Life in Waterloo

September 26, 2006


Here is an example of what happens when I am bored in class: this is Ludwik’s eraser:
After Brandon got a hold of it…

Ludwik trying to be a rockstar. Nice try…

Trying to feed 5 grown up boys can be a chore! This is last Saturday’s breakfast made by Ludwik and I to prepare for the double header soccer game.

Weekend In TO!

September 21, 2006

Home during the weekend was fun and at the same time, busy.

Friday night we went over to Kathy’s house and the ladies made chocolate fondue while the boys played smash bro in the living room. Too bad we didn’t get very far on the ‘heart-to-heart’ talks. haha.

Saturday we had dinner with my Aunt and Cousin. My cousin is a bit older and I often feel I am in the same generation as his kids.

They were initially pretty shy but after some running around and hiding toys we were making more noise than all the parents added togehter!

Sunday, my friend Alan Ma is interested in doing some modelling for a company recruiting on UofT campus. So him, Kathy, and I went to Yonge and Sheppard area to take some shots to send in.
I was my first time taking modelling shots and it was pretty fun. None of us really knew what we were doing but with some discussion and Kathy’s vast knowledge in fashion magazines we pulled off some shots. If anyone is looking for a model, I can provide Alan’s contact info.

I skipped school on Monday because I had a photoshoot at Buskro, my first co-op workplace. It was fun to visit the office and catch up with people that I worked with one and a half year ago. Some of the manuals that I had compiled are still in the same version! haha

Back In Loo

September 12, 2006


So I have moved into loo and this term I am off campus living with 4 other classmates.
The first day we were there our landlord informed us that we are lucky to have power in the house since the prior tenants had disconnected everything. As a result we had no phone, gas (hot water), and internet.

Sunday I went to The Father’s House, met RT and caught up with her for a bit. Afterward they had a picnic + baseball game at Waterloo park so I dropped by for a little bit.

Home run!

It is going to be tough this term. There are so many lab courses and three of the five courses have a big project due somewhere in the term. One of them is a real-time OS and one is making our own sensors and stuff for a robot.

Yesterday I was working deliently in DC, hacking away at my stupid work report. Trying to get the proper format across all the pages is like catching fleas. As soon as you fix one spot another problem arises!
At midnight the library is closing so I got kicked out. I went outside but discovered that my bike has been stolen! I had forgotten my lock and had borrowed a small lock from Ludwik and I guess it wasn’t enough to protect my bike. The guy who stole my bike better start praying cause if I catch him……

I am going to plant a remote controlled bomb under the seat of the bike so I can press a button and blow the thief out of the gene-pool for good.

Ohh well, I got bigger things to worry about. Like today in our FIRST lesson of Linear Signals and Systems class, I didn’t understand anything for the last 45 minutes.
