Thanks McMaster

Lets see, last week on Monday I went to a Chinese wedding reception. Phoebe and Erine finally got married. It was in a nice restaurant, large space, with a lot of traditional Chinese functions. I haven't seen Alvin and Tina for a while so it was nice running into them. Alvin seemed like he was doing well landing a couple more modeling jobs including TVCs and an HSBC print ad. He lost his phone and actually today Tiff lost her phone as well! Some sort of phone adversion in their family. Phoebe and Erine had a great video played during their wedding, the producers did a good job giving Erine sort of a boyish charm. I think it was a success over all, well done.

I dropped by the Canadian Consulate in Central to grab some information about businesses. I had met up with Tiffany there and she hung out with me for a while. We had some "famous" Wonton Noodles and then dropped by my student's store, SJSJ in Lan Kwai Fong. Yeah so she lost her phone some time between when I last saw her and when she got home. I got a nice picture with the huge Christmas tree in TST though.

I'd like to thank Willa for inviting me to tonight's McMaster Alumni buffet dinner. I enjoyed the free food and the chance to socialize. The first person I ran into tonight was actually my collegue at SME Education, Alex. That was the biggest shock. He teaches English some evenings and I teach his phonetic classes once in a while. The dinner was nice, I wanted to talk to Willa about my plans for a business in China but I didn't want to mention anything about it around my co-worker. I got to meet several important people from McMaster Unversity including Peter George the President. I met a nice girl who just came in from Calgary and is working for marketing at Giordano. We plan to have coffee and maybe I'll show her Hong Kong. Sounds like a plan right? I have a side interest in the retail business. It was nice meeting university students again, I was starting to feel as if I haven't spent enough time talking to people who actually have something meaningful to say. But, I guess if someone tried to talk to me in Chinese about something complicated I wouldn't really have anything meaningful to say either.
