We have bought a new car :-) . A Sport Utility : Suzuki Grand Vitara. It is a nice car, not too expensive and have a better view when driving. Both myself and my roomate like it.

As soon as we got the car, I went back to Edmonton to attend my sister's engagement. It was the first time both family meet at her fiance (His name is Travor) 's mother place. It was actually a very nice get- together. I think my family enjoy it as much as I do. She plans to get married next year (September). They have also recently bought a new house. Which will be ready next year too.

Finally I have talked my mom to come to Calgary next year. I have been asking her eversince I came to Calgary, which is 2 years ago. I hope she can sell her house by next year and come live with me soon. So, both my mom and brother will come. I know there will be no problem for my brother to get transfer here and my mom can meet her cousin (and family) as often. Maybe they can go out as often... All i wish for is to give her a better life. And i would be able to spend more time with her too. She has given-up all she has back in Malaysia just to make sure that her kids get well educated. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. She is the best mom one can ever hope for. Never given up hope and always give me lots of chances to achieve whatever I aim for. Eventhough they might not be something she would want me to do.

I always consider myself very lucky to have a mom who love me as much, a brother who always support for whatever my decision is (financially too!!!) and a beautiful sister who knows how to make me happy and mad :) .

Donno what brought me to this topic. I guess I am just missing my family again... If you are living alone too... I bet you have the same feelings too!!! It is ok, as long as you know what you are doing and what your final goals are. If you are happy, your family will be happy too. Just remember that they will always stand by you too!

Let's change topic... I am learning a lot of new stuff in this new company. I am actually a bit nervous of everything here... I guess because I still feel that I am new to the company and I should get familiar with all the stuff I am doing SOON. Let's just hope that ALL these will come to me sooner ...

Missing you all, winnie (Aug 2000)
