Pssst… Pssst psst pssstttt….

I’m closing this space. Well, not exactly closing. I’m just not going to update anymore. Certain things have happened and it’s resulted in the decision to stop blogging. Thus, no more updates.

Blogging, to me has always been about sharing things that happened in my life. All the good things and the bad ones. All the laughter and joy, the saddness and frustrations too.

For me, the short little chapter here over the past months have been really, really interesting. I’ll still be writing in the house blog. But no more personal blogs.

Thanks to all for reading and sharing your comments with me. I’ve had fun writing the blog and sharing my life with you all.

I was reading Dara’s blog just now. Then for some strange reason, I had this feeling that I haven’t felt in ages. A strange exciting feeling rising up within me. With this adrenaline rush up and down my spine and a strange sense of motivation. It’s the sort of feeling I used to get back when I was in Secondary School and during my Poly days.

Hmm…. I guess it’s a nice feeling to have while I’m here. Makes it feel closer to home. LoLz. Eek! I realise that I have quite a number of readings to do… I better go do something about it…

My room has become a FARTZONE because of Louis. He will walk and sit beside, FART, then take off to wherever you run to. He then acts innocent and looks at you cluelessly as to what he has just done. This will repeat over and over again, no matter how many times you yell at him or run away. This dog has the potential to win an Oscar Award for best animal actor.

Louis is not a dog. He is a SKUNK. They’re both black and white and they have tails. When both of them lift their tails up, it results in an action of which secretion of pungent and offensive odor is ejected. Okay. Louis doesn’t do that all the time. But still, he acts like half cat, half skunk.

On top of all that, he hates my new heater. My new heater is a fan heater. He will LIE in front of the heater with his face facing it. Then he will growl and grumble. Then he starts to bark at it. Then only he decides to move away from the heater, to another corner and makes funny grumbling noises. For some strange reason, he prefers the old one and likes to lie near the old one even when it is in use. Weird dog.

I think Louis has more or less stopped his puking spree. He’s back to sleeping in the kitchen instead of my room. He puked in my room a lot. I rather my room be a FartZone than a PukeZone. Wait. Let me think about it. Both are equally gross. One is air and the other is fluid which sticks to the carpet. Eek!

Alright. I have to roll him off my bed now. He’s sleeping soundly on it. LoLz. And yes, it certainly is nice weather for tea isn’t it? LoLz.

I woke up with a headache… And a load of mess. Once again, I didn’t have really good sleep.

0928h - Louis vomitted again. 3 times in a row. I got up, got him out into the backyard for him to do whatever business he wants, fed him, applied the carpet shampoo on the carpet.
0932h - I went back to sleep.
1238h - D called.
1240h - Wage knocked on my door. He asked me to go to the kitchen to take a lot. Guess what I saw? Heaps of plastic freezer bags around. Louis somehow managed to get hold of those bags from the dining table and tore it all up. We gave him a spanking. And in the process, he did a turn turtle while struggling from our grasp and let out a spray of his urine. So we spanked him more. And kept him on his leash. Oh yes, because of that he had to take a bath, and we both had to clean up the entire house.
1515h - Lunchtime. Finally, the first meal of the day.

So power right? Hey, I just came across this article.

Mayor calls for lifting Easter bans
By Bridie Smith
April 4, 2006

LORD Mayor John So has warned that Melbourne’s reputation as a shopping destination is under threat because of an out-of-date State Government ban on Easter trading.

Cr So called yesterday for city businesses to be allowed to trade over the Easter long weekend.

State Government trading laws ban large retailers across Victoria, such as Myer, Target, David Jones and supermarket chains, from opening on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Cr So said city businesses should be exempt from this rule, given Melbourne’s reputation as a shopping destination.

“The CBD is a tourist destination now,” Cr So said. “I urge the State Government to reconsider and have the CBD exempt from the Easter trading laws.

“Melbourne is an international shopping destination which rivals London, New York and Paris. It is a year-round, 24-hour vibrant city now.”

Cr So said Melbourne’s tourism growth rate outstripped the national average and that because Melbourne marketed itself as a shopping destination, an exemption from the Easter trading laws was vital.

“Easter is a good time for people to come to Melbourne. We want people to come to Melbourne to have a shopping experience, and that’s why it is so important that the opportunities for the CBD be capitalised and maximised.”

He said it was important that Melbourne’s reputation as an international city be maintained following the success of the Commonwealth Games.

Cr So’s calls were backed by the Australian Retailers Association Victoria, with executive director David Edwards calling for the laws to be reviewed.

“I wouldn’t say Victoria generally is behind the times, but in this particular field of recognising shopping as being one of the CBD’s main attractions, I think we need to review that rule,”Mr Edwards said.

“There would be a good case to be made that the CBD should be given special trading conditions.”

The laws already allow service stations, chemists, fast-food chains and small businesses with fewer than 100 employees to open during Easter.

A spokeswoman for Small Business Minister Andre Haermeyer said the City of Melbourne could apply for an exemption.

However, it would have to prove that there was a longstanding festival to justify the exemption.

“Victoria has the most liberal trading laws in Australia and the intention of introducing these shop trading restrictions was to ensure that as many Victorians as possible can share time with their family and friends,” the spokeswoman said.

Hah! They really should open on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Like Singapore! Hehehehehe. *yawns* I need to sleep. But I also need to clean up my room more. LoLz. I better get going to clean it up…

I had shitty sleep last night. This was what happened:

0100h - I turned off my lappie and headed for bed.
0150h - I heard retching. Louis vomitted his dinner out near my room door.
0153h - I finish cleaning up the room.
0154h - Short conversation with D.
0234h - Call from D.
0400h - Hang up the phone.
0428h - Retching noises again. Louis vomitted again.
0430h - Done with cleaning up.
0630h - Retching noises are heard again. Once again, Louis has vomitted.
0631h - The mess is cleaned up. I fall back into bed. Louis keeps licking my face refusing to let me go back to sleep. Oh yes Louis, I get the hint.
0632h - Bring Louis to the backyard to pee and SHIT (yes, at such a god damn horrible hour when I could be nice and snuggly in my warm bed. Instead, I’m outside in the cold, wearing only my 37deg tee with my FBT shorts and looking at the dog do his business - No. 1 & No. 2). Just when I think that it’s over and that I can bring him in, he decides to run to the back of the house. The narrow passageway that leads to my room window and to the toilet window. That’s where the back fence is. I had to go in (there are cobwebs there though we clear it regularly) and drag him out.
0640h - I finally get back to sleep.
0755h - Louis wakes me up. He needs to go use the toilet again. PLUS eat breakfast.
0800h - I fall back into sleep.
0955h - I sms my groupmates to tell them that I cannot go for group meeting. (I’m too sick, I couldn’t speak - I lost my voice and I really couldn’t speak, that’s why I smsed instead of calling)
1142h - I wake up.
1158h - I eat lunch with May Ying.
1230h - Present moment. I’m blogging here and I’ve finished washing all the dishes.

I shall have to go for Counselling workshop later. That’s at 2pm at Caulfield. I hope he’ll only teach for 1 hour. I really am quite tired and drained and my nose and throat really is sore and irritating. LoLz.

Oh, that pretty much sums up what happened during the night and why I didn’t get a good night’s rest.

I swear that tomorrow, I will remember to take a video. Opps. Here’s what happened. Wage injured himself. And I help him apply medication. And his moments of agony are extremely funny especially when his mantra is “Pain is weakness leaving the body”. Haha.

Anyway, tomorrow I will try to get the video taken. Hee~

Yay~ I have finished with my calculations for one of my many lab reports. Happy about it. Of course! So I can officially start on all the other parts. The thing is, I have to get the graph drawn. Shit. Now that’s not easy. Especially using SPSS. Hahaha.

Okay, I think I’ve slacked quite a bit today already. Hee~ Gotta go do my stuffs now.

If you have absolutely nothing to do… you can try this… http://thewicked.sgblogging.com/. It’s like a quiz sort of thing. More like a puzzle really. And you can try all the different levels and well, pass your time away. Or tear your hair out. Or whatever. LoLz~

Oh… PZ is over tonight… We’re supposed to be studying. Key word: Supposed. But well, we’re stuck on the puzzle website. Hahahahaha! Life is full of distractions isn’t it? LoLz~

Hmmm…. I’ve posted the parcel to D. I hope he receives it before 14 days. And I sure as hell hope that he will like it. =) Hush… He doesn’t know what’s inside. At least not all the things. Please, please let there be little mail so that the parcel will arrive fast. LoLz.

Speaking of which, I wonder when the Guide tees will arrive - to my house. XW sent it over. Or so what May Yi told May Ying that XW sent it over. Haven’t had the chance to check with her YET. LoLz~

Hmm… Okay… I better go do my stuff already. Blog another time.

KAN NI NA BEH PUA CHEE BYE! HONG GAN MOTHER FUCKER SUCK COCK ASS!

I’m damn, damn, damn irritated now.

1. I lost my lip balm. It’s the very berry flavoured one and it’s the third one (I lost the Strawberry Body Shop lip balm and the Nivea Strawberry Lip Balm). There goes all my berry flavoured lip blams.
2. I’m stuck with the yucky non-flavoured lip balms. That sucks BIG TIME.
3. SPSS cannot work. It jams my lappie up.
4. I have problems opening and unzipping files in my lappie.
5. Louis chewed my new story book (I just bought it on Friday at Chadstone!).

Seems like small, trival things right? Well, it all happened within an HOUR. That’s how shitty it is. To add on, I’m falling sick AGAIN. A month ago this time, I was sick. Now, I’m sick again. *araghz*

Alright. Ranted enough already. Got to go cook dinner. May Ying’s got a test so she cannot cook today.

Hmm… Let’s start with Tuesday (4th April 2006). Christine came by to collect her jacket, purse and some papers because she left them at my place on Monday night. So I pass them to her. Then she left.

Later, just before lunch, Wage came back from school holding a mysterious package. He said that he found it outside our front door.

The mysterious package.

“Huh? What’s this? Looks like soil.” (Hmm… I think the ‘Free Sex’ service is compliments of Wage. Contact him for more details)

Then he put it on the table. Neither me nor May Ying could answer him. So I suggested to May Ying to open it and see what it is. May Ying opened it and promptly said that it was indeed soil.

That’s when I started thinking. And so I said, “Maybe it’s the tea for making bubble tea!”

“Huh?” They both said.

“Uh, well, Christine’s Dad did mention that he’ll pass us the tea for making bubble tea last night. So maybe Christine forgot to pass it to me and left it at our door instead.” I said. “Hmm, lemme smell that thing first.”

“Ever thought that it might be anthrax?” Wage said, not really meaning it.

“How can it be anthrax?!” said May Ying. “Anthrax is white!”

“Well, they could have dyed it to disguise it,” replied Wage.

“Don’t be silly lah,” said May Ying.

Soil or Anthrax? Or just tea for making bubble tea?

By this point of time, I’ve already sniffed into the bag. And so I announced to everyone, “It’s TEA lah! For making bubble tea!!!” Upon finishing my sentence, I dashed into my room and grabbed my phone. Yup, there was a sms from Christine (I suddenly thought that she might have messaged me because I left my phone in my room and after I thought she left, I went to make lunch and I couldn’t hear the door knock because of the rangewood). The message read: “Hey I left a bag of bubble tea powder outside your door- knocked a few times but think u busy. my mum give u one! rem to take in ah! ”

It is bubble tea powder. Not soil or anthrax.

There you have it. Real bubble tea powder.

Yup, so case solved. It’s not anthrax or soil. It’s just bubble tea powder.

On Friday (7th April 2006), May Ying, Wage and I went to chadstone. We had to get some stuff…. And I was just wondering out loud to May Ying if Koko Black was opened. She said that she didn’t think that it’ll be open yet. But what a pleasant surprise we had! It was opened!

Here’s Koko Black @ Chadstone.

The familiar sign….

T2 is nearby…. opposite in fact…

So we all decided to go in for a drink. As usual, the service is really prompt and good. Plently of chocolates on display. Really great stuff.

I had the Chocolate Ice Cream Spectacular. It’s premium chocolate ice cream topped with freshly made chocolate sauce and dark chocolate shavings. It’s simply divine. It’s not those type of ice creams that makes your throat clogged and requires you to drink water before continuing. This one just slides down your throat smoothly and tastes perfectly nice. Beautiful piece of work.

Wage, well, Wage decided to just have a pot of Earl Grey tea. He’s not a fan of chocolate.

But they are really generous with the amount of tea leaves that they give…. Nice strong pot of tea…

Hmm… May Ying had the same thing as last time - Koko Black Hot Chocolate. It’s freshly brewed traditional recipe made with dark Belgian Chocolate - no powder. And made with only full cream milk only. The standard and consistency is the same as the branch in City. Simply too marvelous.

What we paid for all the heavenly stuff… It’s reasonable. And the good thing is that the drinks taste great. It’s funny how they put the address on the receipt as the one in Royal Arcade Melbourne. I guess that’s their first outlet perhaps.

Louis is a pig. Well, what I mean is that he sleeps like one. Take a look.

Sleep pose #1

Sleep pose #2

Sleep pose #3

Sleep pose #4

Sleep pose #5

Sleep pose #6

Well, I was using the lappie at my desk and my chair was somewhere else so I had to kneel down… And he promptly just lay on my legs and fell asleep….

Josh left his beanie behind… And Louis claimed it…

Last night, I cooked chicken rice for dinner…

While I was washing the veggies, I found a snail…

I present to you… Our dinner…

It comprises of…

Chicken! *duh!*

Rice! Ahbuden. If not called chicken rice for what. Right anot? Hahahaha

Veggies!

Cabbage soup.

We thought of drinking this….

But on second thought, we drank this. Why? Because I forgot to chill the Aloe Vera drink and because we’re all not done with our assignments. Better enjoy it after we’re done with assignments.

I didn’t manage to get the chicken rice chilli. So this had to do for the time being…

Yeap… That’s our dinner last night… Nice right? Well, lemme tell you, it’s never easy cooking chicken rice without a chopper to chop up the damn chicken. Try using a normal kitchen knife. It’s hard to hack the damn chicken into pieces. Don’t always believe what you see at those hawker stalls. It’s never that easy. Oh, but thanks to all those teachings from Uncle Mail, I managed. It’s like chopping firewood. Always aim at the same spot. Then hit it. Then try again. Then the wood spilts. Oh yes, it works the same way for chicken if you don’t have a chopper. Hee~ See, Girl Guide training helps! Hehehehe~

Ah… I guess this sums up a chain of interesting events. LoLz. All the reported events started on Tuesday (4th April 2006) and ended on Saturday (8th April 2006). Yeap, that also includes the sleeping poses by Louis. He did it on Wednesday (5th April 2006), Thursday (6th April 2006) and Friday (7th April 2006)… See, there’s always something interesting happening… Wahahahaha…

Alright, that’s it for now…

I cannot find two of my lip balms…. Both Strawberry in flavour. Shit. Where are they? My lips are cracking so damn badly already. *ughz* I cannot remember where I kept them and they are not in any of my bags. So where the hell can they be? Not in the boxes either. Not on my tables nor my shelf. *araghz*

Today is a lazy day. Well, kind of lah. But I’m supposed to be doing work though. Hehehehe. Made chicken rice for lunch. Will be uploading pictures real soon.

Oh yes, I’ve started wearing my new Grosby Slippers. Hahahaha. It’s very comfortable. I love it. And it’s green in colour! Hee~

Okay, I better get to doing my stuffs already. Laters!

I’ve got lots to blog about… But I’m currently facing a time shortage. Hee~ That’s because I’ve got quite a fair bit of things to do. LoLz. Life of a Uni Student… It’s tough. Wahahahahaha!!!

Went Chadstone today…. Visited Koko Black again… So yeah… I’ll blog about it soon… Upload the pics soon too. Hee~

Yes, got things to do now. Cannot blog now. Later then.
