Every one should have some luck in 2020

Feb. 14, 2020

Introduction


I like to write a short research talk about how to reach out to other people. And also I like to write my case study how I apply it to myself.

My communities 


I went to Crystal mall shopping and then I purchased Chinese fortune baboon, and then I put them on my office table.

My ex-roommate left and went back to Victoria island to work. She gave me some used scarf, and I took picture with my own haircut. I hacked a haircut in less than 10 minutes. I took a selfie in the office as well.


I spent less than four Canadian dollars to get the plant in Chinese new year. I wish the best luck for the place I work and things I do in 2020.


I moved to the table near the elevator and also window more than one year ago. I was so happy to move away from the center of the office. I think that it is such great for my plants, better lighting and sunshine!

I cut my own hair again. This time my coworkers told me that it is not even, but it may be a special style.

I made the day special to memorize my ex-roommate. She moved away from Vancouver, and I still remembered how a 31 year old work hard with more than five places, with over $18,000 student loan. Compared to her, I am lucky to have a stable job and with stable income. I never need to worry about pay checks.

Being frugal

Nov. 6, 2019

Introduction


It is hard for me to tell my friend that I am being a frugal person. So I decide to write a blog to tell my thought process.

Going to Paris


I got contacted by my friend, she told me that she planned to go to Paris thanksgiving holiday. Her daughter changed her mind. So she will go alone, and if I purchase the ticket, then I do not need to pay for hotel and food.

I did notice that I have to say so many nos to my sisters and my brother. I have to say so many nos to friends since I decide to be frugal.

I think that I have to learn how to win respect from my siblings and friends.

A new immigrant story

May 15, 2019

Introduction


It is the day my nephew landed in Canada as a new immigrant in Canada. He took the air Canada flight from Shanghai to Vancouver. I went to the airport at 11:40 PM, and waited three hours, he came out and I met him.

A new immigrant story


I have to take my nephew to the daily rental place since I do not own a place in the city of Vancouver. My nephew was so excited but I could not tell. This is his first international flight.

Now I am not lonely Canadian any more. I have a nephew who is also Canada permanent resident. I landed in Canada in April 16, 2010. My nephew landed in May 15, 2019. In 2010 I was 44 years old. Today my nephew is 25 years old.

A parking receipt 


I like to document the receipt and remember the story of me as a Canadian citizen, work hard to solve my own problem. I welcome my nephew as a new immigrant, and promise his parents to treat him nicely and help him if I can.


Being frugal 


I talked to my roommate Angie, and she asked me where your nephew is. I said that he lives in a motel now. I talked about expensive of parking in airport, she told me that I should wait outside the airport, grocery store or somewhere. Free parking and wait.

I like the idea.
