Hello hello... time for me to make some use of the time I have outside of work... and maybe some time @ work too :p What have I been doing since the last time I was blogging? I guess I'll sum it up.The wall in our front yard has collapsed so we have to replace that.My sister has moved into the Strathcona area, and I'm very surprised at how nice her block is... among the projects.We've recently

Hi :) It's me, and I'm back from the dead again.. :p Ya, I've been getting lazy, very lazy, and very bored... and it's hard for me to write about the trip when Jacq's sleeping... she knows the names of all the locations that we went together, me on the other hand... not so much.Day 4 of my trip was a long day on the road. It was the 16th and we first had to meet up with a friend's friend :D (and

Well... I've switched back to Windows XP professional and curbed Windows Vista for the time being, so I can get back to business!!!I was soooo close to switching over to Linux or purchasing a MAC.. no, really, I was pissed. Don't get me wrong, Vista as an OS is superior to XP in that it offers alot more, has a fancier User Interface, and nifty little widgets, higher security, blah blah blah....

Hey boys & girls... Yes, I'm still here and yes, I still think about how I haven't been posting :(Work has me very very busy (ya ya.. excuses)... and I've been catching up on my GTA: San Andreas :p. Also, I was in Edmonton the week before. It was nice to catch up with my cousins there. The trip was work related BTW.. and I paid an extra $28 to extend my stay :D weeeeeeeeee!Anyhoo, hopefully I'll

People were telling me that I was very fortunate when I was over in Asia. It seems that during this time of the year (CNY) it's usually drought season... Strange thing is parts of JB were under water, and there were times in the day when the rain was coming down REALLY hard. This, of course, led to milder temperatures... which I obviously won't complain about :)M was going to the market again

Day 2 began with a trip to the market with mary :)... She had to go see the fish monger and pick up some prawns... or something :p We all headed off to Farrer Market. I always liked the markets in Asia, there's so much going on there... and the Asian markets have a different air about them, it's not the same as going to the market when you're in Canada.We don't have people screaming at you to buy

It's nice to be back in Asia again... Everything is sooo different than in the west. Small things like the way the air smells bring back a nostalgic feeling for me. Tho I left M'sia when I was very young, the smells and sounds never left me. Each time I come back I look around and see sights that fascinate me, for instance... the Hong Kong style housing flat in the picture to the left. You won't

Due to my lack of a photo editing program, all my photos are going to be 2048x1536 or vice versa... they should load reasonably quickly still :)Hello, hello!!!

Hey Folks... yes, I've been 'not blogging' for the last while :( and I'm a little upset about that. On the other hand, I've also moved to another position @ work... no longer do I hold the Technical Support title but now the IT Desktop Asset Coordinator. That is part of the reason that I haven't been blogging over the past couple of weeks... the new position (some say is a promotion) I feel is

I know I'm a little behind in the times now.. but I recently found out about the radio contest in the States... HOLD YOUR WEE FOR A WIIThe object of the contest: Contestants are given an 8oz drink of water every 10 minutes and the last one to go to the toilet wins a Wii... easy enough, right?Well, what most people don't know reminds me of an old addage my dad used to recite to me: "too much of

He has been charged with the first-degree murders of 26 women from Vancouver's Notorious Downtown East Side.The trial began yesterday where the prosecution laid out gory details of the remains found on his pig farm. This is one trial

For my Father's birthday my sister and I decided to take the family to Tojo's Japanese restaurant. Some people say it's the best in Vancouver, some say it's the best in Canada, and some say it's the best in the World!!! There is only one Tojo's and this is it... :) I had heard many things about Tojo's but never had the opportunity to go.Tojo's has just relocated to 1133 West Broadway. We were

In case you haven't already heard... BC Place Stadium, one of the most recognized structures in the Vancouver cityscape, has had a tear in panel which has brought down her inflatible roof :( The tear occurred in the first week of January during the wind/rain/snow storm that we had, but they're uncertain of the exact cause of the deflation.Since then I've had conversations with different people

At first glance I said..."wth... nice... you didn't make that, did you?""Sure I did...""Whatever, man... you? The Korean Hulk?""Ya""Mr. Destructive?

It's not often that I come across a non-hip hop/r&b song that catches my attention. Disregarding its political message this song is pretty impressive... I've been listening to it for the past week :p

X-Mas, X-Mas... the weathermen promised us a white X-Mas... and it didn't happen. I asked for a winning Lotto ticket... that didn't happen either :pThose who know me also know that I never look forward to X-Mas... I never look forward to any holidays/celebrations, for that matter. Meh, it's just me. As with every other year I spent TOO MUCH time running around like a chicken without a head
