miss opportunist

2007-08-28T15:37:00.000-04:00

this title is not right... miss opportunist doesn't make any sense... what i am trying to say here is that, i have missed so many opportunities... and later regard about it... and those are range from important decision to small little everyday thing... i don't want to say any important one here, since they are in fact... important... and important stuffs may not be good to be on a blog... but i sure can give small little everyday thing... like... for the photo contest... i want to take picture of the ex at night... from across the canal... it's actually really nice at night with all the lights on... i drive by it almost every two days... and never actually do it... and finally i tried to do that on monday... and the ex was already ended... another example... dslr... the option to get a nikon d80 body with a wider range lens was always there... and i ended up getting a d40 kits and two lens... where i could get a better camera with just a little bit more money... anyways... i think too much...

anyways.. check this out

sens new uniforms - part two

2007-08-25T14:15:00.000-04:00

so nicole and i went to see the senators' new jerseys & logo unveiling ceremony on wednesday at the bank... since she is a really big leaf fans, it was fun to tease her and hear her trash talking about the sens... and yes... she is indeed a leafs fans, she can even trash talk like one... anyways... the ceremony really has one purpose... unveil the new jerseys & logo... so you can see it is not overly exciting beside seeing the four players... there were really not much there... a live band... games... face painting... the prince of wales trophy... some old old players signing autographs... those were all out side the bank... most people get in the bank early to get good seats and the coupon for the sens army t-shirt... so most people, myself and nicole included, ended up seating inside for over an hour... watching old clips of players... but the clips are really short... and played in a loop.. so we ended up watching every clips like twenty times... so the most excited part was when spezza, kelly, neil and mcgrattan came out with the new jerceys... they didn't even do a cat walk... anyways... i think it would be better if they do that on ice... show the uniform... and play a red vs white game... here is the link to the new uniform...

sens new uniforms

2007-08-21T23:30:00.000-04:00

the sens is unveiling the new uniforms tomorrow at the bank... here is the link to it... there is going to be band, player and the prince of wales trophy... free t-shirts give aways...

so I saw superbad again today... it's still great... what a good movie... too bad no one want to see stardust with me today... it's a good movie too as i heard... it's rating got higher again now on imdb... right now it's rated eight point three out of ten... which is now number two hundred and twenty-one at the top two hundred and fifty...

here are the catches of the day:

friend game

2007-08-18T11:12:00.000-04:00

does anyone remember there was game on facebook called "friend game"??... it is a game that asks you a question about a friend of yours on facebook and you have to pick the answer out of the five friends given to you within a time limit... it was located under the "friends" tap and behind the "social timeline" sub-tap... but it's not there anymore... you can still access it by this, but i don't know why they took it out from the menus...

and you know that little facebook link with my network and picture on the side of the blog?? there used to be a link on my facebook to change the setting on that... and now it's gone... i was trying to find the link to it on facebook blog... but i couldn't find it... i don't know how to edit it!!...

anyways... as you can see... i am clearly spending waaaaaay too much time on this... and not doing what i suppose to do... like applying for jobs... and study although software stuffs i need to know for interviews... right now... i am kind of like this:

life is short

2007-08-17T03:57:00.000-04:00

my sister showed me this:

be friends with forsberg

2007-08-17T02:45:00.000-04:00

so the senators is chasing forsberg... the links are here and here... here is quote of murray from ottawa sun that i found really funny: "There should be a number of reasons why we'd be one of the teams he may be interested in joining. I hope he thinks we have a good team, that we got to the final and we have a chance to do it again, and I think Daniel Alfredsson is his friend. I think there are things in our favour."

wouldn't it be really awkward if alfie and forsberg ain't friends?? and also... if i remeber correctly... i don't recall they even played on the same line in the sweden national team... now the canucks is also interested in forsberg... and tried to use naslund and the twins' influence... i think canucks would be a better fit for forsberg tho... imagine him centering the twins... wow... anyways... it's too early to tell now... it would be cool to see him playing for ottawa... for cheap of course...

garfbag is dying

2007-08-15T15:01:00.001-04:00

i haven't check the traffic or hit count of the garfbag for such a long time... ever since i moved to kingston... not like i updated it a lot since then... and i finally got to check it... and man it's sad:

blue vs black

2007-08-15T13:29:00.000-04:00

okay guys, i am not being racist here... and i am no putting my "white view" on others.... in short i am not a racist white... haha... anyways... why do people make black pens?? i guess it makes sense since some people prefer black pens over blues... but why do people give out free black pens?? like in conferences, trade shows, job fairs... or even hotels... blue pens are sooo much better then black pens for general purpose... blue is much easier on the eyes, maybe not as much on a hand written note or essay... but definitely on forms... where the form was printed in black... what about writing cheques... it may not be much, but a cheque written in blue still provide more security then one written in blue...

okay... i am bitching about his because i was trying to fill out a health care plan claim form and i pulled out four "free" pens from my drawer and all of them are black...

on a happier thought... apparently there is an error in NASA's methods for recording us temperatures, so now the hottest year is nineteen thirty-four and not nineteen ninety-night.

american cares about iran

2007-08-13T15:09:00.000-04:00

american cares about iran, why? on last friday's 1 vs 100, four out of twenty people in the mob get the question "who is the current president of iran?" right... although the three answers given were some what obvious... but still... it some what show that american are not as ignorant as some people suggested...

and since some people namely lado complain about i posting too much stuffs on someone's, namely abes' facebook wall... i am will try to cut down on that and instead put those on here... now i just have to make sure i cut all tie from the blog to me, if i still want to comment on what comment on abes' wall... namely farfur and iran...

sleep fuck

2007-06-28T19:36:00.000-04:00

you know you are sleep fuck when... you are driving... and try to signal right... and you ended up pressing the right arrow bottom on your cd player... when you left ottawa twelve-thirty in the morning and finally got to kingston five in the morning... when you stop twice to take naps on the side of the road traveling from ottawa to kingston... yeah... i need some new cds to keep me awake on the road...

me and my d40

2007-05-26T16:00:00.000-04:00

as many of you already know, i got a nikon d40... so now i am running around taking pictures of everything... it's kind of like when i got my first digital camera... right now, i am trying to visit all the attractions in kingston... there are a lot of museum and places to go and take picture in this beautiful city... the only problem with museum is that most of them close at four or five... so... i really have to rush if i really want to go for like a hour max... but there are a lot of interesting small museum here... like: museum of health care for eastern ontario(?!)... maclachlan woodworking museum... marine museum of the great lakes at kingston... museum ship alexander henry... pump house steam museum... penitentiary museum... etc... so yeah... some weird one there.. but anyways... so far i only been to fort henry... so i will have a lot of places to go for pictures...

chicoutimi

2007-05-16T16:53:00.000-04:00

it's official... that chicoutimi is the most northern place i have ever been... the place that hold that title last was riviere-du-loup, where i drove by on the way to halifax... northern quebec isn't usually the destination i would go since i don't say more then three words of french... but i had to drive my sister katie there for a french course with our mum... the one leeming did last year... so chicoutimi was indeed very "french" ninty-nine percent of people i encountered doesn't speak a word of engish and that one percent of people can't really speak better then a three years old anglophone... the fact that everything written is in french doesn't help... well everything except that one restaurant in a hotel... so hanging around town is kind of difficult for us... before the trip... i thought chicoutimi is just another small, in the middle of no where, nothing special town... well... it is small... and it's in the middle of no where... but this town is somewhat special... the city is built on a slope... houses and building are on steep hills... which makes driving around town really fun... for me anyways... according to wikipedia... chicoutimi has one of the steepest roads in north america... cote-st-ange has en eighteen degree grade... which is comparable to filbert street in san franciso... i went there the next day after i read that on wiki... too bad i didn't have my camera with me (i went after i drop off my sister to her host family for the next five weeks)... it is really steep... and long too... it's fun driving down there... it has a really nice view going down too... you can see the whole city since cote-st-ange is high on the hill... and it's located beside the beautiful la pulperie de chicoutimi, again... didn't have any photo... i hope i have the chance to go there again... to pick up my sister... let's hope i get that weekend off... it was a long ride there... more then six hours drive... the highway after quebec city is fun to drive... you just keep climbing and climbing... katie is taking the program at université du québec à chicoutimi. it's a really small campus... but it has med and engineering department there...

let's talk about food in this trip... we been to three restaurants... one in quebec city and two in chicoutimi... we initially wanted to eat at au petit coin breton, but it's closed down!!... so we went to aux vieus canons... where we always wanted to go, since it always look busy... i ordered marinated chicken brochette, which is one of the daily special... it cames with soup or salad, dessert of the day and tea or coffee... for nine ninty-nine... everything was great, but i was a bit disappointed at the chicken brochette... it's rough and dry for my taste... katie had the quiche lorraine... it was like the extreme opposite of the chicken... it's was soft and juicy... great dish... but the combination of egg and ham is too much of a breakfast taste for me... but the price is right, it's only eight ninty-nine... hehe... but the surprise dish of the day was the crab meat stuffed avocado for twelve ninty-nine... i don't think it has enough crab meat in it tho... and quebec city was a bit chilly then to have a cold dish outdoor...

we went to le legendaire in le montagnais hotel for breakfast... and it's the only place i found in chicoutimi that has a bilingual menu... and wow... that was the biggest breakfast i never seen... i ordered "the zoo", which includes one egg, ham, sausage, bacon, cheese, one crepe, baked beans, maple syrup and cretons... for ten dollars... my mum ordered "the st. marguerite", which is poached egg with smoked pink salmon... for eight sixty-five... i really like "the zoo", since it has a bit of everything... but "the st. marguerite" was a some what a disappointment... the smoked salmon doesn't taste like... hmmm... smoked... but over all everything is great... oh oh... i don't know about you.. but i never have caramel on toast... they serve caramel with the toast!!!

one really big surprise that weekend in chicoutimi was the bay... yes... the department store... i know there are the bay's everywhere... but this one is closing down!!! everything is forty percent off on the price that is already on sale and lowered multiple times!!! i think i got like eight pieces of clothes and a pair of shoes... and i only spent like eighty dollars... so yeah... i finally have some new clothes...

i got to say... from what i see in that two days... i really like chicoutimi...

dined, drank and dashed

2007-04-23T20:33:00.000-04:00

i had a party oriented weekend... beavers reunion friday, my unit's mess dinner and teri-anne's birthday on saturday... the beavers reunion is one of the most anticipated party of this year... and what a reunion that was... all (actually most) beavers come to one pub... it's been awhile... almost five years that is... since all of us come together... anyways... good people, good times... it was so good that i forgot to pay... an was my ride home... and as she left, i just left with her... and in fact.. she forgot to pay too... so... angela ended up paying for both of us... mess dinner was good... both the dinner and the mess part were fun... i drank soooo much wine... the four i sat with all were crazy with the wine and took advantage of the "bottomless" wine... food was okay too... so stayed at the mess after the dinner until like one... and finally got home... and got a ride to grace o'malley for teri'anne's party... by the time i got there, it's already like one thirty... and yet... i still have to pay cover?! i didn't stay there for too long... and got home a sleep... but yeah... what a busy weekend.. and i did my very first dine and dash!!

disgrace of canada part two

2007-04-17T20:14:00.001-04:00

wow... what a coach's corner for game two of sens vs pens... let me see... hmmm right... they didn't talk about a single thing on the canadian team... oh right... it's for neutrality... then why it's all about the pens?? it isn't for canadian audiences?? all their topic was on pens' players... the only one discussion by don cherry that was somewhat related to the sens was the armstrong hit to eaves... but that was on armstrong... as they show previous hits from armstrong... anyways... the sens wow... so that suppress my anger a little bit...

why i don't post as much anymore

2007-04-16T19:09:00.000-04:00

okay, first of all, i am not dead... i am still around... it's just i don't have much time and energy to write blogs... but more so... i don't have enough material to make this blog interesting... why?... if you remember i posted canforgen 136 back in last october... i have too much stuffs that i can't say on here now that i am on course... but don't worry... i do keep a little journal after the first two weeks i am here... so... i may edit that and post that... anyways... but i think i should keep this blog going tho... maybe not with stuffs during class... but after class or between class... we will see...

disgrace of canada

2007-04-14T15:30:00.000-04:00

there aren't much that canada isn't pride, of course beside the airborne regiment incident... but there is one thing that i am sure it's the disgrace of canada... cbc's hockey night in canada... first of all it should be call leafs' night in canada, as the whole program is tailored for the leafs... the senators is always treated as pretty much an american team... in fact they have more respect to the avalanches, an ex-canadian team, then they ever did to the senators... unfair commentaries especially the colour commentaries... they would even know most american team player's name, but never remember senator players' names... the commentaries would always refer most senators as "the senator player"... some time they would call them "the ottawa sens", for fuck's sake, it's "the sens" or "the ottawa senators"... no fucking one in ottawa call them "the ottawa sens", i don't fucking see them calling the leafs "the toronto maple" or "the toronto leafs"... now the sens are playing the penguins in the first round of the playoffs... since sid the kid is playing for the penguins... hockey night in canada suddenly become penguins' night in canada... in today's game, they made a comment on ottawa fans booing whenever crosby touches the puck, they said ottawa fans have no class for doing that... wow... they never say a thing about the leafs fans booing alfredsson every time he touches the puck... oh sorry... i think they said some about "you know who has the puck in air canada center when the fans are booing..."... what a disgrace... why can't those people should some pride??

farewell party

2007-03-05T16:46:00.000-05:00

i know the farewell thing happened three weeks ago, but i never write anything about it yet... so here we go... the night consist of me, dana, lado, abes, and anna... yes... beben... i wanted to go to alpengruss for dinner, so lado drove a long way there... on the way there anna gave us a detail update on britney spears... as always, the food was great... i didn't order the boot of beer tho... didn't notice that until the next day when i go back there for dinner again... anyways... after the dinner we didn't go go-carting or laser tag... the two things that we said we will do that night... instead we went to see the snow sculptures in hull... snow sculptures are really nice too... they have a different feel compare to ice sculptures... then we went to downtown hull and found some pub to drink... i don't remember that place called anymore... but it's kind of like a jazz place or something... it still serves dessert late... and have modern arts on the walls...

cross dressing

2007-02-28T17:01:00.000-05:00

okay... fine... i finally admit it... i am a cross dresser... the story goes like this i wore a pair girl jeans for the whole weekend... it's was half price when i saw it... and i actually liked it after i tried it on... *cough cough... but i never pee wearing that pair of jeans tho... so... i finally went to pee with it on monday... and guess what... i can't pee with it... i just can't put "it" out... with the zipper all the way down, the opening is still too small for me... and i know i am slightly bigger then normal *wink... but i never have problem with that... so... i returned it and got another pair and i can "work" with... but the moral of the story is... try take "it" out in the change room when you are trying it on before you buy...

confined to k-town

2007-02-25T10:49:00.000-05:00

okay... it's been a okay week... long day during the weekday to get ready for inspection... spent soooo much time on ironing and starching the shirts... but i finally got the hang of it... not it's the deu boots turn... we only have started class on thursday, tuesday was just unpacking and prepare for inspection... wednesday just running around for admin and clear-in stuffs... friday tho... it was the commodore's sports day, i was assigned to play frisbees outside... it was sooo cold... and i missed what they say about we can go in for breaks... so i was outside for more then two hours with out a jacket... anyways... so now i have a bit of a cold... i am confined to k-town this weekend... but have the weekend off... so got a lot of sleep and have some time with the boots... my roommate for high-speed internet and cable in our room... and he is a big geek... he bought more then five hundred dollars worth of electronics here already... and our room have three laptops out most of the time... plus all his toys, our room looks like a geek room... oh i got a headset for msn... and my roommate has a really nice webcam... so yaaah video call!!!... yesterday i went to the mall with my roommates... and one of those battery store has everything in the store half priced... i couldn't find a camera i want there... so just got a headphone for ten dollars and a fm transmitter for twenty-five dollars... there were so much i can buy there... but so far everything i got in kingston in terms of shopping are half priced... yes yes... i am cheap... i need to save up for a dslr camera... i didn't bring my camera with me... but one of my roommate has one... so once i got a change i guess i will post some pictures here... i should go shower and catch brunch at the mess now...

off to k-town

2007-02-20T02:04:00.000-05:00

i finally finish packing... sigh... so much to bring... it's like i am moving or something... i will be there for the next five months... hopefully i will be back this weekend... yes... i really hope so... i am really tired right now... i will write about the farewell party later...

this week

2007-02-16T17:27:00.000-05:00

nothing much happened this week... just a lot of running around... getting stuff ready for kingston... a lot of stuff that could be done in one shot ended up needed two or even three try to complete... i am sooo really tired... i have to be in kingston by two o'clock next tuesday... instead of four o'clock next wednesday as i originally thought... so much work was put on the to-do pile which was already really huge on thursday... with me already lost one day next week... i have to cancel the london trip... it was painful to call gaytri, dana and lado yesterday to tell them about the cancellation... i mean... gaytri called me the day before yesterday to conform the trip with me... we have plans to see the knights game and go to the labatt tour... it was painful because everyone was so hyped up for this trip for almost two months... and i do want to see gaytri and hang out before i go... it was painful because dana needs the ride to get home in london... i like to stick with decision i made... i maybe indecisive, but once i decided, i will stick with it... the very good example would be me with the reserve... i still don't know why i am doing it... for the money?? hmm it's not that much... i mean i should get a job within my field... for the fun?? yeah i guess, sometimes it could be fun... for serving a country?? yeah... you probably notice, i use "a" and not "the" or i probably should use "my"... so i don't know... maybe i should just suck it up and get it over with... let's face it... i am useless without this course in the army... with this i would be consider "trained"... now all i can hope is that it wouldn't be too intensive... and i don't fuck up for inspections... and as long as i get my weekends off... i will be okay... by the way... i am driving the cr-v down instead of my civic... a lot more room for my stuff... i am making it in to a closet... my civic could hold all the stuffs... but they wouldn't be easily accessible... anyways... i am really sorry to everyone for london... even to myself... now i can't meet gaytri's hot roommates... hehehe... anyways... i went to skate on the canal with jet on monday and that was fun... but really cold tho... it's weired because it was in the afternoon but still really cold... and i went couple of times at night and it wasn't as cold... oooh right... the temperature dictates how cold it is... and not the time of the day... that night jet and i went pick up the birthday gift for lado... yeah... on his birthday... very last minute... abes and i chipped in for the gift... i got it to him on tuesday tho... lidija, the other birthday girl was also there too... i hit two birds with one stone... so my farewell thing is going to be tomorrow... i was thinking we will go eat somewhere... and then go go-kart or laser tag... then go somewhere to drink... i remember i went laser tag before shilo couple years ago... anyways... hope to see people tomorrow...

csm

2007-02-13T02:24:00.001-05:00

csm(canadian ski marathon) came and gone, time actually went by really fast during the weekend... i ended up staying in the truck doing radio shifts all weekend... so didn't actually see most of the two thousand three hundred and thirty skiers, so didn't see graydon at all... over all it's okay... trying to stay awake at night in a cold truck is kind of painful... but meh... the most painful part is when you jump in to the sleeping bag with just a boxer and t-shirt in the tent... and when you jump back out to get dress... it's like seventy degree in difference... every time i do that, i would think... man... why would i do that... the other thing is that the portable washroom is about one kilometer away... it's some distance if you really really have to go... well at least on the way back, i finally found some signals to call lado for his birthday... we told the ferry to cross the ottawa river... it's my first time taking the ferry to cross the ottawa river... so i took a lot of picture... and i also found that if i took the ferry on the way to lac simon... i would have saved a lot of time... sigh... why didn't anyone told me about the ferry before!!?!??! the private school where we set up the headquarter is really nice... they let us to use the gym... their gym has squash in it... those kids from the school ask a lot of question tho... anyways... after all it's a good experience...

towfiqa's two-five and the aftermath

2007-02-05T21:53:00.000-05:00

friday was towfi's birthday party, i haven't that girl for ages, since mo and i had lunch with her when mo and i still work at the hanger... her party is at this japanese restaurant called genji on lisgar... i have been to the last two version of the place... it is the third japanese restaurant in the same space that i know off... and wow... by far this time it has improved by a lot... in terms of the looks of the place and the food... the food looks and taste awesome... the size of the cuts for the fish are the one of the largest i seem in ottawa... i saw few people i have not see for awhile... like winnie and mekki... fun times... most of us, i think, except sarah, are engineers... and most of us are systems... so... there were a lot of school talk... and i thought i was long out of that... a lot of talks are on the tim program at carleton... anyways... after that lado wants to get towfi some bubble tea for her birthday... but for one who doesn't carry cash around.. of course.... i ended up paying again... yes lado... i am like an elephant... i remember... after that we dropped of towfi at farhaven and went to abes' place... and yes they are still mad at each other... guys, feel free to defense on that... we watched clerks ii... which is not as good as i expected... maybe my expectation on it was too high... but it's still a good movie i think... we were just too tired to watch it...

recruiting part two

2007-02-04T21:28:00.000-05:00

last week recruiting continues in bayshore shopping centre... and this time we finally got some vhf radio to show... everything pretty much the same as the week before at st. laurent... except we got a mil-cots on the first day and we were later placed in between the medics and ggfg(governor general's foot guards)... i still don't know which of the governor general's foot they are guarding... there are a lot of toys to play with from both of them... but bayshore was less busy then st. laurent tho... i think the turn out is better at st. laurent... anyways... nothing much happened beside i got my blood pressure checked three times in a day by the medics... my blood pressure was perfect by the way...

speedo

2007-02-02T00:14:00.000-05:00

i was cleaning my closet... reorganizing all t-shirts to similar colour and use... like i separate those i probably will never wear again, for example, the pink one i got just to drink the gay bar dry... but what surprise me is that i found my speedo for my high school swim team!! it was hiding behind all the t-shirts... anyways... man.. ain't that speedo looks small it's a size thirty-two, which is my size right now... but it just look soooo small, i wonder how it ever contains my package??? here a picture to prove it... not the size of my package, it for the size of the speedo of course...

what i just watch pass week(s): protector(a lot of fights, not much of a plot... it has less dialog then a softcore porno, sometime it could have like fifteen-twenty minutes of action with no voice at all... kind of boring if you don't like the fighting.... and i don't), conan the barbarian(the movie is as old as me, which is not that old since i am not old... the governator is so young in it... again... tons of sex scenes... but it kind of had a story tho... just a bit too long... very late seventy, early eighty movie feel... i think it's okay), butterfly effect two(once again... feel like a softcore porno with more noticeable actor... one of the sex scene is really good tho, it was with that chick in smallville as lois... the story is really really straight forward tho... nothing compare to the first one... watch it if you have a lot of time or if you really like lois on smallville), the last kiss(as i mention on the other post... it's a bit too long... can't watch it with you are tired... not as funny as i thought it would be)

senator canadian forces appreciation night with blood

2007-01-30T23:22:00.000-05:00

mike organized this blood donating day at canadian blood services for the unit on tuesday... this is my first time giving blood... i was a little worry after seeing nicole kind of passed out right in front of me after giving blood years ago... anyways... i went through it without any problem... the questionnaire asked for screening processing is kind of weird... for example: "have you, in your past or present job, taken care of or handled monkeys or their body fluids?"... and the second half of the questionnaire is all about sex... so i asked the staff who did the screening on me if she is already suck of the word "sex"... and she said yes and can't wait to get out of that place(!)... anyways... it's fun too see army guy's reactions while or after giving blood... surprise that some of the tough guys ain't so tough with needles... when i was giving blood, i asked how much am i selling the blood for... no one found that funny... it's really fun to see so many people i know there at the same time and all giving blood...

after the blood donation... dana and i went to see the sens game... it's canadian forces appreciation night... so there were a lot of green there... it's such a good game, heatley and redden were great, corvo still act like a forward playing defense... ovechkin and semin were sooo dangerous... we ran in to jasmine and anton... it ends up that... everyone from the army got their tickets for free... and i only got a ten dollars discount... well it doesn't really matter i have fun that night... apparently if you drink beer after donating blood, each beer would feels like three... too bad dana strongly opposed me to drink at the game... it's good to be a cheap drunk at place that have such expensive beer... on the way to my car in the parking lot, we saw a car that was wrecked...

on saturday, dana and i hanged out at paul's... it's weird... earlier that day... he first asked me to go to a movie with him... then he asked me to eat with him... then he asked me to hang out at his place... since he didn't give me the standard forty-eight hours notice... i didn't go out with him... hehe... anyways... dana and i went to blockbuster to pick up a couple of movie first... with me picking the big white and she picking the last kiss... at least that's what on record... it was really fun night... i got some sparking wine and paul provided beer, sortilege(canadian whiskey and maple syrup liqueur) and super nintendo... i really like the sortilege tho... sweet yet strong... paul sold me a bottle for thirty dollars... for super nintendo, we did some street fighters, aladdin, and teenage mutant ninja turtles... those games sure bring back a lot of memories... we watched the chick flick after paul's girlfriend came back from work... it a good movie... it's just that i was expected a more of a comedy... then that... it's kind of long... and a lot of talking... very chick flick of a chick flick i think...

recruiting

2007-01-27T00:21:00.000-05:00

last thursday to saturday... i was at st. laurent doing some public relation and recruiting for my unit... pretty much all the units in ottawa area were there... it is the annual big thing... there were a lav iii, g wagon, a special mlvw used by field engineers (don't remember what it called), howitzer, weapons and equipments and of course, radio from us... we don't really have any radio on hand to show, since they are all being used in winter warfare on the same weekend in petawawa... so we only have one hf radio on display... even tho there are a list of stuffs we can show... anyways... our display is located right beside regiment de hull, where they have a g wagon on display with a c6 mounted on the top of the g wagon... so people keep asking us about the g wagon... "how much horse power?", "how many cylinders?", "where is the raffle ticket for the truck?", "how good is the armour?", etc, etc, etc.... it's not our truck!!!! anyways... by the end of the day... i can say that now i know a lot about the g wagon... i have my tac-vest and floppy hat on walking around giving out pins and posters... we out give the recruiting centre on posters!!! i feel like i am a pro... i really like the job tho... got to talk to random people... and so many different story from different people... paul got people to put one his new cadpat jacket, helmet and tac-vest... and get them to take pictures if they have a camera... and he uses the same line every time... "do you want to try on the tac-vest with the helmet? maybe with the jacket too?? if you don't, you will regret it for the rest of the day....".... it's okay to hear it once or twice... but for like days.... man, he sounds like a broken record.... anyways... as always with my army stories... there are stuffs that i can't put on here... talking about cadpat jacket.... i finally got one too!!! i am soooo happy... it's such a great jacket... it's good now that dana can't keep showing off her new cadpat stuffs...

the day i made her cry

2007-01-24T01:19:00.000-05:00

dana was busy with homework, lado is in love with his office, abes is still bitter about getting hit by a basket ball throwing by a female player... so i went to see the first annual capital hoops classic at the bank with jet... it is my very first real basketball game at a big stadium... that is if you count canadian university basketball is real basketball... there were close to ten thousand people there... nine thousand seven hundred and thirty to be exact... the ravens ended up losing to the gee gee's (what the fuck is a gee gee anyway?) sixty-two; sixty-four... it was a really really tight game... the atmosphere was great... the fans are split about half half... red versus white... i didn't get tickets beforehand... thinking that i probably would be much easier to get it right at the bank... and i was right... we were just walking to the ticket booth to buy the tickets then a black girl approached me from near the booth, then she asked us if we need tickets... and she would just give them to me for free... so she waved her friend to us and he gave us a pair of tickets... and then she was like... no.. give them the good ones... so... we got free tickets... and they are right behind the net at the hundred level... jet and i both agreed that it was just great timing... i mean... if i didn't spend some time at her place as she was showing me her character on world of warcraft(!)... or if i didn't even go up to get her from her apartment... i probably have to end up paying... and i was thinking... if jet is not black... or brown has she called herself (she is half white)... the black girl may not give us the tickets... anyways... good game... at the end, we stayed at our seats until we got kick out... and we went to marshy's for food... it's weird that their menu is a bit different then the marshy's at centrepoint... after dinner, it was already pass midnight... so the bank and parking lots are almost completely empty... once we got out of the building... i leaded her to turn left to look for the parking lot around the bank... it was really cool... we kept walking and walking... and couldn't find the parking lot with my car... then i notice that we were walking to the wrong direction... sigh... so we turned around... then jet started crying... she was so cold that she started to cry... it ends up that my parking lot is just straight from marshy's... anyways... so she said... that day would be remembered as the day i made her cry...

unit driver part two

2007-01-22T15:53:00.000-05:00

so... the group ex at kingston was tiresome... i ended up only driving the commanding officer(co) for just a little bit... i was there early with the advance party... i was the driver of the mlvw... two and half hours of loud, vibrating, smelly ride... and i got the so called the ml headache after... after that... we pretty much just waiting for the rest to arrive... i only drove the co to the training area... and after that i got pulled as a recce driver... and started my thirty-six hours of none sleep driving... it's like that i drive thirty-six hour straight, but i was only given fifteen, thirty minutes sleep here and there when i wait in the milcots... so i finally got sent to sleep... and guess what... i wasn' given any timing... and they kind of forgot about me i think... i ended up slept for twelve hours straight... anyways... there are a lot that i can't say on this... i also drove the lsvw and a ford freestar van some where in between... and one the way back.. i got pulled as the co's driver again... ended up driving the one ton (gm pickup) back... so yeah... i think i can call myself the unit driver... and from the ex... i know that recce could be fun... and now i kind of know kington now...

unit driver

2007-01-18T21:10:00.000-05:00

you all know this already... i am useless in the army... i am not really qualify to do anything beside driving... i can drive ls, ml and mil-cots... last ex i was the troop officer's driver... and this weekend's big group ex (with units from kington, toronto, hamilton and trenton) in kington... i will once again prove my usefulness as the commanding officer's driver...

what i just watch pass week: the night listener(it's okay... could be much better... it's robin williams and toni collette who hold the movie together)... crank(i saw it with ayesha in theater... and i am watching it again... it's that good)... christine(it's stephen king... how many good stephen king movies are out there?? that's right... zero... but this is one of the better one)... the return of the living dead(it's really funny... and it's from the eighty's... you can just laugh at their clothes alone)

stereotype monday

2007-01-17T02:22:00.001-05:00

more on karma... i was browsing on the tv guide on tv, trying to look for a movie to watch... and as i am scrolling down to the movie network sections... on mexcess, i saw a movie called karma... but it's an adult movie... wonder what the plot is... anyways... on monday dana, ayesha and i went to see stranger than fiction at rainbows... and after that we went to dooley's since i was craving curry fries... and on the parking log outside dooley's we ran in to some high school people: kevin, fridge, justin and jason... and they were there for the half price pool... but i forgot that dooley's checks id and i always thought dana is nineteen, i remember i congrats her about drinking after her birthday back in november... but it ends up that she is eighteen and i was probably congrats her about drinking in hull... so... we end up going to local heroes... and we ran in to the hillcrest gang again... anyways... the stereotype calling started on the way to pick up ayesha... with german stereotypes with dana, chinese stereotypes with me... but now that i think of it... we didn't pick on ayesha... anyways it was a really fun night and a great monday evening...

lindenhof part two

2007-01-16T22:00:00.001-05:00

on saturday, i finally got to eat at lindenhof... when i got there around eight o'clock, the place is full... we had to wait a few minutes to get a table... the waitresses were wearing "european"... the place is also some what decorated in european manner... we ordered roulade(a tender beer roll stuffed with onions, bacon & ground meat), schweinshaxe(oven roasted ham hock) and lindenhof platter(smoked pork loin, bratwurst, schnitzel & bbq back ribs)... and for desserts, we ordered apple fritters and black forest custard(black cherries and kirsch)... and for wine... we got one of my favour cheap ass sweet german wine: niersteiner spatlese late harvest (nine dollar and fifty cents in lcbo and twenty-eight dollars at lindenhof), i am actually enjoying the sweetness of it as i am writing this... anyways... after all the foods are great... except the ham hock... it's kind of tasteless... don't know if it's suppose to be like that... i really like the smoked pork loin tho... it's a most try i think... even for a muslim... if possible...

poker at joni

2007-01-14T21:07:00.001-05:00

well the title is not one hundred percent right... it should read... garf's poker night at lado hosted by joni... or... garf present, lado poker night at joni's... since lado's place is not big enough, we combined it with joni's.. lidija, jon, theresa, polly, lado and i showed up... missing are ayesha and abes... ayesha was sick therefore excusable and abes just suddenly has a lot of school work popped out from no where the night before, therefore inexcusable... the first game was total asian domination as i took first place and theresa and poly took second and third... the second game i got third place with a stupid all-in and lidija being second and joni first... just want to say that i took out both filipovic in one all-in with three sixes... it's not as bad and boring as it was to go out early from the game... since the loser lounge consists of a wii...

karma

2007-01-11T02:48:00.001-05:00

after seeing the "our 'cops' is on!" episode of my name is earl couple weeks ago... i am really like the show... i have been trying to avoid watching it, i never liked the show even tho i never watched a complete show before... it's kind of good i guess... since now i have something to watch before the office and scrubs on comedy night done right, which used to be called must see tv on nbc... the big theme of my name is earl is karma... now... after reading the wiki on karma... i still don't really understand it completely... all i know from the show is that... do the right things and stop doing bad things and karma will reward you... so i guess i should start bringing good karma to people around me... but i am not going to be as extreme as earl... who made up a list of stuffs he did wrong in the past and tries to make everything right one by one... anyways... hmmm... i feel good karma all around this blog...

more on corvo

2007-01-09T18:00:00.000-05:00

i don't know, but from i know, the sens signed corvo during the off-season to some what replace chara... since his number in pass years at los angeles was good... especially last year with fourteen goals and twenty-six assists with a plus sixteen... in a team that didn't even made the playoffs... but in reality he is a very offensives player with limited defensive compare to chara... some even said that he is a forward playing defense... i am not saying he sucks... but a lot of people don't like him... for example... on tsn.com... on the player's bio page for corvo... for the scouting report... it read:

assets: has intriguing scoring potential from the back end and also owns enough size to play an effective defensive game.
flaws: may need to play a less risky game in order to see regular ice time in the NHL. must tighten up his defensive-zone coverage.
career potential: no. 6 or 7 defenseman.

wait a minute... are you telling me that the sens signed a no. 6 or 7 defenseman for two and a half million dollars?!?!?!... i mean come on... his time on ice was like a top four defenseman at the beginning of the season... but it has decline since then... to just fourteen fifty-four on the tuesday game against boston... so... is he top four? or just six or seven??

c place weekend

2007-01-08T15:02:00.000-05:00

since the philly trip never happened and the london trip fall through... carleton place, aka c place or cp, is the last hope... this probably marks the last time we party at cp for a next while, until tiff comes back... the party is for tiff's fair well... she is going to start her new adventure out west in kamploos bc... she took up to downtown cp for creek food, i forgot what the name of the place tho... it's really good food over all, it's just dishes are a bit small and a bit on the pricey side... i ordered a rack of lamb... it's just a bit smaller then i thought it would be... but it's sooo good... we actually played clue and the game of life... we haven't touch those for years... and we managed not to make them to drinking games... we also tried to continue on tom clancy's ghost recon on xbox... but found out that all the saved games are gone... so those half day of work are just gone... we start over from the beginning... and since we kind of know our way... we catch up pretty quick... but with the time wasted... we still couldn't finished the game... oh well... for sunday... lado and i try to get a taste of philly by not going to philly to see the sens playing philly with abes... my record in the bank is not great at all... i don't think they ever win with i watch... and they always win when i watch in pre-season tho, no that it matters anyways... lado's record is close if not as bad as mine... but since this is abes' very first sens game... newbie luck kicks in... sens won six to one and therefore free pizza... i also got a cowbell for the game when we when to sport experts to pick up the tickets... abes had fun with it at the bank... it's fun to have it in your pocket walking around... people looks at you... i also learn that joe corvo is my second favour senator beside wade redden... corvo is kind of like the younger redden... good offensively... but gives up the puck a lot and struggles defensively... but still lovable <-- can't believe i just wrote that... i forgot to mention this when i talked about the movie plague last friday... i found this on a review by mrryanlittle1 on imdb: "i only suggest watching this film if cute teen-zombie-boys/girls get you off."... thanks to dana, i learn a new word last night... the word of the day yesterday is unbeknownst... i am sad to say i don't know the word... plus so many other words in the book i am reading - the holy blood and holy grail... anyways... thanks to tiff... here is a video of dick in a box:

the first annual capital hoops classic

2007-01-05T16:03:00.000-05:00

so... the first annual capital hoops classic is on the twenty-third of january... here is the link for it... don't ask me why it's a classic... and how the regular season game has a special name... but what i know is tickets are ten dollars for student and twelve for non-student... the ravens are playing the gee gees at the bank... so... you know it's going to be a good game... i checked yesterday... one hundred level was sold out... there were still some two hundred level left... it's funny that teri anne asked me what are the ravens... and why they are playing at the bank... but yeah.. let me know if anyone is interested...

lindenhof

2007-01-05T02:58:00.000-05:00

well... lindenhof didn't actually happened, since by the time i got there by eight-thirty, their kitchen is already closed... even tho their website said it closes at ten o'clock... so the title of this post probably should not be lindenhof... but i am too lazy to change it... plus... you know... it's really hard to think of title names all the time... since some post i have really have no meaning or direction at all... some of my post are just few random stuffs combined together... neither of the random stuff deserves to be the title of the post... plus the concern of having duplicated titles... sometime it makes picking title really tiring... anyways... so... comrie eh?? i really think it a good trade, since they really got something for nothing... and i always like comrie... it shows at the first game he played for the sens... he fills in nicely for the role of spezza for fancy movie, give away and passes to no one... don't get me wrong... as i said comrie is a good pick up... every team needs one of those like spezza... but what happen when spezza comes back?? let's hope comrie doesn't have the defensive liability then...

what i just watch pass week: black dahlia(don't like it, really confusing plot and story telling, it's nothing like the real story), beerfest(it's less the okay... some parts really stupid; some parts really funny... still can't believe this has six point two on imdb), snakes on a plane(like it, movie is much better then the name), plague(wow... easily be the worst movie i watch this year... well this year just started... so worst movie i watched this year plus last year... not much of an ending... no story... no explanation... good beginning... could've be much better...)

new year at quebec

2007-01-03T22:30:00.000-05:00

yup... went to quebec on new year... just looking for a place to kind of hike with my dog for a bit... we ended up in wakefield looking for food... there is only one restaurant open that day... so we were kind force to go to this place called cafe alpengruss... it a little germen motel restaurant... foods are surprisely cheap and good... i ordered rouladen (sirloin rolled up with bacon and onion) with vegetable and spatzle... it was great... i love those spatzle... we also ordered breaded scallops, swiss toast, baby beef liver, cheese cake, apple pie, with four coffees it only came to like sixty dollars!! it's just that wakefield is a bit too far... tomorrow night, i am going to lindenhof and hope it's as good if not better...

welcome two thousand and seven, bye bye two thousand and six!!

2007-01-03T03:09:00.000-05:00

well... two thousand and seven came and gone... although it was a horrible horrible year... lesson has been learn from it... so i should just forget about it and move on... right??... wrong... how do i learn from it by forgetting about it?? plus... it is a psychological trauma... well kind of... i can't just forget about it... really... i tried... anyways... the thing is... i am getting much better... and it's a new year... so... things should keep getting better... the problem with me is i keep thinking revenge... for the must time... i know it's not worth it... this is not worth it... but even in my best mood, i still can't tell myself that forgiveness or reconciliation should be the way to go... those were done and they got me no where... it has shown that they do not guarantee anything, in fact those are what burned me the most... it's really ironic that there is a monument to reconciliation here in ottawa... maybe i just need to be myself busy and put my mind away from it... emotion has it up and down... but my down sometime are so low that i don't know how it had got so low... i mean it just doesn't make any sense... it's not like i am haven't a bad day... it just got that low some how... just like now... could it be low blood sugar?? could it be because i am really hungry right now... i didn't eat supper... hmm maybe... anyways... enough of this...

new year's eve... it was a kind of weird new year's eve... i was at thirsty toad... there weren't many people there at all... and the age group is a bit too too old for me... but it wasn't that bad... i mean... friends are there, i don't see how bad it can get... lado had a good night... he picked up... could've went to teri anne's thing... probably should plan to go there... but meh... next year i guess... it got better after a few drinks... so it's all good... they have a spy cam on the second floor, for the first floor to see... there was a weird asian female dancing all night... by herself most of the time... alone... on the dance floor... as you can see on the clip...

weird things do happen

2006-12-28T20:13:00.000-05:00

weird thing happends... i keep thinking that world junior hockey is in ottawa this year... but in fact it's in ottawa on year two thousand and nine... just three years too early... another weird thing... saw this on reuters... this guy is selling a spot on a trip of two on ebay... and it has to be a female... the trip was intended to use to propose to his girlfriend... but he was dumped before that... anyways... so i went online to check it out... the guy's name is adam croot... so i search for "adam croot" on ebay... and this pops up... instead of the original auction of the trip, which is on longer on ebay anymore... it's auctioning an ebook about adam croot's story... and right now it has six bids and it's around two hundred us dollars... wow... why would anyone want to buy that... i started to see this party poker.net charity faceoff on tsn... it's nhl players playing poker for charity... i just saw this one with domi, brodeur, laraque and cammalleri... that's a good cost to watch i guess... but guess who is the host?! elisha cuthbert!!... my boys season finale is tonight... it's only one episode instead of the usual two episodes back to back... even tho it's not that good... but the end was good... just like the office... it's going to hang me out to dry for awhile...

the catch of the day is the open source gift guide... i had it bookmarked for awhile... i know it's kind of late for xmas... but it's still cool stuffs to get anyone including yourself...

what i just watch pass week: the descent(i like it), jackass number two(it's okay... well a bit better then okay), good cop, bad cop (i like it... since it's canadian... and kind of about hockey... and make fun of bettman big time... but it could be better)

op boxing day failure

2006-12-27T16:48:00.000-05:00

failure... failure... failure... op boxing day is a failure... the failure starts on xmas eve when future shop starts its boxing day sales online... i have failed to secure an olympus evolt e-500 with two lens, which was two hundred dollars off the regular price of eight ninety-nine... i really had doubt on the camera... there are a lot of good thing said about the camera... but it's not really the one i wanted... i don't want to spend that much money on the model i kind of want... by the time i made up my mind to get it(!)... the quantity remaining on the website has dropped from sixty-five to fifty-one... but then the website keep telling me the server is busy... and then it tells me it's not eight pm yet, so i can't add it to the shipping cart, even tho it was like past ten already... so... i keep trying until it is sold out... by that time there was still a lot of pentax k110d left... so meh... fuck it... so... op boxing day continues in montreal on boxing day... and man... crazy sales everywhere... twenty, fifty and even seventy-five present off... there are so many stores... it's like endless shipping... and what did i get after a day in montreal?... pretty much nothing at all... i just got myself a team canada olympic hoodies... it was like seventy-five present off... for eleven dollar with tax... another failure...

xmas at to

2006-12-26T02:37:00.000-05:00

once again like every year for the past ten years, my family spent xmas in toronto... so there is really nothing special to talk about... i finally got the last five books of my thirty-six books book set... as my sister said... i am a book collector and not a book reader... well... i am sure i will set aside whatever i am reading right now and other book in the queue and get started on that five books... but really tho... i have way too many books waiting to be read... this year... i don't know why... i got extra sick of chinese people... they just seem to piss me off a lot this xmas day... there are just way to many of them around... one thing that ticked me off was fucking long line up on one side of a swing door to get in a mall while no one want to use the other side because everyone was just to fucking lazy to fucking open the other fucking door... that ticked me off and made me swear in chinese loud to no one... not very christmasy i guess... and i don't know why... people smells... even my sister notice that... and they love stealing parking spots from each other... i have witness that a couple time today in the same parking lot... didn't see any fight tho... the drive back was fun... rain then snow... and since it start snowing like right before midnight... i guess it counts as a white christmas...

the annual wine party

2006-12-25T00:31:00.000-05:00

the annual wine party had come and gone... the no wine rule was broken by tiff, even tho i was the one who recommended the blue nun... dirty minds was fun... especially when a girl is reading the question instead of a guy... we got put the ducks i got corey for xmas in action later in the hot tub... i don't know... i don't think i will drink that much before the hot tub... it really fucks you up... well at least it fucked me up... i was so proud of myself of not throw up... i did felt really sick... especially after play that stupid baseball game on ps2... how could i lost a game at the bottom of the ninth when i was a head like six points... sigh... after all it's a good party... and those pan cakes are huge...

random friday

2006-12-23T13:48:00.000-05:00

friday was kind of crazy... mixed with the freezing rain... since lado has to finish doing an ass at school, tiff and i decided to just meet up outside lado's around half pass five... she told me she would be late since someone put the alarm during an exam where she was proctoring... so with the freezing rain, she was really late... and for once in the history of time, i was early... if you know where lado lives, you would know how fun it is to drive down the street in his valley neighborhood in snow... and now... it's all ice... there is a sharp left turn to get to his street... everyone just go right through it, being unable to stop... tiff and i ditched one car... she was tired to drive... so we took my car even tho my car still don't have the winter tires on yet and her car does... it was fun trying to get up from the valley... i almost made it in the first try... and a cr-v just drove by me with ease... aaah... i missed my cr-v... anyways... i made it the second time... so we went to billings to shop... we needs food for the potluck and i needed to pick up the gifts for corey and tiff... yes... tiff... i got her gift right in front of her... it was funny when i give her her gift later that night... anyways... i am writing this in waaay ttoooo muuuuch in details... so... we went to korea village to pick up some sushi for the potluck... since we were hungry and till have to wait for lado... we seat down and ordered one kimchi rice since we have to save space for the potluck later... the waiter was giving us weird looks for ordering just one dish and two order of sushi to go... so i said it was a cheap date and we are going to pick up some two ninty-nine dvd at grant tiger afterward... he doesn't understand when4 i say "to go", and i have to repeat my order like three times... and he came back to ask about the order again... sigh... anyways... after then we still have time to kill... so we went to value village... i don't think i have been in value village since i was there with angela and camille for halloween four years ago... a lot happened in value village... i never know tiff has such a perverted mind.. it's awesome... we saw a vinyl record on something about like enjoyment of flute, on the cover it's just a woman seating on a beach or something... and tiff's comment was... i wonder where is her flute... she also made a comment on barbie and ken orgy... as there were a box of naked barbie and ken... it was weird... anyways... value village has once again proved it's entertaining capability... i got lado a "support our troop" t-shirt... core three rubble ducks for his hot tub... and tiff dirty minds... gaytri never show tho... wonder if anything happened to her...tiff made us cards with our face on it!... can't wait till tonight's party... it's going to be the same thing only with drunkenness and hot tub...

wall papers

2006-12-22T03:19:00.000-05:00

do you know what is really fun?! ripping out wall papers!!! unless you done it before, you have no idea how satisfy it is... i am doing redoing the kitchen walls... so i am taking the wall paper out and repaint the walls... after a big section of wall papers get pill out... when i see the clean wall behind the wall paper... with a big pieces of wall paper in my hand... i feel soo fulfilling... i guess it explains my destructive behavior...

catch of the day is futility closet... good blog with a lot of everything... interesting facts... puzzles... math... check it out...

peanut butter jelly time

2006-12-21T02:28:00.000-05:00

peanut butter jelly time ain't cheap!! brendan from my unit sent laura, who is also from my unit, a bottle of peanut butter for xmas... the problem is, she is in africa and there is no peanut butter in africa... so how much did that cost him to mail?? ninety-seven dollars!!! he probably should just send her a recipe for peanut butter instead...

i was looking at cell phones... yes... mine is more then three years old now... and it's still running... stupid sony ericsson... anyways... i really like sony ericsson k790a... it's a bit pricey tho... hardware upgrade would be two hundred and forty-nine dollars with three years contracts extension... but what i really like about the phone is that is has a full mp3 player button on the side... and it has a three point two mega pixels camera with bulb flash!!! and it takes great pictures!! but with that price... i think sony ericsson w810i is just more realist to me... it's forty-nine or ninety-nine with three years... anyways... i need a real job first... or when i feel like i have to blow my money when i am on course...

what i just watched past week: little miss sunshine(i like it),d lady in the water(i like it), my super ex-girlfriend(it's okay), john tucker must die(it's okay), talladega nights: the ballad of ricky bobby(it's okay), an american haunting(don't like it) and you, me and dupree (it's okay)...

xmas != hope

2006-12-20T12:56:00.000-05:00

even tho i feel like i just been hit by a train in both mentally and physically this week... and started to go back to think there is no hope in xmas (even tho i don't have to check my mark anymore during the holiday)... i still looking forward to this weekend's back to back partying... it should be good times... i don't have to hope... i know i would be good times, so once again.. there is no hope in xmas... you can't even hope for a job during xmas, because everyone are on break, no one is doing the paper work... so there you go... no hope in xmas... i am looking forward to drink this weekend, even tho recent history has teach me that i should either just get buzzed a bit or just pass out at the end of the night... never let myself stay in a level when i kind of feel high and can't really control what i do... with access to a computer... from the drunkenness level from How Not To Get Drunk... i should stay at either level 5 or jump all the way to level 10... nothing in between... anyways... this weekend is just with all my closest friends so it doesn't matter... let's just hope they are close enough friend for me to be in the same hot tub with my speedo on... hahaha... just kidding... here the catch of the day... yves marchand photography it has some good old abandoned architecture photos...

the killers - bones

2006-12-19T12:17:00.000-05:00

i am really hooked to the killers' sam's town, i don't know why, i start liking it after i put it on when i am painting the window frames... but i do find some songs on it are kind of... gay... for example... this is called bones... here is the music video and lyrics for you to judge... here is few lines from it: "Don’t you wanna come with me? Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It’s only natural"... no... it doesn't sound natural to me... and there is another song called "where the white boys dance"... hmm... i don't know... you can judge...

Bones

We took a back road, we’re gonna look at the stars
We took a back road in my car
Down to the ocean, it’s only water and sand
And in the ocean, we’ll hold hands
But I don’t really like you
Apologetically dressed in the best put on a heart-beat ---- (clide??)
Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

A cinematic vision ensued
Like the holiest dream
There’s someone calling, an angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same
Wait ‘til tomorrow, you’ll be fine
But it’s gone to the dogs in my mind

I always hear them when the dead of night
Comes calling to save me from this fight
But they can never wrong this right

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It’s only natural

I never had a lover (I never had a lover)
I never had soul (I never had soul)
I never had a good time (And I never had a good time)
I never got gold (I never got gold)

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It’s only natural

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It’s only natural

Come and take a swim with me
Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It’s only natural

i am a living legend

2006-12-19T11:43:00.000-05:00

this is what bernadette wrote on my wall on facebook last night:

It's all a huge conspiracy against you, Garf. :)

Every time we play poker now, everyone says something like "I'm going to throw in... 4... blue... Like Garf would." You're pretty much a living legend.

ball hockey tournament and men's dinner

2006-12-18T14:27:00.000-05:00

this weekend i have the ball hockey tournament and men's dinner at my unit... the tournament is a two day things started seven o'clock on friday... six teams round robin with no playoff... my team ends up with a 2-1-2 record... not bad for a team with a rookie goalie and under men... i played about seven games in total, since i played for other team too to make up the number... it was fun... i played forward for the first few games... we had great chances... but we only got 1-1-1 in the first three games... so as another player join us on saturday, i put myself back to defense... i thought that would increase our chance to win as i think i am a better defenseman then what we have... but i was wrong... since i pitch in from time to time as i see chances... i would carry the ball all the way in... but when i am in deep and pass the ball on or shot... no forward covered off for me... which always lead to a break down... so after that i just stay back... and if i get a change i would just dump the ball or shot it in... as later the leader of the team, i don't want to say who.. would tell the defenses to move forward closer to the front to help... so what it ends up is.. well this is what i feel afterward... is that... defensemen are ending up doing way too much and get blame for lost goal... forwards should really come back more... wingers alway fly way to high and deep... and i already say this during games too many times... keep the shifts short... but no... people can play for the whole half... there are only two reason for that... one... that person is a forward that didn't come back to help on defense... two... that person is not trying hard enough... if you keep yourself moving like you suppose to, there is no way you can last fifteen minutes at top speed all tournament long... also... they really like not to use the board... i always try to get them to clear on the side and not right in the middle... i really don't want to say too much... it really seem like i bitch a lot... it's just sometime it really hard to watch... and again... who am i anyways?... i am no leader in the team... i think if we keep this team for april's tounament and just work on little stuff like that, we could easily be the top teams in the tournament... after all we have a really good goalie... also... the ref does not really follow normal ball hockey rules... and make a lot of bad calls... make up weird rules... which reminds me that i should get him a copy of the rule if i can find it online some time... anyways... i bitch enough already... the tournament is fucking awesome... i wish we can do that every month and get pay playing... heheh

so men's dinner... it's the xmas dinner which the senior ranks serve the junior ranks... it was pretty much all you can drink beer and wine at dinner... with the non stop beers... i kind of forgot about my wine... i also had second for the turkey dinner... and after dinner... the drinking starts again in the mess with the always cheap drinks... and the lt started to give out coupons for free drinks... and some how i ended up with hand full of it... and the drinking continues in conroy pub afterwards... it's karaoke night... john put me in for a song that i really don't know... he signed me up for "i'm a women"... wow... so i went up with konrad... even tho he said he doesn't know the song... he actually can sing it... and he was sooo comfortable screaming "i'm a women" in front of everyone... i teased his wife after for that... i missed all the drinking chance with my troops for past years... this is actually the first time i got drunk with that... i got home... passed out beside the stairs... my dog keep trying to wake me up... and so i did eventually... so that was saturday night... my body is till hurting now... i feel like i got hit by a car... not that it ever happened to me... but still... my whole body is in pain... this only happened to be before when i think i played like whole afternoon of soccer once... anyways... I wrote too much already...

what i watch

2006-12-17T22:15:00.000-05:00

you know what i watch these days?? just like today... well... since it's after midnight now, i should say yesterday... one hour long of the office... scrubs... then men in trees... yes... i am watching men in trees now... well not really... i don't watch it all the time... it's just when there is really nothing on tv... there are some funny parts... then after i watched a like tv movie called virtual nightmare... it's kind of like matrix... but it's three times shorter and it's easier to understand!! and guess what i watch now... my boys!! yes... yes... i know... it's like of like sex in the city... only there is only like one chick in the show... i know it sounds really bad... but it's kind of funny... and... when i first watch it... i really really hated the main character's voice... it's like she sounds sooo much older then she looks... and now i am addicted to voice... there is actually another voice that i am kind of addicted to... but i will talk about that later...

museum marathon

2006-12-15T14:38:00.000-05:00

so after talking about visiting all the museums at ottawa in a marathon style for years... i finally did it last thursday with dana... well part one of it at least... we had three places in mind for that day... but we only made it to science & tech as well as nature... we didn't make it to the art gallery... science & tech is same old... i don't think i saw anything new there... but it does look smaller as i grow up... as for nature... i really thought it has finish renovations... but no... i think it would continue till like two thousand and nine... even tho only half of the museum is open due to renovations... it still took awhile to go through... we saw captain marida with his kid at nature... he was paying for the membership fee... he said he made a mistake of taking his kid to the nature museums a few weeks back... and now every thursday evening his kid would ask when they will go to the dinosaur museum and so they have been visiting there every thursday... i made a mistake of parking at the meter on the street with out noticing that the park lot at the nature museum was open... and man... that was expensive... and after i have to move my car back to the park lot... that's double pay... anyways... so the next part of the museum marathon probably would be the art gallery, the photo museum or whatever you call that... and then the parliament tour... but that would happen till january...

update

2006-12-14T23:15:00.000-05:00

so... yes... i really have nothing to do at home these days beside painting and playing age of mythology... that's right... age of mythology... i digged out the old game from no where and started playing... finally finished last night... and i came to realize... hey... i own a blog!!! i have left my blog unattended for two weeks!!! if this is a tamagotchi, i couldn't imagine what he/she looks like now... by the way... i am still proud to be the owner of a white tamagotchi, those are apparently hard to find back in the days... but i walked in walmart and they were opening a new box and i found one in there... anyways... that was ages ago... hmmm... right... painting... we got new vinyl windows six years ago... but we never painted the frames... so i finally got around to do that... almost done... can't really paint the high ceiling tho... so here are some update of me, stuffs that i should've post here but never got a chance to: ring day and eighty-fifth anniversary for my unit weekend... it's gaytri's ring day about three weeks ago... and it is a combined ring day from both carleton and ottawa at ottawa u... apparently it is the first bi-lingual on ever... but it sucks ass... no matter how you do it... bi-lingual anything just sucks... you can say everything twice, one in french and one in english... and that would make everything twice as long!! or... you can say half in english... and half in french... which is what they did for this ring thing... and then what?? english people only understand half of what is going on.. and french people... who if they are from ottawa u... would understand english... would know what is going on... so what is it now?? ring day is for french people only? what the fuck is wrong with them? bi-lingual doesn't work... anyways... more on the happy thoughts... i was informed that there would be a wine and cheese thing after the ring thing... i was working at the unit all week that week for the preparation for the eighty-five anniversary... i was tasked to help with the unit photo gallery cd... i was putting descriptions on photos... not all eighty-five years worth of the photos made to the cd... but there were still a lot... because of ring day, i sent in a memo to get out of work that night... so i worked my eight hours that day... and when i leave the armoury... there were still a lot to do... so i said to brendan that i will come back to work after the ring thing is over around eight... so guess what... the wine and cheese thing is actually end up to be something close to an open bar... so i called brendan... and told him about it... and he said... buddy, you stay right there... he is the coolest boss ever... okay so... that night i hang out with girjesh, irene and lado for the night... gaytri was sick later and went home... that's too bad... she was really looking forward to that day... anyways... so... for the the eighty-five, there was a parade... couple of people got promoted, we also got a new rsm... but guess what... i wasn't on the parade!!! why? i was too busy working on the cd, so i didn't sign out a rifle and didn't get to practice that day... sigh... we also had a historical display at the armoury.... there were some interesting artifact there from the museum at kingston... anyways... that's all for now... i don't want to bore you guys to death with a crazy long post... here are some photo from that weekend

catching up

2006-12-01T15:29:00.000-05:00

i almost catch to "myself" in blogging after not updating this after two weeks... i did had a lot to say, but i didn't write them down and as usual... i don't remember what want to say... maybe it's for better good... or maybe not... anyways... i went to see carleton university girl volleyball team vs. algonquin college with dana last night... the reason i went is not that the game is free... no i am not that cheap... it's just i never actually saw irena and terri play before... like after five years in carleton... anyways... it's actually pretty fun to watch... much much much better then i thought.... and too bad carleton lost... it was on the fifth set... and pretty much tie to the last minute... and some how they missed on a free ball...

engineering jacket

2006-11-30T18:58:00.000-05:00

yaah!!! my engineering jacket is finally here!!! i finally went to school and pick it up... well... it's here since last friday, i just didn't have the chance to pick it up... to be honest... i am not one hundred percent satisfy with it... the reason is that they have a new supplier for the jacket... and if you look closely... it is a bit different from the last version... for example... i think the year number is smaller... the code of arm on the chest is not as high quality as the old one... oh well... but i am still happy to have it... it's sooo red... here is the link for more info about the carleton engineering jacket if anyone is interested in it... after picking up the jacket, i finally got to see borat... i went with tiff and dana... since everyone else already saw it... it is as good as i was expected...

goo goo dolls

2006-11-30T13:42:00.000-05:00

me gaytri and my sis went to goo goo dolls at nac couple of fridays ago... it was for my sis' birthday... i got the tickets back in the summer... and both gaytri and i thought we have really good seats when we order... it turns out that i got the wrong seat... it's not as good as it could be... i guess that's it for me ordering tickets... anyways... i really think it is a great concert, but apparently it wasn't according to newspaper... i don't remember which one... but it got like two stars out of five... it was overshadowed by another concert happened at the same time... guns n'roses was in scotiabank place that night... i actually didn't know about guns n'roses... otherwise i would give it a deep thought on goo goo dolls, but i think my sis would've pick goo goo dolls anyways... she got a really nice but expensive shirt at the concert... which she wore pretty much everyday for a week after... here are some photo from it... and i will post some clips from the concert on youtube once i have them uploaded...

one thousand visited!!!

2006-11-16T13:42:00.000-05:00

yah!!! there are one thousand hits for the garfbag!!! although half of those are probably from myself... but meh... yah!!! let's celebrate!!!

two blogs and a website

2006-11-15T23:29:00.000-05:00

there are two blogs and one website i want to mention here today... first... it's tiffany's blog... which sadly... there is really nothing on it yet... second... it's teri anne's second blog... "shopping with teri"... it's a blog with deals in ottawa... check it out... third... it's barrenger's website... it has change from i remember five years ago... for those who doesn't know barrenger... he is a photographer... now in nyc... there are some nice photos, including some celebrity photos such as avril lavigne, nelly furtado, rihanna etc, took by him in his website...

fire murray and/or muckler?!

2006-11-14T21:49:00.000-05:00

so i came across these couple of websites: firemuckler.ca and firemurray.ca... there sure are some angry people out there... just look at the comments page on firemuckler.ca... but people sure make it looks like that everything bad happened to the sens is muckler's fault... someone was talking about demitra... and that was ten years ago and way before muckler's time!!... anyways... i just want to ask... why would they keep looking for people to play with spezza and heatley?? have they even play them in separate lines?? maybe it's not always the third guy's problem such as alfredsson and vermette... and also... now people are saying the hossa-heatley trade was a bad trade... anyways... some comments there are true... but a lot of them are just bandwagon jumper...

garfoto

2006-11-14T02:33:00.000-05:00

okay... so... i started another blog... where i would just post one photo a day... it would be just like daily dose of imagery... only my picture would not be as interesting and nice... this blog is called garfoto...

67's game

2006-11-13T00:25:00.000-05:00

jet is still sick... the flu is really killing her... so she can't come to the 67's game with me... so lado came instead... the 67's was playing the mississauga icedogs... i cannot believe that i spent more of my american money from the summer... i did not have any cash on me... and lado does not have any either as always... as i had to pay with a five dollars american bill... sigh... anyways... i got the tickets two weeks ago... so those are really good seats... not too low, but close enough to see close and clearly... too bad my camera sucks... so photos i took are not as good as i hope they would be... it's weird that i took better pictures in scotiabank place then in civic center, even tho i seat really low in the rink... i guess it's because scotiabank place has better lighting... so again... i need a better camera... faster shutter speed... better zoom... maybe a digital slr... anyways... 67's was kind of suck... must of the goal they scored was on five on three... they lost three-six... after the game and i dropped off lado so he can work on an ass... i went to have coffee with theresa at starbucks... to catch up... she wouldn't let me take a picture of her... but she tried to redeem herself by trying taking pictures of me, after the "fire" photos at lado's place... you know what... it's better... at least this time... it's not on "fire"... here are some photos from the game:

remembrance day

2006-11-12T21:56:00.000-05:00

we have really good turn out this year for remembrance day parade at the vanier legion... we have a lot more people from my unit show up at the parade compare to last year... and since my deu(distinctive environmental uniform) is still not ready... so i am in cadpat(canadian disruptive pattern) again this year... last year was weird since only heather and i was in cadpat... but since we have a lot of new recruits this year... so it didn't look so bad... it was not as cold as i thought it would be... i guess it's because i dressed for it... but it was a bit wet... and i guess because of the rain... there were less spectators then last year... i don't know... i feel like everything is better in this year's parade... it feels shorter... the cadets' drills were better... and i didn't notice how bad the ottawa police's drills were this year... hmm i think they didn't were in the parade... just the police pipe band... less people means less line up at the bar and food... more space... more seats... but it got me to think... was there less veteran there??... that makes me a bit sad... oh richard's girlfriend courtney was there too... i said to her "i told you i wouldn't call your place again"... there is a story behind that... i was calling courtney's place to look for richard... and he was questioning me why did i call his girlfriend... anyways... after the parade and socialize... i went home feeling really sick... so i took a nap before dinner with the radio on broadcasting the sens game... sigh... and result of the game didn't make me feel any better...

ex second thought

2006-11-10T01:39:00.000-05:00

so on sunday... there was a small little ex... each det pretty much just take their truck and drive somewhere and set up and see if we are capable to do it... my det's site is the snow dump on conroy... since i did not do my three's this summer, i never actually done it before... so my 2ic has to walk me through everything... we set up the generator... put up the antenna... cam up the truck... set up the tent... set up the stove etc... and then pick up and go back to the armoury... when the day is over... i was having some second thought on being a sig op... do i really want to do this??... i don't know... it's my first time and i got sick of it already... so i don't know... i mean... should i switch??... let's hope it feels different about it next time i do it...

convocation

2006-11-09T23:25:00.000-05:00

so... after watching friends and non-friends walked across the stage to get their diploma, i finally got to do that myself... i was not really surprised that the amount of people who is graduating... but rather i was surprised with the amount of people who is graduating from master and phd... i think there were as many people there for masters and phds as bachelors... anyways... the speech from the president of carleton was great... it was about the ottawa citizen's article on carleton as last chance university... i have the paper... but i haven't read it yet... so i can't really comment on it... but the title of the article alone could piss some carleton people off... reception at the end was great too... live music... great food... wow... much better then the summer one... chocolate fundo, smoked salmon cream cheese, espresso etc... good food... leeming was in like... happyland... haha... anyways... i didn't get much chance to eat when friends and family were there... but i did catch up after they left... took a long of pictures with my family and friends... lado and tiff was there... but all the photos with my family came out really bad... so yeah... lado... learn how take photos... it's more then point and shoot hehe... i saw mike and his gf... and yes... she is much better looking then her brother... and i even said that to her... then i bumped in to martin... the only one out of four dynamics profs who actually passed me... and he is looking for a job too... we yapped for a long time... and by the time i leave the school it's already like six fifteen...

lado and i went to tiff's place at carleton place later that night... xbox, chocolate and candies and beer... then... when we are all tired and sugar high... we watch tv... switching between ali g and porn... i went to sleep like at four... lado and i were crashing in the basement... with me taking the bed and lado taking the coach... lado was still watching tv then... i fall asleep then i got wake up by really loud sex on tv... i didn't really want to interrupt him... my bed is at the back of the room... i can't really see what he is doing (nor i want to see it)... so i did not say anything... i did not want to get up since it was kind of cold... but then i keep getting wake up like every fifteen minutes from it... and finally after couple hours... he finally turned the tv off... so i did not get much sleep... and i have to wake up at seven thirty to go to work at nine... we leave tiff's house at eight twenty and i got to work at nine on the dot... on the way there... lado told me he fall asleep when watching ali g and did not know what was on tv after that... do you believe his story??

walking down the aisle...

2006-11-02T23:28:00.000-05:00

ram!!

2006-11-02T23:04:00.000-05:00

so... after ten months of bitching about low memory in my laptop... i finally got my blue baby some ram... after a long time of window shopping... well i should say firefox within windows shopping... i found that ncix.com is the cheapest of all... even cheaper then tigerdirect... which... it's not that cheap... i would rather buy it at a local clone store... in fact... ncix was so cheap that i have to go back to check multiple time to make sure i am getting what i need and i am not just reading what i want to read... anyways... so i got a stick of corsair pc2-4200 1gb ddr2-533... it's $139.15 plus $10 shopping... but there is no pst since it's not being shop within bc... which saves me like $10... so it's all good... but i was stupid enough to get the shipping insurance with 30 days express rma... which cost $4.17 in my case... even tho it comes with a shipping insurance of $100 anyways... well... i never got anything from ncix before... so i don't know how well they pack... but yeah... they boxed the ram really well... the ram is actually shipped in a big ass box... oh yeah... about shipping... the $10 one is the cheapest one... and it's the fastest(?)... i ordered it on monday night... and i got it wednesday afternoon... and it flies all the way from bc... i can actually feel my blue baby running faster...

changes

2006-11-01T01:20:00.000-05:00

it's the beginning of the month... so... changes to the favorite tunes list... and here is the list of my october's msn names:

Garf <-- Happy B-day Katie and Gloria!!
Garf <-- saw sam
Garf <-- blog'n & blog'n hard for posts i missed the whole week
Garf <-- people... buy me ram!!
Garf <-- great evening... bad game...
Garf <-- passed rifle, but failed pistol...
Garf <-- in Petawawa
Garf <-- no mike, I'm not calling your gf a whore...
Garf <-- sick... watching lost
Garf <-- sick...

why do i post my msn names??... well... i think i explained that last month when i posted the names for the first time... it's to kind of recap of what i did in the past month... well... as you can see... nothing interesting really happened in the month of october... of course with the exceptions of the times spent with jet... but still... leeming said to me that her life isn't as interesting as mine... well leeming...now you see... mine is not that interesting either... so... the month of november is when things are starting to change... what changes??... well... i am not going to say it before i do it... you know... just in case... anyways... but one thing for sure is... i am going to try to keep myself busy... doing something constructive of course... just like now... i am writing this as i am playing poker online and watching the break-up at the same time... you know... keeping myself busy... and of course... i will pick a better movie next time... as for this blog... the changes are what you already see... new template for the blog... i didn't do the template by myself... i don't really want to do all the work... so i found this on gecko & fly... but i did make some changes to it... i don't know if the author agrees to it... but i kept the credit at the bottom of the page... so i guess it's okay... but one more thing i need to change to the blog tho... the background... i should really make my own logo to put as the background... death really has nothing to do with garfbag... okay... i just finish watching the break-up... both endings suck balls... what's up with movies these days with not so happy endings... you know... i know they need changes... but don't have movies with endings that make people sad... wait... i guess it's just me... nevermind... but chicago does look beautiful in the movie tho...

mental block

2006-10-29T21:56:00.000-05:00

it's funny that how i was trying to find materials to talk about on this blog and i couldn't find anything... so i started to go through what i did this week and see what i did... and i completely forgot that i went to play poker at johnny's on friday night... the reason??.... i did really really bad... i think i was like sixth out of ten for the first game and forth out of ten for the second game... i guess my brain does not want myself to be reminded for games... i could blame on the fact that i was only informed about the game an hour and an half before the game and i was not mental and physically prepared and i had to rush there... oooh who am i kidding... the only thing i would've done different if i know about it earlier is actually go eat and bring beers... hey... that actually is a good reason... playing empty stomach doesn't do you any good... talking about poker... i had a exceptional night... i actually had many many packet aces and packet face card at the beginning of the game... i usually get none... nothing... null... but that time it's different... i started to see good packet card... and ignored what other people had... i started to think... hey... what if play more hand then what i usually play?... well... that what if got me killed earlier... so... sorry people... next time... you will see the old garf you all know... just seat and enjoy the ride... paying blinds to watch the game up close at the table... sipping at his beer and constantly out getting snacks... and stack around to make third place to get the money back and have free entertainment for the night...

time changed

2006-10-29T17:07:00.000-05:00

usually when day light saving ends... it mean one more hour of sleep... but this time it's different... i am actually working during the time change!!! there is a hf ex this weekend... and my shift is from six pm on saturday to six am on sunday... that should have been twelve hours of work, but since the time changes... that makes thirteen hours of work... it was really depressing seeing the time change back to one am... i know about the time change before... so i guess it's okay for me... but some people did not know until it was like one thirty... those people got the hardest hit... this ex is different from the one i went before... there is actually a list of practical lesson to learn... so that means no boardgame or reading for me... hehe... but since most of people in the night shift and i don't have the security clearance yet (sigh)... by the time we get to the crypto machines, such as ky99 and kg84c, we are not allow to actually do a hands on lesson... but we can watch it(?!)... and so we did... hehe... anyways... i did the log book for the hf for the whole shift... it's all radio checks... we only sent one message to borden for the whole thirteen hours... we have no luck with hamilton... the whole night we were just talking to our other det next door... hehe... by the way... the "story" of this ex is that... toronto was flooding... and we are supporting by providing communication for other units in ottawa to units in borden and hamilton to support toronto... well... that didn't work out... we sent a msg like at twelve twenty-two at night telling ottawa is sending support to toronto... and by twelve fifty-five... we lost connection with borden... i guess they didn't want to work...

birthdays

2006-10-26T12:10:00.000-04:00

today is the birthday of my sister kate and my friend gloria... i already did something with gloria last night at east side... jet and evan was there also... she got the best prize of the birthday wheel... no... not a pie in the face... free lunch!!... she also got a cow pencil(?)... tonight for kate... we went to banco... the two best dishes of the night was pan-fried mignons of veal with wild mushrooms and pasta in a pink-jalapeÃ±o sauce, as well as herb-coated rack of lamb with Yukon Gold potatoes au gratin, seasonal vegetables and green peppercorn sauce... there is also buffet there, but i think food from the meal is better... later, since kate is finally eighteen, she went gamble... but without beginner's luck... i havn't do any slot in casino du lac-leamy for a while now... i did not know that there are so many one and five cents machines... but they actually could cost more!! for example, they are five cent per play... but you can bet five times of that at a time... and you can also do fifteen lines... so that is like... five times five times fifteen, which makes three seventy-five a game max... and it's really easy to hit the max play button... as for me... i did not gamble a single dime... yah for me...

stick in my two lovely friends

2006-10-26T11:56:00.000-04:00

everone who saw the sens vs leafs game on tuesday know it was a great game to watch... at least for a sens fans... and the encore is on tonight... for those who saw the game... remember schubert got speared between the leg by kilger after schubert tripped him in the second period? this is what schubert said after the game: "I didn't trip him on purpose. The next thing I see, I get a stick in my two lovely friends. It's funny for me now."

range weekend

2006-10-22T18:48:00.000-04:00

so last weekend was range weekend at petawawa... every year there is always something stopping me from passing... last year was the crappy weather with me being under clothed... this year is the new ballistic eye wear... really... i lost the sense of the distance with it... and it can't really see very clear out of it... every thing just seems weird... i guess i just have to get used to it... but ht eface that i only got it on friday doesn't help... anyways... we got there late friday night... good sleep on the bus tho... got there... i am the one who pick up the key to the room... two pte's and one cpl just happens to be with me, so we got assign to the same room... but we got the short end of the straw... when most room has tv and microwave our room has nothing at all... we don't even have two complete desks in our room... anyways... saturday was a looong day... we got up at five-thirty in the morning and did not sleep until one at night... we did a four relays rotation... one for the butt, one to shoot rifle, one to shoot pistol and one for support... i would not go in details on that... pistol was fun... but i did not pass... well i will next time... it is not that hard... but i was in relay four for rifle... and by that time the sun is already setting... we were shooting against the sun and the target was sooo dark... and for the night shooting... i was shooting at the wrong target for awhile... my target was number twenty-two for the day shoot and it's number twenty at night... i was shooting at twenty for a bit in the night shooting... oh well... i still passed... some how... i guess someone else was shooting at my target too...

the next day we did the gas hut... this time is more serious then last year's... more drill and longer drill this time... this year... we have two medics too... but this time they are both guys... instead of the two hot medics last year... and the result?? no one fucked up... including me... this proved one of the two points... one... we actually intentionally fucked up last year... including me... two... hot medics lends to injuries... during the two days in pet... there were a fighting jet flying in circle all day... is that how to train to fly?!... flying in circle??

lost and it's by-product

2006-10-10T15:53:00.000-04:00

so i finished watching lost season one on the weekend... blowing it in a rate of about four episode a day... and the by-product of it?? a leopard 1A5... a model of it of course... it is pretty much the same as the canadian's leopard C2 which fifteen of them are being send to afghanistan... but don't be confused it with the "world standard" leopard 2... i haven't done any models since like grade eight... so don't laugh at the quality of it... here is some photos of it... and what it supposed to look like...

hockey pool update

2006-10-10T12:13:00.000-04:00

okay... i can't believe this... but i am actually first in the pool... with really no super scorer on the team... just good defencemen... i am going to enjoy this moment when i can... because i know once those scorers in other teams starts scoring... i would be lucky if i am not last... here is the standings in my pool as of today... and my roster:

stupid customers

2006-10-09T16:32:00.000-04:00

there are always some weird customers coming in the store everyday... but some of them are kind of stupid... here are some example... there is this lady who is really old and weak... it's okay to be old and weak... i understand that... so she asked me to bag her stuffs in separate bags to make the bags lighter... so i said okay... and bag her stuffs in two bags... then she picked up a bag, put it back down and said... no, it's still to heavy, but split it into separate bags... so by the end... she has four lighter bags... and she carries them away from the counter... two bags in each hand... so... how does separate her stuff in to more then two bags make her carrying light?!... i don't know... and there are some people who loves to search and reach to the back of the refrigerator to get the carton of milk with the longest expiry date... even tho they would have to move everything out of the way to get to the back... and the one in front is not going to expire in more then a week... and he/she pretty much buy milks like every few days... and what's up with thanksgiving porn?? i don't believe the amount of porn i sold today... is it some holiday thing?? or is the mother in-law that hard to stand...

hiking on the sugarbush trail

2006-10-09T11:45:00.001-04:00

the original plan was to go hiking with the party of five... but it ends up that corey somehow hurt his jaw from a night of drinking in thirsty toad... gaytri is too busy from her midterm studying... tiff is actually in kamploo(?!)... and lado doesn't actually like running around in the wild that much... so that didn't fly... so i end up going with my mum, my sis kate and my dog tony instead... the plan was to go somewhere cool like king mountain or pink lake... but then i found out on the website that no domestic animals allowed in those trails... stupid ncc... stupid national capital act... almost as stupid as the tobacco control act... anyways... so we went to the visitor center and ask which trail allow dogs and is actually nice... the lady asked how long do we plan to hike for... i said about an hour or so, since tony can't really walk that long... so she points us to the sugarbush trail, which is right beside the visitor centre... which... i don't think it's that nice... so i asked if there is other place beside that, and she said... it's complicated... so i asked... what do you mean?... and she said oh well all the parking lots are full... and she never actually tell us which other trail allows dogs in... anyways... so off sugarbush we went... it's short... nothing special trail...and full of asian(?)... the one interesting thing i saw was a cute little bat keep flying around people in a circle... here are some photo i took:

ex sens d-men

2006-10-09T11:45:00.000-04:00

sens gave up a lot of d-men over the years... some of them they never play... some of them they just never play them enough... but one thing for sure... some who are not so important, or non-regular player actually end up getting more chance to play in other teams... here is a list of some ex sens d-men and the minutes they played on friday or saturday:

chara 33:33
pothier 26:29
salo 23:18
gleason 21:38
de vries 18:35
york 10:05
kwiatkowski 9:22
norton 5:16
brookbank scratched
hnidy scratched

we all know the story of chara, so there is nothing much to talk about... pothier... well... i always think he is kind of iffy... but then he started to score at the end of last season... and started to play more... the caps actually both pay and play him big... good for him... he will not be missed... but really... how could he play 26 minutes?!?!?! salo... skip... it was a fair trade for schaefer... gleason... he was traded for smolinski... now he is playing 21 minutes in carolina... de vries... poor guy... never actually have the time to fit in... york... ain't this guy going down hill... kwiatkowski... martin is his biggest fan... not playing for him in florida... plays both d and wing... but schubert is much better tho... norton... he only played seven games in ottawa... with 31 pim... and now he is a regular in detroit... brookbank i don't think he even play a single game for sens... and hnidy... good old hnidy, mr let's take the body and not the puck... good thinking... but always end up missing both... with attempted big hits...

miss-drafted fantasy hockey

2006-10-08T11:34:00.000-04:00

no, i didn't miss drafting anyone for the hockey pool... i missed the draft all together few weeks ago... i was taking a nap... so the draft was done automatically for me... the thing is... i did pick that players i wanted ahead of time... but the problem was that... i didn't position them on my list... so that... i have all the defencemen at the beginning of the list... so my first five picks are all defencemen!!! and since all the forwards are drafted in the later round... all the good player are already gone!!! but guess what... after four days in of this season... i am forth out of seven in the pool!!! here is my draft picks... i did make some adjustment after... to save my pool this year tho:

1. W. Redden D
2. S. Niedermayer D
3. C. Pronger D
4. B. McCabe D
5. S. Zubov D
6. P. Datsyuk C
7. D. Briere C
8. L. Nagy LW
9. B. Shanahan LW
10. K. Lehtonen G
11. D. Hasek G
12. M. Svatos RW
13. M. Knuble RW
14. M. Sundin C
15. T. Holmstrom LW
16. Ju. Williams RW
17. J. Giguere G

so far... i have dropped holmstrom and lehtonen and got daniel sedin and bergeron...

johnny's new table

2006-10-07T01:55:00.000-04:00

friday night was poker night,
hoped that it would make my weekend alright.
johnny got a new table,
so we all can go gamble.
i did much better then i expected.
i was third place and got my money back.
it was mid autumn festival,
everything was wonderful.

okay, my poem writing skill is as bad as my poker skill... but i think it got the message across... poorly but i guess it does the job...

variable speed of time

2006-10-06T14:19:00.000-04:00

have you ever feel like that when you are in a hurry, time seem to go so much faster... everything seem to move much slower... and drivers on the road seem much dumber?? and when you have all the time in this world to get some where, everything just moves smoothly and you can arrive to your destination in no time... i really think the clock is playing tricks on us... maybe that crazy guy abes and i met outside mayfair is right... there is hundred second in a minute... we just have to find that extra time... i was going to my orthodontist appointment yesterday over at carling and the queensway... i have ten minutes to there there so i know i was going to be late... it took me more then twenty minutes to get there... and after that i had an appointment for oil change for my car, which is at huntclub honda... but i have thirty minutes and it took me around twelve minutes to get there... so what is up with this eh?

jasper & local hos

2006-10-06T13:09:00.000-04:00

so jasper is in town for an army news course... and he is bored out of his skull for the last month in his hotel room... so me, him and heather all came out for a little reunite... gaytri came along too and pat showed up later in the night... we pick local heroes because it's game night... we didn't actually watch the game... the game sucks for sens fans... we chat for the whole time... so... jasper... doing the xmas video for the troops over sea... writing stuff for maple leaf... it does sounds like a fun job... he is joining the reg force as officer next year... heather and him were going back and forth with stories from kingston this summer... man i wish i was there... everyone was there... sigh... oh i ordered chicken fajitas as i usually do in local hos... and it ends up that thursday is half price fajitas day!!! wow... what a pleasant surprise... so... amount four of us... we each got a pitcher through out the night... and when pat showed up, we kind of sucker him into buying one more, even tho he only drank like half pint... we had talk of going down to elgin after... and that didn't fly... well jasper is around till the end of october... so we will have time to show him that ottawa is not that boring afterall... haha... yeah right... it's was a boob grapping good evening... we also show kid rock and a crossdresser...

stumble upon 2

2006-10-04T00:20:00.000-04:00

so i was stumbling online and i found this site... with some really interesting images... some really freaky photoshopped pics from the puppetland... some really cool weird looking photoshopped cars...

the office season three premiere

2006-10-03T16:54:00.000-04:00

soo... after months of wait... i missed the damn season premiere two weeks ago... then i watched the second episode last week... and learn that jim transferred to another brunch and pam has dumped her fiancee... and jim and pam did get together... and i was sooo want to know what happened... and want to punch myself of not watching it and didn't download it... anyways... and then i downloaded and watched it... what a fucking disappointment... with all the hype from nbc, it is a really disappointed premiere... they could do more drama in that... in jim and pam... in pam and roy... in jim make up his mind to transfer... soo much to do... but instead they picked to tell what happened with a little flash back... sigh... anyways... still a good show... still funny... i guess i just expected a bit to much on the jim and pam thing... here is a clip from the last episode of last season...

soldier skills refresher weekend part 2

2006-10-02T17:14:00.000-04:00

so in the mines awareness class, they talked about booby traps... like the cans with explosive used in vietnam... because americans loves to kick stuffs as they walk, especially soft drink cans... and those used in afghanistan... they used dogs as a booby trap... putting bomb up a dog's ass... with the wire coming out from its ass to a detonator... they also used kids to draw troops to the side of the road and then set off the bomb on the side of the road... many kids were killed that way... i should've put this with the other post... but i forgot...

soldier skills refresher weekend

2006-10-01T20:59:00.000-04:00

it was an overall fun soldier skills refresher weekend at the regiment... butt sizing and pistol on friday, nbcw (nuclear, biological and chemical warfare) {i think that's what it still called} and marksmanship on saturday, nav, gps and mines on sunday... i exchanged my butt to a small... i am talking about rife butt of course... now it's a little bit lighter and i found that the center of mass is closer to the body... a bit more stable to hold i think... pistol was fun too... light, plus it's something new... nbcw was boring... it was taught by the future rsm (regimental sergeant major)... so can't really fuck that up... i didn't know that iran has more subs then canada... more planes... more everything... the second half of the nbcw course is just us propaganda... it's just movies from the us talking about terrorist threats over and over again... nav was easy... for gps, we learned the old rockwell plugger and not the new dagger... and the plugger is so big and old... anyways... mines awareness' classroom part was a bit long... i didn't know bosnia and herzegovina is surrounded by land mines... but the practical part was okay... we practiced how to detect mines by probing... the weekend would be much better if i wasn't sick... i was so tired through out the weekend... it sucks...

sens preseason game

2006-10-01T18:48:00.000-04:00

so... gaytri and i went to see a sens preseason game vs the habs... but due to the weather and traffic... we were like twenty minutes late... we are not the only one that were late... it was like everyone was late... anyways... it was an okay game... the sens were winning like three-one after the first period... it wasn't a close game... it was like we all know the sens is going to win all along... gerber... hmm I don't know... i am not sure about gerber... he just looks... unsure some times... kaigorodov was useless... ineffective... preissing... he is just not pressing hard enough... how can he get push away by a forward... allison on the other hand wasn't bad... can't wait till the season starts... anyways... but wow... ain't beer expensive at the bank... gaytri and i were in the coca-cola family zone... there were soo many kids in that section... there were these three stupid kids seating behind us... all they did were just talk and talk during the whole game... talking about stupid stuffs... and throwing popcorns... stupid kids... oh and we saw alex and rob after the game... gaytri sign up for those credit card again... just to get a sens hat... and it ends up that the one she got is broken and tried to exchange it... and the mbna guy was giving her a hard time... wow... what a fucking asshole... no wonder when one guy was walking by the mbna counter and was asked to apply for a card and the guy just flicked the mbna people off and said fuck you...

hump day poker at mark's

2006-09-28T15:58:00.000-04:00

poker at mark's... five bucks buy in... with two players bought in twice... there were eight people playing... some of them are polly and mark's friends since kindergarten... sorry i don't remember their names... qi was there too... lado drove me there so i was actually drinking... i left two cans of strong bows at mark's tho... so guess who won? yup... yup... you are looking at his blog now... anyways... i was just lucky... so... i took the public transportation to carleton to meet up with lado... and i can't believe that both the bus and train were ten minutes late... that really scares me because i would've be sooo late... after poker we all went to play soccer in the dark... well... not me really... i was catching up with polly...
