The Man Said My Esthetician Is Hot!

Yup..!! the man said my aesthetician was hot..!! We had a customer that was in the other day.. and we were yakking about how he never had any luck with girls. So i had asked him.. what type of gals was his kind, in which he replied.. he really can’t tell. I told him to give me an example.. in which he replied.. she had to be HOT..!! ok..! men here are not so hot.. but yet want HOT girlfriends..!! got meaning or not..??

We had named a few girls in town.. to make comparison… and PB chipped in to say that my aesthetician was hot..!!! Wah Lau..!! i thought the man didn’t have roving eyes.. now we know.. the true color eh..!!! Werewolf on the prowl..!! muahahahaha!!! What would you do.. if your spouse tells you .. your aesthetician was hot..?? smack him on his head..?? or kick him outta bed..and ask him to sleep in the bath tub..?? Pray tell..!! gotta give him some kinda punishment right..??

5 Days Progress

5 days into school.. and she is able to write her own name. Well.. not like she doesn’t know.. but she never got her alphabets correct either. And we.. we never pushed her, slacker parents…? a little. But tonite.. she took out the pen and started writing.. without any prompting. Clearly, she is learning alot, i think the school is doing a great job.. so is her teacher. The brat sings in french.. and love her hopping game… gone to the library and borrowed a book already. Had gym class..and loved gym.. ! had music class.. and love her mustache music teacher. I’m just glad we are not having such a hard time.. with her going to school nor.. else it would be really heartbreaking for me. For a social butterfly like the brat, she sure cannot remember alot of names of her friends.

I Can Vote !!!

I’ve been in Yarmouth for almost 8 yrs now but like any expatriate, you don’t really feel that here is home (if you know what i mean). 8 yrs to-date.. i’ve yet to really feel like this is home. Home is Singapore.. the other side of the world. Truth be told, had i known that winter was this hard.. and medical care suxs.. plus doing business here can be not so fun… dealing with employees and customers, i wouldn’t have come.

I don’t regret coming else i wouldn’t have had my daughter because i really didn’t want to have a kid with anyone else. I don’t regret coming because the man is very accommodating and the in-laws, they are very indulging. They pretty much let me do what i want… and at times.. go crazy..! hence the “crazy chinese woman’s” name came about.

This year in October, there are several elections going on in this town, the Town councils and the Mayor. This year.. i’m also able to vote.. because i’m eligible to. Do i feel like i belong here..?? Mmmmm.. not really .. but it’s getting there. And yes..! this year i’m gonna vote.. come hail storm or flood or whatever.. i’m gonna vote. Why..?? because this town needs a change, it cannot get any worst. I can VOTE..!! and i’m gonna exercise it..!! woohoo..!!! The crazy chinese woman is OFFICIAL now..!

The Tim’s Girls

I have a cup of coffee everyday .. and sometimes i send keegan to get it for me.. but of late. .i needed the walk. so i get them myself. Usually i get a muffin along.. but since my operation.. and i lost my huge tummy.. i figured i shouldn’t be eating too much.. else i might need some weight loss pills. When the gals at our regular coffee shop asked if i needed something else besides coffee.. i had jokingly said.. “nah.. else the man would say i’m fat” .. and they looked absolutely shocked. Muahahah!! they were too kind.. because in Asia.. i would be considered “fat”.

A Call From School

We got a call from Chloe’s school on Monday and you wouldn’t believed who called. HER PRINCIPAL..!!! wow..!! awesome eh..?? i donch remember ever my principal calling my parents. .unless i was in trouble.. or they thought that i had a contagious disease (that would be another story for another day).

Anyhoooo..!! impressed i was lah..!! sauku (mountain tortoise) like that right..?? but coming from Asia hor. .where the teachers and principals are considered Gods of your child’s life .. you kinda need to “humpu bodek” (brown nose/kiss their ass) them as long as you are in their school, so this was really pleasant lah.

The principal had called to inform us what to bring with Chloe on her first day of “real” school.. and a few more instructions. .and even asked if we have any other questions. Awesome right..?? You tell me lah..! where lah .. in Asia.. you get a principal like that one…?? So i’m pretty pleased .. in fact more than pretty pleased. What about your school experience..?? wanna share with me..?

A Big Box

There are awesome ppl here in Yarmouth .. although we have had our fair shares of not so good ones too. But today .. we received a huge box of goodies that the brat loves so much . . and we are forever grateful to our customer for bringing it back for us from Halifax. Can you guessed what we had..?? You can’t imagine what this simple food can do to someone who misses home so much.. and so very deprived of food from home. Check it out here.

Tomorrow Is A Big Day

Tomorrow is a BIG day for us..!! it marks another milestone for us .. and for the brat too. Chloe goes to “Ready, Set, Go” program.. that gets her ready for school this fall. She will be in school from tomorrow till Friday.

I think i am more excited than she is.. or should i say worried. Today .. we went thru’ the routine.. of bringing her to school.. and explaining to her what will go on.. and helping her understand.. what she has gotta do for lunch and her break. I’m a wee bit breathless.. just thinking about it. I think i’m gonna be the one who will be having separation issues tomorrow. Any wise and experienced mom out there..?? care to give me a tip or two..??
