This is actually a pretty good day to be remembered because this morning was soo pretty. After 2 days of snowing at temperature around 0°C, the snow turned everything outdoor into a winter wonderland. Trees and branches were totally covered with wet snow and turned everything to white, road condition was alright since the temperature wasn’t that cold, so it’s like a rainy day with white snow everywhere. This was a scene that we don’t get to see every year, it was either too cold or too warm, so how could I resist NOT taking pictures? hehe, enough with the talking and please take a look at how pretty it was this morning right outside of work 😀

福臨 – Times Square Richmond Hill
What better things to do on a boring Family Day holiday? 飲茶(drink tea) with two of the best Aunties ever, Corolla and Connie at 福臨 at Times Square Richmond Hill!!! The newly renovated 福臨 is finally back from a “umm… restaurant” to a “woah restaurant” after years or struggling… Tho I only went to it a couple times years ago, this restaurant was always on the bottom of my list until today 😀 The DIM SUM was amazingly good and they even have a few that you won’t find out there like 木瓜奶盞, this place basically topped most of the Chinese DIM SUM places I have tried. Once you put the food in your mouth, you just know that they really had someone to make those DIM SUM, unlike some just served frozen mass production DIM SUM to you… Anyways, a must try 😀

打邊爐 (Hotpot) with friends – Family Day Weekend
Last time while we were at Casa Victoria Fine Dinning and Banquet (紫爵金宴), me and a few of my old friends from Logic mentioned we would love to go on a Cruise trip together. Of course we really want to make it come true, so we decided to gather up at Doris’s place to brainstorm about the trip and of course, a nice Hotpot dinner (打邊爐) as well. Haven’t had hotpot for quite a while and this was actually my first time having 花膠 and a few other unique things too, didn’t really know 花膠 and 手切牛肉片 could taste soo good :-P. For the first time ever alcohol free night at Doris’s place and Ben was totally surprised hehe, anyways, we enjoy the company as always and it was a total blast!!!

Petro Canada Car Washes
Petro Canada – SuperWorks Car Wash Season Pass
I had been using Petro Canada – SuperWorks Car Wash Season Pass for over a month now, I am loving it especially in this kind of weather. When you drive out on the street and all the cars around you are super dirty except your car, that makes me feel special 🙂 After 6 weeks of trying most of the Petro Canada car washes in a few places, I would just want to make a few comments on each one I tried and hoping people can also comment on the ones that I haven’t tried, in the Toronto area of course. So here they are whether if they are cloth wash or touchless and wait time!!!
Cloth Wash
Major Mackenzie Dr. and Bayview Ave. – 3 mins wash time, very clean, semi-dry after wash, 5 – 10 mins wait time
Weldrick Rd. and Yonge St. – 3 mins wash time, very clean except the back of the car, semi-dry after wash, less than 5 mins wait time
7 and Kennedy Rd. – 3 mins wash time, very clean, semi-dry after wash, at least 10 mins wait time
16th Ave. and 404 – 5 mins wash time, clean, all wet after wash, at least 10 mins wait time
Touchless Wash
Bayview Ave. and Hightech Rd. – 5 mins wash time, clean, wet on sides after wash, at least 30 mins wait time
7 and Red Maple Rd. – 8 mins wash time, very clean, dry after a wash, 40 mins or more wait time
Steeles Ave. and Warden Ave. – 5 mins wash time, clean, wet on sides after wash, 15 – 30 mins wait time
7 and Kennedy Rd. – “Glide” – 10 mins wash time, clean, wet polish on sides after wash, at least 30 mins wait time
After all, most car washes I tried don’t really dry your car except the one on 7 and Red Maple Rd. because it has 6 strong blowers, and the one I go all the time is the one on Major Mackenzie Dr. and Bayview Ave. because I think it is still better than most of them. So how are the other ones? Let me know 😀
P.S. I usually wash my cars after 8pm

PlayStation Dualshock3 sixaxis controller for your PC
PlayStation Dualshock3 sixaxis controller
Totally, forgot to mention this… For Xbox users, you probably know you could use your Xbox controllers on your PC, but did you know that you could also use your PlayStation Dualshock3 sixaxis controller for your PC as well? Wired or Bluetooth connectivity, almost full functionality of the controller on your PC too. Just go to the link below, download and install, that’s it!! Not to mention you can also customize the buttons and some other tweaks too 😛

So isn’t this idea perfect for games like Street Fighter X Mega Man v2 too? Hehe, enjoy 😀
