Twisted Logic

You go backwards but then you go forwards
You go backwards but then you go forwards again


During congregation, I was standing in the line to the Chan Center staring at my degree. It felt like an eternity since my high school graduation (June 9, 2001) and here I was at my UBC graduation (May 30, 2006). Overall, I wouldn’t necessarily call the last five years the happiest days of my life, but I definitely had a lot of fun. There were many difficult and challenging periods that I wouldn’t have survived without the help & support of my peers, friends and family.

So I’d like to thank: Marian, the Lugs (Derek, Victor, Rich, Jowen), Doris, Conrad, Winnie, Zach, Jeff, Lloyd, Susan, Will & Steve, Nima, Mohit, Dale, Kyle, Bruce, Leo, Alan, Mak, Crazy Jon, Nubby & Courtenay, Eddy, Greg, Jimbo, Andreas, Jason B, Erikson & Tim & Jacky, Alvaro A, Brian, Henry, Scott, Tyler, Winton, Anthony, Charlene M, Linda, Salman, John Drover, Rosa & Andre, Linda Stocker, Sammi, Noreen Kamal, Michelle Lachmann, the Eng Fizz ultimate team (the Fizzbees) and hell I thank Madjid for not failing me in CHBE 346. I’m sorry if I missed anyone.

And of course, my cousins Ky & Chan, Uncle Sam, Aunt Lydia & Han and my parents.

Why post this? Geez, what if I got hit by a bus tomorrow? I thought my parents might’ve gotten in car accident the other day because, despite having work the next day, they didn’t get home until 1:30-2:00 am-ish. Turns out they took the bus back from the night market and managed to catch one of the last buses. My mom said I had a dirty mouth for suggesting the above. My dad just laughed.
