Introducing my roommate, Ronny McMurray

No, my roommate is not named Ronny McMurray, but for the sake of protecting his identity, I will refer to my roommate as Ronny McMurray... get it, initials are RM... as for RoomMate. I thought that was pretty ingenious.

I'm living here in Ft. McMurray with a roommate. It was all arranged by my company and the housing agency. I've lived with a lot of other guys before in cadet summer camps (all in groups), but this is my first time living with ONE person I have never met before in my life.

Ronny McMurray

- the best roommate one can have. He's clean, he's quiet, and a Canucks fan.

We take turns cooking.

We take turns washing dishes.

It works.

Also I think the housing agency did some racial profiling... they grouped the TWO Chinese guys from Vancouver in one apartment.

It works.

BUT, there are some funny and bone-headed things Ronny has done which are too good to not share. So stay tuned for upcoming stories revolving around my roommate, Ronny McMurray.

P.S - My only complaint: He doesn't like spicy food.

My favourite "simple" foods in life

It was a Monday morning, I was at work. I was getting hungry and bit groggy, so I instintively opened the drawer to my right... and voila, I had a pouch of "Super Milk Tea:3 in 1 tea mix" in my hand and I immediately walked to the kitchen for hot water.

I start at 8am and about 9:30am, I crave for food. I keep a few puches of SUPER Milk tea and Maria biscuits in my cubicle for whenever I want take a morning break or just to wake myself up.

As I dipped the Maria biscuits into my tea, savouring the aroma, letting the biscuit melt in my mouth, I began to appreciate how such a simple snack can temporarily transport you out of your current state.

Then I started to think of other "simple" foods that make me go "mmmmm".

Cheese and crackers

Fresh Veggies with ranch dressing

Freshly baked bread with spinach dip

Yum.
