I wanna go Taiwan again!

Little tin tin asked me a question just now when I knocked off. He said I will be super happy one. He asked me next year Jan wanna go Taiwan or not! Yay yay yay!!! Of coz I on him!!! I love love Taiwan!!! The shopping... the local delicacies... Yum yum... He said Joey wants to go... So can go together... I so happy can... Hope it is not just talks and no actions.

Life has been great. But will even be better if I can settle with a new job. Well... same old thing...

This month I didn't do much shopping! Hee hee. So pleased with myself. From what I can remember, I only bought 2 tops from m)phosis on Monday, Baby Chloe's present. No more already! No shoes no makeup. I must curb my spending! Though I have spent quite an amount on food this month, consider very good already!

And the tops I ordered from Forever 21 spree have arrived! After so many weeks of waiting. So excited!

I can't sleep, and I can't think of anything to do, and I have just submitted two job applications at UOB and MAS, though I know most likely they won't even reply. ... Never mind... At least I am still trying..

Ok after some posting to kill time I have decided to force myself to sleep. Good night! (actually morning already)

Poor little soul

HOW COULD YOU?
Jim Willis 2001



When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh.You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend.Whenever I was 'bad', you'd shake your finger at me and ask, "How could you??" -- but then you would relent, and roll me over for a belly rub.

My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that togather. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be more perfect. We went for long walks and run in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs," you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and dissapointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -- still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.

Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became "prisoner of love."

As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch -- because your touch now was so infrequent -- and I would have defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and togather we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway. There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me.

These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had changed from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf. Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allowed pets. You have made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family. I was excited about the car ride when we arrived at the animal shelter.

It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers." You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed, "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life. You gave me a goodbye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet, and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me a good home.

They shooked their heads and said, "How could you?" They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedule allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me. When I realised I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited.

I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her, the burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood.

She gently place a tournique around my foreleg as a tear run down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured, "How could you?"

Perhaps she understood my dogspeak, she said, "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained that it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light so different from this earthly place. And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It was you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.

The End.

****************************************

The above story is meant for you. You heartless creature. He did everything for you. To him, you are his everything. When has he ever not greet you with a wagging tail and spontaneous licks when you came home from work? He follows you everywhere you go. When you watched TV, he lied quietly beside you. When you revised for exams till wee hours, he lied beside your chair and accompanied you. When you eat, he sit beside you and waiting for the chance that you will drop food on the floor where he will gobble it down. When you sleep, he growls and bites anyone who come near you, because he wants to protect you and knows that you are vulnerable when you are sleeping. He barks when he hears anyone at the corridor because he wants to protect your house and ensure your safety, warding off all possible intrusion. All he did when you are at work is to wait patiently for you to return home. When it is time to discipline him, you did not do it well, and thus he could not differentiate the right from wrong. His basic mentality is to do anything to protect you. And he does not know the method he used is wrong. Because you did not train him properly.

He did the best for you. Are you doing your best for him?

All he gets as return is you forsaking him. And you did not even want to give him that last look. To cuddle him and talk to him for the last time. Worse, you even carried the thought of sending him to SPCA, where you knew that he will be put to sleep, because he is no longer as cute and attention catching as puppies.

As he is currently staying at a kind generous pet sitter's place, you took that opportunity to kick him out of your house and out of your life. Does he deserves this?

You see him as a chore and obstacle. Fine. Now you have successfully gotten rid of him. Now you can have the peaceful life you want and unite as a happy family with someone who has been loyal to you all along kicked out. This is what you want. Congratulations.

The poor dog whom still think that you are his everything daydream of you all day long, waiting for one day to see you and go home. Even until this point, he refuses to believe that you have abandon him. The person whom he gave his everything.

I cried. Not because I am worried for him. But because I think it is so unworthy for him to give so much for a person and yet the person abandon him. It pains me to see his sad and moody face longing for your return. You have abandoned in such a tactful and genious way. You win. I fell into your trap.

Yay!!!

Princess is happy because Bali's air ticket and hotel have both been booked! Yay! Bali Bali here I come. I am going for the 3 R(s) purposes. Rest Relax Rot! Just thinking about being able to nua on the beach under the sun with a cold drink and ipod makes me wanna fly there immediately.

Hope the beach is clear and beautiful. Hope it's even nicer than Tioman!

Looking at the atm when I withdraw money everytime, I wonder where I always spend my money. The amount gets lower and lower without me realising it. And it's scary. I feel broke.

Tintin made me pay for his petrol once twice every month. ... My evil boyfriend. That's another $60 expenses every month. Pouts. And hor I tell you, he super smart. Attempted to ask me pay for his bike's monthly installment. Half half, which of coz I refuse la. Because he should be responsible for his own thing mah. Although I also got sit lar. But he got black beauty before me mah. Then after I rejected he ask me to pay a quarter. Which again I rejected. Next he suggested me to pay for all his petrol cost. He must have thought that I am a numerical dumbo. I shot him a dirty look and say: ISN'T THAT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PAYING A QUARTER OF THE INSTALLMENT??? And he gave me a cheeky laugh. Basket. Therefore we petrol half half deal. I must be mad offering him that too. Why should I out of nothing agree to take up his responsibility? Machiam think my money nowhere spend. Might as well let them rest in my account right. Bo bianz. He has to save up. And that's at my expenses. Boo hoo hoo.

Words can never explain how much I miss my momo boy. If I can, I definitely let him stay with me. Give me some time boy. I will take you back once possible. Wait for me.

My birthday celebration

I had a simple, peaceful and nice birthday with my dearest.

He came over to fatch me at 4 plus in the afternoon, and we headed to Junction 8 to collect my shoes at Charles & Keith. And he surprised me with flowers! (actually kind of expected, haha. But I still love it!!) This time round he bought white roses.



We went to collect the shoes, but I ended up with a crazy shoes spree! I bought 4 pairs of shoes, 3 for myself and 1 for my sis.


2 out of the 3 pairs I bought, the third pair is currently sleeping over at Tintin's place. It's a metallic night dusk heels.



Best of all, I didn't pay for the shoes!! Tintin paid for my 3 shoes! Yay!! He said treat it as a birthday present coz he felt bad not giving me anything on my birthday itself. He is so nice!!


Plus the 2 pairs of shoes I bought last 2 weeks ago! I totally love all of them!!

As we walked around we saw a creature fair at the atrium and...

We saw a giant tarantula! And it will move!!

My sis came to look for me to pass me my pressie and get her shoes. Then we went to the arcade and my sis spent some money trying to catch a soft toy from the machine. Spent $5 but couldn't get it, she looked so disappointed and so I gave her another $10 for a few more tries. And at the $12 token, she got it!!


Us going down the escalator, with the piglet she just caught.

She was so delighted to have caught the piglet, and she said she will give it to me! My sis is so sweet!!!

After my sis left we went for dinner. Tintin bought me to the restaurant called Olive, located at Labrador Park.



We ordered escargot, seafood platter as the appetisers, and tenderloin and spagetti vongole as the main courses, and of coz red wine to go with the tenderloin!

First, the escargot was tasty! Taste of butter and garlic seep through and linger in your mouth once you bit. And the taxture was just nice. They were still boiling when served!

The seafood platter sounded huge, but luckily it only consist of 3 smoked salmon topped with roe, 3 prawns and 3 scallops. Was not bad, fresh, but taste average.

Next to main course. The tenderloin was well cooked! I requested for it to be medium rare. ANd it is just so perfect! Not too bloodly, the outer surface was just nicely done, and inside was juicy and tender. It is very seldom that I come across steak that is so nicely done to the degree I want! Seafood vongole. They were so generous with the clams! The steak was already half into my stomach while Tintin was still de-shelling the clams, and the shells mounted to a huge heap! Clams were fresh, and spices of condiments for the spagetti was very well coordinated.

He finished the spagetti within a few months coz it was too yummy.

We wanted to ordered chocolate fondue. but their chocolate were not available. =(

Highly recommended!





After dinner, we went to Coldrock at Holland V.




We ordered "Break the law" Bubblegum flavoured icecream mixed with mini m&m's, marshmellows and our favourite gummy bears! So sweet! We always love their icecream. First time I tried bubblegum flavoured icecream. I always thought it will be artifially flavoured, with those typical bubblegum taste, that I totally hate. But I was wrong! It tastes so nice.

After finishing up the icecream we headed to Gallery Hotel, where we have already booked the room for a night. Tintin made me wait outside the room while he set up.







He did all the flower deco and candles. And blew up ballons that were supposed to be heart shapes but erm... turn out otherwise. Haha. I gave him a Polo tee for the anni, and he tried it on.


This is my favourite number 3 player. And see his slender figure. Hahahaha.



My flowers, my pressie bag, the 2 supoosedly heart shaped ballons and nice flower petals.


We had a dvd marathon for the rest of the night, watching Horton and Borat. Tintin knocked out during Borat coz he found it boring and he only had 2 hours of sleep after his night shift before meeting me.

Next day, I kick him out of the bed for breakfast! After the lesson learnt went we missed breakfast at Conrad.


Oh clever me forgot to bring clothes to change. Ended up wearing the same thing. And I looked horrible without any makeup.

Breakfast was plain. Not much variety as you can see. Luckily it's complimentary.

Then we went back to the room to catch some more sleep before checking out. I got no jacket with me, so the bathrobe become my jacket.


My lovely sis and bro got me the seven dwarfs! And I am the snow white yay!!!






This pail is exclusively for cigarette butts!

After checking out, Tintin brought me To Singapore Discovery Centre. Coz I haven't been there before and when we wanted to go there months back, we realised it was closed on Mondays.




Tintin went shooting. Those flat ants are what my Tintin has shot down.






After roaming around we went for a short bus tour at SAFTI, and watched a 2D movie on piloting. SDC was not as fun as I thought it would be... Science Centre more fun. It's call about racial harmony, how Singapore developed, technologies, terrorism. Those typical school excursion place you know? For moral education. ...

After SDC we went home (now become my home liao, haha) while I napped and he played his fav Viwawa. Woke up at 8 plus and went down for dinner. Had curry fish head. And Ah Choo joined us. Finishing dinner, we went Cine to catch a movie with Crix. Bought tixs for Narnia: Prince Caspian. All thanks to Ah Choo and Crix that I was able to watch that movie coz Tintin wasn't into Narnia. Hee hee. It's nice I think!

After the show me and Tintin left for Sin Ming for prawning

Tintin first prawn of the night, and the miserable prawn that I caught. Only half my palm's length lor.

After prawning Tintin went to return the car back to Chee Keong while I facebook-ed, and he came back an hour later. Both of us were so tired that we knocked out straight away.

Then sadly, I went back to work .


My birthday pressie from my lovely colleagues Ah Biah, Xiao De and Rina. Thank you!!!

Of coz thanking Bz and Ladyboss for the wonderful dinner at New York X 2, and as well as the many well wishes from you people like Karhwee, Elaine, Phyllis, Mylene, Kristy, Chenhao, Edwin and many many more! Needless to say including my 3 girlies Fen, Elle and Hui.

All of you made my birthday a contented and memorable one.

Once again, thank you my dear Tintin for the effort, time and presents. Happy 2 year anni. I LOVE YOU!!!
