January 08 Then, Happy New Year! It's been a while since my latest post. I could not believe I only had two posts in 2008.
I like pictures more than words. A picture is worh a thousand words. My space is all pictures decorated by words. I should've sorted my 2008 pictures and maybe put some of them on.
2008 is a growing year for me, so to speak. I started my first professional job in CA, great experience to start up my career. Still remember that I could not sleep well the first week when I worked there, just was afraid of messing anything up and nobody could pointed out. That was hilarious; Now, even my boss told me that I did something wrong, I would respond him "Oh, really? Let me take a look at it." I know there is always a way to correct my mistake. I do not know if that's a positive change. What does that mean? Am I more confidence? Do I care less about my job? Maybe both...
My CGA goes extremely slow. I only did two courses last year. Can I finish it before 2012? That's a good question to ask myself.
Lee and me went to Chestmere with Myles and Mariya. That was a great trip. Myles drove all the way down there, and we lived in his sister, Lorraine's million dollar house. The first time I know what a "walk-out basement" look like. We BBQ on the balcony, under the sun, view the lake by the house. What a life. Lee and me canoed. That was a lot of fun. I'm thinking to buy a canoe one day, very good exercise Lorraine drove us to Calgary downtown, heritage park. Too bad we missed the zoo. Actually we went there, but could not find parking lot, sigh~ So many good memories there.
The most excited thing is I went back to China this fall. It's so nice to see my folks after two years. We had so much to talk, but the time just flies by. It's good to see them doing something after retired. Also my new born nephew, he was six months old in October. He is so cute and looks like a mini version of my brother (I just do not like to call him "cousin"). He's a quiet baby and only cried twice ever since he was born. I just love him. However, because of the limited time, I was not able to go to Shanghai. I missed a good chance to see my sister and friends there. Hopefully I can go down to the south next time.
In the new year, best wishes to the people I loved and loved me. Enjoy your live under tough economy, sky will not fall down, rainbow is on the way!!!
I do apologize to input this post in English, I'm at work.
April 15 艰难的更新开学整整一个月了。功课虽然不难，却很繁重。留作业和考试是我们老师的嗜好。 
说实话，当我们老师操一口“山东英语”说第一句话的时候，我真挺失望。怎么弄个移民给我们讲课呢？可别把我们给耽误了。
事实证明，虽然她的英语比不上当地白人，但教我们还是绰绰有余的。老师无论好不好，学校安排她做老师是有道理的。
抱着这种想法听课，心里舒坦很多。
班级里好多菲率宾人，词汇量大得都能当我的英语词库了。我总是奇怪那么一个小国怎么可能占据我们班级的半壁江山呢？问了才知道，原来英语是他们官方语言，孩子都是从幼儿园开始学英语，学校所有课程都是英语授课。这都得“归功于”菲率宾曾经是英国殖民地。哈哈，我能和英语是官方语言的人一起学习，说明中国人都是天才。
最近我好像阿Q了不少嘛。。。。。。 
近来是春天和冬季斗争时期，天气时常是早上艳阳高照，下午风雪交加。这里的冬季实在是太漫长了，比哈尔滨还要长。很多长周末我只能在家“包窝”
 。现在才明白北美为什么暑假有三个多月。这短暂的夏季的确应该好好珍惜。来张最近照片，就是在马路边上随便找的，后面就是这边的楼房

March 02 中国年过年了，过年啦！ 没出十五都还算过年，我的blog更新还不算太晚,嘿嘿~ 大年初一，唐人街有舞狮表演，虽然热闹场面远不及纽约和多伦多，但毕竟聊胜于无~ 在观众队伍中我看到了颇多当地人和非中国移民，有些人还身着唐装。其实很多人对中国文化都很感兴趣。中国过年的热闹场面是很多洋人羡慕的~ 唐人街一隅，虽然是冬天，但阳光还是很厉害的 唐人街两侧都挂起了传统中国灯笼 其实早期移民北美的以香港人居多，在洋人眼中，他们代表“中国”。由于国内文化的封锁，很多香港人过年的习惯我今天才得以知晓~大年初一早晨，各商家都把店铺整理一新，在门前挂上蔬菜，红包和鞭炮，迎接舞狮队伍~ 瞧，狮子来了，晃晃悠悠的先进店“耍”一圈~ 出来之后开始“吃”门口蔬菜~ 菜饱之后继续耍，这个狮子是两个人配合的，蛮不错的~ 店主放鞭炮，舞狮达到了高潮，中国人讲究轰隆震天响的鞭炮能带来一年的好运，小狮子也特别配合，上窜下跳，去取红包，不时还摇摇尾巴，以示兴奋吧~ 佳佳给大家拜年了，希望大家新年里心想事成，身体健康！ |
