My Life in Canada

Budd my FIL, all dressed up .. shaved but tired looking after a long day. I love my FIL.. !!! Ooops..!! i think i owe my FIL to Boksy from Frantaglais blah-blah .. coz’ she guessed correctly about the pumpkin thingie that i had in my old blog.

Aunt Renette is the host of most of our family gatherings .. like 99%. She is the perfect host..!! always thanking us for coming for the gatherings.. when in fact we should be the one thanking her for having us.. and providing loads and loads of food.. and sweets. She is the most gracious host i’ve come across… making sure that we got enough to eat always. She is also the god-mother of my spouse. I absolutely .. absolutely adore her. She is funny, cute, humble.. and so .. so kind. I just connected to her immediately… when i first met her. She is so motherly.. so warm.

Today .. we called in an exchange student to come in and work with my spouse in the morning.. to see how he is at work.. and to see if for some very vague hope of mine.. that hiring a asian student would work out better for us.. since in my mentality.. we asians are by far more hardworking, resourceful, intelligent, respectful and diligent, of course including my in-laws and our families lah.. extended ones included.
Tank is from Taiwan and is an exchange student here – 18yrs old and trying to get citizenship here in Canada. I’ve known him for a few years now… and he seem pleasant enough for the kinda job we are doing. He will be in Grade 12 this Sept and we are hoping he will keep working part-time for us too when school starts.

I was brought up discouraged to go to funerals and wakes.. by my mum.. because she fears that we might either get sick.. or the spirit might follow us home.
But with Chloe.. i told her yesterday .. to say goodbye to Granduncle Roy.. and that we will see him in heaven. Chloe gave her GrandUncle Roy a flying kiss.
I want Chloe to grow up without fearing the dead or death.
What about you ..?? what’s your view on it..??

These are Uncle Roy’s sons. Troy, Richard (g/f hiding behind him) and Mario (pronounce in french ok… )

I wished we would have met all of you in a better circumstances. I know that Uncle Roy would have like that we were closer .. and know each other better.
Troy, Richard (g/f included) & Mario .. please don’t be a stranger……!! i really want Chloe to know her uncles well. We hope to see you all more often.. ! come connect with us.. !! We love you all alot too..!!

The picture says it all.. eheheheheheh!!!

What a lovely & happy family!
