Last night, I, along with a whole bunch of other people attend a retirement dinner for my coworker, Bob. Officially, his last day is on the 29th but that’s a Saturday and who wants to come into work on Saturday? We teased him about that and he told us where to go. Bob has been [...]

A couple of weekends ago, I attend my friend’s wedding in Mississauga. It was a dark and rainy night which isn’t much of a setting for weddings but nonetheless, they went through with it. He’s known as the token Vietnamese guy in our group because during high school, he was the only Vietnamese guy that [...]

I grew up in a family of five boys. I don’t think that we were a rich family but my parents had enough money to make it by. Having to worry about feed five boys is probably a hard feat to undertake but my parents did a good job. I thought that we had it [...]

I don’t know why some people forget my name. It’s not as if it’s hard to remember. It’s only three letters so it’s very simple. I can sort of understand if they forget my name and don’t say anything but it’s another thing to call me by another name. I don’t know where they get [...]

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of overtime at work because I have a project to complete. In this project I’m responsible for the encryption of three hundred or so laptops. It’s a repetitive process and I can probably do most of it in my sleep. In order for me to encrypt the drives, I’ve [...]

I can’t help it but blame our [...]

A courier arrived at my house yesterday afternoon and knocked on my door. At the time, I was at Centre Mall grabbing lunch with some coworkers. Since I wasn’t around to answer the door, the courier left a notice informing me that there was a package that I had to sign for. I didn’t get [...]

A life can be taken away as easy as blowing out a candle. It doesn’t take much effort to end it all. It takes a long time to gain a life but only a moment to lose it. Tonight, my friends and I mourn the loss of a good friend. There aren’t enough candles to [...]

Today, I turn a year older. I’m now twenty seven years old. So far, it doesn’t feel any different than 25 or 26. I don’t feel like I’m old older and I don’t look any older either. I do feel like I’ve gotten a bit wiser. Mind you, I’m no genius or anything but I [...]

This is a continuation from my previous post about my childhood. I moved around a lot and ended up having to attend many different schools. At first it was a bit hard to make new friends but after a while I learned to cope with it. Making new friends and taking to new people wasn’t [...]
