Less is more, so i'll keep my rubbish to a minimum for once.


Sky would've been nicer, but it was kinda hazy towards uh.. Punggol that day.


Series of slightly underexposed shots. But I liiike.


This is just... what? Mon and I came across this and it was a mix of oh-wow and what-in-the-fuck emotions.


Shite why is it so dark. Island paradise, my ARSE.


Had to crop this out of the original, so it's a little grainy but at least the moon is prettay clear.

TANKYEW MON for the company. Wouldn't have it any other way :D

a quickie, sorta

Okay I gotta blog fast. Otherwise I lose track and get bored and just close the browser.

THE BEST VALENTINE'S DAY DATE EVER:

Woke up at 5.30am to help Aresha with her Chew Chor Meng Charity Drive up to Chiangmai event. Left at 6.30am, Ma left for school at about that time too. Pa left at 8.15am, and Ash left at 9.30am, but till the bus comes he's usually in his room, either tied or just reading minding his own business on a good day. When we got back at about 9.30ish and settled into getting back to sleep about half an hour later, Aresha knocked persistently on my door and told me she found a pair of her socks on the floor next to her bed.

It looked damp, I didn't wanna touch it. She said it was covered in men's things. THINGS! I only understood after about 3 seconds of her wild gesticulations to her crotch. The prime suspect : JUDITH THE FILIPINO.

So we called her up and asked her wtfbbq. She started to deny everything, how the socks got there, why they were damp, although Aresha was dead certain it was what it was. We asked her to surrender her handphone, so she tried to buy herself some time by making us think it was downstairs when it was actually in her pocket. Her face totally gave it away.

Going through her phone, we found several mushy annoying msges, the kind you receive as forwards between her and a dude called SHAHIM. Then we chanced upon a msg received at 8.34am, 'I'm coming 2 minet'. THE PLOT THICKENS!

After two hours of vigorous interrogation and her perpetual denial we finally get the story from her. She let him in, he went up to my sister's room with my maid behind him and asked her for sex. IN MY SISTER'S ROOM! She apparently turned him down, afterwhich he jerked off and jizzed into a pair of my sister's favourite socks. Ew.

We called in the police, who very proudly told us that there was no case because 1. She consented to him entering the house, and 2. Her modesty wasn't outraged when it happened.

We didn't know no. 2 for sure, so we got someone who could speak Tagalog to ask her since she couldn't understand English that well. She said explicitly that she did feel insulted and outraged, so now we had our case. Or so we thought. We told her NOT to keep changing her story, otherwise we wouldn't be able to charge the Shahim fucker.

Aresha had to bring the maid and the violated socks to the Bedok North Police station at 4.30pm that day itself to see the investigating officer. Aresha left the socks at home, so I double bagged it and passed it to her on my way to work.

I got an angry call from Aresha later, only for her to tell me that the maid now had changed her story yet again, telling the IO that Shahim is her BOYFRIEND. Lord. SO, the case was dropped. We have made it our personal mission to go find the fucker and teach him a lesson, of which we haven't quite discussed as to how we would do that.

Aresha's doing a lot of undercover work with Judith's phone, only to realise that the little twat has several boyfriends that she had invited over on several occasions before. I.. don't know what to think. The stuff in my room, my camera, Aresha's Macbook, Pa's LCD tv and home theatre systems, our PC. It freaks me out to hell and back just thinking about it.

The worst part? Judith is MARRIED. To a PASTOR. With TWO KIDS. I understand you get lonely, but she has shown no sign of having contacted her family at all. When we called her husband to tell him about Judith's little Valetine's Day romp, she called him back afterwards to tell him that my parents were lying coz we were.... get this, jealous.

Phew, that took a bit. Less exciting things to note of late would be.. complementary VIP Passes to the Singapore Airshow this Sunday! Yay! So exciting right. VIP too. Can't wait to take photos!

Also, we finally got Dog microchipped, at the Waringin vet where i'm volunteering of course. Dr Ng usually writes his charges on a little piece of yellow paper and passes it to Aunty Susan (one of the assistants/receptionists), for her to charge whoever brought their pet in, without the customer looking at it. After he vaccinated and microchipped, he wrote the charges down and passed it to Aunty Susan, ordering her to 'hit me with the big bill'. I laughed at this, well coz I knew I'd have to pay alot coz he did so many things in one consultation. It was on Pa's tab anyway.

I walk to the counter all ready to pay when Aunty Susan shoves me out the door. Commotion ensues, more because I was so confused and going 'Eh I haven't pay yet let me pay first la'. She showed me the piece of paper;

Consult - Free
Microchip - Free
Vacc - Free

Just on Tuesday this week I had to throw away some boxes, but then had to attend to a cat next to me so I put the boxes down near the surgery table. After the cat was settled, Dr Ng pointed to the boxes and asked, 'Are you trying to start a collection?'

'Oh shoot no sorry i'll throw them now.'

'No wait hold on ah.'

(he takes the boxes and walks out of the room for awhile, then passes them back to me to throw)

(pointing to one of the boxes) 'Oh I found that on the floor somewhere, but just throw it away lah.'

I look at the empty box and inside was a hongbao with my full name written on it. I nearly cried. I don't know why. I know its a Chinese custom and whatnot, but I was just so grateful for how much he was acknowledging my effort in the clinic. When I left I opened it, and it had $50 inside. Even my parents don't give me that much on Deepavali.

He asks me every week if i've gotten a reply from the last 2 universities. Well just for all 5 of you to know, I haven't. I think they've put my rejection aside first while they settle those they want to accept first. Preparing myself for the worst. Besides, theres always Australia. AND, I don't know if i'll even make the almost-straight-As minimum qualification. OK ok sssh.

What else what else...

Oh i've finally found a group of people I can partay with. Every week in a row these past few weeks i've gone all over the place, from MOS to Zouk to Butterfactory (yuck) to Homeclub (even more yuck) and more. It digs a nice hole in my pocket too. But that aside, i've been hanging out with my Wild Oats girlfriends! Lani, Renie, and Ernie. Yeah I know my name sticks out like an oddball so they've started calling me Rani. Fuck that shit.

Ernie knows too many of my friends from EVERYWHERE. Primary & Secondary school, JC, even people i've met through friends, random friends, it's really terrifying. But she's an awesome girl la. Spent a few hours at her place reading scary stories and listening to the midnight ghost stories radio show on Ria the other night while getting the photos from the A Sides gig and it was all sorts of girly fun.

Ok got more to blog about but I gotta cut it short cause the Wii beckons... Wariowaves is a madass random game.

broke and hungry

Had the strangest dream last night. That all of Channel 5's old shows were coming back, though airing at weird ass times like 2.41am. Aresha and I were ecstatic. I mean shows older than Growing Up, like that sketch show with Kumar but I can't remember the names.

Today I didn't head to the vet coz Willin's bringing everyone to lunch. Oh, and he's also in Cleo's 50 most eligible bachelors. HAHA! I was damn paranoid as to whether I was supposed to come or not, coz Willin made a 'list' according to Mimi and considering that I pissed Mitch off on Saturday night when I called him an asshole, so there was a chance I wasn't on that mysterious list. But anyways, I'm going!

A Level results are out soon. It's so horribly nerve wracking when I start to think about it. Even more so than the O's. I just hate that horrible build up of anxiety where they tell you the statistics THEN announce the people with straight As before releasing the results.

Ok ok. Expect the worst and I won't be disappointed. Because what's done is done. No amount of praying will change my answers, the marks, or the normal distribution curve.

Yesterday at the Boardwalk was fun. Took some alright photos. Forgot to clean the dust off my lens so now I gotta touch up the photos in Photoshop. I'd put up some photos now, but I gotta go shower SO I shall see you when I see you.

only half a million views?

This isn't getting enough love.

how could i forget

I just recalled another anime that I loved as much. GATEKEEPERS! I think it was one of the more overlooked animes back in the day, during the Samurai X period. Come to think of it, it was one of the first few that actually had this kinda style, and now most shows on Animax have followed this cleaner, 3-dimensional style of animation.



It STILL gives me the shivers! GATE-O, OPEN!

I have a feeling i'm starting to embarass myself.

samurai x - the best anime ever

For some reason I just felt like watching the theme songs again. And so I did. I grew up watching this anime, it fuelled my Japan/anime obsession, inspired me to draw, and anytime I see it airing on Animax i'll watch it over anything else. I am now gonna find the complete DVD collection and OVAs. :D

I quite like the theme song of the first season.


This is though, by far, my FAVOURITE.


And of course we can't forget a little Bonnie Pink.


I remember Megumi was one of my favourites... and I thought Aoshi was hot. HAHA. Those were the days. Samurai X date anyone? I sponsor the DVDs. Once I buy them.

i don't do atas parties, thanks.

Hahah. No la I don't mean to sound all bitchy. Just got back from the Red Bull mass bbq party thing at Dempsey, and as much as the food was good, the slanging Singaporeans just make me go eeegh.

Maybe they grew up in Australia or what, I don't know. But there was quite a number of them with really icky accents.

Had an interesting Red Bull cocktail - it had strawberry puree and vodka I think. Tasted a little bit like cough mixture with too much RB, but tastes mostly like jam. That's all I had, and it gave me a headache. I just recovered from a hangover the night before and it didn't quite settle very well.

Couple of nights ago though, was gallivanting around ECP to find a nice place to sit and drink with a friend. Right at the very end of it was a part of the beach hidden by trees, but still had space on the shore to sit. It was like nowhere on the beach i've ever been to before at night, considering I go there pretty often. Was good we had a car to get there, it'd take years to walk to that spot.

So at 2am we settled down to the ulu-ness of the place under the mooonlight. I know it sounds so overly romantic, but all we did was play 5-10 and drink Chivas.

Weird thing is, I had that strange memory lapse I had the week before. Totally no recollection of what happened in the hour that followed the drinking game. Yes, I was drunk, but even then I would at least be aware of what was going on, or would even have the slightest inkling of what happened roughly. Last thing I remember is puking, and next thing I know i've woken up at 9am out of discomfort because my bed was covered in sand.

What.

I don't know either man. I think I fell. Because I have a nasty bruise on my chin too. Hmm.

I detest hangovers. I met Maya for shisha at Arab St and the war raging in my tummy made me so sedate I could hardly be half as chatty as I normally would be.

I have 15 mins till the OC on Star World.

I've been busying myself - started my vet attachment, and now I'm giving tuition too! Tutoring this sec 5 girl in E Math and Phys/Chem. Luckily for me her Physics is alright so I can focus on Chem with her, but she's got a lot of difficulty grasping even the basics. Coz well, she doesn't quite pay attention. I'm not the teaching sort, but these subjects are pretty straightforward to ace.

The attachment's been bledy fun. Cat lovers stop reading here.

I've witnessed a handful of cat abortions already in the past few days of my attachment, even one on the first day I started. After awhile, such things became kinda routine, coz it happens THAT often. And people send in pregnant cats to undergo abortions regardless of how far along the cat is. So far i've only examined one aborted cat fetus, it had no hair and resembled a hamster. It was still breathing! Mr Mohan (the dude who brought the cat in, who also is one of the guys in charge of the Animal Lovers League in Pasir Ris) felt horrible coz fetuses usually die pretty quick once the blood circulation in the uterus has been cut off.

Oh yes, animals have their uteruses removed once sterilized. I had no idea. The things i've learnt in 4 days! Wah.

As the doc does his thing, I get to stand there and watch. Watch the abdomen being cut open, the uterus being taken out - with or without fetuses to be aborted. I have yet to do anything hands-on during surgery except having given one injection. It's mostly observation at this point because I am still very very very new to clinical practice.

Watching animals being sedated and having sedation reversed makes me anxious because the animal could just leap off the operating table in a split second before you realise it.

I've gotten a nice collection of scratches, but it's all in a day's work. I don't mind it at all, cleaning poop and everything. I've actually gotten accustomed to the smell now.

Haven't seen any euthanized animals yet, but a Chauchau with a slip disc that was around on my first and second days was put down because... the owners just didn't want him back. When Boof came in (I christened him the name Boof because his fur is like a boof), he smelt pretty bad, and his eyes were crusty. But he was adorable and had personality. I know it's bad to have an emotional attachment to animals because the possibility of them dying is always there.

2 cats died on Tuesday.

The doc said that some animals don't even wake up from sedation sometimes after something as simple as sterilization. It's completely out of his control though, which makes it all the more sad.

Will update more soon. The OC's on now! :D
