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.
