I’m A Proud Singaporean

Yes.. a very proud one.. living in Canada.. for the last 7.5 – 8 yrs now. And how can one not be.. with Hossan Leong singing the whole story of Singapore..in just a few minutes. I missed home aplenty.. ! i missed the MRTs.. the food.. the humid weather.. and of course the shopping.. and all my friends.. and family from home. Truth be told.. if i go back for a holiday with Chloe.. i fear i may never wanna come back to Canada.

I know.. i had some nasty neighbours before.. and of course there are crimes too.. but in singapore.. if you are willing to work.. there is always something to do… a stable job. .and a room over your head.. because of our CPF. And doctors are aplenty… and we have a hospital.. in almost every estate.. and a few in Orchard Road. Unlike Yarmouth, we only have one hospital.. and we are pretty much at the mercy of our family doctor. If you get a good one.. no sweat.. but if you get one.. who tells you to bring your own sterile strip.. something ain’t quite right. I missed home.

Protect Your Child

As today’s parent .. we all loved our child more than ourselves. Giving them best food .. and teaching them the right way and taking care of their health is what we do best. But protecting your child with child insurance is very important too. In case, of an emergency, you know that you can give your child the best health care.. of course we are not looking forward for these emergencies.. but you want to know.. that nothing can stop you from getting the best health care for them.. should the need arises. That is what good parenting is all about. Seeing the unforeseen.

Counting One’s Blessing

Photobucket

I count my blessings that my spouse isn’t anything like my grandfather or my dad. I remembered how my grandmother used to have to mow the lawn.. and do all the weeding in the garden.. when my grandfather was at work. As for my dad.. of course.. I have never ever seen him mow the lawn either.

As you all know.. how busy we are.. with our own businesses .. and having to look after the brat full time, therefore mowing the lawn needs to be done as soon as we get a free 15 mins.. without the brat.. else she wants to be out.. when all the bugs comes flying out.. while PB mows.

Reading Is Great

Reading was always my favorite past time .. when i was a kid. Because of it.. i speak alot better than most of my friends in my neighbourhood. Therefore, I hope to cultivate this love of mine to the brat.. but although she loves children’s books, she only wants to listen to the story.. and see the pictures.. but i’ll say that’s a start.

Our Dream Basement

Since I”ve been so ill for the last two weeks.. it means.. that we weren’t making as much money.. in the stores.. as much as we would like to.. and employees salaries were higher too. Our dream basement with home theater and the works.. just have to take a backseat for now.

Many Rocks In My Life

Thankful for the many rocks in my life at this point of time.. because i could have never gotten thru’ the last week.. if they weren’t there for me. Firstly, it was PB .. who dropped everything.. including the princess brat.. and stayed in the hospital with me.. throughout my ordeal… day and night. Secondly, were my in-laws .. they dropped everything to be with princess brat .. even though this is the busiest season for them in the garden. Thirdly, our very trusted and most valuable employee .. Keegan.. who dropped everything .. to take care of the store.. while PB was gone during those days.. working all days and nites… and sometimes.. doubling up.. and taking care of Chloe in the store.. while running the store. What an awesome girl..!

I cannot thank them enough for being such a huge rock and of course God for being there for me the whole time.. and hearing my prayers. And thanks to all .. who emailed.. and messaged.. and left comments. Special thanks to Barb .. you are a true pal.. ! Thanks to the Izea Team.. for your well wishes! And Gerald, Adele and Sarah Leblanc .. for your gift..! and well wishes .. and everyone who had dropped into the store.. and asked about my well being.. Gary, Sherry, Kerry .. Katelynn’s parents… and our regular customers. Thank you all for making my stay in Canada.. a meaningful one.
