Weekend Recap - Small World, Toronto Drivers, UW Logo, Blue Jays

Small World
This is a small world, and Nth post of my love with the notion of six degrees of separation.
This weekend I realized a friend of mine, G, whom I met via Viv, plays badminton with my brother's landlord, W. Imagine the surprise when I saw G's photo on the brochure, ha

More importantly, Pacific Ocean is not enough to separate destiny or fate :-)

Toronto Crazy Drivers
This weekend was shopping at Yorkdale, Pacific Mall, and some better Asian food.
Nothing fancy but a few observations
  • Personally I had to honk 3 times because drivers in Toronto did not know how to drive, the craziest sample of this fact happened when a car changed from the lane 3 (so you have Left Turn Lane 0, Lane 1-4 on Highway 7 & Woodbine) to lane 0, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. He/She was lucky no accident happened. Drivers should anticipate their directions, not react!!!!
  • Roots Outlet near Yorkdale sucks
  • Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1, finally, when it doesn't matter anymore. I got soaking wet walking there, because I only learned about the indoor SKYWALK on my way back to the Union Station (13 years in Canada and not knowing about it [built in 1989], shame on me)
  • The new Reminton Center to be built besides Pacific Mall will be HUGE, see for yourself (the bottom horizontal grey box is the Pacific Mall)



Netbook Take 2
Bought MSI Wind U100 for $320
Sold MSI Wind U100 for $360 shipped
Bought ASUS 1000H for $270 shipped - still too small for my fingers, but it will do
Bought Canada Computers 2GB Laptop RAM $33 - $15 MIR = $18
Installed the RAM and faster XP, later on Windows 7 = priceless



New UW Logo = Ugly

One more reason to not donate back to UW because they spend money on the wrong place :-)
