• Summer Summer Summer!!

  I love Summer!  I am pretty happy that my summer this year is super long b/c I escaped the Ottawa winter Jan to March.  yay!!

  Been very busy lately because Marsha is always busy in the summer.  What does this summer mean?  Summer blockbuster movies!  Patio time, street bumming, world cup in pubs, learning to sail, tree treking, picnic, outdoor sports :-/, gardening?, biking, DQ icecream!  got my roof done etc... Also learnt how to play mahjong. haha.  

  The next few weekends, two boating exams, cousin visiting, dive, and I really really want to go to the new biggest waterpark in north america in August (just 45 min east of ottawa)!!!  looking forward to NYC civic long weekend!! also have to go to Montreal again in August - have to visit La Ronde with my friends!!  (yeah, my mental age is 10).  Rafting camp will have to be next year!!  Summer oh Summer!  Is that why cold countries' literacy rate is higher?  They have less time outside so they have to stay indoors to study and work? 

  

  Anyway, starting to seek for a property somewhere in the world to buy.  This is a big project because there is so much to read up on.  Arguably, I should focus my secondary time (primary is play in teh summer! hhehehe!) on personal and career development because the timeframe for this one is tighter and good decisions here will open doors and bring happiness.  

  Looking back, it really feels like a dream and I, no matter how active here, am living in reality now.  If you have never left Canada ever, you will think that Vancouver is the best place on earth, Canada provides the best first world comfortable lifestyle and think that gov't jobs are the best in the (read: your) world.  Yes, I agree that the above are all true, but only depending on how you value things.  Canada and government jobs, provide a stable, down-to-earth, humble, mundane, regulated lifestyle with comfort and relatively low stress. 

  During my leave, I was very close to working in HK and SH.  Life in Asia, as I see it, is more unregulated, extreme and unprotected.  That's why you feel livelier and that's why it gives one hope...
