From the Mak Family... How I saved 3 hours a week! NTM plays Rep Soccer so like many sports, that comes with a lot of time commitment for both himself and the parents! That's 1 game and 2 practices every week. (And in the Summer Soccer Season, there are 3 practices!) We love watching him play the games, but honestly, many practices are just running drills and scrimmages. So when a friend...

From the Mak Family... Recently, I saw a post from a friend who just donated blood. I realized I hadn't donated blood in more than 20 years and decided to book an appointment. The process was surprisingly easy and painless. I went to my local donation center, answered some questions about my health history and then a trained medical professional took my vitals and then drew my blood. The best...

From the Mak Family... We had a lot of fun over March Break! NTM was invited to his first ever Leaf's game at Scotia Arena. It was also my first game and we were really excited to be there. Throughout the week, NTM had fun playing board games at a local cafe and staying over at his cousin's house. On Friday, we decided to go to Buffalo for some cross-border shopping. But alas,...
From the Mak Family... Last weekend, I had to wake-up at “Stupid O'Clock." That's the fun name we give to the early morning games we have for his Clarkson Soccer Rep team. It's still “stupid” because it's still dark out and everyone is dead tired! Sure, it's a lot of work to drive him to practice or games, but you know what? In a few years, we'll probably miss these memories. As the...

From the Mak Family... For the Family Day Weekend, we went to the Wayne Gretzky Estates in Niagara-on-the-Lake for some skating. Saturday was a little warm so the ice melted and became unsafe. The rink closed right when we got there so NTM got a little disappointed. Fortunately, there was skating at the Mississauga City Hall and we were able to have a great time. I personally haven't skated...
From the Mak Family... I just wanted to say a few words about Mayor Hazel, who was a near and dear friend of the family. At more than a 100+ years old, she was still very active attending various events in the community and supported many of our events at the Mississauga Board of Chinese and Professionals (CPB) since its inception 25 years ago. When we attended the “Mayor’s Charity Cruise”,...

From the Mak Family... This year, we celebrated the Chinese New Year with a large, hot pot dinner at home with family. NTM is really growing up and we are so proud of how independent he has become: making his own lunches and biking to school by himself. I'm sure he'll make a lot of new friends both at school and with his soccer team! .stk-95939c9{margin-bottom:0px !important} House...
