Halifax Update

Hey.. everyone.. just a quick update..! we arrived in Halifax really early since we didn’t get to do the flea market due to bad weather. To be honest .. the weather wasn’t that bad.. and we could really have done the flea market.. if they didn’t cancelled it… ! WIMPS..!

My poor MIL ..!! She had to rush into town.. to babysit Chloe.. and in the end.. we didn’t get to make some money at the flea market.

Anyhoo.. we headed out .. earlier than planned. Drove an hour or so.. and stopped at Annapolis .. and went to Charlie’s for chinese food. PB and I shared a plate of food. Poor Chloe didn’t want nothing to do with the food.. luckily we brought home-cooked food for her.

Truly Touched

As much as i bitched about ppl and things that i donch like about this town… and am easily infuriated, I too am easily pleased.. and easily thankful for the good things .. this town brings.. and how some folks are so kind.. to me.

This afternoon.. i went to Tim Hortons as usual for my breakfast and coffee and the gals at Tim’s asked if i was gonna be opened tomorrow.. and if i was .. they would make my favourite mushroom soup for me.. but since we will be doing the flea market.. i told them i wouldn’t be.. and they suggested Monday.. but Monday I will be up in Halifax.. and they then suggested Tuesday..!!

Now.. isn’t that nice.. now..!! what i call “excellent” customer service.. not only knowing i craved for mushroom soup.. but also trying so hard to accommodate this “difficult” customer.

Thank you .. Tim Horton’s gals (main street) .. you make life for a foreigner.. far away from home.. feel a little warmer and life here a little easier to bear.

Ma Sei Lok Dei Hung

I am sometimes truly amazed with myself. For instant.. the cooking of the liver with ginger. I tell ya.. it would never have crossed my mind.. to cook it on my own.. if i were still living in Singapore. Afterall, why cook when you can get them at your friendly neighbourhood “cze zar” store.. right..?? for a mere few dollars too.

For someone .. who haven’t really learned how to cook anything at all..because my mom never like us to mess up the kitchen.. i think in my case .. it’s call ” ma sei lok dei hung” (in cantonese) .. meaning.. horse die .. you just get down the horse and walk. My cooking is still very limited.. but that’s only because i can’t find the ingredients here.. and secondly .. really have no time. But i’ve cooked chicken rice.. pineapple rice.. and yong chow fried rice.. and even made my own tahu-goreng.. 😉

Yes.. i’m not usually one .. who looked back and lament about things.. but i am truly, truly amazed with myself.. for making the best outta my current food situation. The food i make/cook may not be the best.. nor authentic in taste.. but like the saying goes.. “beggars can’t be choosers right..??

Thank You .. Aunt Verna

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

My brat is much loved by everyone.. be it a relative or friend.. and even customers. Look.. at what she got for a present.. from Aunt Verna.. ! Aunt Verna is 90 something years old.. and she lives in New Brunswick.. and yet.. she remembers Chloe everytime she visits… and this time.. it was Aunt Helena .. who was up visiting her. But she still got a gift for Chloe.. and sent it back with Aunt Helena. Isn’t she thoughtful and kind .. to my lil’ brat..!

Friendship So Rare

I was pleasantly surprised this afternoon.. by a phone call. Guess who called me..?? All the way from Hamilton, Toronto (still considered long distance call in Canada) . No.. not my family.. no .. not a friend from home who is visiting Toronto… and not Godma Lynn either.. !! Nope.. not Chumsymum’s brother-in-law from Toronto (i used to owe Chumsymum money lah..kkekekekeke!- she never tell you ka..?? )

True friendship is hard to come by .. and moreso .. when you haven’t even met the person. In this time and age.. when one is so far away from home .. the blogosphere is truly a life-saving technology. I don’t really expect alot from my blogging friends.. but let me tell you .. they have gone beyond and above many times over. Some have treated me so much better than my very own family in Singapore. My constant regret is i never have had a good relationship with my sister (she is crazy) !! , as much as i love her, i do not want to be sucked into her “dramas”. One example is she would call all hotels in Singapore .. to find out where i was working at that time and then will asked to speak to my boss. Yes.. that’s how crazy she was.

Anyhow, i rarely get calls .. because most ppl who wants to speak about business would call PB .. as for my family and friends.. they email.. or message me on msn. So when PB passed the phone to me this afternoon.. i never expected a call from Gene of Life As A Married Woman. I was really pleasantly surprised… and overwhelmed by her kindness. She called to wish me a good trip up to Halifax this weekend. We chatted abit .. and i had to let her go.. because it was a business phone.. and we only had one line… for both the debit machine and phone line.

I Salute All SAHMs

To all SAHMs.. i salute you ..!! Anyone out there.. who dare say.. SAHMs .. have the easiest job.. i will bitch slap you ..!!

Time and again.. i forget .. what it is like to just stay home with my brat the whole day.. without any help. Today i chose to stay home.. because the brat didn’t sleep good the nite before.. and i didn’t want her to crank up in the store… so i opted to stay home.. and also instill in her the consequences of not sleeping the whole nite.

I have had everything planned out.. what i wanna clean.. and what i wanted to cook for the brat. But in the end.. i only managed to shower.. with the brat in the bathroom with me the whole time.. and i managed to cooked just one meal for her… in the evening. The rest of the time.. was spent picking after her.. and attending to all her whim and fancies.. from wanting juice..to chocolate.. to candies..! NON-STOP..!! She had lunch for a good 2hrs.. and didn’t even finished all her food. I ony had my lunch at about 5pm.. because i need to cook my lunch. On top of it.. she wanted to read, play.. with her playdoh.. and draw.. and bounce around the couch.. ride her bike.. play the keyboard.. and insisted on going outdoors.. when it was cold. She didn’t let me do the dishes.. without offering to help. .and i had to let her.. so i can get some work done. And while i was showering.. she pooped..! so needed change immediately.

At 9pm .. when she finished up her dinner.. i was pretty much pooped..! i still had dishes and bottles to do.. and another meal to cook for her lunch tomorrow.

So I salute you .. all SAHMs..!! you are the GREATEST..!!! I donch know how you do it.. but i would be going crazy.. if i had to be stucked at home.. on a daily basis..!
