Cousin Budd .. is quite the entertainer..!! i love to see him come to visit .. coz’ he and Aunt Sandra .. always teams up.. and play a few tunes for us. And if Mr Clark (Aunt Sandra’s father) came too.. he would be on the piano.
Dinner Gathering with Budd Gavel
This was what i had at Aunt Helena’s place on Sunday. Doesn’t seems alot.. but i think that because i love my chinese food alot. Rice and noodles for me.. anytime please. The food was good.. donch get me wrong.. but you know.. we chinese.. we donch like the “kentang” that much.. kkekekeke!!

See i told ya.. we had a special guest on Sunday.. all the way from Halifax. Budd Gavel .. cousin of my FIL was in town.. and boy..!! does he fiddles..!! he plays the violin so good..!! and he is really jovial.. warm.. and nice..! My FIL is also called Budd.. so when Aunt Helena calls my FIL .. when Budd Gavel is here.. she calls him .. “brother budd”… hehehhe!! so as to not confused .. the two Budds..!! kekekekkee!!
A feast was cooked in honor of Budd Gavel of course..!! Chicken .. a roast .. and broccolis with 2 deserts.. of course the potatoes.. and bread. Mmmmm.. yummy..!! I still have half of piece of Lemon Meringue left.
Fire! Fire!
For a very small town that i am currently living in.. there seems to be too much houses caught on fire.
Just this afternoon, when my MIL came by the store .. after her line dancing.. she mentioned that a house on Starrs Road was gutted with fire. Cause of fire not determined… by the Fire Marshall at the time of press release.
Well, not too too long ago.. there was another fire in town too.. in the middle of the nite.. and it was during a very cold winter nite..! So many ppl were put out of their homes.. because that apartment was a rented apartment .. with quite a few tenants in it.
Homemade Baking
Homemade Lemon Meringue by Aunt Helena on Sunday because we had a special guest.
Potato Freak
Currently, the brat is a potato freak. She wouldn’t eat it for the longest time.. but now she asked for it all the time. Unfortunately, when she eats potatoes.. she refuses to eat anything else.. not even carrots..!
Sloth in the hood
You see lah..!! what her Papa make her do..!! Carry her pet sloth.. in her hood..!! Plus the lil’ brat was so sporting.. to let Papa take pictures of her.
Small Clarification
Just a small and quick clarification for all my friends.. and family out there.. 😉
My in-laws.. treated me well.. from the very first day i met them.. when i arrived in Canada..! Hell..!! they treated me good.. even before i came to Canada.. 13 yrs ago.. 😉
They didn’t treat me good.. just because I had Chloe… like most Asian MILs would.. when you give them an heir.. 😉
And yes.. my MIL stayed with me to help me out with Chloe .. for a few months.. the first day i came home from the hospital.. and after a few months.. she still came to stay.. several nites .. till chloe was about 6 months old.
I am also very sure.. that i’m not a easy person to stomach.. because i am for most part.. very opinionated.. but my in-laws.. never said.. a bad word about me.. not to the relatives.. or to friends.. ! I know so.. because one of the relative… that i meet often.. told me so.. 😉 My in-laws also tries and include us in every family gathering .. that they have.. be it the extended family or those of the immediate family.
So there.. you have it in a nutshell.. 😉
What I Hate Most..!
Donch you just hate it.. when ppl come into your store.. and asked you for technical support.. and refuses to bring their computer in.. for you to check it out..just because they are worried.. they need to pay you. One also get angrier.. when they didn’t even buy the computer from you .. and expects free advice from you .. not once a day.. but comes in 3 or 4 times.. a day.. !
And lagi best.. when you tell them.. it would be best if we can see the puter.. so that we know how to help him.. and he tells you.. “ohhhhhh..! i can’t bring my puter in.. coz’ it’s this BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG” !!!
Now .. if your puter was this BIGGGGGGGGGGGG..!! that can only mean one thing.. that you have a server at home.. and not a computer..!!! and if you have a server .. at home.. you better know how to fix your browser..!!! when you lose it..!!! What a dumb..!!!
Victoria’s Day
It’s Victoria’s Day today in Canada… but of course like all holidays in Canada.. and for the Canadians it starts on Friday .. the week before.
Yup.. the banks are closed.. the government office are closed.. the courts are closed.. and even the cops .. are nowhere to be seen..! On holiday too..?? hahhahaha!! Well.. maybe not all.. but i think i really donch see much cops around.. during the holidays.
And where is the Killam family..??? At the store.. working..!! where else did you think..?? Anyone owning their own business.. would know.. that there is actually not much life for us.. except to work. And since .. we have such a hard time.. hiring ppl.. or getting ppl to work on a holiday.. in which we always end up working on our own.. during the holidays.. we might as well.. not hire right..??
We are very lucky and blessed .. that we got Keegan to come in to babysit the brat.. because i am too tired.. to deal with the brat today. PB just finished some computer work at a local confectionary.. and there are a few customers in the store right now. Keegan and the lil’ brat is watching “futurama” and drawing. So i’m trying very hard to relax..!! while we have Keegan here.
