my tw milk tea~!!! *sob*sob*

i bought e bottle of $1.70 tw milk tea when walking home just now. I generously treat my parents to a few sips and kept the remaining in the fridge to chill it somemore.

After my shower, i took out the bottle and sip it some more. Bit by bit. Wanting to save some for tmr, i asked my dad to put the remaining one third in the fridge.

Ten minutes later, i walked into the kitchen and my dad said 'There's no place in the fridge so i drank it all.' and i saw the empty bottle in the rubbish bag.

I bet you all can guess my reaction...

In case you all felt that its a valid reason, think again. My dad didnt buy back any bottle items just now and i took out my tw milk tea from the 'bottle' compartment in the fridge.

So, moral of the story: Just finish it.

little life-changing updates..

on Darcy..

A couple of wks ago, dad told me that AVA called our house as they were unable to reach me on my hp (i cant talk on e hp when i'm in my office. dun ask me why. just a regulation they impose). The AVA-ian said that one of the neighbours had make a complain on Darcy for barking all day long. In the morning and late at night. He said, this call is just to let us know that someone has complained. Just that. And try to control his barking.

Several questions i had was.
1/ How do they know that the bark they heard was Darcy's? Because there are a couple other barky dogs in my neighbourhood.
2/ Why didnt that neighbour come and knock at my door to let me know first before making the complaint? (This lead me to thinking on how cold and unfriendly we had become to our neighbours. I do not smile at my neighbours at all. I do not even know the faces of my neighbours except my next door. I remembered my neighbours were my friends in my old house. Everyone is 'auntie' and 'uncle'. We know who live where and how many children and pets they have. I know whether their daughter who is around my age plays with Barbie dolls or not. Now, i dun even know if they are my neighbours or just visitors. sad isnt it. But this is what we choose to live so face it.)

In case you guys do not know the seriousness of this matter. If someone makes another complain, i may get (a) a fine or (b) request to rehome Darcy.

So, my parents tried not to agitate him late at night by retiring to their rooms, locking him out in the living room after 10pm. Me, i really need to enrol him in an obedience school soon. Real soon.

on Me..

Last monday, on the journey to work, i ALMOST black out. Not the first time it happened but it broke my record. Normally i could last till Novena but this time i KO at Bishan. I went to see the doct who suggested that i can opt to take a blood test if i'm really worried. (Note: the day before, i wanted to do my bit for society so went to a blood donation drive but i was rejected for being a 10-pointer on my iron level. Normal ppl has a reading of 12.5, blood doners need 12.8 to be allowed to donate, mine was 10.8. I was given some iron tables and asked to try again a mth later.)

So, i decided to do the blood test as its
1/ free
2/ just a prick on my middle finger and some blood will be collected.
3/ wanna ensure that nothing is wrong with me

Hence i said yes.

And the doct took out one of the biggest needle i had ever seen to be used on me. The good part was, it wasnt painful at all. Seriously. But it still FREAKS me out. Think he took about 20ml of my blood.

Anyway, results came out on wednesday. It was printed on a sheet of paper with those readings that fall out of the range of a normal person in red and black for the readings that fall within.

I show it to my dad when i reach home and after some time for him to digest, he said ' 7 failed and 7 passed, 50% lor'

I 'diao' there.... So like a teacher..

Anyway, i was diagnose with Anemia.

The iron level was really low so this should be the main reason. I guess drinking too much alcohol is also one of the main reason as well as menstral bleeding.

Again, i was given iron pills which i must take religiously and report back to the clinic a mth from then for another check up.

So now i must eat more beef and green-leafy veggis esp spinach(which i happen to love very much in eggs benedict) to build up on my iron count. Also, i was told ginseng is good, so anyone wants to sponsor a stalk or two or treat me to eat korean ginseng chicken?

I like tis..

买CD 把你的声音丢在角落
看电影 到结局总是配角的错
你要的故事 让你去说
我要的生活 我好好过

写日记 写不出是谁的感受
夜空里 每个人占有一个星座
你到底懂不懂 我只要一点温热的触碰

你到底懂不懂
有些话 并不是 一定要说

你总说爱情之所以为爱情 是用来挥霍
你总是漫不在乎 当我看著自己的稀薄
你编织的感觉难以捉摸
你比我的梦境还困惑

我看见爱情之所以为爱情 谁都在挥霍
我想的天长地久 也许只是时间的荒谬
我沈迷的感动与你不同
我的了解让我自由

一场雨 有时候下得不是时候
就像你 说难过不是真的难过
你到底懂不懂 我只要一个安稳的等候

你到底懂不懂
想你想得好像 空气都停了

你总说爱情之所以为爱情 是用来挥霍
你总是漫不在乎 当我看著自己的稀薄
你编织的感觉难以捉摸
你比我的梦境还困惑

我看见爱情之所以为爱情 谁都在挥霍
我想的天长地久 也许只是时间的荒谬
我沈迷的感动与你不同
我的了解让我自由

Back on Darcy..

Darcy likes cooler temperature.

If the air-con is on and the fan is on speed 1, he will sleep on the floor. But if the fan is on speed 2 and blowing directly at him, he will sleep on my bed, on top of my blanket. Cause its cooler.

When Darcy sleeps on my bed, he likes to sleep on his side and lean on me. Recently, he even use my foot as his pillow. Which somehow melts me even more.

When i wake up in the middle of the night, mostly he will be sleeping with his front part of the body on his right side and the behind part will be open wide and in the air.

If you are trying to picture it, trust me, it looks weird. But somehow, i felt comforted that he trust me enough to forgo his image and sleep in anyway he like.

sweet**d

Did it ever happens to you...

One fine day, unknowingly, you saw a long lost friend standing just 3m away from you. You recognise her/him and he/she you. So you started chatting away on what had you been up to and what had you been doing for the last how many years. Den exchange your numbers bid a farewell and proceed on your way.

Usually, my heart will be smiling but my brain will be working non-stop asking this question

'Where do i know him/she from??? JC, Uni, work or clubs n events? '

Did you ever have that thought too?

Just wondering, in forty years time, will i take even longer to remember or wld i just hack it and forget about it?

Just wishing that no-day will i ever finish my lunch/dinner/whatever meal and ask this question

'WHERE AM I?'

muhahahha... yes, i'm making fun of U!

***

Now n den, u see ur friend's msn nicks reflecting their complaints, joys and pains. Sometimes you see ur friend's displaying their emotions thru their display names.

Most times when i see that, i will just give a silent sigh, an imaginery shake of head and go on to surf the net.

Everytime, i wish that they can come out of this transparent web that they had spun around themselves, and see how bright and sunny the world is, with the occassional butterfulies fluttering by and the rainbow so far far away ie to see that this world has more joy than sorrow you are feeling.

This brought me back to one memory. Something i'd blog about before in my previous blog.

It was a bright and sunny Christmas afternoon. It was summer. My first year in Melbourne. My first Christmas not spend with my friends. Assignments was pilling up and the homesickness was at its peak. I was out at the nearby Garden, sitting by the pond after finishing my Freedo Ice-cream, watching the mother duck bringing her ducklings out for a swim.

The tree were green and the grass was dry. It was a beautiful day. But i was sitting there, alone, stoning and thinking of singapore n of tt someone special.

Then along came a local, he looked like he had been sleeping under the bridge for the past few nights and he went to the opposite bank squat down and pick up this leaf.

He said to me ' This pond represent the world and this leaf is your worries.' He then dropped the leaf into the water and let it float away. ' Now you see, your worries are just a small leaf in a big pond.' With that he walked away.

I finally understand what he was trying to convey some years later.

So, friends.. Life is good yet short. Always look on the bright side of life. Its alright to dwell in the dark every now and den, but always remember the route back to this wonderful world.

You know i'll always love you as you are. n i'm not the only one.

Luv u!
