NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This is a photo of kevin after I totally destroyed him in Wii Tennis. Jimmy took a series of photos of kevin during the match point. I should make them into a gif or something

Today was a great day indeed. I ended up going to bed at around 3 A.M finishing up my CS245 assignment only to wake up at 8:30 to find out that it was a snow day. Since I had already woken up I decided to stay up and work on some more CS. I finished 4 out of 6 CS241 questions which was quite nice.

Inbetween working on CS I was downloading various programs for OS X and also downloading anime. Running 10.4 is wicked! There are so many great programs available on 10.4 One such program is Quicksilver. Quicksilver is a pretty simple program, it basically lets you quickly open files without having to go through and find them using your mouse. So say if I wanted to open up Photoshop. I can hit Apple Spacebar and type in photo and it will bring up a list of files/programs that start with photo. It automatically judges what files you will want to see and what you don't want to see. This may all sound very stupid but it really improves how fast you can get things done. I find myself using it more and more now.

At around 1 or 2 I went and got Dim Sum with Amy Andrew Ian and Joanna. I can't remember the name of the place we went to but it was pretty nice. Joanna was a scrub and ordered a ridiculous amount of food. However we managed to go through a fair bit and joanna took care of a fair number of plates on her own.

After dim sum we headeded home and I continued working on CS and downloading random shit. Now I am tired and plan to finish the day with some anime, laundry, and maybe CS.

Update: Comments still don't work. Can't figure out how to add .html to allt he individual posts. Stupid ass google blogger. If you use IE you should be able to make posts. Firefox, opera and Safari still don't work I think.

Edward Posing

Edward is by far the best person to take photos of. Almost all photos I have of him deserve to be framed. Partly because they tend to come out really well, partly because I always take photos of him making funny actions. This was taken when we were all playing Cranium in my basement one weekend.

This last weekend has been quite fun. Friday was Simons birthday so as soon as I got back to toronto I quickly started planning where we should eat. Since simon is a big fan of Steak I decided with the Keg. After few complaints we all rallied together and headed to the keg.

Once we reached the keg we had to wait a good hour before actually sitting down. The people working there are all quite nice which is very deceiving. They talked to us about 6 or 7 times before we actually sat down each time saying we were going to be seated in roughly 10-15 minutes. Aside from that though the Keg was very nice. I had no complaints with my food. I ordered some ribs and split Calamari with Redford. The calamari was great.

After the keg most people headed to my house and we all talked well into the night. The first part of the night was just making fun of kevin and how he has a fear of hugging girls. Jimmy yells to elaine "Hug kevin" and elaine motions to hug kevin and kevin instantly throws his hands into the air and backs away. This happened 3 or 4 times throughout the night. After a while kevin kept asking elaine to hug him but it was too late.

After that there was a lot more random conversations going back and fourth. Some people went to get bubble tea and a bunch of people went home. Late into the night Simon and Daniel were arguing and Daniel was just making fun of how weak simon was. Daniel beat Simon in an arm wrestle then said simon couldn't lift elaine. Simon tried a bunch of times but couldn't lift her. This was probably due to the fact elaine was pushing down and wouldn't let simon lift her. So instead he walks over and lifts me up. After a bit more arguing everyone the three of them left at around 5 or 6 in the morning.

I woke up on Saturday at around 3pm. Most of the day was spent sitting around until around 9:30 when I went to McDano's with Justin Ryan and Sean to get some dinner. After dinner we headed out to go see Curse of the Golden Flower. The showtime site I checked posted the wrong time. This is the second time this has happened. The first time I assumed I was an idiot and read the time wrong but I doubt I would do it twice in a row. So we showed up to the movie a good 10 minutes late. We quickly ran inside to find out we hadn't missed much. Curse of the golden flower was pretty good. At times cofusing but stil pretty cool. Jay chou does a much better acting performance in this movie. Also the song at the end of the movie was top tier.

After the movie we went and got bubble tea and met up with Simon and Vanessa. We talked at bubble tea till around 2:00 then called it a night.

Sunday was spent just getting things together. Carvil came by and dropped off the M3 Simply and OS X 10.4 dvd. The two things I really needed. Well not so much the m3 simply but the OS X dvd. After carvil came by I bussed down to Pmall to pick up a keyboard and Micro SD card for the M3 Simply. It was a damn long bus ride. Mccowan is too slow on sunday.

After I got the SD card I quickly downloaded a bunch of games to test the M3 and was surprised at how easy it was to use and how great it works. This simple invention brings new life to the DS. I can't wait to start putting some crazy roms on my DS.

Now I must finish my CS assignment for tomorrow... I probably should have wrote this post after finishing the assingment. Oh well.

Good Friends

This photo was taken when Simon Felix and I stopped by MKV to go pay a visit to Valerie. A bunch of Valerie and Phoebe's friends came up to celebrate Lily's birthday. I took a fair number of photos that day, this was one of them.

Today was another great day of CS241. That course is wicked. It is really interesting learning about how CPU's work and also working in unix.

After the lecture I headed to subway to get some lunch. I have been eating subs for a while now. It is my attempt to eat a little healthier. Not sure how long I can keep it up though, subs are damn expensive.

Once I got home I watched some anime. My new used eMac is much faster then my iBook and old imac so its great being able to watch anime without any problems. Only problem is the OS I am running is about 3 or 4 years old so it lacks a fair number of features.

Once simon got back from his lectures we decided we would go to the gym at around 5:00. Once I finished all of slayers we luckily managed to find Elaine online and the three of us went to CIF. Today, like many other days, the ellipticals were all in use. I felt like trying a different cardio machine so I went on one of the bikes. It was damn tiring. It also didn't help having Elaine next to me bugging me to go faster. Once I finished biking Elaine wanted to try using the medicine balls so we both tried doing various things posted on the walls. Elaine would usually try first, struggle, then I would try next and also struggle.

After we finished at CIF the three of us got some lame chinese food at China legend. That place serves too much food. We got the set dinner for 3 but it was enough for at least 4 or 5 people. Elaine and I both took parts of the meal home since simon did not have a fridge.

Once I got home I talked to people online for a while then eventually felix came by and we went to his place. At felix's we watched transporter 2. The movie had some impressive action scenes but still a stupid movie overall. After the movie we talked about cars for a bit and then called it a night. Now I must get some good sleep.

Note: Commenting still doesn't work because firefox won't open the page unless .html is concatenated to the end of the page. I will try and fix that soon.

Note 2: Happy Birthday Simon TSANG! You're an old man now!

Badminton!



This photo of Sean's dog was taken by Justin the day we went to the big xmas/new years dinner.

Yesterday was a great day! I worked out for the entire afternoon at CIF on the elliptical and the thigh master (to sexify my legs). After that, I met up with Jo, Andrew and Amy to buy badminton rackets and then we headed to PAC to play but got baited out cuz the gym was full. Of course, this was after Amy and Jo had already changed into workout clothes. They were too lazy to change back into normal clothing so they ran to Andrew's van in their shorts and tshirts while it was blizzarding. Then we headed to CIF and played till 10:30, 1.5 hours past schedule. Team AK (Amy and Krishna) owned of course, despite Andrew's cheap moves.

After that, I headed to Jo and Amy's place to print my work report, which took a bit of time. Once that was done, we headed to bubbletease and I had a second dinner and a banana bubble tea. Then I went home and did CS til 3 am. I was struggling on this simple simple question but now I s2 CS!

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.
