Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween everyone..! i hope everyone is out there having fun. This year.. is alot more exciting for us .. because we are already in our new location for a good 2 years now.. so kinda established on Main Street.
We didn’t see alot of kids coming in today .. for treats.. but that’s alright.. ! we donch really get alot. It had been a busy day at the store though. But i guess we are most excited.. because out lil’ brat gets to go for her very first Halloween. Previously, we felt that she was too young to do it and the weather was way too cold then. But this year.. we already booked Keegan for helping out, so that was really good.
The store is quiet at the moment.. i guess it is supper time.. but i still see a few children out there.

Some Ppl Just Donch Change
Was doing groceries this afternoon, when we met PB’s oldest friend.. but not the bestest friend for your info. And after talking to him for less than 5mins.. OMG..!! i realized it’s no point chatting with this person.
7 yrs ago, when i first met him, he was the same way.. obnoxious, arrogant, rude and so full of himself..! The kinda fella .. that must always be right..!! Pity he isn’t in the sales line though.. if he is.. he’ll prolly do better than he is now. A person who can never keep a relationship for more than a couple of years.. and can only impress young gals… well. it’s just very sad. And he doesn’t know how pathetic he actually is..! now that’s the best part… of most obnoxious and arrogant personality. They have such big inferiority complex.. they can’t see beyong their big head… muahahhahaa!!! pity..! but ppl donch change..not for a million years. I wonder why i even bothered to stop and chat.
Grey Pine
Touted as The best novel you haven’t read, so I took a look at what T. Lloyd Winestsky is all about. Author grew up in Los Angeles and taught English, Spanish and ESL to people of all ages. Surviving a stroke, and brain aneurysm, he retired from teaching and began writing fiction. And Grey Pine is his second novel but first to be published.
Grey Pine is all about Philip Stark, who reminds me of a once upon a time, very smart & witty man but because of his personal issues, is mostly grouchy. With his health deteriorating , and his relationships suffering because of an unreliable girlfriend, it sure looks like one bumpy ride for the near future. And an alcoholic father and some troublesome neighbour, I almost already feel bad for him. Set in the 80s, here you find an account of post-Vietnam America, that relates social ills that we might not be even familiar with in this very present day. Youth suicide, depression, racial tension, alcoholism and the depression of a war. How will Philip find a way to hold on to his sanity and strength ..?? and move past all the obstacles created by the nature of forces.
Based on real events, about one man’s struggle to survive the chaos in life and a very troubled mind. I am sure alot of us can related to it. Not really heavy reading, but for sure an interesting read, and unlike the girlie stuff that I am used to, it is well written and something that I can get into, a novel that will set my brain juice working.
How Genuine Are People..?
We were on our way to Grammie’s today.. and had dropped into Sobeys .. to get some ginger for my liver. The brat and I didn’t get outta the car because it was faster if PB were to go in and out .. for we were already running quite late going to Grammie’s. So here we are parked next to another car.. and then i noticed someone that PB & I know.. for along time… well .. since coming to Canada. And he didn’t even acknowledge me at all.. and pretended not to see us. Strange as it is.. i’ve noticed that some ppl here .. only will call upon you .. or acknowledge you .. if they need your help… and once they get a better job.. or get married .. they become a totally different person.
I know of ppl that we’ve helped along the way.. and a regular customer of ours.. who left for the west.. to look for a job. .had asked PB if he could get a good computer from PB .. and pay by installment… on a personal basis.. because his wife and kids are here . .in Y-Town.. and he wanted to keep in touch with them. And not even a month later.. his wife had come in to say .. that he was asking for a divorce..! and we haven’t seen him since nor heard from him. Sad eh..?? had we been so helpful .. to have helped him out.. we would have lost good money.. outta good faith.. in this very regular customer.. whom we see on a daily basis. We were very shocked too.. that he just left .. the wife.. and kids.. just like that. Shocking eh..?? especially when the youngest is only a few months old. It has actually made us wonder.. how many ppl are genuine here. Also we are on red alert .. everytime..someone walks in .. and asked if we can help them out.. abit. Have you encounter ppl like that in your life..?? or is it just us.. being the suckers..??

An Ironic Town
So what is going on with this wonderful town of mine..?? Well.. a few days ago, the RCMP had a major drug bust. Well hurray for the RCMP.. they did a great job..! but guess what..??
“RCMP believe the Ecstasy was destined for resale in Yarmouth and other parts of Southwestern Nova Scotia. This is one of the largest seizures of ecstasy this year in Nova Scotia. Last week RCMP in New Brunswick seized 28,000 tablets. “
These 3 arrested .. are currently out on bail. And what so ironic about this town..?? the woman who was breeding puppies.. illegally is still in jail!!!! So you see where this town’s priority is…?? It’s ok.. to traffic drugs.. ?? it’s ok.. to have illegal firearm..?? but no.. no.. puppies.. cannot be breed wrongly..!! Great town i’m in..! Woohoo..!!
Brampton Ontario
Known as the Flowertown of Canada, a title it earned due to the city’s large greenhouse industry, and won many international rose awards for nearly half a century is Brampton. I am very fond of Brampton because it brings back memories when I first landed in Canada, I stayed with my husband’s cousin who lived there. Well, i was only there for a few days, but I’ve been back to visit for quite a few now. There are great things happening in Brampton, for example, the Brampton Soccer Center, Earnscliffee Recreation Center on Eastbourne Drive for the folks living and working there.
They recently, celebrated the “Small Business Month In Brampton”, shows a rapidly expanding population in the already bustling city. Brampton is also the hub for local businesses. One can find all kinds of restaurant in Brampton and I know of a very popular greek restaurant there, that makes really good musaka. Of course one must not forget The Rose Theatre, that host broadways, musical and comedy shows. There are movie theaters and several hotels in that area, the Marriot was one of the hotels that I’ve stayed in during the several visits I was in Ontario.
Both my spouse’s cousins lived in Brampton, Ontario and buying their home there, was affordable and the neighbourhood they were in were pretty nice too. Nearby are bingo halls, nightclubs, art galleries and if i remember correctly, they even have several Swiss Chalets around for those nights were dinner cannot be cooked at home. Brampton, Ontario is a safe place as far as I can tell, for living in, entertaining and for working. I really don’t think that the cousins would be living there as long as they are if it wasn’t a good place to be in.
Puppy Seizure
I’m writing this because I know of someone who had bought a puppy from this place. And it came as a shock to me, because i didn’t know it was a puppy mill she bought it from. I doubt she knows herself then.
Digby County is not far from us.. just about a 45 mins drive. PB said it was animal cruelty .. to breed the puppies this way, because they donch give the dogs enough time to rest before they breed again. Strange as it is.. apparently, they donch have license to breed puppies here not like back home… where you need a license for that purpose.
“Gail Bailey, who also goes by Benoit, is accused of selling several breeds of dogs out of her vehicle in parking lots across Nova Scotia after first advertising them online as purebred with the proper vaccinations.”
PB said.. she wasn’t taking care of the puppies either.. their tummy were bloated, meaning there was worms in them. The friend we were talking about paid a good $900.00 for hers. Lots of money.. I’ll have to say.
Top USA Casino
There must be hundreds of online casinos out there.. maybe even thousands. I strongly suspect that folks from the western part plays their online game alot because of the cold weather. Like for us here in Canada, we have like 6 months of cold, so what do one do in the cold weather…?? Definitely not to fight the blizzards.. or the windchill.
Even my in-laws plays online games every night, afterall, there isn’t much to do in this small town of ours. Two older couple, you can’t be watching tv all night long and all day long right. So yes, to stimulate one’s mind, most folks here goes online to play games.

I so Suoaku!
I’m such a mountain turtle. For those who donch know, I just got my first ipod.. recently. Well.. it was a used one.. but still .. it was pretty cool.. i really liked it sleekness, but little did i know that the music that came outta my ipod was so crisp and clear. Unlike the old discman that I had been using for the last 7 yrs.. in Canada.. it was skippy because of the cds that i’ve had inside.. and some wouldn’t even work. It was so frustrating.
With my new ipod..! pinkie in color..!! it was amazing..!! i love it.. but you see i only listen to my ipod .. while i am in the shower.. or bathing. So my ipod ain’t gonna be over used at all. But still .. i’m such a mountain turtle… it was funny.

Dalai Lama begins visit to Canada
“The Dalai Lama, the exiled leader of Tibet’s Buddhists, arrived in Ottawa on Sunday at the start of a visit to Canada that will include a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.”
Would I have gone to the public talk in Toronto .. had i been residing in Toronto..?? I probably would, afterall, one doesn’t get to meet the Dalai Lama on a daily event. The 72 yrs old Buddhist monk is the 14th Dalai Lama addressed a crowd of 8,000 at the Ottawa Civic Center this afternoon.
The Chinese authorities have said they see any public meeting between the Dalai Lama and political leaders as interfering in China’s affair. Speculations that this meeting will hurt relationships between Canada.. and China. But Stephen Harper is still going ahead with the meet up. This makes me wonder.. is all Chinese.. so “pa tou” one..?? If i donch friend him.. no one else can..?? For this I applaud Canada.. because I know that in Singapore.. they would stay far, far away…like in the case of Malaysia’s ex- deputy prime minister Anwar. I was quite upset.. that the Singapore leaders .. didn’t do anything at all for Anwar.. when he was in need of a friends. Superficial eh..?? some ppl are..!

In Service
School just started here in September and like last year, students get to NOT go to school because of what they call “In-Service”. And we are not talking about just one or two school… we are talking about all the schools here in Y-Town.
They have so many “In-Service” I truly wonder how the kids in school are gonna catch up with learning all the syllabus. Back home in Asia.. we never ever .. have a day without school for the teachers to mark their books or go for a meeting…! they do it .. after school on their own time.. or they do it.. while they are in school. We used to joke that unless there is a fire in our school.. burning the whole building down, there will never be a day .. where there are no classes.
Teachers here are sure “Senang” ..! “In Service” so many times last year, donch know how many “In-Service” days they are gonna have this year.
Call Home For The Holidays
For those like me living in Canada but home is in Asia because we chose to follow our heart, you and I know that it is during the holidays that we miss home most. As an Asian.. even though I’ve been in Canada for a long time, we still make sure that we call home during the holidays or when someone in the family is having a birthday or a wedding. To us it is a form of respect to the family, so you can imagine, how much we need to buy phone card since we make so many calls, not only during the holidays but on many occasions.
If you are anything like me, you will know that we talk alot when we come home, therefore with a 3% cash back rebate program is definitely a welcome. For a great quality phone card and calling cards, to call both international and domestic long distance, Phone Cards Avenue provides the best quality and value to all their customers. With constant improved rates, I’m sure the husband wouldn’t get cranky about it.
No Tax Sale
For those out there who donch know.. how much goods and services tax . .or what they call here as HST… we have to pay here.. well.. you donch really wanna know.. because it’s at 14% ..!! yup… very high eh..?? It sure is..! Back home we now pay for 5%..?? and it’s usually absorbed by the shop keeper.. but here in Canada.. everything is taxable.. except some food items.
So if any stores were having a no tax sale.. you’ll know where we will all be. Just like today.. one of the big boys was having a no tax sale till the end of the day.. and guess what..?? the whole town was in the store.. i bet..! we too bought a few things to get ready for the brat’s winter. Boy..! it was crowded..! 14% savings.. ! we did stock up on stuff..!
Diabetic Strips
A few years ago, while doing my immigration check up, i learned that I had diabetes. Shocking as it was, i was told what to do, to check my sugar level, so we quickly went to buy diabetes testing strips from our friendly neighborhood pharmacy. Having to test your sugar level in your blood at least 3 times a day wasn’t cheap at all, but we all know how important it is, to know what kind of food that you are taking would cause your sugar to go up or down, so one really have no choice if you are a diabetic.
Along the years, I’ve learned that I’m not the only person who has diabetes, in fact alot of friends and family are also plague with this health problem. For those like me who have no insurance to cover for my test strips and my diabetes medication, I’m only too happy to find a wholesale company that offers 30% - 60% savings on all diabetic supplies. Now I am less stressful because of a more manageable health expense. Get your freestyle lite test strips from American Diabetes Wholesale for alot less and save big time.
