CNE, Canadian National Exhibition, is opening in less than a week, I happened to walk by while they were assembling the various rides and booths.

Very interesting to see how the rides fold together and for transporting to different venues.



Advanced tickets are $11, anyone interested?

Reading week for the poor Engineering students! However, my school just loves to put midterms right after the break to keep us on our toes. Well I had to get my ‘fix’ of snowboarding for the season. We went to Blue Mountain, a great view over the Georgian Bay area.

Weather wise it was -1DegC (a little warm), shallow layer of powder but icy at some slopes.


Pouyan’s ski mask reminded me of the Arctic Avengers from CS!

I love ski-lifts, they are so relaxing and you can see so much from up top.

A collision between Pouyan and Justin! Skiers have the most spectacular wipe outs with their gear scattered all over the hill.

We did almost 12hrs of ski/snowboarding and totaled about 40-50 runs. We were really tired on the way back…

With over 35 people registered on 2 teams, the trons with their red jerseys have made quite a name for ourselves.
Enter “Captain Saro and the Planeteers”! Led by Saro and each has a power of earth, wind, water, fire and heart, this team is full of spirit and good times.

Half-time. We need to stick to our positions and get to the ball first.

Planeteers aside, team “Ludwik And Anthony’s Most Excellent Adventure Team … United” is armed to the teeth going for the glory. I don’t know how Fatin got his leg stuck so high.

Aaron, our goalie, scored a goal in the first game…go figure.

Yesterday I was trying to find excuses not to study so I checked out the snowboarding store in the University plaza. I ended up going with Ian and walked out with a new set of Burton Command SI bindings and boots.

Now I can have more distractions tweaking and mounting them onto my board!
The workload is definitely getting heavier with lab reports and design projects. Also, midterms in 2 weeks. Yikes.
