Tired of waiting.

I have wasted 2 weeks because I was waiting for a call that never came. When Next Monday arrived, I will take control of my life again. Things will never be the same again because I don't want to play by other people's rule. Uncertainty is not easy to live with.

I believe that I will make a different.

Vancouver Not Vegas

There are people in Vancouver who are trying to block the expansion of an existing casino. The casino is located in Downtown Vancouver and it is neighbouring 2 sports stadium. Following the success of a casino in nearby city, this company wants to have a mega complex with hotel rooms and more slot machine. The proposed casino will be built next to the stadium and that will include the demolition of an iconic building for the Vancouverites.

I can't say that I am against or for the development as I don't really care. It will not impact my life in any way. That's because I don't live in Vancouver and I also believe that Vancouver doesn't know how to plan its city. The lack of planning is killing me.

I don't really know how to describe Downtown Vancouver. It has lots of office buildings and lots of residential buildings as well. It also has the so called entertainment district with bars, night clubs and a theatre complex. Downtown is not a ghost town after people had gone home from work. Lots of people live and work in downtown.

I can see why people are against the proposed the Casino expansion. They don't want crime and visitors to go to their living space. They want to build a neighbourhood for themselves. They have spend lots of money in buying in the area, and they don't want to share it with common visitors. As we all know that visitors don't normally care about the well being of the nieghbourhood.

The proposed complex also sit in front of some expensive homes as well. Some people have spend millions in purchasing the condo that faces a creek. It is obvious that they want to live in peace. But how can people live in peace when they live in front of a park?

Vancouver, as a region, needs to figure out where the entertainments should be. However, people want to have their cake and eat it. The politicians aren't helping at all. They are not doing enough to help with the planning and forced people to live in cramp quarters.

Vancouver really needs to wake up and smell the frozen waffles. People need to stop drinking the kool aid fed by the politicians and housing developers.

The life is changing

SO here I am thinking about a sports coupe, a 2+2. It is because I am no longer a family man and dream about going on a road trip with my new bride. a 4 door sedan is nice and good for cruising. However, I rather drive a car that made for driving.

It's Wednesday

It's Wednesday morning and I am still waiting. I have been patient and this is killing me. I don't know what to do today in terms of work. Do I keep telemarketing or do I just play video game. I don't mind to take a few days off again. I just want to get my status updated and to plan out other things.

I am not a person who enjoy uncertainty. Given the speed of information these days, human decision is still slow.

Job Interview

I went for a second interview with a recruiting firm yesterday. Judging from the partners' reaction, the meeting went well. They asked for a work reference and I send it out yesterday. The job offer will depends on what my reference said as we talked about how I will fit into the organisation. If I was to be selected, I would be very pleased.

I am nor sure what I will be doing today. I am just anxiously waiting by my mobile phone today. I should be receiving an email or a phone call soon

Winter Conditioning

I have been exercising a lot lately. The weather is still crappy and I have been working out indoor. It is good that I have a gym at my complex. I have been using the thread Mill and the the climbing machine. I can easily run 3 miles in about half an hour. I still have some fitness left over from last year.
