Maddening Drilling Noise

 I am having headaches.  The renovation next door is driving us crazy.  We have to get out of the our home to keep our sanity.  The drilling is random.  Worse is the vibrations are amplified through the concrete wall.  So we get both noise and vibration.  I am getting headaches and feeling exhausted.  I also have to do my school work and this quite challenging.  Sigh!  It will be another 3 months of sheer torture.

Wonderful brunch

 There are 6 of us.  We had a wonderful brunch.  Plenty of food and we continue with a beer in Prive at Paragon.  Belgium white beer was very nice.  I love it!  But I am not a drinker, so I drank half a pint.

I am very happy with the company.  We had good conversation and great time together.

Brunch at Minang

 We have a small group with our schoolmates for hawker meals.  Today, it is Minang, Indonesian food in Lucky Plaza.  Minang food quality is quite good but pricey.  We take turns to host.  My friends are quite generous.

I am looking forward to the meal.

Renovation Next Door

 The house next door was sold.  The new owner is making extensive renovation.  My balcony glass cracked and needs to be replace.  Tiny glass shards are all over my balcony.  The noise by the drilling and jackhammer is deafening and it is impossible to stay home.  The vibration is so bad that the other unit next door on the opposite side has it wall crack and water seeping in.  

While it is exciting to move into a new house, sometimes the contractor you choose can cause problem to houses beside.  I hope no further damages to our houses.

Nyquist and Bode

 My head has been filled with hifi maths.  Abstract and impossible to understand.  So depressing.  This is the final module.  I will be glad when this is over.  Then we have a month long project to do.  After that it is end of course...

Nice and Cool

 The weather is very nice and cool.  This morning the drizzle was very fine.  Feel like fall time in Canada.  I like this kind of weather.  It reminds me of home in another country.  Fall colours are beautiful.  Temperature drops lower and lower daily.  Day becomes shorter and shorter.  Then flurries and snow.  Yes, it is a beautiful sight!  I love it.  But driving is not so fun in winter.  Also have to clear snow on the pathway and driveway.

But cold outside, and warm inside with a gas fireplace, it is quite nice.  I love living in like the story books I grew up with...
