Thank you for bringing up this topic. As an introvert and immigrant from HK, I have the same struggles with you. We are not alone. Ka yau 💛💛💪🏻💪🏻I believe we would find our own ways soon!
i can totally relate to you cos i'm also an introvert LOL, and sometimes overthink abt how the others see me. It's good to hv your husband supporting you when you share your struggles and when you are making baby step improvement, I'm sure things will get better and better with time! ga yau 🍇🍍
I feel like it’s very hard to blend in coz I seldom watch western movie or listen to western music. What would discuss about during small talks with your colleagues?
This is such a great question. I personally struggle with this a lot. I think I am getting better at it tho. I usually just observe what my coworkers are interested in and start from there. E.g. One of my colleagues is really into cooking so I just talk about the lunch I've made and some interesting facts about Hong Kong style cooking. Hope it helps!:)
i think the main teacher you need to have well connected is ----------------Special needs education teacher ( case manager )this teacher can be a real good supporter, or a person pointing finger to you especially your position as a ST. ( just like you did mention your mother tongue is not English ).......one real good advantage for you------------you can speak Cantonese and Mandarin......most teachers are really like having such co worker as their translator . Have a wonderful school year.... By the way I live in coquitlam as well.
Hi, friend from Coquitlam! :D Unfortunately, my school doesn't have a case manager, so basically, I have to talk to each teacher and therapist on an individual basis every day. And my anxiety just strikes through the roof every time I have to step into their classrooms to talk to them about different students and scheduling. About Cantonese, yes, I did get assigned to some Cantonese speaking clients because of that 😁, so there are essentially two sides to every coin.
woooop now more work load. i thought the special needs teacher is the case manager ( resource teacher )for all IEP arrangement. each school supposed to have at least one special needs teacher for managing all special needs students case load. Enjoy and have fun everyday.@@purpleNpineapple
Yeh, one step at a time. Learning to give myself grace and time 🫂 We can do it💪🏻💪🏻 Although this is hard for me due to my personality, I feel like these are the things that I should have started working on years ago, so I am actually grateful for this opportunity for a change 🐾

Thank you! Many of my friends here actually share very similar struggles 💛 I guess we can just take one step at a time. We’ve got this!
嘩 多謝你嘅分享 幫到好多新移民明白到北美嘅自由文化開放 合作性 而唔再係玩階級觀念 压注果D細嘅俾自己升級 呢庶長大嘅人 就係有意見會分享 co-operation skills係超effective 絕對明白當公司裁員時 除睇工作表現 仲係會好睇你合作性/合群與否 team spirit 嘛😅
我個叻叻姨生女🥰一定會越做越出色 😘 加油👍
多謝你！我地會努力的💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😁
菠蘿好似用正能量嚟帶動人。關心人。你哋都要加油丫❤❤❤
多謝你啊！呢個係佢嘅強項呢💜
Thank you for sharing!😊
加拿大不嬲都係Teamwork嘅，無論你高級低級都要俾意見同同事搞關係呢個最重要如果唔係一定係炒你先，你而家個心態係絕對正確嘅Teamwork喺加拿大最重要
發現本地人喺表達自己意見方面真係好厲害，流暢同好presentable，我都學習緊💪🏻
偶然間睇到你哋嘅影片令我好有感受😢你哋要加油呀！可以同香港家人一起慶生就係幸福😊我仔仔係mix，佢而家都係海外讀緊書。我諗所有住係海外嘅父母都有同一樣嘅諗法，都會想仔女就算係海外生活都可以學到父母嘅母語廣東話。但係海外生活，日常真係好難讓仔女觸到廣東話。所以我自己最近開左個廣東話嘅Channel，希望可以利用小朋友玩具，幫助同樣地係海外住嘅小朋友輕鬆學習廣東話日常生活對話+單字😊希望大家得閑都可以嚟支持下❤ 各位係海外生活嘅香港人加油❤ @eduNplay
睇咗你嘅channel好有趣，令我諗起以前返工果陣同小朋友玩，一齊加油！我都覺得廣東話係我地嘅文化精髓，要繼續傳承落去😤
@@purpleNpineapple 多謝妳呀！大家都加油🥰
初嚟步到打工, 最緊要眼看四方耳聽八方, 盡快掌握加拿大嘅節奏
呢邊啲人好睇enthusiasm, 唔好怕衰有idea放心好好講
啱啊留意週邊環境真係好重要～great advice!😁 表達想法方面或者就真係差咁啲自信心🙈
外國人因為比較 polite ，平面好似好認同，後然會自己做自己野，佢地未必會跟你認為對個套去做，佢地唔係好怕咩叫孭鑊，同香港人好唔同好怕孭鑊。
thanks so much for sharing!!! this is soo valuable!
Glad to know this is helpful! ☺️
HELLO purple & pineapple, 因為YT演算法, 令我睇到你地呢個channel....多謝你地既分享....
老實..做左咁多年人, 要唔怕醜咁去講英文都真係需要好大勇氣....
要唔介意人地點睇而去講自己既Idea, 都係需要好大既勇氣....
而最大既勇氣係有勇氣面對呢一切...搵番最初既自己...跳出自己既comfort zone...
你地在加加油...期待你地更多既分享...
多謝你呀，其實唔係好有勇氣架咋，但生活迫人，無辦法都要頂硬上
我係加拿大一間好大既金融機構做嘢，大部分白人同事，呢度其實都有office politics， 只係好subtle， 要係度耐左妳就明（我十幾歲黎）， 加拿大人nice但很多人係好假既，假既意思係nice只係想表達禮貌但唔係想同妳做friend，我公司都有裁員但裁左個最多sick leave 既人，唔需要擔心自己o羊性格。做自己就得架喇
做得耐咗，我都開始感受到你講嘅野，多謝你嘅鼓勵，呢啲咁subtle嘅野我諗我仲有排學，天生唔太識read the room有啲輸蝕🙈

I know right?! This is so hard! Good to know we are all working on the same things! Thank you for your supoort💜🍍Add oil tgt💪🏻
加油共勉之
在加拿大讀書也在這裡生活的人，不好介意不同意見，覺得你有點「本土味」或「自我陶醉」。我諗會有些港人在網上見到有些較為大的加拿大公司請bilingual ,就會認為係想找人懂英文及第二什至三種語言，即係識廣東話什至大陸話有着數都可以申報。
如果你係喺加拿大讀過大學/college,你就應該唔會有之前嘅擔心，我以前都喺溫哥華讀過書，上堂大家都好主動參與、表達意見/發問，完全唔會好似香港咁，所以工作文化都會唔同
我諗教育真係有好大影響，香港嘅教育top down approach 為主，上到大學我有時都會問下問題嘅，不過經過幾年喺香港職場嘅洗禮之後，我好似又彈返轉頭🥲依家要重新適應
You got it ,team player is imporant in CANADA ... go into the Canada life ...learn everyday ... forget HK living and style OK

If the other teacher has already gone past probation, you cant just fire him or her based on the so-called reasons you said. Google BC employment law.
我做緊野聽你地講啊
得唔得架😆
No I do not buy this BS. There has to be some other reasons ... do not be naive ...
You are not alone🫂 am going through very similar struggles and making baby steps too🤪🫂
Yeh, one step at a time. Learning to give myself grace and time 🫂 We can do it💪🏻💪🏻 Although this is hard for me due to my personality, I feel like these are the things that I should have started working on years ago, so I am actually grateful for this opportunity for a change 🐾
我第一套sofa 就係你地果套，係IKEA 買
又會咁啱😂 呢套sofa係我地業主俾我地～唔係話好好坐，不過有人黎，可以當床訓都幾好👍🏻
二十五年前我第一套sofa
原來已經咁耐😂真係長春款嚟，我覺得張sofa仲襯到依家嘅傢俬
唔好講香港文化，香港啲Office文化好垃圾，見低就踩見高就kiss ! 問下班回流港人，故事多到可以拍千集連續劇
我個人黎講都可以佔到幾集😂😂
首先用英语，别老是用渔村鸟语。这样可以更好融入社会。
