The Gathering of the Cousins !!!

It's amazing how a irritating event actually united us cousins together.

We may have lost a black sheep in the family, but yet we have grown closer ... and I like the situation now.

Had an outing with them after meeting them in the evening for dinner, and we ended up at Bens n Jerry at Dempsey. Wooohoooo


See... from the old old cousins to the bengs and little ones... from talking about our parents and wat they did when they were young to uniting to curse the black sheep... hahaha

This trip back home wasnt wasted at all eh... the closer ties with my family is something which I had not anticipated. In any case, it is definitely something I look forward to when I come back home from Houston in April.

Even in Canada, I was lamenting to my colleagues when they asked if I were thinking of staying in Canada.

My reply was "Nothing beats home."

And I have not regretted a single bit of wat I said.

When ignorances turns into Racism....

On a separate issue, I am disgusted by a question from an asshole:

"Were you recruited in the Next Gen program becos you are the only Singaporean who can speak english"

I am totally appalled by this statement in fact. If one day I ever become a VP or GM, this fello is going to get shit from me man... muahahahaha


Seriously, that is like so rude to even to ask such a stupid question:

1) I was recruited by Eva Buskas, who was the Canadian HR and Next Gen coordinator. So if the question is trying to imply the incompetences of Asians/Singaporeans ... then the person is slapping his own face !!

2) Who the hell is he to know about the Next Gen Program ? Wait... that is y he is not even in the program to begin with...

3) I crack the occasional racist joke, but I know deep down I am not racist man... so this question felt like racism at its very core eh...


Oh well, there are always ignorant pple everywhere I guess...


Some engineers are just meant to be engineers all their lives... as for me ... I wanna climb the coporate ladder eh...

Something I will miss from Edmonton....

5 more days and I am gone from Edmonton eh...

Kinda weird feeling... becos on one hand i will be delighted to see my families and frens and the gang, but on the other hand I really made some great frens in Edmonton.

From my boss Yong... to my colleagues Bobby, Dave, Andrew and everyone in Downhole... I even made frens like Andre and his co. So to sum it up, the Edmonton stint has been a blast!

Food I m gonna miss:


A&W Breakfast


People I will miss most:


The Three Musketeers in office (From left: Bobby, Dave and me)


There's always a saying: "there is always a time to enjoy, and a time to say goodbye", the feeling couldnt be more right....

All the best to the ppl in Edmonton and I hope to see you guys soon !!

So hard to fathom sometimes....

Why is it so tough to speak the truth ??

Why is it so difficult to understand oneself...


So close yet so far....


Period

Jasper Skii Trip

We (Me, Bobby and Jennifer) were supposed to do a road trip from Edmonton to Jasper and then up our way across the mountains to Banff... but we got stuck in the snow halfway (red dot on the map) at Jasper... so we decided to stay in Jasper for skiiing.


Well, in fact, it actually turned out pretty awesome for us as the weather was fantastic for skii, according to Bobby.

Holly, my whole body is aching from the bruises from trying to learn skiiing...

As much as I want my legs to brake correctly, I couldnt do it man... so I was skiiing in top speed mode down the beginners' training hill... and falling all the time...|||






But I didnt feel bad or embarassed as they were lotsa of other adults with my predicament.

Hahaha.

Ultimaltely, Jasper was absolutely fun !!

2 more weeks and I am home !!!

Cant wait to see all the familiar faces again !!
