French Immersion It Is

Yes.. Chloe is finally registered with the french immersion school in town. A call to the school.. and after a short conversation.. PB had Chloe registered for next year.. and I’ll have to remember to double check on her registration sometime next year .. before the school start.

Since I donch speak french..and grammie only speaks acadian french.. it’s gonna be very trying but exciting for us too. But Keegan speaks french.. because she was in French Immersion too.. so maybe we’ll have to hire keegan on for tutor too.. when chloe is older.

Raining All Day

Yes.. first Hurricane Noel.. and then the weather was somewhat clear on Monday .. and today.. ??? it rained the whole day..!! cats and dogs..!! Oh boy..!! it suxs..!! everytime i need to go out of the store.. to get a coffee.. or lunch.. or throw some garbage out.. i get wet..!

It just suxs big time.. that it gets wet earlier every year. This is the fishing season.. and with this much rain.. i really fear for the fishermen in our county. Not only that.. if the fishermen donch bring in the lobsters.. like they are supposed to.. it would mean that the businesses in town will be affected.. during the holiday season..! Sure suxs..!! big time.

When It Doesn’t Make Sense

In this town of ours.. if anything that make sense.. we are all in unison .. with its conclusion. ” This is YARMOUTH” we would state, a matter-of-factly. Yes.. anything goes wrong.. we’ll say.. “This is Yarmouth” ..!! See a pregnant teenager.. “This is Yarmouth” ..!

Ironic..?? nah.. “THIS IS YARMOUTH!” yes.. i know you get the hint by now. But it’s true.. anything bad, funny, weird, too weird, too stupid, too outrageous.. now say it together with me.. “THIS IS YARMOUTH..!”

To French Or Not To French

As a mother.. we are all worried about our child’s education… and I.. yours truly is no different. Here in Canada .. we have what they call the French Immersion School, where children get to learn a second language – French ..! but of course..! Many parent has different reasons for wanting to put their child into French Immersion.. but mostly, they want their child to have the edge of adulthood as many government jobs requires that they speak French.

My MIL, is Acadian French, and when PB was much younger.. he speaks in French too. Back home in Asia.. we too learn several 2nd and 3rd languages.. like Mandarin and Bahasa Malay.. 2 common ones… and of course.. some schools provides the japanese language as an option for 3rd language. We coped .. and so will my brat i believe.

But my reason for sending her to French Immersion is a very selfish reason. I donch want Chloe to be at the south end school. Why..?? because i heard it is a bad school. And the place where we are staying in is zoned for that school and chloe would have to go to the South End School.. if we choose not to send her to French Immersion. So there you have it.. i’m a “kiasu” mum.. my FIL says i’m a chinese jew.. and that’s not for nothing eh..?? muahahhahahah!

Halloween Parade

A few nites before Halloween .. we had a halloween parade on Main Street. It was quite shocking because we didn’t know about it at all. And by the time we clued in .. the parade was almost over. But it was still a pathetic parade.. coz’ the street was dark.. nobody seems to know that there was a parade! not many folks on the street and for us as business owners on Main street, not informed about this.. can be real bad for our business. Coz’ road block, customers donch know.. and prolly an irate customer/s who would vowed not to come downtown no more. Organizers are sure great in this town eh..?

Brunch At Snack Place

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

First of all.. I’ll have to give credit where credit is due. The person who served us.. was the most cheerful person I’ve ever seen in my entire years in Y-town.. but the Snack Place is nothing fanciful.. and food is nothing to shout about either. Let just say.. the clams are ordinary.. and for the price we are paying.. it would be really nice.. if it didn’t look like we are in a 70s diner. I haven’t had clams for a good 5.5 yrs.. so i decided to try some.. well.. as you can see.. i didn’t finished it.. it was jaw breaking.

Dangerous storm heads to eastern Canada

“People in Atlantic Canada are expecting heavy rain, strong winds and possible electrical outages as the remnants of Hurricane Noel hit the region this weekend.”

As at 4pm this afternoon . .the rain intensified.. and it is truly nasty out there. We closed our store at 6pm this evening and told Keegan to stay home and be safe. Glad we didn’t go on our “Eat My Way to Halifax” trip. The full brunt of Hurricane Noel is gonna hit us later on this evening.. and we donch know how much damage it will cause us here in Y-Town. So I am gonna quickly post this up.. so you all know that we are safe as at 7pm .. NS time. The skies turned from bright blue to dark black and rain began pelting.
