My New Wheels

So today Mom and I went out to look at the car offerings around Bowmanville. We ended up finding one at the Oshawa-Whitby at Owasco VW.

So as you can see, it is indeed a Golf. A 2001 Golf GLS to be exact. It isn't a diesel since they really are a bit harder to find; but no problem. You'll notice it is 4-door--I hear clapping in the distance. Can't forget to mention the sun-roof and heated seats. :) Oh, it only has 62,700 KM on it, so plenty of life left in it.

The scheduled pickup time is 2PM Thursday. Can't wait to call it mine!

Time to Fly

With just about 2 hours and 45 minutes left, I am heading out the door to check-out. I'll see you all on the other side of the globe...well our side. :)

Picture from Dinner

Just received a copy of a picture taken at the dinner last Friday. From left to right we have: Wai Ming, Sham, and myself.

It Has Been Confirmed

So it has been confirmed that I'll be on vacation from this Friday through to the 19th of December, returning to work on Tuesday the 20th (for a few days). So in just over 25 hours I'll be on vacation (minus the flight time of course). :) Looking forward to seeing everyone, as well as being a proper Canadian citizen.

The Final Stretch

Well we are approaching the final stretch; just over three days left. :) This past weekend didn't go quite as I hoped. I had intended on going to another part of Georgetown and do a little shopping, etc. However, due to the "day-time" hours I've been living I slept far to late.

The weekend wasn't an entire waste Friday night I went to the Annual Dinner for the organization within the client company I'm working for. It was an entertaining event, if not artificially extended by their seemingly pointless skits.

Saturday was spent mostly chatting with Dad and teaching myself Mozilla XUL. For those who care to know, XUL is the language which the gecko rendering engine understands. That probably means absolutely nothing to most people. But for those of you who are still reading this, I have started to implement a BOINC Client UI.

Today I went with Sham and her family to Batu Ferringhi, where we had dinner and wandered the night market. One huge difference between Batu Ferringhi and Georgetown is the number of tourists. Batu Ferringhi is the tourist location on the island of Penang. Which is also location of the Golden Sands resort at which I could have transferred to for weekends....but I never did get around to that. Between working and sleeping I never managed to do so. :(

Anyway, I'll be seeing everyone very soon! :D
