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

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...

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.

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...

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

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

I've always been very apathetic about politics - locally and overseas till this latest General Election. Reason for this is most likely because this is the first time i got to vote and so i never really bothered to think about which party i would want to vote for.

I used to let Pinky run about the dining room a bit after his meals, for exercise. And boy can he scamper! This video was taken on 31 Jan 2006.

This is one of the first few videos i took of Pinky, on 26 Jan 2006. Pinky was only 10 days old! Heh.. he's like struggling to walk on the floor, and the bed. Cute.

Ah... i finally got round to looking for websites to host videos, so that i can air them here. Wasn't sure whether to choose between Youtube or Google Video so i decided to sign up for both. I tried Google Video first & the uploader tool is really user friendly for a first-timer like me. You can upload multiple files at a time too... but... but... they don't accept .3gp files!!

I've always been quite bo chup (apathetic) about politics and though i've openly declared that i'll be voting for the PAP in this year's General Election, i've never tried to convince anyone else to do the same. Likewise, i expect not to be badgered to vote for the opposition because i feel that who you vote for is something you ought to think about carefully, and come up with a decision of your

A long time ago, i wrote about ICQ vs MSN. Now, i think it's finally a foregone conclusion that ICQ is heading the way of the dinosaurs.A friend of mine recently introduced me to Live Messenger. This is the latest beta version of MSN messenger. It looks pretty much similar to the regular MSN except that you can:1) Send offline msgs (finally!) to your friends.2) Go into invisible mode and

Got a call from a sweet-voiced Singtel staff yesterday. She was polite, clear, and thoroughly professional. Didn't catch her name 'cos she woke me up from my late afternoon nap. Anyway, once she identified that she was from Singtel, i woke up enough to register that Singtel had acceded to my request - my mobile line will be converted to a corporate account, and the Data3 Lite plan that i

The journey to the battlefield was a long and torturous one. The bunnies faced harsh weather, rough terrain & flash floods. But the brave bunnies soldiered on. They encouraged & constantly reminded one other that they must always hold up their morale.Using the 88 secret kungfu steps taught to them, the bunnies conquered all obstacles in their way. They climbed over mountains, leapt across lakes,

Sometimes i wonder what the heck is wrong with a corporation as big as Singtel. About a month ago, i spoke to the Biz Solutions Director of my company and we agreed that i should migrate my personal mobile plan to a corporate plan so that my subscription fee will be lower. As my co. pays for my phone bill, i wanted to do this so that there can be some savings for the company. This was just before

Got really pissed off by this stupid driver on the road just now. I was on my way home from Toa Payoh when this idiotic driver decided to tail-gate me. Sheesh, the stupid driver didn't even switch on his headlights, choosing to drive with only his fog lights on. As the fog lights were near the bottom of the car, and given how close he was following my car, it was probably some time before i

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there lived a happy colony of rabbits. As there was peace for many suns and moons, the bunnies were lulled into the mistakened belief that their green flourishing lawn was safe from all enemy attack and they soon became complacement.One day, they received a scroll from the bears of the Order of Evil Fruit Trees, challenging the peaceable bunnies to

A few people have asked me what's the outcome of my battle with Singtel. Well, we have reached a ceasefire.Halimah from Singtel wrote back to say that they are agreeable to offering me 24 months free caller-id but they are unable to offer me free caller-id + free Data3 lite surf.So i did some quick calculations and concluded that i'll rather take 12 months free Data3 Lite, than 24 months free

Was up really early this morning to send off a friend at the airport. Got to know this friend through salsa, back in 2002. It wasn't a big boohoo kind of goodbye at the airport but i was quite close to tears. In the end, we all kept up our smiles & waved enthusiastically through the glass panel of the departure hall.Haven't been very close to this friend since 2004... that's when i started

Unfortunately, when the IBM hdd went down, it also took down my entire collection of mp3s with it.Sob sob... the last time i backed up my mp3s were in 2003? So all the new stuff accmulated / ripped in the last 3 years have all died with the bloody IBM hdd. Pinky

I am in a foul mood tonight. It started when i deleted by mistake, a video of Horlicks forcing Pinky to drink milk by shoving Pinky under her. I had forgotten to upload the video to my pc and in order to free up the measly 64Mb memory card that came with my hp, i deleted this video. :( And Pinky has officially stopped drinking milk 3 days ago. So there's no 2nd chance for me to take another

Took quite a few photos of Pinky the past week (yes, with my new beloved Nokia 6280) and here they are:Pinky's a big baby. Drinking milk early in the morning. Actually, Horlicks was the one who insisted that he had his milk lah. I have a video of her shoving Pinky under her... hehe.

... like UptownGal misrepresented to.On 18/3/2006 (Sat), the Nokia 6280 hp was officially launched in Singapore. Having waited in anticipation for the phone, I checked the papers and realised that Singtel was selling the phone the cheapest - for $248 whereas M1 & Starhub were selling it for $448, all terms & conditions the same.Excited, I called Singtel 1626 to check which hello!shop had stock

I've had the red spots (it looks like many red dots - as though the skin got pricked by many needles) on my feet off & on for 2 years plus... it gets better with medication, goes away, then comes back.

Pinky was a total spoilt brat today. Last night, he willingly ate his fever medicine, though he rejected the antibiotics. Today, he refused to eat anything! I coaxed him, chased him, patted him, cornered him, carried him... for a total of 2.5hrs but Pinky simply refused to drink the medicine. I used the syringe; put the medicine on a spoon; mixed it with honey; diluted with water & put it on a

Since i'm on the topic of phones... i thought i might as well share the most brillantly stupid thing about the Nokia 6280. I am very happy about the phone - it's relatively light, has a fantastic big screen that's sharp in resolution, has a good camera, speedy menus, etc, etc... and guess what? It comes with voice-dial prefixed!Voice dial prefixed? Yeap... all you need to do is to key in a

I bought the new Nokia 6280 last night! I've been eyeing this phone for a couple of months now and when it was launched over the past weekend, i grabbed it 'cos Singtel had a special promotion - $220 cheaper than the other telcos! Managed to trade in my 6230i for $270 (Wywy shop) so i only had to pay $278 for the new hp!The phone was great. I love the fact that it's running on the series40 OS '

Changed the song on my blog to the themesong for the movie, "Turn Left Turn Right". Very 2003 i know. Heh... but it's a nice song (title is 遇见) and i really like the piano accompaniment. It's also the ringing tone u hear if u call my hp for the month of Mar... (yes yes, i've had more than 1 comments that the song is so outdated... but at least 2 people said they liked it ok!).

Pinky has been sneezing since last night... at intervals of about 3-5min between each sneeze.

I've had to deal with a couple of blooming idiots lately and they really make my blood boil. I hate it when people make me repeat myself. Once, twice i still can tahan... but if it stretches to a whole blinking 15mins at 8plus in the morning when i'm trying to brush my teeth & get changed so i can go for a 9am appointment, it really really pisses me off.

Took quite a lot of photos of Pinky last week but was too lazy to upload them till today... Clothes maketh a man... And shoes maketh a bunny? Pinky doing some liondance moves... Yeap, u can hire her for the next rabbit CNY Pinky sleeping on my lap (so rare!) Horlicks got jealous & gave her a nudge, waking her up.

Been sick for over a week now... started with a slight cough last last Thur... then after going to salsa last last Fri, my throat got worse & developed into a sore throat last last weekend. But i was doing backup singing for church so there was no rest for my voice... and after a site briefing i did last Mon... my throat gave out. Quite suddenly too! Was talking fine most of Mon... got home

Some time ago, i had this conversation with a friend about relationships and finding the right guy. I can't really recall how our conversation led to this but i think my friend wanted to introduce me to a client of hers and i said something about how it's difficult to find someone to meet my criteria (i was single then). What i remember deeply about this conversation was what my colleague shared

Pinky turned 7 weeks old on Mon - 6 Mar 2006. A good friend had the Monday blues and asked why i haven't been posting updates of Pinky recently... well, i did take some pictures a few days ago but didn't have the time / energy to post them. Had a not too good throat since last Thur, which was aggravated by my visit to Union Square on Fri night... and after working & singing on Sat & Sun, and the

I made it to salsa after all. Hehe. Arrived at Union Square at 12am and the first greeting i got was,"Wah! What wind blows u here?"As long as it isn't broken wind, does it matter? Hehe... okok. I love u peeps too. I'm glad u remember my name & welcomed me. It was nice to see a lot of familiar faces again... the last 2 times i went for salsa, i didn't recognize 99% of the people that were there

I get very stressed whenever i respond to the "pring!" sound of my sms alert, open my handphone to see that it was my Big Big Boss who sent me an sms.The first sms was 2 weekends ago when he found out that i made rings for sale and wanted to see my samples.

Made arrangements to meet an old friend to go salsa together tonight. Unfortunately, she has a company function to attend tonight so she probably won't be able to make it. Sigh... i'm in two minds about it now. Should i go? I want to go 'cos i haven't been to salsa for i think 4 months??

I met an old friend from NTU for lunch today. Mr. Softball was my "subcommer" (NTU lingo for a member of my subcommittee) in NTU. Being one of the more responsible subcommers, poor Mr. Softball got tasked to do more stuff than the rest by me. Hehe... but i was fair... and i do remember giving him as many bonus points as i could.Over time, we became rather good friends... not the kind that i meet

Whoa... someone read through my entire blog last nite... from 1:33am till the wee hours of the morning. My entire archive, all my posts, every single month, the person read through everything. Sigh...I'm "honoured" that someone bothered to read the blog of someone she doesn't know much about. Month by month, my blog was combed from the latest post to the end of 2005, then from the start of 2005

I attacked the malls with just 1 mission - to spend spend spend!I bought 2 eyeshadows, 1 rouge, 1 lip gloss, & 1 eyebrow pencil from Stila (which i promptly dropped on the floor & the colour stick fell out of the applicator #$%*@).

One of my favourite blogs of all time is Que Pasa. I am always in awe of how the writer manages to be so honest with her feelings online. Her sincere sharings & observations always make me want to read her posts more than once. Today, the issue about how open should i be on my blog came into question again. Once again, the thought of whether i should delete my entire blog crossed my mind. But i

Do u think it's possible to two-time a person and not get found out? I remember some years ago, i was going out with this guy, Mr. Ego. We were introduced by a then colleague of mine who thought we might be compatible. We had some similar interests - salsa, music, singing, so i thought why not just date & see if it'll lead to anything?After going out for about 3 weeks, i started to notice a

Pinky has turned into a rebellious teenager. It started a few days ago when she would close her eyes tight & pretend to be asleep whenever she was scolded. Then today, naughty Pinky refused to let anyone carry her. Everytime i picked her up, she would struggle & kicked - giving me a few scratches on my hands. When i placed her lying on her back on my lap, she sprung up & hopped away in less than

Pinky has migrated. My dad decided that she was big enough to stay outdoors so she was shifted to her own cage in the backyard this morning. At first Pinky wasn't used to being locked up and kept biting on the door of the cage, or standing on her hind legs pleading to be let out. We had to lock her up when i went to work 'cos my parents went out as well. But i think she got to run about in the

Clown & i went to a very special place just now. I was from C.H.I.J Opera Estate Primary School... from Primary 1 to Primary 5, then my school merged with the then Katong Convent Primary School to become C.H.I.J Katong Primary School. My old school (we used to refer to it as OE - short for Opera Estate) is now a Red Cross Campsite. It's located at the top of this hilly area in Opera Estate.

Went to the airport for dessert after cellgroup on Wednesday. While queuing up near the entrance of the toilet, a middle-aged woman in her 40s & an elderly woman in (probably) her 60s walked in, and walked right past me. I stared at the 2 women and wondered if i should just let them cut my queue... had it just been the elderly woman, i probably would have closed an eye... but i was quite annoyed

Pinky has really grown up. She eats damn a lot too... too much i think... but i can't stop my dad from feeding her so much. He keeps topping up her hay & pellets once they're finished. It's like 24hr buffet for Pinky. (I just removed the plate of pellets from her bungalow. Heh.)My dad said that Pinky didn't want to drink milk tonight... which is a first. Apparently Horlicks licked Pinky & stood

Argh... this is terrible. I'm a bad bad handphone addict. When i was a poor student, i restricted myself to changing handphones once a year so that i could recontract and enjoy the offer prices for signing my life away. After i started work, this once a year trend soon accelerated to once every 6 months... and now, changing handphones has become a quarterly trend. (Maybe i got subconsciously

Pinky turned 4 weeks old today. When i browsed through all the photos i took of Pinky since birth, it's like WOW! From a piglet looking mammal when it was first born, to the cutest baby bunny on earth, the transformation in the past 4 weeks is astounding.

I've been busy busy busy since CNY. Didn't have an off day till yesterday and boy was i getting all my days mixed up and forgetting details about stuff i had to keep tabs on! Anyway, i did manage to take a couple of photos of Pinky this week and of 'cos i'm gonna share it with you. Hehe. Pinky's ears are starting to droop now... not fully but they're definitely going to droop all the way soon.

If you read the newspapers recently, you'll realise that whatever information you were fed regarding constipation and the prevention of it is likely to be erroneous. 2 prominent local doctors have found that for many constipated people, the decrease of roughage & fibre in their diet actually eased their sufferings on the throne. Also, if you thought constipation was a big deal for humans, it's

Horlick's the mother but who's the father...? There's still a bit of speculation over Pinky's parentage. I'm convinced it's Muah Chee 'cos Fatty was exactly the same colour as MC so i'm sure MC's the daddy.However, as Pinky's ears are currently standing, my dad thinks it's Coffee.
