A Step Closer...

This past week, I received a letter from the Canada Immigration asking me to do a medical check up for my PR application. It came as a surprise to me, since I thought it would take longer for them to process my application. I am so grateful for the speed they are working with, though. No complain here.

On another note, we celebrated Valentine and Chinese New Year, both on the same week. Calling home for Imlek was an experience in itself. I forgot how many members in my family there are. We spent an hour on the phone, calling numerous numbers. And we were only calling "the guys" from my dad's family, and my grandparents. Talk about a big family.

Amigurumi: Single Pea and Deadly Cute Ninja

I think I was bitten by the craft bugs. Here's my next creation: the single pea (because making 3 of them in solid green is just too much for my eyes) and the deadly but cute ninja. Chris called them Peany and Ninji. Peany, Dora, Ninji, and Mushy posing together It's hard to see from this photo, but Ninji actually has a sling (in a slightly different color) around his body, and a mini ninja star. And talk about proportion... the vegetables are larger than the cat and the person. Makes you wonder, isn't it?

Myth or ?

Now that my daughter hits 10 month mark, she starts to move more actively around. She doesn't quite walk yet, but she tries. Her feet don't move one in front of the other, but her whole body make a "jump" to compensate. As such, she fell and hit her head. A part of her forehead was swollen. And when we called our family, the single advice that everyone gave us was: Rub oil on it, and then rub a knife on it. This was totally the way we were brought up. I remember seeing an adult rubbing the swollen part of a child's head with knife. It works too! But it makes me wonder... Why does it work? Do we still have to do that nowadays?
