Bloggin on the new laptop now. Testing it before I hand it over to mom... I've always had a soft spot for new electronic gadgets like this new baby that is awesome! For a 'free' laptop it looks damn nice! No more ugly fugly dinosaurs that schools usually hand to the students - a brand new ass-kicking machine this is! The shiny metallic finish, touchpad buttons and even a tiny light for dark moments.

Anyways, before everyone thinks I'm crazy swooning over a non-animate object, I'm totally aching all over! Nothing to do with throwing shot puts or the discus, but spring cleaning. Yes, climbing up and down, scrubbing hard to reach places and all. Really works weird muscles that I didn't know I had.

It's only when I start cleaning my own house that I realise how much our parents have done for us. Finally understand my mom for the constant nagging to clean up the house and help her with the chores, cos they are such a pain in the arse. Almost wished that I had my own kids whom I can nag into doing the chores with me too.

Woke up from my nap in a start once again - Vodka had one of his choking, trembling and shaking fits. Dan was home this time round and had such a shock. He didn't puke out what was causing the choke, but he got over it after a while.

Guess he swallowed whatever it was. If it was something that flew into my house from the ledge outside, all thanks to the idiots who constantly throw trash out their windows cos they are too lazy to move their fat arses to the dustbin, I swear karma will bite them in the arse so they won't have one to sit around on anymore.

After his terrifying ordeal, he ended up walking around in a trance-like state, pacing from the kitchen to the toilet for about 5 minutes. We were so scared that the lack of oxygen to his brain had impaired his thinking ability or functioning. Thank goodness he was back to normal after a while.

There's something about losing my dogs this week - Kino almost ran away yesterday during our walk minutes after we left the house cos the leash came free after she successfully pulled the gentle harness off her snout and she ran for her life.

Was so shocked that I just stood there. Somehow a strange calm overcame me. It could have been that I didn't really care if she ran away, or that I was so sure that she would not.

Devised a plan after realising running after her blindly would not have worked. I grabbed Vodka and told Dan to run with me in the other direct, and hook, line and sinker. She followed us and when she was within grabbing distance, I reached out for her collar but she dodged away before I could do anything and ran off again. Dan sped after her, full speed, and managed to tackle her to the floor and leashed her again.

Almost lost her again when we were heading home - was passing the leash over to Dan when it slipped out without any of us grabbing onto it. But luckily, she was rather tired from our jog that she just stood there and Dan stomped on her leash.

A runaway dog and another dog who chokes and suffocates too often for comfort. My weird pair.

On another note, celebrated Jac's birthday at Kushin-bo JP. Food was good! Yummy yummy... although I think Jac will steer clear of Jap food for a while now, esp salmon. ;P

Here's us!

Each of us made a cup of our own concoction for Jac to finish up and here's Dan's ice-cream covered with a hardened layer of chocolate from the chocolate fountain. Poor Jac had to hack through the chocolate to get to the ice-cream.

Here's Bernard's killer wasabi with salmon. Looks harmless but packs a mighty punch!

Left Jac with a reddened face after she finished all 3 slices of salmon spread with wasabi.

Mashed tofu made by Jeremy. Looks gross, smells gross, but the most harmless and healthiest in fact.

Tried to sabo her with a cup of hot tempura sauce lemon tea when she was off to the toilet but clever Jac took a whiff and knew something was up and didn't drink it. But the ever-sporting girl took a sip just for fun to find out what we gave her.

And as requested by Jac, all of us had to complete a stage of DDR with her. I guess we found out most of us don't have much leg-eye coordination, except for Jac the DDR queen!

Happy Birthday jac! Hope you had a great time with us! :)
