It has been a month since I came back from my holiday (Toronto).
It was a nice trip. I met my cousin and aunt whom I have not seen
for more than 20 years and two friends who have been helping me
a lot while I was in Winnipeg.
The very next day when I was back from Toronto, I wrote my UNIX
Admin. final exam and was planning to move to my roomate's sister
newly built house (north of the city). We (me and my roomate) thought
we would go to the State couple months after that. Many things happened
and many decisions seriously thought thru', finally we decided not to
go ... I was very disappointed at first, I think it would
be better if we stay here for couple more years. If we still want to
we can always go later, cause we are still young ... :>
Because of that we decided to moved back to downtown AGAIN hei hei...
or else I would have to force my roomate (her name is May) to wake up
as early as I normally do and drive her to downton, drop her off then
drive to work (I asked to work on a project where I need to go south of
the city). After work, I have to wait her at downtown till around 11
(sometimes even 12) before I can drive home (back to north).
On every Monday and Wednesday nights, I have to go for night course,
someway near downtown, so I will be exhauseted when I get off (9:15pm)
and still need to go back downtown and wait her at her office.
To make the story short, it was kind of inconvenient for both of us.
Within a month, we have moved twice!!! We are lucky to have few
friends and May's sister/brother-in-law to help us out.
Mentioning about friends, we recently come to know two good friends.
Jenny and Michelle. Jenny used to work for the same company as I do,
that's how we met and Michelle is Jenny's roomate.
When I introduced them to May, it is kind of funny that people
thought they were May's
old friends. Since the first day they met, May has been bugging them
(ie) went to their place during lunch and dinner time.
They can sure chat for hours everytime they are together. I think it
is all because they are so friendly and suit May's taste! :)
As those who knows May, she is very picky in many ways... making friends
too!!!
Not sure why we are always busy, I think it is because we normally do
things together (ie) most of the time we have to wait for each other.
Plus we drive back to Edmonton once in two weeks (for the weekend).
I have been doing lots of studying too... there are a few exams I would
sit for soon and hopefully would get some kind of certifications,
as the one I have been working (UNIX Networking Certificate)
since last year, September. Will be done latest by the end of this year.
I have been asking my mom and brother to come to Calgary. Hopefully,
one of my dreams will soon come thru'.
I guess that's all for now, I will write you all again.
Thanks for reading! Please come again!!!
