October 20 is our lucky day

I know that it could be purely coincidence but I choose to believe that there days that are just so lucky for some people. For us, it is probably October 20.

October 20, 2016 (1 year ago). Ford received a job offer, with a salary that's more than what we were expecting! We were so grateful! Less than 3 weeks of moving here in BC and he's got a job already. It really felt like everything was falling into place.

October 20, 2013 (4 years ago). After almost a year of stressful wait, we finally received an email from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) that a decision has been made on our spousal sponsorship application. It meant one thing -- that after 10 1/2 years of being in a long distance relationship (bf/gf + husband/wife), we will finally be together! You will never imagine how happy and excited we were!

October 20, always be good to us ha! =)

What will you do if one lunch time, a crisp $20-bill magically appears in your paanan? This happened to me last January 11, 2014 (a day before our second wedding anniversary) at T&T Supermarket in West Edmonton Mall.

I was waiting for Ford near the dining cashier area while he was getting our food at the barbeque station when my huge tote bag accidentally bumped a stack of chips. I picked the pack of chips up and voila, a 20-dollar bill was also there on the floor!

I looked around, searched for anyone who might be looking for it. Nada. So I decided to keep it. I can't do much, right? I felt sorry for the owner though.

So back to my question. With $20 at my disposal, I of course went to Dollarama for my guilt-free indulgence!

You see, if I spend $20 on food, that would just be 2 burgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks. In Dollarama, I was able to take home a lot - glasses, soda, tissue, kitchen clips, socks, measuring tape. At may sukli pang $3!

My good fortune in two plastic bags!

To the owner of $20, again I am so sorry. There was no way  that I can find you so I decided to keep the money.

Please be assured that your $20 made a 'jobless' person very happy.
