that list was months old! but you can get the stars from multiply by just copy-pasting (although you may look silly using it) you have added much to your list since i last knew you!

so, why did you move away from winnipeg?

[mudslide]

Hehehe, some of the things on the list happened even before you knew me.

Don't you remember our chat on MSN? I moved to Calgary to attend Masters in Industrial Design. I hope to design everything from kitchenware to sofas, automotive goods and even user interfaces (i.e. cellphones, controllers, hand tools, etc.)

[jayca]

i can kinda guess which ones happened before we met.

oh yeah. i didn't know you had to move to Calgary though. i thought it would be like Chicago or something. i hope your family will cope well without their eldest. my regards to your human family and your Subaru family. ^_^

Right now, Calgary/Edmonton are booming cities with massive amounts of job opportunities. There has been quite a large influx of new residents in the last couple years, especially because of the large oil reserves in the province. The rate of growth here is phenomenal, and I wouldn't be surprised if it overtakes quite a few major US cities in the next 4-5 years. Kids are routinely getting MASSIVE amounts of money just to work at McDonald's because they've got a bigger workforce shortage compared to any other Canadian city. I've seen signs that said "Help Wanted" at Dairy Queen - $12 an hour.

I should really start bugging Mikko again about moving here. :)

"my regards to your human family and your Subaru family"

HAHAHA, that line made me laugh first thing in the morning. :) Thanks. My regards to your family, and to your two new babies... they've probably grown a lot since the last set of pictures you've posted.

[jayca]

yes, they have grown. whisky (the white one) is almost as big as Ming-Ming. He's like 5kg! Whisky is huge and fluffy-scruffy, whereas Frisky is small and perfect. they're very friendly to strangers, so you wouldn't have to entice them with treats.

good luck in Calgary. i hope the winter there is more forgivable than Winnipeg's and that it's not as lonely.

[mudslide]

The weather here is not as harsh as Winnipeg's, but unfortunately it will be more lonely. See Yin is a 3 hour drive away, and I will only get to see her once a month because she has her thesis to finish on weekends, on top of her full-time job at a landscape architecture firm.

Do you have any recent pics of Whisky and Frisky?

Oh, and how's Mimay doing in Tokyo?

Sorry for all the questions. :P

[jayca]

is your yahoo.ca mail still active? i sent you kitten pics

[mudslide]

My GOODNESS those kittens aren't kittens anymore! :D And the chicks are very very cute too. I hope you guys don't eat them when they grow up. :P

I haven't checked that yahoo account in such a long time, I had 402 unread messages from about 2 years ago in that account. I've been using gmail.com nowadays... same name as the yahoo account but with a period instead of an underscore.

I'll respond to your e-mail through that account instead.

[jayca]

ok, just reply to jaycachan@hotmail.com.

we'll never eat the chicks! they're our pets now. we've already prepared a second enclosure for them when they grow up.
