Who would steal money from a CAT?!

Well, yes. Who would steal money from a cat? A really fat cat??


HE DID!! So evil right?! But I guess when one is hungry and has no money to buy food, one will resort to all means to satisfy that need. Below is a picture of the unsuspecting cat.



Along comes the down-and-out one that needs some help from his dearest fat cat...




"I am sorry Jonathan. I promise I will return the money to you once I win Toto. Meanwhile, we are still friends right?? I still think you are the best among all the cats. So fat lah~!"

I think Jonathan didn't have much say in this matter. He didn't even try to put up a fight. What a pussy... But well, the 2 of them are the bestest of friends afterall!

Congratulations to Aya

Her convocation was yesterday. Saw all the pictures and yes, I am glad for her that she has OFFICIALLY graduated!! I missed out on her lunch treat though coz I was still stuck in the office.

Mama cooked dinner and it was great!! Loved the crabs lah, YUMMY!! And the sashimi too. Adam ate and ate and ate and ate. He's turning into a cupckae soon. But I know any cook likes to see the food polished off. And KS was there to help eat also, although he didn't eat as much. Or maybe he was just trying to be polite. I don't know.

It was a nice way for Papa to meet Adam I think. Coz KS was there to shift some attention away. Not tt Adam needed helping. He was his usual crappy and charming self. =)

Boys are...

Dumb


Insensitive


Inconsiderate


Unnecessary

He made it worse

I was surviving very well w/o him around. I am still as busy as ever, struggling with tuition, doing fieldwork, organising SP Night stuff and then there is also my GP.

Then he called yesterday at the most unexpected of times. I was waiting in line for my Korean food at the foodcourt in Central when the phone rang.

He said the line was breaking up and he couldn't hear me well but his voice was really clear on my side. It was really a short call, really really short but hearing his voice made me miss him. I had managed to segment him out of my life and push that part into a closet, but his voice just "reminded" me (in a way) that I do miss him.

I guess it is always harder for the one that has been left behind. In many scenarios of seperation, it is always harder for the one that has been left behind. The other who is doing the exploring, discovering, and playing... Not much time left to brood over the absence of someone else isn't it?

But I am glad he went away at this time, coz I am so busy that the time I usually spend with him has been efficiently relegated to other pressing matters. Now, all I have to do is wait for him to come back. =)

Guess what?

I miss him already.

But not in the love-sick way. I just miss him. And he just left yesterday. But he will be back on Sunday.

I miss him and I just keep thinking about how he said he hopes I remember him for the whole week that he is gone. How not to miss his funny antics and unglam actions?

Weekend

The past weekend has been relaxing and fruitful to me. Did many things that I should have done and I had time to relax and rest properly.

Firstly, I didn't club. So I had enough sleep and to rest my body.

Secondly, SP Night stuff finalise everything liao. HENG AH~!

Thirdly, I met up with RAINBOW SISTERS for our overdue reunion. Really missed the girls but we sort of just picked up from where we had left off. It didn't feel awkward or especially emotional. Just felt great to spend time together.

Lastly, I went to the gym on Sunday with Adam and WC. Wah! The Keppel Country Club gym is so WOW!! So many complicated-looking equipments and it was interesting. The shower area also damn shiok lah! So many amenities... Got hair-dryer, lotion, moisturiser... All tt it is short of is conditioner.

Time spent with Adam was short but somehow I really enojyed the time with him. It was meaningful in a way.

We went to the ZOO

Yes, we went to the zoo!!! And Adam found his good friend there... See the resemblance? He looks more freaked out than anything else. The zoo was so crowded that we had to park far far away and walk all the way into the zoo. It was a long walk and it was really hot tt day but the trip was overall enjoyable.

And my sister said I have to take a picture with Ah Meng's statue so I got Adam to take this shot for me. We went to the zoo and took pictures with FAKE ANIMALS... We are weird...

Although we walked until we were so hot and sticky, we still had fun. And yes, we were very thirsty. He didn't complain about the heat, he didn't complain about the long walk in, he didn't complain about the crowd. He even made green apple with yakult when we got home. =)

He is my champion. The next day, he even helped to cook dinner at my house and after dinner, he made the green apple with yakult drink again for my sisters and my mama.

There, this was our parting shot of tt day.

Good mood

After the chaos tt the voicemail system managed to wreck yesterday, today is a relatively good day. And the thought tt I will be out on a proper date again tonight just puts me in a good mood. Haha! It's been a while since we went on a proper date tgt and the fact tt he is "planning" something is really something to look forward to.

We are meeting in TOWN!!!

Forgive me, coz we always end up meeting in the east-side and then we end up just hanging around like old neighbours. Today is a diversion from our usual routine so it makes me really excited.

And on Saturday we are gg to the ZOO!!! So fun-filled lah, this week.

P.S: Limei u do look like HOT BABE in ur makeover photos. Like a SEXY MAMA. haha!!

Reflections

The other day, Limei said reading Adam's dad's blog was really inspirational. For a moment, I was like, "What?!" You girls are reading his blog too?? But tt is besides the point. I have reading through it as well and I find tt his entries are very reflective.

Unlike us, he has led a much longer life and seen more things. He reflects on life and the things that are happening around him. The entry about planning for the rest of his life ahead was poignant and almost nostalgic but at the same time, hopeful and I think he sounded really brave to be facing the uncertainties ahead. After working for so many years and leading a somewhat routine lifestyle, it can be a jarring experience to be plucked out and made to move to a whole new ball game. I mean, the kind of things I reflect on are so much more insignificant and puny compared to his. My life is still so shallow and superficial, my thoughts still very self-centred and I know my future is still unplanned.

I like to think I am carefree and it is true that I don't like to be restrained from doing the things I want to do. But then again, without planning, we can't quite tell what to expect. No one really lives a day by day unless there is nothing in the future to look forward to. We all have certain expectations about how we want our lives to be. Even the most laid-back among us would have planned where the next moolah supply was coming in to continue leading a leisurely lifestyle. We need plans to help us see what we can expect. It is almost a motivation of some sort.

I used to think, "there's still another year before I graduate..." but the truth is, YOU MEAN I ONLY HAVE A YEAR LEFT?!?!?! Time flies really fast so I am really anxious. I haven't given serious thought as to what I want to do after I graduate. Everyone is saying that the first job is very important. At the moment, I have only narrowed it down to PRIVATE SECTOR.

All my plans now are really short term, like what to complete within the week. It's worrying. Isn't it?

Weekends over

I feel a bit more blue this Monday. More than usual. I think it is because I had a really good weekend and my butt is hurting from all the squats. I feel like it's gg to drop off anytime. Bleh!!

And then this crazy woman called to scold me. Really scold me. OMG. And I tried to maintain my angelic voice and the smile on my face. But no. She scolds me. And she wouldn't stop. And finally she hangs the phone on me. Thanks. ARGH!!!

Like I told Lay See after tt, she is fierce and uncooperative. She calls up and just starts scolding. And when she can't pronounce "Four Seasons" (tt's where she's working) properly and I asked her to repeat, she scolds me for being ignorant. I asked her to read the Household ID for me and tells her the rough location of it she tells me she can't find it and she can't read it out. So irritating.

People like this spoils my day with huge success. I hate bad starts like this. I just want to go home and curl up and sleep. Like seriously.

Neverending supply of letters to fold. And my data-entry is becoming a huge backlog thanks to all these letters. I just can't wait for our pay to come in and then, maybe I will feel better about life in general. =)
