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

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
