Short note

Time to plan some activities for myself...I wanna continue learning things that I like. Gonna find back my kaki. The 1st thing that I've been wanting to learn is piano the next on the list is exotic dance. When can I do that...my planning will start on Labour day!!! Yippi, holiday is just round the corner!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Now I finally understood the true meaning of friends and realize the important part they play in my life. Everyone is busy working, busy chasing for the kind of life and money we seek in life, trying our best to keep our schedule full. At times, we neglected our values, our thoughts, our interest and lots more which are not measurable by monetary terms. When we are loaded with endless of stress in the midst of fighting for our livelihood, we looked back and question ourselves if it is worth continue fighting. How I wish I could just leave my entire burden behind, travel to places that I have never been to and lead of stressfree life.

Have the chance to meet up with Jessica at Punggol Park last Friday and we really have a heart-to-heart chat. It is absolutely an enjoyable and rewarding gathering. Makes me realize I missed those ladies in Tyco… really!! Misses the time we get to lunch together, sharing tons of gossip, endless gathering, endless of fun & laughter. Though I have missed the chance to continue sharing but I know we will still keep in touch!!! Haha and continue to have never-ending “pigging out” sessions. Looking forward to gathering in next 2 weeks, end of May, in June…tons of activities lined up. Way to go!!!

Treasure your family, love ones and friends, it's fate that bring us together. :)

Sick baby

Baby was terrible sick when we are on the way to work yesterday. Poor thing, he look as pale as a sheet, unable to walk up straight and started to feel enormous pain in his tummy area. We are forced to alight at Buangkok and go back to his house. It must be the KFC that he has eaten the previous night. Seeing him like this makes me feel so heart broken.

I was wondering how can he make his way back home alone…In that kind of situation, I have to choose between taking the day off to take care of him or head to work as there are a group of directors coming in that morning. To me, it’s pretty clear that nothing is more important than taking care of him & staying by his side. Can you imagine being so sick and your love ones are not by your side? This is a dreadful & frightening thought.

I am relieved that I have made the right choice! Hope my baby will get well soon and no more KFC next time!

My thoughts...

Read an article on Mas Selamat in today's paper "The Straits Times", wow....8 pages of it, trying to explain to the whole of Singapore what had actually happened that resulted in the escape of Mas Selamat in that 11 minutes. To summarize the entire thing, I can only use 1 word to describe – “vulnerable’.

“Vulnerable”!!! They have to accept whatever the public has to say, no point pointing fingers at the vulnerable people that are involved directly. To me, it just reflects very badly to start picking those people that had failed in their duties. It’s not just these people, it actually represent the entire unit.The entire unit represent the security defense of Singapore. No use crying over spill milk, move on, it will be soon forgotten as we have more things to worry about like the recession, GST increment etc. By the way, where have our taxes gone to?

Fish Tycoon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hubby & I have been playing fish tycoon these few days, were literally immersed with it…haha. Now we see each other every day, the moment I open my eyes he is there and it’s the same when I close mine..hee. Is this so called married life? Never sick of seeing the person you love every minute of your life? I guess it is. Each of us has so many unfulfilled dreams and we hope we can accomplish it together.

Certain times being together I feel we are like small kids, fighting for the computer, pillow fighting, playing games and just rot like there is no tomorrow and time seems to pass so fast. Like they always said, if you enjoy what you are doing, time is such a breeze.

Not much of prawning these days…hubby says “no good to kill”. But that is one of my fav hobbies…too bad, what to do. “No good to kill” & I seem to get “killed by my own boredom”. So what is the best way to kill my boredom? Continue rearing my fishes at fish tycoon, so fun!!!

Methods to destress..only works for me!!!

Sharing some photos on activity (9) with my buddy & hubby...What will my world me without them?
Fun time at pump room...

It has been ages since I last blogged...as usual as busy as a bee since I started work.Been trying to find time to re-charge myself. A good way for me will be either ....
(1) soaking myself in a bath tub(few years back since I last do it, cos I think it's pretty wasteful to fill up such a big pool of water)
(2) Pigging out with my best buddy (My buddy & I were busy fighting for our rice bowls these few months, that we hardly have a chance to pig out)
(3) Shopping, spending like there's no tomorrow
(4) rot at home with my hubby
(5) Play with my dogs
(6) Surfing net
(7) Blogging
(8) Hanging out in a libraby (Don't be surprise I can stay there for hours without feeling bored)
(9) Hang out at pump room with buddies, hubbies...hubby i mean
.........

As I grow older I realise $ is hard to earn...really tough. Or could be it as we gets older we are more reluctant to change or just want to stay still in our own comfort zone afraid to change.Changes are scary, is either we can make it, grown stronger out of it or we give up and go back to our comfort zone. Sometimes, we do not have any alternative, we are being force to change.

Today has been a rewarding day for me, learning new things every day. Have a good talk with my buddy, started to feel motivated once again. Hopefully ready for whatever is coming and "kill" whatever comes our way!!! Chong ah!!!! Anyway...it's Friday tomorrow...Chong one day and get to rest for the next 2 days!!!!
Happy friday to me! Happy friday to me! Happy friday to me!

No chocolates, grapes and raisins....for DOGS!

Chocolate contains Theobromine, a chemical that is toxic to dogs.
Chocolate toxicity is dose-dependent.
This means that it varies according to individual sensitivity, animal size, type of chocolate, and amount of chocolate ingested.Chocolate toxicity potentially causes:
- excitement
- nervousness
- restlessness
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- muscle spasm
- seizures
- increased thirst
- increased urination
- increased heart rate
- heart rhythm abnormalities
- coma, death

Grapes and raisins can cause toxic reactions in dogs.
The toxicity is also dose-dependent. The exact mechanism is still unknown.
Grape and raisin toxicity causes gastrointestinal upsets first then progresses to sudden kidney failure and death.Signs include:
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- anorexia
- lethargy
- depression
- abdominal pain
- tremors
- increased urination and increased drinking.

Hence, it is safest not to feed your dog any amount of chocolate, grapes or raisins.
Should your dog ingest any of the above, you need to contact your vet immediately.

Oh my god, didn't know this was so serious.I was surfing the net for volunteery work available in Singapore,happen to browse to the SPCA website.This is scary, I used to feed my pom pom and now brownie with grapes...tons of these. I didn't know of the deadly outcome. I heard about chocolates but not raisins & grapes... I was lucky nothig has yet to happen to them I imemdiately sms to my sister on these information, hoping she will also take note of it the next time.

I gonna sent sms to all my pet lovers' friends on the above the first thing tomorrow morning.
Help spread the message around.

M for monkey

Same routine as yesterday, nothing extraordinary happen for the day...my days seem to go back to those days when I work and study...no days no night at all.I really miss those times,though it might be tough times but I had enjoyed myself. I really miss studying.How I wish I can go back to school. Those were the days when you are surrounded by books, friends, endless parties, gossiping.Haha.Back to present.

When I earn enough $$, I want to do tons of things...
(1) Continue my studies, want to have a Master or another degree in something which I like
(2) Go for a long holiday, say maybe one month to anywhere, nowhere
(3) Start a pet shop...all dogs..or maybe a shop selling doggie stuffs, cooking dogs' meal
(4) have to write this down...buy a PSP for my hubby.

my dreams...my goals....zzzzzz...slepping time..when will enough be enough???

2 Michellesssss

How I wish sometimes there are "2" me...tons of things to do.My mother-in-law is sick and is in hospital, luckily everything has been well & fine for her. Been running from work which is located in Jurong and to the hospital in Changi. At times I really felt so exhausted. I kind of miss her, misses the time she takes good care of the family and me too. To me, she is one simple woman who only cares about her family and nothing else. Family seems to be her first priority. Just like my mum. I wonder if I can be like them when the time has come for me to be a mother. Salute to both great mummies...

Trying to help as much as I can for the housework, I know my darling is exhausted too.Mentally and physically. What I can do is limited. I can only accompany him to see mother, chat with him on our journey, doing as much as I can on the housework. Hoping that all these will stop him from feeling lonely and depressed. Darling, be strong. The dark days will be over soon.. :)

Whatever has happened, I would say it's a blessing in disguise. So look at the bright side of life and count your blessings.

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I've been working real hard for the past 3 days...started work on Wed and trying to get used to waking up early, chasing for the company transport and got to step into office when the clock strike 8am. Wow that's very early for me.haha. For now when the clock strike 11pm, I will start to feel sleepy

Is earning more money, moving up the corporate ladder equal to less time for my family and love ones? If I get to choose, I will choose to spend time with my family and love ones. But I cannot forgo such a good opportunity which might not comes twice.I hope my family and love ones will understand.

As hubby and me has lesser time to talk to each other these 3 days as we are both busy with work and I started to treasure those little time with him. :)

Fifteen or Fourteen?!

We woke up real early today even before the sun rises, making our way to HDB hub. The thought of having to wake up before the dawn breaks, get ready and taking the public transport having to “squeeze” with the morning crowd seems so scary. In the end, we took a cab to HDB hub and guess what? We are 10 minutes late for the HDB appointed scheduled at 8.15am. In order to avoid the CTE jam, the uncle took a longer route, in the end we are still late. Urggg...

What delighted me this whole morning is we had chosen our desired unit and paid that $2000, this is the first step to our own home sweet home. We discussed a lot on how we are going to design our flat, although this has been an on-going discussion. It’s always exhilarating to start building your love nest. Sometimes, I think it is not the ultimate result that is important but the on going process of deciding what is “best” for both of us or even for our own children. It’s a process that I have slowly seeing the “true colors” of my hubby. Haha. He is cool, man, he has a lot of creative ideas that I got pretty impressed of him at times. J

Back to the topic “fifteen or fourteen?!”, at the point of decision making at the counter, we are still deciding if fifteen floor is better or fourteen. In the end, fifteen was taken as…it will be easier for us to buy 4D as our last 3 digits of our unit consist of “5” too. Get what I mean, it’s #15-*5*. Haha. A major consideration I would say.

Here’s our love nest…soon to be. A great investment of $236k and a priceless one with the one you love! :)
