Immigration In Canada

I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a long time. It is for the benefit of those .. who are thinking of migrating to Canada. You’ve heard alot of horror stories.. about migrating to Canada .. ??

Well to tell you the truth.. immigration and its ppl in immigration has been nothing but good to me. They have always been reasonable.. and all. We didn’t need a immigration lawyer or anything to help us fill up the forms. Sure there was alot to fill up.. and i had to do my health check a few times.. but they were always reasonable.. and if we missed out anything.. they would write.. or try to contact us by phone.

Like i said.. i had great success with immigration… i hope you will too. But i have to forewarn you .. that if you are thinking of migrating.. make sure.. you do have money to help you out for at least a year.. because taxes is high.. and finding work.. in different part of canada.. is hard for some.

I’m luckier.. coz’ PB owns his own business.. and i didn’t have to work .. and make my own money .. while waiting for my papers to go thru’ . It might take a long time.. for the papers to be all done .. because in my case.. i did my papers.. while i was in Canada. But like i said.. i’ve had good success with immigration in Canada.. and whatever horror stories you’ve heard.. i’ve NOT experience. So i hope.. that anyone finding this article on the internet.. can find some assurance.. and comfort in knowing .. that ppl like me.. nothing special.. i went thru’ immigration with no problems. And i know of another person.. who married a china wife.. and he didn’t have any either.

More Money

Customer was in on Friday.. long time customer/friend.. Sherry came in today to pick up her movie (the desperate housewives series) .. and .. gave the lil’ brat $20 bucks.. for her piggy bank. This is not the first time.. that Sherry is giving money to my brat.

Sherry is the other person… who gives money to chloe besides Gary and they never ever mentioned things like paying for her college fund .. like some customers do.. when they are paying their lates. My chloe is so blessed.. and lucky .. to have ppl give her money for absolutely no reason eh..?? And of course.. we have generous customers/friends who has never demanded anything special from us.

Chloe would have more money in her piggy bank.. if not for one of our ex-worker stealing from her piggy bank.. when we were moving from the old location to the new. And i tell ya.. it was quite a fair bit of money that the person stole. I hope that the person will get diarrhea every now and then.. for the deed she has done. Stealing from a less than 2 yrs old kid.. is terrible, donch you think..?? I think that’s the lowest one can go.

Pizza & Cinnamom Strips

Been a long time since i’ve had Greco’s pizza or cinnamon strips.. especially Pizza. On Thursday.. amidst the rain and all.. i made PB .. go pick up my pizza .. and cinnamon strips. and a good thing that i ordered it.. because by the time he got home with it.. i was starving.. and there wasn’t much that i can cooked .. or wanna cooked.

I ordered a personal pizza with bacon, mushroom, pepperoni and pineapple. It wasn’t bad.. but not the best i’ve had. But after not having it for so long.. i guess it was alright. The Cinni strips.. were as sweet as i can remember them to be. I finished 3 pieces of pizza and left one for PB .. but this morning.. i saw that he didn’t eat it..! what a waste..!! and i could have put it in the fridge.. !! oh well..!! his money..!! the cinni strips are all gone though..!

The last time i had Greco was when we moved to our present house .. more than 2 yrs ago. Honestly, the taste is still the same… and what a coincidence, coz’ a customer was in the store today.. and asked me.. “how was your pizza last nite..??” I guess this town is pretty small eh..??

Some Ppl Are Just Plain Rude

A big man and his father came into our store.. after the cursory greeting.. we left them on their own. The walked around the store.. and the son.. started digging into PB’s stuff .. at the bottom of one of his working desk.. where he has all his wires.. and what nots.. for computer stuff in it.

Now what pisses me off big time.. is .. why the hell.. wouldn’t that fella ask for help..?? instead of digging into things.. without even asking if he can or not..?? Surely.. you go into someone’s business.. you donch do this kinda thing..?? I can never imagine.. going thru’ someone’s things like that.. not even my sister.. or my mom.. !! so why do ppl do stuff like that..??

Wouldn’t you be pissed off..?? because i’m sure.. PB has all his things.. all packed properly.. and know exactly where his things are.. and all. Like if someone comes into your kitchen.. and mess things up for you ..?? how you feel right..??

“Malu” about the Food I EaT

You all know that i love visiting Food Blogs right..?? I can’t seems to get enough of it at times.. and food blogs have kept me company .. when i was craving so badly for food.. when i was having Chloe.

But hor.. when i see those pictures from food blogs like Boolicious.. Precious Pea, Masak, Masak, Jackson, MeiYen .. and alot more food bloggers… I so the malu lah..to show ppl the food i eat here.

Today i ordered food from the new chinese restaurant. Sure by far, it’s the best we’ve eaten.. but when i look at the pictures from Precious Pea tonite..!! i so the malu.. to show off my food..! coz’ it’s certainly nothing .. like those you get back home.. and the presentation here..?? no presentation..!! And not only that.. we pay alot more .. just for sweet and sour pork.. and a plate of vegies.. with some rice. A bowl of rice is at $1.75 .. !!!! crazy eh..?? Not like the rice is laced with lobster sauce or something.. just plain rice..! can die or not..?? $1.75 is equivalent to Malaysian Ringgit $5.00. So you tell me lah.. daylight robbery or not..??

Tourist & The Cat

The Cat just came in for this afternoon.. and as usual.. you see all sorts of tourist .. coming downtown.. in fact .. throngs of them.

I see alot of chinese with amercians these days.. and children .. walking the streets .. and it never fails to amaze me.. that so many ppl are willing to uproot.. and marry someone from another race.. and start their life afresh. Many a times.. i wonder if they are like me..?? are they missing home..?? how are they coping..??

Alot of ppl thinks that marrying “ang moh” and move to “ang moh” land.. very glamorous.. and if you are one of them.. let me tell you it is not.. and far from it. I choose to be home anytime.. but of course .. marrying “ang moh” is way lot better for me lah..! but in “ang moh” land.. that’s not what i want. If only i can uproot “ang moh” to Singapore or Malaysia.. hahahhaha!! now that would be perfect..!

Now .. how did i end up talking about me..?? and not the Cat and the Tourists that comes here???? I digress.. muahahhahaha!!

One Of Those Days

I guess this week is gonna be one of those days.. where we will see more ppl trying to sell things to us then to buy things.

It is just too, too sad.. to see grown up men coming in to sell stuff.. with the excuse that “money was needed to buy milk” for his children. I mean.. how can you not have money .. for milk and food for your kids..?? Truly .. i donch know what to think of ppl like that.. and it’s not just one person doing or saying stuff like that.. it’s alot.

People just donch know how to manage their money. When they have it.. they just spent it like nobody’s business.. buying whatever that’s unnecessary at all. How lah to pity ppl like that.. ??? But PB .. he would buy.. irregardless.. because when someone said.. they need food for their children.. he would help. So although .. some might say PB is nonchalant.. i don’t think so.

2.28 NOT 2.00

A customer came in to pay for a VHS movie and asked me how much it was, right in front of me. PB wasn’t in at that time, and i had replied ” 2.28 tax included”.

She gave me 2 bucks and walked out..! muahahahahahha!! ppl are so freaking.. i donch know what to call it anymore..!! not like i’m hard up for that .28 cents .. but that’s taxes that the government wants..!!!

And it’s not like i donch speak freaking english.. !! ello..!!!! 2.28 !!! NOT 2 bucks..!!!
