Very Hot Sunday

I didn't end up going to Church today... yes... bad me... I slept in and worked at my office. Look at what a mess it is:


I didn't get much of my work done cuz soon after I set up, I had to go for lunch with my parents. Later that day I went to pacific mall to pick up the mini cruzer that I said I'd get. I ended up getting a 256MB on for $50. Not too cheap but reasonable price at the time.


Then it was off to hot pot with friends at:


It was very good! We had crab, squid balls, oysters, shrimps, beef, lamb, egg nog stuff, veggies, cuddlefish, mussel, and dumplings. I am SOOO full as I'm writing this. I don't know how I'll sleep with such a full stomach or even work this food off. We then took a short walk around this mall:


Let's just say that no walk could clear my stomach. Not sure if your recognize what mall this is. Too bad everything was closed.

6 Day Week!

Today was another day at work. Things have been super busy at work and I haven't had time to live the lap of luxury. Let me see... I've been meaning to go to Pacific Mall to pick up one of these:


I didn't end up going because of work but I did end up here:


Can you guess where I was?

Car in the shop again

So today I brought the Corolla into the dealer again. Hopefully this time it's the last. My mom's 4Runner was also into the shop today. The only car left in our inventory is our 1989 corolla. If I had a pic I'd put it up... but i tend to ignore that car. I'm wondering if I should even consider Toyotas for my next car. You probably know I've been eyeing the Mazda 6 for a while now


I thought I'd be getting it when my old corolla died... seems like that won't be the next car to die after reflecting on today.

Pushing it to the MAX

I've been very busy at work lately so I don't have many exciting stories to tell this time. Perhaps when the weekend starts again. Well, some of you may know what powers the photos on my blog. It's the Sony Ericsson T616 if you didn't know. When I got my phone, it had enough battery life to last a bit over 3 days with moderate use consisting of a couple short calls and playing with the camera. Right now, I've conditioned the batter to last over 6 days! This what the battery status looked after 4 days of use:


I'm really glad it's lasting longer than 3 days. My friend told me he gets a whole week on a battery so I'm catching up.

A nice sunday

Today was just one of those great Sundays that I get a lot done. I woke up early to get to Church. This is where I go:


The sermon was about the sow. To sum it up, it's about having a good foundation (soil) so the person (seed) will grow well spiritually.
After Church is was off to the much hyped Vaughan Mills. Close your eyes if you don't want a preview. The exit ramp was very packed and a LOT of cars in the parking lot. But thanks to GOd, we quickly found a parking spot. Here's the entrance.


It was already 11:30am so we decided to grab lunch before starting our shopping. Lining up for food was crazy as well. Don't even think about going to the major franchises like A&W. Those looks like 30min line ups. We got something like Bourbons Grill. The food court:


While walking the mall, you saw the usual stores like Espirit, The Children's Store, and EB so I didn't take a picture of them. There were things stuff in the middle of the mall:


Yeah... I am a bit shaky, but with all the children around, I didn't want some parent to think I was taking a picture of their child. With this camera, even if I tried to do that, it would come out as a big blur.
We slowly got to the biggest store... or at least the biggest store you can see from Highway 400. It was the Outdoor store:


The theme was everywhere inside as well:



There was a sea plane that hung overhead as well but I forgot to take a picture of it. I realized while inside the store that I shouldn't be taking pictures cuz at some places they don't like people copying their designs since they paid so much money to have someone design it for them. But too late ;)
After I went to the best place in the whole mall:


I wonder if you can figure out where that was.
Then it was more of the mall and this:


We didn't quite finish walking the mall but we'd been there for quite a while. Too bad I didn't pick up anything.

Back on Schedule

Hey everyone reading my Blog! It's back to schedule now. Lately, I've been very busy with things in my life. This week I worked 51h. I'm going crazy. I want to work out tomorrow but it doesn't look like I'll have the time. After work I went to my sis' Golden Key International Honour Society induction ceremony. Here's a pic:


Can you guess where it is?
After getting back home I finished off some work work. Hopefully this weekend I can go do some shopping. I need a crossover cable for my work laptop.

Different

My cell phone buzzes once, I know it's a text message so I quickly look... it's only Rogers advertisement.
I look into my wallet and it feels thinner... remembering it's by my bear now.
The beautiful sunlight I see looking out the window reminds me of the summer just gone by... and Baskin Robbins rum raisin milk shake.
My MSN... I barely use it anymore.
I don't know... another cryptic blog for me.
