One YearToday marks the day that I first arrived on PEI on my own, checking things out as I awaited word on the new job. True, I did come in April 2010 with my brother and his wife, but December 7th marks my official landing on this island on my own. Weird to think about it. All the ways God has shown me how He is real and sovereign; how His Spirit is living and active... just unbelievable to

The Act of RemembranceThey shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. The Act of Remembrance is from the fourth verse of the poem, "For The Fallen," written by Laurence Binyon in 1914 about the outbreak of the first world war. It has been carried forward through the

DaddyTime and again, we, as God's people here on the Island, are reminded of God's grace and its impact on our lives at our tiny, single-minded human level. I have been studying about the Holy Spirit in the Tuesday night women's bible study Grace Group and have been learning a lot. Francis Chan does a really good job of putting the study package together and then being blunt about how even a

Gospel GivingWow it's been awhile since I have last written here! This is one of the main reasons why I knew it would be a bad idea for me to sign up for facebook...I would never have the patience to keep up both simultaneously.

Full of GoodbyesIt's inevitable, these goodbyes. And truly they are goodbyes rather than the typical "see you later" farewells. Yesterday we gave our tributes to Nollaig, a wonderful lady and OT who just cracks me up. She is always thoughtful and caring, taking the time to ask how I am doing, and then won't let me go until she gets the scoop on how Mom and Dad are faring.Today, we said Congrats

Home Sweet HomeIt has been more than a week since I have been back to my island home now! The trips to and from Toronto were safe and occasionally eventful. It was a pleasure to visit my folks again, I had missed them terribly. Here are some highlights of the many blessings during my trip...Friends: visiting with old friends through the day while my folks were at work ended up being a very

Just Call Me 'Dinosaur'Oh, the odd struggles I have with technology! I didn't think I was this bad... Give me those creaking old nokia phones and I'll sit down and figure it all out. Give me anything new and I just have a permanent look of confused concentration on my face each time I look at the shiny screen and try to operate it. Jonny tried to update me...I just say he makes me look cool hehe

Waiting for seeds to growI've recently started up the seedlings for my new vegetable garden. A little late, I know, but with all the rain and humidity, a late start won't be too big a deal this year. I hope it will turn out all right! I'm really excited for chinese melons :DThis past weekend has been quite an amazing time of learning and amazing quotes. I don't think I have enough time to tell

The Piper"We all come back to God in these days of soul-sifting," said Gertrude to Jon Meredith. "There have been many days in the past when I didn't believe in God--not as God--only as the impersonal Great First Cause of the scientists. I believe in Him now--I have to--there's nothing else to fall back on but God--humbly, starkly, unconditionally."--LM Montgomery in Rilla of Ingleside, pp125-

My chains are gone, I've been set freeSo a whirlwind of life has just come and gone in the last few months! I can't believe it's mid-May already... been in PEI for half a year and it hits me that I haven't done much updating. Well, practically none at all since Christmas! I'll try my best to do a "quick" summary... but for those of you who know me well, there's nothing "quick" about my jibber

Still running the race :)So it seems I forgot about march altogether and never posted much! The days have gone by like a whirlwind and night after night it feels like I still have more to do the next day. Despite the craziness, I am so happy to have been blessed by a visit from Bonnie. Even though our search for seals turned up empty handed, the beaches were still as gorgeous as I remembered, the

Free but Costly GraceKate's lyrics are a wonderful illustration of grace. And I'm not sure what's with the sudden liking to this southern gospel country-ish itch in the team..it's just a contagious one. Each new song I look up, it seems like the Gaithers are a frequent find. Seriously, the GBC worship team should record their sets... :)GRACE IS NOT EARNED - by Kate Simmonds 2010Grace is not

New Names, New HeartsIt seems strange to say this, but I have finally moved on. A shift in heart, if you will. Since Mom's short visit, I have been thinking of home home more often than I have been thinking of my home heavenward. Not to say that old friends and families have been forgotten! I have slowly realized that they are gradually taking the 'back burner' because I can no longer physically

Learning to PraiseI've been learning so many new songs recently that I can barely keep track of them. The writers of each song have been so inspired to write lyrics that seem to resound in my life, describing my experiences and expressing my heart thoughts so perfectly. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for moving the worship leaders to choose these songs to lead us in worship!Even if I Fall - Mike

Last DayHow sad! My first time being a co-CI (clinical instructor) and already 6 weeks has just flown by so quickly. Today is Katelyn's last day with Lisa and I on ortho. Now the only person missing in this photo is Katie, who I sincerely hope is recovering from Tuesday's incidents. I know none of it was my fault, but I still feel terrible to have contributed to putting the PTA out of commission

Mom Visits PEI Or as I'd rather say, Mom visits me ;) The last four days have been more than delightful. Oh, not without the usual Mom antics, but I still relished every moment. It's not like I haven't been away from family over my 7 years of university... I guess I just never had this much freedom away from them, or any other cantonese-speaking people. We had an eventful 4 days, a weekend which

Strange comments from patients"You... look like a Jap...anese sister of mine!"Erm, for an old, partially deaf caucasian patient to exclaim (quite loudly) these words amongst a ward of caucasian nurses and patients, there were definitely gasps of horror that went around the room. Funny thing was that the patient was hard of hearing, so she didn't realize the implication of the mid-sentence pause

The physmed dept is quiet, half the lights are off, and there is no one to page me. It's even quiet enough for me to chart while eating! I think I won't mind working weekends.

Onward MarchOne of my latest discoveries is a public yet hidden walkway that winds itself through our residential area to the community centre. I did not get a chance to walk it before the recent snowfall, so I have no idea just how far it extends. I went for my evening walk and found this path beautifully covered by the large fluffy flakes of snow that danced in the sky all day today.It reminds

Ushering in 20112010 has been a year of many blessings. Finishing school, finally being debt-free, living with my family, finally getting used to the non-nomadic lifestyle... listening and hearing God's voice in the midst of trials, and taking steps forward in His calling. I am never without food or love, and God's grace is more than abundant; His protecting and guiding Spirit ever-present.Here

Red, white or mushy? I don't know what kind of weather we'll be getting for Christmas. It's been storming something terrible out east here the last few days. The torrential downpour and fierce whipping winds have done quite a bit of damage to many homes all across the Island, turning even the traditionally named "green" Christmas into a very muddy, red one with everpresent grey skies.

Cultural CompetencyToday was our annual Christmas in-service day. It's not a department-wide nor a hospital-wide event, but a provincial event hosted by our physical medicine dept for PTs, OTs, speech, ortho surgeons, internists, admin staff, etc. who can make it.

The people here, despite being in ridiculous pain or discomfort, are still so pleasant!

Safe and sound! The beginning of a new chapter :)I landed on the Island on Tuesday (Dec 7th) and it was by far the most pleasant and turbulence-free flight on which I have ever been. Silly me, I thought it was a 3 h flight, but obviously only a travelling n00b like me would forget time differences and all. It ended up being only 1:45 or so. Some friends still joke and tell me, 'You're in the

I am missing them in my massive photo collection ;)My send offs were agonizing yet wonderful. I say agonizing because I always dread the attention, what a drain it can be on the introvert side of me!

From EmilyInteresting piece of news from Westjet. I wonder if the flight staff will be first aid trained to administer the epipens.The major difference between the old and new design of epipens is that the new epipens have a plastic piece that automatically pops up once the needle is released from the skin. Unfortunately, this means no more second chances. With the old design, the autoinject

Freedom tastes like...experimentation!So I'm not sure how well I did on that exam, but the last five days have been packed! Already, I've crossed off a couple items on my 'to-do' list before I leave Ontario. I finally caved and gave in to the baking itch. Normal people call it baking or cooking... I call it experimentation! Things I've never made before, and most likely recipes that I decided to

Failure is just success rounded down.Or so my brother says :) I wish it weren't so! I'm slowly learning to live every aspect of my life for God, especially the new ones that keep coming up. I have always tried to live (or at least think) in a yes or no fashion - go for it or don't, either I've got it or I don't, I'm in it or I'm not - and then live with the consequences. It's been hard -

Here are some of the latter for you...Ladies' Night (Cantonese Ministry at NTCBC) - The organizers take a photo at the end of a long night.

You only said I won't go aloneReflectionThere are so many things swimming inside me all at once that it's almost impossible to sit down to study anymore. One thing comes up and then the next; I thought I was antsy before, but today is the pinnacle of it all. I am not without blessed support, though having it doesn't mean all of this waiting isn't hard to wade through. Just one more day, and then

Snow in WaterlooA little more this way, and it'll be the perfect time to add a cup of marshmallows with hot cocoa to these buttered cinnamon pancakes... ;)I know I shouldn't be, but I am a tiny bit jealous of the fluffy white flakes they had out west today. Jonny even captured a picture of a bit of accumulation! I can't wait for the snow to come... the temperature is already dropping quickly. It

Congrats to the Class of Physiotherapy 2010, we worked hard and God brought us through a lot!I shared Friday with my parents and my best friend from childhood, Melody.

The baking itch just won't go awayOk I lied. This is another post in the same week. This is just one of the things I've been itching to make. Gah, I need to get better faster!!Courtesy of Ruelo Patisserie, Times Square, Markham, ON.*Drool*Oh, and to be clear, the baking itch has nothing to do with eating this stuff... it is purely the exhilaration of the experiment :)OK last edit to this post...

DreamsIt's been seven years. Seven since I started this university adventure. I have been blessed beyond imagination. Grown, stretched, and grown some more... learning to love God's creation more and more with each step I take away from home. In my heart I know this mega city mentality isn't for me; I did not know otherwise, growing up in the GTA, but with one taste, I just wished to go. With the

Non-City Gal ConfirmedOh, yes, Wyoming! there's no place I'd rather beRoaming!Of course, I can't finally be home and not pay a visit to the city just south of us. On Thursday, I borrowed a metropass and galavanted downtown Toronto at my own leisurely pace.

Count Your BlessingsAutumn is a wonderful season. It used to be my favourite a long, long time ago - the beauty of the colours of the leaves always takes my breath away. In the "favourite" category, autumn has long since been replaced by the glistening magnificence of snow...however, I'll have months to dwell on that ;) During these cooling months, I love to rake leaves and stomp all over the dry

Abby Lee and Ray Kung, Wed Oct 2, 2010 Yesterday, my dear Abby married a fantastic Ray :) You could definitely see their personalities in everything... from the best of wedding bloopers ('I take you to be my waffly wedded life...") to the strangest story of how they first met ('I didn't even have a cup, I just drank out of my bowl...') The most unique part of it was the 'speech' given by Ray's

Appreciation for the artsI often wake up to find something from my mother pertaining to her desire for me to be 'healthier'. This often comes in the form of sporadic emails throughout the day, but recently, it has been less subtle. For example, there would be yesterday's Metro (paper) lying spread out on the table to articles with titles to the effect of, "You are what you eat" or "Guide to clear

Happy 1 year!I can't believe it's been a year already since my brother got married. Joseph and Emily now live in the KW area, though they do still visit us now and then. Hurray for a massive lobster and cake and fruit afterwards, it was lots of fun eating with Em's parents. A trip to 'loo might be in order soon.The crazy cake...

Richard & Ling Chee, August 14, 2010Counting back, it's been awhile...a long while... and perhaps Rich is the first of my childhood friends to be married. I still remember the tiny asian kid with the wire-rimmed glasses, the hearing aids and the strange love to run around even on the hottest of days. Granted, everyone looks a little scrawny in second grade. =P Since then, we've gone through four

Cheers to new friendsWhile Dad and I cleaned up some grapes for yet another wine-making experiment, I found some new friends :) We played for quite awhile before Dad had the ingenius idea to introduce my new friends to our plants. We had a magnificent afternoon together... at least I did. My snail friends took a nap for too long at one point and I, being impatient, poked them so we could play :)

ChangeIt's always difficult to deal with change, though each time I get by. The last couple weeks have been a blessing beyond any expectation. Getting to spend so much time with Jonny is a rarity in the past few years... just when I was getting used to his presence, he's off to Waterloo again. No one to understand my random rants, to drive when I don't feel like driving, to walk into an EB games

Oh what funIt's not even Christmas yet and I can't believe how long I get to spend with Jonny. It's been a blast hanging out with my little brother. Rarely have we had such a long stretch to spend together because of school, co-op terms and other out-of-town events. We get to 'do our own thing' and see what's new since we left town. In the last two days, I think we may have gone to something like

Be a Man +1 CriteriaAfter talking with Dad today, we have discovered that the Man of the House is most likely to be the one volunteered to do the dirty work - take out the trash, squish the bugs, wipe up kids' vomit, and, added to the list today, clean up moldy stuff in whatever form it takes. I asked Jonny if this new addition could be generalized into the characteristic of not being squeamish,

Exciting WeekendThere were a couple highlights, namely Pam's bridal shower and spending time with family as always :) The breakfast conversation this morning was actually civil! I really enjoyed chatting with Auntie Sylvia and Uncle Patrick - and can't believe how gorgeous Paula grew up to be! Obviously I wouldn't post pictures of Pam's bridal shower without permission... since it involved...

We finally finished the ergo project last week, and this week my supervising professor has deemed my 898 research proposal acceptable to be sent to a second reader.

Done!The exam is done... wahoo! :) It was quite intense. If it weren't for Tim, we would not have revisited most of the questions over lunch and the soccer game. =P But alas, the post-exam stress set in and a quick lunch turned into a very long and, yes, stressful, one.

Procrastinating is a very bad habitI think the closer I am to an exam, the more I procrastinate. Not smart, I know. But I did it anyway... I was meandering through Mom's computer and found some old pictures!I can't believe another 2 years has flown by so quickly. I can still remember the hot, sticky day I convocated from UW kinesiology.

"You don't hang out with us enough"It's true, I don't ever spend much time at home. Ever. Or rather, I don't spend much time with friends on the scarce weekends I am home. The last 7 years have been rather nomadic for me, and the one physical constancy over these years have been my parents.

Canada Day + Studying = ProcrastinationYesterday was Canada Day. It was also our taco day :) Being resourceful with our chili, I decided to introduce Eveline to hard tacos. Now, I personally prefer soft tacos, but she likes crunchy things and Joseph has always loved the hard shells. Improvising with nappa instead of lettuce and plain yogurt instead of sour cream, our tacos turned out quite

Studying...It happens every time, without fail - random things just happen when we have exams! Thanks Vicky for lending us the heated curler set to try... looks like our trial wasn't in vain! With Ev and I as "trials" (tho my hair is way too short to be curled anyway!), it was lots of fun figuring out how to use those thingamabobs. Best thing is that Nadia liked how it turned out and will

Pet Peeve #3: the dirty bathroomThat's right, I'm talking about the hair and dustballs on the floor, the hair in the sink (yes, even short hairs, so boys are NOT exempt!), calcium water stains on the counter and tap chunking into brown nastiness, ...and most of all, toothpaste chunks in the sink.It's not that difficult a concept - just wipe away the hair and rinse away the toothpaste residue

Summer: just another itch to keep us from studying =PHot pot once more was a must - I had promised Julie and Berit, and I couldn't leave Kingston without one more recruitment into the Hot Pot Society ;) It was huge! It was quite the sight: three stoves going on at once with more than twenty people in the party room of our old apartment. Budge and Jamie kindly let us use the space and even booked

So long, farewell my dear Island! Fredericton and Halifax Side TripGood-byes are always difficult - I will definitely miss the Island! I really truly whole-heartedly want to live on the Island one day. Maybe in a few years. My plan is to get a house with lots of guest rooms so Mom and Dad can live with me, and have any other friends come over to the east side and stay over. I would LOVE to play

Revival in Belfast 2010, Belfast, PEAlright, you might be wondering, Belfast in Canada?! Isn't that supposed to be in Ireland?! Yes, in fact, it is. This conference I believe originated in Belfast, but is hosted worldwide every year. This year, (and I believe 3 years ago) it was hosted by folks in Belfast, PE at St. John's Presbyterian Church.

Tea Hill and Favourite SpotsI ventured east again, this time to Tea Hill - only a few hundred meters away from Bellevue Cove - and with Joyce and her father. It was so much fun! We found a local fisherman who was also clamming and was more than thrilled to tell us about finding razor and bar clams. Such interesting creatures... the razor clams were quite sandy, though of course much fun to dig up

Taking some 'work' home. A glimpse of my work life here!I love working in PEI. One day I will probably move to the Island. Maybe even convince my parents to retire there. ehehe. I am about 500% sure they won't bite that hook, but it's always worth a try. Plus, it makes convincing them to let me work outside of Toronto in the southern Ontario (maybe even northern, actually) even easier ;)

Bellevue Cove, Stratford, and Tea Hill, PEISo I'm going to do a little back-dating of posts so everything is sequential... just for an easier read :) My CI, Joan, and another therapist, Andrea, told me about the secrets of clam digging... and boy was I psyched to go dig! It would be my first time digging for dinner - well, I had thought I could dig for dinner, but it's actually hard work! I

"We made her heart stop"I thought I had a bad day at work and clearly, nothing could compare to the news I received afterward. Through the day, Sophie's condition worsened until her tiny little body could not even tolerate water. By the time I arrived home, a teary-eyed Nicole opened the door, and all she could manage to say was, "She's gone." I still can't believe it. I knew her only three weeks

Called to the Ministry of Motherhood?Lately, I haven't been able to do much sightseeing except what I can manage on my bike. I'd like to be able to go further, but I only have a limited number of weekends and many places close early on weekdays in Charlottetown. The tourism industry also doesn't start for another month or so, either. This all usually translates to me learning to adopt, as Joseph

Ch'town HappeningsLast week, I met Joyce, a radiation therapist in the new cancer treatment wing here at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Originally from Taiwan, she studied in Toronto and then moved to Winnipeg for work... where she met Lisa Hung! (now Bock) Apparently Lisa had mentioned to Joyce that I am also working at the hospital and somehow Joyce managed to track me down and boldly introduced

My first weekend alone in Ch'town, PE...has been quite eventful. I spent most of Saturday on my little bike adventure. My first stop was at the local farmer's market - we totally should have gone while Joseph & Em were here! Much smaller than the one in St. Jacobs or even Peterborough, but still quite a cozy place to find groceries, food, crafts and pottery. I even found a little doughnut stand

Saturday Night in Charlottetown, PEWe spent a rainy Saturday wandering the streets of Charlottetown. After an interesting penny pincher fair, we headed off for lunch to the newest Japanese restaurant in town. Zen had an amazing 2 for 1 lunch menu, which of course meant that this meal was our cheapest :)This volcano roll was not on the discounted lunch menu, but was delicious nonetheless.

Tour of Atlantic Provinces PEI and NSAfter landing on Charlottetown's red soil last Wednesday, Joseph, Emily and I quickly made our way across the Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick and off to Nova Scotia, where we toured through Cape Breton Island. The Cabot Trail was a wonderful suggestion from Emily. Even though the season did not allow safe hiking due to unchecked snowy trails and frequent

Devil's Rock, OntarioMike and Mari drove me down to Buck Park in North Cobalt, where we started our trek uphill towards a beautiful escarpment. Buddy was a great sport and joined us. Between Buddy and Mike's axe, we were certain that whatever we might encounter wouldn't have a good chance of biting our heads off! The most exciting find was coyote scat. :DStanding at the top was just surreal. This

What do crocs and donuts have in common?Holes! :) Not that I would ever want to wear crocs. But that's not what I was investigating last weekend. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to head down to the marina and take a walk around to get a better glimpse of the ice fishing holes. I had missed them the previous weekend when I passed the ice fishing derby up for cross country skiing, but

New Liskeard, OntarioThe city of Temiskaming Shores is a beautiful place. The snow covered hills are a dream come true. Combined with beautiful sunny days, the past weekend has been amazing. Among the adventures so far, this past weekend was the most exciting. On Saturday afternoon, I went cross country skiing with my clinical instructor Jill and her kids, Zoey and Jake.

Dreaming of way back when... One of the key questions the faculty asked us when we first came into the physiotherapy program at Queen's University was, "What would you be doing if you didn't get into physiotherapy?" Not one said medicine (yay!) - which goes to show how competitive it was to get into our program last year. I thought of ergonomist and baker ... and after last two evenings, I think
