Overdue Introduction

Who are all those people in the pics u say? well i will be getting to that now!

In the picture below which was taken the 2nd night we were in at the Uni Rez.  There are 6 new coops (including myself), 2 old coops (in the back) and to the far right our Project Manager.  Now for names and some shpiel about each. :)

Starting from the left going right:

Front Row
Bernada: moving on lol

Annie Choi:
She is a 4Ath year student from Operations Research program in the Math department.  Working on Database and Queries. She finds OR useless and is worried about what is going to happen to her.  We refer to her as the mom in the group well she acts very much like an asian mom. She worries about all the things us young'n don't think about until the last minute!  We always need someone like that when travelling for sure.  She travels tirelessly and HAS TO SEE everything there is to see.  She has realized though there is more to travelling than buildings and sites such as the social scene and FOOOOD.  Which is awesome and of course the natural beauty in cities.  The gorgeous night pictures are from her fancy camera which she is still getting to know how to use.

Funniest Moment: Getting off the train at 9:15am and hearing this emotional cry 'Why don't they have a BUSSSSS'??? lol jokes b/c when u catch the later trains there ain't no bus u walking DOWNHILL :) to work.

Jeff Kao: aka annoying asian :)
He is a 2B student from Systems Design Eng as well.  Working on Translation of websites.  What can I say love the dude.  He  is the funny man, the joker, the man who keeps us from killing each other lol.  He is a smart ass too.  He is a good resource for me at work.  He misses his g/f of 8 years and is my company when coming to drinking.  He is from scarborough and can pull the caribean accent anytime and a mean asian accent.

Funniest Moment: We were waiting before going out and we were both bored out of our minds and I was getting royally pissed of waiting.  So he was drinking in my apartment and said 'give me a sec'.  The man grabbed two bottles of beer, filled them with water to create two notes and well made an ass of himself!  He blew into the bottles to create two notes one after another and sang the circus song.  It was a sight to see and i have to tape it.  Needless to say i was entertained like a kid watching a clown, I COULD NOT STOP SMILING lol

Adam Sultan: aka the one and only Mr.GPS
He is a 4A C&O and Computer Science student.  Working on new IBM TOols.  The man is half Pakistani and Russian (what a mix). His parents met at Uni of Waterloo and fell in love when doing their Masters i think.  How cute is that!  The man can find anything in a city all he needs is a map for a second.  I know how he does it because i was amazed in Prague at how he knew the short cuts.  Well turns out the man just uses sense of direction, no streets, no signs, no nothing.. just adjusts his path according where something is.... it works!

Funniest Moment: When he walked around i do not know which city possibly Munich with a big greasy stain near his butt on his sweat pants. I did not tell him ... well because it was funny for me.

Nicole Wilson:
She is a 4A Pure Math student.  Planning to do her Masters in Fluid Mechanics hopefully in Germany.  Working as a business analyst pushing for solutions and processes.  This is her second time here and last time she was the only person here and it was during the winter.  She is a vegetarian and yes, Adam is her b/f : )  She is good company and can talk talk talk talk lol but all her expressions and words are in honesty.  She does not like being bugged about what she eats and can sing unbelievably well. 

Funniest Moment: Well since she does not eat meat she needs to know how to ask 'Is there meat in the sauce' well the translation is 'Ist there fleisch in de sauca' (we assume anyway).  The four of us (Jeff, Adam, Nicole and myself) spent a good number of hours just singing in our hostel room in Munich and when we left to go out we did not stop.  When on the train full of Germans Nicole started singing 'Jeff, ist there fleisch in de sauca... ist there fleisch in de sauca!!' I could not stop laughing... the Germans around us did a good job of keeping a poker face b/c i lost it lol never forget that!

Cora Yeung: miss dedicated to her man
She is a 2nd year Math/Business Student.  Working as a QA and Test Plan coordinator. She is the second youngest and the reason for her nickname is because she is very dedicated to her new b/f.  She calls him everyday and talks to him on MSN everyday.  He waits for her call everyday. Alright enough about that i think we get the picture. She is our mini PM and she hopes to return to work on the following term or staying here for another couple of months which is most likely. She loves to try different types of food when travelling. She loves salads from different places. Well she just loves ethnic foods :) and she has made me realize it is worth investing in it when travelling.

Funniest Moment:  When at Fruling's Fest (the Spring Festival) in Stuttgart she bought the huge mug of beer.  I could not believe she bought it and that she could even hold it.  She is sooooo tineeee.  Yes and she impressed me by drinking quite a bit of it.  In the pics u can tell the effect of it :).  She giggles like a maniac when drinking which is sooo cute too!

Ruslana Zbagerska: our PM
She is a graduated UW student from Software Eng and CS.  She worked here when on Coop and did such a good job she is now a fulltime here.. (am a little big jealous : D)  She has a Ukranian background and is great company.  She has impressed with her ability to balance different types of roles.  She has to be our friend, our PM and she is a new employee here.  So she has to make everyone happy basically.  She has to balance her time with everyone and make sure all is well.  Kind of tough if u ask me lol but she does it well.
FUnniest Moment: When she says 'Fair Enough' to everything alll the time.  And one day we all decided to say those words even when it was uncalled for.  She did not catch on but which made it pretty enjoyable for us.

The two students in the back are Jennifer and Lasse (from Denmark). Jennifer left when we got here and Lasse left last week.  So did not get to know them much.  But from the looks of it they seem and seemed really nice.      

Alright done with coworker intros! Tschuß!!
