Wasaga Beach

Went to wasaga beach today for a bit of BBQ and fun in the sun. Today's weather was just perfect; no rain and not too hot. I can't remember when's the last time I went to a beach and actually got in the water. For sure I have not done that in the past 20 years that I've been in Canada. Today, we played some water volleyball, monkey in the middle, running against the waves. Haven't done any good exerciese like this in a while, I'm dead tired!

Thanks to mun for organizing. It was great to hang out with my closest buddies from high school. Even Billy and Eli are back (for their big day next week, congrats). Haven't seen them in over a year!

I'm Back

People's been asking if I've been abducted for the past couple weeks, well, of course not! I took some time off to spend some time with my Grandma, Aunt, and cousin who came to visit us from Vancouver. They just left this morning so life is now returning to normal. Speaking of which, I was on the way to the airport and back between 5-6am, and as you probably heard by now, there was a truck rollover on westbound 401 just before 6 this morning. Luckily I just missed the massive traffic jam.

Work is slowly (a bit too slowly) picking up the pace now. There was a recent re-org in my department and now I'm officially transitioned to a new team. I'm still under the same manager but going to be working on some entirely new stuff so that should be exciting. But I feel a bit lost since everything is so new and still very uncertain about how it's all supposed to work.

One more piece of news is I got accepted to the ConGESE MMath program at Waterloo. The ConGESE program let's you take the degree part-time and courses are offered on-site at the workplace. If all goes well, I should be starting classes in January.

That's all for now. P.S. Happy Birthday Greeting #4, Coconut.
