Belated Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year to one and all!!

I haven't been to this site lately.. soooooo many things had happened since my last up-date.. most of them were terribly exciting yet i failed to jot it here.. i guess Facebook really won the hearts of the idle minds like mine.. hehe..

Anyway, so how was Christmas everyone?

We though we'll gonna have a white Christmas. It should be because we were actually anticipating a white one even before we migrated here. It turned out a rainy Christmas yet happy to say it became a really colorful one.. We celebrated it in our niece and nephews' home in Dundas West. And yes, our jaws ached due to so much fun and laughter..








Good food, heart-warming people, gift giving and anecdotes of the past really made the best Christmas ever..!! We're really blessed and we couldn't ask for more..

biking around

i woke up quite late this morning. got nothing to do.. it's my day off so i decided to bike around bristol road and gone out to see the place. biking from bristol to its major intersection in hurontario gave me a break from it all.. such fun.. canada has offered us such clean and invigorating environment.

hubby has been transferred to a much better post, he's now gonna work from 7am to 3pm everyday which means there are more time seeing each other finally.. two sons shall work in their usual grave shifts and they're happy about it. they don't sleep at night though.

daughter is enrolled but we still has to wait for the principal's call to confirm her class schedule. she only has to take 4 subjects during the first semester and another four later before she graduate.

happy and relaxed.. nice, huh?

changes

just the address though. we'll be moving to applewood at the park on october 1st! whoa, we're all excited....

part of the changes is that my day off will be today and tommorow instead of the usual tuesdays alone.. but only for this week.. :(

the reason is because i have to enroll our daughter to St Francis Xavier Catholic School. Yup, she got to go back to high school and complete the 8 remaining units not offered from her previous schools in china..

gotta go now.. miss you all!

see you later tonight.

Julie and Julia

Just arrived from Square One after watching the movie with my daughter. Such fun watching our ever-favourite Meryll Streep.. The movie is really fun yet we were dissappointed that Julie and Julia did not end up meeting each other..

This has been my 3rd movie since I arrived here in Canada. Busy, eh? hehe..

This is one of the joys of having my day off during Tuesdays.. Not so many people in the movie houses and malls..

waiting..

just waiting for my driver from work. 'gotta start early today for the school openings.. gee, i never thought most schools here in Canada patronizes us.. it's exciting though.

see ya! the driver is here.

Home Alone

Hubby and 2 sons are at work while my daughter will stay overnight in our niece and nephew's home and will come back tomorrow morning. In a meantime, here I am alone in our home and keeping up with my neglected friends on line.

It's my day off today. My hubby and myself had gone out this afternoon and meet up with a new house agent. He showed us a property near Dundas West. It's a high rise condo, the price is relatively low yet the maintenance fee is outrageously high. We love it at first sight considering that the interior design, the number of rooms and the area alone is really lovely but as mentioned, the maintenance fee is not acceptable. Just like paying two homes at a time which is a big turn off.

The rain pounded really hard while we're on our way to see the condo this afternoon. It was only awhile ago when I heard the news that tornado alert were being activated by Environment Canada and was downgraded to severe thunderstorms at 2 pm today. People were warned early this afternoon without us knowing it.. Gee, isn't that scary..?
