Argg... 1mth flew away just like tt..

today, i die die also must create an entry else i dun noe when else i will update..


i have so so much to tell, but i do noe know where to start, wat to write and watever who where wat?!..!!


So, lets the x random things occurs!!!!


1/ i'm sick of work. wats new? i want more tuitions! such tt i can earn as much as wat i'm earning nw so tt i can quit my job. But, will i?


2/ Darcy's right eye appears to be have some problem. His right eye lid will slowly slowly close while his left is still wide open and staring at u. I did some gentle eye massage but it still does nt go away. Shall wait n see hw tmr. If its getting worst, i wld need to bring him to e VET.


3/ Darcy had stop eating his kibbles as we gave him fish+rice for dinner everynite. It was suppose to be a every now n den meal but my parents started cooking fish+rice for him EVERY NITE resulting in his disinterest in kibbles. (All their fault!!) As we wld be going tw soon, it wld be very troublesome for the kind, helpful, wonderful person to have to cook everynite for darcy. So we started him back on kibbles. N he's still rejecting them. But not as much. A hungry dog is A HUNGRY DOG. Hope he will be back on kibbles by then.


4/ Last last time, my dad saw me talking baby language to Darcy and he called me 'xiao ren' and Darcy 'xiao gou'. Last time, my mum saw my dad talking baby language to Darcy and she looked at dad n shakes her head. Last nite, i caught mum talking baby language to Darcy. Me, i was => -_-!!!


5/ I used to bring Darcy out for a walk about 1-2 times per wk. Now tt my mum had stop working, dad brings Darcy out almost EVERYDAY. I'm serious, ALMOST EVERYDAY. Me, i was => -_-!!!


6/ Note: This is a repeated event. Its does not happen by chance. I was watching tv in e living room, on my fav sofa, relaxing and partially stoning. Suddenly Darcy started barking at dad or mum. Dad will rise/emerge frm wherever he was, stop watever he was doing and scold Darcy den proceed to chase Darcy around the living room. (Note: This is suppose to be a scolding session but turns to playtime for Darcy n dad) Their fav part, is to circle around me, Darcy takes me as his pillor of support, Dad treats me as a trap(to trap Darcy). They will play hide and seek around me and dad frm scolding will become laughing. Me, i was => -_-!!!


7/ Frm Darcy, i learnt that when one become desperate, he can make the impossible possible. Example: Darcy n dad was playing hide and seek around me (as usual). I was sitting on my fav sofa stoning at the tv. Dad had seal up most of Darcy's escape routes. Darcy, unwilling to admit defeat, with his ciga-lookalike-bone hanging frm the side of his mouth suddenly make a jump at me. So sudden was his leap that i raise my arms as a shield for my face thinking that he will smack straight in my face but the next second he was gone. Darcy had jump on to me and flew over the headrest landing on the open space behind my sofa. Dad and i was shocked for a second and for once, Dad declares Darcy the winner of the Day.


8/ For those who knows of my difficulties of getting a dog in the past, wld know tt my dad was the main 'problem'. He was the one who said NO. N he being a person who seldom say NO to me makes this NO a rather significant NO. So, seeing how much he has bonded with Darcy makes me realised that not listening to parents all the time might just be a wise thing to do.

9/ 2 mths back, Dad asked me to take a pict of Darcy n him, just like the black and white photo he had taken with his previous dog. Dad showed me that photo the other nite and i said 'I dun think u can squat tt low now' hahahhaaa... Me was fun..

10/ I borrowed 4 bks frm e library 2 sundays back. Their title being 'Out of the blue - romance in Crete' , 'Anyone but you - romance+dog' , 'Animal's Ppl - True Life Account of an Indian boy in Khaufpur' and lastly 'The women of Pemberley - Sequence to Pride & Prejudice'. When i was loaning this 4 bks, i cant help but feel how diff these 4 bks are. Other than the first 2 where they are romance but one is wrt travel and one is on dog (tt was wat caught my attention). The other is a biography and one is simply a literature. I didnt read the brief outline at e back of e book when i was choosing them, i simply look at the (1)title and colour of e book and (2) flip to the first page and read the first few lines. No point in killing the story by knowing what half the book will be about or when the auther is just nt my cup of tea. So, if the cover is attractive enough and the first few lines dun make me yawn/sleep. Yup, i'd gotten my book.

11/ I started on the dog book first which took me 4 mrt trips to finish. Then the Crete one which took me almost a wk of mrt trip + a friday nite. Now i'm on my Animal's ppl. Its lettering are slightly smaller, the pages are thinner and the book is thicker than e first 2. That was how i decide wat to read first. I'd thought i wldnt be able to survive the first part of the book but i was wrong. This is a good read thou it requires more concentration power than e other 2. But its still an interesting book to read. So, go get it!

12/ Facebook is a dangerous tool. esp if your fellow colleagues n team leader are ur friends. They wld know wat u had been doing last wkend or how drank u were. No good! No excuses to use the next time they ask u to go drinking. I cant say ' ermm.. i dun drink' hahahah

13/ I went to mentoring last sat. Was called up e previous sat by my mentee n asked to come. But who knows, i postpone one tuition and went but he has to go for flag day. Sigh.. I miss mentoring. I miss acting like a 20yrs old and playing w them. Some new mentors even thought tt i was 17. haa.. those was e days.

14/ Watched 'He's not tt into you' some wks back and i strongly reccomend to ALL girls out tt esp for those singles. Cause, i got a wake up call frm it. Seriously. Watch it and u will understand. 2 things every girl shld know: 1. Nv cut ur own fringe. 2. watch e show urself to find out.

Time to sleep! Hope i will update soon!!

oh MarLey... & me..

U guys gonna check this out. Cant wait!!! 26th of Feb.. FINALLY!!!

erm... its been a while and theres so much to update on.. but i DUN NOE WHERE TO START!!!

so, guess its good to do the x random things about me now..

1/ Happy Chinese New Year! This New Year, i lost $4 in total. Winnings are small and losses are BIG!! If i were to include the toto, i lost $9 (at least its my fav #)

2/ Guess what i just bought??? Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 ($120) This lens is suppose to be good for portraits.. Will let you know after this sat!! N, i finally bought my circular Polarising filter for my 58mm lens ($40) woot!! Next on the list is my Fish eye. Was told that the cheapest it can go to is $900+. Jap Yen, Pls drop drop drop!!!

3/ It takes about 2 packs of tissue to dry me body. I forgot to bring my towel on monday when i went swimming. Luckily, for once, i have a pack of tissue in my bag and so does tyl(this is even more surprising!! n better still, its 3-ply).

4/ I went for my photograpgy class BBQ last sat and i got back more than expected. Firstly, aft e BBQ, we were given a FOC Star Trail photography course!!! MY FAV!!!(why else do u think i'm so excited?) N that nite was clear amazing enough as it was still raining and gloomy that noon. Den we went to the Indian Temple opp UE square to take some picts of Thaipusam.

5/ Thaipusam. My first time witnessing this festival. Goodness. Its indeed an eye opener for me. I talked to a nice Indian uncle about this event and he is more than happy to explain to me why some events are happening. I didnt talk to him much as the processes in front of me was more interesting. Luckily that night was not the most 'interesting' time as we did not get to witness those more 'ouch' piercing. I dun think i can take it then.

6/ Planning for our grad trip had finally started. First time i'd be travelling with this bunch of adorable (i cannot not say this.. i wanna stay alive for that 2 wks!!) mates, i wonder wat wld happened. Aft all, all this while, those tideous trips were done with ET and we more or less know what each other want so we know when to give and take. Those relaxing trips were done with xy whom only take n take (frm me while i give n give.. =D) I bo bian. Own her in my last 10 yrs!!! So now, i wonder what is going to happen!! We have a cow who is interested in History, traditions and culture, a CL whose only wishes are to see 'tuan tuan' and 'yuan yuan' and visit 'snoopy hse' (I KNOW.. its so -_-!!!!!) hahaha.. N theres the me, whose only aim is to go take pictures of star trails(planning to get a remote control.. i know.. waste money), sunrise, nite scenery and maybe, perhaps, some human faces in the process.. hahahah Yeah!! Lets have a great trip shall we?

7/ Darcy knows not to disturb me when he sees me sitting in front of my comp. He knows that i will not be bothered by him. He knows he will be scolded and beaten by me if he were to disturb me during my drama hours. But, he still likes to try his luck every other day (wat an optimistic boy!!) by poking my back and trying to drill his snort into my armpit and bite my flabby arms.

8/ To allow myself the pleasure to compose this entry and go thru the picts i took last sat, it cost me one Milk rawhide bone ($3.50 for 2). So, if you wld like to see more entries more frequently, kindly supply me with Milk bones (can be easily purchased in PetLoversCentre)

9/ Last 2 wks, i did something that i'd not done in years. Yes, i mopped the floor of our living rooms, dinning room and my room. For 2 consequtive wks!!! I wonder wats happening.

10/ Well, since x=10 for now. This will be it!!

Great nite everyone!!

This was wat made my day..

Went to the nearby supermkt on the way home to get some treats for myself and i come across this. At first i thought that i'd gotten the name wrong all this while only to realise tt this is not my mistake but theirs. Or maybe, this is really what it should be than what it used to be, or maybe, this is their new label. hhahaha

U guys able to spot the *mistake* here?

Just another nite

Been realising that e peeps around me are mostly attached, seeing someone, having someone or at least liking someone.. whereas, i'm still me.

N the surprising thing is i'm actually alrite about it. I dun wish for any special one in fact i cant even think of any one to wish for. I really cant.. -_- which is pretty sad for once..

But i still have one fear. That is, when everyone, i mean EVERYONE around me are attached and have no time for me then i think i will start to fall apart.

They always say that no matter what, attached or not they will alway have time for their friends. But face it dear friends, once you are attached, your freetime just diminishes and the avil time for friends might change from once a wk to once every half a year. Not complaining here. After all, we had all been there and done that. Just, dun keep saying 'I'll surely have time for you' when seriously we both know that this is just another empty promise you are making.

So dear friends, enjoy your relationship and dun feel bad towards your friends, because you know what, FRIENDS are not the ones who will walk with you till the end of your life, the special one beside you NOW might just be it.

Enjoy =)

Darcy. Walk. Sleep.

Darcy n i went for a stroll+ brisk walk+run just now. It took us about 45mins to circle around the RICH neighbour (some houses really look nice n big close up).

We came back at about 10pm, wiped his feet, drank some water and i gave him his new fav red ball with a treat stuck inside.

One minute he was still trying to figure out how to take out the treat and the next minute when i look at him, he was asleep (roast pig style) with the red ball directly infront of him and the treat still intact.

Haa.. The walk must had wore him out!! Which is good!!!!

Remember 10 promises to my dog?

1. Please have patience when dealing with me.

2. Place your trust in me. Through good and bad times, I will always be by your side.

3. Never forget that I have a heart too… just like you.

4. Whenever I don’t listen to what you say, always remember that there is a reason.

5. Talk to me. I may not understand all your words but I understand your voice when it speaks
to me.

6. Let’s not fight. Remember that I could hurt (bite) you but have chosen never to do so.

7. Even when I grow in age (and probably grow slow or weak), please be kind to me.

8. My life may not last as long as yours. Please make every second we spend together count.

9. You may have other friends, other activities. Please remember that for me, there’s only you.

10. When I leave this world, promise me you’ll be by my side. Remember all the times we shared and remember always that I love you.

on photography

i was looking at picts tt my photography coursemates had took when they went for recent outings and i have to admit tt most looks damn good.

I think its time that i take out my dslr frm its fridge and start putting it to good use.

I need to go out there!!

hey bros.. lets go to RP Park soon!!!

*****

I just realise tt the Olivia in my imeem list is the Olivia Ong who sang the Little Nyonya song. N i just realise tt she's a singaporean who is 2 yrs n 2 days younger den me.

All along, i'd thought that she's Olivia Chan (dun noe frm where one...), even in my folder she's known as Olivia Chan. Even when my fav song for the past 1yr plus is 'Sometimes when we touch' by her and i'd loop it always, i still didnt realised that they are the same Olivia.

Check out her Bossa Novas that i'd like so much here.

*****

Found out that Marley and Me will only be out in end of Feb. Just like P.S I love you 1 yr ago.. WHYYYYY??????

Happy Belated New Year to ALL!!

wooHH... n 2009 is here.. (damn.. there goes my dream of getting married on 090909, thou i still have 9mths to work on it.. who knows.. maybe i wld just meet the someone on that infamous bridge during my grad trip ie 10 yrs late.. ya.. dream on mate!!.. or maybe Mr **** will take pity on me and accept my proposal to ROM with me and apply for a HDB and den we will divorce 5 yrs later. I promise i wont ask for 'shan yang fei'!! haahhaa...)

enought of these crap...

So, w/out further ado, lets all put our hands together and welcome back MY 2008 resols, (yeah!!!)

(1) Travel. My aim is Tibet/ Vietnam/Sipandan/ China/ Taiwan. Any 2 is fine.
(2) Lose Weight. Aim will be 50kg. Thats 8kg. A recent medical check up shows that i'd nt lost any weight since i got back and had instead shrink 0.5cm. Damn. I shld go for it before lunch lor..
(3) Dog. Get a pup with melting eyes.
(4) Get insurance or financial planner.
(5) Save $5k by end of year?.. Too little or too much? hmm.. I think i need tuition. Lobangs anyone?

And, what have i accomplish thus far???
(1) Travel?? I did Vietnam. Taiwan will be in 09. Other than that, i been to Perth and BKK and numerous short trip+day trips over the causeway. So yup, i dare say i'd TRAVELLED.
(2) Lose Weight? ermm.. Some times slightly more than half but the lightest i'd been so far is only 53.5kg. So.. lets say i'm just half way to my aim. (CL: u win la.. hahaha..)
(3) Dog. Do i need to say anymore??? D.O.N.E
(4) Insurance. B.I.N.G.O.
(5) $5k.. ermm.. does assets count? If so i guess i'd accomplish it. Otherwise, consider it half done ba..

In short, those that had been uncompleted shld be in my 2009 resol list.. yeahh....

(DRUMROLL... -_-!!... hahahaha)

My 2009 resols,
(1) Lose weight. Ideal is 50kg though some say i wld look like a pack of bones but i'm sure there will be more than tt.. (just realise tt this had been in my resols for e past 2 yrs.. saded.. )
(2) Save $10k by end of year. And this time, it will not include assets or vacation trips. It must be in e form of cold hard cash!!

... shit.. i'm having trouble finding resols.. meaning tt i have no goals in life anymore!! oh no!!

(3) Sign up Darcy for Obedience Class.. (i wonder if this counts..)
(4) .... i really cant think of any..

I will update my resols again when i can think of any.. My aim is to set 5 resols!!! This is getting hard!!!

nt funny..

Its not funny when ur pet dog suddenly stop whatever its doing and stare at the window and started barking.

N its SERIOUSLY, NOT.FUNNY esp when you are watching some ghost show and alone at home.

SO.NOT.FUNNY

My happy song..

Guess everyone will have their own fav songs of the moment. U can be crazy over one song now and loop it every single day for the next one wk and den suddenly one day when u wake up, u realise tt today, u have another song u like.

My happy song for the moment is one that i'd kept hearing for the past few months yet have no idea what's the title till the BKK trip. N thanks to penguin Bob, i even have the MP3.

'I'm Yours' is my happy song because every time i hear it i feel happy. Simple as that.

It wakes me up as i walk thru the city link to my office. It comfort me as i walk home frm the train station every evening. Just somehow, its catchy light hearted tune caught my ears and it is, for the time being, myhappysong.

Just the other day, i was still thinking that it would make a very pleasing song for a wedding and who knows, that following sunday at the wedding i went to, they use it for their montage. Which in my case, makes an already relax and sweet wedding even sweeter.

Thou i have whats the lyrics in this song means and even after googling it and reading and re-reading it several times, i still have no idea what the whole song means, i still like it, veryverymuch.

Anyway, here goes.. My happy song

I'm yours (Jason Mraz)

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but your so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks, now I'm tryin to get back

before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my bestest

and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more,

no more, it cannot wait

I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

open up your plans and damn you're free

look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing

We are just one big family

And it's your godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,

no more, it cannot wait i'm sure

there's no need to complicate our time is short

this is our fate

I'm yours

Scooch on over closer, dear

And I will nibble your ear

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror

and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer

But my breath fogged up the glass

and so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason

to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons

it's what we aim to do our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more

it cannot wait

I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

open up your plans and damn you're free

look into your heart and you will find that the sky is yours

so please don't, please don't, please don't,

there's no need to complicate,

Cause our time is short

This, this, this is our fate,

I'm yours
