- last saturday was well spent, i guess. minus the salon time. Karen's business is F good in weekends. better than most salons. You get to learn alot of things when you are doing your hair and listening to their conversations.
We reached Karen's at 4pm and ended the whole thing at 9pm. Headed for dinner at yishun central where all shops are closing. So, we turned to Swensens. I had Caesars salad and Mag had salmon spaghetti. We both shared a macademia nut ice cream. sucks bigtime. haigen's taste better trillon times. Swensens's ice cream can be really disgusting. After dinner, all of us head off to Fred's house. Apparently, his friends had not been to his new house so all of them intended to go over last minute. Mag tagged along too! :) That's alot of people! luxurious house, right?
there isn't many happening things recently. Another thing about SaSa. She had gastric problem. Doc said she needs 2 meals a day but she always refrain herself from eating 2 meals. prolonged hunger=gastric issues. So, she kept puking and puking till we have to rush her to joyous vet again. the doc was damn sarcastic. when we entered the consultation room, she asked, " so what happened to sasa? ate chocolate again?". We were like totally taken aback by her sacarsm cos we did not expect that. in the middle of consultaion, she said, " wah she is just a puppy and you all only feed her once a day?! torturing ah!" . ( in mandarin) Like, WTF. we feed her twice but she just refuse to eat in the day. And, alot more that she said in such a way that you would think back and feel like bashing her. But well, what matters most is she can make SaSa feel better. It has been a few days now since the consultation and SaSa is all better now and has started to accept food in the day. :) And oh ya! She able to jump onto bed now and every morning she would greet me with kisses. :) how sweet right..
Bestie, you should go back and read our blog which we setted up in 2005. It's still there! haha.

- Friday the 13th!
And, tomorrow is a Saturday! This Saturday is gonna be a special day cos it's gonna be a day spent at the salon with bestie + dinner and chill. It has been so long since we last did this together. Like, just both of us only. Rare situation ever since you and I have been attached. And now, you are tying the knot! So god damn fast! Perhaps you will have kids the next time we do this again. haha!
Talking about kids. I really dread kids cos sometimes they can be such a nuisance! They can hang around for HOURS pestering you, touching things, doing things that they weren't supposed to do. Like, HELLO to whoever your parents are, our shop is not a childcare centre. fuck off kids! don't make me hate kids ok. I want to have my own next time and I will definitely make sure my kids are not brought up this way. I know. Some people is gonna say, " hey you were kids once and you know, kids are like that... bla bla bla..". Hell no ok! I am not like that when I was young. I would cry and say no to my dad if he were to buy me something. I would not hang around in a shop without my parents and ask for markers to draw on the shop's whiteboard. Or or.. even carry the owner's dog withour permission. or even try to act boss. FUCK OFF you kid! first came a china kid who came to our shop every day without fail cos her mum's salon is just a few units away. Apparently, she's not very good with books and is hanging around with the wrong company and is under probation etc. problematic child. And, one fine day, drama happened. She came to our shop in tearSS. Like WTF, I wouldn't cry like a baby and go to someone's shop and complain or seek help. Then, she said her mum don't understand her cos she's having fever for a few days and her mum insist that she goes to school and told her she dont need a doctor bla bla bla. ( it was the H1N1 period mind you) shortly after she came in crying, her furious mother came in and they started screaming at the top of their voice in our shop!!!!!! WTF!!! from then on, I really hate kids. the girl then disappeared for 1 week or so. and she came after that saying that she had gotten the H1N1 virus. Oh i see... so your fever was the starting stage and during that stage, you came to our shop 3 days in a row and your FUCKING mum did not even have the courtesy and responsibilty to let us know you had it so that we would be aware that if we have any symptoms it might be the H1N1 from you!!! triple 'fuck you' to both you and your mum. to hell you natives. so sometimes, we cant blame singaporeans from disliking and opposing more cheena people coming over cos cheena people are rude, brainless, inconsiderate, noisy etc. you name it, they've got it!
yaya our ancestors are from china bla bla... ya, so what? we are now singaporean. different upbringing so stop saying things like we should respect people from cheena when they don;t even have the simplest respect for animals. How many times have you seen animal cruelty videos shot in China? countless. for fur, for meat, for money, they kill. to hell you guys go ok.
i am so furious now.

- NOW YOU KNOW THE PRICE TO PAY
Last week, SaSa did something very foolish. Or, should I say ate something very foolish. She dug out a packet of fun-sized pack m&m and finished the whole packet while we left the car! I zipped my bag ok. She went to unzipped it. she even took out a packet of tissue paper to wipe her messy fur full of chocolate. smart.
I immediately called her vet but they were closed at 9pm but she recommended to go to joyous vet which closes at 10pm so we rushed there. she was classified as emergency and the vet took her in without having to queue. she flush her with concentrated salt water cos this will make her puke. But, everytime she wanted to puke, she will swallow back. disgusting. So, the vet mixed a more concentrated solution and this time round... she puke all the chocolate out until her discharge was clear. thereafter, she went for drip to replenish all the h20 lost.
The vet even mentioned that she would lose her appitite and mood to play tonight. However, once we reached home, she started begging for food and ate more than usual. play harder than usual. haha.
I hope she remembers she had a hard time on the vet's table trying to puke all her mischef out.
- Felt so good! (POSTED 1 WEEK AGO)
You know it has been like forever since I last slept till 11am? needless to say 1230pm today! I feel so recovered from all those lack of sleep for the past 11months. It has been hectic especially for these 2 months due to some 6am alarm. I am really someone who will lose my temper without enough sleep. My perception of ‘enough sleep’ was at least 10 hours everyday but now, 8 hours would be a bonus. so bloody torturing. haha but well, at least I am my own boss. ;) pros and cons.
I want my necklace! shuai.. Sis and I bought 4 customised necklaces from a blogshop. And, they got my design wrong! So, I have to wait for the next spree etc etc. though the owner was very kind and helpful but I felt that she could have done more cos ultimately it’s partially her fault too. Oh well, just hope that the necklace arrive before 12/12 which is my cousin’s wedding.
SaSa has been dropping alot of teeth these few days and it’s pretty scary. like 2 dropped today. And, that’s perhaps why her appetite is not very good these few days. I Have to feed her petlac mixed with her dry food so that it’s not that tough for her to chew. petlac is formulated milk powder which smells like pastry. weird.
- A long time back.. (POSTED 1 WEEK AGO)
We went to Seoul Garden last thursday for dinner buffet cos mummy has a birthday voucher from singtel which gives a forth person free dine-in when 3 pays. So, mum, sis, fred and me went. I has been like 600-1000years ago since I last ate Seoul Garden. It is still exactly the same with maybe more fried food added on the cooked food area? And, more condiments? And and, more ingredients for a better self-mix ice- kachang? the rest are booo. the meat is too salty and not amazing. the tom yam meat is not bad. All in all, I think I will go back again! after 600-1000 years that is.you will totally not miss (As in, ‘i miss you’ that miss) the food for the next 500 years at least.
it has been pouring these few days and making me sleepy in the day. the weird thing is that I seem more awake in the night. I think most people feel this way too. there are more enjoyable things to do at night maybe that is why you won’t feel like sleeping. you can watch tv, play games, fool SaSa etc. so many things to do! Talking about games.. I am currently hooked onto the mahjong game available via facebook. i think it’s called godgame or something. It is from Taiwan. Thou yes, it’s mahjong and yes, concept same as viwawa but the experience is much better there! Viwawa is kinda like… lifeless? i don’t know how to describe the difference but the new one is much fun. give it a try if you have the time. worth it!
Oh and my bestie is getting married this coming boxing day! so fast.. We were still thinking back the other day about how carefree we were and how fun it is to be single, available and open for courtship! lol. time flies and now she is getting married. I am really happy for you bestie cos I know you have found love. Steven will treat you well otherwise, alot of people will bash him up. haha! can’t wait for the big day!

SaSa just dropped her very first milk tooth on 25th October 2009 (In case I forget)! I was feeding her some treats when I realised that one of her tooth on the lower jaw was shaking. I held her and took a closer look and saw some blood on the gum of the tooth which is falling. we attempted to pull it off but she was screeching whenever we try to grab her tiny tooth. So we gave up. I was looking at her when she decided to pick up a towel to play. The moment she took it up and swing, I realised something just flew out from her mouth and I immediately concluded that he tooth flew off. And true enough, we found her tooth on the floor! how cute! wonder how to preserve it.
Day boarding for this cute little 8 mths old duschund which looks smaller than SaSa which is 5 months old. They are now in the play area chasing each other and biting each other. How fun? so anyway, hope this helps SaSa from being so agressive next time when she meets other dogs.
Feel like travelling again. No time to spare. No money to spend. yawn! Off to play mahjong. Online.
- Oh so you really did it! (POSTED 2 WEEKS AGO)
I heard that the groomer really did hit Junior on the head causing its death. Indeed, I saw an article regarding his confession. How idiotic can he get? He used his clipper to hit Junior’s head! He must be nuts. Perhaps yes, the dog is very agressive and very incooperative but no, you have no right to treat it this way or to use such methods to force it to cooperate! There are still many ways to pacify the dog.
For me, I would communicate with the dog and gently groom the dog. the tougher you get, more the agressive the dog becomes. If the dog is too agressive such that it starts to hurt me, I will most probably call the owner to pick up the dog and advise them to look for a more suitable groomer. No point taking the risk.
I also realised that the groomer of strawberry told the owner to come pick up his dog 1 hour later. 1 hour is a very very short time for the groomer to do full groomer. I supposed Junior should be doing full grooming otherwise the groomer wouldn’t have needed to pick up the clipper. so.. maybe that’s also why the groomer needs the dog to really cooperated cos he has only got 1 hour to finish his work. why give yourself such a time limit to do things so rush? sigh.. it costs Junior’s life.
———————-
I just had my lunch and before that was bathing for Milo. He’s like the most obedient dog ever! His granny also compliment him of being very intelligent! maybe it’s inborn. I heard that lhasa apso breed is recarnation of a monk. Is that why it’s always so calm and clever? Milo comes for a routine bath once every week on sundays. I guess I had better take a photo of him and post it up here before he move over to syndey next year for good.
Oh and yes! the boarding dog has left! so happy cos it’s making a din. EVERYDAY. EVERY MOMENT. AND WE ARE F PISSED WITH THE NOISE HE IS CAUSING. But overall, he’s 1 fine dog which listens as you speak.

1) replenish my facial stuff by next week
2) dye my hair by dec
TC!
WHITE, FLUFFY LOVE (POSTED 2 WEEKS AGO)
I just simply love baby SaSa! She’s the most adorable, attention-seeking, feet-biting furball I have ever met!
Fred and me brought her to ECP on Tuesday hoping to meet other dogs so that she can learn how to mingle cos as of now, all she do is bark and growl at other dogs. It’s a bad sign (I read from somewhere) cos she will grow up to be very difficult to handle. She seem to have a thing about other dogs that she has to be so fierce. no idea why.. Can’t fork out the time to bring her to ECP on Sundays thou. There are usually more dogs on Sundays.
Back to Tuesday. Yes, we went to ECP and indeed we saw 1 golden approaching and yes too, she started growling. She barked so fiercely that the golden looks so confused and into defence mode. Sign. it takes time!
Brought her back for a trim down of her fur and have a hair cut cos her fringe is covering her eyes badly. I personally do not like maltese with short fringe cos they will look weird from the side though it will look very cute from the front. But, no choice, have to cut cos she can’t seem to see.
Glad. She still look so lovely after the cut! love her to the max!
Too bad she is not by our side now cos she has to be at home until monday. The dog placed here for boarding seems very unfriendly. resulted from not being able to mingle around with other dogs since young. I don’t want SaSa to be like this in the future! gosh.
I can’t imagine my puppy dying due to some accident. just 2 days ago, while travelling along lim chu kang road, we witnessed a dog being ran-over by a car. It wasn’t the driver’s fault. There were a about 6-8 cars on the road travelling at around 70-90km/hr when suddenly a black dog dashed out from the left running across 4 lanes. All the drivers braked to slow down and avoided the black dog and all of a sudden another brown dog ran out attempting to chase after the black dog. BANG! the brown dog down. eyes wide open, belly up with hind leg kicking in the air. I think it’s not gonna make it cos the impact was quite big. I saw the driver drove to the shoulder but am not sure what he did after that. Perhaps he called ava to check on the dog. No idea. It’s very sad and especially sad when you have a fur-kid of your own. I can only hope that the black dog is fine.
I read an article today about the grooming incident which led to the death of a 3 year old maltese. It’s again another heart-aching incident. No one except the groomer and perhaps the boss knows what exactly happened during the grooming session. Picking up grooming has taught me alot of stuffs that I have never knew. I can understand how tough it is to groom a dog cos some dogs tend to be more playful or more agressive than others. It takes time to groom a dog. Most owners just want a cheap and fast grooming service. Nothing good comes cheap and fast. This is a very simple and logical sentence. Things that are cheap and done fast usually have flaws. I am not saying that all fast groomers use harmful methods to make the dogs cooperate cos i have seem many good examples of being fast and efficient. What I am trying to say is that every dog’s character varies. On top of that, dogs are living things which has moods. A groomer can’t guarantee the duration of the grooming session cos most dogs needs to be coax. many considerations like, character of the dog, mood of the dog and dogs dislike to cut nails, bathe or even blow-drying. All these are why groomers need more time to comfort the dog.
Anyway, my condolences to the owner of Junior. I hope she finds peace.

- Look how much I have neglected my blog! It's amazing how time flies! I have promised myself to upload my 21st birthday's photos but can't seem to find time to do it. Now, my 22nd birthday is approaching in less than 1 month! No wonder they say, " Time flies after 21 years old. In one blink you will be in your 3os." Holy.. I somehow believe in this now.
On the positive side, I have just stepped into my prime years where everything should be on the peak. I would not say that my life is on its peak as there are still much more room for improvement.
Compared to many of my friends, I chose a different path of life. My closer friends would definitely know that I have quitted NUS to help with my boy's company. More than a year has past and I must say I have learnt quite alot from this experience. Many would ask me whether I ever regretted quitting school for this and my answer would be,' There's no form of regret in this situation as you have to sacrifice something in order gain something. Yes, I have lost a chance of pursuing a degree in one of the top uni but I have also gained an experience which is hard to come-by." What have I to lose? In fact, I enjoyed all the time I spent working hard.
Choosing a different path has led me to realised that I have choosen a schedule unpairable with my friends and thus, I have gradully lost the fun and madness of being a 21 year old. I always thought, if only I have more time to spare then I can balance between work and play. Well, dream on is always the reply. ha
Many things have changed in 2009. One year ago, I am still celebrating my 21st birthday in Sentosa with some of my closest friends and within this 1 year, there have been many big changes.
I do hope that everything works out well for this 'new' start. :)
And, I hope you, my friend, is doing great in your life. Enjoying every minute.

- I miss Vietnam!! I wanna go again!! A few months back Wilfred, me and 2 of his friends (both age 40 and above) went to Vietnam and we love it! ( The 2 aunties might not like it but both Wilfred and me definitely wish to be there again or perhaps to Hanoi since we've already visited HCM. But, I know we won't be able to travel for at least the next 8 months or so cos Wilfred will soon be starting work bla bla bla with the probation period bla bla bla so how to take leave? =(
Oh well! At least we had quite abit of fun for the past year! We have travelled to 3 different countries together within this one and a half years. 3 months to Melbourne, 1 week to Thailand, 1 week plus to Vietnam. Personally, I love the Vietnam trip most and I don't know why is that so. I can't imagaine myself being borned in Vietnam thou. Think about it, no convenience store in sight or anywhere near the hotel. Lets say, you happen to have your menses and you don't happen to have any more pads... OMFG where's the NEAREST STORE?! hahaha.. you can only get it at some store in their shopping mall. And, how many shopping malls are there in HCM? Not many, really. Nonetheless, HCM is a place worth going. Definitely, escpecially before it establish to become a place like Singapore where kids know nothing about playing marbles, hopscotch or even 5 stones anymore. It's the psp and DS lite which occupies most of many children's childhood memories. Pretty sad.
Talking about Vietnam.. I remember my most fearful thing before arriving there was their traffic. Friends kept telling me that the trafiic there is horrifying and it requires alot of courage to brave across a street. It is in fact, horrifying and very noisy! Basically, every household in HCM owns at least 4 motorcycles. You just have to multipy and put the numbers on the roads and you know what i'm talking about. LOL. Everytime Wilfred and me cross any road, our hands will be so tightly held and our palms will perspire split seconds before we cross even the shortest distance.
I think everyone whould go Vietnam at least once within this 5 years. =)
Festive season is right up and i'm pretty happy and excited as it's time to get together again! Christmas would be a gathering with friends. New Year and Chinese New Year would usually with family. This year's New Year Eve Countdown would be something different and new for both Wilfred an me cos I have got tixs to Mediecorp countdown party at Vivo! A part of me looking forward to it while another part of me dread to be in the CROWD.
I think i will blog again soon! Our bunnies have given birth! Anyone wanna but Netherland Dwarfs? LOL..
