Snow !!! Snow !!! Snow !!!

It really snowed heavily last night & we woke up to a White White Morning !!! The snow was thick & was about 10cm high. The kids & my wife was to delighted .... we spent some time playing in the snow & also taking photos. The kids really enjoyed making Snow Ball & Snow Angel ........ Everywhere was like covered with PURE WHITE SNOW !!! It was amazing ... it was really a different experience when you actually see it compared to just seeing it on TV.

FALL has gone !!!

Move over "FALL" .... "WINTER" is here !! Today it had started to SNOW !! Although EXPECTED from watching the weather forecast but I was still surprise to see light SNOW covering the grass when I stepped out of the house in the morning. Then later in the afternoon .... SNOW started to fall again but it was not enough to make a SNOWMAN or SNOW-ANGEL.

My 2 kids are really excited to see snow & my son manage to make a SNOW ball this morning. Hopefully, it will have heavier SNOW fall in coming weekend... so that we can make a SNOWMAN & SNOW-ANGEL coz they have been practicing hard on the CARPET.

As for me ..... it will be a COLD COLD winter, since I need to get out of the house b4 7 am where sunrise will not happen until 7:45 am & the temp is very low.

Brrrrrrrr !!!!

EIT status obtained.

Finally today I have received the Welcome Package from APEGBC for successfully enrolled as an EIT. The process was much faster compared to what I have anticipated .... the most valuable document in the package is the "Certificate of Enrolment".



Now, all I need is an employment opportunity as an EIT. Hopefully my current employer will have opportunities opening sometime in the future.

Got KINECT !!!

Today we finally bought our own XBOX 360 with KINECT !!


We were really amazed with the technology when we 1st play the bundle game - Kinect Adventure. There maybe some hiccups here & there when registering my kids hand movement but overall playtime was fun !! The DVD even had some demo games - Dance Central, Kinect JoyRide & Your Shape Fitness Evolved which was also great to try them out.




YEEEEE HAAAA !!!

1st Day @ Work

Today is my 1st day of work & it is my very 1st official work in Canada. Had to wake up @ 5:30 am to get ready today & left the house about 6:20 am. Walk all the way to the Skytrain & transit to a Bus to the place I work. (Total Journey time = 1 hr) Working hour is 8 - 4 pm.

The company was pretty big (abt 4 floors) & everyones sit in a cubicle (even the Managers) .... it have a Cafeteria, Gym, 3 Small Pantry at each level, Personal resting area (for personal phone calls or small meeting) etc. It was like a maze in the office as everything looks the same.

Including me there are 5 new employees for the Temp Admin job. Hence this week is a training & HR orientation week. Moreover, we were all given a Log In username & password for accessing the Network & Internet - moreover we have our own personal e-mail but we still do not have our own PC to work with. PC setup will complete by Friday.

The most overwhelming thing about today is that we were each given the Company Guideline Booklets to read through which was about 50 pages thick & all the points was like it was written by a LAWYER ...
