Playing Tai-Chi

I used to tell PB that we chinese love to play tai-chi.. but apparently .. the ang mohs too love to play tai-chis.

A customer .. rented a new movie from us the minute it came out, was 12 days late.. and we only got it back after chasing after her for many days. She gave one excuse after another. And finally, she came in with the movie .. and claimed that she wasn’t the one who rented it (but her kids watched it) and that it was her ex .. who WAS with her at the time of the rental who rented it under her name without her permission.

Halifax Trip

Overall .. our Halifax trip was good. Too short.. and spent too much money.. and didn’t seems to have bought enough.. even though we spend so much..!

Medical already cost as much as half of what we spent…! The only thing that really got us tired .. was Chloe waiting up at Uncle Budd’s house at 4am.. and screaming and crying.. and wanting to go home.. immediately. But even in the midst of all her commotion.. she still remembered.. that she wants to bring grammie home.. muahhahahha!

PB tried calming her down with milk.. and in the end.. Chloe and I slept in the tv room in the basement..!! boy !! was it chilly..!! And of course.. the brat woke me up every 20mins.. and didn’t sleep till almost 8am.. and PB had to wake me up at 8.30am.. asking me to go up the bedroom to sleep. Yes. .PB went back to bed to sleep at about 4.40am.. coz’ he needed to drive… and he was driving alone. Poor us..!

Dampened Spirit?

I should.. but i am not gonna to..! Because i’m a survival..!

As you all know.. i went to Halifax for a medical check up for immigration. The doctor called this afternoon, saying that my chest x-ray came back with a shadow .. that the technicians cannot say or determined what it is. I have to go for another x-ray at another angle.. to verify .. that i do not have TB.

I was really quite confident about my medical check-up to be honest with you.. but any phone calls from the doctor.. giving you news like that.. suxs..!!

And nope.. my spirits are not dampened.. ! i’ve always been in good health..! never smoke in my life.. nor drink.. ! and for me to have TB.. i think i will prolly strike lottery first .. before that happens..! I haven’t been outta Canada.. for the last 3 yrs.. and if i have TB.. i must have gotten it here right..?? therefore if i do.. Canada.. better take care of me.. muahahhahahaha!!

Well.. i’ll wait for the doctor’s requisition to come in for another test.. and we will go from there. In the meantime.. please put in a kind word for me.. to the One up there.. please.. 😉

Music

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Just the other day.. while waiting for PB in the car.. while he runs into Walmart to get some movies for the store.. i looked at the CD changer .. in the car.. .and realised that all these years. .that i’ve been here.. outta 6 cds in the changer .. only one belongs to me.

Yes.. PB and I have very different taste in music. Before Chloe came along.. when we were still going to Halifax to visit suppliers.. and getting goods picked up for the store.. we would alternate his music and my music.. but even then.. i know he doesn’t like it too much. I love Sarah Brightman.. Andrea Bocelli, Il Divo .. and Jim Brickman.. you know.. those arty-farty stuff..! Well.. PB is into heavy metal..! yup..!! HEAVY METAL..!! those that starts with .. “ZONG, ZONG! ZONG, ZONG!” type..!

What about you ..?? is your CDs more..?? or his..?? and nope.. Chloe doesn’t really get to listen to children music either in the car.. nor home.. coz’ PB doesn’t like it. Whatever chloe learns .. it’s me.. who sings to her.. 😉 or Aunt Helena.. 😉

Accident

All mothers feel extremely lousy .. when your kid gets hurt. Yes.. everytime.. chloe gets hurt .. for whatever reason.. i feel like i’m the worst mother ever..!!

Today, in the afternoon… PB was busy working on repairing computers, i was busy with some customers.. and i asked asked Keegan who was here for babysitting to answer the phone… so poor chloe tripped and fell.. and hurt her lips .. and knees.. big time..!!

You should see the “bernkat” on her lips..!! so pitiful lah..!!! blood and all.. and then mighty swollen too..!! and all the crying .. when she saw that she was bleeding.. and after she calmed down.. she complained again and again.. that her knees hurt. And my daughter.. does not complain about being hurt.. unless she was really in pain.

Yes.. i feel extremely lousy now..! no wonder PB bought me only a cup noodles without any meat for dinner…! hahhhaha!!!

PS : You see lah.. Vien..!! i told you .. “ang moh” thinks of food really differently right..?? can die or not.. thinking that eating plain noodles is enough..!!! “Pengshan” ah..!!

PB Furious

Wow..!! i’ve never seen PB so furious. .and passionate about anything .. especially when it doesn’t concern him at all.

This evening at about 7.41pm.. he was at work.. and I was home with the brat… and he wrote.. “jesus christ wtf is wrong with some people.. a customer just whacked her kid in the mouth outside the store”. When he came home.. he again mentioned about it. And he said that no kids deserved to be whacked in the mouth.. no matter how naughty he or she is. Coz’ i had tried to defend the customer.. by saying her kids can be really naughty.. coz’ i’ve seen them act up.

But PB was quite adamant this time.. and kept insisting that it was wrong. So i let it be.. and didn’t pursue the subject.. afterall.. i wasn’t there. .and secondly.. it wasn’t my business t0 begin with.

How Goodu..??

How goodu can a person be..??

Yesterday .. a fella who owes us money for years.. from renting our games.. and never brought it back.. walked into our store.. with his g/f. Both looked around for abit.. and left.

He then sends his g/f in.. and got her to ask what it would take to set up an account with our store for game/movie rentals. In which i replied .. a credit card.. and a driver’s license. The only reason why we asked for a credit card.. is usually because the person is a “risky customer”.

Now.. the fella prolly thinks we had forgotten who he is..?? since he didn’t come into our store for years..?? Well..!! sorry.. Dude..!! i’ve got a memory of a stubborn elephant..!!

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.
