Rick’s Tid-bits

Today was hot, too hot. Normally I could stand hot weather, it’s just a matter of time that my body adjust to the heat, but today, omg, it was ridiculously hot; the sky doesn’t even appear to be cloudy or at least a few sign of going to rain…

Aside from that I received a gift from Jannie in HK A nice plastic case for my phone~ Now it’s super protected with 2 layers of plastic.

Been given some thoughts, why do people in general likes to party/clubbing? Guys go there to fish? Girls go there to be fished? Maybe it’s just me that doesn’t get it. Or perhaps people enjoy getting drunk and dance til they collapse… errr, there, right there, that’s what I don’t get. Why drink to begin with? Do people have so much stress that they need alcohol to feel happy? What happened to self discipline? I know stress comes in many forms but alcohol is not always a solution.

Now to all single boys and girls. Is partying/clubbing the only way to meet true love? I know you who reads this is gonna say, no I don’t go there to look for someone to pick me up, I just like dress up sexy and dance til the sun comes up. Knowing someone in the same club will eventually see you as a prey (either a guy or girl), are you willing to wait until bad things happen then stop these type of activities? heehee I know writing this is gonna cause some people to disagree, but I just want to know what kind of thoughts do people bring into night lives.

Thoughts: People need to find better things to do. Are all asian guys horny? haha

Friday night was an interesting night. Had to do farewell party for 2 people at once. One leaving White Clarke and One leaving for Canada. You two have my best wishes, may success be with you in any future endeavors.

Saturday turns out to be a more relaxing day. Mom and I were suppose to attend my piano teacher’s wedding. We were contacted earlier this week but not given the time or location; all we knew was that it’s going to be on Saturday. We waited but nada… Too disappointed.

Sunday was good, I finally got my Mac Mini back to working order and was able to put Windows XP on it and run it very very smoothly. VPN works too, I’m very happy Though hopefully I don’t have to VPN into work that much.

Thoughts: Facebook should be retired from my safari bookmark… It’s about midnight, I should sleep.

List of things that happened

1. Camping trip - completed
2. Condo hunting - in progress
3. Upgrade my Mac mini - in progress
4. Rant on driving and people in general

1 - Camping Trip
The location was Pinery Provincial Park, it was a very good weekend, we were only 5 minutes away from the beach. Fresh air and fresh water. Water was too cold for me to play in so I didn’t swim. But crazy coworkers went for some late night dips… o_o Our activities could only be summarized in 3 little things… EAT, SLEEP and DRINK (maybe pee too)

2 - Condo Hunting
The hunting is not really going anywhere. Most of the condo designs look about the same, only occasionally the odd one where things aren’t really in the right places. Example. Master bedroom and second bedroom are constructed right next to each other and located in the center of the suite and then the two washrooms are constructed side by side next to the entrance of the suite… Interesting design but weird instead. As for condo hunting, there are way too much to choose from, but ultimately, it comes down to affordable prices… Which aren’t enough choices… This weekend we shall start looking for town houses and houses. Good luck to us all.

3 - Upgrade Mac Mini
So lately I started to get very annoyed by the slow performance of my Mac. I start to use more and more programs on the system and the performance goes slower and slower. I decided to wage my first mac certified RAM from the website, http://www.canadaram.com/ , and I order 2 Gigs of ram To m dismay, one stick turns out to be defective, I emailed them on a Sunday night and they replied 1 hour after promising they will exchange the ram for free (I’m liking them already). Now I will await the other stick of ram to arrive and do few more tests My mac is going to turn out to be a great system. BOOYA!

4 - General Rants
Recently on the roads I almost got myself into car accidents. And the thing is I was only driving straight, no lights no stops and no turns either, and other cars will just swerve into my lane and just cut me off blindly… One day driving to work saw a Subaru totaled on the side of the road, the young Chinese girl driver was crying on the side of the road, on the cell phone too… I feel bad for her but someone is obviously at fault, I just don’t know what… Then the day after a small car got into a crazy collision with a TTC bus. Holy cow, I mean it’s a bus, it only stops at an intersection and what does it take to realize a bus is coming and you still get into its way… o_o Then on the news there are teens that drives and kill other drivers on the road.. sadly I hope anyone that can’t drive should stay off the road and never to touch a car for the rest of their lives… arg arg… RANT - DONE!

Thoughts: I haven’t done anything for the whole morning yet, I’m such a BIG slacker…

Everyone from the office that is going to camp is getting super excited about it.  Me on the other hand is still waiting for the excitement to kick in.  Wait, maybe it already kicked in, I already have the gears ready in my trunk, now I’m just waiting for 5pm on Friday to get the kick off done.

Hmm.. what else are happening…  Oh cousin William got married 3 days ago, congratz to them.  Greg is getting married in July, and Dalin is getting in August… OMG o_O

Thoughts: <3 bb

This week had not been the most exciting week to date but I’m surviving…  One fun thing I did was to go to the baseball game at Rogers Centre (formerly known as the Sky Dome, I prefer the old name more).  It was the 3rd game between the Jays and them Yankees.  Yankees kicked Jays butts pretty hard that night, 10 to 5 runs!  But aside from that, the Taiwanese super star, Wang, didn’t show up for the pitcher position.  Kinda sad, but it was still a very good game.

Thoughts: There are way too many cars and car accidents on the way to and back from work… YES, weekend is here!
