Cont: Computer is down
So actually I cannot. I read through the HUB magazine. and dream all
night about my new system.

Diary: Computer is down 2004-11-16
Mood:  crushed out
Topic: Miscellanous
My dearest bubby, my computer, a poor five-year-old, is finally down.
Luckily, my photos, most of them, are backed up in CD-ROMs.

Since my computer is down, I have been walking mostly in Mission Area,
and sometimes Burnaby Lake as well as Deer Lake in Burnaby.

Now I have to photo conservatively, so I am not going to fill up my
compact flash card too quickly. That is hard, as the fall color in
brief sunset is tempting me to capture them.

I am still indecisive of what configuration my next computer should
have. I want a powerful one but I am unwilling to make a big
investment on it. it will not last long anyway.

I wonder if I can wait until boxing day when all the great deal are.
it will be another one and a half month.

However, I am a web-addicted person.

Parade of lost souls
Topic: Weekend Fun
This is the 13th year Public Dream Society produce Parade of Lost
Souls. It becomes a tradition for the local East Vancouver residents
come out in costunes on the last Saturday of October, around the
Grandview Park on Commerical Drive.
I helped set up decrocation during the day. Here are my photos.

Diary Entry: 2004-10-24
I always want to change my career path. Since I started working as a bench-tech, I think seriously about involving in health information system, as well as in arts.

Diary entry: 2004-11-24
I was hoping to get out hiking in this sunny weekend. However, I felt sick and had my bed-rest. Feel bad.

Diary Entry: 2004-10-23 Picking grape as Sandy's
Though I hadn't go hiking, I went for my next best thing in this afternoon. Grape picking at Sandy's belcony. Mom and I were first warmly wlecomed by boy-boy. The grapes looked great in overcasted sun. We watched Sandy's neighbour cooking grape juice and got a lecture of wine-making from Sandy's Dad. What a great day!

Today I got almost every special stain.
