What the bug?

September 5, 2010

Found this interesting bug while out in the backyard today. It seems to have characteristics from a few different species, maybe they are conspiring against us with a super advanced species!


It was trying very hard to cling onto the fence but eventually the wind swept it away.

Terracotta Workers

July 15, 2010

Archaeologists discovered the tireless Moon Sand workers at a factory situated at Zhongshan, Guangdong (中山市, 廣東).


The numbers are estimated to be in the thousands and continue to multiply!

Flying out tomorrow to Toronto, Karen is getting married!

First Snow of 2008

November 18, 2008

It is always so quiet and peaceful after snowfall. The blanket of snow give everything a new surface.


Lester Street. I predict in a few years all these houses would be torn down and be replaced by high-rise apartments.

Some interesting images while walking around.

With 2 weeks of classes left before finals, the sports teams also concluded their seasons. All of our teams got into playoff and it was a great season.

Our 4A soccer team photo, too bad a portion of the people couldn’t make it due to labs and such.

Here are some ‘interesting’ outtakes while I was setting up!

Kimchi Diet

October 25, 2008

So a while ago, we realized that Kimchi is getting fat. AJung performed the fat test (see if his can fit all his legs into the shell) and Kimchi failed spectacularly.


The instructions on the turtle food container suggested “Feed as much as the turtle can consume for 15minutes.” Well Kimchi can probably finish the entire container in 15minutes. When he is not eating he hugs the water heater and dozes off.

Being very clever engineers and a little bored from studying we designed a ‘motivational’ exercise machine for Kimchi.

The problem is that Kimchi also likes to jump off tables so we ended up doing more exercise to prevent him from committing suicide.

Once we put him back in the water he quickly figured out how to get his food. Back to the drawing board again!
