Big Words

Sometimes, the lil’ brat surprises me to no end. Today we didn’t go into the store right away.. because it was raining in the morning. So we stayed home.. hoping to get in.. once Keegan finishes school.

The brat kept asking if her Papa is home yet. .and after saying no for a few hours.. she said.. to me.. “ohhhh.. i’m EXHAUSTED..! ” I was literally shocked lah.. only 4 yrs old.. and know how to use the word “exhausted” wor..?? shocking right..?? Very.

I donch remember being this smart.. to use words like that.. so i’m guessing. .must come from Papa side of the family.. muahahha!!

Why You Speak Chinatown..?

The brat was very naughty the last few days.. and was playing with things she shouldn’t at the store. So whenever i am upset with her.. i would speak to her in Cantonese. The other day.. i was said to her.. “Chloe Killam.. nei qui toa mo ya wan eh..!” meaning.. so naughty. .and nothing better to play with. In which she replied.. “why you speak chinatown to me.. mama..??” muahahahah!!

My reply..???? Because mummy is chinese.. and you are half chinese.. so you have to learn to speak chinatown..! muahahhaha!!

The Difference

The difference between staying in Canada.. and Asia.. is the weather. Getting stuck in the house .. the whole day.. because of the cold weather.. can drive one really crazy. This is the reason why.. i try my best to bring the brat to the store for a couple of hours.. if it isn’t that crazy out there. Afterall, she is a kid. and she does need a breather right..?? to run around.. and do stuff.. like interaction with real ppl.. not just her crazy chinese mummy.

Brain Injury & Therapy

It is awful when you find out that a loved one needs cerebral palsy therapy, which is actually a brain injury. But with treatment and therapy, most children can improve their abilities and lead a better lives. It is comforting to know that the condition does not get worst as the child gets older. I salute all parents who are taking care of these special children for I know it is an uphill task.

Health Benefit

One of the things we had looked into for the employees of our store was individual health insurance. And the main reason why we wanted to do that was to give ourself a better edge in retaining our employees. When you provide health benefits to your employees, it is definitely a big plus .. for anyone thinking of working for you. There are loads of choices and to find the right one that fits your budget and one that can maximize your investment isn’t easy. We have been through it and we know exactly what to do now, speaking with an expert assistance is a definite must.

Gracias

Last nite.. while going home from the store for dinner.. at around 7pm (we were running late).. PB quickly ran into Superstore to get me some fresh roasted chicken for the brat’s dinner and mine. We didn’t go into the grocery store with him.. because it was cold. .and we were quite late already .. as PB needed to go back to work by 7.30pm.

A few minutes after PB left the car . .the brat wanted to get her safety belt out because she had an itch… and was getting upset. Of course, I jumped into action .. and released her belts.. and she took care of her itch immediately. When she was alright.. she said.. “gracias” .. muahahhahahaah!!!! yup..! it was “thank you” in Spanish… too much Dora .. eh.. 😉

Wise Investment In Gold

Universally accepted, that was what my great grandmother said to us, when we were younger. The Chinese strongly believed in investing in gold bullion or anything gold. Asked any Asians.. and they will tell you, how they were given gifts of gold in form of jewelry since young. Gifts of gold are most welcome just about in any occasion.

I myself have never seen gold go down in prices drastically and that is enough to say how safe it is for investment purposes. And in times of turbulence, you can be sure that your investment is protected plus will continue to be a valuable source of income. For the serious investors, the exclusive Monex certified 10 ounce gold ingot made of .9999 pure gold is what you should take a look at.

Missing Nova Scotian Girl Slained

Photobucket

A few days ago, i had written about missing Karissa Boudreau, 12 years old gone missing for a few weeks. Last week, they found a body.. and i prayed it wouldn’t be Karissa. As a mother, we can all well-imagine what her family was going thru’. Late Thursday, it was confirmed thru’ dental records, that the slain body was of Karissa. My heart just felt so heavy. Homicide said the police. I don’t know what to think .. to be honest with you. I just feel very, very sad. I am not even living near Bridgewater.. nor do we know Karissa or her family.. but I feel their pain. Bringing up a kid for 12 yrs.. is not easy.. and for her to die this way.. after fighting over something that may at that time.. be important.. but now seems insignificant.. i feel for her family. God bless them .. and help them thru’ this very difficult time.
