I Hate Onion~~~!!!

Onion! Onion! Onion!......

I have a part-time job in Den. I love my job because I can learn a lot from it. Besides, I love cooking, but, but, but.... I HATE ONION!!!!! I work as a pre-cook, which means I do the preparation for the food we service. Sometime I have to cut onion. All kinds of onion have to be cut into different shapes, different sizes. The most terrible thing is slicing onion. In fact, there is a slicing machine. What I have to do is putting the onion into the machine, and then, pushing and pulling the handle. Last time I used this machine slice 12L onion. My tears couldn't stop rolling down my cheek, and others all standed away from me, because they didn't want to cry like me. Some one said that you'd better put the onions into the water. However, it didn't work. I was thinking about why people like to eat onion, while my tears were still rolling, if nobody ate it I wouldn't cry~! It's really a terrible experience which made me started to hate onion~!

Terrible Onion! Terrible work! Never touch onion I wish......

Is there a God?!

Yesterday, my neighbor asked me whether I'd like to go to church with them on Sunday morning. In fact, this is the third time they invited me, and I'd like to. However, every Sunday I hardly get up at 8. I missed it for 2 times, and today is the third time. If there is a God, I mean if he/she exists, I hope he/she won't blame me. Yet, is there a God?! I've no idea~

I suddenly remember the essay I wrote which is a about the exist of Santa Claus. At first I didn't know how to write it because I didn't know whether there was a Santa Claus. What's more, in China we have no Chrismas. When I looked through the internet and tried to find some information about Santa Claus, there was a letter noticed my eyes. A young girl asked a newspaper editor whether there's a Santa Claus. The editor told her he lives and lives forever, as long as you believe. It moved me a lot. I suddenly felt it was happy to believe the exist of Santa Claus. After that I saw a movie called "polar express", and it was one of the most favorite movie I have seen. (I love animation movies, for it is full of imagination.) It made me suddenly started to believe the exist of Santa Claus!

Once in my oral English class, my foreign teacher talked about the belief of fairy. He firstly asked my opinion. I said "no", because I had no reasons believe. Then, he asked one of my classmates, she said "Yes. It was said once a person said 'I don't believe the exist of fairy', a fairy would be dead because of what he said." After I heard that I changed my mind immediately.

Maybe all of us should have some belief. Believe God, Santa Claus, fairy, or you can also believe your parents, siblings, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband,wife...... Sometimes they can give you a sense of belonging.

Newcomer's New Life

It has been one mouth since I came to Canada. After one month, I think I like my life here~

To be a newcomer, there were a lot of things that I didn’t know at first. However, many people helped me a lot. I still remember the first time when I was going to take C-train to UC, yet I had no coin pay for the ticket. It was an old lady who gave me $2.25 and told me how to buy a ticket. I had tried several times to exchange $5 to some coins from her, but she didn’t accept. We were talking about Calgary all the way. She told me that Calgary was a big city and the weather here was unbelievable. It is until now I can understand what she meant by unbelievable. In fact, it was her who gave me the first impression of the people in Calgary, which is friendliness!

When people try to describe the weather in Calgary, most of them use the word “cold”. Perhaps, the weather here is unbelievable, but the more unbelievable thing I feel is the people here, for many of them wear T-shirts in such the cold day! A few days before, on the way home, my friends and I were talking about the colder weather and what kind of warm clothes should we add, while a little boy, maybe 4 or 5 years old, who worn a T-shirt and a pair of shorts, was walking across us. We even couldn’t believe our eyes! It was at evening in the outside!

I’d like to know more about the people here and the way they live, which will make my life much more colorful. Looking forward to tomorrow~
