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 ...

HEY YA!                                Mai's Graduation Portrait May 2016 //LATE POST //SHOULD HAVE POSTED ON FRIDAY NIGHT //BUT I WAS TOO LAZY OOPS Here's a photo of Vicky and myself, taken after my grad convocation October 1st, 2016 January 20th, 2017 Here comes the winter graduation convocation of  Class of 2017.  I wish I was with YOU! Congrats to all graduates!!  And yeah!! A big congratulation shout out to my besties Vicky, Sam, Tiffany and Iris! September 30th, 2016 How time flew in this year!  This is my bestie Vicky, AKA my grocery shopping buddy haha! :) We always encourage each other during the assignments/exams periods. LOL! We become close friends quite fast I think coz we have such many similar things. I still remember the accounting class we took together, that's how we met. I still remember we're always ...

FIRST OF ALL, SUCH A NORMAL MONDAY TODAY! ☀ I met up with Jeff in a little lovely/"good vibes' feeling" local cafe called [La Finca] today before work and we chatted for a while. Then I went to work as usual.   17:00                                                                              Lol my colleagues are always nice and easy to talk with.  And they are always asking weird/ funny questions to me. Maybe I look like I know a lot? HAHA, kidding! One of them asked how and what I did to maintain my hairs straight. And I said "Huh? I didn't do anything on it, just normally wash it and blow dry it!" I was feeling strange when I got asked by a guy about the hair care. Then I told him, you can just be not chopping your hairs for a while, and when it grows longer and it will jus...

I have just finished watching  Zoella's Vlog   titled "New year, new challenges" at about 2ish am, I got related when she tried to speak out her feelings and all of her anxiety things.  And yeah, so do I. It gets weird when you were sticking to doing one thing constantly for a while, then you stopped doing it. And after another while, you are getting back to it again. I don't know if it makes sense. For example, like the situation when I was in school, I could get very stressful from school and wanna get rid of it. But then when I have finished the whole semester and am on my holidays, I feel like the days are passing by so slowly and meaninglessly and kind of wanna go back to school to get busy. And after the holidays and going back to school, those feelings of wanna get away from school are coming back again from the school load and I get worried about everything again.  Is that anxiety/concern just being weird?  Haha, nope! It's not! It's just nor...

Just like as usual, I chatted with my friends in HFX on social media. And we realized how time flew so quickly in 2016, we should have done lots of things together, should've eaten some good food or taken great pictures, or even just chilled and laughed so bad together. SADLY, WE DIDNT DO THAT ALL! Sunrise at Halifax Airport @5:30AM, June 2016 The moment when they told me "I wish you were here!", I almost cried out! ToT Yes I do wish I could go back at the end of this month to celebrate the graduation ceremony with them, but sadly I couldn't because I gotta work! I wish I could go through every minute of the graduation meeting and the celebrations with them. Photo taken at the last night of Jessie staying in HFX There are still some things I haven't done before I left.  :( I wish I could stay longer. I miss Halifax so much! <3 #iloveeastcoast But I didn't regret the choice I made. Bye for now! xx  :)

During the last week of 2016, I spent such a BEST time with my friends who came visit me in Montreal from different cities in Canada, including Chinney from Toronto, Karen from London Ontario, Sam, Simon and Daniel from Halifax(my 2nd home haha), they drove overnight for 12 hours non-stop OMG!😱😭 I showed them around the city: we visited some famous places in MTL such as some churches and McGill University, and had some delicious food. And we counted down 2017 together at Vieux-Port and watched some fireworks! Of course we took tons of selfies. 👻 #FriendshipGoals And oh yes I forgot to mention, I stayed at Auntie Miao's house for three days during Christmas, very chilled and relaxing.🎄🎅 2016 has been such a great year💕, including many happiness and exciting events, such as my GRADUATION, farewell with society friends, trip to Inner Mongolia with my parents, leaving Halifax( sad for the leaving but happy for all of the memories everyone provided me)...
