Sooo I'm finally here, in the boring E-town!
My plane was overbooked so instead of taking the direct flight to Edmonton, I volunteered to take the next flight to Toronto to transfer to Edmonton. I didn't want to do that at first because I wasn't feeling all that well, but the $200 voucher they offered was very attractive. Knowing that I will be taking the plane often enough in the near future, I decided to their offer. The plane was scheduled to arrive in Edmonton at 4:30pm, so I figured there's still an hour before dinner is served at the Wan's residence. But of course, the flight was delayed...
After getting off the plane, we went straight to Calvin and Karen's for dinner. Jadon and Nolan were such cuties! Hopefully we get to chill again before I head back to Montreal. Darn, I was too sick to remember to take any photos.
I went to bed right away after getting home, actually stayed in bed for 36 hours until Thursday morning! Thursday morning... interview time! Before the interview, LP asked if I was nervous, maybe I seemed nervous? I wasn't nervous at at all. It wasn't like a job interview or anything. We were basically just chatting with one of his professors about vicarage (intern) in August. We talked about my joys and concerns and what kind of a church LP and I preferred to intern at. Even though we do have our preferences (a Chinese church close to Montreal would be perfect), but of course, just because that's what we prefer, it doesn't mean that's what God prefers. There's a whole committee who, through much prayers, decides on where we will be placed. We are so anxious to know where we will be going! May 2 is when we will know. I can't wait!
I've been here for a whole week now, but not much wedding planning went on. People keep telling me... it's only 3 months away. I don't know why I'm not panicking yet! I'd rather be panicking than not so that I can actually get some planning done. The most important thing right now is to design our invitations. Well... let me tell you, we're far from finalizing a designing. Not good...
So far, my favorite meal was at a Malaysian restaurant. It's been so long I've had Malaysian food! Most of the time I get cramps when I get spicy food, but this time, I didn't care, I went all out! Luckily, I didn't get cramps after the meal. My favorite was nasi lemark (combination plate). Although the satay and ice kachang (shaved ice) were nothing like the real Malaysian style, I still enjoyed them. Can't wait to get some real Malaysian food this summer!
Isaac's family was very welcoming, they invited LP and I over for dinner on Sunday. It was great seeing their family again after the summer. I had the opportunity to learn a few dishes from auntie Lily while we were there.
Oh and they had these "things" in their living room which I'm sure Pastor Chan would find amusing! So I took a few photos for him, maybe he'd get a set for his living room haha.
Gotta sign off now, we will head to Andy and Lidia's place for dinner soon. Haven't seen them for the longest time. I've known Andy since I was young, we never kept in touched though because I was still very young when he left Montreal. I've served with Lidia for a year or two when the South Shore church was first planted. Can't wait to do some catching up with them later.
Right... before I sign off... I gotta show up photos of LP's bookshelves... they're not stacked with theology books, but rather... of Japanese comics!
