       My family and I escaped from Vietnam in 1989.  Four days and three long nights on the lonely ocean, I came to the refugee camp in Indonesia, called Galang.  I gotta tell ya, it's boiling over there!  Three years of hardships and limitations I stayed in Galang.  Even with many obstacles lined up in my ways, I did managed to have some fun and still carry those good & some not so great memories with me wherever I go...

        With immeasurable love and care from the Lord above, I was blessed to immigrate to Canada.  It was a memorable day I'll never forget!  I first landed to Weyburn, Saskatchewan.  With such change from Indonesia to Canada, you can imagine what it was like for me when trying to adjust to the weather, let alone the language barriers, and among other things.  After two unforgettable years in Weyburn, I then moved to a beautiful city called Calgary, Alberta.   No complaining though, because I am at last free and I now can look ahead to a brighter future! I hope!  :-)

        And finally, may you live long, laugh lots and love much.  Remember to stay positive and keep smiling regardless of what life might bring you...because when you smile, you'll brighten up the days of many  around you.  May God richly bless you and your loved ones.  Don't forget to share your blessings to many needed ones around you as well and God will bless you many times more.  Enjoy the rest of your days on this earth to the fullest.  If I don't get to see you on this earth, I'll for sure see you in heaven some day!  Have a blast!
