Christmas cards that brag


Recently.. a little bit before the holiday I met a friend of my father's.. and man I have never seen dad so excited to see an old friend. After meeting said 'uncle' I found he was a pretty cool guy too. A real cool dad from hearing how he dealth with the disobeying son. HIs wife however could not stop pushing her children up there and bragging about how wonderful and successful her two kids were. Never have I been so grateful that my grades were not bad... or I would have felt soooo small... the woman just wouldn't stop.

In any case we got a Christmas card from them. Very sweet no? oh yes there is a catch.. there was an 'updates' section in the Christmas card which told the 'family news' of the year... all the successes of the family and how the wife just got promoted. ohhh yes you are completely right when i instantly thought "this must be the wife's idea.. she must have insisted".

In retrospect it wasn't a bad idea tho. In our busy lives it is sometimes hard to keep up with some old friend and keep them up to date with our own business. So I guess here's a little update for you guys on my life too :)


For those of you who dont know, my dad's been back a year (yay!!). It's been pretty sweet having dad around :) he cooks, cleans.. only bad thing was probably i didn't get to use the car as much but that was okay! mom was a lot happier too (understandably).

Ahhhh... but all party's must end sometime... well he got a few interviews in Calgary so he just left this Friday to check them out. Life seems..... a lot quieter suddenly.. hmm.. i suppose it's not as fun.. well i dont hope he returns soon but im much happier that he's in Calgary and not in HK.... he can come back home SOOOO much more often now :] or even I could go see him!

Then there is the question of "well what if he does stay there?".. well mom is thinking of maybe going there too..? yes that's right.. me alone? in Toronto???? I guess I have to.. must finish.. pharmacy degree..... and become.. licensed!!

Ahh yes, if you dont' know yet.. NOW YOU DO!!! IM GOING TO BE A PHARMACIST!! YEAY!!!!

that's right future doctors.. refer all patients to meeee!!! hehe


annnnnddd.. i suppose that's all the updating i can take for one blog :) i'll keep y'all posted about the calgary/dad/job deal
