Coca cola and WWF launched "Arctic Home" campaign to raise awareness and raise funds to support WWF effort to protect the polar beer's habitat. Polar beers are at the verge to be declared as endangered species. Global warming has caused the change in temp which have caused the polar ice to melt, effecting largely the natural habitat of polar beers. 
Got an assignment today to make a vdu screen for utility developed for internal use. So I developed a vdu screen which serves as an menu for the utility and wrote an RPG program to call the programs referred in the menu and do some validation checking on the input given by the user. The program is working fine now and is ready to be released in the environment 
Had my lunch at Al- watan restaurant near Fraser street and 42 street. It is a nice pakistani cuisine and had all kind of non-veg items. I liked the chicken seek kabab  and if you go on friday they have special chicken briyani which taste awesome. I would highly recommend that place if one likes to taste pasiktani cuisine.

just installed the Viper in my car. With Viper, I can lock, unlock and even start my car with my Iphone which has Viper application installed in it. Its a wonderful app specially for winters where you can easily start your car before driving it which warms up the engine without waiting for it to warm up while sitting in the car.

Heading towards the Hardeest semester of my program. Planning to take CMPT 300,CMPT 320 and CMPT 470. My only concern is the CMPT 300 as it is the toughest course to take and require programming in C language. Have to brush up my skills before going into the class.

Watched UFC on FOX channel yesterday. They decided not to put the main event on pay preview just to promote the UFC. Unfortunately, the fight lasted only for 1 minute and 5 seconds. One can see the frustration in the eyes of the UFC president at the post game interviews.

The new generation of cars has started to erupt. Recently, Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt were launched in Canada. I  haven't got a change to take a ride in these cars but the reviews are that they don't go that faster but are prefect for driving it in city. In years to come we will witness more of electric and hybrid cars and the petrol cars will be disappearing fast.
