Hey y'all. It's been a while since i last blog. Been busy as usual. In between watching the olympics, work n all. oh left hand is healing nicely(that u guys for keeping me in prayer n thought), almost as good as new, i guess. Still little tender when i touch it. Stitches r out, usually just put on a band aid at work, not as bad if i smack it or rub it against anything by accident. Still red, n have a nice big scar to show for it now.

Everyone watch the opening ceremony for olympics btw? Sad to say i didnt catch it, as i had to go to work early n was really tired, couldnt get up to watch it. So 'malu', canada such a big nation n we entered like 300+ atheletes, we only managed to get like 7 medals in the past week or days. shesh, US has like 65 medals!! geez!

Aunt n family just came down this past sat for a visit. Their staying for the week at our basement. Gonna cook a nice gourmet meal for them n another aunts family on tues nite. Hopefull everything turns out good. Mite take some pics, donno yet, we'll c. Anyways thats all for now.

*Warning slightly gruesome graphic text below.

Ouch, so in pain right now! Stupid freak accident!




Sheesh! Stupid me, still cant believe i did that! Went to work on wed, was portioning some veal chops, took of a chunk of flesh by accident where my pinkie connects to my hand. Blood actually flew from my hand n hit me on my chin n chef jacket. Anywayz, sous chef drove me to hospital. Ended up with 4 stitches. He was telling me not to worry bout it, accidents happen to the best of us( He was reminding me bout all the accidents he had at work, trying to make me feel better). Anyways...pls pray for me, to recover quick n for the pain to stop. As it stands im going back to work tomorrow, hope it gets better by tonight. Yeap, really need your prayers right now. Thank God for His protection, could have easily been a lot more worse.

HAPPY CANADA'S Day
!!!

Yea i know its late! But, yes my excuse again is that i've been busy wif work... Even tho i had the day off on Canada's day, i was out pretty much the whole day. Well most of it anyways. Woke up pretty late cuz i havent been getting enough sleep these days. Spend the day with sis n hubby. So, we were in the car trying to decide what on earth we were gonna do, least the thing that didnt cost too much.^_^ So anyways we were feeling hungry, so we ended up going for lunch 1st. But of course by then after lunch it was pretty late to go somewhere where u had to pay to get in, so it didnt really make sense to go. So we ended up dropping by home for a change of clothes, then it was off to go visit my little cuz. We went to this little water park close by, where we had a water gun fight, which soon involved all the kids in the area...haha.. Anyways it was fun, got really wet, was good to just let loose i guess. Sun was shinning, so took of my shirt n dried off pretty quick. Didnt get to much of a tan tho, wasnt that sunny. Then came home thinking to watch the season's finale of Hell's Kitchen after dinner, turns out it was the 2nd last episode not the last...shesh! So didnt get a chance to go watch fireworks.

Moving on, sry for not replying all u guys msgs earlier, will try to reply once im done this post. Euro 08 happened really fast, been meaning to blog bout it but of course b4 i knew it, its all over! Shesh... and of course everyone knows off the outcome already. Geez, who would have thought that spain would take it home ehh? Yea n who would have thought russia would have even made it to the semis?! Honestly was rooting for the Oranjes! They had a really good start. oh well, least managed to catch a few matches on my days off.

Hup Oranje!

So finally yet again after a long time, i finally decided its time for another post. Been really really really busy n stressed out w/ work as of late, i.e the past month or so...so much in fact that i had many diff ppl comment on how much weight i've lost n how thin i look. At least the bottom line is i know i have to trust God to c me thru in the end. I know i dont always feel Him there but in my heart i know he's always there for me. Even tho i let Him down constantly. One of the reason being is that its our busy season right now but not the busiest months of full swing summer, so u can only imagine how bad its gonna b. I'm trying hard not to think bout. Mostly the problem is that we'r drastically short staff n/or have incompetent staff. So lots of the older staff w/ me starting to feel pissed off w/ the situation. Not to mention part of the reason y i'm feeling like that is cuz i'm feeling burned out from not having a real vacation since my last one in '03 n cant wait for my next one. All i can say is pls remember me in your prayers.

Anywayz moving on, weather's been up n down lately....mostly still a little chilly, with the exception of warm days in between like today. K lost my train of thoughts. Cant remember what else i wanted to blog bout. Anywayz anyone have relatives or frens in china? Hope they are ok. Really shocked n sad to hear that so many ppl died already cuz of the earthquakes..Dont know bout back there, but over here their covering in all over the news channel almost everyday...

Thats all for now, will leave u guys wif a few pics that i found on my comp i been meaning to put up...

So just a short one then, just changed my cbox. Was tired of the old one n decided it was time for a change, besides i like this one better as there is a link auto. placed on it for smilies. Updated my music playlist as well, added a few songs to it.

Oh yea also added a survey test,' How well do u know me?' Have sen ming to thank for that.

Oh n please put ya real name or least a nickname that i know who isit.

BLESSED EASTER

I know its kinda late but, yes yes as always i dont have the time or always forget to post on time. Oh yea, just so u guys know i added a music playlist on the top of my blog, it takes a while to load bout 2mins i think. I think its bcuz i added so many songs in it. Lolz. It was snowing today again?!?! Fyi for u non-canadians out there, its already spring here, tho it is kinda normal to c snow in spring, i figured since we had so much snow this past winter(in case u didnt know we had a record breaking amt of snow this total winter from like the 1900ish) so kinda figured that that was it. Well thank God it stopped.

Easter was really good. Was part of the production team this year. Was behind the scenes helping out w/ the multimedia. So good that i actually remember all the songs we sang n am still singing them off n on in my head still these days. Remembered parts of a conversation between Rach n i the other day, made me really think(worry a little-concern) bout some stuff.^_^

Anywayz spent a good part of the nite getting up my new music playlist up n running, so think im gonna go then. Oh yea b4 i forget, wanna holler at Shu Xian who i've not talk to for a while, who just dropped by my site. "u should visit me during winter time, its lots colder but u get to see snow!'^_^ All rite then i'm out.

So, been awhile again. Actually just recovered from being pretty sick. Thank God! What happen was, started out w/ having a flu, cough n a scratchy throat. Anyways, then last sunday nite, i started feeling really sick. Woke up in the ams n started throwing up n also had diarrhea. Yea it wasnt pretty, had to go twice b4 monday morning even came around. Anyways went to the doctor. He said i caught a stomach bug. Blood pressure was low. told me to drink lots of fluids. Yeap, but thank God im much better now. Had to call in sick to work. Felt like crap n am pretty sure i was contagious. Thank God im all good now tho.

Moving on, the biggest snowstorm ever in the history of canada just passed yday! See here for more details. Man shoveling snow, getting around, to n for work, anyways was crazy stupid! I mean it was so bad when i was coming home from work ppl were randomly leaving their cars in the middle of the roads, streets cuz it was so bad that they were stuck in the snow n couldnt move n finally gave up, turn of their engines, lock the car n walk home. (more so in the residential area) Anyways took a few pics of my hse the day after, where we shoveled all the snow to on that day n the day after. The snow was so high that we had difficulty to see properly while backing out of our driveway.








All that snow is just on the one side of my hse. Theres more on the other side, in my backyard on my deck. In the 1st pic all the snow that u c, in the summer time is where our grass is. Just to give u guys an idea of how much snow there was. I thought i almost had to spend the nite at work. We were actually joking around talking bout places or couches that we could crash on for the nite.^_^ Anyways thats all for now.
