Snow!

It hasn't snowed yet but soon it will. The forecast calls for snow tomorrow so I decided to take an hour out of my busy schedule today to put my winters on the car today and remove the 18's with summer slicks off. I didn't want to be caught in the snow with them on as I would most likely curb them on the first day of snow when I'm sliding all over the roads. It was a lot more work then I expected but I got the task done with a bit of help from Tuyet and the bro (help is always awesome). They are now in storage and I am set for the winter! Good news is that they are on now, even better news is that I didn't lose any fingers in the process :D

Sony Ericsson K800i

This is what I ended up getting Tuyet for her birthday. I even bought her a screen protector heh. It's quite an awesome phone and I thought it was going to be "one of a kind" for awhile, but apparently Rogers is bringing it to it's line up (well a similar one the k790) in November...boourns. Oh well it will still be a rare k800i in North America. Specs are available from here. I chose the Sony Ericsson brand because after buying my w810i and just absolutely loving it. The w810i has a 2.0mp camera, expandable memory slot and a mp3 player! I loved it because it was 3 devices in one and meant I could carry less in my pockets. I've been using it for 3-4 months now and have no complaints so I thought I couldn't go wrong with the k800 which is an even fancier version of the w810i. Hopefully I am not wrong :D I hope you enjoy it!

Busy Busy Busy

Midterms, assignments, quizzes...I am going crazy. This sememster has really been taking a toll on me. Only 1 1/2 months left, I just have to get over the midterm hump of this month and then it's smooth sailing from there onto finals. I can do it!

Yeah this was a weaksauce attempt at getting any kind of inspiration/motivation to get through this midterm season...

At least I tried :D

Friday, October 13th

Exactly 10 years ago from this day I crashed my first car (badly). I bent the control arm, bashed in the front of my bumper, popped my 2 front tires and had my life flash before my eyes. I won't get into the details but all I have to say is....poor stop sign, it never did anything to me but try to save my life from oncoming traffic. And on that fateful night I plowed into it. I remember the horror I felt that night and I will NEVER EVER be that reckless again...EVER, and so far in the past 10 years I have lived up to my word.

Anyways thinking back makes me think of all the good times my first car gave me and all the hardships it put on me just from breaking down all the time! It was a 1992 Hyundai Scoupe, click here for specs. 81hp! haha. I owned the car for 2 years (96-98) and it was such a beater (partly from the way I treated it), but for a car of only 4 years old it acted like it was 10+ years (just from all the breaking down of parts). It was laid to rest in the early Winter of 98 when an idiot rear ended me hard on the way to school and it became a right off.

Mine was exactly the same as this one, well mine was black, but besides that it looked exactly like this. Heh now seeing this I sorta want to buy one as a winter beater. I'm sure I could find one for $500 and maybe this time around I'll have a bit better luck with it (since I will definitely treat it 100x better than I did with the previous one).

What a weekend...

While you were all stuffing your faces with Turkey I was sleeping and resting. I ended up catching a slight stomach flu Thursday night and basically slept all Friday (cuz I was so tired from puking) and rested all Saturday. Which also meant I missed out on celebrating Tuyet's Birthday...Happy Birthday Tuyet! I did give her a present though but it's just not the same when you don't go out and celebrate it as well. We will postpone celebrations for the weekend of the 21st. So prepare yourself for some fun hunny!

To top it off, I cut myself badly when I was installing my new Dryflow AEM filter earlier today. I cut myself on top of my left thumb and I could see the bone when I pulled the cut apart. At first it didn't hurt but then the adrenaline started to wear off and I really though I was going to faint. But a bit of fresh air and sitting down helped prevent that. Anyways my Dad and Tuyet took me to the medi-clinic so I could get stitches, but instead of the convential thread and needle they glued me together (literally) using "glustitch", it's rather neat.


So since I cut myself on metal (and it was a deep wound) I will have to go get a Tetanus shot now at the end of the week or next Monday to prevent infection. Booo! I'll have to look into getting mechanics gloves now just to be on the safe side.

Anyways I hope everyone had a good Turkey Day and stuffed themselves a bit extra for me!

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

As much homework as I may have, I still somehow find time for a bit of video gaming. Anyways I bought Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for the Xbox 360 last night and played a bit of it today with my bro and we were both impressed. The game play is great with a 2 player co-op option and the game follows the Star Wars episodes IV, V and VI. Why did I buy this game? Well I bought EA's NHL 07 just last week and after trying it a few times with Kent, we both came to a conclusion that the game sucks just like it does every other year and the suck factor increased even more with the "new controls". So pick up Lego Star Wars II and forget about EA's NHL 07.

October Already?

Dang did September ever go by fast! Hopefully October doesn't go by as quickly (and I hope its not too cold), Perhaps she can ensure the latter :D

Mariah She's on Fire!

Last night I took the girl friend to the Mariah Carey concert and it was awesome! Busta Rhymes opened up for her, so that he could promote his new cd "The Big Bang" and he was fantastic, even though the crowd wasn't very receptive to him. Then Mariah came on and her showwomanship was spectacular...and that voice is incredible. I got goosebumps when she hit her high notes in Dreamlover and got them again when she hit her high notes on other songs that she peformed last night. She didn't perform all of her songs but she did do the crowd favourites. All in all it was a fantastic night. What topped it off (of course) was being able to enjoy it with Tuyet, but the "cherry on top" was all the "hoochies" that attended. I haven't even seen that many fake boobies since I was in Vegas!

Shake it off!!!

Little Star!

Uber Geek!

So sitting at my mac today working on some organic chem questions, I realized that I needed a periodic table but didn't have a decent paper version. So I googled it up and found one! Now I have the periodic table as my desktop wallpaper on my bigger monitor, heh its fantatsic!

Check it out!


Here's the periodic table I used for the desktop :D

*HONK*

With the US Open on TV these past few days I thought this is a funny picture to post up of Andy Roddick sexually harassing Mandy Moore back in 2004. Andy Roddick is now my hero :D

Crikey!

As most of you know by now, Steve Irwin at the age of 44 died on Monday after being stung in the chest by a sting ray while he was doing a documentary on them. Apparently his death was caught on camera, store here. I will miss him, his personality was very entertaining. I send my condolences to his wife and 2 kids he left behind. Rest in Peace Steve Irwin.
