jan. 2014 New York trip

2014 jan. 22. Montreal, New York trip.

Lots of things happen. Most important one is Ann Zhang, Seasy's friend, she hanged herself at home . I am deeply shocked , first kid I knew did this. She was a smart , sweet girl, a relatively close friend of Seasy , few month older . They dance together,  spent 6 hrs a week in past few month together. She is number one student at school, has pressure from school and felt lonely at home, parents separated for long time , mum is too busy to take care of her, she does not have enough love like normal family. She choses timed life . I am very surprise for this happen in Canada, kid felt pressure in china, fell freedom in Canada, I really think this is mentally sickness. Ever since this happen, I talked a lot with Seasy, she does not believe it is a suicide , she felt hurt in school and went for a run at point present park, I went to pick her up.   Kids now a days life are totally different with us . They have all kinds of internet access for information, there is less privacy, more pressure, too much information, they experience parents separation, early relationship, friend suicide, lots of confusion, I am concerned for what our kids will be, hopefully, I can provide a simple, happy environment for her and she will be just happy.

Most Business went very well, never be so good. Felt we hit the roof. There is no roof of business of course, CRA arrived, government tried hard to suspect every business owner cheats, they treat business owner like criminal and try hard to make us all bankrupt .

Pierre and us all went to Montreal to meet his step brother , George's and me arrived earlier to meet lawyer Andre , Andre is a decent guy, he got cancer also and recovered, he rent office 80 nights a year from Hilton hotel in Montreal, metro station is right under hotel, very peaceful and  harmony hotel, really like it.
We went to see Camille , Frederique , Lionel , met Patrick, Renaud. Montreal is very cold, but meet friends is fun. Nice food . Pure celebration mood for the business success . Really like hit jack pot at casino .

Camille arranged a party I her house to see little Sasha , she is so adorable, so pretty, Georges does not feel good, I went to Pierre and Renaud , Renaud wife is very young, pretty . Had a good time . Montreal is really cold, but people still live normal, they equip all kinds of gears to keep live not disturbed, like winter boots that against salt, winter cold that keep you 100% protected under -20 degree. Human is powerful in adapted weather.

George's is excited again, try to do a retail store in Montreal airport. I fully against . 26th we left Montreal to New York , 26th , arrived, hotel is very nice, double tree, close to 5th avenue, many nice Restrauant around , convince to stay. 27th, went to hospital 7:00 am for heart operation. I was told it takes 2-4 hours, he went in, first operation of the week, very nice well know surgeon , a strong man, our doctor said he is the best surgeon . He went in, I was not nervous , just long time waiting, free wireless, I can do anything . Time past 4 hours, I stated to concern a little. Time past noon , I went downstairs to eat lunch, rush up and found he came out from operation , like last time, pale face, the sign of life is very weak. I sit down quietly, look at the man I love, only want doctor to ensure me operation is success. Doctor did not see me and left . He started to vomit, but for 24hrs, he ate nothing, must be the reaction of medicine, do not know what piles he took this time, helpful his liver can take it,
His spine is gone, pancreas cancel, gold bladder stone, stomach had issue for 20 years or more, now is heart operation. Only liver and kidney are good . Hopefully nothing else wrong again .

Late afternoon , doctor came, he told me it is success operation , he burned 4 nervous at heart, one is behind right heart which took long time.  Doctor assure his heart will be good for another 5 to 10 years .  Tube was put in from his too legs top. 2 huge Bruce there and can not work, we were removed to a room with other 3 patients , only one male nurse.  Bad attitude , later, we chat and know he was a Butcher before nurse, butcher was his job for years. Really scarring . Room is too noise, no way I can sleep, I spoke with people in charge, eh transit us into a private room, give me a sofa so I can sleep for one night,

George's life is strong, next day, we got dismissed, took taxi to hotel and started to talk around a little eat meals normal and started regular life. 4 days staying at hotel ( right cross street from whadorf astria ) , I felt lucky I got a. Ice hotel that close to everything . 28th is Chinese New Year's Eve, parents are at home alone , Seasy has a show on 28th, I asked Seasy to bring them to see the show so they can spend time together, 29th, Seasy has show again, I sent parents to neither yang guan's house to party. Seasy went later at night after her show and stay till 1:00am.
Friday, 30th, I went to china town to celebrate Chinese New Year on my own. The happiness is a lot there, 4 Lion dance came from different direction streets that right cross the Center , beg money at every door, drum was out on the cart, big sound, most business owner decided to give red pocket and bring lion goes inside store so all customers inside can enjoy the atmosphia  , some owner did refuse,  lion player has a negotiator leads the group , talk to loaner first before lion arrived. First time I know lion dance is a business that can make profit .

I bought the paper firework.  Had fun on the street.  Later in the night, went back with George's, very surprise to see all streets are clean, everything is gone, can not feel a single holiday celebration . Amazing fast .

Saturday, we back to Halifax, he does not look the same as before, can see he is a patient , hard to climb stairs, easy to tire, sweat a lot on the night .

But Monday, we have no choice to sit in office to do CRA documents, straightly for 10 days after including weekend, we work 8-10 hrs a day to calculate all travel expense, office expense for 2 years. Huge amount of paper work that I did not do for 20 years .  My back is pain, his. Must be so pain. He took a lots of stress in these 10 days, killed his recovery period .

We all agreed to take nice break after we done the documents, last time I worked so hard on documents was 1991, my first job as secretary .

Feb. 20th , One thing maybe good from this is : he returned the house we bought together, 1.2 million, it is a very sunny house , but overall material is really not up to the standard of mine . I have an very hard time to live in . But he love the sun. I was so stressful as none of my family number  like it . I do not want to lower down my standard to adapt a life, I want to love the life I live in. He said he gave up the house for me.

I got sick. Since ski back on January , I kept on having blood in urine, a lot, fresh blood, last for 3 weeks , went to emergency, got kick out as doctor can not find anything, family doctor closed his clinic as he can not hire enough doctor. I finally find a new family doctor who believe what I have is kidney stone, did CT on February. 14th, followed with 2 ultrasonic , nothing is wrong. Ultrasonic found right kidney shape is not completely show . Specialist in Halifax said I need a telescope inside bladder . Then, tube extended to kidney to do a biopsy   And it will be a tube outside kidney to drain for 4 days, I freak out ,
