Just Work

I'm at work SO late these days. I'm starting to think that if I don't take a picture of work, I won't have anything left to take a picture of for the Monday to Friday week. Well here's one of the few pictures I'm going to take of work:


Notice how there's no cars? No... it's not because I parked at the furtherest parking spot. It's because everyone has already left the office. Well... I did work out after work. It was great. Did 20 minutes ellipical and burned off 263 calories. Also did my usual circuit of machines and light floor work.

    Volunteering

    Yesterday I went to the Bell Call Centre around Scarborough Town Centre to volunteer for the Canadians for Tsunami Relief. This is the lunch area where we waited and received training:


    There was a little model of the Bell Call Centre too:


    After that it was off to lunch at Scarborough Town for lunch. We passed by the EB store and I saw this:



    So cool! Have you planned Halo 2 yet?
    My sis picked me up after lunch and got me this from Mc Donald's:


    It was one of those new toasted sandwiches from Mc Donald's. This was the turkey one. I had it when I was at work later that day. It was alright but not something I'd get regularly.

    Slippery Day

    Another snowfall, another slippery day on the roads. Nothing special happened today so I just took a picture from my car:


    Traffic wasn't too bad so I got to work at the same normal time and got home as quickly as usual.

    Improved Images

    Today was the first day back to work for me since before Christmas. My phone also came in today as well, the Nokia 6230b:


    I don't think a lot of people reading this share the same enthusiasm as I do for this phone.
    Well, there is at least some good for you. You get improved image quality compared to what I had before. Take a look at these following pics.
    Taken with the T616:


    This was taken with the Nokia 6230b:


    The image above was reduced in size for better comparison.

    Even More Shopping

    If you thought our shopping adventure was over then you're wrong. After that we went to another mall:


    This mall doesn't look that nice but I think my blurry pictures and tricky angles make it look nice. This was the Boulevard Mall just a few minutes drive from the Rainbow Bridge. There wasn't much to see but it did look nice:


    After that, it was already 7 something so we crossed the border into Canada to have dinner. There wasn't any hassle since we kept below the allowable.
    Here's some clues at where we were having dinner:


    Can you guess? Here's the actual sign of the place:


    It's at the Niagara Casino! Yeah... it was sad. We spent a lot of money on shopping, we have to win our dinner. Just kidding, this place had a $20 buffet. It was a 1h long line up so it better be good. This is a picture of the floor as I waited:


    It isn't as confusing and dizzy looking like the ones in Las Vegas. I read that they make it dizzying so you would not look down. Of course you then see the blinking casino lights and that's suppose to draw you in. Anyways, it didn't have any effect on me since I could use coins in my pocket to play. I had to convert them to tokens. Back to food. Once we got in, there were a lot of seats empty and the waitress was nice. They had yummy roast beef, alaska crab legs, shrimp, hmmm... that's all I remember as tasting good. Not much veggies so it's a guy kind of buffet.
    I drove back through a hard rain storm. It was very tiring but we did it in 1.25h.

    Buffalo Trip Continued

    If you thought that was my whole trip, you're wrong... the mall has so many more stores. There was the Apple Store:


    I was playing around with the powerbook... I'd have to say WOW. I love the bluetooth built right into the laptop. I wish I had a bluetooth dongle for my computer. I was also playing with their Ipods... they aren't as user friendly as I thought they would be. I couldn't figure out how to navigate through the music list. I guess I'm getting old. Next I saw so many Microsoft Office boxes:


    Very nice packaging. Make me want to buy one even though I don't own an Apple. I hear from people that they're going to be opening an Apple store at Yorkdale. Might be as soon as this summer since I hear they're already hiring to fill positions.
