I post this some time after the federal election which to no surprise the Conservatives have won. The only real surprise was they were given a majority government which they truly don't deserve. Essentially what Canadians have voted for was for less transparency, more corruption, more waste, more military interventions and more tax cuts for the ( Read more... )

I don't feel like starting another blog since I have this one and another one on blogger.com and that's full of my car reviews(updated significantly more than this one I might add). Anyways my family is planning another visit to Hong Kong sometime in November since my dad went last year in November and said Hong Kong is even better during that ( Read more... )

Normally I don't talk about civil liberties because I thought they would always be protected and that the only time they'll ever be taken away is under severe circumstances. Since the G20 I no longer trust the ability of any level of government in Canada to truly safeguard our rights. The federal government is very busy in the process of ( Read more... )

Holy smokes its been months since I've used LJ. As the subject title indicates, I'm starting to have serious thoughts about moving. Ever since I gained a Hong Kong ID card and how much I liked the way Hong Kong is as a place is ever growing. I honestly don't think I have a future in Canada, the job market here is terrible its so depressing that the ( Read more... )

As one might notice I haven't posted a bloody thing since...May. Lately I've been very tired and have been working to such an extent that most of my days have been: wake up, eat, go to work, work, go home, eat, 1 hour of TV/Internet, sleep due to exhaustion. Having a life outside of work seems incredibly difficult these days ( Read more... )

I finally got the sort of trip I wanted to do for the longest time, have a trip to Hong Kong and Japan. I went from May 5 to May 24 since my parents couldn't get any plane tickets for May 4. Air Canada apparently wanted to fill planes for Hong Kong desperately that they lowered their fares to bargain rates. Before I took this trip, I didn't think I ( Read more... )

Since I've now driven even more cars than before I've got a good indication of how most of the automakers are doing. You can tell how they're doing just by the cars they're making, the nicer the car the more likely they're going to do well and on the reverse the more awful the car is the less likely they'll survive. So here's how I think they've ( Read more... )

Ever since working at Ecars my leisure time is certainly down drastically. Working from 7:30am to 6:00pm doing mostly physical work tires me out quite quickly. I have fallen asleep much earlier than I actually wanted to like say 9:30pm, only a few times where I didn't actually want to have some shut eye. The good news however is I actually made ( Read more... )

I sent my car to the body shop in July 7, 2008 early in the morning. At work I managed to catch a black Mazda 6 being cleaned in the back with no reservations, the bonus is that the car had been detailed rather recently meaning it didn't have pet hair or some other disgusting stuff people leave in rentals. I could have taken a Mazda 3 that day too ( Read more... )

I've waited for quite a long time for this ever since I started to like my Cressida. My Cressida will undergo body repairs to clean up all the rust and I've acquired the trim pieces I needed to replace. Sadly a few things have increased the cost of fixing the car. The first thing was my car was hit by an asshole hit and runner with either a SUV or ( Read more... )
