Leaving on a Jet Plane.

Actually i am leaving on a C130.

I will be flying off tomorrow morning as part of the medical team to tend to the victims of the Tsuami attack to Aceh tomorrow.

I am feeling a lot of mixed emotions now. Feel like i have a lot to say or express but so little time.

I am having a throbbing migraine as i am writing this blog due to lack of sleep and the long working hours i guess.

Happy and proud to be choosen to go . Not everyone get to go and a lot of people can't wait to take over me.

Sad to go course i know i will miss my family ,friends and furkids. (and also my chaochao pillow... hahahahahha)

And of course there is certain level of anxiety that i feel as i watched CNA and read the newspaper. Rows and rows of dead bodies, the smell, the grief level there, the possible epidemic that might erupt there.....

But nevertheless, gotta go means gotta go.

To my family and friends who are reading my blog:

Don't worry about me, i know how to take care of myself. I love you and have a wonderful new year. You will always be on my mind.

Especially to my mommy who reads my blog:

I love you and don't worry about me. Be strong, Hugs and kisses. See ya in 2 weeks time. Take care. *muak*

To ser:

Take care girl. Don't miss me too much. (hehehehehe, i know who u miss more) and i will keep a watchout for jp if i get to see him . Don't miss him too much. Be strong, we will be back in 2 weeks time. P/s: help me to keep an eye on R4. Make sure he never abuse the furkids. hehhehehhehe :op


And to R4:

Don't bully the furkids and remember to feed and clear their poo. And no alcohol after the wisdom tooth extraction. Thanks for being there for me these few days. I love you.

*sob sob*

Wah... Like so pessimistic. No lah. I am expressing my innermost feelings and thoughts. I really mean everything i say.

See ya in 2005! Happy New Year!

Christmas AAR (after action review).

This is one of the most low key christmas i ever had.

Had a lot of random thoughts running through my head. Don't really know where to start.

*start Random thoughts*

Christmas eve dinner was fun! I cooked japanese curry! 1st attempt and i'm gald it turn out well. All thanks to avia. I was observing how she cook the other day when she was preparing for puipui's birthday party and realised it is not so hard anyway. MummyHelen's chicken cutlets save a great deal of time too! Just pop into the toaster , 15 mins later ...viola! Black peppered chicken cutlet! hehehehhehe.

Ser, jp, xing, teck and jac came over for dinner. It is a small but nice group of friends. And i prepared the food. Felt a sense of accomplishment.

After which, we just exchange presents and chill out playing x box, watching TV and surfing net.

Jianxing came over around 10ish just to chill out and by midnight, after christmas is here, everyone left, either to go home or to carry on round 2 of celebration.

R4 and i pack up the house and then he carry on playing his new game and i carry on playing my king of chaos( a new rpg that i am addicted to) .

Received some great christmas gifts. A big thank you to you guys! *muack*

Ser gave me what i wanted all year long - the lomo action sampler with FLASH! Hehehehhehe Can carry on with my lomographer dream.

Jac gave me a barbie that i once commented that the face is nice. Was surprised and touched that she even remembered it.

Xing baked some cookies for R4, furkids and me. Taste great and the furkids gobbled down their specially requested non chocolate vanilla cookies. She even got me a photoframe which i only discovered after she left. hehhehehe i even thought she left it behind. Wahahhahaha.

Krisy got me a emily coin pouch before she left for Hong Kong. It is so dainty and cute.

My 70s sisters got me a precious moment jewellery box. It is so sweet... too bad i don't have much jewellery though.

As for R4's gift for me, i went back to LV to change it to an organiser instead. I think i will use the organiser more than the pen.

But i think the best gift he gave me this christmas are the time and the moments we shared these few days. I really enjoy shopping with him, having long conversations in the car ( due to the massive jams) and playing and discussing King of chaos with him . I think i am going to miss the" i coming up to your office now" moments as he had already finish his course and will be going back to his unit already.

Sigh.

And though i never tell him this . But i think his new haircut is very nice . It is spunky and it is so outta the world. Not the norm. That's him. That's the R4 that i fall in love with.

He once told me this ( but i doubt he remember it anyway) ," Stay the way you are. Do not conform. that's what make you special."

I will always remember it.

Have a Merry Chirstmas! And 2005 is just round the corner! Woo Woo Woo!!! :p

***
Things ain' t used to be what they are anymore.

There won't be the usual X club christmas eve party this year. Simply coz the X club is non exsistent anymore.

Some are not in town, some are not interested, some MIA, some can't make up their mind ( i fall into this category).

So the christmas eve party will be R4 , me and our furkids. Hahahhahaha

Most prob ser and Jp will join. So see how.

Don't think will be a party. Maybe a nice dinner with people close to us and a chill out session.

Kinda sad that we can't be like how we used to be. But i guess time changes people. We have different interests, different group of friends and different mentality and views now.

But at least what warms my heart is that i can look back at all the fond memories of the chirstmas eve parties we used to have. Hopfully we can rekindle those parties in years to come.

***
TIRED.

Can't believe how tired i feel.

Ever since the 1oth, time whizzed pass. So fast, in warp speed somemore .

But there are some days which are nice.....

1. Going on a date with R4 to the stuff technology thingy fashion show. Saw the launch of the Oakley Thump. R4 is happy coz free tequila. Whahahahahaha

3. Going to philip's housewarming and meeting the X club again. Gald to see them after sooooo long.

4. Going to Goodwood Park High Tea Dim Sum with R4, Ser and xing. Been a while man. *yummy* * Drools*

5. Shopping for puipui's present. Learnt that an aprica pram can cost up to $989!!! Wahhhhhh. My Pram (not P.A.M.) knowledge sure increase. hhahahahahahaa

6. Did a deployment with my team and actually enjoyed it despite being totally clueless about what to do initially. Learnt a lot (work-wise) these few days. Gald to have great team mates.

7. R4 got me a present for christmas that touched my heart. A LV GREEN organiser pen. That's so Me!!! Couldn't think of a better gift that was ever given by him.

Thats all for now... feeling kinda dopey n zzzzzzzzpy......

Now must crack brains what to get for R4 for christmas......*migraine alert!*

Pissed.

Sometimes i wonder why are some people so cynical or paranoid.

Saw kate online today. Was actually happy to see her as it been a while since we MSNed.

San-d: Hi Hi! Wats up?
Kate:Hello. Nothing.

Suddenly, i remembered that CJ mentioned to me about Kate MSNing her one night that she is feeling sad. CJ also asked me if Kate is ok, coz before she can reply kate, Kate is offline. CJ even sms her but she never replied.

So out of concern, I asked Kate.

San-d: Huh? But CJ told me you are sad that day.
Kate: (after 1 min) y is everyone so interested in other ppl's downfall?

I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw her reply.

All i did was out of a friend's concern and asked her if she is feeling ok. But she became so defensive and thinks that i am probing in her private life or mocking at her DOWNFALL?? WTF? What downfall? I mean i don't even know what is going on in her life, much less a downfall? All i wanted was to be there for her or to lend her a listening ear if she wants to talk about it. Even if she doesn't wanna tell me, it would be fine with me. But there isn't a need to reply in such a curt manner. Sometimes i wonder is it because that i am happy go lucky and easy going that people can neglect my feelings and take me for granted?

In the end, i couldn't stomach it so i....

San-d: Wah lau, why you say until my concern for you is like i kaypoh like that? Forget what i asked. (pardon the singlish :p)

Then i think it sounds a bit harsh, i added...

San-d: Its ok if you feel uncomfortable telling me, but i ask coz i concern for you, that what friends are for. (pardon the singlish again.)

But after 10 mins when i check the window again, she set her status as BUSY.

Sigh.

Now it is my turn to ask.

"Why do people become so cynical and paranoid of others' good intentions?"

"Don't anyone believe that there are people geniunely concern for them?"

"How do you define Friends?"

Think about it.

Singapore(an?) Idol.

Yesterday's grand finals was sooo nice. Both guys were soooo good. Also dunno who to vote for.
Actually, don't even intend to vote for any, till....

*do do do do.....do do do* (hp ringing - jay's ringtone hehehehhee)

Krisy (via hp from bintan): You watching SG idol? I watching ley, here can see.
San-d: Wah! so good ah!
Krisy: I know u sure vote for Sly one, i already told my sis to help me vote $3 worth for taukif. Taufik ...Taufik ....Taufikkkkk!!!
San-d: ......*speechless* er... i neutral lah. Both also good.

After that phone call from krisy, both jing and stanley also sms me to tell me that they support taufik and ask me to vote for him.

In the end, i sent out an sms to all 3.....

San-d(via sms): Since you guys voted (in krisy case- $3 worth, Stan's case-$10, Jing's case-er... i also dunno how much she vote) for that TAU KEE... this had inspired me to vote more than $10 calls for SYLVESTER!!! SLY RAWWWWKS!!!

After which i was bombed by them.... and in the end when the taukee..opps i mean taufik won.... i was bombed lagi many times.....

But actually they dunno ( if they read now they will know) i also never vote more than $10 worth of calls. Actually i think i voted 10 calls the most. hehehehehehhee.

It really doesn't bother me who won. They are both strong in their own ways. And its enjoyable watching them perform.

Was wondering.... why not form a boy group with the both of them... wahhhh... can imagine the fans go crazy. Sly's fan+taufik's fans= MASS ORGY!! hahahahahha

Throw in Leandra.... they can form SG equavilent of Black Eye Peas.

Throw in Maia.... they can form SG equavilent of ABBA!!!! (ok ok i'm just kidding).

December already?

Time flies.

Was feeling lazy for the past week so didn't really blog though there are some interesting events that's happening .

But i really must get this down.

Went to the Jay Incomparable Concert 2004 on 27th Nov. Though i was very excited to go but somewhere deep in the corner of my heart still pained for the $129 spent on the tickets. R4 remarked that i am crazy to go when with $129 i can buy many Cds or Dvds of him. But he doesn't get it that it is not the SAME!


Jing, me and xing at the indoor stadium. Ser and Jp went too ( but not in this pic)


The view from my seat.


Lights out! Wooooo... Starry starry litestixs!


Jay's FANatics.


Jay Chou up close and personal. Agghhhh!!! *drools*


Jay doing a fast number. He's really a talented guy. He sings, dances ( not very well but tries his best nontheless).....


Plays the chinese flute......


plays the Piano......


More piano shots.....



He plays the drum too but too bad my camera died on me and i can't get that shot.... *sobs*

In the end, i don't feel so bad about the ticket price and i'm actually gald that i went! It was so fun and i really enjoyed myself . This time round, compared to his previous concerts, he engages the crowd more, delivered his songs well, nice selection of old and new songs, nice visual effects, great crowd....... Wooo! :op


Fans: Jie lun , Jie lun... Encore .... Encore... ENCORE!!!!

Jing ( being a non Jay fan) : I wanna marry him. He is so cute!!!
San-d: I know.... I also want.
Jing: Too bad u already married.
San-d: ........... (plotting ways to divorce R4.... Just kidding :op)

CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK FOR HIS NEXT CONCERT!!!
(But that will be 2 years later...sigh)

When You Divorce Me, Carry Me Out in Your Arms....

Got this email from stanley. A very touching story.

On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my?arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.


This was the scene of ten years ago.


The following days were as simple as a cup of pure?water: we had a kid, I went into business and tried to
make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affections between us seemed to ebb.


She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school.


Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes.


Dew came into my life.


It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her.


Dew said, You are the kind of man who best draws girls. Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we just married, my wife said, Men like you, once successful, will be very
attractive to girls. Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn't help doing so.


I moved Dew's hands aside and said, You go to select some furniture, O.K.? I 've got something to do in the company. Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised her to go and
see with her. At the moment,the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me.


However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging
before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment.


One day I said to her in a slight joking way, suppose we divorce, what will you do? She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away from her. I couldn't imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious.


When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while!?talking with her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes.


Once again, Dew said to me, Divorce her, O.K.? Then we live together. I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate any more.


When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. I've got something to tell you, I said. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn' t know how to open my mouth.

But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want to divorce. I raised a serious topic calmly.

She didn t seem to be much annoyed by my words instead she asked me softly, why? I'm serious. I avoided her question. This so-called answer turned her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! .


At that night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Dew.


With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at?it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said.


Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer.


A late night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fell asleep fast. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again. She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but I was supposed to give her one month's time before divorce, and in the month's time we must live as
normal life as possible.

Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn't want him to see our marriage was broken.


She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, Do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day?


This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, I remember . You carried me in your arms , she continued, so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce.From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning.


I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage with a romantic form.


I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable.


My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger. So when I carried her out for the first
day, we both appeared clumsy.

Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten
meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, don't tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for bus, I drove to office.


On the second day, both of us acted much more easily.She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn' t looked at
this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrinkles on her face.


On the third day, she whispered to me, The outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there.


On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Dew became more vague.


On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger.


I didn't tell Dew about this. I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now. She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, All my dresses have grown fatter. I smiled. But I suddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she hadburied all the bitterness in her heart.


Again, I felt a sense of pain. Subconsciously I reached out a hand to touch her head.


Our son came in at the moment. Dad, it's time to carry mum out. He said. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my
arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.


On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, Actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old. I held her tightly and said, Both you and I didn't notice that our life was lack of such intimacy.


I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door. I said to her, Sorry,
Dew, I won't divorce. I'm serious.


She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. You got no fever. She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I can only say sorry to you, I won t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of life, not because we didn t love each other any more.


Now I understand that since I carried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you.


Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud?slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove to the office.


When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for my wife which was her favourite. The salesgirl asked me to write the greeting words on the card. I smiled and wrote, I 'll carry you out every morning until we are old.

Dragonboat.

Participated in the 2004 Singapore Idol..... opps! i meant Singapore River Regatta(heh heh :oP) over the weekend.

Never in my live will i ever think i would do something like this. Was "saboed" into joining... the 11 weekends burned at the yucky murky kallang river....the hey shou hey shou... the blisters on arm, the acheing butt.... all over in a matter of less than 2 mins. In fact, 1 min and 48 secs.

It was fun nontheless. Didn't know i can row a dragonboat. The butterfiles in my stomach while waiting for the race to start. The adrenaline in rowing. It's a short surge of euphoria!

Sat was the heats. Was worried that our dragonboat will not get in as we were 2nd for our heats and there are 3 heats. Luckily we got in.

Sun was the finals. Our team sent in 2 boats and both our boats were in the finals. As we set off to the starting point.... i was so excited that words failed me. And when i hear "paddles up!" , i thought to myself that it is now or never!

"PHHHEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!"


And off we go......


I paddled so hard that i felt nausea just after the halfway mark. And when i hear the drummer go,"Stand by to charge!" I just let it all out! Really all out!.....



Agggrrhhhhh!!!!!! Charge!!!!!


But we lost.



We got 4th out of 5 boats.



The results: our boat A came in at 1 min 45 sec ++, 2 other boats came in 1 min 47 sec++ and our boat B( which is the one i am in ) came in 1 min 48sec....


Sigh.

Were very disappointed. VERY VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED.


But C'est la vie.

Someone gotta lose but i just hate it when we are us.

What a difference 1 second make.

I don't want to be different. I just want to be me.

Did a personailty test.

Is it really me? *wonders*

F:

Your Beauty lies in contradiction, controversial, unpredictable, and
never what anyone expects.

You appearance and your personality are two
opposite things.

Even your appearance sends different signals to different
people. To some you may look innocent and sweet, to others you look mysterious
and intimidating at the sametime.

No one ever knows what to expect with you.
You are a little bit ofeverything all mixed together. You can be watching
the football game with the guys one minute and the next out shopping at the
mall.

You seem to be almost a different person every time you meet someone, but
at the same time you know exactly who you are and there is always that one
thing that makes you "you".

You enjoy keeping people guessing and people love how
completely unpredictable youare.

Some Things That Represent You:

Element:Fire, Water

Fable.

Nothing much interesting happen these few days.

Been pretty slack lately and i didn't train for 3 weeks already. Think the other time the training really phobic me. Sigh.

Airle is doing something funny again. This time, she attempt to crawl into my chao chao's (smelly) pillow cover. Don't ask me why, i also don't know what is it for. *wonders*

R4 is back to his X box mode again and this time he is a evil warrior in this game called fable. Actually, you can choose to be good or bad. But for who know R4 will know that being evil comes naturally to him .... Wahahahahhahaa....

And to date, he had killed countless hobbes, innocent people, married don't know how many times and kill them ( he don't even divorce!) Killing entire village worth of people and take over the village. His gold bag has 50K+ worth of gold and he looks hideous with his horns , tattoos, beards and his baldy head.

Hehehehehehhee....

I tried to play the game as the good guy... but frankly speaking, it is hard to be a good person. I mean, even when i help to kill evil monsters or people, i still get "evil" points coz its KILLING.

Sigh. Like what a chinese saying goes," How ren nan zhuo...( its tough to be good)

Bunny Teeth.

My 2 front teeth has a gap in between. Not very wide, but wide enough for people to notice.

When i was young, there is no gap. However when i lose my 2 baby front teeth, the ones that grow out, didn't join too nicely.

Thus the gap.

Didn't mind the gap much, however people started commenting that the gap is getting wider.....

It made me a bit more self conscious about the gap, kept wondering if people will notice.

Today, i went for an influzena jab. Thinking that since the dental centre is there too, i might as well go and make an appointment to fix the gap ( coz i heard they do it and its free!).

Krisy is with me and when she saw her friends, she was so happy to see them! Greeting the dentist and all.... i was like still at the appointment counter waiting for the poor medic that's so busy to tend to me. Krisy told her friends i wanna fix the gap in between my teeth. I was like so shy n embarassed! Never kept my mouth closed so tight before. hahahahhahaha

Was still waiting for the medic when one of krisy's friends ask her if i wanna fix the gap now. I was like shocked/happy/surprised /excited when i heard it. Its like a tsunami wave swept passed me! Immediately registered myself and plonked myself on the dental chair! ( coz i know their appointments are very very full!!)

The dentist is a super nice lady and very humourous too! In short, she filled the gap and ...

Ta-duh! No more GAP!

Hehehehhehehehehehehe.....

Must really thank my lucky star that helped me to fulfill one of my dreams but somehow never got about doing it.

Think the lucky star for today is Krisy!!!! *Hand Lucky star award* * claps*

R4 didn't notice at 1st till krisy kept flashing her pearlies and when i did too, he broke into a smile.....

R4: Now no gap but u look like Bugs Bunny.

*faintz*

4 Yr Old Min Pin for Adoption.

I'm am posting this with a heavy heart.

Mambo is my first dog and it is mambo who taught me how to be a dog lover. I was ambitious when i 1st got mambo as i knew nuts about doggies and was simply awed by mambo's cuteness as a minpin pup. Actually i bought him on the day before my 3 months overseas posting. I have to admit it is an impulse buy.

Don't know what gotten into me then but anyway when i'm back, mambo is a very nice pup and he really listens to my mum and my brother .

Mambo had been living with my family for the past 4 years, we even have a wonderful addition to the house- odie( a minpin cross JRT).

Everything was ok till my brother had a huge quarrel and moved outta the house. My mum now complains that it is a burden to take care of the 2 of them.

Actually i don't blame her as my mum has to work, look after my 80 year old grandma and 2 dogs alone. My dad works till late at night. My brother is a goner (lets not talk about him).

I've moved out 2 years ago when i got married and had adopted 3 furkids of my own. I simply can't take in 2 more dogs.

After a discussion with my mum, she decided that she'll keep one and she wants to keep odie as she thinks mambo would have a higher chance to be adopted as he is a pedigree with a SKC cert.

Mambo really deserves a chance to go to a home that someone can give him the time and attention. I know 4 yrs old maybe considered an old dog to some but he is so bubbly and full of character, you don't even think he is 4. He know sit and paw, back to your room (which is to go back to the cage) and is paper trained. However, he is not neutered and tends to mark sometimes.

Potiential Adoptees(PA) please note:

1. Minpin is a doggy full of character and to be frank, it is not for 1st timers. Minpin is very active and a good watch dog.

2. PAs to agree to neuter mambo. Mambo will be adopted FOC but this is a little something that i hope PAs will do to help prevention of unwanted litter. Wanted to neuter him long time ago but my mum doesn't allow me to do so. However, since both mambo and odie are male dogs so no worries.

3. PAs please email me at rainebowskye@hotmail.com . Please let me know more info about you, eg: your personal particulars, housing, any expreience with dogs, any children, who will be home etc. Any additional info that will be useful for me to help select you as mambo's loving parent.

If you managed to read to the end of this long post, thank you very much for taking time to read this.

Lets hope mambo goes to a loving home.


This is MamBO! Don't he look Handsome?


Mambo & Odie. Mambo is the taller one with the pointy ears.

Please give these furkids a chance .

Words.

Got this from a friend. Find it very meaningful.....

1. Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.

2. Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

3. Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.

4. What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the
person who made you cry?

5. If love isn't a game, why are there so many players?

6. Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

7. The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.

8. Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.

9. Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it.

10. A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.

11. Some people make the world special by just being in it.

12. Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us.

13. When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.

14. Good friends are like stars....you don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
15. Don't frown, you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

16. Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.

17. Most people walk in and out of your life, but only friends leave footprints
in your heart.

18. If u love something...let it go. If it comes back to you its yours.... If it doesn't then it never was.

19. A dream is just a dream until u make it come true.

20. LOVE is just a word until its proven 2 u.

Princess Airle.

Found an old CD and happened to chance upon Airle's Bb pics! Didn't realise she had grown soooo much!


Bb Airle @ 3 mths


Pretty Airle @ 8 mths


Messy Airle @ 16 mths

Actually Airle's name wasn't meant to be this way. Named her Elle initially. But stupid R4 prefers 2 syllbles name and kept calling her "Air---le". So in the end, we just dropped Elle and called her Airle. Literally translate from Air+ le.

P/s: i saw a chocolate bar on TV named "Airle" one fine day ! hahahahhahaha so it is not just a name i made up! Hehehehehheehheee

Failure is just another 7 letter word.

I failed the selection again.

Oh well. This time is the push up. Fail by 1. Super sian . Super low morale....... coz it feels like missing a penalty kick.

Sigh.

But this is this morning.

Now i feel better.

Come to think of it....

I can no need to train already!!!!( @ least for this month coz the next course is in Jan!!)
I can relax! I can enjoy! No need to do push ups! No need to do chin ups!

Wahahahahahahahhahah...........

*celebration!!* *jumps around* * throws confetti*

***
The 27th.

In less than 10 hours, i will know if i can make it for the BAC.

After last week's humilitating attempt, tomorrow is the the reselection.

Seriously, i don't think i can make it.

And to make matters worse, i think i injured my right shoulder. Can feel crepitus with i rotate it.

Sigh......



Fark it la! Tomorrow just do and die! Why whine whine whine? The most next year do again la! Hiya!

:oP

***
"No Count !"

I really hate this phrase today.

Did the selection today. Surprisingly i'm fitter than i thought but in the end i still fail.

By one stupid chin up.

Hahahahhahahahaha

The rigger kept "no count", "no count" till my hand is trembling. In the end i pass all the station but fail the chin up station.

Vvvvvvvvvery low morale.

Went back camp and encik immediately submitted my name for the 27th's selection.

Hopefully by then my chin up can make it.

Thought can relax a bit if i make it today. But too bad......back to same old training and this time is to power up my chin ups!

Gambadeh!

***
I've got butterfiles in my stomach.

Tomorrow is the selection and i am so damn nervous.

Tuesday really whacked my body and down supplements. Today did some endurance swim and down supplements again.

Really don't know how tomorrow. Everyone behaved like as if i've pass the selection and going for the course. Felt kinda stressed. Like if i don't pass, everyone gonna be disappointed.

Sigh.

Went for the selection 3 years ago and i sucked badly during that time. Was saboed into thinking that the push ups are girl style push ups and was farking embarassed by the riggers taking the selection.

Maybe the phobia is there.

Today R4 is so nice to take off so that we can go chill out( coz i took half day off to chill). But in the end also quarrel over little things. Feel so silly. Hahahhahahahahahah. Guess married couples are like that.

Went to watch Resident Evil. Its freaking nice. Very entertaining. If i can be half what milla johovich is , tomorrow's selection will be the last thing on my mind. Hahahahhahaah

Oh well, gotta go rest and see how tomorrow.

P.s: A lotta people called and wish me Good Luck. Sometimes i wonder good luck for fark? I need Good Strength, Good Power Or Good Speed. Hahahahahhahaha. Nevertheless, it is people's good intention and i'm grateful for it.

P.P.S: Having badddddddd cramps.....butterfiles in my stomach behaving as if they are having a party at Zouk. Can die.

***
Trial

Body ache like fark. Really.

Did a trial selection today and i failed.

In the end the push ups didn't kill me.

The Chin ups did.

WTF!!!!! After training for months, in the end i can't do 6 farking the chest must touch the bar chin ups!

I did it using the overgrip but in the end the bar is too high and i can't touch the bar with my chest.

I can't use the undergrip coz my biceps are not strong enough.

Sigh....

Only 2 more days to the selection.

Think maybe just train till i popped tomorrow, rest on wed and hope for the best on thursday-selection day.

:~~~~~(

The feeling of Impending Doom.

So tired today from DB and also the past few days of going out, friday's ktv, saturaday's gym and movie, sunday's DB and makan session.

Came back and bathe the furbabies. Now they all smelt like apples! So Nice.

I am also super pooped.

Did a lot of push ups with R4 till i lost count. I also don't know how many i do. Now my arms are super aching and the selection is this thursday. *can die*

Really dunno why i still can't hit 15 standard oneS!!!!!!

* WAIL* *WAIL**WAIL* *Sobs* * sobs*

Blogger's Block

It took me 1 week to finally blog .

There simply so much that happened the during the past week.

Let's back track.....

Sat: Ser ,Mickey, NK, Jing and 1 went to Tiger beer's Euphoria 2004! MAchi Machi Machi! They are so cute n handsome!!!! Like what the lians will say..." see peh yan tao ah( SOOOOOOO HANDSOME)!!!" Then we went to KTV and sing till 4 am!

Sun: DB @ 0930 (nearly died from lack of sleep), went home to rest, then go to town to chill and watch movie.

Mon: Sick, took MC. Evening went over to ser's place to chill.

Tue: Went to work, report sick, coz really really sick.... MO give me 3 days light duties coz he say the meds will make me sleepy. But for fark? Give me MC lah! Mad one ley. In the end, encik took pity at my sad and breathless and sick face, he ask me go back and rest. Hehehehhehehe

Wed: Encik ask me to took off today to rest. Coz sick bird mah. Feeling better. Jing and NK came over in the evening. Wanted to go dinner together but Jing got something on, so in the end, R4, NK and i met ser at Holland V for some Crystal Jade. *yummy*

Thurs: Did a Audiometry research for just enlisted recurits (a.k.a botaks) From 0730 till 2230 hrs! Wahhhhh....... Like what the bengs will say:" see bey sian ah!!!!(so borring ah)" Wanted to rush down to see jing's pole dancing finals but can't coz by the time i'm done, its over already. And i miss the Singapore Idols!!So Sad. Stupid botaks! SOoooo slow. Do things allll soooo slow!!!! AGGGHHH!!!

~~~

Anyway, I've finally bought the swatch diving watch for R4. Its the black one. He wanted it sooo much and was constantly talking abt it....

R4: This watch can dive on one ley.
san-d: *nods*
R4: I like the yellow one but NK got it already. HE la..... yaks yaks yaks.... then i think the black one is more suitable for my work....
san-d: *mentally block out what he is saying*

Hehehehehehhehehe.

But in the end, i keep going to Swatch counters to keep looking at the watches, go swatch.com and find out the specs about the watches, read in the latest issue of CLEO abt the watches. What finally got me to buy the watch is that...... even this week's latest issue of YOU magazine has a full page spread intro about them!!! AGGGHHH!!!

SO during my lunch break yesterday, and to take a break from the botaks, i took blackie (decided to name my car that and he's a boy!) to Tmall, march up to the nearest swatch counter and told the sales lady that.....

San-d: I would like to get this one (points to the black one).
Swatch gal: Oh, you like to take a look at that?
San-d: I would like to buy. Hmmm...but before that, let me see that watch 1st....

In the end, i fiddled with the orange one, clear one, blue one... hehehehehehe but i still bought the black one for R4.

I went home during my dinner break to hide the watch from R4. I put it in the 1st drawer of the HU LU . Thinking he won't open the HULU for no reason.

Big mistake.

I forgot the x box controller and game is inside.

When i got home from work, i went to check on the swatch. But it was gone. So i marched over to R4 and...

San-d: U took my watch ah.
R4: *covers blanket and pretend to sleep*
San-d: that watch is not mine!
R4: Oh ,is it? i hide it in the kitchen topmost cabinet.
San-d ....... -_____-

After retrieving it from the hiding place, i give it to him personally. He was like "heeheeheeheeeee" "Aiyah, why waste the money"

I was like wtf??? Buy for you, no thank yous still talk so much.

San-d: you like it or not@!!!@@!!~~
R4: Yah la, i will wear to work tomorrow.


HEhehehehehheheheheheheheh :p

Push up count: 10 ( i deproved!!!!!)
Count down to selection: Don't even dare to think about it.

The Pole.

Now i am in the mess entering this entry.

Yesterday was supposed to go for some course but due to some screw up , our names were not in the list, in the end they ask us to back to unit. I was like WTF??? Since when it is my fault that other people didn't do their job. Really mood killer. So in the end took off and went home to rest.

Still feeling kinda woozy from last night's partying. Didn't intent to party last night. But jing got herself into a situation .... ok... she joined the pole dancing competition and its the final heats last night. Went down to Wongs to support her.

Jing was a bundle of nerves. Its her virgin attempt at pole dancing competition. Never seen her so 'scared' since the day i knew her. Hahahahahahah......... She was like "what to wear", "What kinda dance","do i look fat" etc etc etc.

Ser and i had to keep reassuring her that everything is fine. She's participated in SEA GAMES and all and why is she still so nervous??I mean she's not bad at all. In fact she's good. Her moves were exceuted superbly and i was so excited and happy for her. Her frend Nyla was good too. Actually they were a bit shaky at first but once they got into the groove, they conqured the stage(and pole... hehehee) They song that got them to groove is "Dirty", one of my favourite songs!

Yesterday's contestants were kinda horrible. Some of them look like they walked outta the set of Jurassic Park. "DINOSAURS"!!! If they are fat/plump/big size/ overweight and they can dance is ok, But if they are the abovementioned and can't dance is painful to watch. Also some of them mistook "Glam" for "KTV GIRL" and dressed like the latter.

In the end, Jing got into the finals but Nyla didn't . 1 of the dinosaur got in and 1 of the KTV girl got in. This really must be kelong man. I mean Nyla is good! Nevermind. Can't do anything. I'm not the judge. Sigh.

As for the Jing-NKOTB-Timberlake saga.

Jing and Timberlake met up and feelings kinda rekindled.

"well, it seems that we are kinda together in a sense....there is the basic commitment thingy jus that the commitment doesnt lead to marriage... there is some exclusitivity as he said that while he's with me its just gona be me... well lets see how it goes lah... at least it makes me feel better now that we have moved up a level of some sort... "

~~Quote from Jing's blog.

But IMO, NKTOB has a major crush on Jing as he only known her since MONDAY!!! And that makes it 5 days! How to like someone one sooooo deeeppppp... Anyway, i think it is also rebounding coz he just ended his previous relationship last week! Get the pic?

But Jing and Timberlake go wayyyyyyy back. So i think its natural that they move up one level. But if things don't work out for Jing and Timberlake, i think NKOTB is a would love to take care of Jing. Hahahahahha (so bad)

NKOTB: " Brought Strepsils for her coz she has a bad throat, will pass to her later. Hope she feels better" (Aww... so sweet)

San-d: " What if she doesn't like Strepsils?"

NKOTB: " I know she likes the original flavour one, she was eating that yesterday and ran outta it, so i got it for her la. I got do my homework one hor. Hehehehhe"

San-d: .......... - ___ -

Can see that he is also a E.B.B. but a happy go lucky kind. Hehehehehhehehehe.

Push up count: 15 @ a go. But not really standard ones. Die la....
Selection Countdown: 19 days to go.

***
Can we have it all?

August came back yesterday. Was so happy to see her. But she's here for a short time. Going back after 12 days. Sigh~~ nevertheless will party with her! hehehhehe

Yesterday went party with her. Today took off and went town with her and kate for sushi and shopping. Jing met us too for a while before going to her gym class and coming back later to join us. Andrea gotta go back home for dinner so jing and i went to far east to meet the guys for dinner.

NKOTB went crazy over jing. In fact, everyone in the department knows( coz he say mah.). But it is so cute. I mean, ser and i only talked abt Jing to him on sun, he met her on monday, went movie with her and all of us to wong yesterday and he's like totally in 'love' with her.

He gushed that she is the one he's been looking for. the way she talk, the way she behave, her looks.....but how does one know? In a city as cynical as ours,is it still possible to believe in love at first sight?

And to make matters worse. Timberlake is back today. From his overseas stint, its been 4 months since Jing last saw him. Jing was jubilant! Can see it from the way she behave when she got his sms. Then NKOTB was so down. His mood was like a yoyo. So happy to see her and spend time with her. But he also can see that she is so happy coz of the sms.... his mood went to zero.

Jing was kinda like keeping her options open and waiting for timberlake at the same time. Can see that she's kinda confused about whats the outcome of timberlake and her. In the 1st place, will there be a beginning?

Is timing everything?

Poor NKOTB.

Push up count: Never do. Opps. Lazy

Runway.

Just finished watching the America's next top model. So interesting. I really like this show! All the fashion! The shoes! The clothes! The hair! The Girls! Woooo......* going crazy*

Feeling a bit sick. Wondering if pnemonia can spread? Or is it too much swimming pool water? sea water? sun? I dunno. A bit chest tight and wheezing. Thoart feels a bit funny. Decided to self medicate. 2 extra strong panadols and 10 mls of strepsils cough mixture. hahahahhahaha worse come to worse report sick tomorrow.

I think the training is making me feel funny. I actually enjoy it. I like feeling healthy and all the muscle aches. Its makes me feel alive. And i am really hoping that i can pass the selection end of this month. The 27th.

Gotta go zzzzzz. Feeling sleep deprived.

Push up count: 10 (???)
Countdown to selection: 22 days!

Row, row ,row your boat.

Yesterday been a lazy day. Slept till 1400hrs coz the night before brought mummyhelen to hospital. Spend the rest of the day lazing and finally at 1900hrs, decided to go out with R4 to Tmall to chill.

Went DB session today and surprisingly time passes fast today. I guess the daily training in camp paid off coz when we are rowing the actual boat, we still can cope. Its actually kinda fun too.
:p

Was already wet from the sea water, went to rinse with the tap water. When i am clean(though wet), there is a sudden downpour..... sigh.

Met ser in town today. Just chilled out at coffee club then met up with big willy and Jp for coffee at heeren's spinelli. After coffee, we went walk walk before big willy leaving to meet his wife and then we went for dinner at Din Tai Fang! Hahahahaha.. it was like eat eat eat n drink drink drink.

Feeling very pooped. And still haven't shower! My hair felt like HAY! So dry! Need loads of conditioner( for hair)and moisturiser(for skin)!

R4 is doing duty today. He did a silly thing today. He left his mobile in the car . Actually, the RP didn't allow me to send him into the unit unless i change pass but i was rushing for my DB session so i asked him to walk in himself. He's farking the RP under his breath and was so pissed that he had to walk in. I didn't noticed the mobile till it was too late. Felt so lost that i can't call him. So i did the next best thing. Called the guardroom. Waahahahhahahaha. He said he'll call me back. The day is ending and i'm still waiting for his call......

Push up count: 11 ( yippee! slight improvement. Better than nothing :) )

A&E

Guess what? The mini biathlon is really mini. In fact it is micro biathlon. Heheheheehhe
We did 3 sets of 200m swim plus 500m run to be completed in 30 mins.

After that was really tired but have to go for the audiometery test.

Bought mummyhelen to the CGH's A&E coz i'm worried that her shortness of breath and chest discomfort may be a heart attack of something.

Guess friday night everyone is partying or something, the A&E is ok. Not too busy. Soon it was mummy helen's turn. She did an ECG, the results shows a normal sinus rhythm however the chest x ray show that her left lung is hazy.

The dr's diagnosis is peumonia ( infection of the lung). I was so relieved that it is not an AMI or something.

Am feeling really sleepy.... will update more later....

Push up count: ZZZzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzz

***
I like the sound of water.

Time passes fast today. Morning had a C-PAM lesson, noon the usual DB training and after 1400 hrs, the 2nd session of C-PAM all the way till time to go home.

Tomorrow got mini biathlon as part of the DB training. Hope the Mini is really mini. Maybe like run 1km and swim 10 laps? Heehehheheheehee......

*prays really really hard*


Saw the email today that the training sessions in the afternoon are compulsary! I didn't know that. I just thought the encik was being on the ball..... sigh.

Felt a bit sick today, think R4 passed the flu bug over. Quickly popped some medicine and thank God that i am feeling ok now. Don't know about tomorrow though.

Had dinner and was waiting for the SINGAPORE IDOL to start. As usual, was rooting for my fav 2 bengs. Hehhehhhehehehhe

R4 took the initiative to vaccum and mop the floor today. I'm so touched by him . So to show him my appreciation,, i've decided to do the laundry. Haahahhahahahaha :)

Push up count: 10 ( WHEN CAN I EVER HIT 15!!!)

***

The Lifetime of a moment.... Opps. It's the Moment of a Lifetime.

Guess the DB training's effect is starting to show. I'm feeling tired and sleepy. Today's work out is a bit tough. In short, circuit, swim and strokes. Sigh... tomorrow still have training.....

Rushed to Cheong's ROM and was happy for them. They looked so radiant and so in love.

After they exchanged rings and when the Justice of Peace (JOP) said that "you may kiss the bride".... My mind drifted to 2 years ago when it was R4 and my turn.

I distinctly remembered that i saw from Ken & Avia's ROM that there is this part of kissing the bride and i so wanted it to be perfect. The day before our ROM, i even told him that there is this part and i hope that he can kiss me on the lips. Gently and lovingly, something like a peck. Not those passionate, X rated and slobberly kiss. He said sure, no prob.

I was so happy that 'The Kiss' will be the way i wanted. The perfect kiss.

Then when the moment came.....

JOP: "Mr Ong, You may now kiss the bride."
R4: * Smiling*
This is it... the perfect kiss. I stand still for him to kiss but... wait a min... he....

He kissed my forehead.

I was like *shocked* for 2 secs and everyone was clapping and congragulating but... i want my kiss....i was still in a daze that i didn't get my kiss and it was time for me to sign the cert.

Was happy that i am married to him but there is that twinge of disappointment that i didn't get the perfect kiss. To me, a kiss on a forehead is like for family, friends,pets but for people in love?

When R4 picked me up today from work, i told him abt Cheong's ROM and mentioned about their kiss.

San-d: too bad i don't have.
R4: Who call u so short.
San-d: It is a lifetime of a moment thing u know!
R4: Whats a lifetime of a moment?
San-d: Opps. I mean moment of a lifetime.
R4: *laughs* Anyway, a kiss of the forehead doesn't mean i love u any less. You see my friends, they kissed their wives on the lips during ROM, they still kiss other girls on their lips. I different, you won't see me kissing other girls on their forehead. Your forehead is special. * Grin Widely*

For that moment, i nearly believed him.

But when he added.....

R4: somemore your forehead so oily, if i don't love you a lot, you think i will kiss there meh?
San-d:* What the Fark...*

Sigh.

My Conclusion: maybe he was just nervous on that day and he didn't know what to do.

HahahahhahaaHahahahahah.

Pushup count: 10 ( Arms getting tired from the DB training)

***

Rainy...sunny...rainy...++

Was super lazy today...

Maybe due to the aches that are still present?

Went DB training, Did 8 laps of frontcrawl and 10 laps of breast stroke... then the powerlaps and the stroking practice......

So tired.

The weather is super cranky today. It was sunny then rainy then sunny then thunderstorm. Was so worried that i might be striked by lightning on my way back from the pool.

Wanted to see the show 'white chicks'. Got preview tixs to go. But work end late, too tired and no one want to go with me. I exhuasted all my revenues. So sad. So wasted the tixs. Sigh.....

R4 is not feeling well, got a sore thoart and fever is flaring up but he don't wanna see Doc. Thinks Panadol and woods cough mixture will cure it. Up to him la. And now nonsensical R4 is blahing to the TV programme's cooking show .... imitating the person introducing the cooking show.... But the show is in malay..... and he in his broken melayu goes... satu spoon... dua.. tiga.... ermm... erhmmm.... blah blah blah....

How i wish i am at the preview......

Sigh.

Push up count: Never do today. Too lazzzzyyyy.....*yawn*

***

Skins.

Ta-Duh!

Presenting my new template! Boo inspired! Hehehehehheeh

Woke up this morning by some phonecalls and can't go back to sleep anymore. So decided to have breakfast, stretchhhhhh.... and surf.

Talked to Wen, she looking for a place to stay, offered her my spare room, she says she'll think about it.

Afterwhich, i've been self learning how to make my blog more interesting, trying out different skins,modifying the layouts.... i must say this is very therapeutic! I really like the outcome! A bit too pinkish but no choice as this is the color of Boo!



Do i really look like her?? *wondering* hmmm.....

So to all my pals who think i look like her.... This one's for ya.


Push up count:6 ( can't really do with all muscle aching and the furkids wanting to attack me the moment i'm at the push up mode)

Suicide Mission Completed.

Today i completed my suicide mission.

Fortunately i survived (but with only some 'injuries').

Never in my whole life had i been so determined. I managed to complete the 21km run without giving up and managed to clocked it at 3hrs 10 mins.Though not a deh ner ner (i.e. good)timing but it is my virgin attempt and i'm proud of it.

Reasons why i am proud of it:
1. Never been much of a runner.
2. Left feet injured
3. Didn't thought i have the will power and to be able to complete.

What happened today:

Woke up at 0400(courtesy of Krisy's morning call), reach padang at 0510, run starts @ 0545hrs - super crowded and have to thank krisy who held my hand and lead me all the way to the middle, if not i'll take longer to finish. Its like a massive great singapore sale and everyone rushing to get freebies....

Was running all the way till the 6km mark when i felt a sharp pain at my ankle, thats when i know i'm in trouble. I realised that the morning wind and the crowd really motivates me to run.... but my feet is getting worse. When i reach east coast, i was running and walking and running and walking.

But i felt a bit lonely coz i was running alone as i'm the slowest in the team, but was so happy to see some familiar faces (friends from other units) along the way.

Noticed that there are many funny people running / walking/ jogging along with me.

- The whiners: Whined about everything, the run, the organisers, the distance, their work etc... I try to avoid people like them coz its very irritating and it brings down my morale.... so when i encounter such people, i try to run faster away from them.

- The buayas: These people bascially checking the female runners out. They'll go:" wah, chio bu!" "Wah, see her butt! " etc. Super disgusting.

- The cannot lose out to people kind: When they see their friends running faster then them, they will try all means to overtake their friends.

- The slow and steady kind: They will either walk or jog at a steady pace and go all the way.

- The walk in the park kind: They think this is a leisure stroll and will buy titbits, drinks and gossip all the way to the finishing point.

- The F1 kind: These people start late but try to run fast to catch up with the people in front or to beat their timing or something. You can find them swerving in and outta people like a formula one race.

When i reached beach road area, i felt like i was dying coz its 0800plus( the sun is shining so brightly!!),my feet hurts and the pain radiates to the knee....

I told myself that no way i can give up, i mean how stupid is it to give up at the 18km mark? So i lumbered on and when i finally reached the ending point..... I am so excited and when i looked up to see the time - 03:10:**(can't remember the secs), the pain in my feet and knee miraculously disappeared for the split second. Hee hee hee.

Went over to find encik and the rest of the team, did my stretching, called ser to meet her at funan for her to collect her x box and chilled till encik dismissed us.

Popped over to Funan to meet ser for breakfast at delifrance, collected x box, went over to Raffles city to collect the car then headed home.

After washing up, chilled , took a short nap....R4, ser and me went to compasspoint for Dinner @ Mos Burger.

Now at home, relaxing, resting : my poor aching feet, knee( from ahm) and my aching left butt, back, shoulder ( from DB).

R4 is at his usual X box mode but since he completed his Ninja game... he is now at his Spy mode ( currently playing splinter cell).
He think he is some ex navy seal carrying out some secret mission.

Can die.

Hahahahhahahhahaa.

Push up count: NIL( Ache like fark, how to do....)

***

Sea water gets in my eyes....

I'm supposed to be sleeping now but i can't.

Maybe coz R4 is not hm? I don't know. Always sleep late when he is not around.

Anyway...

The reason that i'm supposed to be sleeping now coz i am participating in tomorrow's AHM. have to report at 0530 hrs and to do 21km. I must be crazy. If i am well and all, it should not be that bad. But to send a "handicapped" poor me to go,I think this is suicide.

I think my feet problem is due to my shoes. Was wondering should i buy new shoes? But i wouldn't have time to break them in? But if i dun buy, my feet got no proper cushion? Sigh... WTF... like what R4 will say....."suffer u busted!"hahahahahha

Today went to my 1st DB session . (note: DB is dragonboat, not dragonball heheheh) It was fun, got a nice tan and on top of that.... also got a blister on my left hand, left butt ache, sea water in my eyes( coz from the splashing of the sea water) and feeling wet and sandy.

What long strokes, J strokes, short strokes, competition strokes, use your plunging hand, don't bend your elbow, anchor your feet...... thats pretty much it. hahahahahaaha

The officer in charge keep asking us if we are coming back.... like we have a choice... haahahaa....

Anyway, i really gotta go force myself to zzzzzz if not really suicide tomorrow.

Till then.

Push up count: 10 ( FINALLY! 5 more to go!)

My EP life.

Many events had happened these 2 days and i simply have no time to blog.

Event 1: Dragon(roar) Boat Training(start 22 sep).

Was informed by Encik Tim that Krisy and i had to participate in some Singapore river ragatta thingy and had to train for the team. We really don't know that we are in for. Swimming, practicing strokes, more swimming.... agghhhrr.....

Tomorrow morning at 0900 - 1200 ...more training..... sure will become as dark as a golliwog and have arms like popeye when the training ends....

Event 2: My injured Feet (left)(22 sep till now)

Injured my left feet/ankle after the 15km run. I think it is due to my shoes. It is not meant for running anything more than 5 km i guess. Also i don't think that i'm that conditioned to run 15 km(thats another issue altogether...hehheh)

The poor feet's pain intensifies each day and by today i'm limping like someone who has one leg longer than the other. When to see a sinseh today, she said i injured some nerve .. blah blah blah.... after the message, it still feels the same.... hmmmm.... see tomorrow how la... hopefully it gets better by sunday(AHM!!!- e killer day.)

Event 3: Steve & Jean's ROM (23rd Sep)

This cute couple decided to tie the knot finally (after much 'what ifs'). Hehehehhee...The whole gang turned up at the wedding, it was a very nice event... everyone is happy..... though there were the usual ROM/marriage jokes. Hahahahahaha.

Event 4: Bartop dancing heats 2 @ Wongs (23rd sep)

Jac kept talking abt it.

So we decided to go and see.

Some were so nice, sexy, senusal that my nose almost sprut blood that i may need to stuff it with tampons to stop the bleeding. Hehehehhee

Others were plain crappy , think pole dancing is holding the pole and shake or worse still, saw one that danced round the pole like it was some ritual dance. wahahahahhahh .There was this girl who was drunk/high/on drugs??? thhat when she danced, she could hardly balance and even tripped on her way down the stage! These are the kind that it makes it painful to even watch.

The funny part is that we are being fed the wrong information by jac and was there @ Wongs since 2045. The heats was on only @ 2230. Jac came down at 2130 and was yakyakyak by me.
The only consolation is that we managed to conquer the bar counter and had a very good view of the heats. :P

Event 4: Dinner & Dance(24 sep)

Just came back from the D&D. Overall was quite ok but the entertainment is boring and the events company hired by the organisers are the same that the previous D&D used. So the jokes are recycled. Sigh...

The food was ok and there was this cute waiter with floppy hair! Hahhahahha didn't catch his name though coz the nametag is very small. Anyway can see that he must be those poly student waitressing @ banquets to earn pocket money kind. I think he is the best thing at the D&D, hehehehehe eye candy mah. :p

I guess thats all for now. Feeling really pooped! So tired. Tomorrow morning still got DB session @ 0900.... Wah..... *sobz*

Push up count: Still 9. (This is getting no where!)

My friends say i look like her. Don't know to be happy or sad.

Omigosh... Time??!!

Wake up late today. Supposed to be at ECP @ 0715 but i woke up @ 0650.

Changed and practically floored it to ECP as fast as i can... i was likw 120....110....120....*darting glances to see there are no tps* and when i finally reach ECP at 0720... someone else is also late too... agghhhrrrr.... but luckily i'm not the latest. Hee heeh eeheehee

The reason why i am at ECP so early is that i am going to do the impossible(to me) today. That is to conquer 15km. The warm up was ok and surprisingly i do not have any -ve feelings today towards the run. My mood was pretty ok.

Then the run starts....

2mins: Still with the group
4mins: I am lagging.... but still can see the group
4min30sec: The group is getting further... but i can still see ah lai... hahah he also lagging.....
6 mins: Where the fark are they??
15 mins: Er.... which route to run.... where r they?
30mins: Waterpoint 1..... yeah....huh? what u mean this is only 4 km?? I ran 4km in 30 mins? thats freaking slow!!!!!
45mins: Saw the guys running back already.
1hr 15mins: Hello, ser.... i wannna die.... i running 15km... wahahahhaha*wailing to sihui via hp coz running alone boring*
1hr 30 mins: Where am i.... my ankle hurts.... wah got cute angmoh guy cycle past.... must pretend to run... heehee
1hr 45 min: Yeah.... see mac Donalds... very fast reach big splash..... huh... the rocks says 6km... meaning i have to run 1.5km to ending point... there must be a mistake...
2hrs: Huff puff.... kill me.... my ankle..... end of run.... hiya.... my leg like numb..... tonight sure ache like fark... stretch san-d SSSSSTTTTTRRREETTCCHHHHHHHHHH!

After this agonising 2 hrs run, walk, jog, crawl watever u call this attempt, we went to eat mac D. The sausage egg muffin never tasted so nice and the iced milo.... yummy!

In the end, i have to drive all the way back camp ,smelly tired me with my acheing ankle.

Spent the rest of the afternoon resting, back to office check mail, helping encik with Access and waiting for 1730 so that i can go home!!!

Went to fetch R4 from work too then have dinner then came home and horror part2: the furbabies brought down the clothes rack!!!! I was like : FArk FArk FArk.... Agghhhhhh then all 3 ran to the 'hiding place' aka underneath the kitchen cabinet. Heh heh heh heh.

Was online all the way till now updating my blog. Did nonsense stuff mainly some personailty tests and uploaded it on my multiply. Hahahahhahaha

R4 got a shocked when he checked mail and it was 38 mails! With more than half is multiply's alerts. ahahahahhahahahaha

R4 nonsense ways( part1): talking to furkids(dogs)

Scene 1: R4 went to take his x box controller, ready to morph into his NINJA mode when he suddenly noticed somthing.....

R4: San san, get off the chair.
sansan: *stares blankly at him while sitting on his comfy brown leather chair*
R4: *raise voice a bit* San san, get off the chair!!
sansan: *cannot be bothered*
R4: Airle, go and ask sansan get off the chair.
Airle:* also stare blankly at him*
R4: Darling u see san san ....... ( i cannot he bothered too~ ha ha to him)
R4: Sansan, i sit on u arh.... * while attemtping to sit on sansan*
Sansan:*jumps off * (must be thinking he is a nut case)
R4: *happily sits on chair and morph into RYU HAYABUSA aka ninja mode.

TheEnd.

Hehehehhehehehehehehehe

Push up count: 9 standard, can do up to 15 non standard.
P/s:Oh Ya... heard the selection is on 27th Oct.... Gan Ba Deh!!!! Jia you! Wo-AHHHHHH!

Furry Trio.... Little terrors.... My furkids!

***

Smile a lot. It confuses people.

Today R4 did a stupid thing.
He tot he got dental appt. In the end, he went and realised it the wrong day.
Have to go back camp in the end. Make me waste my off day for nothing.
Tot can spend some time with him.

Sigh.

Anyway, met ser @ around 3pm and we went to look for the wedding pressie part 2.
Went to swaroski crystal and to cut a long story short, we got her 1 pair of very cute crystal squirrels in the end. We then also bought a pair of japanese wedding couple ornaments and

viola!
Jean & Steve wedding pressie hamper!

Ser offered to wrap for us. I felt so paisay, coz jean also not her close friend but was grateful that she did.

Went home n to my horrors of horrors, the furkids savaged my laptop adapter. Nearly wanted to make minced meat outta them but i kept my cool. In the end, i just pretend to want to wallop them and they were so scared all of them went to hide underneath the kitchen cabinet. Wahahahahaha.

R4 and i packed our wardrobe and i realised i can't stand the way he asked me questions.

We were packing our clothes and tidying up the wardrobe. And i brought my pile of clothes down to fold. I knew beside me is the soiled bedsheet. But i don't give a damn.

R4: Do u know what is beside your pile of clothes?
San-d:* just turn around to take a quick glance, feeling a bit irritated*
R4: Darling, do u know what is placed there beside your pile of clothes?
San-d: why do u have to be so sacarstic?
R4: No.... I ....
San-d: why can't u just tell me that it is near the soiled sheets, why can u say, eh, your clothes is near the soiled sheets?
R4: thats the way i talk.. er...
San-d: Then change the way u talk! i can't stand the sarcasm!
R4:*sulking*

Just don't understand?? Why must he speak like this??? Why can't he be straight to the point.

That is only part one.

Subsequently.....

After packing up the clothes, i went to shower and was online when he came outta the room....

Seeing that i was talking on the phone and using the net, he asked...

R4: Are the clothes washed already?

i was like...... *volcano erupting*

San-d: can't u just go to the washing machine to see?

Hiya!!! i am doing things mah. Not like i shaking leg watch tv or something! Really wondering why is he programmed like that.....

Push up count:9! ( keep it coming!!!!!)

Still of the night.

So late.

Can't sleep.

MTV stills play crappy songs. They think no one watching it at this time of the day?

I like falling in love. Its great, its fun , its spontaneous and that special feeling in your heart.

But the aftermath sucks.

*singz* All this time you are pretending.

So much for my happy ending. *singz*

Push up count: still 7...... *beep po beep po beep bo*

***

Oh well.

Nothing to do. So bored. Can't sleep.

Chatting with Ser on MSN. Listening to crappy songs on MTV. Really hoping for nice songs... but....

Anyway, today had a nice surprise in the morning. Mummy bought bird nest up to my place. How nice of her. Then realise is elgin that noti brat wanna play x box. Hahahahha. So got woken up pretty early.

Ser n i had lunch then R4 came home from work. We just chilled then went to town to get wedding pressie for Jean & Steve. Decided to get her losta stuff with our combined amount, than to buy her one expensive gift. Like that more fun. Wahahahahah.

Wen smsed me this morn that fat commando wanna cool things off between them. Was shocked to hear. Felt so sad for her. This is the 3rd break up i heard in less than 2 mths.

I think break-up is an epidemic. It is spreading..... like SARS.... like bird flu.....

Ok. I just being nonsenscial. Heh heh heh.

But am really sad for her. In short, she did a charlotte and he did a philip. If u know what i mean.

Today R4 knew that MJ will be working . He was like gushing over the fact that she's working. I was like "So? Whats the biggie?" He said with her character, she don't work etc. I was like WTFFFFF?? Anyway to cut the long story short, we went, peeped, she was there, we went dinner, came back, she left, he sad.

Hahahahhahaahahahaha. OR BEeeeeeee to him.

I really can't see what's the fascination with her?
I always get that feeling when he talk abt MJ. Not only talk,when msning, emailing, friendstersing etc. She is like his goddess, i'm just like the back on earth wifey. This is sucky farky. With this going on, how can you get to the future if the past is still present?

Gotta do something about this fascination with MJ.

Woahahahahhahahhhaah*evil luff* (like real)

Pushup count: 7 ( this is an improvement!) & MTV is still playing crappy songs!!!!
