And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
Yes.. to those around here.. they are exotic fruits. Bring it up to the cashier..and if you did not have those code stickers on it.. they wouldn’t know what this is called. And i’m so not kidding either. And it’s freaking expensive .. at $1.99 about $6 ringgits. Yup.. $6 ringgits for a mango.. it had better be good eh..??
This has gotta be the worst food i’ve tasted here. The lasagne was ordered at The Colony restaurant.. and it was awful..!! it’s like they reheat the whole thing so many times.. or heat it too much.. the bits and pieces of beef in the lasagne was so dry.. even a stray dog wouldn’t eat it. The pieces of bread were supposed to be garlic bread.. but it just reeked of something.. but not garlic..! I didn’t finished my food.. and had it all “ta – pau” .. but tonite.. i still couldn’t finished it. It was way past horrid..! I asked PB .. why do i still bother to eat out.. anymore..?? it is just too depressing to eat out.
We have quite a few invitation this time of the year for birthday parties for kids around chloe’s age. Strange as it might sound.. since Chloe doesn’t attend pre-kindergarten or child care center, our invites are no less than those kids .. that do attend.
Yes.. you guess right..! invites are mostly from customers of our store.. and honestly, we do try to go .. because they are the folks we want Chloe to grow up with. One such family is the ever generous and loving family Gerald, Adele and Sarah Leblanc. How generous are they..?? after Halloween, Adele (who is ultra busy lady), came by our store.. so that Chloe can get her goodie bag for Halloween..! you see lah..! where got so nice folks one.. right..?? go out of their way .. to make sure .. that Chloe knows she is not forgotten.
Sometimes I wished we could do more .. for folks like the Leblanc’s .. they donch pick gifts for Chloe and us .. just randomly.. they really give it much thoughts too. And really .. we wished we have more time to go to everyone’s party.. but time just would not permit it.. ! We need 48 hrs a day.. !! Got time to sell..??
From red carpets, The Shopping Channel, talk shows and blogging on the Net, comedian Rivers brings her brash antics to Halifax’s Casino Nova Scotia.
So near yet so far..! if only the show was on the weekend..i may even try to plan it around the show. I really like Joan Rivers, she makes me laugh so hard. Not your typical grandmother, i’ll have to say. If i look as good as Joan Rivers .. when i am her age now.. i’ll be the happiest woman on earth.. minus the plastic surgeries of course.
What i liked about her .. i think is the fact that she has that .. “i donch care what you think of me” attitude..coz’ there are just too many ppl .. who are just so pretentious… or very “plasticky”. Joan Rivers .. i like her “garangness” (boldness) and at $65 a pop for watching her.. i donch think it is expensive at all. Already there are some ppl trying to make a little more money on the net.. by selling her tickets for the show for $100 or best offer.
See what we have .. at our local grocery stores..?? real early for christmas krispies eh..?? but look how colorful they are..! so cool..!! No, I didn’t buy it.. because .. i donch really like it.. and the only one who might eat it .. is the brat. But it is sure colorful eh.
It was Remembrance Day yesterday… but it was so cold.. we didn’t really get to do anything.. with chloe.. and teaching her about Remembrance Day. With so many things going on .. in Afghan.. and Canadians in foreign land.. i thought i should teach her young.. and remember those heroes.. who have made it possible for young Canadians like her to enjoy the freedom that she is enjoying right now. I think it is so important to teach them young, that way they will understand it better.. and children do absorb alot more.. than we give them credit for.
I’ve been in Canada for 7 yrs now. .and the amount of time i’ve eaten fresh pineapples are less than 10 times. Most times i eat them at Aunt Helena’s when we visit my in-law’s on Sunday… and it’s not even because I am stingy about it. But buying a whole pineapple for 5.99 most days.. is just not worth it .. when you are eating it alone.
Yes.. quite the ironic .. if you ask me.. back home we have them at the wet market for $1.00 and in Bangkok or anywheres in Thailand is like 20 cents. As asians.. we all love pineapples .. but you and i know that pineapples are not the best fruits to take .. for a women.. as per old wives tale. Nope .. PB doesn’t eat them. nor does the brat.. so usually .. i end up throwing them out.. so “sayang” .. therefore i never buy them unless they are on sale.. which is still ex.. ! Grrrrrrrhhhh..!!
When you walked into your friendly grocery store.. and you see these… you know tis’ the season..! I love fruit cakes.. ! what about you..?? they have different kinds of fruit cakes here.. from the light.. to the dark.. to the ones with marzipan and the ones with walnut topping. As much as I love them.. i won’t buy them.. because i can’t even finish just one fruit cake.. and it always ends up a year later.. in my fridge. .and ready to throw out. It is just too sweet.
I played guitar hero too..!! so does it make me a gamer too..?? Bleh..! i know.. i know..! i wanna be game suavey too you know.. and play with my brat and PB .. so i tried it out yesterday after Keegan left for home last nite.
How did I fair..?? seriously you donch wanna know.. muahahha!! i think the brat who is not 4 yet.. plays better than I. “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” .. didn’t get hit that hard.. by me. .muahahha!! I really do try to join in a game or two.. like i took up Unreal Tournament .. just so i can be on the same wave length with PB .. before we had the brat.. but after having the brat.. well.. my full attention was on her.. and still is. I really think being a mummy is different from being a daddy. PB just loves his toys still .. but of course he is way better than his friends.. who would have everything and anything immediately. So I should be thankful.. that he is not like this… he does have his priorities.
