, I have class at 1:00 tomorrow. Its nice being able to stay up late again. Time to do some math.

So....Tired

I took this photo after Elaine's party. This was after vanessa was totally out of it and just fell asleep. My brother was very funny about it.

My first post back at waterloo. Its nice being back here, a tad boring since no one I know has gotten in yet, but still fun being away from home. Its also nice knowing I don't have to do crap work for 4 months. I have missed math very much. The last few days have been quite exciting.

It all started friday. It was my last day of work and it was quite relaxed. I got my work term evaluation and did okay. I got a Very Good which is about 5/7 which is decent I think. Usually 7/7 is quite rare. After getting my evaluation and was getting ready to head home my coworker gave me a $50 gift card to best buy which was very nice. She said they usually give something nice to all their coop students so I was very happy. When I left and headed home I played some kingdom hearts before getting ready to head to Elaine's for a crazy party.

We all went out for dinner before going to Elaine's. We went to Tim Hortons/Wendy's and got some food. While there we met up with Felix and Redford. After talking for a bit they too decided to come to Elaine's party and we all headed out. Once we got there a few of us started playing poker, others played fight night, while some sat around and played with Elaine's hamster. After a few more people got to Elaines they started to drink. There weren't too many people drinking. Elaine, Vanessa, Willie, Redford, William, Nelson Philip and Felix were the only people that drank. It got pretty ridiculous after awhile. When I walked back to the room they were taking shots it was pretty crazy. They had spelt out Elaine's name in shot glasses, so there were quite a lot of shots. Also they would just be drinking like crazy. It was funny because they were playing some weird game, somewhat like war. So whoever lost had to take a shot. Since everyone thought Elaine was sober she had to take two shots.

Towards the end of the night all the girls were totally gone. I can't even begin to describe how crazy these people were. Vanessa and Elaine couldn't even walk, redford would not stop yelling, philip was just really red, and nelson was also somewhat red.

Slowly things winded down and we all had to quickly vacate Elaines and head back to my place.

At my house we all talked for a while. Vanessa was outside trying to sober up. After an hour or so she was quickly rushed into my house for various reasons. Nelson being hero sat by her and made sure she was okay. As the night dragged on slowly more people left and the few remaining just talked casually. Eventually my brother came home and recounted a few of his funny drinking stories. We all laughed and eventually after Vanessa threw up once she passed out and slept on my brother. It was quite funny because he was saying to himself "This is a very expensive sweater...." At around 4:30 Vanessa reluctantly decided to sleep over and everyone headed home. My brother being a light sleeper slept in her room to make sure she was okay. I sleep like a rock so I couldn't really do that.

The next day was pretty relaxed. I wasn't awake when vanessa left sadly. Saturday I had my driving lesson and an optometry appointment. After both of those a few of us went to the park to play some baseball. I was shocked at how much fun it was. I was complete crap though, but hitting the ball is so fun. I can't wait to play again.

After some baseball people headed over and we all talked. We all told elaine everything that happened at her party. She couldn't remember anything. She can't even remember how much she drank which was pretty funny.

As the night progressed more people came and it was a great night. Lots of games, talking, relaxing, great way to spend my last day in toronto. We rewatched FF7 AC. Joanna and philip almost fell asleep which was shocking! AC was intense! Watching it again made me want to play FF7.

Now that I am back in waterloo its time to do some work. I need to quickly fix up my work report and send it out.

CN Tower

Update 10:32 A.M: I just handed in my work report. God I hope I do okay.

I took this photo of the CN tower outside my building.

Been quite some time since my last post, been a tad lazy and also didn't have any photos worth uploading. Not much has been happening these last few days. Saturday was quite fun because Vanessa and elaine came by and they were quite drunk. It was very funny seeing them act. My brother came in every so often and talked to them. They were quite drunk, but not drunk enough to do anything too stupid. Towards the end of the night as they were leaving elaine trips and falls down the stairs. It was damn funny. I doubt I will let her live that one down.

Sunday was spent mainly working on my stank work report which I must hand in tomorrow. Only 4 more days and I'm free for 4 months. God I hate working. Its not interesting enough. I would much rather do something where I learn some new skills. Hopefully I don't fail my work report. Only time will tell. Now I must get some well deserved sleep. I have been playing Kingdom Hearts 2 too much.

Expect more up to date photos of the next few days.

Must cover face...

Crazy people covering their faces while I attempt to take a photo. It has now gotten to a point where even if people cover there face I will still take a photo.

Thursday I headed to my cousins after work to eat dinner and play some board games. For dinner we got takeout from Young Thailand. As always dinner was excellent and was accompanied with great stories from both my brother and my cousins. After the meal we played an intense game of settlers. Surprisingly enough I finally won. I suspect a lot of it had to do with luck though because I started off really good.

Friday is a bit of a blur right now so if I remember what happened I will blog about it. I recall though that friday night we played poker and I was doing quite well. I was up a fair bit at the beginning then dipped down quite substantially. However I lucked out towards the end and finished off winning $8.

Saturday afternoon was spent filming stuff for raymonds poker video. It was pretty fun filming again. Daniel was given the opportunity to slap me in the face. This was quite funny because he did a bunch of small slaps but when we started filming he did a semi-real slap. What sucks though was jimmy accidentally taped over that scene so it was never actually put into the final video.

Once again saturday was another poker night. I was playing for a bit but had to stop because raymond needed some help editing the video. I think I will probably stop playing poker now though. Its not that fun.

Sunday was a trip to pmall for some chocolate and general walking around. I met up with raymond at orbit and we both headed back to my place to finish editing the movie. After a few hours of struggling and stupid problems we finally finished the short 3 minute video.

Today was simply a dull day of work. It was great that the subways were empty. I suspect lots of people took easter monday off. I can't complain, I hate crowded subways. When I got home I played kingdom hearts for quite some time. This game is awesome. I can't wait to continue playing tomorrow.

A shiny building

I took this photo while wallking down Queen St on my way back from Hairy Tarantula's. The RBC building is a really nice building. I have no idea what this building is.

Today was a great day. I finally finished reading my Love hina manga, and I must say it was an excellent series. I haven't read or seen a good romance series in a while so reading the love hina manga was great. The manga was quite different from the anime. After finishing the manga it is actually phenomenally better then the anime. The manga is a much better romance. Its funny, but after a certain point it becomes much more romance oriented and from time to time quite sad. The best part was the manga had an excellent ending.

After finishing the love hina manga I felt quite empty. Now there isn't much for me to do. When I got home I watched some anime then watched a decent episode of lost.

Now I must watch some more anime. Also I must find some good romance series.

Relaxing

I took this photo of edward while he was in my room talking to kings and philip. This was during the time everyone was downstairs playing poker which edward hates, and also while people were in the basement drinking which edward hates even more. That was a great night

It has been quite some time since my last post. This large delay is mainly due to the fact that I don't have any photos I really want to post online. I am currently too lazy to make a post about everything that has been going on since my last post so this will be a quick overview of the weekend.

Friday ryan adrian daniel edward jimmy and I headed to all star wings for dinner. After our last trip we felt that we were ready for level 4 and level 5 wings. It was quite a shock. Jimmy ordered 25 wings called "God of thunder." As soon as those wings came onto our table we would breathe in and feel burning. Those wings just smelt like they were on fire. Edward ordered Jamaican jerk chicken wings assuming that it would taste like jerk chicken. He was greatly mistaken. The wings he ordered were sour and very very nasty. Edward is a trooper though and scared down a good chunk of them. Adrian's chicken wings were quite nice. Not spicy and normal tasting. Dano's was a tad spicy and I found it didn't have much flavor. The greatest part of dinner was when jimmy gave edward a god of thunder wing and put it on his plate. We all continued talking and didn't really pay much attention to him eat it. After a little while someone said the never actually saw him eat it. Edward being a fool does his funny "What!? lets change the subject" type of talk and we knew he never actually ate it. After watching him for about 5 minutes we realized he had picked up the wing and put it in a different basket. We were all laughing for quite some time.

Saturday my brother finally got back from his long ass trip to sydney and japan. It was funny seeing him again, it was like he hadn't really been gone all that long. When we got back home we sat around and talked for a bit then I started calling people over. We ended up going to this pho that everyone seemed to dislike but its not that big a deal. When we got back some people played a bit of poker for fun. Others sat around and talked. The rest of the day is a big haze right now.

Sunday was pretty quiet. Vanessa wanted to check out cellphones so me her and simon went to pmall and walked around for a bit. She saw a few phones she liked but didn't really bother picking one up. I got a box of hello pandas and then we went to get some sushi for dinner. We went to this place at midland and finch and it was pretty good. Me and simon split a pound of shashimi for 15$ which was quite nice. I hadn't had sushi in a long time. After dinner I went home to find shawn talking to my brother. We all talked about randomness for a little while then shawn headed home and I went to sleep.

Today was a pretty dull day. I took my camera to work but didn't get around to taking any photos. I need to buy some better film. When I got home I was having a bit of a headache, but I still had to cook so I started warming up some water and then went to the other room. When I got back it turns out I had accidently switched on the wrong element so I quickly turned that off and then picked up the handle of the pot to move it. My next mistake was not noticing that the handle was right on top of the heated element. Needless to say I got nice burn on my hand. My hand is okay now and the headache seems to have subsided so hopefully I will be able to get some decent sleep now.

People in the halls

This is quite an old photo of chintan and suth. I saw suth today at kennedy station but didn't have time to talk because a subway was there. Hopefully he wasn't too offended. Good thing I caught that subway because I was still late when I got into work today. If I waited for the other one it would have just been worse.

It has been quite a busy few days. Friday was a very interesting day. Friday ryan and jimmy had a drinking contest. They both got completely wasted. They were totally out of it. Vanessa and simon also drank. Vanessa was also quite drunk. She could barely walk, couldn't stop talking loud, kept saying things she probably shouldn't say, it was great. It was my first time seeing people get drunk so I was a tad scared but it was also really fun to watch. Surprisingly my parents were fairly okay with everything. They asked if anyone drank and drive, I said no, and that was that. No beatings, no telling me I could never do it again. Mind you I have no idea when those guys will want to drink again, but as long as it doesn't get too crazy loud my parents won't mind too much it seems.

Saturday was a day of recovery. I had an insurance lesson so I sat through that and played megaman for about 6 hours. When that finished I got home and started playing some suikoden and waited till it was time to go out and watch inside man.

Inside man was an okay movie. I would have expected something a little better from clive owen but it wasn't anything too great. The movie got fairly good reviews but I didn't think it was all that great though.

After the movie we pretty much headed to ryans place. Some played poker, others watched movies, and some just played ps2. I was helping jess in computer science which went by okay I think. After all the cs help we all talked for a little while then just headed home.

Now sunday monday today and probably even tomorrow will most likely be me playing suikoden 5. The game is great. It brings back lots of great memories from suikoden 1. Now I must get back to playing. I really need to develop some photos, I barely have any photos left to post for my blog.

Flowers for Formal

This was taken at Liberty grand before formal. I am quickly running out of photos to post. I must go out and take more photos. Perhaps I will go buy some black and white film soon.

Once again a bit of a delay between my posts but no matter. Tuesday was nothing important. Wednesday however was perhaps the worst day of work ever. The day started off okay but then at 9:45 I got a call that would crush my chances at getting a decent evaluation for this work term.

The call was from someone in a meeting room saying they couldn't connect. This is quite a common problem. People usually have their firewalls turned on or are plugged into the wrong port. So I walk over to the meeting room and take a look. She is a little edgy because she has a meeting in 15 minutes and had to send documents and everything.

So I take a look at her computer and checked her settings and the different ports and the computer wouldn't connect. For some reason it would alternate between acquiring address and network cable unplugged. Baffled I went back to my coworkers and asked for their input. They were unsure as to what was wrong and told me to try manually selecting the line speed of the connection. I tried this and still didn't have any luck.

After a while she just picks up her laptop and moves it to a different workstation and tries to see if she can connect from there. When I follow her and see which cable she used, she used one that wasn't plugged in. So I ended up just taking this laptop back to my desk and trying it at my desk. By this point she had to postpone the meeting 1/2 hour because she couldn't get online. At my desk she could connect fine so I was still very confused. My coworker told me to ask one of the network people to check if the connection in the room was active or not so I did. He was pretty busy and said he would get to it soon. When I got back she was finishing up and email at my desk.

When she finished I took the computer back to the meeting room and tried every port in the room (6 ports). 1 of them looked like they would work but it just wouldn't acquire an address. After a while she said its too late, I have a meeting to start. So I headed back to my desk. 2 or 3 minutes after this point the network person comes by and says lets go check that laptop. So we walk back to the meeting room and she says "No, your too late, I have a meeting to start" So we said okay and walked back. I sit back at my desk looking at other calls and 5 minutes later my manager comes by and tells us all the VP's and top top people got an email from this women saying "Sorry about the delay in the meeting. The people at IT REFUSED to check the connection in that room. When I heard that I was like SOB! I am certain my manager doesn't like me much as it is and I was certain this couldn't make things better. My coworkers asked me what I did and I told them. After hearing about this email I was informed that someone else had a problem in that meeting room because all the IP's for for that room had been used up. It turns out the reason she couldn't connect was because all the IP's had been used up. I would have never guessed that all the ip's were taken. Anyways it turns out this women has caused the helpdesk much grief in the past so hopefully it won't be too bad. I wouldn't care about this event too much but if I have to come back for a second term. If my manager doesn't like me now, he probably won't like me 5 months from now.

Today went by pretty smoothly. No major problems which is always good. Hopefully the weekend will be able to raise my spirits after this terrible incident. Not sure what is planned yet. I imagine video games and perhaps a crappy movie. Thats what I foresee.

Blocks of life

I love taking macro shots. I have no idea what were written on these blocks but I remember it to be a puzzle. Jamil had brought them into physics one day and much of the class was spent figuring out how to put them back in the proper shape. We never figured it out.

Been quite some time since my last post. Friday was an awesome day. We got some dinner then headed out and watched V for Vendetta. The movie was superb. The comic was still better in some respects, but overall the movie was great. There isn't much else I can say but the movie was great. I recommend everyone to see it. By far one of the better comics books movies ever made.

Saturday was a boring insurance class then a bit of a gap till dinner. Dinner was at some greek place justin recommended. I got some decent souvlaki. It was a tad pricey and I really didn't like our waiter. The bum ignored me a lot. Also they imposed the 15% gratuity charge because we came in a large group.

We headed back home after dinner and sat around for a bit and talked then me simon and nelly headed over to felix's to wish shawn a happy birthday. They were playing n64 when we got there so I just talked to amy jo and nis for a bulk of the stay.

We left around midnight and got back home to watch some people playing poker, some people playing fightnight, and others just sitting around and watching tv. It was a great night indeed.

Sunday was pretty much waking up and going to cheryls for lunch. Cheryl being a bum didn't want to go out and get food but instead wanted to order popeyes. Popeyes only delivered at 3 so we waited 2 hours and got some delivery. For those 2 hours I pretty much sat around and made fun of Cheryl's stupid widgets.

After eating we watched A history of violence. It was a pretty bizarre movie. Overall it wasn't that impressive of a movie though.

After the movie ben picked up cheryl to take her to the bus stop and was kind enough to drive me home.

Work today was great. I sat back and read x-men vol 3 and a portion of 4. The comics are wicked. They started throwing in other marvel characters so its really funny also. Spider-man is still hilarious. I can't wait to finish vol 4 tomorrow.

Tree

No idea where this tree is from but I am certain its somewhere on my way home from campbell.

These last few days have been pretty fun. Monday was nothing special. Yesterday though I got dinner with ryan and dano after work which was pretty good. We went to this place on middlefield and steeles called wanlee. The food was pretty good, we did have a bit of a struggle deciding what to order though.

After dinner we went back to my place and talked for a bit. The initial plan was to go to DQ but loser kevin backed out and we decided not too. Instead we talked quite into the night. Vanessa came by to pick up my dvd burner and we all talked for a while. It was a great night.

Today was a very relaxed day at work. Didn't do much other then read, talk and read some more. After work I headed to Hairy T to look at some manga, I forgot which vol I was looking for so I just went home empty handed.

For some reason some weird stuff was going on at Dundas, right in front of eaton centre. Lots of police tape and lots of cops. I didn't see any blood so I wasn't sure what was up. After looking around for a bit I went home and watched some anime

Now I am going to get ready to go to DQ with ryan adrian and jimmy. A certain village scum was suppose to go but being village scum he cancelled yet again.

Su playing psp

This is quite an old photo of su playing with justin's psp in the library. This photo was taken sometime last may.

Been quite sometime since my last blog post. Thursday and friday were both very dull days at work. However friday night proved to be quite an interesting day.

After work I had planned to go up to waterloo to write the Bernoulli Math contest and also to visit people in waterloo. My first stop was popeyes to get jo some food because she hasn't had any in the longest time. Afterwards I headed down to downsview station.

Downsview was a pretty cool bus station. It looked really nice. It was cool because before you enter downsview there is like a graveyard of subways. Not really a graveyard because they are all working, but a whole mess of subways just lined up. It was quite cool to look at.

Once at the station I waited quite a long time for the bus to arrive. At first I had no idea where the bus was so I had to call jo a few times to try and get an idea of where the bus was. Feds office had some photos of where the pickup would be but it wasn't very helpful. The bus was suppose to get there by 6:30 but it only got there closer to 7. Needless to say I was freaking out for a little while wondering if I was in the right area or if the bus got in early and already left. Luckily I made it on the bus and arrived safely in waterloo.

I pretty much went straight to Jo and amy's place, dropped my bags off then me shawn amy and jo went to get some dinner at Kelseys. Kelseys wasn't anything special. It was a really expensive not that impressive meal. After eating we just went back home and sat around and watched some tv and talked.

When we decided to go to bed this proved to be difficult because there was no place for me to sleep. So what we ended up doing was moving in 2 chairs into the bedroom and push them against the bed. We slept perpendicular to the bed, so our upper bodies were on the bed but our feet were on the chairs. It looked something like a square bracket, [. Anyways it was a tad hard to get some good sleep the first day.

Saturday started off with me heading to the math building to get thoroughly owned in writing a math contest. The bernoulli consists of a statement and you have to decide whether its true or false, no work required. I managed to get the first one write, guessed the second one wrong, got the third one right, guessed the 4th one wrong. You are only allowed two mistakes so I got out pretty early. In despair I went straight home, even though they wanted people to just stay and get some practice and eat and stuff.

When I got back to the res everyone was still sleeping (sadly I had to wake them up to open the front door to the building) so I just sat around and played tetris and watched some anime. The woke up sometime around 12-1 and we just ate and watched some desperate housewives.

After about 5 hours of desperate housewives I went downstairs to talk to the twins and david. Those guys are quite funny. They were studying for a midterm when I went down to visit them so hopefully I didn't set them too far back. We all talked for a few hours, me mainly telling various high school stories and drama which was great.

After lots of talking we headed back upstairs and just finished desperate housewives and that was the end of saturday.

that night was filled with some pretty crappy sleep. I bothered everyone by talking in my sleep, lots of just non-sensical gibberish. I also elbowed (or kneed) jo in the back. It was quite funny when she told me. Jo kept me awake because she was a blanket whore and kept stealing the blanket. I would be like freezing and would have to keep on trying to steal some back. I felt bad though because it was her blanket and her bed. It was pretty funny before going to bed because there is this bar on the back of the bed which joanna hit with her head as she was lying down to get ready to sleep. It was a loud thud and was quite funny. What was even funnier was in the morning when I was telling this to shawn I did the EXACT same thing right after finishing the story. We all had a good laugh.

Today was basically all about the david copperfield show. He did some pretty cool things but I didn't think the show was worth as much as it was. It was quite short.
One of his big illusions is he went to hawaii and came back. I found this to be a very iffy trick. I wasn't thoroughly impressed. Some of his other tricks were quite cool though.

After the show we just got dinner at pizza hut then went home. I am dead tired and will probably be getting some sleep very soon. God I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

Stacking chips

I am pretty sure thats a picture of philip stacking some chips on ryans birthday party. We went to his house after boston pizza and played poker. I didn't play....I think, not too sure. It was a pretty fun day. I remember seeing Ray.

Work was very dull today. Quite hard to stay awake after lunch. My coworkers are always so busy, no idea what they are doing though. After lunch one of my coworkers was watching this guy at the harbour who was obsessed with some piece of ice. He kept throwing stuff at it, and poking it. We had no idea what he wanted to do with it. My guess is there must have been something underneath the block of ice. The craziest thing this guy did was stand on the ice and try to push it away. If he put his full weight on it he would have been toast.

Other then that small event the rest of the day was laid back. I read some battle angel alita and it is quite similar to the anime. The anime was great, the manga is just as good. I am about to start vol 3 which basically takes place where the anime left off. I am very excited to see how things go with this series. Hopefully I can finish it before I have to hand it to adrian.

On a side note I think I fully fixed all the archives now. So it should work regardless of where you are in my blog. Be sure to comment if there are any problems.

Looking at photos

Update:

I have finally got the archives section up and running. Now for anyone who liked to read previous posts it will actually work with any browser now (at least I think it will). It should work with browsers like firefox and what not. Now you can read to your hearts content!!!

I took this photo of my cousin Jana while we were at his brothers house (Mahi's) playing a board game called Settlers of Katan among other games. Jana has quite a large collection of board games and card games. Every time we go to Mahi's place for board games and dinner he always brings something new. However the rest of us are very focussed on playing settlers of Katan so we don't always get around to trying his other games.

Today was a very boring day at work. I finished Ultimate X-men vol 1 and I have mixed feelings about the comic. It looked stunning but certain parts of the story I felt were too strange. I grew up with the cartoon and I feel that was great, possibly because it was moving characters, possibly because I was 7 when I watched it. Regardless Ultimate X-men is a very interesting view of remaking an old classic.

When I went to my cousin Mahi's place today for another day of boardgames we were talking about the ultimate series and came to an interesting discovery. All the old series like The avengers, fantastic 4, x-men, spiderman, they now all have ultimate series. So it will be strange to see what happens in 10 years because people may not know which fact about a superhero is true anymore. Both the originals and the ultimates contain the same characters but completely different stories. In x-mens case the characters are the same, just their back stories are different, and I think the timeline is a little closer to the present. The original which it was based on may seem to be the true story of a character, but when you think about it ultimates remade the series completely, so what is wrong with saying the wolverine in ultimate x-men is what wolverine really is, not the wolverine from the uncanny x-men. Mind you whoever is reading this is probably wondering why I care so much about comics, but it was cool to talk about.

When everyone arrived at my cousin mahi's house we started playing Settlers of Katan. As always I lost, but the game is still super fun. After a very long game we talked for a while then headed home. Now I must get some good sleep and prepare for a long day of work tomorrow.

Can't wait to go to waterloo this weekend. I have a math contest I must destroy. Hopefully I can find a good luck charm, the contest is just crazy logic statements.

On yet another side note I may actually get around to remaking this site. Perhaps I will do the unthinkable, learn html, css and make an ultra simple layout.

Tough decisions

This was taken on a trip to tim hortons. Justin is changing the song on his nano.

Sunday was a pretty fun day. It started off with another driving lesson. I still really suck at driving, hopefully my dad will take me out for a few lessons so I can get more practice. After driving I was doing pretty much nothing for about a few hours. I watched a bit of anime and downloaded some stuff, but other then that nothing really.

At night kings and simon came over and we watched xxxHolic. It was a very cool anime movie made by clamp. Mind you there is no pornography or anything so don't let the name trick you. The movie was very good though. Visually it was stunning, they animated it very well. The story was pretty cool, but the movie was just too short. It was around 50 minutes.

After the movie my mom came into my room and we were all talking. Eventually shawn showed up and we talked a bit more. Shawn brought me a salad which was much appreciated. If it weren't for that salad I wouldn't have bothered eating dinner.

Today was a pretty normal day of work. I was reading up on ruby which looks to be a programming language designed for making web applications. Still have no idea how to do anything with it though. I think I will need to learn some basic html and what not before starting with this.

When I got home I pretty much sat around and started downloading some anime and have been listening to lots of jacksoul. Still believe in love and shady day are wicked songs. I still need to continue getting songs from block party. I need to get some eryka badu, the roots, wyclef, and a few other artists. Block party was awesome, everyone should go watch it.

Shoes galore

I took this photo while at kingston with cheryl. As always cheryl can't stop looking at shoe stores. On our short walk around downtown kingston she decided to check out this store.

Today was a long long day. It started off with a boring ass inurance class. That was just the biggest waste of time. Thank god I had my PSP. I played some GI Joe and tetris through a good chunk of the class. The instructor is just some weird indian guy who seems to try and make weird jokes and what not. The instructor isn't that bad but the stuff he is talking about is so useless.

As soon as the driving lesson finished I quickly rushed home and started doing some moving around and cleaning of my room with my brother. We moved around some computers and the router. So now I have my iMac, and my new iBook both in my room, along with the router. Its quite a nice setup. I can start streaming music and what not from the imac to the ibook without any problems. I will probably have to start moving over songs eventually though. The laptop is very nice, but its a shame I won't be making much use of its portability for awhile. There aren't many places I go to where I would need my laptop.

After we finished all the moving and what not, my cousins came over and we all started talking about all sorts of stuff. Its always interesting talking about politics and old stories with family. It was a really good conversation. I always leaves these conversations feeling well informed, but there is still a lot I don't really know.

After my cousins left kings and jimmy showed up and played 24 for a bit then we headed to dinner. Dinner was pretty normal. It was hotpot, but for some reason the chicken was black. It looked CRAZY! I had never seen a black chicken before today. It was quite an interesting site. Even though the chicken was black it didn't taste too great.

After dinner a few of us went to STC to watch Dave Chapelle Block party. The movie was great. It was very funny and the music was just excellent. I have quite a bit of music I need to start downloading.

Once we got back to my house it was a normal day at krishna's, talking, playing games, and bashing krishna. It was quite a fun day indeed. Hopefully I won't struggle for my driving lesson tomorrow.

Tired

I took this photo of jo while we were having our party at eddu's week. That was a great week. Non-stop parties at eddu's.

Today was a pretty laid back day of work. I came in late today for various reasons. One of which was the southbound subway was having problems, so I missed 2 trains. One because I got there a few seconds late, the other because it was out of service. Even though I was late it wasn't a big deal. Most of the morning was spent reading stuff online and talking to various people, nothing too exciting.

For lunch I went to Hong Shing and got some decent BBQ Duck. I feel the BBQ pork there is a bit better then the BBQ duck though. Regardless it was a good lunch, very unhealthy, but still wicked.

The rest of the day at work was pretty relaxed also. I burnt a cd, installed visio, and also fixed up some word documents that were causing problems. All in all a very productive day at BCE place.

After work I met up with ryan and adrian at Hairy Tarantula's. We were there for quite some time looking at comic books and manga. I sadly didn't get anything because I have almost no money to spend on books and what not. I still need to buy vol 7 and 8 of my Buddha comic which I hope to do soon.

When I got home people were talking about what to do. Since nothing seemed to be getting done I jogged for my usual 15 minutes. This time I tried watching anime on my psp while jogging. This didn't go over too well. It was too hard to read the subtitles.

When I finished my jog nelson was on his way here and slowly but surely everyone was on there way. The night started off with a very rowdy game of winning 11. People were damn loud. As this was going on my brother Ramanan was setting up his ibook for me to use. He recently got the 20" Intel core Duo iMac which means I get to use his old ibook. This computer is great. Its practically twice as fast as my old iMac, probably even more then that now that I am actually using it. I can't wait to start using this computer more often.

After everyone got here people started playing poker downstairs while the rest of us played chez geek then more winning 11. Edward was very focussed on reading ultimate x-men.

In different news I moved up my old Hi-Fi speakers into my room. Now my tv is plugged into two Merantz speakers. I am still conflicted as to if it sounds better or not. Nelson seems to feel it does but I am still unsure. It does look cooler having speakers next to my TV though.

Now I must wake up early tomorrow for my first insurance lesson. hopefully I won't pass out from boredom.

Must..play...megaman soccer

I took this photo of edward while he was busy playing megaman soccer. I put the game on my psp simply because it was megaman. I never actually got around to playing it though. Edward seemed to really enjoy it though.

Today was a quiet day of work as always. Talked to people online for a bit, read some reviews about the mac book pro, nothing too exciting. For lunch I got some wicked BBQ pork. I need to find something better to eat tomorrow though, perhaps something a little less fatty.

Lunch came and went pretty quickly. The rest of the day was me pretty much talking to people online. The worst part about today though was the fact that I was called over to someones desk at like 4:50. I didn't get to leave till around 5:20 which really sucked. The problem was he couldn't add appointments to his outlook calender. The solution...run adaware and remove spyware. No clue how this works, but windows is a mysterious operating system. Everyday I'm at work is just another reason why I should never go back to windows. Hopefully when I get my tax return next april I will have enough money to actually buy a new iMac.

After work I came home and ate some leftovers from yesterday. Can't beat some good old special fried rice. After eating I relaxed for an hour then hit the treadmill for a quick jog. Once again I lasted only 15 minutes. Hopefully I can make this a daily routine. My heart needs a good workout.

Now its time for some good old fashioned K-drama.
