Just got back from a dinner, a thinkquest coach-appreciation dinner. We wanted to thank our coaches for their advice and support by treating them to dinner, so rebecca found a nice italian restaurant ( spacco. it means something like "crack" in italian... as our coach informed us..). Winston the main mentor, who contributed the most.. had to cancel but told us to go on without him, so we were very worried when luigi the other coach didnt show up on time, that wud defeat the purpose of the dinner . We waited and he came, so we had a great evening with just 1 coach. We plan to buy winston a nice gift.

and, does anyone know /also have problems checking TIGmail (after enabling it of course), the instructions seem to say that if I get mail, the TIGMail module will expand on my TIG desktop, but I tested by sending an email and the desktop... well, er,,still looks like the same desktop.

The pictures from our small "chinese school pal reunion " came through- thanx andrew. Holidays -everyone back from their respective college/universities: sheridan, parsons in NY / U of T / U of Ottawa, so we fooled around from Bloor down through Eaton Centre, to the LOTR inspired ice sculptures at Nathan Phillips square (everyone had seen LOTR fellowship.. 2 or 3 times, except me , so we didnt see LOTR) , to paramount to ---

My friend and thinkquest teammate -(drum roll... Rebecca ! ) joined TIG...now her profile is pretty humble lowkey considering some of the amazing things she's done .. for example, how she organized/coordinated an youth art exhibit on Domestic Violence with south/west asian volunteer committee and Toronto Police.. at the Toronto Police HQ


And, dear TIG, this might be a tad bit late but I just wanted to say thanx for the member holiday greetings flashsent a week ago . if it were a company, i wud react "a-ha! This company's marketing has reached me!" but its TIG so I didnt think in that way. Thanx, it was a fun surpise. =)
