horrible days....

there were many times in the past few days that i wish i didnt come back to toronto.

here's the short summary of list of events (mostly bad events) that happened since i got back to toronto.

-thursday before work -- went to a travel agency to let them take care of my chinese visa stuff, because i'm too busy to goto downtown myself

-thursday before work -- went to futureshop to get a pda for work purposes

-thursday during work -- could not use my credit card to purchase the plane ticket. end up using the company card to purchase it (very not good)

-thursday during work -- very busy, but had to leave work early to have see condos with my mom

-thursday after work -- drive mom to her friends' place and stayed there until 12am (not good)

-friday before work -- could not get up in the morning, mom told me to tell my gf to "re-ask" her uncle/aunt to join us for dinner on saturday (not good)

-friday during work -- the new person who suppose to come with me to vegas next tuesday as my backup, cannot goto vegas due to his recidency status (not good)

-friday during work -- very busy, but had to leave work early to have dinner with aunt's family

-friday after work -- had an argument with my gf concerning the "re-ask" her uncle/aunt, mostly my fault (very very very not good)

-saturday morning -- went to t&t supermarket, went to pick up my passport but they told me that they did not get my passport back from the chinese consulate. they *promise* me that they'll get the passport from chinese consulate on monday and drop it off at my house (very very not good because if i still dont get my passport on monday, i'll have A LOT of problem going to vegas on tuesday morning)

-saturday afternoon -- drive grandparents to lunch, family friend came over to visit, then drive mom out to look around the neighborhood

-saturday night -- dinner with gf and her dad, basically i was so tired and so many things on my mind that i dont know what to say during the dinner (not good)

-saturday night -- chat with mom until 1am

-sunday morning -- Sunday Service at Jaffray Alliance Church, then had dimsum with grandparents

-sunday afternoon -- pack stuff with mom, then drive her to airport (drop by my company to let her see my work environment)

-sunday night -- here i am, very exhausted and i can collapse anytime (which is probably 30 minutes from now)


there are many things that i am quite thankful of throughout this weekend, it's just that my mind is constantly being occupied by this string of bad things that happened....

woohoo!!! not only i'm on track to go back to toronto, i actually get to go back to toronto a day earlier due to the ac ticket being too expensive on the 24th.

i will be very busy during my 5-7 days stay in toronto. my mom will come over to toronto for grandpa's 87th birthday. so for most of my stay in toronto, i'll be having a lot of meal gatherings.

might have to work nightshift today, i'll know by 3.30pm.

oh man, i just had my fifth consecutive lunch buffets (2x sahara, 1x palms, 1x hilton, & 1x palace station). fortunately, two days ago i went to the gym for 1.5+ hours, so i think i still manage to keep my weight stable! :p

FINALLY!!! i have a return date back to toronto! :p

currently i'm scheduled to head back to toronto on the 24th and stay there for around 5 days. my mom will be heading over to toronto at the same time for it's my grandpa's birthday. after the 5 days in toronto, i have to go back to vegas for a week before my vacation commencing on july10!!!!

i went to grand canyon again couple days ago. you can see the pictures at http://www.imagestation.com/members/awy2lee. i didnt take that many pictures, for ken.r and i went on a hiking tour and we barely have enough physical strength to make it back up the canyon! :p

my 4th nightshift of this trip will commence in 10 minutes, gotta jet now~

i am stuck in vegas.....seriously.....
with the original schedule, i should be on a plane on my way back to toronto right now. however, due to some major schedule changes by the company, now i am stuck in vegas indefinitely.

this also mean i won't be going to the hk project anytime soon, which also messes up my vacation plans....

the initial purpose for my trip to vegas was to fix a problem that was causing train stoppages. i fixed this problem on the first day i got here, but immediately follow, my manager wants me to stick around vegas until the project goes into revenue, despite that there is no more train stoppages due to the system that i work on.

anyhow, a few of you know that i became quite irritated earlier this week due to all the different schedule changes. but thanks to my gf for comforting me and putting up with my frustration, i feel a lot better already.

well, time for me to concentrate back on my work again >.<

it's 40+ degrees celsius during the daytime =(. i hope temperature in hk won't be as hot when i go there next week.

oh, btw, i'm in vegas again.

got here lastnight flying with aircanada for the first time in 9 months. bumped into some familiar faces in the airport. the first person is a uw classmate: kelvin.s. he's heading off to san francisco for business trip. as i was chatting with him at the waiting area, i saw another familiar face walking by me. it's ken.r from the vegas site office. i didnt know he's on the same flight as me.

anyhow, i'm working the night shift again though i've already worked 8 hours in the daytime (8am-4pm).

i'll keep the blog short such as to write *more* short blogs rather than *few* long blogs~ :p
