Sending your child to a Catholic school
Until a child tells you what they are thinking, we can't even begin to
imagine how their mind is working....
imagine how their mind is working....
Little Zachary was doing very badly in math.
His parents had tried everything....tutors, mentors,
flash cards, special learning centers.
In short, everything they could think of to help his math.
Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In
the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home
with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello.
Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.
Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was
hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.
To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a
word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.
This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to
understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card.. He quietly laid it on
the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation,
His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in
math.. She could no longer hold her curiosity.. She went to his room and
said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked at her and
shook his head, no.. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the
discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?'
Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school
when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling
around.'

Difference between COMPLETE & FINISH
People say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISH.
But there is a difference.
But there is a difference.
When you love the right one you are COMPLETE.

When you love the wrong one you are FINISHED!

When you love the wrong one you are FINISHED!

Opps... I got my balance over 14 cents at some point, but I quickly fixed it. This is my own definition of over contribution of 14 cents here.
However, the CRA's definition is different from mine. I never know that my withdrawals would not be added back to the limit until the following year.
Today, I received a letter from CRA that my total of the excess TFSA amount is $25,000, and I have to pay $250 for the tax penalty.
Quite an expensive lesson for me.
TFSA account overcontribution
Dear Minister,
I mistakenly viewed my TFSA account as a regular savings account and were unaware that withdrawals would not be added back to the limit until the following year.
I have been very careful to make sure my TFSA balance is not over $5000 in year 2009. I withdrew some money out when I need it, deposited back so that I could benefit from the tax free saving account.
Today, I received a letter from CRA that my total of the excess TFSA amount is $25,000, and I have to pay $250 for the tax penalty.
The fact is that my account balance didn't get over $5000, and the interest earn from this account was $55.43. I thought I could save money, but now I have to pay $250 tax penalty for my honest mistake.
I plead you to to waive my TFSA overcontribution penalty.

Dear Kian,
Thank you for taking the time to write to us.
We thoroughly apologize for the alarm and concern caused by the statement of claim filed against Wayne Lord and Bathurst Vans Inc and we will not seek further action.
While it is normal legal practice to look for reimbursement, this decision was clearly made without consideration of the specifics of this accident.
We would also like to thank all our customers that voiced their concern regarding our decision, allowing us to reconsider our actions.
File # 745747
Sincerely,
Desiree Guerette
Sr. Representative, LCL Customer Relations

Hi Loblaws,
RE: news on Loblaws bringing up and dropping its lawsuit against the driver of the van involved in a crash that killed seven Bathurst High School basketball players and his wife in January 2008
The lawsuit brought up by Loblaws is really a bad move. The President's Choice is as low as it could be.

Smacked children more successful: study
Children who are smacked by their parents may grow up to be happier and more successful than those spared physical discipline, US research suggests.
A study found that youngsters smacked up to the age of six did better at school and were more optimistic about their lives than those never hit by their parents.

Cobcob 的好朋友Yaya
Cobcob 最好的朋友是 Yaya。在我们家里Daycare，每次五个小朋友一起吃饭时，他们俩总是坐在一起。去公园时妈妈推着小车(鹏鹏弟弟)、拉着绳子带着四个小朋友，两个两个牵着绳子走，Cobcob旁边那位一定是Yaya。
妈妈注意了好几次：当有其他小朋友把玩具从Yaya手中取走，Cobcob就会赶快跟那位小朋友说“这是Yaya玩的”，然后把玩具要回来还给Yaya。
Cobcob最近爱上了Hockey。四个小朋友中只有Yaya肯陪Cobcob玩Hockey。难怪他们会是好朋友。

上海百樂門舞廳老闆美麗的女兒
話說民國初年，上海百樂門舞廳老闆美麗的女兒被名流紳士們瘋狂追求。
可是她誰都看不上，只喜歡舞廳內一個樂手。
當二人難分難捨時，她父親卻將她許配給一位駐美大使，她只好傷心的隨夫赴美。
離開前，樂手交給她一塊錢大洋，希望有生之年再相遇時，作為二人的信物。
三十年後，她搭機回國，出機場時，看到一個熟悉的身影，當年的情人在拉三輪車。
坐上車，她眼光泛淚，默默掉淚。就這樣，三輪車直奔百樂門舞廳，一路上兩人沒交談。
到舞廳門口時，她問多少錢？車夫回答：五毛。
她打開珍藏的一塊大洋：這給你。車夫頓了一下，收錢回家。
車夫回到家，看著一塊錢，百感交集，發憤振筆，寫下這世界名曲........
三輪車跑得快，上面坐個老太太，要五毛給一塊，你說奇怪不奇怪？
