And then there were 2.

So! My sister finally had the time to bring Jojo (as he is now called) to the groomers’. And brought him to our place last Sunday.

Here he is! All pink and hairless. 

This is him. In the kitchen. He’s wearing JJ’s teeshirt, and JJ is very very very angry about it. He absolutely hates Jojo now.

Jojo drinks from his bowl, wears his teeshirt, gets everybody’s attention and has taken over his kitchen. Wahahaha.

Jojo looks pretty lost and he’s really scared. He should be called “Shiver” or “Sleepy”!

Jojo and JJ! Jojo has a problem with sitting. He refuses to sit down! The whole day! I wonder if he even slept last night!

And he’s dozing off! He literally dozed off while standing! Really hilarious sight.

Check out Jojo’s eyes! JJ looks more “handsome” though. Don’t worry JJ, I still love you!!!

Hurhur, check it out. He dozed off again!

And again!

Hahaha! I had a good time laughing at Jojo dozing off. Really damn funny lor! I bet he’s really really tired. That poor thing.

Traumatized by JJ I think. That bully!

Alright, I’m off. Ja!

Deepavali Day at Sentosa!

But first I want to show off my fan that I made during Japanese class that day.  

We were only given 15 minutes to finish it, obviously it’s not enough to tear those origami papers into tiny little bits and stick them on the fan right!? Bah.

Anyway I brought it home to finish it ha. The side looks empty tho’ cos I don’t know what to put there. :X

So Thursday was Deepavali! Yay! No need to work. I love public holidays. Ha. We trooped down to Sentosa to get some sun, sea and sand!

Plus I wanted to see if JJ could swim. Ha.

That’s my Dad trying to get JJ to practise flapping his arms/legs. JJ hated the water anyway. Like owner like dog huh. I hate the water too. I mean. Water in a vast container la. Not water as in showering and drinking stupid.

He looks like an old doggie.

See! My dog can swim! He swims quite fast surprisingly. And although the distance looks very short, it’s actually quite far. We all left him on the rocks to see if he’d jump down. Haha.

He did la, obviously.

We met Bear the Rottweiler who was disguised as a Labrador that day. Hahaha. And JJ hated him! Aiyo, he kept barking at him while Bear just looked really uninterested.

Bear is a therapy dog, his owner says. Very well-trained! He didn’t even bark even tho’ JJ barked like mad.

Then my parents went home with the dog and the 3 of us went to take the sky ride and luge!! Wheee! So fun! The queue was fortunately, short.

And this is me, demonstrating the 3-steps to wearing a Luge helmet. No helmet, no ride.

Step 1: Put on the helmet.

Step 2: Fasten the strap.

Step 3: Smile for the camera!!

Alright. That’s all folks! Ja!

60 days to HK..

Gosh.

Lately, I’ve been logging into Lah.cc pretty often. And many times I click on the “Write” tab and then stare at the blank screen for donkey hours, too lazy to blog.

Yes, I’m too lazy to blog. Wahahaha. Or maybe I’m just too tired.

I just finished (like really finished! not 1st draft or 2nd draft that sort of thing!) a 256 page report. Ahhhhh. It has been my “baby” for the last 2 months. Every single day I pore over it. Every line. Every paragraph. Every page.

Today, I finally printed out the final copy and submitted it. Sighhhhhh. Finally.

Oh I just calculated my expenses for June and I’m pleased to announce that I’ve grossly overspent!

Wonderful isn’t it. I will so die when Mummy receives the credit card bill.

Sigh. The biggest damage of course, done by Coach. Blah. So I guess I’ll still have to eat bread in July / August. But confirmation is on its way! Boss has sent me the appraisal form so I’m hoping that, that means he’s confirming me. Huh.

And the best part is, even though I’ve grossly overspent, I happily signed up for Japanese lessons, and paid $230 upfront just about 4 hours ago. Omg.

 

So kukusister Rach, Jenny, Fireman Ed and I will be classmates! Woohoo! We’re gonna start conversing in Japanese. Once we get the hang of it. Wakarimashitaka? Hai hai. Arigato Gozaimashita! (I think it’s like that lah.)

I just discovered last night (thanks to the Orangerr who left for Perth on Friday the 13th!) that my laptop has a built-in mic. Hahaha, she “rang” me from Perth and we had a Skype-kinda conversation. With MSN.

The connection sucks though. Because the web cam images kept hanging. And it ALWAYS chooses the frame where we look the “spastic-est” to hang.

Like so.

Hee hee. I took a screenshot of the Orangerr rocking back and forth while hao lian-ing about her Chicken in a Biscuits. *sniggers*

Vista looks good doesn’t it.

And then there’s good ol’ Windows XP. Wahahahaha. And a choreographed screen shot.

I didn’t believe her at first when she said she could hear my TV. But then I suddenly heard myself from her laptop! My goodness.

I sounded like that mouse character from that mouse cartoon. Can’t remember the title of that show suddenly. Anyways I was SQUEAKY LIKE MAD. Really.

And I started scolding “bloody idiot” and I heard myself in that squeaky voice. It’s really quite amusing actually.

Cass asked me to scold some Hokkien vulgarities and I refused. Tsk tsk. How can you encourage me to scold vulgarities! Aiyo. Ask your neighbour to visit my blog ok!

I miss you already babe, even before the plane you were on reached Perth. Sigh. We’ll meet again soon yeah? Either in Perth or in Singapore! Promise! *hugs*

So. This is wayyyyyy overdue but some weeks ago I met the gang for some pasta at Aglio Olio @ Nankin Row.

Cover / Menu / Garlic Toast

Chicken & Mushroom soup / Pasta / Chicken Wings

Aglio Olio / Waiter / Set Dinner!

It was not bad, the pasta was good and the serving was just nice. I haven’t finished my plate of pasta for a long time. The soup was good too! Creamy and thick. Yes. Loved the garlic toast! We finished everything leaving only 1 piece for Lionel.

Well. Late-comers have no say. Hee hee.

Not very expensive at all, $29.90 for 2! So works out to about $16/person after all that service charge and GST (7%!!!!) crap.

While waiting:

Bkk t-shirt / San Pi Par & Fei Si Ni / Ting

Awesome Threesome (cough!) / Lion / Yummy looking pastries!

50% off after 9pm! / Nankin Row @ Raffles Place / Quaint!

Nankin Row is at Raffles Place, near China Square. I think. Quite far to walk from the MRT and I saw Alan the Polar Bear while walking to meet Ting. Hahahaha, that poor guy had to walk me out ‘cos I was feeling so lost!

Clockwise: Tiramisu, Ba Ba, Fondant, Profiterole.

We ordered 4 to try and sad to say, I only liked the fondant thingy and the Tiramisu (which is rare ‘cos I don’t like Tiramisu). The profiterole tasted weird, maybe ‘cos lao hong? Keep too long liao, ha.

The Ba Ba tasted weird. Like all soggy and urm. Weird. Gotta try the other pastries / cakes next time. Roars. So unsatisfying. Bleah.

And then the evening went downhill all the way which saw me fall out with a friend I once held dear to my heart. I guess I said some stuff which were rather inconsiderate and hurtful.

But I still am disappointed in the way you handled the situation. Totally not what I would have thought would come from a friend. Sigh.

Maybe one day, we will speak to each other again. Maybe. One day.

Alright. Lastly. My handsome but scruffy boy!!!

He’s starting to get pissed off with me because I’m hardly at home to play with him. And I’ve been too lazy to bring him out for walks, so my maid and my Mum have been doing that. Sobs. JJ doesn’t love me anymore!!

Sigh.

Oh. Last last last thing. I THINK MY WISDOM TOOTH IS GROWING OUT. SHIT! I ISH SHCARED. i DON’T WANT OPERATION! AHHH! GA OR NOT! AHHHHHHHH. :’(

JJ in the House, Yo’!

Happily snapping away with the T20. Check out his blue eyes.

I tried to take a picture with him and me, but he tried to lick me. Roars.

My dog has bad breath, anyone knows how to brush his teeth?

Ok totally off-topic, but this T20 has a Super Macro function. Damn cool.

By the way, I’m selling off my Casio Exilim!!! Cos I bought the T20.

Picture from steve’s digicams.com

I have it in White. Bought in September 2005. Camera will include all the original parts, adaptors, dock and even the box if you want.

You can read more about the camera from steve’s digicams.com.

It’s a jolly good camera, 5 mega pixels, anti-shake, super long-lasting battery (seriously) and all those “Best Shot” modes.

Just that I think I messed up the settings for the White Balance or Exposure or ISO or something like that, so it takes super exposed pictures.

I have an unfilled warranty card, bought it from my cousin anyway (who is still working at the shop) so I think you can bring it for servicing for FREE.

It’s still in super good condition, no scratches and NEVER dropped before. I just got a 1 GB card for it, so if you buy it, that’ll be included as well.

I’m looking at around $250, but price is negotiable for sincere buyers.

Interested and sincere buyers can email me at selsel(at)gmail(dot)com.

Please support support huh.

Thanks!!!

I’m meeting *The Phantom* on Sunday.

The much awaited, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, directed by Harold Prince.

Yes, even as we speak, Zhenting has already collected the tickets for the show on Sunday.

Isn’t that great? And the best part is, it’s Category 1 Stall seats but we’re only paying $125 (U.P. $145).

Check out the circled area. That’s where we’ll be seated. Isn’t it G-R-E-A-T!!!!

And because of the $25 I saved, I can buy this!

Phantom Brooch, $15

And this!

Phantom Bear, $30 (Which is half of what I paid for my Graduation Bear, cost me $60 mind you. *rolls eyes*)

Anyhoos, this is gonna be a long post because of all the looooooooong overdue photos that I owe to all the readers of my blog. Not a lot I presume.

Doesn’t matter.

Enjoy the pictures!

 

And then there are pictures taken during the Bangkok trip. There are more in Karen’s camera but being the forgetful woman she is, I doubt it’ll be soon before I get my hands on the pictures.

 

Why don’t we have pink taxis in Singapore. Damn. Yellow, black, blue, red, white are boring! Bring on the N-E-O-N-S man. Oh and btw,  I LOVE MY NEW SPECTACLES. Wahahahaha.

I love love love my nails done there. Specially left them to grow like wild grasses so that I could nail art there. Whee.

A million cheers to free room upgrade. Love the toilet! And the view! And the comfy bed! Eastin Hotel ROCKS! Yay-ness. I’m going back there for sure!

To Chong: I wanted to buy these for you and Colin, bwahahahhahaha.

Crap I think it’s time for a new camera. Canon one this time! Ixus!!

From gazillion plastic bags to 4 bags. I’m good. And saviour of Karen’s 500baht plastic nails. I swear she got “chopped” on that one.

I just realised I ended so abruptly. Hahahaha, got distracted.

Anyhoos, GIRLS / LADIES / WOMEN / FEMALES / SHOPAHOLICS, please visit www.flickr.com/photos/missshopalot, many many dresses for $35 each and tops starting from just $24.

Hurry!!!

Expensive Rug

Told ya I had a lot of JJ's photoes. Heehee. New ones!!! 

I love it when he sits upright. So adorable right! 

 

Trying to get his side view. But he keeps moving.  

 

In his territory, HIS kitchen. 

 

Caught him running mid-flash. I think he looks like a rabbit. Check out his ears!!! 

 

Within minutes of brushing his hair, it's all messed up again. Argh.

I have a scruffy dog.

But I love him all the same. Muah!

Smelly

Not me.

Him!

Smelly!

Smelly is a miniature schnauzer too, just like JJ. But he’s really MINI now, ‘cos he’s only one month old. And trust me when I say he’s smelly.

Smelly has a lot of bak sai (eye shit) ‘cos we can’t really clean him when he’s so puny and young.

Of course Smelly isn’t really called Smelly. I just call him Smelly ‘cos they haven’t thought of a name for him.

Just to side-track. JJ’s a lazy bum. And it’s starting to show.

He’s chewing on Cheese dog biscuits. Smells nice.

Smelly is really puny.

He likes to rest his head at the corner of the box. Think his head is too heavy for him.

I like his nose! So cuteeee!

I wanted to take a photo of them side-by-side, but was warned beforehand that JJ cannot get to close to Smelly ‘cos he’ll attack.

But check out the difference in size! WTH! :O

Can you imagine Smelly will grow to become like JJ in 3 months’ time!?

Smelly is actually sleeping. Puppies sleep like a lot.

He falls asleep every 5 minutes. I think he burns a lot of energy trying to stay awake. And he pees like every half an hour. Very funny la.

There he goes again.

But I still love JJ.

He’s chewing on his tail. I think he’s a little pissed over the photo-taking frenzy. Bwahahahha.

He keeps attacking the camera. Bah.

I don’t know why his eyes turn out blue in the photo. But he’s eyes aren’t blue off camera. Weird huh. I think it’s the flash.

So he keeps showing me his butt to show his pek-cekness. Nice ass huh.

Doesn’t he look like an angel here. Those doleful eyes, half-opened mouth. So cute right!!! Aiyo. *melts*

Really buay-tahan already. LOL.

Love this picture. Looks like he’s smiling huh.

He’s tired already. Time to sleep!

I love primary school gatherings.

Cute OVERLOAD!

Bwahahaha, as if. But JJ is cute! I’m sure FBL and Kook and Michelle will agree with me!!!

Teeheehee.

So he survived Day 1 with his new collar. By now you should all know that he’s afraid of that bell on his collar. But as we all know. He got used to it!!!

He can even jump on the stool and chew its buttons now. o_O

And trying to sniff at my camera.

The snazzy red collar with a bell. Teeheehee.

Ha! I love love love love love this shot. Bwahahaha, I think the flash freaked him out a little tho.

THE BELL!! Teeheehee.

His favourite living room rug. Then he has his favourite kitchen rug. And his favourite doormat. -_-” You get the idea.

Woops. Too near again. Hahaha. He’s starting to look dazed.

Proof that he chews!! Gnaws!! Bites!! Roar roar.

Look like old man hor?!?!?!

Eh?

Watching tv. As if. He’s enjoying his rug.

JJ, “Ey, WTF! This yellow pimply thing rings!!!”

Author’s note: The yellow squashy ball thingey has a bell inside. Bwhahahaha.

JJ, “Ey, I ain’t gonna go after something that rings. I already have one around my neck!!! Dammit.”

Author’s note: Bwhahaahahahha!

JJ, “Ey, get that yellow pimply thing away from meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

Author’s note: La dee dah..

He can’t resist his biting instincts. LOL.

Bell or no bell, he’ll still bite it. Hahaha..

I love JJ!!

Latest update: His stools aren’t so watery anymore and his coughing lesser already! Yippee!

No, I’m not going to tag anyone to do it, because 1, nobody ever does what they’re tagged to do and 2, because it’s a vicious cycle.

It will end here! Am I noble or what.

Anyhoos. We bought JJ a spanking new red collar. WITH A BELL.

And he’s afraid of the bell!! Wahahahahahahahaha.

That furkid is just amazing me with things he does everyday.

My favourite game (as with Jenn) is draping the cloth over him and watch him do some “lion dance” while he tries to get the cloth out of his eyes.

Bwahahahahhahahaha. Very fun game. For me.

It’s Thursday already, this past week I haven’t gone out, to meet anyone, to do any shopping, to eat, to hang out.

Sort of like house arrest.

JJ had his first bath yesterday. It was a disaster!!!! OMG. He almost fell off the table so many times till I almost had a heart attack. Gah.

It’s quite a strenous activity, bathing him. I think I might lose a few kgs taking care of him.

Checklist for losing weight:

1. Lack of sleep. Average: 5hrs a day. Last night I had 7hrs! Breakthrough. Kilo(s) lost, 2kg
2. Running around, cleaning up after JJ. Kilo(s) lost, 1kg
3. Bathing JJ. Kilo(s) lost, 1kg

See, in these 4 days, I lost like 4 kgs already.

As if. Hahahaha. But I think I dropped some kilos, seriously.

Not because of taking care of JJ la. Because my cough and flu have finally become full-blown. Bwahahhaa. You know, complete with phlegm and mucus, the works.

Fantastic ey.

Let’s hope I get well soon. Sigh.

*Cough*

Photos of JJ!

So he’s still coughing, but getting better which is good and his stools are still a little runny, but he’s eating well and playing well, so that’s not much of a problem.

I think. The vet agrees too.

He’s one hell of a monster, once he gets used to us. o_O

He watches TV too, although he spends half the time smelling around and making us busy cleaning his poop. He has no problem pee-ing on the newspaper but I don’t know why he can’t poop on the newspaper.

He doesn’t dare to go down the stairs. Yet. Told you I’ve got a hum chi dog.

He has this really adorable face ey. But he’s really not as adorable as he looks. That little ball of a monster.

See, he shows me his ass when I want to take photos of him. Bah.

And he’s one hell of a chewer. He doesn’t dare to chew on me much ‘cos he knows I won’t tolerate his nonsense. I smack his butt.

His typical “manja” position when I scold him. -__-” Then my mother will be like, “Aiyo, so poor thing..”

Spare the rod and spoil the child, I say.

My dad trying to coax JJ with his fingers to go down the steps. Hahahaha. Took him 3 days before he dared to go down. And a few hours before he managed to climb up the steps.

He’s quite smart la. He go down step by step. But I tell you, before long he’ll be bouncing up and down the steps.

See, very fast already!!!! The past few days he’d just sit at the edge of the steps, too hum to come down.

Need to get him to break his habit of chewing on our fingers and toes. Very bad habit. But don’t know why, he not scared of us smacking his butt.

He thinks we’re playing with him. Roar.

My cough is not getting any better. Shit. HELP ME!!!!! I can’t sleep properly because I keep coughing. Gah.

Right. I’m off. Ciao.
