Mandarin 1

Today is the beginning of the great study. This is where I begin to seriously learn mandarin. 

The first class was pretty good. There were actually about 6 or 7. Chinese out of 16. That surprised me because I thought I’d be the only one. One that I met said her parents were one canto and the other mandarin…

Blogging

Having been thinking of blogging most of the summer, I finally got around to getting a blog app for the iPod. It’s not the most ideal because it’s just so slow but it does allow on the go writting. The idea for mobile blogging actually came from the amine “ 5 cm per second” in which there’s a character who’s…

Life

I’ve been fortunate enough to have been doing quite a lot outside of work. Of September, I spent every weekend out atleast one night although usually two as well as one night atleast during the week. In perspective, i went out once or twice a month last year and even less the year before with only one active event…

Impressing management

I’m not sure if before I got this job I was dreaming of doing things no coop had done before and making a name for myself. Either way, I seem to be getting talked about a lot and my names getting around for my google sketchup abilities.

It’s pretty great when one goes to show someone…

Dinner With Esaly

Tonight I had a great night with Esaly. We meet after work and went shopping at London Drugs for some chocolates for her co-workers. We were originally going to go down West Hastings to a Malaysian restaurant for dinner but after the first bus was full and the restaurant closing in under an hour…

Belcarra park

Today was a walking day and I went to Belcarra park. This Metro Vancouver park is located north of port moody and is bounded on the south west and north by the burrard inlet and Indian arm extension. It’s sort of a point past side roads at the ends of town. 

Getting there was rather trouble some…

Work!

Finally I’ve procured myself some work. I will further be contributing to projects that will be progressing from the conceptual stages to a finished product. Even if it’s just working on some google sketchup drawings… It’s fun and work and a learning experience. On that note as well, mandarin school level 1 begins…

ESC Memento

The ESC Memento is well under way. It is, when complete, the largest google sketchup model I’ve ever done. Infact, right now it’s probably the biggest.

So far I’ve been working on the forward living areas. Mainly the cre compartments and washrooms. One of the biggest challenges is trying to get the right…

Sketchup

It’s nice to feel useful. At work I haven’t been doing much but I have done some google sketchup. And it’s being noticed. A whole bunch of people have stopped by to talk and see it; the manager even brought a client. That was pretty cool to see how impressed he was to see what he had designed and the model…

Are cities made for cars?

Recently.I read an article that said of an urban city’s land use, 30–40 percent was given to pavent and ashphalt. This seems to be about right considering it put roofs and thus buildings at 20 and vegetation at 20–30. But if this is true, then by ratio there is still more space…

Ski day 3

Saturday

Skiied blackcomb today. I spent most of the day on the glacier express bombing down heavenly delight. It was slightly cold on the fingers and the peak was mostly clouded in. The wind only cut up at the top so it was pretty good. Except for not being able to see much of the bumps in the cloud layer…
