Scratch!!

We ate a bunch of unusual foods last Saturday and now my back's so itchy!! Baby's got it all over his arms, poor monkey. Was it the jellyfish?? The green tea cocktail?? Whatever~~ but man, I really didn't expect the allergy to last that long... it's been like two whole days!! ......(-_-)......

Maybe it's the AOE.. I think we overdosed on that alright. Heehee.

~Tomorrow's my first tennis lesson. When do you think i'll be a champion? 'Tis sooner every second... muahahhahaha.

Where is the banana?

Q: Where is the banana?
A: What banana?

Lesson: If you don't understand the question, answer with another question.

Heard today~ :D

Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.

Peace

... comes from within, when your heart is calm. I'm savouring every bit of it now, listening to good ole' Andre Hehanusa's "Karena Kutahu Engkau Begitu" in my quiet little room, with my hair tucked in a fluffy towel, stepping out of a steamy hot shower (best for tired eyes!). All I need now is a dollop of Satsuma.. mmm.

Not unlike a smashed out n super-buggy code

A man who's been in coma for months and unresponsive for 10 years suddenly came to and communicated with his family for 17 hours before falling back into a 30-hr sleep... what an amazing journey. The brain is still one big mystery! Check out the full story.

Doggie Days

I seem to keep bumping into lovely babies this week! One day on the way to lunch in Tiong Bahru Plaza, we saw a pair of what looks like Old English Sheepdogs resting happily on the ground floor beside their human. One of them actually walked over to me and silently asked for a pat!! wahahahaha~~~~ that was **so** sweet. They were huge and so huggable with their long fluffy coat. It must be pretty hot in it though. The owner guy told me he got one of them locally, and the other from a breeder in Aussie. I wonder where those breeders are in Singapore... would love to visit one one day. Would love to be one, actually... one day, hahahaha.

Yesterday morning on the way to work, an 11-month Golden Retriever called me over to play with her too. She was all thrilled when I went over and so was I! Her owner was a guy in his late 20s; I wonder why he wasn't on his way to work like everyone else that morning. Anyway silly me ended up missing the bus... which passed by when I was busy assessing a very noticeable spot of doggie-saliva on my jeans. (Eeek, I know, but luckily u can't see it when it's dry.. haha!! Just that I came to work with doggie smell, I guess. Yes.. eeek, but well, it's worth it~~)

I **so** want a dog!! But I'm so not gonna get one. Not after what happenned to my dear beloved Austin von Ieller.

my poor little veins..

The Doc lady said, "They're so small, dear girl~" so she tried using a tiny needle to draw my precious........ not a good idea! "Ai~ why ur blood so thick ah girl~~~ I have to change a bigger needle now..." Aaaa~~~~~~~~ and so now each of my arms has a lovely purple dot on that favourite spot.

Love love love.... I luv flychess n bejewelled! hahahaha~~~ old habits die hard... nite nitezzz!! Sweet days ahead :)

Ya yayayayayaya!!

That's wat he likes to say when excited in a happy mood... hahahaha.

Friday nite brought good ole' friends together for dinner n karaoke. Some awful singers there especially yours truly.. hahahhaha. We definitely proved that you don't have to be good to have some fun!

Sat nite was wonderfully romantic right after the party ended. Baby n I walked along Sg river n around Esplanade n had a pretty good chat about so many different topics (i.e. nothing)... revisiting lotsa sweet memories n imagining some crazy philosophical stuff on the future of humankind. It was a rare ocassion indeed, considering his default reaction to any kind of philosophical talk is a big fake yawn... hahahahaha

Oh yeah we had a dinner n dance before that, although nobody danced in the end... people marched away in droves as soon as the last lucky draw winner was announced!! What a sorry sight for the organisers n MC... hahahaha.. speaking of which, Justin was really good!!! It's the first time I've ever sat for more than 4 hrs for dinner n not long for dessert and the way out. He was such a good entertainer who engaged the audience so much that lotsa people actually forgot to eat. I'm not kidding!! :D

Sunday's ok; I decided it was time to (finally!) make the cooling orange jelly from the powder I bought months ago. I kept sneezing the whole day n really hope that no virus of any kind found its way from me to the jelly... heeeheeehheeee~~~~~~ no no dun tell baby; he'd just gulped the last piece! haha... let everyone have the sweet dreams they deserve tonite, ok? :)

Monday is coming... chaaaargeeee!!!!

smart clock

super cute!!! :D

Check it out: spark.clocky

i want one... :)

super productive weekend :D

Yay~~~!!!

Juz did some work for dad's inventory system. Feeling surprisingly good these days.. maybe juz coz of how much good stuff I did this weekend?! Heehee~~~

Yah, yesterday was Avril Lavigne's concert in the Sg indoor stadium. It was good to see her life although the concert experience reached only like 85% of my expectations. Maybe we shd've gotten standing tickets?? And there were so many little kids around!! Gah~~ =O ~~ heheee... anyways, the nite itself was good esp coz I got to know mr M better i guess.. was fun talkin to him about pretty much everything.. :). Plus, I could tell baby was missing me the whole nite from the look on his face... wahahahaha... sweet baby =p

Spent an hour Saturday afternoon proof-reading my friend's really good hyp report, n some time later reassuring her that it is really good! hehee.. I know how it feels juz days from the presentation; was worried whether I could make it too last time~~ but all will be well, girl!! :)

Went to the dentist to check baby's teeth today.. a little piece fell out the other day after some heavy snacking. We thought it would be a just quick little fix, but he ended up filling 3 different holes instead!! Baby came out with a hurt-bunny look... haha~~~ so cute.

Spent some time on the phone with Mom today; the new printer seems to be giving her lotsa trouble at home. It's amazing how good she is with sms n msn though!! :)

Tried the new aerobics video today. Ouch!! My tummy's all tough now... or not, hahaha~~~

Sweet dreams! :)

Monday Oranges~~

Err... just to not say blues.. :p

I'm fighting the flu now and 've been feeling sleepy the w..h..o..l..e.. day.... and everything seems to move so s..l..o..w.. especially my reaction and anything that requires using my brain!! :s The only thing that kept me excited was to think of going to c Avril Lavigne life this Sat... hahahaHAHAHA. :D and so nice of mr M to go with me :) If only the happy zoo bunch would go too!!

Happy thoughts... happy thoughts.... mmm let me remember Friday nite's loud party in mr K's place, felt so nice to be in such good company! Met lady R, a very nice n pretty nus friend I haven't seen for like 4 yrs~~ haha... small world, small world. Also met my ex-senior from KE7, a babe with sexy dance moves.. :) thinking of dancing, i'm pretty sure everyone had a wonderful time dancing (or watching :D) life indian dance that nite. Mr K's sound system was damn powerful too, lucky for us his neighbours didn't call the cops.. ahhahaha

Saturday me n baby had a really long talk. It was good for us and all's well that ends well I guess. Baby's been askin me to fix him a screwdriver almost daily ever since I bought the 1.9L tropicana. Shd I be worried? But then orange juice is good for you, right? and absolut mandrin fills only a fraction of the cup.. haha~~ trying to rationalize things here.

Ahh... who wants to see the ramblings of a half-sleeping dreamer. I'm off to bed..... to bed, for now :)

I want a greyhound to hug me sleep!! haha~~

Space

Kahlil Gibran, "The Prophet" : On Marriage

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
