Our lil’ town just had their very first dragon boat race.. 2 weekend ago. And if you look at the picture carefully, you’ll see that the dragon boat “head” sure looks pathetic.. muahahahha!! “Long Tau” not majestic nor commanding .. how to have a real race leh….?? I also wonder if they “opened” the eye of the dragon.. before having the race..?? It’s a good effort for sure.. but not as majestic as the dragon boats we have back home.. celebrating “tuan wu jie”. Yarmouth, you have a long way to go.

Strange nobody asked me.. anything about the tradition of a dragon boat race.. and its festivals. But knowing this town.. we know they how they work.. donch we..?

Not Trustworthy!

What a start of the day..!! Got a call from the bank.. telling us.. that a customer’s cheque got bounced..!! And to think that we were doing a good deed. She came in a month ago wanting to buy a system from us.. but could only give us a post-dated cheque till welfare day. Outta goodwill .. and for the sake of her children.. we said.. yes.. and took a personal cheque from her.. which we NEVER EVER DO..!! afterall, we learned it the hard way.. after getting burnt a few times.

It isn’t alot of money.. but still it is our hard-earned money.. and for ppl to ding us like that.. when we were being kind..! just doesn’t seem right at all…!! And we are definitely cannot and will not be kind anymore to the ppl here.. no matter who they are from now on. It isn’t even the money.. it’s the feeling of getting cheated..!! that’s what i hate most..!

Ppl here wonder why we are so bitter..?? you see lah..!! we do so many good deeds.. for customers/ex-employees.. and the ppl we meet around here .. because of our business.. but see what we get in return..??!!!?? Kenna treated like a fool all the time..!! &#$%&*^^^&##$#

Shudders

This evening coming home from work. .we went by the grocery store to pick up a few things. Happy, happy we were .. because we had a really good day at the store. And we were asking Chloe to pick between her horsey ride or go for car wash.. since we didn’t have time for both. In the grocery store we were in discussing what to pick up .. so we donch miss anything.. and guess who we caught a glimpse of.. for a second..?? that sent shudders down my spine.

An ex-worker.. whom i had thought had left town by now.. but nope.. she was still around. And to think that i might have endangered my own daughter.. by entrusting my daughter to her.. to play with everyday for more than a year. My great-grandmother used to say. “know the person, know the face .. but you never know the heart!” How true.. Grandma..! how true..!

Lobster for Sale At Furniture Giant

If you donch know by now.. Nova Scotia is a well known place for lobster fishing.. and anything to do with fishing. But yes.. lobster fishermen are a huge thing here. Tell the bank that you are a fisherman.. they will literally beg you to take their money.. ! muahahha!! and nope.. i ain’t joking.. it’s true..!

But folks.. you don’t have to come to Nova Scotia now.. to buy lobsters.. from Nova Scotia. Sears your furniture giant has teamed up with Clearwater Lobster from Halifax to sell you high quality shellfish. But I think they only deliver to places around Canada and guarantees freshness, as compared to your local store.

I guess if i weren’t in Nova Scotia, i just might do that.. order from Sears.ca

The Funniest Thing I’ve Heard

We owned a video store.. and with it.. comes lots of customers. In our database.. we have more than 3500 and about 2000 active, meaning we see them AT LEAST once a week. And some has really bad kids..! and the funniest thing i always hear is .. “it’s the kid’s fault..!! i’ve done my best..!” or even funnier.. “I’ve got no help..! i did it alone..!! so therefore my kid is bad..! ”

Many a times.. i just bite my tongue..!! but actually what i wanna say is.. “Lady.. if your kid is bad.. he or she has gotta learn it somewhere.. !! if your kid is bad.. it’s not the kid’s fault..!! it is yours..!!”

My mother have 4 kids.. she works full time.. and she did it all alone.. because my dad is a good-for-nothing.. yet we all 4 were good kids.. when we were younger. We never did what these kids here do..! like breaking into people’s houses.. or stealing cars.. or running away with boyfriends at 13. One thing i learn from my mother’s upbringing is never to nag at your kids. Learn to listen.. learn to empathize. Very important.

Line Dancing Means More Me Time

Line Dancing is starting again soon.. !! in a few weeks.. to be exact.. ! i read in the local papers today. Nah.. not me.. i’m not into line dancing.. but my MIL and Aunt Helena is. So what does it all mean..?? Babysitting with Grammie on Tuedays..!! Woo Hoo..!! more free time for me..!

I can’t remember if Grammie does line dancing during the winter.. but i am assuming not. But that’s ok.. between now and winter.. i’ll still get more rest… at the store.. .and Chloe can bond again with Grammie.

Awesome Subway

This was my dinner on Monday. And yes.. I had dinner at about 8.20pm at the store. Usually we like to eat before going home.. so we can either concentrate on the brat or do housework. But as you can see.. the bread is broken.. in parts. The person who did this sandwich for me.. obviously knows and i wonder how she thinks i am able to maneuver the deli sandwich and eat it..??

Hear Ye .. Hear Ye..!!

Can’t believe it took the Nova Scotia “garmen” to only now want changes in the youth criminal justice act *shaking head*. The only reason why teenagers are breaking all the law .. is because they know.. that they are underage and cannot be charged as an adult.. and will therefore be only slap on their wrist .. when presented in court and then release under so call.. “house-arrest”.

My ex-worker’s son steal cars for joy rides.. breaks into the school compound .. is only 12 yrs old .. and what does he get ..?? boot camp.. ! and that’s it.. ! the minute he gets out.. he is at it again. And his mom thinks he has some psychological issue..?? I think not..! I think he is seeking the attention .. of his mom.. or anyone. And people here are so quick to blame everything on ADD or HDD.

Now they demand for “tough measures to be taken.. ??” things doesn’t’ happen overnite. C’mon..!! you think it is only now that your youth is bad..?? and incorrigible..?? No way..!! These ppl are making me laugh so hard..! They really fail to see the root of the problem ..! One word .. “SAD!”
