Lesbians in Tiananmen Square

I saw this pic on BoingBoing. Mmmmm... Cute (hard to tell from the angle but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt) Chinese girls kissing in front of Chairman Mao's face... Damn that's HOT! Death to the CCP!!!

張韶涵 - 潘朵拉

pandora cover

The first thing on my mind is WTF is “潘朵拉”? It means “Pandora”, phonetically represented using Chinese. Weird title, TERRIBLE cover. Angela’s new album is off to a pretty bad start.

On 康熙來了, she mentioned that the album will focus on a childish innocence theme with a lot of giddy, happy, even hip-hop-ish songs. Bad idea guys. The first three tracks are very bad and I don't think they suit Angela’s voice at all. Track one sounds like it was written in 1991 and the title track 潘朵拉 is probably the worst track on the whole album, barring the rap on track 7. Fortunately, it does get better from track 4--again, barring the rap on track 7. In particular, track 8 and 9 are both quite good; both showcases Angela's ability to hit the high notes well.

The truth is out!

In today's first Acma320 lecture, Dr. Parker said employers come back and tell him SFU Act. Sci. students are better prepared for the workplace than those from others universities. I believe him, though I've only seen UT's Mathematics of Interest exams. They are quite a bit easier than ours.

Wow Dr. Parker really slaughtered those people in Acma310. Passing grade had to be lowered from 50% ;). Official count of Acma320 says 27 people but quite a few of them weren't in Acma310... Or I at least I don't recall seeing them there at all. I'm surprised that I didn't see Joyce today; I hope she made it in. The hearing impaired kid wasn't there either--would've been interesting if he made it.

"OMG most exciting Canucks game... EVAR"

Jan. 7, 2006. This is seriously the best Canucks game I've ever watched. Best 3rd period ever, even with the collapse of Naslund by his bad pass. ARgh this puck over the glass shit is also very disheartening. But everyone was playing so hard, including those crazy Flames (YELLE WAS NUTS! I want a #6 jersey!). I LOVED IT!!!!! I wish I got it taped or capped cuz it was absolutely SEXY!!!

GO CANUCKS GO!!!

Oh and fuck Greg Millen:
1) "When you have an extra man, which you DO on a PP..."
2) "They won the face off because Yelle wasn't on the ice..."
3) "Uh I don't know about that one..."
And after the video replay:
4) "Oh I agree completely!"

And finally:
Millen: "So the Canucks get a bonus point in a hard-fought tie"
Hughson: "A hard-fought...4-3 VICTORY for the Canucks"

THAT'S RIGHT HUGHSON!!! FUCK YOU GREG MILLEN!!!!!

This is Wonderland

Haha I'm gonna miss watching TV when school starts. Last night I saw this show call "This is Wonderland" on CBC and it's friggin' hilarious! Everyone go watch it!

On hockey: Canada wins gold in World Juniors and Canucks FINALLY wins a game! It was 3-2 over Chicago, nice deke by Ruutu in the penalty shot (though I still don't like him), and a really cool and composed goal by Naslund. Good stuff.

Elections Canada / BC

I don't how they operate but it's not very impressive. It all started with the last federal election. My voting card arrived then with a typo in my middle name. Now I admitt it's easy to confuse an 'I' with a small 'L', and not to mention that it makes more phonetical sense. But hey, that's how the Portugese in Macau decided how '叡' should be phonetically represented. Yes, that is "Ioi", not the popular net-slang short hand "Lol".

I told the people at the voting place that my name is mispelled. They directed me to fill out some forms and I showed them my driver's license, and I thought that's that: no more Raymond 'Laugh out loud' Chiang. That's until I got my voting card a while back for the provincial election with the same mistake. No biggie. Provincial, federal. Different enity, poor communication, lousy efficency. This is Canada, what do you expect? So again, filled out some form, and la-ti-ta life goes on, with me assuming everything is now fixed.

So today I got my voting card for the upcoming federal election and I'm still Raymond Lol something Chiang. Idiots.
