Baby's new smaller home...

Me with the female puppy...
Me with the male puppy up for adoption at Dogoholics...
dinner
Had a class outing today at Fig & Olive at Vivo City... The food there's really not bad actually... and I guess we had some nice sniggers on a potentially blooming romance in our class... haha... actually, more like constant teasing lah... kinda like back to sec sch actually... nice to be immature and childish once in a while and tease others with such things...
Volleyball today was painful, cos of the service practice I had before the actual class. Nursing a swollen ring finger, thumb, and forearm. Everyone seemed off form today, and we started with 5 versus 6 initially, till Sheryl came and joined our team instead. We lost in the end, both sets in fact, prob due to fact that our service was horrible, plus we weren't really communicating that much and we were kinda all over the play. Something about the dynamics of the team just seemed weird. Plus, personally, I felt that the guys were trying to do too much... a bit too much over their ability... like trying to set for a spike when we could have just easily sent it over instead... but ended up missing the spike and losing a point. Oh well, no point crying over spilt milk now... But I have to say that I do find myself liking volleyball more and more now...
Wow, it sounds like a horror film in my neighbourhood now... I've got cats howling and yeowling in the night... kinda creepy... prob mating season...

Caught in the act! My darling with his 2nd lover!
Puppies for adoption at Dogoholics
Exhile Island
Baby has been banished out of her private housing estate which she previously shared with her two 3-week old babies into a smaller property. The move was carried out yesterday, when the cannibalistic Baby was seen attacking one of her babies.
Perhaps exhile island suits her better - a lenient punishment for the amount of deaths under her name.
However, I did get a earful from my dad for obtaining exhile island. Something about wasting money and lack of 'standing space' in the kitchen. Oh wells... till the day I don't stay under the roof of someone else, I guess I will be subject to constant nagging. But of course, it also comes with great perks as well, such as great home-cooked meals, constant care and concern, free meals... Oh well, the dilemma.
My darling is looking to getting another husky. Think it'll be better when we have our own home, when we don't have to be responsible for what it does to someone else's house. Then we can do whatever we want, and have all the animals we want! I guess the theme for designing the house most prob will be........ Animal Kingdom!

dog cafe
Yesterday was a long day out for Vodka. Brought him to Sentosa in the morning for an early dip in the sea. Sentosa in the morning is so much better... less crowded, less noise, a gentler sun, and less tiring. It's a great way to start the day off, actually. Went over to the smaller island across the bridge from Palawan Beach, and we had the entire stretch to ourselves! Vodka was so excited at being back there again after being MIA for so long, that he didn't need any persuation, like he needed i the past, to jump right into the water. So proud of him. He's finally learnt to love the water without fear. He even ventured out further than he used to, without us even having to coax him. Pehaps like Dan said, he's a big boy now.
Spent about an hour there before going off to meet Derence at Batok, then bringing Vodksy back for a shower. We whisked him out once again before he even had time to rest, bringing him to a dog cafe in Serangoon- Dogoholics. It's at 519 Serangoon Road and it's quite a nice place, though the food is rather tasteless, cos it's catered for your furkids as well. Saw this tiny Yorkshire Terrier there though, and it's so small! It looked so adorable with a tiny black ribbon on its head, plus, she's so friendly and approached us, and even Vodka, who looked like a giant next to the tiny tot. The owners of the cafe adopted an abandoned Labrador Retriever, and he's so well-behaved, though he does carry a sad look on his face. I guess it's lucky that peole as kind-hearted as them have taken him into their care.
They are also housing 2 puppies, mixed breed, both merely a month old. Both were also found untended and were brought home by an uncle. However, his wife threatened to throw the 2 darlings away so he had no choice but to give them away, which is how they ended up in the cafe eventually. The pups are so adorable that I couldn't bear leaving them when we had to go. Hugged the cuties after they just awoke from their slumber, both blur-faced. The female actually peed on me soon after I carried her over from the cafe owner's arms. Dan says it's cos she feels comfortable in my arms, though I'd say it's more of an unfortunate timing. Have pictures of them and will post them in the pics section soon. Anyone keen to adopt please do drop by the cafe.
Seeing all these abandoned dogs, I think that when I am ready for my own dog, I would go for an adopted one, instead of purchasing one from the stores. These poor abandoned dogs have no one to care for them, waiting for someone to bring them home and to love and care for them. Of course finding the right dog is important too as well. I guess it's a matter of matching personalities and of having both parties liking each other. It's never a good idea to rush into obtaining a pet, without prior knowledge to the committments and effort you are willing to spend on it. Speaking of this, I think I really should spend more time with my hamsters.
Oh, carrying on with Vodka's day out... went to West Coast Dog Run after that and didn't spend too much time there, cos the place was really muddy. White dogs were turning brown there, so we decided to cut his outing short.
And as for today, our dear Vodka came into the room and jumped onto bed with me, snuggling next to me, before being chased off by Dan. In fact, he jumped on several times to lick us and to snuggle in bed with us. He's gonna have another fun-filled day today, cos we're bringing him to a poochie-party later. Hopefully it will be a good one and he returns a tired-out and less-energetic pup, for the benefit of his owners.

vodka runaway and new printer!
NEWS FLASH - ATTEMPTED RUN AWAY
An attempted run-away was committed by a Mr Vodka, a 9-month old Siberian Husky. The accused managed to flee and run into oncoming traffic after his collar, which was bought recently from Bangkok, snapped open. Fortunately, Vodka escaped the incident unscathed, as alert drivers managed to stop in time. Thankfully, an accident was not caused by the great escape. His owner, and also my dear dear, Mr Danny Lim, ran across the road after him, in fear of his safety, and also, of losing him. Luckily, he managed to catch up with Vodka and safely put him on his collar again. Unbeknownst, the collar faulted again and snapped; this time, Vodka ran towards an unknowing Malay lady, scaring the victim to tears. However, she was comforted by Danny who chased after Vodka again, and this time, tied him up with the rope of his bottle, ensuring a safe journey home then on. The faulty collar has since been disposed of, to prevent further similar incidents from occurring.
Was Wing's birthday yesterday... had lunch on him at Suki Sushi... buffet. Didn't eat much, but did venture and attempt something unknown... some green strands that we assumed was seaweed. Went to K-box with him the day before, on me. Had great fun actually, even though it was only 2 people for 4 hours... but it was good. In fact, I found the time insufficient! Think I'm soon becoming ga-ga for KTV-ing.
After the great buffet, I went on to have dinner with Dan, and Vodka, at this really great place at Railway Mall. It's called Hooked and it's good for fish dishes. Kinda like Fish & Co, but I think much better in terms of value and variety of fishy dishes. Dan tried the Shark Curry, while I tried the Poached Salmon, both of which were really good. I'm someone who doesn't really enjoy salmon, but the dish was so good! The salmon simply melts in your mouth, unlike most other salmon dishes at other eateries, all dried up. Vodka sat on the floor beside our table and managed to catch a lot of attention from passers-by, and also managed to scare a poor little girl to tears. This girl came up to Vodka, probably wanting to have a better look at him, or to touch him, when he suddenly pounced at her, as he always does when he's excited. The girl got so frightened, she ran towards her dad and wailed. I think the dad was really pissed, though he couldn't really blame us for that boo-boo. Oh, the service staff at Hooked were really nice too, and the best thing is that there's no service charge at the place! You only have to pay an extra 5% for GST... soon to be 7% though...
Had a busy day today... met Dan and Derence for lunch today at Sembawang Shopping Centre, and had some great Thai cuisine at the popular restaurant. Ordered my fav pineapple rice. And Dan's fav, the steamed cod fish in light soy sauce. After which, went to Clementi for some eyebrow threading (it was so crowded!) then headed on to Marina Square for some shopping. Bought 2 panty and bra sets, and a brafor just $27.70! Actually, it amounted to $52.70, but cos of my $25 voucher, I got it at less than $30. New lingerie for CNY!
Was joined by Saiful and we headed over to Funan, where I bought my new printer, a Canon MP160. Good value for good quality... all in all, not a bad purchase. Figured I'd rather spend a bit of cash and get myself a printer, rather than having to worry about having to print in sch and all. At least I can print at my own pleasure, even though it is taking up half of my table space currently. Quite pleased with its performance thus far.
Nursing pair of sore feet now, due to my bad decision of wearing heels today. Wanted to season out the pair of heels that I bought last year, but probably only worn less than 6 times. I call them my 'pain pain shoes'. And they really do live up to that name. Everything was all right until I bought the printer and had to lug it around from the train to home, thanks to Saiful who helped me carry it all the way to the station... hehe... thanks bro! At least I hope I didn't look as weird as this girl I saw in Marina Sq who was wearing this pair of dressy black heels that totally didn't go with her attire. She looked like a sec sch girl, dressed in colourful and youthful clothes, and she was wearing a pair of dressy black heels that looked too dressy for her outfit. Plus, she walked like the heels were obviously giving her trouble, and one look at her and you can tell that she's a beginner heel-wearer. Upon seeing that, I immediately hoped that I didn't look that awkward and from this point on, I shall take her as a reminder to walk gracefully when in heels, despite the pain they're inflicting on me.
Am peeling currently, due to the sunburn from the Hantu trip. Will be going to Sentosa tmr to even out the tan, so hopefully the sun will be there for me! Prepare to see a brand new toasted Evon! Haha...

pillow shopping
Think I'm soon becoming an auntie... in the sense that I'm actually finding pleasure in purchasing pillows that are on sale. Bought 2 duck down pillows from Taka today... one for me and one for my darling. Dang it, if I knew they were available at such a low price in S'pore, I wouldn't have bought two from KL the other time, having to lug them around in the bus and back to S'pore... argh...
Been darned tired since returning from Hantu. Think I need time to adjust to the city life again. Totally no mood to shop around at all. Geez, what's happening to me?!?!?!
Baby is suspected to be pregnant again, deduced by her rapidly increasing size. Hopefully she'll bear and raise the babies up and not have the urge to murder and eat up any of them.

FIBA & Hantu
It's a new year... but some how, it doesn't feel that different. I used to love ushering in the new year, but for no apparent reason, this year has been a quiet one and has come in silently and without much excitement on my part. Perhaps it's due to the lack of celebration...
Anyways, been busy busy this hols... and it's all coming to an end... sob sob... Been helping out at the Asia FIBA U20 Basketball Tournament as a Liaison Officer for the Indonesia team. They're a really nice bunch of peeps and it was really great getting to know them. Despite the apparent language barrier since not all of them can speak or comprehend English. Still, they're a fun bunch who're always engaging in some sort of fun and entertaining activity. THe competition has ended with China emerging as the champion, followed closely by Japan who trailed by a mere 2 points. Overall, it was quite an interesting experience, being able to help out in an event as such, despite some cock ups along the way. Had some problems due to the clashing of my helping out at the event and my GESL project; caused a huge headache for me and caused me to even argue with my facilitator, but I'm glad that it's all over and done with now, all sorted out. Really have to thank Mr Koh for his immense help though, for being so understanding of the situation and for helping me out of it.
Just returned from Pulau Hantu on a 3-day camp. Spent most of the time basking in the sun, and even managed to muster up the courage to enter the sea, of unknown depths, all thanks to Dan and Roy, who had to constantly ensure me that it's going to be ok, and helped me get into the water and straight into a life-saver. It was kinda cool, just floating in the open sea, though scary too, seeing how I'm not an adept swimmer. I'm just thankful that I'm all right and am back home safely. The more adventurous took on diving from the tower at the jetty and I watched in awe, thinking how they can actually manage to do that and become such good swimmers. Definitely spurred me on to wanting to become a better swimmer.
Also did some fishing with Dan. Managed to catch a couple of kunings (the fish you find in Nasi Lemak). It's nice being on a secluded island for a couple of days, just chilling without modern technology and the stress and hustle and bustle of the city. Although I didn't do anything much at the island, just being there was relaxing enough, plus, I did return with a great tan!
Now,it's just a couple of days to the beginning of the new sem, and although I am excited, I'm kinda scared of the workload to come again. But well, I guess I have to get through that, as I've done so for the past 2 decades. Here's to the new year... hope this will be a great year for one and all. :)
