March Update

I know I’ve not been updating this much. I guess its a cycle. You have your ups and your downs with blogging I suppose. But in order to avoid having a long gap, just a brief update and recap of the events that took place since the last posting.

Of course, winter has officially passed us. DST (Daylight Savings Time) adjustment just took place. We’re now 11 hours behind Malaysia compared to 12 hours previously. Winter this year as everyone who’s been here longer before us is milder and warmer compared to the other years. So I guess we’re lucky. Furthermore, there haven’t been much snow.

We’ve enjoyed 2 weeks of Winter Olympics. Although it wasn’t here we were able to watch it online live. Our favourite game was Ice Hockey of course (gee, we’re becoming more Canadian).

Our research has progressed well. We’re in the midst of forming solid ideas to move on. We’re hoping to be able to go back home mid of the year and are planning it out as we speak.

We’ve been to a few places – mainly in Halifax. Of course we went for a short ski trip outside of Halifax but found out skiing ain’t our thing.

So I guess, I’ll be coming around again to update the blog with hopefully more pics when the mood is there. Of course we’ve been baking and cooking but nothing too special to be announced out loud.

Till then…

Wintery Updates

Winter isn't all too bad. Partly because we've been lucky to come around this time. Compared to last year, as we were told, this year's winter seem very mild.... for now.... Hope it last till CNY.

We managed to get hold of a plot of land behind for our gardening. That's an excellent piece of news.

As for the day, unlike in Fall where the combination of a daylight savings and the earth's rotation, made it seem a lot shorter (becomes night by 4.15nish), that's quite the opposite now as the I guess its reach the shortest daylight it can even reach in Fall already. Now the day is expanding. Of late, daylight last right till about 5.30nish.

On to something else - sometime back, some asked me now that you're in Canada for sometime, can you tell the difference between Canadian accent? Well some might they use alot of 'eh', in their sentences, but I guess there wasn't much of that around. I would say that they tend to give emphasis on anything with a 'o' or 'ou' sound in it. Say for example about, the o is emphasis so much until the word sounds like aboat.
