Toby and Us

Wife and I brought home a dog. A shih tzu at 1 year and 3 months old. A male dog and a very naughty one.

Having the hard time of toilet training him.

Hope everything goes well. =D

Dog Shelter

I visited a dog shelter today. It's not ASD, it's not SPCA. It's Gentle Paws.

I didn't know what to expect when I'm there, but I just went ahead with my wife and 2 of our friends. It is located at Pasir Ris Farmway, and we had lots of fun interacting with the dogs. Somehow I didn't enjoy much because I don't feel well when I am there. I am not sure if I am allergic to their fur, or something in the surrounding. But at least I managed to give some dogs treats and a pat on their heads.

I kind of like Dollar because she's quite gentle. Then I like Dillon/Dillion? Because of his personality. Overall the dogs there are very lovable but seeing their wounds frightens me. May be because I am used to seeing dogs like Salty or Hersheys that have a proper home and not being injured. Oh yes, I have phobia in big dogs too. That is why I am kind of afraid they'll bite me or something. =x

Had a good chat with the girls and Mitsu. =D

May be once I am financially stable, I'll sponsor a dog there. =D

Almost Done

We're almost done with my small little balcony. =D

Done with the painting of the walls. Moved in my two study tables and my PC with 2 mini drawer cabinet. And some self made folder things to put my stuff in.

Tomorrow will be moving the kids in. I see a huge washing up of the kids' food bowl and their accessories. Plus huge cleaning for their environment. Then it is time to move Flash to NPF cage, then prepare nicely a 2ft tank for Kiara. I can't wait to welcome her to my hamster family. =D

Then I need to sort out what I want to sell off and what I want to keep. So much to do yet I am rather lazy.

Had a not so terrible cramp today and totally have no mood for the clean up. Thankfully my wife is around and she was there to comfort me. =D

Really appreciate it a lot. =D

Will be updating soon with pictures. =D

Pink is the Color

Finally!
The wall is pink!

Waiting to paint the cow prints. Then waiting to move the furniture the way I want. My wife made the calculations for me, and she drew the cow prints too. I just have to wait to paint the prints later in the day, then move the furniture in. =D

Can't wait to show everyone my new area. =D

The Art Work

My current balcony's wall is like a blank canvas. Waiting for me to get creative! Finally done with the base with lots of coating to make sure it's white enough. Will be finally adding colors to it!

And guess what's the color?

PINK~

My all time favourite color! I wanted red, but because I am afraid it will come out too reddish, then I'll get scolded by the parents. Because it might cause the place to be dark too. T.T And so pink is my choice.

Previously it was blue in color, and I don't want blue again. I am not a fan of green, so no green for me. Wanted giraffe color because I am making the place with giraffe prints as my wife likes giraffe, but then I want to get creative, so I settled with pink. =D

Oh, painted the shelves white too because I am going to give it a fresh new coat of pink too! Yeah! I think Jun will be giving me the =.= face because it is very pink. Muahaha . . .

And the furniture will be rearranged too. But how? I am not rather very sure of myself too. Haha . . .

Today I have learnt that painting can be a very tiring job. I sweat, I got hungry and thirsty. I feel like I can eat 2 meals straight. Argh . . . Time for bed. =D

Good News =D

I was at Pasir Ris Farmway 2 yesterday for a part-time job interview. And guess what? The interview does not last for even 10minutes and I got the job. Thanks to my previous working experience in a pet shop that I got the job. And thanks to my wife for introducing me to this job via her friend. =D I might be seeing this friend next week. =D

The place was big, as expected since it's at Farmway. Then there's lots of puppies up for sales. =D I scanned through hoping to see a poodle, but sadly no. I saw Yorkshire Terrier though. =x Oh and I don't know which breed that I saw the price tag. Wow, that's incredibly expensive too. =x

I didn't get the chance to walk around the place that I will be working at since it was drizzling and I need to get to my wife who is at Farmway 1 meeting a supplier. I want to get to her fast because she doesn't bring an umbrella. It took me around 20 minutes to walk out to the main road, and around another 20 mintues to walk in towards Pasir Ris Farmway 1. The rain was crazy. A minute it stopped, then the next it rained. So I was like opening and close my umbrella. Oh, and it was rather humid although it rained.

Saw the supplier's dog. A German Shepherd! SO BIG! It's my first time coming near towards a German Shepherd. =D

Went AMK to have lunch with wife at Botak Jones. Then off to Ubi to meet another supplier and to send wife's mouse for repair. =D So far so good for everything.

Anyway for people who have pets, or your friends do have pets. Kindly visit www.eplusco.com.sg to make an order for your pet supplies. Delivery to your door step is currently unavailable. But meet up at a place where both party is convenience at is OK. =D

For enquiries, feel free to email me at michelle@eplusco.com.sg. =D

Crab Dinner

Had Butter Crab dinner with the wife, Jun and Silin last night. What can I say, the dinner was delicious.

I am not good at describing the taste of the food, but I can say I enjoyed myself. I like how the taste of the gravy of the butter crab together with my rice. It's yummy! =D

Can't wait to have it again. As promised by my wife. =D

It's somewhere at Kovan. Quite delicious and the price is affordable. Shall bring my family there when there's time. =D

My Sentosa Trip

I visited Sentosa a day before my birthday together with my wife. Because I showed her the promotion for Butterfly and Insect Kingdom and Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon for the price of one. If I didn't remember wrongly it cost $29.90 per ticket. =D Great offer man! Then she decided to bring me there. =D Mad happy.

First stop when we arrived, the Butterfly and Insect Kingdom. =D I was really really afraid of having close contact with them, like holding them. But the wife isn't. She was brave enough to try and catch them when they're resting.

The closest I can get to the butterfly is with the help of a piece of banana, thanks to the lady working there for helping after knowing my phobia.

At the Butterfly and Insect Kingdom, we came across different species of butterflies and insect. Not to mention, the birds, iguana, mandarin ducks too.

And best of all . . .

My wife had a very close contact with a SCORPION!

When I said close contact, it literally meant that she didn't need a piece of banana or whatsoever to get close with it. I am so proud of her but felt worried at the same time. As everyone knows scorpions are poisonous. What if that scorpion goes crazy?! The thought of it makes me shiver.

We left the Butterfly and Insect Kingdom a tad bit of disappointment. We thought we can to touch real live worms! You know like what we saw on our friend's facebook album? But sadly nope, the only thing we could come in close contact with is the butterfly and scorpion. The birds however, they're everywhere.

We rested our feet after a tour at the Butterfly and Insect Kingdom before making our way to the Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon via bus.

This creature is very popular when I was there with my wife. I wanted to get a nice picture of it but I couldn't. I have to wait till I toured finish the entire Underwater World before having the chance to squeeze with the crowd. Somehow, I got pushed by the Indian tourists, stepped by China kids and this is the best I could get. =(

But hey! At least I am happy to see the dolphins! The tricks they performed was rather cute and amusing. =D And I got to know that when they are young, they are grey in color. And when they gets older, they'll turn pink. Interesting fact right? But I kind of forgotten the breed of the dolphins though. =x

Did I mentioned that I watched the dolphins show twice? And yes, this photo is taken during my second visit to the Dolphin Lagoon. =D I told my wife I want to watch the show again and there we were sitting right in front of the stage. =D Yeah!

Why I want to sit near the stage? Because I want to take nice photos of the sealions! Muahaha . .

And I get to see the tricks they did quite clearly and quite near too. =D Love it.

I enjoyed myself during the trip, so does the wife. =D I can say after the trip to Sentosa, I am a happy girl. =D

Packing

I bought my paints for the wall in my small balcony area. Yes paints! Not one, but two colors! I'm going to make it into a small area that I love so much. =D

Took photos of how it looks like now. Will take photos of the process and the how it will look like after everything is done. =D

Can't wait. Hehe . . .

OK, I think I have to go back packing things up. =D

For The Sake Of My Guinea Pigs!

For the sake of my guinea pigs' health, hygiene etc. I am going to study study study and study about guinea pigs.

Although I have the basic knowledge of what they need. But then today I realized that I got their nutritional needs on vegetables wrongly. Argh! Need to buck up! 加油！

So I will be rather busy lately with job searching and reading about guinea pigs. In order to contact me, feel free to beep me via phone. =D

Balcony My New BedRoom?

My mum is thinking of making the balcony as my bedroom. And here's my reply.

I don't want to make the balcony my bedroom. Why must I move out? Why can't they move out instead? I then don't want to let the 小白脸 (gigolo) to have a bigger space. Always come here as freeloader, here no hotel lohx.

Then everyone seem quiet.

And . . .

My father agreed to what I said. Muahaha . . .

Sick

Currently I am down with the cold. Fortune teller predicts the fortune for my zodiac quite accurately. Think I really have to be cautious and take good care of my health this year.

In the midst of recovering, hopefully soon. Kind of dislike the blocked nose and the constant coughing and the feeling of feverish. I know it is virus infection, asked the doctor last year when I visited the clinic before.

I should have been resting early, but look at the time! I am still awake! OK, time to sleep early.

Will be visiting Serangoon North tomorrow. Getting some Vitamin C and Papaya Enzyme for the kids. If can will walk around the NTUC to see if I can get some veges from there as well. =D

My 21st

I am officially 21 yesterday. Spent most of the time in bed due to the flu. Wasn't feeling that well thus parents cancelled the visiting of relatives and friends for red packets. But I felt much better today. =D

Dad gave me a red packet, and he secretly hides behind the door to see my reaction. So sweet of him.

Although I spent most of my time on my birthday at home and on bed, I managed to dragged myself out of bed towards Bishan to catch a movie with my wife. =D And yes, I got a birthday cake this year from her. =D I always have a birthday cake from her every year without fail. =D It's high time I do the same too.

We watched [Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif] last night. Initially wanted to watch [True Legend] because it's a martial art kind of film, but I suppose the wife isn't really interested in those kind of movies, so I decided to watch [Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif].

Since it's the month of February, and that I am a member of Golden Village, I have a free movie one to one ticket voucher. =D So we paid $10 for the other ticket and we're off to watch this movie. I didn't know what this movie is about, neither did I read the story. The wife said it's something like Harry Potter and the review of it was good. So there we go.

Had an hour before the movie starts. Being sick, I had Mos Burger for 2nd round of dinner with my wife. =x Yummy~ But the soup wasn't that nice though.

Anyway, the movie was somewhat interesting, but can be better. If to compare with Harry Potter, the beginning was quite a like. Harry and Percy didn't know who they really are. Then bad guys are all coming after them. They go to special school/camp that is for their own kind. They travel by floo powder/pearl. One had a broom to fly, the other is by flying shoe. At the end of the day, they are the ones that save the day.

Maybe I should start reading the story of Percy Jackson. The movie is worth our $10. =D

My CNY Celebrations

To many, Chinese New Year will be something everyone is looking forward to even during the eve of it. But to me, it never was. This year is the most sucky Chinese New Year I ever have even though the first day of CNY falls on the same day as Valentine's Day.

During the eve of Chinese New Year, the bastard (sister's boyfriend) very late at night. I was locked out of my room as usual (for those who don't know, I'm sharing the room with my sister). For goodness sake, it's the EVE of CHINESE NEW YEAR, and I don't get to enjoy it. Then my mother have to do the extra laundry which he will never appreciate it. People who knows will understand what I am talking about. The wife and parents didn't really like him anyway. But somehow he is just that thick skin.

Anyway, first day was alright, so is second day. The weather was awfully warm and I can literally sun tan everywhere I go. But for the sake of collecting red packets to make it my pocket money was worth it. I must thank my god-father for a very fat red packet this year. =D So much more than the previous year. Hope next year the amount will maintain. =x

Anyway, watched the Valentine's Day with wife and her ex-poly mates. Before watching the movie, we were having dinner at Jack's Place. I had spaghetti, and the wife had steak. Not bad, quite delicious. =D

Then we head over to The Cathay for the movie. Somehow the movie was a tad bit too many details trying to squeeze into that few hours. I got bored in the first half of the movie thus wasn't paying attention to it. Wasted 10bucks for it. =(

Say, I won't watch it again. =x

Mum was complaining that I had been holding on to wife's Nikon D60 for far too long and that it has become my camera when it is not. So my mum offers to get me a new camera as my 21st birthday this year, but I have to fork out half of it. =(

And then I introduced her to Panasonic LX3. =D I hope she gets it for me. Saw it at Mustafa last night going for 699 that comes with free 8GB memory card and a camera case.

This very early morning I had a few of my first experience. I had my first virigin trip to Mustafa, Macdonalds driver through and SengKang Riverside Park. Can't wait for the other first virgin trip to somewhere.

Boring CNY

This year's CNY is a boring one. What we do is visiting and nothing else. People here are all strangers to me. I barely knew anyone here.

That is why my itouch go everywhere with me. The ges and the apps accompany me.

Can't wait to see the wife later.

My 21st Birthday BBQ

I had my birthday BBQ last night at East Coast Park together with Yan Ling. I prepared everything while she was busy for the exams for the week. Thankfully, she and her friends came all the way to my area to help carry the things. =D

It wasn't a very fun birthday bash, but it was good to gather some friends to talk to. Made new friends too and had their wishes was a blessing. =D

Somehow I got drunk unknowingly when I took a huge gulp from the wife's cup of vodka mix fruit juice. Then I go seriously drunk right after the 3 of us (Woon Cheng, Yan Ling and me) drink together for our first alcohol drink together. I went hehehehe all the way that the wife had to made me drink many cups of green tea to make me pee out all the alcohol. Which really helps. =D

I was kind of happy that the old dog, Hersheys, get to come and celebrate my wonderful day with me too.

Now I am looking forward to the actual day. =D

The Buffet and The Mini Chingay 2010

I meet up the juniors who meet me up to celebrate my 21st birthday. Although it's only a small gathering and eating at the Peranakan Buffet, it's something quite worth remembering. It's not everyday we get to have time together.

These are the girls that I hang out with during my secondary school time. We're from the school's wushu team. I guess we don't fit in the wushu category because of our looks. And we don't seem to change much. We're crazy in some ways, yet serious. We had so much joy and laughter back then. Oh, and we planned to visit our wushu coach during the lunar new year. =D I had a nice very lady-like necklace which I am not sure if I'd be wearing it anytime soon.

It's not everyday you see Star Wars characters walking down Orchard road. And it's a great timing since I had my Nikon D60 with me. I began snapping away ignoring the photography concept. I just want to snap and capture something to show my wife what she had missed.

They had this mini chingay 2010 parade along Orchard Road today. Many tourists, on-lookers, passer-bys stopped to take pictures of the performers. And I was trying to get the best spot to snap away without anyone blocking. But somehow, there's always people walking past, ignoring you or suddenly pop out of somewhere. Maybe, the next time I had such chances, I most probably will try to get some best shots.

Oh, and I received a very nice and useful book. [The Simple Guide to Grooming Your Dog]. This is a birthday present from a friend of mine in Hamster Shelter. =D Very thoughtful and I appreciate it. Have been looking and searching for grooming books to buy/borrow. Think I'll settle down with this first. =D Thanks Mitsu!

The Hair Cut

I had my hair cut yesterday and I finally chopped off the long hair of 2 years! Mad happy!

Had a rebonding for my fringe, now it's straight! =D
Then I had the hair cut, and now it doesn't look like me anymore. No pictures at the moment because I didn't take any.

Wife didn't like the 'tail' that I had kept for the hair. She says that she feels like chopping it off while I'm asleep.

Bought a very small bottle of hair wax, paid by my beautiful gorgeous wife. Somehow I don't really know how to style the hair so kind of wasted right? But anyway, I have a fresh new look. So happy. =D

My 21st Birthday Wish

• For true happiness that comes from within the heart.
• For the wife not to call me by my Chinese name.

Then they say the 3rd should be a secret. A secret it is. =D

Angry

Here's the reason why I am angry.

1. Samsung Omnia Pro B7320 sucks!
2. The battery is dying on me the 3rd/4th time already!
3. And the trip back to the service centre with the same problem sucks!
4. They keep telling me is the battery problem, not the phone!

I DEMAND A NEW SET BECAUSE I AM UNHAPPY WITH MY PHONE AS IT IS FAULTY!

So many problems but didn't help me solve it. How to trust Samsung in future if I were to purchase for a new phone. Should have waited for iphone 3GS to be out in m1 man.
