Ahy~ life is never perfect...

Okee... if i really want to write a new blog, the following is all i could think of that's remotely worth mentioning, because my life is really not that intresting these days. So i have been helping ming out with the "handy man" jobs, washed a couple loads of laundry, cleaned up the laundry room and tidy up the messy shoes. But what i really want to talk about is ~WEEDS~ Imagine you have a square foot of grass and in this area, you have little bits of pieces of 'beansprot like creatures' that you need to carefully extract without pulling out the grass... that's what i did today. Not 1 square foot, but probably 50, and that's only 1/3 of the the whole backyard. This all started last summer, but we never paid any attention to it, until today i could no longer stand it and grabbed a tiny stool so i can sit closer to the ground and get those little bitches one by one. So i probably got about 1lb. of these little 'beansprot like creatures' today from this 1/3 of the yard. The rest of the yard is also full of these and i am tired just thinking about it... Whenever i'm pulling weeds, all i think is "i hate this, i don't want to spend my youthful years plucking weeds. Why the hell did we not get a condo in the first place? I feel that i hate every single house chores, like gardening (weed extracting the most), outdoor garbage cans (that includes geenbins and recylcles), and all the house manintenance business... i wish that i live in a condo. but then again i don't want to pay the condo fees. Ahy~ life is never perfect...

4 down, 1 (or maybe 3) more to go...

We finished out wedding marathon for the summer this past weekend. Every wedding is so different; each with its style and every single one of them was special in its own way. For example, we just had our very first "vegetarian" dinner and it was very unique. But afterwards I was sort of craving for some burgers, hahaha...

sweet Allen and Cindy

a very special dish.

a thought of food

I was thinking about this today... Is swiss cheese from Switzerland? Is french fries from France? Is black forrest cake from Black Forrest? Is 德國豬腳 from Germany? What else is there?

Wallace is a homeless

On my way home from work yesterday, there was this begger on the street, with a Timmy Ho's cup in his hand, going through every car that was stopped at the red light to beg for some money. I thought the guy looked like Rasheed Wallace. Hahaha... If you think about it, if Wallace lose his head band, the jersey, and the shoes, he actually does look like a homeless/begger, doesn't he?! Hahaha...

貼心的 'Thomas Jefferson'

Ok... 記上一次的 blog 後, 連我媽都說我不應該寫那種話 (well, she didn't actually say it, she just sort of hinted it), 所以我決定說一些ming 的好話. coz afterall, ming does do some good stuff once in a while. ~.^ ok ok... he is actually pretty good to me most of the time... for example, i worked the whole day on Thursday, after i came home and went into my room, i noticed something different about it but i couldn't quite point out what, coz i was just so tired after a 12 hour shift. So the next day, after i woke up, i realized that 'hey! my windows have blinds up!' I used to have just a layer of curtain on, which is very non-effective when it comes to blinding the sunlight. So every morning i would get waken up by the bright light shinning right in my eye. This trip to NYC, we stayed at a very nice hotel (it was actually a Hilton) and the room was completely dark in the morning because it had really thick curtains, and i had a great sleep that time. So i said to ming "i want this kinda curtains in my room too..." I guess he listened and he delievered my wish after we came home. What a 貼心的 move, ming. ^^

氣~

有時候跟ming講話會講得很氣, 講完了就很想跟人complain. 可是想想我真的沒什麼朋友, 因為真的沒人可吐氣. 不過有一大部分是我自己的原因, 因為我太懶了, 懶得找人. 所以很多時候就把這一把火給吞了下來. 有一些男朋友以外的朋友真的很重要. ><

shopping is fun~

Just came back from our NYC/Woodbury shopping trip. I came back with tons of goodies and a big hole in my wallet. I realize that i have a sickness, a "must have it, can't wait" sickness. Whenever i go shopping, if i see something i like, i feel like i must get it now, or else it will be gone later. Or i feel like i must have it because other ppl have it too. That is very bad of me. Therefore, every time we go on a "shopping tour" it's like a competition. If other ppl buy it, then i must buy some too. I mean, i am not like that all the time, but sometimes i feel that this sickness is part of the reason why i spend so much. I also think this sickness was caused by my childhood experience. When i was in school back in taiwan, i always had the best school bags, stationaries, and bento box. My classmates were envious of me and often praised of my belongings. This made me felt i had to keep up my "princess" status, i often had to buy new stuff to bring to school, and as time goes by, this habit got stuck with me. I know this is very bad of me, since i am not making that much money these days. But then again there's always ming, who spends more than i do and makes nothing right now. ~.^ (Sorry ming... i needed a twist to my blog).

let it rain~

Finally, it's raining! Hoohoo! It's been so dry in Toronto lately and because we have not water our lawn, it is looking kinda dead right now. I was so happy to see it rained this morning... so happy. Please save our lawn...

I haven't been writing my blogs for a while now. Ever since my good friend Lance's incident, I feel like i lost a reader, and really don't feel like writing anymore. But then i thought that i cannot just give up my blog site, i have to keep it up! Right....

Mr Huang's Convocation

Today was ming's convocation. We got to the place at 8am! Then the ceremony began at 10am. It was a cute little hall and the ceremoney went smoothly. The keynote speaker was very good, her speech and her dog are something that i will never forget in my life. Do you remember who was your keynote speaker during your convocation? I certainly don't.

It was a good day. Everyone was so proud of themselves and of their son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter/dad/mom/brother/sister/
husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend...ect.

I heard a boy in front of me said "so many teachers!~" Hahaha...

Congratulations, Mr. Huang. You will make a difference in our future generation's lives.

Hahaha, i'm an idiot

After how long of using this blog page? have i finally found out how to put a title line to my blogs. Hahaha...

Taiwan is such a mess right now. I don't know what to read or listen to anymore. The politicians are fighting against each other everyday instead of trying to do their real jobs, which is serving their people. Time and money are wasted when the news are reporting these useless childish plays. As the general voters, we do not wish to listen to all these craps. We only wish that good news are being told, good things about the country and good things about how as a nation, we are working together to improve everyone's lives. No more fightings please...

I can't believe that I actually finished reading another book! The last time i picked up a book and actually read from the beginning till the end was like 2 years ago (the Nanny Diary). This time, it's "a curious incident of the dog in night time" and it was a great book. As some of you might have heard of this book from ming's blog, it was me who actually started reading it before he did. I bought this book a long time ago, read about 1/3 of it, then i gave it to Connie as a "go away" gift when she left Toronto. I bet that she hasn't even started reading it. This book is very interesting and very easy to read as it is written from an autistic kid's point of view. I have dealt with autistic kids before and they really have their own set of rules and live in their own world. Some of them are very talented, just like the character in this book, he is amazing in math. The one that i've met was amazing in art/drawing, he used to play cartoon via video tapes, pause it, and copy the picture onto his paper. He would make it exactly the same as the picture and it really amazed me.
So during our Costco trip, i bought 3 more books, plus there's one more that ming had ordered online for me, let's see how many i can finish this summer, before my school starts. ;)

After $588 spent on tires at Costco this afternoon, we went into the warehouse to wait for the tire installation. Then the funniest scene happened. There must have been like over 40 men standing in front of the electronics section, each watching his own TV (coz there were too many of them), and guess what was on it, soccer. My goodness... The crowd even cheered so loud when the Brazil tream scored the final point of the game. What is it with the world cup...?

I have to apologize to my friends who got my 10+ forwarded emails tonight. I tried to clean up my hotmail account tonight, the account that i often leave the forwards the way they are. As of now i have 28 unread emails, better than the original 54 unread emails. But whoever got my forwards tonight, that means i thought of you and maybe thought of you more than once (coz u probably got more than 1 forward). Every time i click on a person's name, the person's face pop up in my head, and i often wonder how he/she is doing. So forwards is a good way of thinking of my friends. ^^

We went to a BEAUTIFUL wedding yesterday (maybe i should say the day before now coz it took me all night to finish this blog). The wedding went so smoothly and everything was just perfect. I give my hat off to the couple who spent so much time and work to put this together because they really did a good job. Luckily they had a lot of help from their families too and they are very fortunate that way. After attending this wedding, it makes me want to have one in North America so bad. The truth is, i basically grew up here and i am so accustomed to the traditions here and this is the type of dream wedding that i've always wanted. But then so many other factors will forbid me from doing this and i know that at the end we will go back to taiwan for our wedding. Is it possible to move this type of wedding back to taiwan? If that is possible then it will be the best solution...... so depressed right now.... one of my pms talks.

I heard that ming's parents and his uncle are going to make a visit to my parents this coming up Sunday. It is the 提親 luncheon i guess. I am getting very nervous about this, because i am not sure if both parties will remain judge, calm, and happy about this whole wedding thing. I hope it will turn out okay... Coz ming's and my happiness will rely heavily on this first official get together. I don't think that my mom is particular interested in this kinda social event, and i think i am very much like her in this case. We both think as long as we know, then it's all fine. Probably no need for an official talk. But i guess ming's want to show their sincerity. So let's pray everything will be fine. >.<

I could not believe my eyes when i was leaving work today, coz the clock read "7:17!!!" Holy, i honestly cannot recall the last time that i got to leave work before 7:20. I was so happy and everything was smooth on the DVP, until the stupid accident... I was listening to the traffic report, it said the accident is causing back up from Shappard to Finch (which is only one tiny block, and you can usually pass thru in 1 minute). So i thought, oh ok, only 1 block so it shouldn't be too bad. Turned out that one block costed me an extra 20min!!! Damn it... Finally one day that i got to leave work early, but ran into this kinda stupid accident. How does a car get set on fire anyways? Does the car just start burning while driving on the highway? Half of that car was in ashes shape, so rediculous.

I don't understand why sometimes ppl can be so rude. At the end of my shift yesterday, i paged the on-call doctor for something. And you know what she said to me?! "You know what, this kida thing should be dealt with during the day, at night it should be emergencies only. next time can you remember that?" I wanted to tell her that she can just shove it up her ass and do her damn job. But instead, i kept my cool and my all time "goodie goddie person" 水準 and just asked her to please do it, because ultimately it is for the patient. The truth is, it is the "doctor's" job to do the thing that i needed her to do. If her fellow doctors could just remember to do their job during the day, then i wouldn't have to page her at that time. plus, it was only 7pm, what was her problem, pms?

During my drive back from work yesterday, i saw this homeless guy on the side of a busy street. Some of you may not know that there are a lot of homeless ppl in T.O. Why did this particular one caught my attention? Well, actually all homeless catches my attention because i cannot believe the living conditions they are in and amazed by how they survive on the streets. But anyways, this particular one was sleeping on a one seated sofa, a bright red coloured, Victorian style like, very exaggerated, one of those with with a high back sofa. And there he was just residing there. So i wondered: why do homeless ppl sleep all the time? Because they have nothing else better to do? Then a scary thought came to my mind. The image of this homeless sleeping on a sofa frighteningly reminded me of myself! Take away my money, my place to live, my job, and my car, then I am just like a homeless. I also spend the majority of my day (if i'm not working or going out to shop) sleeping on a sofa! I can sleep for up to 14 hours a day!!! I am just like a homeless, only with a home!!! I wish that i could have taken a photo of that homeless, because it would have made a good photo. Maybe he was trying to make a statement, like "look at me, and then look at this glamorious couch. What an irony!"

Can you tell where I was pointing at? Too bad that I didn't get to go inside the store. That's okay, there's always next time. Paris is really not that far away.
