Exhausted

Pretty exhausted these days.

Basically I need to present some document. But to be able to write "something", I need to learn a system in a few days...which is almost impossible. I guess I'm getting old now, learning something new is ok, but be good at it and able to analyse it, is ultra difficult.

I try to put off but still, need to face it.

Finally I'm done now. I don't think I did a good job, though.

I guess my career is done soon, too.

More complains

I can stop myself from whining; however, I can't stop others from complaining.

For the first time in 9 years, I received my first formal "complains" from someone high above (I mean...from 2nd floor).

And I was pretty upset about how I deal with it. I feel like in the bottom of drain now.

No more complains

I had a bit "complain" that over the past months the lottery tickets that I bought for the group, seems to have "some" winning but the ones that I bought for myself, got nothing! Absolutely nothing! Not even a free ticket!

Now I'm going to stop whining.

Out of the blue, I got $68.50 from lotto 649!

THANKS!

Weekend

It's very sunny and nice weather this weekend.

Saturday, a very relaxing day. Time just flies...

Want to go to the States on Sunday but after seeing the lineup, we give up. It would be about an hour lineup and at that time I really want my Nexus pass.

We could go to Whiterock on the way back but I hesitate to walk under the strong UV. End up just walking around Richmond to "kill" some time before dinner. I bump into 苗僑偉 and his family outside "his" store. But I'm too shy to ask for a picture or autograph. I'm not a big fan of him but I do like to watch his TV series.

Had a bit of headache so I'm not able to make some cards. I feel bad that there is no production this week.

Again...

Differ by one number...again...
9 vs 10...

$56 vs $1500!!!

Oh well...

More cards...

Very busy with work lately. Multiple releases to deal with.

During weekend, I tried to bury myself into thoughts of designing cards. In that way I don't have room for other thoughts.

Wedding card:
Trying to use yellow as the main colour to match the wedding theme. Hopefully she likes it.


I like this stamp a lot. It says "Handmake from heart"!


Birthday card:
Inspired by the design in the local craft store. I use the same colour scheme (pink and brown) but different layout and paper source. The bunny is just too cute!



This one...hope it's fun!


It will go in the mail tomorrow...

What's the difference?

What's the difference between:
07 16 32 39 41 44 45
and
07 16 31 39 41 43 44

Answer:
The difference is
$109 and $10 MILLION!

The first set is the super 7 draw number from last Friday. The second set is the number on my husband's ticket. 32 vs 31, 44 45 vs 43 44...

We are so close, yet so far!!!

不速之客 The uninvited guest on Canada Day

It's a nice and hot day.

I'm about to have my breakfast and enjoy my Canada Day holiday...

And there they are, a troop of ants crawling on my kitchen counter top...

So I quickly grab a tissue paper...try to kill as many as possible...It's just brutal...

And Henry quickly pick up the bug spray to try blocking their entrance from the back door.

I don't know how many I have killed. I just remembered the whole box of tissue is gone...

After all, the suspect is identified: the spilling bottle of vanilla syrup, and the empty can of pineapple chunk placed near the door, which is waiting to be taken out to recycle. The syrup bottle was there for months already. I guess the pineapple can smells too good?

Although the situation seems to be under controlled, it's time to clean up.

Everything located on the counter top needs to be cleaned. And anything that can be removed, goes to garbage, including a few pieces of bread. We just can't be certain whether the ant has tasted those bread before us...

After 3 hours...the counter top is so clean and tidy. And we are sweating, exhausted, and starving...

Today I still see a few ants outside. But none inside the house. Sigh...hopefully they just go away after a while. Or I should still buy some special spray...

2nd Anniversary

Time really flies!

This year we decided to take a day off and took the train tour to Whistler. We have bumped into a TV crew on board. Perhaps we will be on TV show? Urban Rush on Channel 4.
I emailed them and asked about the show time. The air time would be Aug 1st. I'll definitely stay in front of the TV that day!

Pictures here:
2nd Anniversary

Bunny and Puppy

I have been to the Minoru Chapel quite a few times to attend my friends wedding. In fact, the Minoru Park also seems to be a popular residence for bunny.

Although I wasn't a big fan of pet, seeing my friend's cute and so well behaved dog, I had a split second to think about keeping a pet.

Getting hitched

The wedding season starts particularly early this year. The first wedding I attended was in mid-May. In fact, I have attended 2 weddings in May, 1 in June already. And there are five more coming, all in August! August must be a very good month to get hitched. Out of the 5 invitations, 4 of them are actually on the same date! I can only choose to attend either the banquet or the ceremony.

The first May wedding took place in a very popular wedding venue: Minoru Chapel.





Whereas the other wedding took place in a hotel ballroom.
Very pretty decor but of course, I love the dessert buffet the most! haha :D
And it's very nice to meet with some old friends too.







The 3rd wedding I attend this year. Minoru Chapel as well.
It's a long day for the wedding couple and me too! I was helping out in the wedding and participate in the door game.



And yeah..the ladies have gone quite "wild" that night. Everybody has fun!

Looking forward to the upcoming 5 weddings in August!

Happy Birthday Bunny!

This is one of my favourite creations. Hm...having a cup cake would be nice...
