My Face 3

So I decided to take a 15 minute break from studying and I came across this really cool Face recognition site where you can upload a photo of yourself to see what celebrities you look like. I was pleased to see that some of my favourite actors slightly resembled me (Except I wasn’t too happy ...

AHHHHHHHHHH!! 4

I think I’m going insane. This week is ridiculously busy for me. I’m going to use this website as an anger-outlet tonight, otherwise I might seriously injure myself or someone else. I’m working on a new project at work that is very demanding. Not a big deal though, I can handle that. It’s everything else ...

Blame China 3

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for China; I call it “growing pains”. Such is the inevitable effect of a rapidly developing and industrializing nation. I’m sure European and North American countries experienced similar difficulties during the industrial revolution. The recent pet food contamination has been traced back to suppliers in China. More recently, ...

Adam Plimmer is No Longer 2

Since I’m still getting some traffic from people looking for Adam Plimmer, I figured I’d let everyone know that Adam Plimmer has closed his store. I wonder if he closed down the store as a result of the lack of business since he threw his raging fit back in February. In his little “Goodbye Note” ...

What are you thinking right now? 2

When I was in Whistler BC a few weeks back, we stayed for two nights with some friends of Tim’s from Toronto. One of them told me about a building a couple blocks from my place that had a disturbing sign on it. Intrigued by this discovery, I had to get the full story behind ...

Drinking Update 6

Since I have a few minutes to spare before I head out for the night, I wanted to give you all an update since I’m almost at the 2 week point of my one-month abstinence. So far, not drinking alcohol is… well.. it’s quite dry (No pun intended). Everything is pretty boring actually. I feel ...

Movie Theatre Bloopers 2

Sometimes when you’re at the theatre watching a comedy, they’ll show outtakes at the end of the movie. Tonight, Han, George and I were at the theatre watching the movie 300. Far from a comedy, and with no chance of seeing outtakes at the end, we were entertained in other ways. Precisely at the most ...

One-Month Abstinence 6

Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been drinking a bit too frequently with my vacation and other things that have been going on. I decided today that I’m going to challenge myself to abstain from alcohol for an entire month. Normally after a hard day of work I’ll have a beer at night. This challenge ...

I salute you father

The one person who has consistently motivated me to stay physically active is my very own father. He is probably one of the most fit 57-year-olds ever. If I even wanted to be close to keeping up with him, I’d have to train extremely hard, and he’d still be able to out-run me. He lifts ...
