Life is hectic, but Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Started a new job, finished another job yesterday; life is insanely busy.  

I am now an official GO transit/TTC commuter.  Will be taking the public transit almost everyday now.  Absolutely hate it.  But I guess it's better than waking up at 5:30 (even though I wake up at 6:00 now, not much difference), and driving home in rush hour traffic.

I hate the feeling of not knowing what to do.  That's what happens when one starts a new job.  It was a big step for me to change; change is hard.  It's hard when I really liked my previous job (except the hours).  This new job could be temporarily, it could be long-term.  Who knows.  Nevertheless, I am learning something new; like what daddy said "it's good, it's a learning new experience."  You are right, daddy.  Happy Birthday!!  Miss ya.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD!!!

My Daddy, Dr. Su.

Happy Birthday Chloe & Anabelle

Life is crazy...

so crazy that i forgot about my lovely nieces Chloe and Anabelle's birthdays!!!

I miss you guys so much...

Why do emails always arrive after I leave my computer?

Finally finished a crazy 3 month stretch of work.  I have learned that being a teacher is hard.  Perhaps I do not know a lot about adult education.  But i really enjoyed this experience.  I was fortunate to have a great bunch of students; they were dedicated and very hard working.  The 11 weeks flew by so quickly.  I don't know if i'll get the chance to do it again, but i wouldn't mind.

Another thing i learned was that my body is not built for full time work.  It really takes a lot out of me.  During the past 3 months, i felt like the me when i first started working, always tired, never feel rested.  On Saturday, i slept for 12 hours, trying to make up the sleep that i missed.  So right now i'm just going to chill.  No more work (also means no more $$).  What am i doing with my life?  The question surfaced again.  

It was Nathan's 1yr old birthday party.  

Time flies.... 

Photos are on my facebook.

每日一complaint

It is disheartening when you used to like someone, but later found out some things about that person, and totally changed your view towards that person.

If someone applies for a position that is supposed to be a supportive towards your colleagues, then why doesn't that person support?

Sometimes people get in the mode of thinking you are now the boss and feeling all high and mighty, and forget about your own place.  I hate hypocrites.... Absolutely hate it.

Stephanie is asking "what's the meaning of life?"  

I often wonder the same too.

What is the purpose of living?  What are we working so hard for?  

Last night I dreamed that Jay was my boyfriend (oops, ming's gonna kill me), but he cheated on me, and I was so sad...  I was telling a friend that what's the point of staying with one guy who has a history of cheating, and repeats it again?  Hahaha... Men are bad animals on this planet.

亂講一通。

自從家裡裝了衛星， 我以經看了好幾部電影。 發現其實我還滿愛看電影的。 但我只喜歡在家裡看， 不喜歡去電影院。 

昨天看了Sex and the City Movie，surprisingly 還滿感人的。。。 

之前還看了P.S. I Love You， 覺得那是近幾年來最感人的電影。 強力推薦。：）

Been busy at work lately as well.  I now realize the difficulty of ming's job.  Being a teacher is not easy.  Having patience is a must... Whether i have enough patience is yet to be determined.  But i really enjoy the challenges and see how the students are improving every day (well, at least most of them are).

Maybe because i've been working more, i'm always tired, sleep for a long time now.  Can't wait till X'mas now.  But i don't like x'mas, coz it makes me think about family and how i'm not around them.  So maybe i don't want x'mas to come.  X'mas also mean the end of a year, so i hate that feeling too.  That means another year has passed and i've still not accomplished anything.... Also means i'm getting old.  Boo x'mas, booo.....

沒人性~

Don't eat anything that's "Made in China"!!!  As simple as that....

If China does not care about their own citizens (including the vulnerable children and infants), it is their problem.  We as customers knowing how horribly China "inspects" their food products, should not be stupid and go buy things that are made in China.  Sure, their things may be cheaper, and why is that? Coz they add poisonous stuff in their food to drive the cost down... 不要逞一時之快, thinking you can save money now.  We will all end up paying more for it in the future.  I just cannot believe that the Chinese people are doing it again... Last time it was the animals (remember last time pet food in N. America killed a number of animals here) and this time it's the babies; and it is the same stupid thing that they used to put in pet food and infant formula.  How could they not have learned from it?  

If Taiwan ever joins China as a country, Taiwanese people will suffer from the same issues that the Chinese people are facing now.... By that time, I will not buy anything that is made in Taiwan either, coz I won't want my future children to get sick....

Hurting little babies just makes me so mad....  

Went to do hot yoga last night.  The purpose of doing exercise is to get fit and healthy.  However, after I got home, it was already very late, I cooked dinner, and I hate a big bowel of dinner.  And because I ate so late, i went to bed late and could not fall asleep coz i was too full.... 真是反效果.

So Jay is coming to Toronto.  I am definitely going.  Can't wait!!!

Went to see Jamie and Emma over the weekend.  Emma is a little yellow... keep drinking oh, Emma.  Jamie and Emma 加油.

It's a Virgo...Again!

Congratulations to my good friend Jamie.  Jamie and Vincent had their baby on September 8th at 1:55am.  Emma is very very very cute and healthy.  I am so happy for them.

For the whole day, I was looking up on this brand of knife.  I want to get them so bad...

So today is the last day of ming's summer vacation.

So sad....

Baby News- it's a Virgo!

So our good friend Lance and Nica had their baby.  Aiden is his name.  

I am so proud of them, becoming young and loving parents.

Aiden is healthy, gorgeous, and just perfect.

Nica is strong and looks so calm.

Whereas Lance is kinda clueless (especially with the new perm), but very supportive towards his wife and very caring towards Aiden.

Congratulations to them both!!!!

I can't wait to meet Mr. Aiden Wei

... continued from takko's comment....

I've been so busy with work and life this past few months, i've lost touch with blogging and facebook!  I used to be the loyal fan of people's blog and facebook that i would visit those sites more than twice a day!!!  Damn i miss those days- just sits in front of the computer and check out who's updated what.  Where have those days gone?!  And because i've lost contact with blogging and facebook, i don't even think about things that are worth blogging.  I used to think "oh, i can write an entry on this, another entry on that..." Well, not anymore!

If I have to think about what i want to write these days, it would be all the BS that i get from work.  For example, those snobbish, arrogant, disrespectful, useless doctors, or those useless, selfish, ass-kissing charge nurses.  This is what my mind has been filled with.  Of course there are also many many sad stories that i would rather just forget, or else i would not be able to work where i work now...  

And if i have to think about what fun i've had, it would be all the dinner, drinking, and poker parties that we've had.  I have discovered why alcohol can make one person high, and I now can drink one glass of wine without getting a headache.

So that's what's been happening with my life.  If ming were to blog about his past few months, it would probably be about the same as this, except he also did a lot of moving furnitures around in the house and that's all.  What a waste of summer, hahaha...

今天起來上班前有早餐吃（蛋餅歐），感覺真好。 一整天雖然只吃一餐早餐，但就很有精神。我說過當一個老公會早上起來煮早餐給老婆吃就代表他是愛她的  （or he has done something wrong, hahaha...)。

if you have time, go see the photos from our trip, Amsterdam-Brussels-London.

I heart europe~

Just got back from our trip to Amsterdam-Brussels-London.  What a great experience!  Amsterdam was such an interesting city, and I would go back again if I get the chance.  London was more like a revisit, since I was there about 6 years ago.  It is just awesome to see any cities in Europe.  They are so full of history and culture everywhere, something that N. America does not have.  The Dutch are such a relaxed population, they stroll when they walk, and they are always enjoying life.  London has some really handsome men.  I just love their subway system.  Almost wanted to buy a poster of their "underground tube" system.  The Europeans are very environmentally conscious, they do not have AC everywhere.  The days when we were there, it was so hot and what do N. Americans do when it gets hot?  Go hide in the malls or office buildings.  Well, that won't work in Europe, coz many stores do not have AC, or the ones that do, the AC is barely noticeable.  Globalization by the MacDonald's are the only restaurants that do have AC.  Of course, the americans cannot live in agony.  Ming would probably have an easier time in Taiwan than in Europe during hot days, coz at least there's AC everywhere in Taipei.  But Taipei is definitely still hotter than Europe.  What else can I say about European cities?  oh yeah, they are freaking expensive.  Anyways, I am going to upload the photos somewhere... Still haven't decided where to put up the photos.  Maybe Flickr?
