one and a half day break
and so, on monday i left the house at 9.00am to ride the train all the way to the end of the east-west line. that took me exactly about 45mins , cuz i arrived there just on time. hopped into the car at the parking lot and off i go to malaysia!! and yes, it takes skill to fill in the stupid white card when someone is driving and it's like minutes away from the checkpoint. lolz...
we took the bumpy terrain ride to the house. so fun!! saw upcoming developments being built, universities being planned for the future, marine activity centre. how exciting!!
back at the house, i was greeted by best friend. or in fact this time round, it was best friendS! (yes, with a capital S) because Silver was so affectionate with me. it was a total 360 degree change in him. he bit me the last time i first met him. and there was Titus as usual. he's still as charming as ever. but Silver was the one who kept sniffing and being cheeky around me. and he was humping on me!! do i even smell like a female dog? and there's Jewel, and she's going to be a mother i a couple of days!!! i wonder how many pups is she carrying in her? she's been panting and panting alot, it must be tough for her, a tiny dog to be carrying all the weight. i can't wait to hear the good news!!
shortly after my arrival, we headed out for brunch at another shopping mall. then after, we walked a bit in the mall and grabbed some snacks for the movie marathon for the day. oh, thank God that i noticed the plastic bag of snacks i bought had a hole and i took my wallet out cuz i threw it in after i paid for the snacks. *phew* and so we headed home, and i started on WallE. quite a nice one i think. even robots fall in love... haha!! then J wanted to watch Money No Enough 2, so i watched with her + being her personal audio interpreter. J cried a couple of times for those emo scenes. movie was paused and we walked the doggies for the evening. the little girl of the dog whom J rescued and gave back saw us walking the dogs, and she asked J if she can walk her dog with her. and so i accompanied along. [please see part 2 of the story at the end of this entry]
went back and showered, then left to grab dinner at the night market. i had corn on the cob, lime juice, and a packet of carrot cake back home for dinner. got back home, and continued on the movie till the end. it was 10+, and i had no idea what to watch. so i watched Run Papa Run myself. =) went to sleep after it finished. honestly, i think i didn't sleep well last night. haha!!
today morning, i "pretended" to be sleeping. i know that Silver and Titus jumped on my bed (cuz i was sleeping outside) trying to wake me. I tried to nap for a while longer. and guessed what?! Titus came up and snuffed me without "Mama" knowing. cheeky boy huh... had coffee, then walk the doggies again. brought Jewel out for light brunch and she was so well-behaved. and, i met 2 cute little boys with their grandama. the mixed malay+chinese boy had big eyes and long lashies! he's so charming and adorable... how i wished my nephew was like this. went back after makan-ing, relax for a while, and it's time to get my arse back here. =(
and yes, i am on a "Rescue Diamond" mission. cuz that little girl whom we walked her dog with, they are not a good, responsible family to own the dog. she is a spoilt kid. thankfully Mom has relatives in JB, so can gather some help to get Diamond out of the horrible place. i am determined to find Diamond a better owner than the little girl's family who doesn't care much about the dog's life.
alright, i have a joke to tell. here goes:
J to me: eh, so your malaysian boyfriend is, dark, black, and hairy. but not very tall lehx...
me to J: *nods* yes!
go figure out who if you can... lolz...
well, do i want to buy a house in malaysia? do i even think of moving out of where i am living? maybe, possible... but i don't have enough $$$$. 10, 2o years down the road, we shall see...
apologies... no photos taken on this trip.

another item strucked off the shopping list.
i bought myself an adidas duffel bag. and i seriously think is exactly the same one bryan had got from vietnam.
oh well, i cannot complain much cuz i bought it with a $30 gift voucher. which meant i only paid 25buckaroos for it.
i saw the pair of slippers i wanted for a darn long time on 50% sale!!! i should just got it on the spot, but i had no idea why i didn't do so. how dumb and silly of me. maybe i will just go back there tomorrow and buy it. wahahah!!
my freaking room is in a mess! or should i say, organised mess?!

the mind wondering
is there afterlife for animals? or in fact, for all living things?
is there really a rainbow bridge, where our beloved pets will go to after leaving this world. will they be enjoying their 2nd new life there, and at the same time, waiting for us to be with them once again.
but then, if animals can communicate with you through their emotions, won't they also have a soul?
i think it is the first time that i felt so much over an animal that died. perhaps you may be thinking that, "it's just an animal... what's there to be sad about?" well, i think it's because i was his "babysitter" and he sometimes was my responsibility.
and i don't remember being so upset that i had lost 2 bunnies before. but i suppose, there is this connection that you feel or have with a dog. the feeling is different.
maybe also why dogs are considered man's best friend.
and to you, thank you for entrusting murphy into my hands when you were away. i certainly enjoyed my short stays with him.

i actually cried over the loss of prince murphy. and i had initially thought that i could visit him once he recovers. but i did not even had the chance to bid goodbye. :(
never would i have thought that i will cry over him, because i do not own him at all. but i suppose there is this emotional attachment to him for the last 2 years or so.
to my best memory, he is the first dog that i got to know upclose. he was so well-mannered and obedient that he doesn't jump on or bark at you for no reason. that is why i love him muchies.
what i'm praying now is that, the rest of the "children" will be fine after realising this loss in the family. i pray also that "mama & papa" will be stronger to manage the rest of the kids after this tough time.
i should pay them a visit soon.

a dedication to prince murphy
you barked at me the very first time i met you, cuz you had thought i was an intruder to your home. but no, you warmed up to me after a while. and since then, i called you "my new best friend."
months after that, i had the privilege of baby sitting you for the few days before the new year. i missed those times spent with you when your "parents" were not around.
you are a greedy dog, but at the same time a happy one. cuz you had lots of tender-loving care from the people whom you know. you made the office alive with your presence.
you are also a brave dog who will always protect your "parents and siblings" when faced with dangerous situations. i'm proud of you.
and you were indeed like a human being. you understood what we said about you. and you try to be cheeky and naughty at times. that's you.
even though you were not mine, you were a part of me and my life.
prince murphy, you lived a good life and will be dearly missed.

i just realised that, there are many things i would love to do but did not have the chance to do so.
play badminton, play the guitar, play the drums, photography, *what else?*
so what if i had received a badminton racket as a christmas present long long time ago? i had no official lessons.
i had once received a classical guitar. what then? i also did not go for lessons.
the only enrichment thingie i recalled attending was gymbobs where i learnt how to do forward and backward rolls.
i remembered there were art classes that i went do. but that didn't help me, cuz i can't draw for nuts.
and there were the once ever popular abacus classes. oh my 天! i remembered attending classes at the RC for a period, then went to a private class. but i always never do homework. it accumulated and accumulated. haha!! but i stilll can remember some of the "formula" from those classes.
oh, i had maths tuition during primary school. and guess what? i also never do tuition homework. i only remembered the one time i did was because teacher say will give me something if i do it. so i did and got rewarded. haha!!
yup... do i have a childhood? i don't think so lehx...
i think people will be surprised to know that i have never gone clubbing, to zouk, mos, st james or any kind of those places before. but that does not mean that i do not drink. i do drink, but at decent places like pubs or chill out places.
what was or am i missing out? i really have no idea. i just want to satisfy myself with the things i did not have or get to do.
i long and yearn for many things.

life after work is already boring enough. no friends to go out with, no where to go chill. why can't i have some entertainment of my own even at home?
found a 7ft foldable pool table, complete with a set of balls + 7 cues of different length on sale for less than 600buckaroos!! good deal isn't it?!
apparently my mom thinks it's expensive and don't even want to listen to me talk about it. she asked where to put if buy? so i said my room. space? dump away those unwanted stuff in the room, reconfigure furniture around, should not be a problem then.
oh please, i think i have complained thousand and one times that part of my room is chucked with stuff from donkey years ago. and currently, the living room has like luggages, mattresses, and dvd players lying around. gosh, where am i living at?! a pig sty? the storeroom is kept with 'god-knows-what' until there has absolutely no room to walk. i call it a warehouse, not storeroom.
can i like move out and live with minimal stuff?

Labels: wish list
i watched a video the day before yesterday and watch it again yesterday (since it's saturday already)... i liked it and i'm sorta able to relate to it. anyhow, i think i can watch that same video over and over again (countless times) and ask myself "what am i busy with?" what can i say "no" to, if i had said "yes"?
is life filled with the less important things than the more important ones? are we willing to let go of the less important stuff in life and be focused and disciplined towards the more important ones?
i like these 2 things he said - 1) "can't be everything for everybody.", 2) "being busy is a drug that alot people are addicted to."
yes, cheryl can't be the everything for everybody. people should learn to not rely on that 1 person. moreover, i do not want to be the everything for everybody. it get tiring you know...
yes yes, and we know we are always busy. but, just what are we busy with? school? work? and god knows what? is it then an excuse for us not to bother or care about the important things, when we don't even know exactly what we are busy with.
okok... enough of ramblings here...
*snooze*
ripped this off someone's blog entry.
"A best friend isn't someone whose just always there for you; it's someone who understands you a bit more than you understand yourself."
i suppose not.
HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!!!
just felt like wishing everybody that...
