5 am update
I just got back from a 2 week vacation in Hong Kong earlier this week and wow, what an unbelievably great trip! Unfortunately, one of the side effects of traveling halfway around the world is being up at 5 in morning right now. So what better way to pass the time until the rest of the family wakes than to →
wisdom from a nine year old
I attend this small group every other Saturday that is basically made up of university students mainly from SCBC (one other person & I are the exceptions). We meet at our leaders' beautiful condo down at the lakefront. The leaders are actually really good family friends and it's kind of cool how I got connected to this small group. But →
ramblings from a hotel lobby
So I've already been up for 7 hours (minus the hour and a half I was asleep on the plane) now and it's only 11 in the morning. Good ol' 7 am flights forcing you to leave the house at 4 am. So I'm in St. Louis now for the tri-annual Urbana conference. Except I'm not quite there yet. As →
warm fuzzies
when you have your first drink of the day and the way you can feel it just travel through and coat your insides getting a phone call from a good friend a good piece of stinky cheese putting on a warm pair of worn-in jeans fresh from the dryer hot chocolate with some good friends getting mail, real mail, not credit card bills or junk →
weekends are too short
So many distractions: youtube, late night ice cream, world series, melted cheesey goodness on toast, nhl, chillin', the list goes on. If only these things weren't so enjoyable, maybe, just maybe I'd get more work done. But I wouldn't trade the chill times for anything (save for the big JC). More than the owning/barely-passing/failing of tests, doing a job well →
long weekends and patio nights
It's been a while since I've written anything, so here's a little update. Went home last weekend for the long weekend. Lots of fun and rest. Good home cooking. Saw Talladega nights with Jeff & Peters. Good times. "Watch your mouth, you little pot-licker, or I'll throw you in a microwave!" :) Ran into Phil at the train station and →
so ends an era…
Toronto's population has gone down by one. Seems kind of insignificant considering the GTA has a population of over 5 million. But the one that has left is no other than Derek Cheng. He left yesterday. He has gone back to his homeland in HK and left an unfillable hole here in TO. To many, he was a great friend and →
i’m singing in the rain (well, not really, but that’s how I feel!)
These past 2 days have been awesome. It all started with Future Blue Day yesterday at IBM. Good times with all the other interns, taking a day off, playing games together, eating BBQ, going on a scavenger, just good times, even if it was raining intermitently. Then came the adventure worship practice downtown. Got picked up by Gizelle in the middle of one of →
missions, markers, & menus
Saw MI3 with Gizelle last night. Awesome movie, definitely recommend it to everyone, especially Alias fans. It was like watching a 2 hour long Alias episode. Go Marshal MI3 equivalent! Sooo good, even if Tom Cruise is a little crazy outside his movies. Had another Brazil missions trip meeting this afternoon. Lots of fun! We put the camp schedule on 4 →
