• Sweet Escape

  This will be the 5th winter in Ottawa, but I have never spent my birthday there.  This year is not any different! hehe.

  Using all my 16 days of vacay plus 1 day personal leave for Dec24-Jan23 --->  A good break from the harsh January Winter to Vancouver, and then Hong Kong (and some asian country).  If I can take Dec, Jan, and Feb off every year, I suppose I can stay in Canada for good.  Only the government will let me do that unless I work for myself...  Yeah, that's what I have been doing besides hanging out with friends - research how I can say good-bye to a 9-5 job (or 8 to 8 for private companies)... I even bought the book "4 hour work week", finding my ideal job, ppl send out hundreds of versions of cover letters and applications... gawd...  Everytime I go online, I go on some real estate website, and look at cars, schools, crime rates, useless stuff and facebook until I have to sleep. -__-"  No Self-control AT ALL.  Yeah, need to get a car and stocks.  Ugh..

  Not being in Vancouver would be escaping Ottawa's cold and some Eastern Canada social norms I don't like, but back to family complications and influences that are not good for me and western canada social norms I dont' like.   

  This vacation excites me until I have to think of which relative to live with, what to tell people about my situation and what is the right way to maximize my time there, how long I should spend time with my dad and Mel..  Sometimes I sound very cheery.  People think that I am a very cheerful, positive person who makes them laugh.  The truth is, my default mood is either average or down.  How do people get so happy and excited?  It has been as such for as long as I can remember...  Well, unless I am talking about escaping.  hahaha..
