Creamy Pasta... Yum!

I spent e last few days going to supermarkets, preparing ingredients, cooking e whole day most of e times. Since my mum is not ard, she went to Genting... I haf lots of time n space to cook...

I posted my Bolognaise Pasta pics tt time...

http://celestine-seow.blogspot.com/2005/03/pasta-day.html

So i had decided to move on n try to cook creamy pasta instead... I dun look at recipes, i think of e ingredients myself, so i never know whether im right or wrong, as long as it tastes gd... Lolx...

Of coz, i not only cooked cream pasta... I cooked many other things as well, i cooked porridge, fried rice, noodles, etc... Had so much fun cookin lately... But thot of showing e pasta since tis is e 1st time i tried cookin e dish...

However, baking myself in e oven temperature ktichen kills me... I change 3 sets of clothes whenever i cook, which is y i feel i cant take it up as an occupation, even though i love to cook... Haha...

So anyways, tis is e result... I cooked tis yesterday night btw...


Tats not egg yolk, its yellow pepper... Sorry tt i didnt make it look better to shoot, i was too hot and i jus wanted to get it over n done wif... On top is honey glazed roast chicken n cheeze...

For my 1st try, im proud of myself, haha... Even though im dun favour cream pasta, but tis dish actually made me crave for more surprisingly... Usually, i dun even crave for another bowl of my bolo pasta even though it tastes simply great... Coz like i mentioned, i dun really digest pasta well, so i get very sick after eating it, but i still love to cook it and cook for others... Love to see they like it n haf e very full smile on their faces... Haha

Its tastes gd, even though abit different fr wat i imagined n tasted at Pasta Cafes... But it still tastes gd, but i wan to make it better, meanwhile i'll jus settle for tis way 1st...

I made wrong amt calculation errors though, i wanted to cook only one serving, but i ended up wif tis amt after scoopin into my big bowl...


Scary... How to finish???

I even went to Turf City to specially buy tis cheap frying pan to cook tis dish, haha, coz my house only got big chinese wok, and i hate to use tt... I bought a set of frying pan, 3 sizes for only $12.90... Cheap cheap, luckily it didnt melt... Lolx... Tis is e medium one, i regreted using tis, i shd haf used e biggest one, coz i didnt know tt ive cooked so much... I nearly spilled my milk all over...

But then, even after tt amt, i still haf so much ingredients left... Take a look!


There's mushrooms, wanted to buy white mushrooms but due to budget i bought cheap shitake mushroom instead... And somehow i prefer tis... Its softer... Then also, theres honey glazed roast chicken, sliced onions, i cried heavily over tt again as usual, luckily Pappy wasnt affected even though hes sitting beside me... Chopped garlic, sliced tomates, yellow, red n green peppers...

I think Shuzhen will like tis dish, coz its so vegetarian, i can remove e chicken for her, since its jus added on top anyway... She likes fish, maybe i can use fish instead... Honey grilled fish? Yum!

So much ingredients left, how? And i haf 200% tis amt uncut in e fridge somemore, maybe i'll haf to cook again tmr if its unspoilt, maybe i cook back bolo pasta? See how bah...

Weird Muscular Guy

Its funny how ppl assume pet owners r friendly n approachable... Ever since i own Pappy, so many ppl haf been toking to me, or i wld earn a smile at least...

I couldnt avoid any day walkin Pappy wifout strangers coming up to me...

Bleah... I dun like tt!!! Especially ah peks, ji ko peks, uncles, n hokkien speaking old ppl, i dun understand hokkien... I shd put a sticker of "Leave Me Alone, Stranger!" on my tee tmr onwards...

Met a uncle e day before, he tok to me in hokkien, i dun understand, but can sort of figure out his words... I only returned him patronising short short ans in mandarin...

Unless im at e dog run, then i dun mind chatting wif other pet owners about dogs... But tis is my neighbourhood, and i only wan to bring Pappy down to poo poo... So leave me alone!!!

Its like jus becoz i own a dog, strangers r entitled to walk up to me, jus becoz i own a dog, i got to tok to u, jus becoz i own a dog, i got to smile back when u smile at me, jus becoz i own a dog, i got to let u touch Pappy!!!

Im rather possessive, i dun like jus anyone to come up to my dog and say, "cute cute", then anyhow touch Pappy... Especially uncles n weird weird ppl... I also hate to see ppl run away fr my dog, fearing he'll pass some diseases to u, but tt i cant help, jus tt Pappy is so tame... I especially hate workin class females *tsk* me to scold me silently, n avoid me n Pappy in one big circle, to draw a line btween their higher-class-status-who-think-dogs-owners-r-dirty-n-low n us... Damn!!!

So anyway, today in e lift i met tis guy...

I was rushin to e lift, coz i dun like to share lift, avoiding small kids who will tell their mummy, "Eeeee, mummy, scared scared ...". When i got inside, a 20+ muscular guy, who apparently jus came back fr a jog, appeared in front of me out of no where and started a conversation wif me...

Guy: Err, can u carry ur dog?

Me: (Sigh...) Sure! (Putting on a false understanding cheery smile)

(Proceed to carry my heavy heavy Pappy n gave up trying to press e buttons. I personally dun like to carry Pappy ard, coz hes super heavy, even though he looks small, but hes so heavy, i'll let u carry him n see if u come visit, then u'll know wat i mean...)

Then, e guy came in... I tried to reach out my hand, wif e heavy heavy Pappy, to press e button but he reaches out sooner... He then pressed his storey... 9th storey...

Guy: Which floor?

Me: Floor? (Paiseh lah, i couldnt adjust my brain at tt moment, all coz i was spending all my energy carrying my heavy Pappy)

E guy thought i said "Four", n nearly proceeded to press 5th Storey button... Which is real silly coz y would i tell him which storey exactly i stay...

Me: (Exclaimed) 12th pls! Thks! (Which in actual fact is e storey i stay as well, but nvm...)

I though tis is it... Until he looked at me n opened his mouth...

Guy: So wat dog is tis?

Me: Its a Papilon. (Gave a patronising smile)

Guy: Oh Papilon! (As though he knoes wat i jus said, if hes not weird, i will go on explaining tt Papilon is also aka known as Butterfly dogs coz of their fluffy ears, though my Pappy doesnt look like butterfly, coz hes botak, somehow his fur is short... Duno is it grow slow or will never grow longer liao, since i suspect hes not pure breed, he look like a jack russel...)

Guy: So u got tis dog fr???

Me: ??? (Wat a stupid qns) Fr petshop... (Avoiding his eye contact)

Guy: Petshop? Oh, i see... So how much u bought him? $300?

Tis pt, i nearly bash him up if im not carrying e heavy Pappy... Where would u find a puppy for $300??? Tell me lah, then i go buy straight!!! Petshop puppies arh!!! I told my sis, and she said maybe e guy see Pappy ugly, at 1st wonder maybe duno where pick up, then so ugly still so ex. Aiyo, where to find Papilons on e street???

Me: $400. (Usual is $600, but coz they reduce pricin when puppies grow bigger, so my big sis waited till e price dropped...)

Guy: $400??? WOW!!!

Me: ... (Smile smile)

Guy: You jus kept tis dog right?

Tis moment i thot hes my neighbour, if not how would he knoe i jus kept it, Pappy is not like Bondie who was jus a obvious puppy palm size then, Pappy is about my lower arm's length... If i dun say, usually ppl duno hes a puppy... So i looked up and saw he pressed 9th storey... So confirm he not neighbour, n ive never noticed him be4 anyways... Weird...

Me: Yup...

Lift door opened!!! Finally!!!

Guy: Alright, take care ya? See ya ard...

Me: Take care... ( N i quickly put down my heavy Pappy)

Gosh, e lift ride had never seemed so long before...

Its like jus becoz i own a dog now, i got to encounter uneccessary conversations... I used to own dogs as well, but i was a kid then, so ppl dun bother me... But now... Aiyo, go out like wearing mask leh, got to make myself smile smile n ans ppl, like very rude if i jus ignore them... Oh well...

Will post some pics of Pappy tmr...

Cheapskate Mediacorp

Wed to Thurs 11pm-12am is Anime Double Bill time weekly on Arts Central... I used to watch e 1st 2 series tt they launched which is Inuyasha and Twelve Kingdoms, both excellent animations wif great stories...

But of coz tat was many many mths ago, coz i stopped watching after they ended Inuyasha season 1... Which i later on continued carrying e craze over VCDs... Surprisingly, Inuyasha got so much "promoted" by e arts central, so much so tt i realised all my working colleagues had been rushin home to catch e anime then...

Then e disappointment came when they stopped Inuyasha at epi 27 season 1. I thot they r going to continue but of coz, being cheap skate they didnt... They soon replaced e slots wif seasons 1 of many many other boring anime shows... Some were so boring n lousy tt i believe their viewership had greatly reduced...

I was watching e Amazing Race and during commercial jus now, i thot i woukd check out Arts Central to see wat anime they r screening now... To my horror, they r screening a familiar animation...

???

INUYASHA...

So i thot finally they caught up to screen e second season, while i watch a few more seconds... I saw another horror!!!

Guess wat?

It's e 1st episode!!! They r screening Inuyasha 1st season fr epi 1 again!!!

CHEAPSKATE!!!

Who do they think e viewers r!!! Its like a dey-ja-voo... Terrible...

Dun understand them... Nvm...

Pappy Peed On Me

Last Sunday morning was hot, ridiculously hot, horribly hot!!! No, actually these few days is hooooooooottttttttt... Im sweating even wif e fans on... Cant take it anymore... My Pappy, as i mentioned is damned warm like my hands, so carrying him is like carrying a ball of fire!!! Worsen my heated up body...

He seems to haf develop heat rash at his underside, e whole portion which is burning... I'm afraid he'll heat to death, so i sometimes sprinkle water on him n put some powder... So ive decided to ON e fan in e living rm at night when he sleeps...

But of coz, i got scolded for tt as usual, for wasting electricity... And i haf to compensate e back by cutting my using of computer times... Oh well... Anything for my son...

Anyways, Sun morning, i was woken up by smses... I woke up to get ready to bring Pappy to e dog run... Think most prob, tis will become my sunday routine fr now on... Waited for big sis n bro in law n bondie to pick us up...

After i got in e car, Bondie gave a disgusted look again coz he saw Bondie... Usually, he will jump to me if he sees me, but think he hates me now coz i smell of another dog... Sadz... Oh well, Bondie!!! Y mus u be so anti-social!!! I couldnt get used to Bondie's look after seeing my Pappy everyday... Somehow, Bondie's head becum smaller, more feminine, muzzle shorter, coz my Pappy's got a very male face... Haha, not used to it lah...

While on e way there, my big sis, ask me to exchange, haha... Then i carried Bondie, wao... Hes damn light man, my Pappy is so heavy...

Then reached Pet Movers there at Pasir Ris, we let our dogs at e dog run... Pappy's 1st time there, i think he likes it... He ran about frantically... He went to play wif all e dogs, big or small, n went to play wif all e humans too... Everybody likes him, like wat my 2nd sis says, hes got "REN YUAN" gd affinity wif ppl... He went to play wif one huge Golden Retriever which is 50 times bigger than him, i was worried at 1st, but e Golden Retriever is a very sweet dog, he even came to sayang me...

Bondie on e other hand, as usual, being his anti-social self, went to stay at a corner, away fr all dogs n humans except my big sis... Some dogs went to play wif him, but he jus hid behind my big sis... He also ignored my Pappy and even growled at him... Poor Pappy!!! We kept saying e rascal Bondie no use, hes a loner, kena out cast one... He bahaves like an autistic dog, who dun makes frenz... But he do chase after females, tt is if he even got close to find out...

I told my sis, "Bondie arh, very bad, dun wan frenz, only wan sex!"

Bondie is obssessed wif my big sis, whenever she leaves, he will go crazy... He developed a condition called Separation Anxiety, which e animal will feel super lost n insecure when taken away fr mummy... Even when my sis only left to buy drinks... Sigh, Bondie arh!!!

E trip was great, realised Pappy is a super friendly dog... Many ppl tell me hes very cute, even when i bring him out to walk everyday, i get compliments fr strangers wherever i go... Heh... Think he really super got "REN YUAN", not like me... Haha... He drank so much water, but didnt poo or pee there... Hmph...

Anyways, during e dog run, got a dog eating competition... My sis asked me bring Pappy join, coz he super greedy dog, sure win one... But i dun wan... Lucky i didnt, they give rice, my Pappy cannot eat rice yet...

Then we went to buy some stuffs for e dogs... I bought a retractable leash for Pappy, so tt he can run about, its 5M... I used e tradditional leash before tt, n he couldnt even walk far before he's stuck! I chose a green one, heh, so happy, used it today, so nice, can tell my Pappy very happy can run further away...

We then went to visit Cookie, sigh, so sad, still no news... Then as we stood under e blazing sun wif no shade or trees, i soon nearly fainted... Scary, so hot, so we left... And coz Pappy is black on top, hes super warm as well... And hes so heavy, my arms super strained carrying him for hrs...

E inside of e car is super hot as well, so i feel baked n giddy... I turned darker again, i didnt put on my sun block coz if i do, dogs will shun me, n i dun wish for tt... 15 mins in e car only, Sg began pouring heavily, its ridiculous, wat kind of weather is tt...

Coz it was pouring, we decided to cruise ard, lookin at lovely apartments n houses, meanwhile tokin about potential business opportunities... Then Pappy slept on my lap all e time, guess he was too exhausted fr all e running...

We stopped at a nearby multi storey carpark coz they wan to eat e otah they bought... Jus when e car stopped... My Pappy PEED ON ME!!! I was wearing white shorts somemore... And his pee soaked my panty, shorts, slippers, my waist pouch n wet e seat... I shd haf known better, he didnt wee for so long...

I left him in e car while i clean up... Strange thing is his urine is usually super yellow n smelly, but tis time its different... Jus when we thot every thing's fine, Pappy puked in e car... He vomited all his breakfast, i then realised he didnt bite his food, he simply swallowed, coz his puke came out as whole pieces... iiiieeeewwwwwwww.....

Haha, he kena motion sickness again... Same prob as me. Like mother like son, next time i mus bring plastic bag liao, not for me tis time, since he cannot control... Puppies us wait till 9 mths then will start to control bladder... Aiyah, meanwhile i bring diapers out liao...

Oh guess wat, i conclude my Pappy's not mute... He barked jus a moment ago!!! Finally, so cute to hear his rare voice, i even laughed out... I was bathing then when i came out, i hear him crying... Then i went out to see, he pooed so i cleared his mess, my mum came out n told me he barked one time jus now, i couldnt believe it...

After i returned to my rm, i hear him crying again, coz he wans me to come out of his play pen, and wans me to play wif him... But got to ignore him so tt he will go to sleep... And then a moment later i heard e magical word, a soft "ARK" !!! I giggled, so cute, its even softer than his whining... THough one time only, but im still happy, its as though hearing ur baby call u "mummy" for e 1st time...

Hes a quiet dog, tts gd now tt i assure tt hes not mute, jus tame only... Wun disturb neighbours... Even e humans r more noisy than him in e house... My neighbours mus be wondering wat we scolding everyday since Pappy never bark... Papilons seldom bark actually, so u like some peace, Papilons e choice...

Luv u Pappy, grow well, my boy...

Money Gone

Tis is scary...

To think i tried to save n scrimp for so long, ok, besides times when im out wif Shuzhen, usually i'll spend a bomb wif her, duno y...

Jus a half an hr walkin trip to AMK central under e ridiculous blazing heat n rays... $116.90 actually got deducted fr my bank acc...

Y?

Sigh... Coz i was bored n i forgot i borrowed 2 bks fr Jul, so ive decided to make a trip to e VCD shop to check something...

Yes... Check my Inuyasha newest release... I was even prayin tt they dun haf latest ones so tt i can return home guilt free...

So i went there, n as usual, only one VCD shop has wat i wan... Most shops stop their INu collection till Box 5, duno y...

I stepped into e shop to go to e usual shelf where they put e whole Inu collection top to bottom, but only to realise it had been replaced by chinese shows... Weird, i panicked for a moment coz they r e only shop which has e latest Inu boxes, if they stop, where e hell am i supposed to buy them fr?

I then hopped ard e shop, meanwhile lookin for any interesting shows on my pending list but seen nothin...

Then i saw it, e section where they moved all e anime shows... They actually placed them at e entrance, so smart, goes to show tt they had been sellin...

I wanted to get Love At Dolphine Bay also if its under $30, coz i missed one epi out for dinner at J8, n another coz i accompanied Jul cut her hair at bugis... N to continue chasing e show, i would haf to follow up on tv for mths... I hate tt...

Anyways, i saw it!!! INUYASHA BOX 9 & 10... Wahahahah...

I sweared i stood there for 5 mins... Coz i couldnt decide whether to buy or not, and also, my brains not workin... It all seems like my eyes were playing tricks, coz i took 2 boxes, one moment im holdin 2 Box 9, e next im holdin on 2 box 10... Worst is, stupid shop tempted me wif e following, they import 2 INUYASHA OVA!!! Wah biangz... So bad of them to tempt me like tt... EVIL!!!

Sigh... I swear i was possessed then, coz at tt moment i suddenly turned immature, childish n insensible... Coz?

I took all of them!!!

Yes, so i bought Inu Box 9, 10, 2 Inu OVAs, n Love at Dolphine Bay... I even haf to sneak e stuffs in to my rm but my mum caught me sneakin... Sigh... I told her i bought 1 cartoon, then she later saw i was watching Love At Dolphine Bay... Damn it...

Haven finish e shows though, tis time theres too many shows to watch... Coz of e shows n burning weather, i even ignored my puppy n didnt bring him go down to walk also... I hid myself in my rm watching e shows, while my puppy scratched my door n whined outside... Bad mummy i noe, but i was possessed remember???

Love At Dolphine Bay is great, e best taiwan series ive watched so far... It can even be compared to e so famous Korean series Endless Love... Coz tis show is not draggy n slow... E story progresses rather fast, lots of twists, but alot of tears... I cried almost every epi, i love tragic love dramas... I anticipates it on TV even more than Takuya Kimura's Gd Luck... Haha, im surprised since im a fan of jap dramas...

Inuyasha's story is so gd, so much better now tt its near e end... Animation, colors, stories, villians, all moved up to a new level...

I am happy happy happy, almost complete my Inuyasha Set, think about 2 - 3 boxes left... Yea!!!

Blog Famous

Haha, i cant stop tis entry after seeing e post of Mr Brown's latest... Mr Brown is called immature!!! 1st time i haf heard in ages...

Excerpt fr their blog:
After reading the comments left over the last few days I have re-read the article and it appears to me that Singapore hasn't changed.


Yes I am aware of some very mature blogs written by anonymous bloggers, to name just two, the likes of Wannabe Lawyer, Singapore Commentator stand out but go read the likes of MrBrown, Xiaxue and other certain blogs that shall not be named, and it is full of infantile concerns or pulling silly faces.

But hey, these ur so called immature bloggers r e ones famous okie? They r e ones who earned themselves column writing jobs thru blogging... Haha...

Eg, e new star Xiaxue... Shes damn bloody famous, known famous for her controversial writings, RA writings, n of coz her extensive use of vulgarities n her take on sensitive issues, like religion? sex? etc... And of coz, her photoshopped pics of herself...

Damn, shes e same age as me somemore... She earned herself fashion ambassador titles, freelance writings in today, newpaper, magazines...etc.. Ppl even wan her autographs when they meet her on e streets...

If u visit her blog, im sure most of u will start cursing her, n flame her like those ppl who placed 200 over comments in each of her entries... But bottom line is she got famous thru her blogging... They earned their writing jobs thru bloggin. Receiving more than 10,000 viewers to her site daily is no easy task...

If they r so called immature... Then wouldnt it seem ironic tt local publish firms actually hire ppl who r immature, after seeing their immature blogs... Ppl r not so dumb... Or so i presummed...

E world of blogging is fascinating yet as complex as e actual world... For makin such so personal journals into internationally n publicly acclaimed issues... Scary man... Think i shd jus start writing about puppies n flowers n WAT A WONDERFUL WORLD~~~~

Lolx

Share wif u guys one funny post written about IR by Mr Brown in his blog,

Gambling & Genting

Speakin of gambling... Tis 2 conversations happened recently... One is during e last time I went Genting, wif my mum, big sis n bro in law few mths ago...

Im a Genting lover, coz i go there 1 or 2 times a yr... No, im not into gambling or casino, i dun gamble at all, not even balckjack... Haha... I hate gamblers n gambling, so dun even try to ask me go play mahjong, i will be seriously turned off, be it guy or gal, fren or foe or strangers...

Y?

Coz i haf a mum who gambles her time away... She always tell me tt her life is miserable, n e only thing tt will make her happy is to gamble, so we shdnt stop her... Watever... I hate gambling so much coz i lost my only home then, when i was 13, to her gambling... Ever since then, i had to live under e roof of others... I even slept at playgrds alone be4 when e landlords i had were sooooo... Nah, dun wan to tok about them...

Dun even undermine e power of mahjong alone... Mahjong is not a few bucks game to kill time like wat most housewives would defend... Of coz its not only mahjong tt she gambled on, its those undergrd casinos in sg tt took our house away... Yes ppl, we haf alot of undergrd casinos already, and its been there ever since im young... Raidings couldnt help, coz they set up one after another...

Ppl has been gambling... Wif or wifout e casino in e IR... Even my paralysed father is betting on 4D $100 weekly... I love e IR n e design, tt way, i would haf new hotels to stay, new theme parks, new attractions to go... Ideally, i of coz wld hope there will not be a casino inside... But, as far as im concerned, i will never step in out of own will... Besides, y shd i pay $100 to get in anyway... U can always blacklist ur family members as well...

Lets tok about genting, for jus 80 ringit, u can get a to n fro coach (a gd coach somemore) n a night of hotel stay... Besides, its jus a few hrs of comfortable ride away, though terrible for me as i haf motion sickness... My mum's going next wk 1 night stay for jus 40 ringit, its a promotion... Wif prices like these... Who e hell willl wan to gamble in e IR?

$100 sing to ringit will be about $220, wif 220 ringit, i can stay at genting for 2 nights, wif a gd coach, eat, do some shoppin n even play unlimted at e 2 theme parks...

Anyways, tts not wat i wan to tok about...

So e 4 of us were having dinner when my mum suddenly had tis idea...

Mum: We bring her go in casino lah, since she never go in be4...

Me: Dun wan...

Mum: Y dun wan?

Me: Go in for wat, i dun gamble...

Mum: Aiyah, go play play lah... Go in see see at least, u so suay ku (mountain tortoise) n stupid never go in be4... U sure kena laugh by ppl...

Me: Dun wan lah, i dun like, u all go urself, i go walk ard...

Mum: Wah, see how bian tai (pervert) she is! So pervert, now so young start to haf old virgin attitude (lao chu nu), she crazy one... Duno y my daughter like tt...

Me: ...

Ok, i knoe im still underage... But i look old remember? So its not a prob to go in, jus tt i find it ptless, n i dun understand y refusing to enter casino means im pervert... Besides, it stinks inside coz they smoke inside... M'sia dun haf e cannot smoke in public places law, u can smoke in e hotel lobby as well... Yucks!

Another conversation, when we were out in a car about a mth plus ago...

Big Sis's fren: Celes, u play mahjong bo? Next time can play together!

Mum: Aiyah, u ask her for wat, she so stupid duno how to play mahjong...

Me: I dun gamble...

Big Sis's fren: Cannot lidat say(to me), learn to play mahjong is to entertain old ppl, next time can accompany ur mum play when shes bored or ur parents in law...

Ya wat crap...

Mum: Aiyah, she no use one lah, she dun gamble at all one... Sigh... Duno y my daughter so pervert, no use, dun gamble... Duno y she so pervert... Pervert... Useless... Bian Tai!

Paiseh ah, coz she use too many bian tai words i got to tok back... Rude to mum i knoe, dun preach at me...

Me: U then pervert one leh... Ppl raise their children and thk god if they dun gamble, n appreciate it, u ah, children dun gamble u scold them pervert...

Mum: ...

Big Sis: Yalor!

She extra also, now then speak up...

Sigh...

Nvm, anyways i will be going to Genting wif Shuzhen tis coming May... Managed to convince my mum not to follow, coz she did last yr, and we didnt enjoy our trip... Very excited, will take lots of pics... Will be buying e tickets next week...

I like to go Genting for few reasons...

1) Ridiculously Cheap
For 3D 2N, u will never find a better deal in sg, even chalet is so much more ex... I like to eat International Breakfast Buffet at their famous cafe... Only 15 ringit each, where to find in sg? Normal sg hotels already at least $15 sing each...

2) Familiar
Genting is one place i knoe almost inside out outside in... Or at least, familiar enough to lead... I knoe wats there, where to walk etc... So no insecurities...

3) Safe
Genting of coz is relatively safer than other places... As long as i dun gamble n wear heavy jewellries... We wanted to go KL, but 2 girls, eerrr, dun wish to appear in headlines...

4) Not so boring compared to last time
After e ravamped Genting, wif 2 themeparks, they morhped into a shoppin hub, so not as boring as few yrs back... Now still got many places to shop shop... Sometimes their clothes like diesel, U2, Giordano, Blush, etc even haf sales, and its cheaper than buying in sg... Even though its so called high class tourist attraction, wif some scouting ard, u can still get some nice n gd deals...

5) Weather
Ahh... How will i forget... No pimples, no oily faces... E weather's great... Not as freezing as yrs old, but its still cool enough... Breathtakin views, breathin in e clouds all makes it like a paradise... Well, almost... N e staffs there r super frendly, if i was to find a place, i can jus grab any loitering staff, n they always knoe...


But one thing for sure, if u r e type who r particular about hotels, dun stay at 1st World Hotel, it will make u feel like never going back again... But then, its super cheap, one night only 72 ringit... Catered for poor gamblers actually... But no choice im on budget trip, so i shall bear wif it...

My fav is Resort Hotel.. Medium budget, only $100+ ringit... But its always full if u book 2 mths before... If u haf lots of money n not scared of spooky or horror stuffs like creeps or finding a corpse under e mattress u sleep in, definately choose back Genting Hotel n Highland Hotel... Pricin same as Sg hotels...

Shuzhen told me she misses Genting, so Genting shall be it then... Cant wait to breath e on top of moutain amist e clouds fresh air... I had a miserable time there last yr, hope tis trip will compensate wat i felt...

Im not sayin Genting is e best place to go... Jus saying for a budget tight me, tts as far a great deal for me... For jus 100 sing, u cant expect to see e whole world right? Heh...

35,000 New Jobs

35,000 new jobs! 35,000 new jobs! 35,000 new jobs!

Yea, funny how so many ppl r ranting about tis in their blogs... Haha...

After e 2 HOO-HA intergrated resorts (IR or commonly termed as Casino by those who still dun wish to wake up their ideas) r built, 35, 000 new jobs will be created... How nice is tt? Some ministers even haf to weep over e idea, coz on one hand they haf to consider e amazing no. of job opportunities created therefore they haf to agree, bending their own moral beliefs... I see ur struggles man...

Its gd, isnt it? Given our stagnant saturated economy, we couldnt grow anymore for e next 10 yrs... Tis development will certainly mark greater prospects n growth for us individuals... Certainly a new begining for our dying economy and our status on e global map...

So, now couples shd start to give birth to more sg babies, so as to fill up e places... If not, since our birth rate is falling behind death rate, it wun be surprising we see more foreigners than sg citizens in e future...

Even though we all haf to wait for 4 yrs for tt to happen... Well, haha, like wat ppl always say in our industry, meanwhile prepare ur portfolio, eat grass then meanwhile when e opportunity comes, u'll be ready, n it'll all be worth it... Oh ya?

So ppl, 4 yrs leh!!! By then, 4 yrs will be sufficient to take up any additional papers... 4 yrs to ungrade urself, 4 yrs to train ur hands for stable serving for waiters n waitress, 4 yrs to look pretty n handsome for doing PR, 4 yrs to practice cleaning every inch for cleaners, 4 yrs to practise gamblin so tt u can becum Casino gamble counters, 4 yrs to learn to smile n tok for receptionists, etc etc...

Maybe they can jus name one of e IR as HOO-HA International Entertainment Centre... Since it certainly has achieved e marketing effect... And u can even endorse Thai Singing Grp n Duo, Dragon 5 n Chinadolls wif their not popular song Hoo-ha n make them all famous again...

Ok, im crappin... Ignore me... Lolx

I haf always wanted to work at Sentosa, jus tt no suitable openings so far... I wanted to work at e zoo as well, jus tt i was so disappointed wif them when i went there last yr... Haha, so see how lah... 4 yrs is a long time for lots of changes... We shall see then ya?

Pappy's Home

1stly, still no news on e cookie adoption... Again, he will be put to sleep if hes still unadopted... And may i remind all tt putting animals to sleep is not a painless, slow death... Dun be mistaken wif e terms, "Put to Sleep", which sounds so peaceful... I was once fooled until i witnessed my prev dog, screamed to survive, when e fluid went in... But anyways, theres still some time so i'll cross my fingers n hope for e better 4 him...

I may not be blogging religiously for some time, due to e fact tt i brought my Pappy home on last sat... I found it extremely waste of time n money for him to remain at e pet farm... Apparently i find tt confining my poor puppy in a cage (though its slightly bigger than my play pan, but hey, im giving him undivided attention) there 24 hrs, is simply such a torture, and i dun believe tt e boss was giving him 100% attention even though he was paid to, under our request... Also, fr our conversation wif him, apparently, i find it useless... E probs r not solved...

Initially, Jo n David wanted to keep him there for another wk... But after spending e whole morning there... Its more advisable to bring him home n i agreed on e spot... And guess wat, jus a few days, my Pappy grew skinnier... Super heart pain...

Im now doing parenting, i hope i can be a gd mother... Its my 1st official time, im learning as e days go...

But i can say its not easy... On top of tt, no one wans to help me at all... Everyone only wanted to scold or cane or abuse Pappy whenever they see e chance... Sigh... I was so stressed tt i even weeped, coz i feel im not a gd mother, its so tough handling him alone... My big sis n bro-in-law each called me separately, n told me to haf patience, dun stress, go sleep...

I haven been sleepin until today... I slept only fr 2-5am, coz i've got to monitor tt baby... I haf to clear his mess e moment he do it, so as to prevent him fr dirtying his whole body n also prevent my mum fr grumblin... I've also got to watch his behavior, understand his nature n character so as to train him... Ive also got to try out different methods of solutions to toilet train him... Ive also got to visit alot of forums to read thru bibles of parenting n puppy training...

Ive bought last sat's straits times to look for jobs n i haven even haf time to read thru it... But luckily i can had more time fr tmr onwards... Coz he's more or less settled down... His behaviour is also more or less there... My efforts are paying off, my baby is growing up, sooner than i thot, n hes smarter than i thot... He's a fast learner...

Ive been thru wif him so many 1st times, now i feel like a proud mama... His 1st carry, 1st bath, 1st cleaning of ears, 1st brushing of coat, 1st jump, 1st walk on last sun at e lotus park, 1st walk at pierce reservoir, 1st climb of stairs up n down, wif lots of my undying persuasion... 1st fetch playin wif me, 1st pooin on papers, now more or less, he poos on paper, but he still pees on e floor, though sometimes he makes me happy by peeing in e newspaper tray, 1st whining for me to get him out of his play pan, 1st kissing command, 1st respondin to his name, 1st sit command though not very successful yet, etc etc... All within jus 3 days... And he jus lifted his leg to pee for e 1st time jus now... Though it was kind of silly, he got on e newspapers tray to pee, but due to e fact, he lifted his leg, he peed out of e play pen... Haha, i didnt even knoe whether to scold him or not... My bondie's (1yr + old) still squating to pee like a female, very very gayish...

I am so proud of him... So clever! N ppl kept sayin hes cute... Heh... Makes me happy as well... He has put on e weight he lost also...

Oh Shuzhen, Pappy really machiam is like me lidat, his underside is super warm, like my hands (those who touched my hands be4, i haf tis weird warm/burning hands prob ever since sec 3). Haha, i used to burn Shuzhen wif my hands n she'll scream at me... Next time, u come my house carry him? Heh... Then he'll burn u, haha...

But among all e 1st times, im still waiting for something... His 1st bark, i still haven hear him bark yet, n i hope one day he'll bark... I wan to hear his voice, though he whines, but even his whining is once only... Pappy, bark for me pls?

Interesting happening: One young guy fr mediacorp came to knock my door today, he wans to borrow my house to shoot MISSING tis fri... Coz of e old interior... But shooting is fr 3pm till about midnight, so long jus for $50, my mum is going to turn him down... Too bad, dun wish e crew to disturb my pappy as well, even though hes super tamed... Lucky for them is, he doesnt bark, even at strangers...

Uni Studies

Some things to tok about...

Had a conversation wif Shuzhen tt night and I got into a eye teared mode when we were tokin about my lack of money, impossible to further studies tis yr n my so called family... Apart fr my disappeared ex bfs who stayed wif me be4... Think only she understands my family situation, even though she didnt witnessed how horrible it was in actual living... She told me shes sad too but at e same time feel helpess...

She mentioned tis to me as well, "I hope u will not haf to give up ur studies becoz of lack of money..." Which somehow brought me back to e time, when she came along wif me to visit my Dad... My father asked her wat was she doing then... She mentioned she's studyin @ uni... Then, my father said e following, "Tats great, not like my daughter. She's not so "Hao Ming" (gd life). Her life is fated to be not gd. Shes destined tt she cant study U..."

It was one of e most inappropriate things to say in front of my friend. His words immediately brought tears to my eyes... He also added if things had been e same (meaning back to his millionaire past), i would haf no prob at all doing anything i wan... Which of coz, added more water to my eyes. But i managed to conceal all my emotions n laugh along...

He didnt need to say those things... Worst, he shouldnt haf put e comparisms straight in my face... I of coz, knew how different we r... I received e news of knowing my mum's not going to support me after my secondary days when i was in sec 1, nov. Fr then on, my life seriously took e 2nd major turning pt...

I even had to seek financial help myself to pay for my sec sch fees... But sec was still ok, since its only $100+ a yr, its rather easy to find help... But poly was hell, it really was, worst is i couldnt even get any help in my 3rd yr, coz my sis was earning so much tt i was unqualified to apply for any assistance...

Life is tough, n e last person i would wan to be compared to is my best fren... Seeing her mum payin her Uni sch fees using her CPF, downgraded their 4-rm flat to 3-rm to support her younger sis's Uni fees, was no easy task i can assure u tt... Everyday i see her going thru her degree, graduating soon, when im not even near there... Im not saying her family is so gd or watever, she has her own family prob as well... Im only touchin on e studies part, n how dysfunctional my family is...

Its always so tough going for gatherings especially, when everyone's in Uni, or going to, when i'm jus a diploma holder to them... Worst thing is sometimes i get humiliated/despised for tt by Rich/Uni ppl... Coz to them, they always labelled Dip holders wif no degree as "STUPID", tts y cannot go U, which is totally untrue obviously, but i cant change the mindsets of swollen heads who think they r on top of e society...

When i explained my financial situation, they simply gave me a snare, indicating wat i said was an unbelievable lie to cover up for my laziness or stupidity as tis will never ever happen to gd life young singaporeans... Well, maybe sometimes u shd start wipin ur pupils behind ur try to be handsome/pretty contact lenses...

I'll highlight 3 commons conversations...

1)

XXX(NS guy, going NUS after ORD): Y arent u doing ur degree? U dun like to study arh?

Celes: Coz i haf no money...

XXX: Huh? How can it be?

Celes: Coz i dun haf money for e fees, my family's poor...

XXX: Where got such things? Ask fr ur parents lah!

Celes: ...


2)

YYY(NUS student, no, not Shuzhen of coz): Wah, u now in poly hor? So gd, so envy u. Mus be damn gd life lor, slackin all e time!

Celes(NYP DMD): ...

(Try askin those who were same class wif me for 3 yrs... Gd life? Slack? U r damn funny jumpin e gun lidat... Wat a way to reunite after so many yrs!)

YYY(carrying rambblin): Not like me lor, now in NUS Life Science, so stressed... So busy, dun even haf time. So ke lian hor? No time to go out... Believe u go cheong all e time right? So gd...

(When i dun even go cheong)

Worst line:
YYY: But no choice lah, coz they all very smart ppl, if dun work hard will lose out to them... Then cannot stay on top liao...

Celes:...


3)

ZZZ: Ask u arh, u go poly u dun feel very wat meh?

Celes: Feel wat?

ZZZ: Feel feel... Ermm...

Celes: U wan to say tt my classmates (fr 1 of e 2 top classes in sec) all go JC only i go poly wun feel very bad of myself arh?

ZZZ: Errr... Ya...

Celes: Well, in e 1st place, theres alot of them (classmates) who went poly also wat...

(though i believe im e only one in my class then who is set on going poly fr start sec 2, coz i knew i wasnt going sg Uni in e 1st place, so y shd i go JC anyway to waste my time? Besides, those who later joined poly, r those who went for 1st 3 mths JC n realised tt they dun like to study maths n science n some failed)

ZZZ: Oh... Is it...

(Like machiam i bluff him)

Cant stand some ppl, which is y i dun go gatherings liao...

Anyways...

I jus had a msn conversation wif Jul, we somehow also tok about further studies... Along e way, she mentioned, all i need to do is to jus ask (refering to ask my sis to help me wif fees). E conversation i had wif Shuzhen immediately came back into my mind... And i didnt knoe how to ans her... If i can paint a picture which can speak a thousand words, i will... But i cant...

She then added something like, "After all u r one family mah...". Well, how true, but tats only on e birth cert as far as it goes... How do i tell ppl about my dysfunctional family? I wanted to share wif her my life, but how to allow ppl to understand n see it thru a few lines in msn... All i could tell her is my sis wun help one but nvm see how it goes lor... It sounded so patronisin, i hate tt...

Thing is sometimes if i tell my life stories in summary, wif regards to my family. Some smart ass will start to tell me, no lah, u r still family, can work it out one... Try tokin to them more... Mus be u attitude right? Change urself lah... No such things as grudges... Like as though they stayed wif me n understood...

If i can solve it simply by changing myself, or becoz im e prob, y do u think i will allow myself to suffer all these yrs when i can do something on my part? If things r so simple... E word "Problem" will be wiped out e moment i open my dictionary...

Worst n most common line i heard fr SMART ppl,
"No matter how, ur mum still loves u..."

Ya... Try convincing my ex bfs on tt, or even Shuzhen (though till tis date i still duno her level of understandin on my family aspect but nvm, still can try), since they r outsiders... They will be able to see e picture clearer n less biased... Since i will be labelled as negative, prejudiced against, etc...

Sigh...

All hopes not lost... I believe someday somehow, my life will reach a major turning pt... N tis time, its gd...

Mongrel For Adoption

Brown Mongrel puppy up for adoption. Very gentle, good temperament and good with people and other dogs. A darling companion to have. Being fostered at boarding house; we visit him as often as possible, but he 'tells' us he wants to go 'home' and we do not have one for him. A loyal friend that can blend in easily.

We've found e labrador looking brown Mongrel puppy at Blk 111 Toa Payoh Lor 1 few weeks ago, around noon. He was trying to enter a Clinic and kept loitering around the shops. Very thirsty. Playing with some kids who said found him wondering around the Community Club across the road earlier.

Appeared well-fed and very manja and tamed. Responds to simple commands. We have put him up at a boarding kennel at Pasir Ris.

If you are ready to give COOKIE a home, pls email me at e following: celes_seow@hotmail.com and leave me ur contact numbers...

Thanks.

Meeting Up Wif Shuzhen

Oooo, met her up on sun 10 April... Ya, i knoe it had lapsed few days back but hack, i didnt wan to waste e pics i took...

Gosh, been some time, so long since we last met up coz of her hectic degree studies n part timing... But nevertheless, we were looking forward so much to it, and it turned out amazing... I seriously n totally enjoyed myself... We had so many great conversations... We had a great time, or me at least, as far as its concerned...

Even though my eyes went drenched when i was tokin about my passed away dog, Baby who was put to sleep... I was surprised tt i still weeped over his death, coz i thot i had gotten over it... But apparently, time do not neccessarily heals... I had to control myself as well, fearing my mascara will smear over my whole face, creating an exhibit of Panda walkin ard along Orchard Road...

When we meet up, we can always totally relax ourselves... Totally unpretentious unlike some grp outings when we cant even tok about certain things and haf to pretend tt we r interested in their topics so tt it wld not crush their egos... Aarrgghhh... Dun even ask me about it...

In front of her, i will never be misunderstood... Or even if i am, i haf no problem clearing it up e next... Unfortunately, we didnt haf enough time to tok... Coz we went for ktv, bloody ktv always take up so much tokin time... But we still love it nonetheless... So many things left unsaid, so many issues left unsettled was how we felt on e way back on e mrt... Not as gd life as Jul, Rm they all, always got drivers n cars... Haha...

Funny thing about e meeting was, i actually felt better myself after meeting her... Coz i was actually silently pissed off wif her for some time be4 tat... I shall now whisper whisper y i was angry...

*whisper whisper*

Coz of e way she converses in msn n sms lah! I mentioned be4 she doesnt expresses herself very well in e digital world... And so, she pissed me off wif her attitude over e words she typed at times over certain issues... Hmmpphh...

And becoz i very long never speak to her in real life, i soon interpreted her messages according to e digital standard of recognition! Haha, but then after meeting her, i realised i was e stupid forgetful one!!! Shes not like tat... Shes doesnt behave or tok like e way she does digitally... Jus tt i forgot only... Haha, damn funny, then she told me to mus always remember shes not like tat one... And tat sometimes she duno how to behave more Qing Cie, friendly, digitally...

Okok, i make sure i remember... Haha... Actually last time i also got tell myself to remember, but if dun meet her too long, i will forget again, n assumed naturally she tok tt way also, coz shes changed somehow...

Funny hor, Shuzhen? U arh, never tag my board also... Hmmpphh!!!

Ok, i shall interpret ur messages in another way, meanwhile u try try try try try try to type like how u tok in real life also ok? Haha, if not i will heart attack every now n then... Angry at nothing... Lol...

I wan to make her go join e Channel U's Superstar... If she win become singer, i can haf free CDs, but then, she backed out... @#$**^%^$ Nvm, tis yr's kbox if got solo i go make u join! If got duet we join lor, then can sing Yuan Dian, but i still haven master e song leh... But i still like Shao Nian... Can sing You Ni Zhen Hao also, long time never sing le, i go learn e individual parts 1st...

Okies, done wif my silent whispering... Hope she cannot hear me...

Now, time for e photos... A few only lah, i lazy to post also... Mus copy n paste copy n paste, so mafan!!!


At e KTV, guess where? Dun tell u, coz every time go sure full one... Every time put us on waiting list, tis time very lucky, 1st time we got it after waiting... Very big rm, actually medium rm they give us small rm rate, everytime lidat tats y we love tis place, big TV, big rm, comfy sofa, even e drinks r big also... Value for money...


Our tibits n drinks... E tibits very nice to eat one, not like kbox mixed nuts, $5 each somemore, daylight robbery for sucky food... Tis one 2 bowl only $7... Their chicken cutlet rice, nasi lemak, fried rice etc $5 only, so cheap n gd...


Left side is my drink, Chocolate Milk Tea(Dun ask me y my drink look yucky, real life diff), before tat i ordered Almond Milk Tea, my fav is Strawberry Milk Tea but sold out... #$%%^& Sold out at 2pm??? Mus be they forgot to buy strawberries...

Hers is Jasmine Honey Tea... Ppl out there, she very routine one, if she go Kbox, she will only order chinese tea, non kbox sure will be Jasmine Honey, no need ask i also knoe wat she will order... Haha... Ok, treat tis as whisperin also...



Garlic Mashed Potato... So big plate, $3 only... I didnt even finish my share, even though we split...


We went Breeks for dinner, she very funny one... I told her night be4 i hate to think of where to eat, coz every time i got to decide... Then she said, nvm, tis time she think... Then after our ktv, she looked so stressed, like very scared i ask where to eat while we were walkin... Haha, i saved her e trouble n suggested breeks at taka... Nvm Shuzhen, u shall decide next time... Decide on my bday lor... Hehehe, more stress!!!

But my fault for suggesting tis... Tis time e dinner not very nice... She didnt say anything but i actually dun like... I think really only AMK's Breeks can eat, surprisingly... Oh, but i wan to eat MS's Breeks Buffetaurant, Tampiness Mall's Ponderosa, or Kenny Rogers... Heh...



My main coz, Spicy BBQ Chicken Leg, at 1st i wan to order steak, then saw e guy beside me ordered tis like very yummy... So i KPO follow order also... Ok only, chicken abit tough... My drink is on e left, Passion of Love, also not nice... Duno isit e ppl here or not...

Dubai (Edited)

I wan to go DUBAI!!!

I am so fasinated by the country... They are called City of the Future... If u look at their projects n development in e next 20 yrs, u'll understand y they r called tt... By far, it's one of e most advanced country i haf seen in Asia...

I am so proud of them...

Some highlights of e country:

1) They sprung out of a desert, not literally of coz... They were a desert, and now still in e midst of desert. Jus 30 mins car ride fr e city, u'll be able to reach e desert, untouched, all natural, reaching e horizon... And u can engage urself in a thrillin four wheel drive ride for e darings... It almosts feels like a bumpy roller coaster...

2) Everyone loves to shop in airprts coz of e duty free gds, well, the whole country is duty-free, tax free... Not tat it really matters to me... But its jus interesting aspect... They haf a market where they sell tax-free GOLD n Jewellry!!! Imagine tat!

3) New Architecture. If u had seen their pictures, travel programs, or e last season of e amazing race, then u'll knoe wat im tokin about... Their new buildings are extremely magnificant n modern... Most famous landmark is e building where Emirates airline shot their TVC, showing an old couple boarding a helicopter on e roof of e building... Surrounding e buildin is e sea... And they flew ard it... E TVC slogan went, "When was e last time, u try something for e 1st time... I wan to go see them myself... Take lots of pictures... I love to see buildings, for those who knoe me, will know i love architecture... Even their best shopping mall is such an eye opener, they had e theme of e Egypt, simply gorgeous...

4) Old Architecture. Some old buildings r still remaining, and it nice to see e contrast of e modern world wif historical religious buildings... E carvings of e walls r simply amazing...

5) Events. E whole yr round, Dubai is e only country filled wif events... One of e most popular is e Shopping Festival, where it attracts about 3million tourists to e country at tat period of time... They haf tis permanent theme park in their central area, wif e ferris wheel, n all e thrillin rides u see fr western countries... And every night, e theme park gives away 2 Lexus!!! And their games store prizes r huge stuffed toys, but they r e nice ones... Not e imitation, ugly kind fr our local Singapore Expo Furfairs Uncle Ringo... Oops, hope he dun sue me...

Oh, funny thing about e fun fair is, they haf booths set up by about 30 over countries, including singapore... Supposed to sell e stuffs fr sg, but guess wat e China-Looking-And-Speaking lady(Singaporean i supposed, thou i suspect shes fr mainland) sells? She sell swords!!! Since when did swords start to represent sg? I dun even see it at our own local souvenier stall at Sentosa... I saw fr one travel show, e host bought a sword fr e booth, e sword is mounted on a board tat has a lion face on e left, n e words "Golden Lion Sword"(in mandarin) on e right. E host was so happy and she mentioned she's so glad to buy something fr Sg. -__________-" I will avoid e booth in shame if im there...

6) Developments. Think tts about wat i wan to say... Lastly, jus take a look at their future developments. E things they r going to built, e kind of technology they haf... It simply put our Marina Barrage to shame, man... Oops, i said something wrong again...

Anyways, finally i saw e "Palm Resort" thingy tat everyone was tokin about already... Oh my god, it simply is jus amazing amazing... Jus case u've never hear it be4, its e most advanced, most anticipated living residence in e world now... E whole residence is built in e midst of e sea, totally exlcusive, private in e shape of a palm tree... 3 to 4-storey landed property, each wif a swimming pool exclsively, and then e beach right at ur doorstep...

E most ex is only 1.5 million Us dollars... Very cheap for e rich, no wonder so many celebrities had already bought it, includin David Beckham... Haha, imagine being neighbours wif him... Not for me of coz, even though i would love to stay there coz of e beach... But bad thing is, if Tsunami hits e place, e whole residence will be gone... But i heard they haf measures for it, well guess i'll jus haf to go there to find out more, so curious... It's not built yet, but if u go there at duno which buildin, u can go see e models, 3d visualisation video, n there will be ppl to explain e detils... Haha, i will act rich if i was to go there to KPO...

But i abit scared of e ppl there, i always fear going to places like India... E ppl there r Indians, or at least Indian looking... Not sure if they r islamic, but their females got to cover fr head to toes... Revealin their eyes only... Nvm, for e 1st time, i can go as a tour grp, then 2nd time free n easy... Lucky thing is they speak English...

Go wif me in e future hor, Shuzhen?

Actually, i had e dream of going Maldives when i get older... I mentioned to Shuzhen be4, i will treat her go there stay when we r older... Its about $1000+ a night for e cheapest... I wan to stay there for a short short time... Always love to stay at e sea, and at Maldives, u do it wif superior luxury n excellent homely services in a breath-taking environment... But then, since most part of it had been wiped out by e evil Tsunami, looks like i may not be able to do so at e resort i wan anymore...

Nvm, im sure it'll be up n warming again in e future... =)

My Neopets Target!

Yoz ladies n gentleman, its been some time since ive shown e trackin of my neopets target...

Now for e latest update!



Current Balance : 5,012,013 NP
Amt left to reach 5 Million: Are u kidding me??? I had already exceeded FYI!!!



Wahahaha, finally... After playing my neopets conscientiously for 43 mths (ok, not really, since i had only set e goal like 2 yrs ago but watever)... I finally crossed over 5 million, and am proudly now one of e richest in neopia...

I started playin August 15, 2001... One day after my bday, Shuzhen came over my place and i asked her to teach me how to play neopets... Since it was already a hoo-ha then, almost everyone was playin, except me... So i decided to try it and i got hooked like many as expected...

I then started to influence almost all my guy frenz (well, since my frenz r mainly guys except Shuzhen) into playing it, and they too, got addicted... Haha, i feel damn proud to pyscho them, since they always complained tt its so girly...

I am e proud owner of 4 lovely pets... One Desert dressed shoyru (my oldest), followed by one yellow Kacheek, X'mas dressed Bruce, n one newly owned green Yurble. I managed to reach e target was becoz i was once holdin 4 accounts, coz i was helpin 3 frenz play, whom eventually, abandoned e accs and so i merged them into mine... Wahaha...

If only e 5 Million is real money, then it'll be great... I am now getting 1.5K of interests daily, without to even force myself play those oh-play-till-so-sick games... Of coz, no such things one lah...

I reached 5 Million on sunday night actually... But i wasnt excited then, coz like i mentioned, i was troubled... So i only reveal it now... =)

Now u knoe how crazy i am, dun play play wif me ok? I am bloody patient to play e boring neopets daily for almost 43mths... Goin to show u e prove, but not revealin my acc name, if not some stupid ppl will hack into my acc n take all my hard earned money away... Bleah...


Dun even try to hack! I will kill u! Beware of e power of e lovely priestess!

Scalded Myself, Ouch!!!


Scalded myself on mon night... I was trying to fill my cup wif hot water, when e water splattered all over my thumb coz i had a spoon in e cup... Guess i was too tired to think then... Extremely painful.. Ouch!!!


Using a old remedy, i applied toothpaste... It works effectively as usual... The pain went away immediately after it was spreaded over... But bad pt is e pain will come back again once it drys up, so u got to apply again... But after 2 coats, my wound dun hurt anymore... N e redness is reduced...

My Papillon, Pappy

I haf a dog le! Its a black 6 mths old Papillon wif white legs, he doesnt look cute or pretty, but if u spend some time wif him, u'll love his personality, he has blueish eyes as well, against his black face... And i didnt buy him, my big sis, Jo, did. She n David had been eyeing him for about 2 mths, and they waited till e price dropped, and it did...

However, due to e fact tat her mum in law was very angry, n against e idea of having 2 dogs in e house. They realised they couldnt keep it anymore after one night... And my timid Bondie didnt like e idea as well... And so, i had decided to take up e responsibilty for e 15 yrs commitment...

However, i haf probs as well, my mum couldnt stop grumblin, even though she agreed to Jo... And also, i cant really take nice pics wif e Papillon, since hes black, he wouldnt appear in my pics... But of coz, tats not impt... Its a bad luck thingy (for chinese culture tales) to keep a dog wif white legs against any full colors... Of coz i dun believe in such tales, but my mum again, couldnt stop grumblin... Well, im not going to let him bear e blame of being called a jinx for makin her lose money when she gambles... Since she has never won anything these yrs...


But he has been taken away fr me yest evening. He's been taken to Correction Centre, coz he made a mess, he shredded newpapers, n spreaded his poo n pee all over, includin himself, my mum couldnt take it... And complained i sleep till so late... When she can jolly well, wake me to clean e mess...

He will be kept under 2 days of close observation, be4 e trainer decides wat sort of training he needs... I feel so sorry for him... He had been confined in a small cage for 6 mths, therefore, he couldnt walk or run properly, his legs r very weak, but i'll train him up... He couldnt tell wats wrong or right as a puppy, so he jus sits on his poo n pee, since tis is e case in e pet shop...

I dun like e pet shop as well, they didnt take care of e puppies, he smelled badly when we went to collect him, i believed they didnt bath him or clean him for a long time, his ears r super dirty, so he kept scratchin them till they sore...

One thing about him is, he doesnt bark, i thot he was a mute... He can hear me though, which is gd... But he made alittle noise at my place, even though he still didnt bark, he whined for us to let him out, so it concluded hes not dumb, i was so happy to hear him make noise... Hes very tamed, minus e part where he shred newspapers, play wif his poo n pee, humped my hands n legs...

He needs to be confined 1st, coz hes still a puppy... I let him out very often, n run wif him to train his legs...

He only stayed one night at Jo's place, and then taken over to my place, stayed for another night, and then next evening, taken away again... Sigh... He didnt even haf time to settle down or adapt to e environment... Hes was having diarrhoe somemore... I wonder how is he now... His fate is so different fr Bondie...

When Bondie was bought, everybody, inlcudin her mum in law loved him, jus becoz he's was very small then (3mths old) n hes cute... Even dogs has to face e cruelty of society standard differences, nvm, i will not allow it to happen to him. I will make sure i give him e best i can... To u, he's jus a dog, To him, u're everything...

I hope things get better after he returns...

Somehow, i find myself sharing a similar fate as him, we both r so called jinx in our family, n we were also abandoned... Nobody wanted us ard... So i kind of feel tat its fated tat we meet... However, having him also changed some of my plans... I couldnt proceed wif moving out of my house, which means i would haf to put up wif my family for a much longer time, and also i couldnt keep my own dog, coz my mum n sis already gave me warning against 2 dogs in e house...

I named him Pappy, coz of his breed name Papillon... I took e 1st 2 syllabus, Papi = Pappy. It also rhythms wif Happy, which i hope e name will bless him wif a happy life as well... Hes not a pure breed of Papillon as well... He looks different, i feel tat if he looks very Papillon, he will be loved by more... But its hard to say, since hes still a puppy, he might grow up differently... Papillons haf long coat of fur, his is short for now, maybe it'll grow? We'll see as he grows bigger...

On e honest side, Pappy will not be my choice at e pet shop if i was to choose my own, however, since things happened tis way, i will keep him, n love him wif all i can...


A sneak preview of Pappy...

He doesnt look cute, pretty, nice or watever, but nevertheless, he still deserver our love...

He looks like a cat fr his backview... Initially i wanted to call him Moo Moo, coz of his cowy colors, and then my mum said he looked like a sheep, which he does in tis pic, so i wanted to call him Meh Meh... But after much consideration, Pappy, is still e best name for him...
