HELLOMAVIE

Hello there! Hasn't been here for quite a long while. It's currently around 1:45 am and I don't feel sleepy yet, so I decide to write down something that has been going through my mind lately. Oh, first of all, hello 2020. And it is already March, I feel like I have been through so much already, and that's correct... I have been feeling anxious, worried and self-doubted quite often for the past few weeks.  A lot of things happened all within the same month and I still didn't believe that they actually happened. I had such high hope and was so excited about my vacation which was planned like 3 months ago, but due to the virus outbreak, a lot of my travel plans have been cancelled. After a super long-delayed and stressful journey flying back to Canada, I found out that I have been laid off from my work due to the workload shortage, so with that being said, oh I gotta restart everything and find a job. And yet, and I still couldn't mentally believe this happen...

Hi, and long time no blog. Can't believe it's already April, I just feel like we just pasted the new year countdown yesterday. Spring has sprung, and the sun comes out. It rained today tho,, ughhh~ Life hasn't been ease (which is great in a way that keeps us moving at least). And I have recently started to criticize myself if I have made a good decision. It's ALWAYS good to reflect yourself once in a while that what's doing well and what's not. I found myself so courageous to move city alone and settle in a new environment, while I am asking myself if this is actually what I enjoy doing, and my answer is undetermined. Life goes on, and follow what your mind leads you to. We shall soon find out. Until next time. Bye!

Hello there!😀 I haven't updated here for two months😐, life has been busy to the next level, compared to that I mentioned last time.📚📝 I am taking French immersion now and yeah that runs every Mondays to Fridays. That really does bring back memories in HFX, where I met the best and kindest people in my life, so far.💙 Lately, Montreal's weather has been really hot like 28'celcius🔥, yeah I got tanned without fail in just one afternoon exposing my arms under the sun...lol,, that really annoys me, haha you know the Asian thing!😂 Anyway, gotta go! Until then, I will see ya next time! Bye for now! xx :)

I am typing this on a Sunday evening 10:30ish p.m. By the way, it is such a good day today around 15 degrees Celsius. This week has been the longest working week so far this year, by saying longest I don't mean to complain anything but would like to share some thoughts that have come across my head this week. I worked three double shifts and plus three regular shifts this week which were a lot, but I am quite liking it as it keeps me busy (I probably have mentioned this way too often) and productive. On Monday evening we had a serious/spiritual group meeting about teamwork which made me kind of impressed by the way how our director Annie represented, she has used boomerang as an example to dedicate that our actual life could not be like a boomerang that gives us a chance to  go back to the past to change anything to be the way we would like it to be. The following four days passed by per usual. But what impressed me is that when your work has been...

Staring at the calendar on my phone brings me a realization that I graduated half a year ago legit! WOW!✌ After talking to Graham yesterday, I found myself as such a conflict mixture:"when you are at school, you wanna graduate soon and be free" VS "after you graduate, you miss campus life and want to go back to school". 😅 Yeah, that's me!  Honestly, I miss Halifax so so much! This is the thing that I have never thought of until I really had to leave. I will never forget how comfortable the campus life at SMU was. Maybe I have complained several times of how many assignments or presentations that were going to due at the same day, but when I look back to it now, I actually think I was quite enjoying doing so at the moment, especially for the group presentations/projects, I was thankful that all my group members were being so nice and helpful to me, should be mentioned my group members of my MGMT4489 course, they really did help me a lot and I think ...

I just realized I haven't been blogging for one month as days passed as normal and I didn't find something interesting to blog. But today is the day that I think I should have a quick update. This whole February I has been busy working as much as I could. I picked up the most days to go to work although it is not required as I'm just currently working part-time now. But I chose to work mostly as I could because I just would like to keep myself busy and full. Last week was the spring/reading week of those universities in Canada, my friend Karen from Halifax came visit me in Montreal with some of her friends. We had Korean food together, watched Fifty Shades Darker at the cinema and chatted a lot as we did in the past when I was still in Halifax. I haven't seen her since my graduation ceremony in October last year, wow it's literally half a year ago. I am glad that although we live apart we still make efforts to meet each other, or just keep contacting ...

Voila today is the day of the biggest festival(Spring Festival) in China, the lunar Chinese New Year.  Oh yeah it has been the fourth year that I haven't spent this traditional reunion day with my family since I've been studying abroad and living here in Canada. Empire Building, NYC December 2014 Feeling so blessed and thankful that when I woke up this morning around 6:50ish am, I received lots of text messages from my family and friends, and even some were from my old school friends in primary/middle school. Although we haven't hung out a lot since graduation and we didn't see each other very often although we're still living in the same city when I was in Canton, no matter what but we still keep in contacts, which is great and that it is the way how our friendship lasts! Got a phone call from my bff Karen around an hour ago, and her roommate Ivy(my previous classmate as well) told me she missed our trip in Huizhou very much, I remembered that happened ...
