I remember back then when we had this one of our classmates who is a Chinese. We have trouble understanding his language and doesn’t speak quite well English. What we did is, we have this translation book and then every word he say’s we translate that one by one. Well a hard task to have a classmate like that, but actually he is my friend. Eventually after months of struggling with language exchange, we finally learned on both ways. Nowadays, I still communicate with him. It is sometimes funny because he is making fun of me with his language. He always replying to my message in Chinese characters, the problem is I forgot Chinese language. So what I did is go to an online translation site and translate everything to English.

This online help is very good when times like this. There is a lot of language to choose from. They have this name translation, brand translation, business card translation,etc. Actually there are lot of translation to choose from.

During my college days, I always having trouble with my locker. Because what I got is a broken lock, I reported that on the principals office and luckily after a week they have replaced mine with a good Locker. School lockers are very important, for a student like, I always bring lots of books and other experiment materials. If you are having too much subject, it is not practical to carry those things every subject. There are only few have given the privileged of having two Lockers, why? Because our things cannot fit on one, we are given special treatment and of course a special added fee. I have also one on those Gym Lockers, where I put all my physical fitness things. My friend always playing fun with our class clown, they always put weird stuffs inside his Gym Locker, very funny.

Actually, what we have are Wood Lockers. A Wood Locker is very durable actually compared to a steel one. Because they don’t get rusted and never bend. Wood ones, are very strong and can last long because of this nature thing properties it carries, suitable to all types of environments. To add to that, my School Locker is different from others. I painted mine and put some designs, because sometimes I got lost finding mine. Anyway, I’ve seen a lot of Lockers for sale on the Internet and in fact they are very good looking and also varies from different types of materials.

I visited a friend last week, actually he is my friend back in college. I have never seen him for a long time now, I think it’s been ten years now. Luckily one of my office mate happens to be his neighbor. He is grown a lot, a big guy with a bunch of mustache on his face. I never recognized him until he spoken the words, “it’s nice too see you again, I’ve been looking for you for a long time now”. And I told him that I am too. Anyway, we had a lot of talk about everything, about his present life, his job, his and my family, etc.

I had a nice conversation with him, I’m even more happier to see him again. I remember he told about this gold investment. He told me that he started to buy gold bullion when he was about to retire on his last job. Every payday, he never missed to buy gold coin. He said that this is an ideal investment, it is nice to see that there is something that you can look for in the future. I said to him that I will try to purchase gold bullion on my payday. I think that is a good investment to spend your money. The thing is, if you want to have a much bigger wealth in the future you have to buy many gold bullion. For an ordinary person like me, I will even spend half of my monthly salary and buy bullion.

I am an avid fan of special events like rock or music concerts. It’s  been the trend for me and for my friends to watch together those concerts. I remember when we were still in college, my friends and I always join a radio contest to get free tickets. But not all the time it works, there are too many fans out there that also want to get those precious tickets. What we did, we work part time at a local store and after a day or two, then we got those Belle Centre Tickets. It’s so exciting back then, but now it’s not practical. You have to think everything not just concerts.

It’s even harder for to buy a concert ticket even though I already have money. Like now, I’m planning to buy Terminal 5 Tickets to watch the sonic youth. It’s a good thing that there are online ticket buying station available. Now, all that precious tickets are one click away. My brother told me that, because I saw a Great Western Forum Tickets from his hand. which is very hard to buy. Anyway, I called my friends and I told them if we can watch together again. You know, it is more fun when you are watching together.
