Goodbye blogspot. It was great blogging here... i really do think that blogspot's the best free blogging site around... user-friendly, easy to customize the html codes, has my favourite Trebuchet font, but it's time to move on. Will be keeping this site, of 'cos, with it's beautiful template and all... but for updates, pls. chk out my new site. :)

Just went downstairs to check on Pinky. He didn't touch the food in his cage from the time we said goodnight at 10:25pm. My dad said that he should have recovered his appetite because he started munching grass at 6:30pm. He also took a few bites of his pellets. (I didn't witness that for myself because i went to the hospital with Cirrus, who fractured his finger while playing soccer last

I just entered my bathroom to shower when i saw this HUGE cockroach on my mirror!! "ARGHHHHHH!!!!!" I screamed, ran out of the toilet, grabbed the insecticide, and opened the toilet door stealthily and took a peep at the cursed roach. It was perched on my mirror, above my toothbrush. As quietly as i could, i took my toothbrush out of the toilet. Then i took a breath to calm myself down, and

Pinky - refusing to eatPinky's not eating nor drinking. Had to coax/force him to take in some food yesterday and he ate - approx. 10 celery leaves, 6 strands of hay, and 2 shreds of carrot the whole of yesterday. That's very very little. A celery leaf is like 2cm x 1cm in size... and a shred of carrot... think the small pieces u find in your popiah.I called the vet for advice just now. The

I think Pinky is an absolutely intelligent little bunny. Last night, when i let him out of his cage for our nightly bonding session, i told him that he was going for his snip snip operation on Tue. He seemed nochalant about it but apparently, my dad saw him trying to mount Horlicks repeatedly this morning!! It got so bad that my dad locked Horlicks up for most of the day, and he only let

Hehe.I bought this pretty linen dress from Warehouse (to be worn for some upcoming weddings - so frens attending the same weddings as me, please don't buy the same dress. I chope first!), i bought a white top from Lver, a beige jacket & skirt matching suit from Southaven

I consider myself quite an authority on bras... strapless bras to be specific 'cos i've been on a hunt for good ones for years. The biggest curse of being busty is not being able to find a strapless bra that'll hold!Recently, i was introduced to this backless strapless bra by my colleague. It holds itself to your body by an adhesive backing that is reusable up to a couple of hundred washes.

Ah... the very first English song on my blog! This is a now not so new song by Daniel Bedingfield (i'm not sure if he ever released another album after his 1st) but i like the tune a lot. Heh. Enjoy...The title is If You're Not the One. Oh wait... i just googled... he's still in the market... www.danielbedingfield.com (what a name!)Anyway, it's been an exciting day today... (or rather yesterday).

There's been this furore in Hongkong recently, sparked off by a video clip taken using a hp on a public bus. Apparently, this middle-aged man was talking very loudly on his hp while on the bus. A young man seated behind the middle-aged man then pat his shoulder and asked him to lower his voice. This pissed the middle-aged man off and he then scolded the young man for a good 6 minutes...

A tenant threatened legal action against me today. What happened was this. His lease ended on 7 May 2006 and when the developer took over the apartment, they found that there was standing lamp missing as per the inventory list signed last year. The tenant, Puerile Downs then said that there never was a standing lamp in the apartment and that i, as the developer's agent had said that i would

A few people have actually asked me what's the moral of the story and i told them that they were supposed to come to that conclusion themselves.But, since more than 1 person asked, i shall post my answers here: 1) Our parents will always want the best for us, though they may not necessarily know what we want.2) Humans are very 范贱.

Last nite, my parents & i were ordering dessert during dinner when i said i wanted cold cheng teng. My dad said that cold cheng teng not worth it, because it's more ice than the dessert itself. He said it was better to order the hot one, and let it cool down over dinner. But i insisted that i wanted cold cheng teng 'cos i don't like hot cheng teng!So what's the moral of the story here?

海的思念绵延不绝 终于和天在地平线交会 爱如果走得够远 应该也会跟幸福相见 承诺常常很像蝴蝶 美丽的飞盘旋然后不见 但我相信你给我的誓言 就像一定会来的春天 我始终带着你爱的微笑 一路上寻找我遗失的美好 不小心当泪滑过嘴角 就用你握过的手抹掉 再多的风景也从不停靠 只一心寻找我遗失的美好 有的人说不清哪里好 但就是谁都替代不了 在最开始的那一秒有些事早已经注定要到老 虽然命运爱开玩笑真心会和真心遇到 Really like the lyrics of this song. Couldn't quite decide whose version to put on my blog - Kelly Poon's, or Zhang Shao Han. In the end, i decided to go with the former... smaller file size...

I just made a majorly stupid mistake. I forgot to pay my credit card bills. And got charged $75. It would have been only $25... but 'cos i thought i paid my bills, when i didn't.. so all 3 cards got levied a $25 late charge, adding up to $75.Which is DAMN FREAKING STUPID of me. I should've just kept to using 1 card... but i had to go use all 3. Idiotic right? Itchy backside lah!I use the

It was raining heavily this evening so my dad locked Pinky & Horlicks in the same cage to stop them from playing in the rain. When my dad went to feed them dinner at about 9:30pm, my dad saw Pinky mounting Horlicks. Sigh. The time has come. Pinky has to go for his snip snip once he recovers from his cold. I don't think we could cope with a 6th rabbit! Hope the op doesn't come too late and

Muah Chee & Peanut stay in the 1st section, which is at the start of the side yard. There's a fence that seperates their territory from the frontyard. This is to prevent them

Pinky went on a hunger strike today. He didn't want to eat his pellets during breakfast so before i left for work, i tried to feed him some carrot shreds. He ate 7 short shreds of carrot.My dad said he didn't really touch his lunch either. Dinner was slightly better... he ate some pellets (according to my dad) and so my dad topped up his food tray with pellets & thin strips of celery in case

Pinky hates me now. :( Pinky has been having a slight cold since last Sunday. At first, i thought he was better so i cancelled this morning's appointment with the vet. However, after reaching home just now, i saw that he still had this white gooey mucus and was still sneezing a little so i brought him down to the vet. Not sure why but Pinky was quite scared by the car ride this time. Maybe
