Industry Night

Attended the Industry Night by the ECE club. It’s events like this that made me wonder about if I will ever succeed in business. I’m not the type of person who hold my hand out to shake hands with anyone who come into my path. I’m not talkative, and my English is bad (I am having a particularly bad English day I think, people had trouble making out what I said).

A lot of girls from EE were there though, there’s even some HK girls there, which was kind of surprising.

The conversation at the table really sounded like job interview. -_-” And two of the people ended up leaving without saying goodbye, which I thought was not very nice.

And yea, the last speaker’s presentation is like a summary of EECE 476.

Overall, the night is still quite alright. But I did make the mistake of driving to downtown instead of taking the skytrain. I was stuck on Burrard street for 20 minutes. Not to mention parking costed $10…

Lacking in Concentration

I thought about going home for a nap after the morning class and return to school later for the night class. But I thought better of it.

Went to Koerner after lunch instead to sleep for a couple hours and then started reading. I find that if I read at the PC Lab back in MacLeod, I’d be tempted to go onto computer hardware forums. :p

My mind still wasn’t 100% on the reading even in the library though. Lack of concentration is a prevalent problem for me this year. Did I took in too much lead by accident?

Flooding

The rain washed out the snow pretty quickly.  By the afternoon, there’s not really visible traces of snow (other than places that had a huge stack of it).  Everywhere is flooded in UBC though.Bought a CD-shelf and mounted it on the wall just above my desk.  Didn’t have the time to populate it yet, so it’s pretty sparse for now.

$1 RAM

Got the RAM today, at the Best Buy in Coquitlam (!!!).  There’s only one at the place though.  I owe Harold a drink now since I was late by quite a bit, had to drive me around, from New Westminister to Coquitlam, and he didn’t get the RAM…

Oh well, just hope the rebate will work…

On a brighter note, it seems that warmer weather will come back soon!  😀

Friendster

Haven’t logged onto Friendster for so long, just found that Anthony, Sam and co. are on friendster.

It turns out there a lot of Killarney people are on there, haha.

When clicking onto random friend links, I would find that I am connected to certain people (who I know nothing about) in more than one way… I guess the Chinese community in Vancouver is not that big afterall.

BTW, what’s Zant’s real name anyway? I tried entering Anthony Ho and Friendster says I got it wrong? Did he change his name?

Oh, and my full name is David Mak for those who are interested in adding me. 🙂
