A Neverending Story
Its driving me crazy. The renovation going on next door has been going on for months. It goes on for a few days then stops for a few weeks then starts again. All the drilling right next to the wall that I sit beside is giving me a headache. I really wonder what they are up to, maybe drilling for petroleum or something.
Its especially loud today. I thought they were going to drill right through the wall itself. Can't do anything but turn up the volume on my headphones and blast music.
Prison break
What a nightmare last night. My robo Achira escaped into my small, dusty and cramped storeroom after it jumped out from my hands when i was playing with it on the floor.
For those of you not familiar with robos or Roborovskies(the actual name), they are the smallest species of hamster in the world. You can easily fit 5 of them on your palm. They are known for being nervous and very fast.
So anyway I was like, oh nooo it escaped! Then my dad made things worse by chasing it until it squeezed under the storeroom door !
On opening the store...
oh crap.....It seems to have run under the rack here..and its only a few inches high
The first thing my dad said was," oh great, its going to stink when it dies in there"
I was crawling on my hands ...very hard coz its like a super cramped area. Shone my torchlight in and saw my robo here
How to get it out ??? HOWWWW? It was impossible for me to reach it from my prone position on the floor. even if I could its no easy feat to catch a squirming little fluffball without at least using 2 hands, which was impossible in that situation. In the end I took my robo's ham head house and put it there, hoping my robo would go in...which it did not.
After waiting for it to go in on its own according for like more than 10 minutes I finally just layed down flat on my belly and reached my hand in and tried to shoo it toward the ham head.... after a few minutes of trying while it actually went in! wah..immediately i turned the ham head upward and closed my hand over the hole and took it out!
Finally I popped the little rascal back in her tank.
The culprit safe back in her tank with Paviella her sister.
Took me more than 20 minutes of crawling and prodding to finally capture it back. At 1 am in my pajamas I was covered with dust and sweating like crazy. Had to take a bath. I'm sure the robo did it on purpose.
She has a dream
A dream to become a trapeze artist.
To soar up gracefully to new heights
Anyone can pursue their dreams of flying..... even a .....
gerbil?
This seems familiar...
Which is what the cream puff seller must have thought when she saw me, coz she was grinning widely. You see about 1 week ago, laden with shopping bags, I told her, One please.... and fumbled awkwardly for my wallet amidst the sea of bags.
It so happens the same thing happened today. I think the seller must have recognised me, this time also heavily laden with bags and digging here and there in my handbag for my wallet.
Anyway, having done with buying the cream puff, I tried to find my way to the car park but got slightly disoriented. It was really no joke going up and down the shopping mall searching for the exit coz those bags were heavy! By the time I made it to the car and took off, I realised I couldnt lift the cream puff to my mouth because my entire left arm had gone numb from carrying all the bags.
More dejaavu-ness
1. I also bought big bags of pet items last week
2. I also ate the cream puff in the car
3. I was also shopping for birthday presents last week
4. I wished I had put my pet items into the car first after I bought them.
My Mid Autum Festival
Ok I know this post is like waaay outdated, but anyway I will just blog it, since I already planned to do so since last month.
Now way back when I was small, I think around 10? We used to celebrate the mooncake festival at our friends' houses, going around with the lanterns and all, then eating, playing games, candles and fireworks...
Well those were the days lar...as we grew up we stopped doing all these la, the gov banned the fireworks and playing with lanterns was getting so childish and all.
Anyway, thanks to some self confessed peter pans, last year I did celebrate mid autumn festival, as well as this year.
We had mooncakes... however not just any mooncake but SAMBAL mooncake and a few other interesting ones. The taste was pretty unique but not bad at all.
We arranged candles into patterns just like we did when we were kids. Can you tell what this is supposed to be?
Well its actually
t('.'t)
u know, a fella holding up his uh..middle fingers, hahaaahaha, so much for the usual heart shapes and all... although we did those too
After that, being the creative people we are, we melted down the candles to make art!
Mmm, looking like candy!
We played with lanters this time too...
well...actually we played at burning them :p
Well I guess thats how deprived adults play with "kiddy" mooncake festival toys. Our brains have been warped....
My name means WHAT?
A souvenier from China from YS. Its supposed to be the interpretation of my name or something. When I took i t out of the box, I was rather dumbfounded.
Uh... A fat man standing watch outside, while a thin man is roasted over a fire in a small hut... next to a forest of dead trees with something that looks like the eye of sauron staring....
Actually the person drawing it did explain why it was drawn like that and all, unfortunately YS was not listening because he was distracted by being late.
Well I felt slightly better when I saw the picture of the stall. At least most of the drawings of names look rather weird as well and not just mine...haha
I am not sick, I can do it!
No these are not my words, but the words of our Hero Alvin.
Having spent practically the whole day at the
"One in a million" audition, he was poofed at dinnertime but being the hero that he is, he turned up for our dinner appointment. We decided to go to the tomyam shop. On the way there in CY's car, Alvin was teasing me about the time I puked twice during our redang trip ferry ride. Anyway, when we reached the shop.......
Alvin : I want seafood tomyam, with ADDED CHICKEN.
Me: Wah... can finish or not.
Alvin: Of course, I'm hungry!
5 minutes later
Alvin: I'm so dead tired. *Continues eating
10 minutes later
Alvin: I'm so dead tired. *Continues eating
15 minutes later
Alvin: I'm so dead tired. *Stares blankly at food
Me: Maybe u should drink some 100 plus
Alvin: Good idea,
Alvin : Boss, one 100 plus!
Alvin chugs down some 100 plus in 1 gulp
Alvin: Ah... thats better * Continues eating
20 minutes later
Alvin: I'm so dead tired. Why am I so tired? *Stares at food
Me: You sick ar?
Alvin:
No, I'm not sick, just tired..
CY: You don't look so good, somemore order so much but can't finish half
Me: Later the aunty thinks her food something wrong
25 minutes and another "Why am I so tired"
X3 from Alvin later
Alvin:.........
CY: Wah, Alvin no energy to talk adi
Me: Ya wo....
Alvin: Want...go..back.....
CY: Okok, faster eat, faster eat!
Me: I'm eating as fast as I can!
Me: Ok, done! Lets go
CY: Er Alvin, u stay here and wait lar, I'll bring the car
Alvin:
Its OK, I CAN do it
We walk... and walk... then both of us turn our heads so look at Alvin
Me: Eh, wheres Alvin?
Cy: EH? Disappear adi one...
CY thought he fainted, I thought he was playing a trick on us. We finally saw him emerging from behind a car, only to dash back behind it again. Actually what really happened was he was er..busy leaving his food at the side of the road.
CY: Oh gosh...you stay here with him, I'll go get the car.
Me: Ok...
Alvin: Wait, I feel all better already!
I can walk myself.
Me: Er... u sure ar..
Alvin: yaya, lets go
We made it halfway, right till the road divider, when Alvin suddenly turned pale and started down at the drain.
Me: (Oh boy, there he goes again.) Lets just wait for CY's car here.
Alvin: (Deep breaths) "
Its ok, I can do it"
Alvin continues to plod on like one of resident evil's zombiesWell we finally made it back to the house, where Alvin took a rest before getting packed home in CY's car.
Well, we were not really being mean, only those of you who know Alvin will understand why we found all these so funny. I mean.. apparently the man of steel got defeated by gas!
Anyway, do see the pics at my
Sister's blogOmake:
CY (snapping pics)
Me: Take pics of his uneaten food as well lah.
Cy: Ok. (Snaps snaps)
Alvin: Stop......making fun of my agony.......
--------------------------
Alvin: Its ok if you tell others that I puked, but DON'T lah say that you helped me to eat my food! My reputation gone lahhh.
---------------------------
Cy: I wonder if it rained today.
Me: I wonder if Alvin's food is still at the side of the road now, later pass by can take a look
Alvin: Oh Shaddup....
