 KL> The "Festival Hong Kong" just kicked off 2 days ago in Calgary. 
 KL> There have been seminars and other festivities going on around town. 
 KL> The main highlight is the dragon boat race which scheduled on Saturday
 KL> (tomorrow). Our family might be going to Glenmore Resorvoir to see it.
Yeah, they had the H.K. festival out in Toronto this past weekend. A friend
of mine went. I think my mom wanted to go, but I had too much homework and
there were too many other little things to do. So did you go? How was it?

 KL> I'm looking forward to the skiing season to start in November.  I
 KL> already brought a pass for this year so that I can go every alternate
 KL> weekend and it's a bit cheaper.  I'll be working on moguls this year. 
 KL> I found them quite hard and I'm not "smooth" enough.  I guess the
 KL> problem is I'm sliceing too much snow whenever I land.  I can usually
 KL> handle most of the black runs, but as for moguls, I can barely handle
 KL> the blue ones. 
Hmmm....skiing. Well, I wish I could go but none of my friends go and none 
of them want to try 'cause they're afraid of doing some serious damage to 
themselves. "Black" runs?! Wow! I have enough difficulty with the beginners
and intermediates! I think I told you this long time ago. I went to Ellicott-
ville near Buffalo about 4 yrs ago to go skiing. There was one run, a Triple
Black Diamond, that looked like a 500-600 foot drop. From 20 feet behind the
edge of the run. I only saw what appeared to be a vertical drop; I couldn't
see the slope! They actually had fencing about 40 feet behind the edge to
prevent people from accidentally going over! Now that's one serious slope!
I'm sure you would like that one.

 KL> So, how's other things (anything beside school) going?  I'm gonna be
Well, nothing special. I guess things are settling down and getting into 
a groove. I'm still a lazy bum! I bought a workout bench with some good
iron weights a few years back and I haven't touched it in over 2 years! My
brother keeps telling me to get back on a workout routine but I'm just too
lazy. Well...maybe I'll start tomorrow. I've got to start cause my weight is
only 150 lbs and rather skinny. I think I had better build up some upperbody
strength 'cause I'll need it for Radiation Therapy...when I need to move
patients.

 KL> voting for the first time in my life on Oct 26th.  Will you be voting
 KL> too?  I think I'll vote for "YES", what about you?
The Constitutional Amendment. Well, I've been reading the amendment a bit 
and I haven't really made up my mind. I think if we give Quebec special
status because of the French speaking majority, then if all chinese people 
were to move to PEI or B.C, then the chinese majority can push for special
status too...if the same line of thinking applies. If Quebec doesn't get the
special status, I would highly doubt that they would separate. That would be
self-destructive, and I'm sure the politicians know that. If they don't, then
Quebec's in BIG trouble. Quebec is, and hopefully will always be, a part of
Canada. They should have the same priviliges and limitations as all the other
provinces. The number of seats available to them in parliament should reflect
the population in that province (to state one example) and not to have a 
fixed percentage reserved for them. Right now, I would agree with Pierre
Trudeau in saying that the other provinces should not give in to the bullying
tactics of the Separatists in Quebec. Besides, I think the majority of 
Quebecois do not wish to separate because they know that it would destroy
Quebec. But there's still time for me to think about the amendment.

I'll write about school in my next message. BTW, how are things with you?
