Shopping Spree...
Last night, I was at Plaza Singapura with my secondary school mates, Shuling, Xiuling and Murali for dinner gathering. We settled ourselves down on a table starting at 8pm. And we got off the table only after 11.30pm! Hehe.. Cos there just so many things to catch up. Imagine we haven't meet one another for 1 year plus. Shuling is still as jovial as ever, Xiuling is still with Simon and planning to get married next year and erm, for Murali, he's a bit quiet, cos maybe it's the first time he joined us, so not yet in the "click". After we left the foodcourt, we saw many happenings in PS. A crowd has gathered at the center stage, waiting for lucky draw. And a lot of shops mainly at the 1st n 2nd floors are still opened. What a good way to attract more shoppers after mid-night. Hehe. So me and the 2 gals decided to have mid-nite mini-shopping spree while we bade farewell to murali.
Reached home nearly 2am, but am a happy girl with 6 pairs of socks and a pink cotton jacket! Hehe..
Happenings
Yeah, my exams are finally over! But all is not well, as I'm busy with my final year thesis. It sucks big time, cos I still haven't come up with anything concrete and my deadline is less than 1 month. I think the main reason is I've been slacking for the past year, with a lot of time depending on my classmate to do and take for granted she'll always be there.
This is WRONG.
Always depend on yourself and not others, you'll rather learn the hard way first, and enjoy your fruits of labour later on, if not, you'll fall terribly and start to blame other people for the things you yourself should have done in the first place. This is a good lesson I've learned. Hai, lucky it's not too late, I'll continue to "pia" very very hard to complete my thesis! Give myself encouragement, reward myself later, work hard, work hard! My mum and my meimei is also giving me a lot of support and concern, so I shall not let them down also.
Oh yah, Wilbur, my manager's puppy came over and stayed at my house for 1 week. A lot of events that have happened...:
1st and 2nd day --- he came and we played with him happily, so happy until I can't finish reading my notes for my last exam paper! Haha.. But Wilbur is sooooooo cute! He's also extremely bubbly and intelligent, only thing is, as a puppy, he'll cry a lot, and his crying is howling, hearing it pains my heart. And he kept on itching and scratching his body and legs all over, my sister brought momo home and momo dare not play with him. My sister asked me to bring him to see the vet for treatment (cos my manager told me he's having schnauzer pimples and in the midst of healing) and checking cos she suspect it's skin diease.
3rd day (after my last paper) --- my mum and I brought him to the animal centre at Sunset Way, he's barking all the way to the vet in the taxi, lucky the uncle never scolded or chase us down, think Wilbur is thinking are we giving him away again, poor boy.. After waiting for half an hour, it's our turn. the vet (Dr. Heng - a very nice lady) diagnosed Wilbur to having contagious skin diease called scabies, which can happen to any breed of doggies, especially for puppies and young doggies. (all about scabies) She told us Wilbur is in the final stage of scabies, which is quite bad. The vet did a skin scrap test to verify the condition of Wilbur before giving him treatment. The medicine she gave is Revolution (to control and kill the mites), which should be applied on Wilbur's neck once every 2 weeks. She told us the itchness should continue for the next 2 to 3 weeks and asked us to be mentally prepared to see him to continue to be very itchy. My mum shed tears for Wilbur many times when she saw how itchy Wilbur gets, he's just a baby but he had to suffer this kind of diease. My sister grumbled about my manager about not taking enough care for him, and going away to Bangkok when he knows that Wilbur is sick. Oh well, for me, I'll just continue to try my best to take good care of Wilbur since I've already promised my manager.
4th to 8th day (my manager touch-down back to sg) --- I've been talking and feeding and cleaning Wilbur up ever since we knew of his skin diease. Even though I have skin allergy am a bit afraid to go near Wilbur, but I still tell myself he's not at fault for the situation he's in. Afterall, he's only 6 months old and still a baby. Plus he's so lovable and cute-looking, I just can't bear to ignore him. So everyday after work, I'll talk to him, feeding him antibiotics and his meal and his teething bone. Now he need to be fed for his food from the palm! Hiaks, hiaks. This shall teach my manager to take more care and attention for him. And everynight, when Wilbur is out to pee pee and put put, I'll clean and sterilise his cage, so that the mites that fell off from his body can never jump back. And so, the last day, my manager came with his son and dau. After giving him instructions and updates about Wilbur's condition, Wilbur is finally going home. He cried as I placed him inside my manager MPV. Maybe he'll miss me? But not for long, cos he'll be back to his permanent home and in good hands of my manager. Anyway, I'll be posting Wilbur's photo up here later. He's sooooo cute!
Get well soon, Wilbur!
On the 6th day, which is a thursday, I'm on leave, as my mum is going to SNEC (Singapore National Eye Centre) to do laser eye operation on her right eye (the same eye she did her cataract operation). My sister and bro-in-law came along too. This is a small day operation, as the patient just need to sit on the seat and the doctor will "blast" the laser on the patient's eye. And my mum is back on her feet the very next day, as there is no usage of anesthetic. We are still a bit worried as the doctor highlighted to us that the other eye (left side) is starting to develop cataract also. She may need to go for operation again next year once the cataract matured on her left eye. Hai, that's why I've been wanting to bring my mum overseas for holiday, cos life is short and unpredictable, while we are healthy and able to walk, we should make use of the time we have and enjoy ourself while we can. Now I'm still persuading my mum to go Fishing at Sibu Island with my manager and colleague during x'mas, but she's still not interested. Lucky she's still interested in the Ipoh/Cameron Highlands Trip, which is postponed to Jan next year as the driver is booked for the whole month. Oh well, we shall see how again. Ah ling asked about going to Tioman island with her in Jan also, planning to bring my mum along also. Hehe. Will confirm with her by the end of the month.
Sidenote: I'll might be shifting to another webblog soon.
What City Do You Belong In?
You Belong in London
A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well.
