    As a senior computer engineering student at UBC, my blog focus tends to be on trending topics in the tech world - but you'll also find me blogging about photography, games, music, cars, school and life in general.

The reason I stopped taking the bus.

2000 Acura Integra GS

Say hello to my 2000 Acura Integra GS! Not exactly the fastest car in the world… but it’s so much fun to drive. Yeah, I wish I had picked up a GSR or Type-R instead… but it’s unbelievably hard to find one that hasn’t been modded and beat up. Not to mention they were a little out of my price range at the time and co-op pay isn’t *that* great to begin with.  Anyway, there’s nothing quite like gunning down an empty SW Marine Drive at 3am in this little beast.

Give me one good reason why school is better than work.

Cuz quite honestly – I can’t. At least not in the UBC Engineering program where they force 6-7 courses on you every term and expect you to “learn” something. How the heck is anyone suppose to learn anything when they’re too busy going nuts trying to get the plethora of assignments and projects done while getting nailed with 4 tests in one week. Who came up with this retarded system anyway? What happened to my weekends? What happened to chilling out and making friends? What happened to having a life? In fact, what happened to learning?

vancouver 2010

As a Vanouverite all my life, I’ve always looked forward to experiencing the Olympics in my city. The tourists, the crowds, the languages, the excitement! And yet, the one time it comes to my city… I’m not there! What’s up with that?! I’ve dreamed about it all my life, goddamnit!

I guess life takes us to places we wouldn’t have imagined, and as a result we make our sacrifices. While I may lose the olympic experience now, I’m hoping the decisions I’ve made will pay off in some shape or form.
