The other kind of Project
Tuesday, February 28, 2006
I believe this is blogger style #10. Blogger templates just makes it too easy to keep changing things up (^_^)
Anyway, as most of you guys know, I have been planning on going to a project with Campus Crusade to some *cough* asian country. Danny, Scott, Sheridan and Wong graciously wrote me a reference for it :p
One thing that I never considered was that all of these projects start at the beginning of May, overlapping with my graduation ceremony. I really wanted to go with Crusade, but I'm having a tough time figuring out how to handle this conflict. More details can be found on my xanga, which I have resurrected as a blog for the CRU blogring. I'd appreciate your prayers, as I have no idea what I'm going to do until my summer plans get more cleared up :(
Thanks!

The 2004 Collection.
Monday, February 20, 2006
Hmm, I've been meaning to make this post for a while now - a trip down memory lane, so to speak.
The summer of 2004 (also known as the Summer of Laziness and Unemployment) was mostly spent on improving my HTML and drawing skills. I spent alot of time designing an art website for some reason (d'oh!), and I also mass produced a bunch of photo websites. Most of em are down already (amazingly, my artwebsite hasn't been erased by my uncle yet), but I have most of the html and photos stored in my special "PROJECTS" folder.
Here's a brief archive of these so-called projects:
Project Bailar
Project Birthday
Project Char-Uzu
Project Frenzy
Project Rally
Project Logos
= Amazing Calgary Guys + 2004 Olympics
Yah, I have a thing for cool codenames (^___^)
For those who remember, the Car Rally site actually was pretty cool; it popped up as a new window and had a lot of tables, but I wrote that one directly (no practice html), so it doesn't work anymore :(
Hehe so I just felt like making all of you Calgarians nostalgic about 2004 :D
I still have all the photos from each website if you didn't save em to your hard drive yourself.
Other than that, I guess I'd better get back to studying for my midterms (o_O) !

Nostalgia in Five days
Thursday, February 16, 2006
Another reading week in Calgary, and another week of fun memories (and no reading)!
In order to recap my visit back home for those who weren't there (*cough*Waterloo*cough*), I decided to copy how Wired magazine designs their monthly calendars.
So without further ado...
- 10th - Took WestJet back home to Calgary. Leather seats + Live satellite TV = why the heck do I keep flying Air Canada ??
- 11th - Last minute get-together at my house. 2 hours of hoopla devolved into mindless fun where we made up clues for each other to act out. Yet another night where things kept going downhill hehehe...
- 12th -Went to the new First Alliance Church; had Laksa for dinner (mmm.... malaysian/singaporean)
- 13th -Actually studied (o_O), and played floor hockey with the guys at night. The guys then filled out a reference form for me; i'll admit they said good things about me, except when it got to the question "How does the applicant relate to members of the opposite sex?" (>_<) - grrr....
- 14th - Spent valentine's day studying (w00t!!), and eventually dropped in on the guy's bible study. Good conversations sparsed with my usual lame jokes :D
- 15th - Finally tried out the Xbox 360 @ Sheridan's. Perfect Dark Zero was pretty cool, but Geometry Wars was surprisingly addictive. Went out for sushi for Jeremy's birthday, and later had a 'mini-strath-reunion' with Vanessa.
- 16th -Watched Team Canada own Germany :D. It was sad that I had to leave Calgary so early, but I'm glad I avoided that crazy -39 weather!
That's all I have time to post for now. I'll update later after my conference with Campus Crusade (and after my midterms too !). Thanks for hanging out with me Calgarians, I'll make sure to head back sometime in the summer :D
