The "Lost" Pics
These are really old pics (from Nov '05), but i just got them recently. Actually they are not exactly lost; they were on Olivia's camera and i totally forgot about them until recently. So here it is, some of my Amsterdam pics.
See that last picture? Me holding a bunch of clothes i brought from the H&M Stella McCartney line. I still have a long way to go to become a REAL backpacker. (sigh~)

Did you know that ...
... almost all stat holidays in Canada this year falls on a Monday? Of course, with the exception of Good Friday and Boxing Day (but Christmas Day falls on a Monday, so you get an extra long weekend!)
I was afraid that stat holidays in 2007 will somehow be shifted to a Tuesday or something. I just checked and looks like 2007 will be the same; all Stat Holidays on a Monday except for Christmas day which falls on a Tuesday. I dont think a lot of people will be going to work on December 24, 2007 (Monday).

It's been a great summer so far!
Some updates:
- my old digital camera kinda committed suicide when my sister brought it with her to Hawaii last month (she insisted she did nothing to it). Well, good thing that it did at the right time! I felt like hugging the kkysiu in 2004 and congratulating her on getting the extended warrenty. :) Since it's still under warrenty, I brought it in to A&B Sound to get it fix. I bet the cost to repair it is greater than the camera itself, therefore they offered a free replacement! After looking around I decided to pay an extra $50 to get .... ~da da da da~ this! The Olympus Stylus 720 SW is an awesome camera and definitely a step up from my old piece of sh... Anyways, this is almost like a free upgrade! Hehe lucky me! ;)
- i started to read more books lately. In my elementry years i was nicknamed the "bookworm" cuz I was always reading a book. I notice that i no longer suffer from motion sickness reading on the C-train now, probably cuz it's so packed that i cant even see the windows anymore! There's no time wasted during the ride and I am at least being productive. Best thing is I don't get angry when there is a service delay (this happens pretty often!) cuz it just means there's more time for me to read! After spending all this $ on books, i decided it's time to renew my library card after no having a valid card for 8 years. (As suggested by one of the readers of this blog :) I ended up with a new card cuz apparently they deleted all the inactive accounts. :( With the new online catalogue, it is so convenient to search and put books on hold. Instead of searching for books at the library and going thru the line-ups to put stuff on hold like we did 'back in the old days', all i gotta do now is search for the title at home and wait for the library to contact me when it becomes available!
Ok i am not done yet but let me write more in the next few days....
