Nursing Is The Way To Go

If i weren’t afraid of dead ppl and mortuary, I would have become a nurse or even a doctor. But i’m handicapped because i’m a wimp… muahahha!! For years and years.. i’ve known all along. .that nursing pays not only well.. it is one profession.. that will never be too much ..! For generations.. during my grandfather’s time, he had wanted my aunt to go into nursing.. and to please him.. she did. One of my uncle was the head of the nursing school back home. And one of our favourite customer’s wife is also heading the nursing dept here.

With the loonie so strong here in Canada.. it’s enough to lure some nurses back from the States. I know alot have gone to the States to work. Maybe the strong loonie will work for us this time.. instead of against us. Nurses and doctors are a great shortage here in Nova Scotia and with more and more nurses retiring.. we’ll need to do more than just giving them more pay. I hope the government will act on it and take advantage of the currency situation.

It’s Summer Again..??

I was just complaining about the weather turning cold a few days ago.. but boy! was it warm today.. it’s almost like summer again. I hear it is not only us here in town that experienced the warm weather today, apparently all of Nova Scotia had good weather today. I think we must be closed to 3o degrees today.

Poor Aida from Nunavut was already experiencing snow last week. Bummer..!

$8.8 Million Bookmark

A 649 ticket used as a bookmark is the winner of the local lottery ticket. How nice eh..?? to have a bookmark worth $8.8 million. I donch know what I would do with 8 million dollars .. if i had won.. but we are not very much into buying lottery tickets. The biggest win i had since coming to Canada was like $58, it was unexpected.. and i was only buying for fun.

PB buys them sometimes too.. but i guess .. if we do win $8 million.. we’ll probably just quit our business.. and do stuff we like. We’ll work of course.. but i think we will be doing alot of traveling.. that’s for sure. What would you do.. if you became a millionaire overnite..??

Tim Hortons Gals

I’ll have to say that going to Tim’s now .. is alot merrier for me.. these days.. coz’ the gals at Tim’s are nice now. Remember last year.. i had some problems.. with 1 particular customer who sits at Tim’s all the time.. and one gal who misunderstood what I said. But the gals working now at Tim’s are so pleasant.. and they always treat the brat good.

In fact, the brat has taken to one of them big time.. and wants hug from her.. everytime.. she visits. And she wants to show off her new toys.. or puzzles to her. It is really and extremely nice.. to see ppl for once .. being decent in this town. And the Tim’s gals work really hard.. and they even remember what I take in my coffee. One supervisor knows i love mushroom soup very much.. and everytime.. she makes them.. she’ll make sure i know about it. And if PB was the one getting me coffee for the day.. they would even inform him about it. Now how nice is that…!! going beyond the call of duty.

Shared Lunch

This is what i usually share with PB for lunch.. if we can’t think of anything else to eat. The combo comes with beef and broccoli and chicken balls.. but i never eat those balls.. and PB never eat the broccoli and beef. So it works out well for us.. and we can’t even finished the lunch.. between us.. there will always be leftovers for PB’s dinner. Yup.. food ain’t as good as we want it to be.

Fall Here For Sure

As much as I hate to admit it.. Fall is really here. The nites are really chilly and even in the afternoon.. it gets too windy.. for comfort. This year.. i’m not as protected towards Chloe as I was .. in the last few years. She wears a light sweater now.. with no vest but i still make her wear stuff that is long sleeves.

Yes.. i think i am becoming pretty Canadianized lately. I’m pretty sure i am.. coz’ i never used to curse at all..! NEVER ..! not till i came to Canada….!! These days.. you mess with the Crazy Chinese Woman.. you are IN for it..!! muahahahhaha!!

Ok.. fall is here.

My Usual Breakfast

This is my usual breakfast .. at about noon . .and sometimes later.. if i donch get to wake up in time. Sometimes.. because the brat didn’t sleep the whole nite.. so i had no time to make breakfast.. and have to wait till we go to the store.. before i can get something to eat. This is a sesame seed bagel with light strawberry cream cheese. I prefer to have cinnamom raisin bagel.. but if they are sold out like today.. because i only managed to get food after 1pm.. the kids out for lunch usually gets my favourite first.

The Famous Egg Roll

This is the very famous egg roll that is popular in the western part. There is absolutely no eggs in it.. and we never have this back home too.. in Asia. So how it became a chinese thing in the Western part.. i donch even know. Some places in Halifax i know sells the all meat egg rolls. The normal ones have cabbage, potatoes..and some meat in it. It’s very oily.. coz’ it’s deep fried.
