Friday Morning Radom Updates

A typical morning in my room working...
Sipping my cup of tea...
Loving the view outside my window...

I want to go ice fishing!

I'm finally back in work mode. This past week was pretty productive... finished a couple more pages for my new business website. Still many more samples to make, lots of pictures to take and many more web pages to make.

Air Canada seat sale is finally here! I'll most likely be leaving to Edmonton on the 26th and coming back on the 11th of March. I haven't booked my tickets yet, will wait a bit just in case there are some changes. I didn't want to be gone for two weeks because I know I won't be as productive with work. But on the other hand, I need to set aside these two weeks for wedding planning! Every time I want to design our invitations, there always seems to be something that's more important at the moment. So hopefully without any distractions and things I need to take care of at home, I will be able to come up with some designs and make some other important decisions.

Since I am not serving on any church committee this year, I decided to join Chinese Choir full time. There aren't many more months/weeks left until I get married, but I will definitely treasure and enjoy the rest of my days here. Haha, yea... people always say that I make it seem like I will die soon...

Well on a happier note... Happy Chinese New Year! Another year gone by. The year of the rat... Billy's a rat (opps, I didn't mean it that way...). His birthday just past but he's only 23 'cause his birthday is at the end of the rat year, kinda sucks for him. Well I hope he recovers from his basketball injury soon!

We don't have any family traditions for Chinese New Years. Dad's never here for it anyways. He always makes sure he spends it with grandma in Malaysia, and of course he brings back lots of "lai si" for us. The only tradition we have is dim sum with the Zion Fellowship. Every Chinese New Year, they would all take a day off work and go to dim sum together.

Wedding planning... like I said, none yet. But I finally got the rest of our save-the-date magnets done! Just have to give them out, or mail them out. Btw, save-the-dates (magnets or cards) are very common. They allow guests, especially out-of-town guests, to know when the wedding is so that they can make travel arrangements and take days of work if necessary. And I think that especially at MCAC, with so many weddings, anniversaries, events and activities throughout the year, you need them! People started asking when our wedding is months/year ago so that they can reserve the date for us. How sweet of them! But then... there are some people who ask us as if they know for sure they will be invited =P Haha! What to do with these people?!

Today will be a busy day. I will work a bit, probably mop the floor in my room (yea...). I'll be having lunch with Gwendonlin (with Mom & Pastor Chan) before her family takes off to Vancouver for a new beginning. Then off to meet a client in downtown. Dinner will be HOT POT (yay!) with the Bethanies at 6pm in the gym at church. And then I'll be going up to the Fisher Hall (how convenient) for fellowship at 7:45pm. Tonight's fellowship starts later than usual because it is the annual Chinese New Year Friday night joint fellowship. I'll be exhausted by the end of the night.

Saturday is finally here tomorrow. I better start getting some work done now so that I can go out. I've been pretty hard working this past week, so I NEED to get out tomorrow.
