Celebrating my 7th Canada Day

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

Canada celebrated its 140 yrs today. Boy.. it’s such a boring day..!!! very unlike what i am used to in Singapore. But given that Canada is so huge.. i guess small towns like ours.. get forgotten in the celebration eh..?? not so important i guess…??

There is some kinda celebration but not a huge scale one.. and it’s always the same old thing. Starting from pancake breakfast.. and then talk from the mayor.. ya-da-ya-da-ya-da..! and i think by noon.. it ends.

Definitely no march pass.. no fireworks.. no stadium to go to.. no community dances.. no spectacular formation. No special television program.. ! Yup.. quite sad..! one more reason why i miss home.

Demanding She Is

We didn’t go Grammie’s house last week.. because PB and Chloe started to come down with a cold. So we all stayed home.. just in case .. so we donch pass anything to Grammie and Grampie.. because this is the time.. whereby they are the most busiest.

From yesterday.. the brat had been going non-stop.. about going to Grammie’s house.. and bring her soup to eat at Grammie’s. Today.. she kept saying.. she wanted to go Grammie’s house.. and didn’t wanna go to the store.. she would rather go Grammie’s house.

She was very excited.. and knew exactly which road to turn after the highway.. to reach her Grammie’s house. And as per usual.. she had a ball.

Remembering a Princess

I donch know if the Asian gets this immediately .. but we’ve been getting Diana’s concert all over the tv station .. the whole day..!!

I hear it was the princes who planned the concert to honor the memory of their mother. Touching..! And i heard the concert was a blast. I didn’t really see everything.. i was at my MIL’s house.. and caught glimpses of the concert.

For those of you .. who really liked Diana.. like i did.. i was at work.. when i heard about her car accident.. and i thought someone was playing a very bad joke on me.. ! and when i saw the news broadcasting. .on CNN news.. that was when it hit me hard.. that she was really gone. Till today.. i still cannot believe that she is gone.. just like that.. and donch know the real reason to her death. It is such a sad, sad thing.. because with her death.. comes memories of her very, elaborate wedding.. which i can still vividly remembered .. how many of us.. wanted to be in her shoes..?? But then of course we saw some really trying times she had to go thru’ .. and then we realized.. she ain’t having it easy either.
