I have 50+ test failure need to be investigated, and within previous 3 hours, solved 3 bugs which have 5 related test cases in total.
See if I can solve all of them within these two weeks, otherwise I need to play with bugzilla…

Nightmare
Last nite, I was debugging programs in my dream, I saw some strange functions existed in the code (I did hope that these functions exist in real life). When I was debugging is exactly the same as in the real world. Scare. I think I need to take a small break, but when can I do so? Probably during Christmas…

A week in Richmond
It is already more than a week here in Richmond. Everything is fine, there are many Chinese in the office, so it is just like working in Shanghai. There are also many Brazilian in the office, their accent is a bit strange, keep folding their tongue when pronouncing every word, but this is much “listenable” than Indian accent. I am not saying Indian is not good in English, it is just because I cannot get used to their accent.
Last Wesnesday is Microsoft company meeting 2008! During the meeting, they announced some really cool web applications, Office Live and Live Mesh. Office Live is a kind of an online version of Microsoft Office, you can upload a local office file and share with others (I don’t know if it will support creating documents online, if so, it is really cool), and Live Mesh is a synchronization tool similar Mobile Me in Apple and Dropbox. These are pretty cool applications which are going to beat Google and Apple, in my point of view. I did not try them yet, but I would like to take some time investigate on it.
Last Sunday, I cooked some soup and prepared to take it with noodle and spaghetti. The following is some pictures about the food, Yummy!
This photo is taken at mid autumn festival, the moon is round like a ball. Dear my love, family members and friends, we are watching the same moon during mid autumn festival.
Have a nice day!

Get around in Richmond
The day before yesterday, I went to Canada Border Service Agencies in downtown to finish the customs clearance process. Thanks KK that he helped me to print the required documents out (I don’t have a printer here). He also gave me a small tour around UBC (From bus station to canteen, then canteen to his office). UBC is a very nice place, full of green colors around the campus and it is really big.
Downtown is just like Central in Hong Kong, I may go to take some photos today in downtown. I can now travel around Vancouver with the monthly farecard (it takes me CAD$99). I will show you the place as soon as possible.
Yesterday, I went to supermarket, trying to feed my big fridge. There are three supermarkets within 10 to 20 minutes distance (by bus #11), one is save on food, and the other two is chinese supermarket. In save on food, and other foreign supermarkets, they provide a lower price to their members, members can sometimes save around CAD$1 to $0.5 for each item. In chinese supermarket, all the items are already taxed, which means what you see, what you pay. I saw some well known brand from Hong Kong, but they are very expensive, double or even more compare with local products.
Yesterday night is the first time I cooked in Richmond, really a home made dinner. Overall it is delicious, except the pork chops are a bit salty. Here is my home made dinner last night.
Belows are more photos I have taken yesterday. Enjoy!

1st day in Vancouver
Cannot sleep well in both flight and apartment (actually, I forgot I cannot drink coffee, it hyper my brain, that’s why I cannot sleep yesterday nite). I won’t drink coffee anymore. Green tea is great.
The apartment is really cool. It has a small pantry, and provided all basic stuffs in kitchen and bathroom, like forks, spoons; personal health care pack, laundry powder. also have rinse agent (dishes washing machine) and dryer (these are not popular in Hong Kong).
Thank you so much for the help from uncle Leung, a friend of my father. He really helps me quite a lot, and I waste much of his time. It is because I have been notified to check in an apartment somewhere in Vancouver, but the truth is it is in Richmond (because I don’t have driver license). I wasted uncle three hours waiting at the incorrect address. I am compunction about that.
Below are some photos I have taken in my apartment, the link of the album.
Today, I am going to familiar with the area, take some time to walk around. Also want to cook my lunch and dinner. Ha, I am looking forward to see what will happen, I will report the result asap.
ps. Sorry guys, I need to first familiar with the area, I am worrying that I cannot write security related posts this week. But I do have some interesting thing want to share with you, wait for me please.
