Last Sunday Feb. 18th was the Chinese New Year. My friends Helena, Mars and Cynthia came over on New Year’s eve. We made a table of delicious food together. Also lots of wontons. Helena is very good at cooking and she was the head chef in the kitchen. After the dinner, we played mah-jong in Shanghainese style and with money. I was the big winner on the mah-jong table and won about 10 dollars from Cynthia and Helena. Ron said that on mah-jong table, I cleaned out my friends without remorse. My friends, be careful not to lose your house on my mah-jong table, I tell ya!
Feb. 8th I had my wisdom teeth removal surgery. I had two teeth removed. One on the bottom was growing horizontally, which caused difficulities for the operation. I was put to sleep during the process. I heard the doctor say I would feel tired after he set up the IV on my left hand. The next thing I knew was somebody calling my name. I was amazed to find out that the operation was done. For about one week and a half, the bottom right part of my mouth was swollen. I couldn’t really chew hard and had to take pain killers almost everyday. When Chris had his wisdom teeth removal surgery, he had two teeth that grew horizontally and two teeth that grew at 45 degrees under the neighbouring teeth. The consequence of his surgery was that his whole face was swollen. And he couldn’t eat anything except liquid food. He said he felt painful even when he was just trying to swallow. It took him about several weeks to recover. So if you want to lose weight, get some tooth surgery. Not that I am saying it worked for Chris. 😛
Now we are at the Quebec city airport. Our flight was delayed because of the bad weather in Toronto. Ron and I spent the weekend in Quebec city. Friday night at the Ice Hotel and Saturday night at le Chateau Frontenac. We had quite an adventure at the Ice Hotel and also had a wonderful time in old Quebec City. One thing that needs to be mentioned is that Air Canada lost my luggage successfully again on the flight to Quebec city. Probably Air Canada has some sort of grudge against me? I think it is probably time for me to find myself a big carry-on bag. No checked bags for me from now on!!
Enough “Bonjour”, “Salut” in two days. The sound of “Bonjour” means “stupid pig” in Mandarin while “salut” means “dumb donkey”.
