first honk

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

Been driving my rsx since June 04. For the first time on the road, I had to use the horn. While on my way back from school today, a stupid driver decide to slowly drift over the lines onto my lane on a mild curve close enough to scretch the side of my car. For hell’s sake, it’s 5 lane road, 2 for each direction with a middle lane….how stupid do you have to be to not be able to keep to your own lane.

guilt or growth?

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

I’m one of those people who download mp3s and occationally movies. Recently I’ve been purchasing the dvds and cds of those entertainment which I downloaded. If I already have the songs/movies then why should I make the purchase?….To support the artist? to do what’s morally correction? You are asking the wrong guy. Guess I just want something that I’d be proud to put in my own collection of stuff I like.

Recent purchases:

audio: PennyTai - Pennyland

audio: Michael (Kwong leung) - Fairy Tale  (less than I expected, but worth getting just for the bonus vcd)

movie: Garden State (I’d already lost count the times I watch it)

movie: The Incredibles (the jack-jack attack was over hyped. Boundin’ was worth watching. yes I like jackalopes)

movie: Ghost World (no, it’s not a horror flick. Scarlett Johansson looks better when she’s not blond.)

movie: Napoleon Dynamite (wow, a MTV related movie that doesn’t suck, I’m in shock. Anyway, it’s a good one. Rare to see a film these days that’s profanity, nudity, and violence free. Flippin’ cool! oh yea vote for Pedro!)

…think I will put up a list of dvds in my collection soon

List of reasons why I don’t have a gf

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

1. I’m not very comfortable with my own existence.

2. I have a twisted view on moral. Basically, my sense of moral is base purely on freedom, so I do what I see fit.

3. I don’t like kids. Partially because I don’t want to pass on my twisted morals onto anyone.

4. I lack immediate emotional response. I’m the kind of person who likes to think before I speak and I usually analyze my vocal response 10 or more times so it takes a while.

5. I don’t like to apologize for anything, hence I respond so slowly. If I don’t offend anyone to start with, I pretty much never have to apologize.

6. I have very little practice in social physical contact. Last time I had a hug was from an instructor in my old college. He was proud that I turn out so well mastering a freakish spectrum of skills in the media arts.

7. I speak way too softly. Partially due to a low confidence issue and a lot to do with trying to separate myself from my father. He’s not a person I look up to, and he is usually loud and obnoxious.

8. With the less than usual distance I have with my relatives, I find it difficult to empathis with emotions other people have with their relatives.

9. Low self esteem, a lot of times, I find myself unworthy of anything.

10. I like to dwell in my own sadness. Not for pitty, in fact I despise pitty.

….this is getting way too personal, I’m just gonna stop at 10

List of stuff novice/basic computer user shouldn’t do

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

Inspire to write this after a computer maintainance job this week.

1. Play with peer to peer software when you don’t have the protection.

2. Disable the damn built in firewall.

3. Install anti-spyware tool without removing the existing one. (no dumbass, just because you have 2, doesn’t mean it’s safer.)

4. Install beta software when you are not an expert of that app or a chosen tester

5. Visite porn sites,  cruel but hey, 90% of the time that’s how viruses are spread

6. Use windows XP pro, if you are a home user, use the home edition because you are too dumb to fiddle with the functions in the pro edition.

…I know there are more, I will add to this later on, feel free to give some input.

an expected reunion

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

Satarday night, last weekend before summer sem starts, nothing better to do so the guys and I went to watch a movie. After the movie, one of the guys ask if I would join some friends for drinks. Sure I said. So we met up with a couple of other people from the old high school.  Ok…7 people at a table can hardly be called a reunion, but it’s rare to see everyone at the same table. Most of the people I know, and some don’t. Apparently they were in the same year, same school, same everything, I just didn’t know them. Well….maybe I knew them, I just don’t remember. High school wasn’t exactly a pleasant memory for me, so I have a tendency to leave those memory in that deep deep place in my head where it’s difficult to draw out. Anyway when I got home, I took out the old year book and looked up the names of the people at the gathering tonight. Indeed I found their photos. Reading the stuff I wrote in my year book makes me kinda sad. Guess happiness just wasn’t writen in the stars for me, curse of the surpressive pefectionist. I spend more effort and time in what I do, and I don’t like to admit it. Onward to another day of whatever…

another boring day

Friday, May 6th, 2005

Nothing much happened today. Went to some guy’s house to do computer maintanance,….argh…damn thing was filled with spyware. When I was done with that, it was around 2, still early, so I went shopping for a new pair of boots. My old ones are really wearned out, it was a good 3 years. Hush Puppy make good boots. Anyway my news ones are pretty nice too. I like the buckles on it but since I wearn jeans over them, you won’t likely to ever see them.  As usual, went to skating class around 7:30. You know a well sharpened pair of skates is very important, I can do so much more now. In class we learned the flip jump. I’d already learned that last season but who cares, I’m just there for fun. Next week we’ll be learning the loop jump. The instructor sounded very confident that we will be able to get it in class. I don’t believe that, I’ve been trying that jump last season for 4 weeks and I still can’t get it.

George on Queen East

Thursday, May 5th, 2005

Had a really nice dinner tonight @ George. No idea why it’s name George, It’s not the head Chef’s name. Anyway they have great food. I had a 4 course meal. Everything was great, the only negative common would be the slightly overcooked scalopes. The service was just as good, 80% of the time, the bus boy remember to serve from the left. My fav of the 4 courses would be dessert, chocolate custard cake….hmmmm….yum…Second to that would be the second, what can I say… I LOVE MONKFISH LIVER. I would totaly recommend this place to anyone. You’d be expecting around $80-100 per head. It’s worth every dollar.  ; )

stuff about birthdays

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005

I’ve never actually like much about my own birthdays. It’s been all the same since grade 4. Friend come over to my house, have some food, do some video gaming, and the typical cake and song. It gets tiresome. Eventually, think around my 20th, I stopped celebrating at all. I simply don’t find much to celebrate about my birth, considering I’m a product of tradition. Anyway recent years, my birthday to me became an execuse to try out new restaurants (good and expensive ones). What’s good? I enjoy it; only a selected few will be there so I don’t feel pressure to entertaint people; good food. What’s bad? friends in distant places can’t participate,…..guess that’s all. Maybe some of you (who ever my readers might me, if any) are asking, "what about the presents?".  I don’t care much about presents. Though I did recieve something nice last years, (thx Mars). Don’t know where I will dine this year. I really want to go to Heshimoto’s again, it’s around the time of the year when they have sakura mochi, but I might decide to try something new instead. If you are my friend and reading this, sorry don’t mean to leave you out, but most friends of mine are not into fine dinning. I’m just not inviting you so you won’t feel pressured to do stuff I want to do. (and spend the $$ I’m willing to spend, it’s usually around $80+ per head at the places I dine for special occations).  Write me a message if you want to come. I don’t mind dinning with strangers, as long as you enjoy tasty food.

sigh…

Read my friend’s blog today, they had a pot luck gathering a few days ago. Maybe I could do something like that with my friends…..oh wait, most of them don’t cook or just don’t know how to cook……bah…..

I’m still searching for something more…mature to do before school starts and I will be surrounded with jokes about farts and what not. I’m almost 27, those jokes kinda died out a few years back.  ~_~

…bah

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

after finishing some modification to the site I was working on. (read last post) I decided to do some 3D modeling. With no goals yet, and not even an image in my mind of what I’m about to create, I just started modeling a car free hand. …man it must be the ugliest car I’ve ever modeled. None of it’s lines looked right…heck I didn’t even think about what kind of car I wanted to make. The thing turned out with too short of a front end and too short of a back end. I have no idea where the hell will the engine go. gotta remind myself never model free hand…..it’s so discouraging to see such shit created with my own hands….  ~_~  must delete that file….. been running so low on creativity these days. where’s muse when you need one.  more to the point, where’s my muse?
