well, i guess for my last day of work it was pretty tiring. today i recieved 70 suits. 33 sports jackets. 30 belts. 18 socks. 16 hankerchiefs. 30 pants??
all in all. i had to recieve over 200 items including random stuff.. and well i put like a trillion security tags on everything. it’s really quite tiring.
each suit requires 3 tags.
each sports jacket needs 2 tags.
pants, belts, hankerchiefs all need 1
i can’t remember what else i recieved. but lemme tell u, it’s over.
i was pretty happy but then i decided to try to cash in my check at the atm. then… i got owned cuz the machine like… took my check.. where it wasn’t suppose to or something. and then my transaction never went thru. so now i gotta go phone td for my check money back. argg what a mess. oh well i guess i gotta go thru it sometime.
all in all, it was a good experience. working at harry rosen. or just working for money. hah changes the way i think about money.. well a bit. now i spend money even more carefully than i used to. how is that possible?
anyways. everybody’s gotta start somewhere for a job. and this is a start of something good.
dinner time. pooped.

lets go to the EX!
yesterday was very fun. went with my old school friends:
-m3b (chris, kev, tim and i)
-my sister(s) (joanna, maggie and bernice)
it was so fun, we watched shows – bought stuff. ate stuff. slept some.
first we started by going to the superdogs show. that was pretty good, but not as good as lunch. cuz we ate like 10 hotdogs and 5 spegetti bowls. they were so cheap. and pretty good too. then while we were watching this magic show called mysteract. i fell asleep and all i kno is i kept on getting poked in the face by a finger. like evry now and then. i’m really not impressed by magic since i’ve seen david blaine. that man is just insane.
then after that we watched mike mandel hypontize a bunch of people. my sister and bernice went up. but only bernice went into a trance. she did the funniest things.
most of it was the usual. but then stuff like whenever ‘mike’ pulled out a hankerchief this one guy would have the urge to leave his chair and swap with someone else. and if they didn’t, he would be like “i’m from trenton, kingston I DEMAND YOU to get outa that chair” and they did it was so funny. anyways there are video clips i’m gonna see if i can get them. bern was so sad she missed the show cuz there’s like a time gap after u get hypnotized. you lose like 1 hour while ur in the trance.
then when we went into a washroom (which was the trigger to get back her memories) she was like. i hate u guys
then we went to this thing called ice and sky. which was really cool cuz they combined acrobats and ice skating. and the acrobats scared me half to death. but it was so beautiful and nicely done and well in the end i’m glad no one died or got hurt and it was quite enjoyable.
shopping for a while then saw the human cannonball.
bmped into nikhil, anne, zen, nat, igor, wenxin, sean, vlad, kvn, heidi, and um… jimmy i’m sure there was more but yah.. that was nice seeing them and enjoyable (cuz a certain individual was drunk)
and wow the human cannonball was so cool. i’m suprised he didn’t die logging over 5000 shots.
went to get dinner. had free food since they were closing like 9 peices of chicken. and um. well it started to rain so we just ditched the fireworks cuz we wouldn’t have seen them anyways in the clouds. all in all.
the ex did not disappoint
i recommend going w/ a group of friends some time. i went with my family.
family pass:
kevin, joanna, maggie and i. (what a famly)
anyways.. there was no moral to that story. i just wanted to have it on the record incase i ever wanted to read my day!

one way or the other. no in betweens.
once you make a decision, you better stick with it. for better or for worse.
if you can’t tough it out, then you shldn’t have made that decision.
tenacity. the world needs more tenacity. even i don’t have enough of it. even if the world disagrees with your decision you should stick with it. (this isn’t of course applied to politics, because politics don’t work; most of the time anyways. and well the politicians arn’t always right.)
if your decision is right with God. stick with it. even if nobody seems to be on your side. some may say your stubborn – but if it’s a matter you truly support or believe in, then by all means you should go through with it. do not be discouraged.
learn when to say no and when to say yes. don’t be a pushover.
thats all.

It’s official. Camps Cancelled for the summer
I had so much fun at the staff party yesterday. I can’t believe it’s time to go already and say farewell. Hopefully i’ll see them more often during the year since I’ll live closer to them. Woot Go waterloo.
It’s always sad parting cuz you never know when you’ll see them again. but when you do it’s always such a pleasant surprise or feeling. i wish there was a better form of transportation, then i’d def. visit people more often. oh the good times.
sleeping pattern actually helped me out yesterday. stayed awake till 4:30am without breaking a sweat.
i miss camp.
i love camp.
hope i can go again next year.
i think the people make up most of the whole experience and this summer’s staff has been incredible.
Attitude, is what makes up for most of it. And on that note i’ll leave. cuz i’ll talk about attitude another time.
oh nostalgia. believe it or not i’ve been to camp 7 years now. and i used to be the camper that would raise their hands for the 2nd or 3rd year… it’s been so long. peace.

I wonder what it must be like to be an only child.
Maybe it helpes hone the qualities of living by yourself. Being independant. But you know the saying knves sharpen knives or at least in chinese, the saying is like that. And i think that having siblings really help build character and not just some great memories.
This summer i’ve spent the most time away from my siblings than i care to, and to think that now when i head off – it’ll be even longer.
My brother went to shad for a month. then after he came back i went to camp for a week, then when i came down he went up… so i think in total we’ve missed about 6weeks worth of time. my sister on the other hand just went up to camp for 3 weeks. and well i dunno i can’t really deal with so much time to myself.
it’s weird. you don’t miss something till it’s gone. not like i’m dying w/o them but i rather they be here. at least i can bug them or talk to them. on odd occasions.. actually many times. they’ll bug me. or at least my sister.
i luv having siblings. and if i grow up. i dun think i would just bring one child into my family. at least two. if my wife permits. but that’s thinking way into the future. haha 3 or 4 would be ideal then … again i’d be broke paying for like tuition and all.
amazingly we get along very well. no big fights anymore. never did have any. i guess – gonna miss them.
and before i kno it. i’m gonna miss my parents.
anyways. dinner time. it’s 9:30 and i still need to eat. so sad.
i hope in uni i’ll have friends that force me to eat w/ them.
later
