Over the weekend, I attended a Canadian Alumni Network event. The "Homecoming" event was held at the Apollo Restaurant at the Agora Garden, a fairly classy venue. The gathering turned out to be better than I had expected, and it was nice to be put in a social environment again - handshaking and handing out business cards. There'll be an SFU Taiwanese Alumni ice-breaker at the end of the month, so I'll try to attend that too.

Last night, it was raining like I hadn't seen in a while. Just pissing. I spent my day (yesterday) at a customer site, and I saw one car-meets-scooter accident on my way back to the office (~5 mins away), and another on my way home from the office (~10 mins). Scootering in heavy rain sure is dangerous.

Right after I finished yesterday's dinner, I sneezed hard, causing some leftover food fragment to lodge near my nasal cavity. I've had this before, usually a grain of rice or something, and the discomfort is astounding. With enough nose-blowing or back-of-the-throat movement, it comes out the nose or through the mouth. My attempts to blow it out my right nostril was to no avail, but it later freed itself in my mouth on my scooter ride home. I never saw it before I spit it out, but I can say that it was bigger than could fit through my nose... and was covered in mucus. A piece of meat, I think. Ick.

My washroom seems to have been overtaken by ants. I only noticed a couple of days ago, but when I did notice, they were already all over the place - though not in great numbers. It's strange because I don't have any food around my place; and besides that, I only see them in the washroom. If it's not raining this evening, I'll make a trip to purchase some kind of anti-ant solution.
