Day 2(30Jun) MACAU – ZHUHAI(CHINA)

I woke abt 8+am,fell back asleep till abt 10+. Washed up & KT & I set off for brunch!

Went to the Wet market near her old place! Nice! I would cook if i stay alone! So much fresh greens & reds!

Passed by this little Suzuki Car!

So cute! So I must take pictures with it!

KT said there are lots of dog /cat lovers! Oh, spotted a rather cute W.C. place dedicated for the doggies! Cool!

This is our Brunch!

Pork & Chicken Chop with Maggie Mee!

Nice market & Streets!

After KT went to work, I took bus to the custom & crossed the ZHUHAI - CHINA(MACAU’s version of JB) myself! Adventure!

Bus ride... similar to older Singapore... the bus seats are vandalised with Liquid paper & markers! Familiar sight! Wuahah!

I am supposed to be a S'porean, who forgot to bring her hear9 aids. Speaks abit Mandarin& mostly English & lip reads! I wanna see how the locals react & what do they tok abt my back when they think I cant hear/understand them.

I am terrible@ bargaining! & Hates it. So I naturally kena ripped off! But nvm, I liked e items.
So I just asked for a price a bit below what I would pay in Singapore, let them earn abit lah!

1st buy: Customised cap w cute cartoon picture. Girl w Sparkl9 eyes, carry9 a cat(was supposed to b a dog! I asked e person to change abit!) RMB$50(~S$11) Giveaway for workmanship!

2nd buy: 4 items @ another shop. Chuiz…. RMB$850 (terribly ripped off!)

3rd: Cut & colored my hair! RMB$180(~S$39)
Rather tired of walking so much… so I decided to rtn bk to MACAU.

I ventured into a eatery, Roast duck rice(+buttocks of cos!) n 1 dimsum basket of 'Phoenix Claws'. Gave chinese tea(usually dun drink,but figured it's gd since e Duck Backside so oily)! Oh, then I realized the locals will use the hot Chinese tea to wash the utensils before eating! Cool! MOP$29(~S$5)! YEY!

Ops! Supposed to use the chinese tea to wash my utensils! I drank most of it!

Went supermkt etc, topo my way bk to KT's Aptm! Cool! Abt 20mins walk frm custom only! Abit longer than my hse to Tampines Central! So convenient! OMG! Upon return, I did my sums & chked my 'Loot'! Ops! Spent too much! FAint!

Havent seen KT for a long while!

She hates taking photos but as usual, gave in to my persistence! Wuahah! Gosh! She is so fair now!!! fAINT!!

Day 1 (29Jun) - SIN - MACAU

My bags are packed & ready to leave! Getting a teeny bit paranoid abt the H1N1 thingy, wonder with the highly published new increase in H1N1 cases in Singapore, the issue here is “Will I be quarantined upon arriving in MACAU since I came from Singapore?”
Not so much of “Will I get quarantined when I returned to Singapore?”

Just 1 backpack, so no problem! Took the direct bus from home! Yay! I am really Leaving!!!

My flight was delayed & also changed gate. Couldn’t really hear the announcement properly cos of the renovation work going on! Weird habit of mine to buy a book enroute to a holiday destination! Excited! Bought Book to read <50facts>,rather mentally heavy stuff to read on a vacation actually. A lot of statistics & facts: for eg. “Landmines klll or maim at least 1 person every hour” – then babble on for 3-6pages on the statistics on what happened, & what should be done & can be done to improve it! Heavy material!

Well, the flight there was quite empty, my whole row was empty. I got ripped off S$6! For Water+Snacks. What happened to 1Xcomplimentary bottle of water?!

This shit cost my S$6! Argh!

Attempted to take Taxi to ! Uncle told me there’s free shuttle just behind of his cab! Haha! So I took shuttle service! I had initially thought that it ends @9pm according to website! I had reached@ 9.30pm instead of 8.50pm!

Venetian! BIG! 1st thing: Like Sistine Chapel in Italy, Rome! Thought of Mr.Tan! He would like it here-Rich Boy's Playground w all e Luxury Watch & Cloth Boutiques!


1st Attempt to shop: FAILED! Cheapo me! Everyting is SUPA EXPENSIVE (i have been warned beforehand already)! So I hold my Fire!

With 1 heavy bagpack(I weighed it at the airport – 5+kgs) + sling bag, I attempted to shopped till 10.30pm! Quick supper! Expensive! Every item is like >S$12! Can drinks @S$2.50! I dun even buy S$2.50 drinks @ foodcourts in SIN! Of cos i'll nt succumb to being ripped off in an ASIAN country!


Anyway, too much sugary stuff-i need plain water! Settled for a MOP$39(~S$8) Prawn dumpling soup noodle! Left & topo to Starbucks. Spent MOP$37(~S$7) Ice Chocolate drink & sat to wait for KT-time now 11.30pm.

KT came @ 1.15am as arranged! Cant believe, FINALLY I get to see her in MACAU!

KT's place better than expected-2bedrm aptm,Aircon in all rms&living,Heater,Fridge,Wash9 machine. Made me envy her independent lifestyle! I wana be an expatriate too! We had abit of girly talk before konking out @3.30am, she has to work tmr lah!

Cute Animal videos!

I thought this is rather cute!! Kekek! I even asked my parents to see this too!!! Wuahaha!

This is the sequel! Damn cute lah!

& This is the ultimate!! SAMSUNG!

You guys are GENIUS!

I really love Scottish folds! Kekek! So cute!

Time to Pack up! I Smell HKG/MACAU!

Finally I settled the important things in the morning!


I was awaken by Creamie's constant alarm! The Creamie-alarm has no snooze nor stop button to hit! Only 1 wake to stop it, Get my bloody ass outta bed! Still trying to train Creamie to be like Smarty Cookie! Cookie would wait for my snooze alarm (he will standby by lying on my stomach), if I dun wake after the 2nd snooze, he will start his Pounding-on-mummy's-chest-function!


So I tried to ignore Creamie for the past mornings... she is a very accurate alarm, 8am... my usually waking up time for work, but I DUN HAVE TO WORK ON SUNDAYS!! Boohoo! Give me my beauty sleep!! So I peek under the pillow, she started to nudge and nose her way into my face! So cute! Kekkek!


After 20mins of high pitch meowing, I really dun have the heart to see her "wail" so sadly.... only after very subtling setting the alarm off, I jump outa bed & give Creamie my most energetic greeting : " HIIIIIiiii CREAMIEE DARLING BABY!!! GoooooooooOOOOD Morning!!!! Say HELLllooo to MUmmmmmmi!" Ok, try to imagine that 2 octave higher than my usual pitch!!


Oh, DId I forget to mention, I get damn grummpy if I dun have enough sleeeep?! But how can I scold my Baby when she merely wanna me to wake (she must be afraid that I will be late for work)! *Pat*Pat*Sayang*Creamie*


Went to the market for BF with Papa.... bought some last min stuff for packing my trip. Always enjoy BF with Papa....
黄Papa, 黄Girl Girl Loves you very much k!


Came back. Bathed for Creamie! She was amazing very well behaved for today's session! =D Kekkek! Did cry abit lah, but alot lesser than usual! Happy!


Quickly prepare to leave the hse to go down to Cathy Hse ADIDAS! With Jordan's help, I got a 50% off for customising a pair of running shoes! Have been wanting to get 1 to improve, experiencing much pain in my left knees n right pelvis/hip joint area...OUCH! No choice! Need to increase the distance slowly in view of the September event!


So, I get:
1) Gait analysis
- mildly flat footed, tends to roll inwards = Overpronate
- That explains the persistent & return of the pain in those area I mentioned! Orh!


2) Custom size for left & right foot
- Beat this! My left foot is smaller & less wide, my right foot size is bigger. So I can get different size for each side! Beat this!!


3) Customise the colour scheme for shoes
- I chose the AdiZero series!
-After fitting in the colour, I realised that mine looks like a product outta United Color of Benetton! Very retro! Colorful!! Wooohooo!!

Abit small but this is the colour scheme , image generated from the Computer System! It will be made in Hongkong (irony cos I am flying there tmr)! & FedEx to Singapore!!! Woooohoooo! See my new shoes in abt 4 weeks time!

Meanwhile, tahan the pain & pray it will go away soon!!!

Thereafter, I quickly went to Plaza Singapura Daiso to get some travel essential!

Back home, I vacuumed & mopped the room! Then I started to do my packing!
vacuum pack is the way to go man!!

Cos for 9 days, I am only gonna bring this backpack!

Guess what is this bag for?!!!
*Cross my fingers they dun ask me to take its contents out!!

Creamie is very curious abt the vaccum pack!

She tried to claw at it! OMG!!

Paws off Creamie! Else it cant be vacuum liao!!

BTW, all the clothes I am bringing is in this vacuum pack...

Less the Ahemmm.... you know.... those stuff in the green drawstring bag...

Should be enough lah hor!! kekekek! BUY BUY BUY MORE!!!

Time to rest!!! Last minute checks!

List of things to buy - Checked!

Time to check in -.....? Errrm... what time is my flight again? Terminal 1 ah?....

Uhhhmmmmmmm.... HKG & MACAU.... I can smell u!!!

Let Wicked People Be Abused!!

I received a missed-call from Raymond (Cat Volunteer) at about 6+pm today...

Cos he called me the day before at about the same timing, just to check on how Creamie & I are doing (so nice of him =) ), I didnt suspect anything.

What rude shock I got when i returned his called. He asked if I want the Bad news or the worse news... I asked for the worse news... but before he could continue, I told him that if Ginger Kitten & mummy kimberly were adopted together (as per Penny's wish), it's not a worse news at all (although it would mean that I wouldnt get Ginger Kitten), I would still be very happy that both Mummy & son could be loved by some1 else! It would mean to ease Penny's burden as well!

But but.... to my surprise, Raymond told me that 2 young guys (abt mid 20s) did came by Penny's. Told Penny that they would like to adopt both Kimberly n Kitten. Penny, only too happy, of course agreed! They "borrowed" a cat carrier from Penny, gave their address somewhere in North West of Singapore, Penny was supposed to collect back the Carrier later.

It turned out to be a scam! Raymond was notified by Penny abt what happened! Call it the Volunteer's instinct or whatever, when Raymond n Penny called back the hp number they gave, the party realising it was Penny who called, Slammed down on the phone. Repeated calls were to avail as they had off their Hp. The address given turned out to be a fake address as well!!
OMG!! Absurd!!! Crazy! Wicked People!

Raymond & Penny were desperate! Raymond called me to tell me the WORST news! They both feared for the safety of Kimberly & Kitten... OMG!! Raymond, who have wealth of experience volunteering and rehoming cats expressed his frustration of going to the authorities (namly Police), who will only tell him to refer to the SPCA, which may not even take the case of investigation... bah...bah.... bah.... Raymond knows too well! Banking on his knowledge of Singapore's very "STRAIGHT" laws, he decided to approach the whole case from the angle of CHEATING.... cheating to return the borrow Carrier and failure to do so (as provided a fictious address n refused to be contacted).

It worked magic!! The police decided to track them down using the HP number provided, through the Service Provider's registry, they tracked the wicked people down! They promised to return the cats & carrier to the NPP by 8pm.

I got the update from Raymond at 1038pm,
"Confirmed - both kimberly and Sunkist back n Safe! =) "

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Honestly speaking, though I know i would be rather disappointed if I don't get to adopt Sunkist (Kitten). It was kinda Love at the 1st Sight! The whole process of being screened as a Adopter and me screening the foster (yes, I turned down the opportunity to adopt a few kittens cos I think the environment that the foster provided is not optimal. I was concerned with their future health etc. Yet I understand that their resources are limited...).

Raymond suggested that i give a name to the Ginger Kitten (if I get to adopt him).
His name shall be: SUNKIST NG OR-LING!!!

I was contemplating between PUMPKIN, SUNSHINE. Decided to follow the theme of Food!!
Kekekek!
or... maybe.... just maybe... SUNSHINE NG YANG GUANG?

For now, I am just very thankful that both Mummy & Son are safely back with Penny!
Pheww.... these two have enough close shave with their lives... I recently discovered this:

So poor thing... Actually I think Kimberly's temperament is great... she's a young mummy, probably similar or a little older than Creamie only... she has a sweet innocent temperament...
Pity I cant take both of them in...

Read: More about Sunkist's plight here.

Read: More about Kimberly's plight here. & here =(.

Pray Pray, Please let them both find good homes! All the animals out there who are in search of Love & Care - may they be in His arms safely...

Why I needed to be alone....

I am sorry I had to get away...

But please...please understand...
I hate for some1 to have to see me in my most vulnerable state...
Cos it hurts me to see my love one in this state too...
it's not a pretty sight... I dun wanna anyone to see me like that...
Especially not someone close like you...

Yet you saw it all...You were there...
saw me sobbing uncontrollably at night...
saw me eyes red when i came out from the shower...
saw my tears well up everything I think abt him...
you were there... I wanted to run away, but you held on to me...
Refused to let me go and be wolfed down by my misery...
The brave front I put up... for my family, for my creamie...
you saw right through me...

Please let me go... let me be in solitary...
Let me wallop myself up for what had happened...
Permit me to flood the gate of my tears...
Allow me to be in my own heart pain...

I may laugh when in company of others...
I may seem to function normally at work...
I may on the face of it behave customarily...
That's cos I can face others who havent seen nor know the true me...
They know me not the way you do...
You have known, the defenseless part of me...

Pardon me for my self-centeredness...
It's not that I do not know nor feel...
Please, I am Sory i seemed to ignored your pain too...
I simply am jaded, too jaded to offered you my weighted shoulders...

I will be back, soon...
Thank you my friend... =D

Have to move on...spread the L-O-V-E!

It took me 3 days to finally garner the courage to call someone from the Cats Welfare Society website for a cat put up for adoption...

very tough 3 days.... I cant help but put the blame on myself for the death of Cookie...
I do not know if I am ready for another Cat... to give my heart away... when 1 part had died off...
But seeing Creamie mopping around the room everyday is just too painful... still I hesitated...

When I finally decided to call... the owner decided not to give it up cos her son cant bear to... haiz... the cat was very similar to cookie in terms of colour, temperament, and even sleeping posture...

So for the next few days I was researching on how to integrate different cats, of different age, gender, temperament etc....

In fact, a Ginger cat caught my eyes... Mei was really kind to go with me to the viewing at Yishun... it was lovely! Mother & son... but the fostered wanted to give away the 2 together... they have been through alot & she couldnt bear to separate them....

She also cautioned me that Creamie may be alittle too active for a 2mths old kitten... got me very worried & I had to ask Cat Welfare Volunteer Raymond to help gauge if Creamie is too active for a 10 mths old female..... he actually told me that Creamie is vey smart (She showed off her FETCHING Skills to Raymond! kekek!) , that her temperament is very good & independent... will do fine with a young 2mths.... phew!!

So he will go convince the Foster.... I will wait till I get back from HKG/MACAU before final decision...

To end off the whole thing, Raymond gave me some very good pointers on kitty care... & for the past week, I finally feel so much better to hear this from him:

"Soya, I know it's difficult for you to lose your Cookie that way... but dun beat yourself up for it... think of what you can do to prevent future mishaps. I can tell that you are a good mummy... trust me, I have beening volunteer work for years & looking at the condition of ur hse n Creamie, I want you to know that you have done a fantastic job... Creamie obviously adores you as her Mummy, she is happy to be under your care, healthy and well mannered... you have provided them with the best you can... let's move on & we can find you another cat, so that your abundance love can be shared!"

My tears welled up but I refused shed them... for the past week, this was the most comforting words I have heard...

I am reposting this... Check it out...=D

Check this out!
Cutey cartoon

The ending is especially sweeeeet.... =D
I wonder how many of us have been the kitty, avoiding it all... or the rabbit... chasing love unconditionally...
it only takes 1 magic moment to discover... all is possible... we only have to want it... what do we really look for in love?

Like my previous entry, article from Adrian Tan:
"Modern society is anti-love. We've taken a microscope to everyone to bring out their flaws and shortcomings. It far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise. Rejection requires only one reason. Love requires complete acceptance. It is hard work - the only kind of work that I find palatable.Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the truth worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human.Loving is good for the soul.Loving someone is therefore very important, and it is also important to choose the right person. Despite popular culture, love doesn't happen by chance, at first sight, across a crowded dance floor. It grows slowly, sinking roots first before branching and blossoming. It is not a silly weed, but a mighty tree that weathers every storm.You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated. You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you."

Can we be that Kitty or Bunny? Accepting Love the way it is... the way it comes to us, or the way we wish to pursue it? T he last part has an 爱屋及乌 feeling... awwwwww..... bleah but so sweeet and heart warming.... it takes too little to fall in love, but to stay in love, it takes so much much much more....are u up to it? =D

Now, this is only Part 1....

Here's Part 2...

Part 3...

& Part 4!

Cant wait for Step 5.... Haiz.....

What a wonderful Sunday.... I have this warmth in my heart when I saw the clip....awwwwww.... =)

13 June 2009 Cutesy Love Step 5:

Mummy & Creamie misses Cookie...loads

My Creamie has been acting weird recently...

1) She eats only with my company... even when I know she is really hungry, if I walk away - she will stop eating... she used to have to eat quickly else cookie will finish her share too....

2) She loiters around the spots that Cookie used to hang out / hide.... she will peek into hidding corners... look around.... when I shake the bell on Cookie's collar, she will get all perked up and start looking around here and there.... then looked at me in the most puzzled manner, seemingly asking:"Mummy, where is Ge Ge Cookie? Where did he hide? I dun wanna play hide N seek anymore! I wanna cuddle up with him... can u ask him to come out & play?"
*Ok, I know I invented the thoughts, but when u see her, you would have thought she's thinking that too...

3) She wanna alot of my attention... she "demands" to play FETCH with me.... she will come biting the rubba band in her mouth, drop in on my laptop, and use her head to nudge on my arm/hand.... she wants me to "shoot" the rubba band for her to fetch.... if I ignore her, she will "MEOW" at me loudly! She will repeatedly play fetch for abt 15-20mins, very long for her usually short attention span...

4) Cat Welfare Foster/Volunteer Raymond came over the other night, he could tell that she is sad and missing Cookie... haiz... cos it was at abt 8+9pm, the time when I usually get home and the time when she will start to Look for Cookie (he will come out from his hiding place to greet me)....

Haiz....

One of the rare moments to catch Creamie sleeping

so.... relaxed... so.... unguarded...

I brought Cookie home...

Mummy misses you Cookie Boy...

我一个人就好...

我想...我一个人就好...-----------刘力扬 - 一个人就好（《爱就宅一起》插曲）作词/作曲：徐旻铃 编曲：郑楠

街 挤满了欢笑
太不适合 眼泪凑热闹
快跑 快寻找 无人的转角
不优雅时候 一个人最好

爱 说退就退潮
我松开手 回忆却没放掉
未来 不来了 地球 继续绕
躲回温暖的梦 我一个人就好

为什麽 越相信谁能依靠
越换来 又一次灵魂寂寥
有没有永远 再不会让心绝望的解药
如果说 越踏出世界一脚
越不能 保留住天真微笑
那从今以后 我一个人过 就很好

心 很平静地跳
只是寂寞 潜伏像海啸
突然某一秒 偷袭我眼角
眼泪自己擦掉 我一个人很好

为什麽 越相信谁能依靠
越换来 又一次灵魂寂寥
有没有永远 再不会让心绝望的解药
如果说 越踏出世界一脚
越不能 保留住天真微笑
那从今以后 我一个人过 就很好

Sms from BroXiong...

My eldest brother, Xiong, came back from KL last night and came over to our house to pick up his domestic helper.

I had to break the news to him about Cookie, I feel responsible cos Xiong was the one who went with me to Meow/Adrian's house for viewing, he was with me when I first set eyes on lovely Cookie & Creamie & decided to bring them home with us.

When I explained to him what happened, he went on to try to slide open the window. He confirmed that it is rather difficult & heavy for a cat to be able to do that...I still cant believe Cookie is gone.

--------

At night, BroXiong msged me & we exchanged some smses:

"Yo Sis.Hope u r feeling better now. Ren Si Bu Ne Fu Sheng, Mai Si also the same. This is something non want it to happen. I guess it had paid the price of freedom. Or could it be paying for curiosity. Neither will bring it back to life. Besides, it had already enjoyed nine months of your abundant shower of love n care. God Blesses..."

"Thk u bro. Jus nw when I see u, I felt like hugging u n cry out. i cant cos I dun wanna scare Garren n papa. Cookie gone to be God's helper, make Him laugh, shower Him with the famous-cookie-rubba-rubba. God will bless him. Thank u for loving him n being with me. .."

"Ok. Will lend u my shoulders for u to cry on. But not so soon, if not will be soaking wet. That's y I chao so fast ma. Haha... Dont'think so much. Just learnt from Church camp, there may be animals in the new creation. As long as you remain in Christ n he in you, you will meet again. Mayb it went up to keep Yi Yi (Auntie Sammi)company 1st n Yi yi is taking care of it. Must be like that."

"Must be... =) Thanks man, feel better now knowing Yi yi will love him e way I do..."
------

I don't remb my Bro Xiong to be one who so expressive, esp with our brother sister relationship. We are never the kind who hang during birthdays, xmases or even at the demise of our love ones... but for the past days, it was his smses that finally make me feel a teeny bit better...

I finally have some space alone to cry out aloud... express my agony... I finally had the opprty to explain to Creamie what happened to her Ge ge Cookie...

-------

Creamie showed some shows of disorientation last night when we were alone in the room... she dug through the storage container under the TV... she peeked into the carrier... she circled my bed, lingered for a long time looking under where my pillows... she was looking for Cookie, these were all his favourite spots. Looking puzzled, she finally settled down in the dark staring at the famous "Prince Cookie's Throne sofa seat", seemingly keep watch just in case Cookie decides to sneak up for his snooze.

I find my head having lotsa space on my pillow, Cookie used to plow himself right behind my head when I sleep, or on the pillow beside the one I am sleeping on. I find myself putting my hands out to wanna touch him at the Throne Seat, where he so loved to sleep in the most awkward positions...

I cleaned my room yesterday... tearing away wiping all the stain marks that Cookie left on the sliding door cupboards... he has a way of sliding them open even when I attempted to past velcro on them... I havent the heart to throw our the Ikea boxes he bite thru yet, I never quite had the oppty to catch him at it so I havent really punished him for this destructive act... but suddenly I wish he was around to chew these boxes... I suddenly wouldnt mind going all the way to ikea to buy new ones...

I suddenly wished I havent force cleaned his ears the last afternoon we spent together... he hated it but I had to do it as his get dirty quite easily & I had to do it every week... I suddenly wished I havent spent time reading papers in the morning- I could have played with him when he was trying to hide under my papers playing PeekaBoo... at least I took some photos...



I wished Cookie is still around... Cookie must be manja-ing with Auntie Sammi in Heaven...I havent dreamt of her since she passed on, I always wonder if Heaven is too pretty & fun for her to come into my dream to visit me...

Will I dream of Cookie?
Will the temptation of endless supply of Kitty Can food be too much for Cookie to resist?

In Loving Memories of Cookie...

Cookie was a real tyrant... he
-chewed up all my ikea cardboard storage boxes,
-chewed my hp charger wire into 2 pieces!
-made me velcro all my sliding cupboards (somehow he still manages to open them)!
-gave me rubba lovingly (made all my pants furry like him)!
-finished all the food (including Creamie's)!
-Slept on my laptop, beside my laptop,& ON my laptop!
-Of course the habit of plogging himself at the exact spot I am reading on the newspaper!

Nevertheless, Cookie had been a real joy to have for the past 9mths...
Unconditional love he gave me & all who encountered him...

There are many things that I asked myself,
-Was I too careless that I failed to notice that he had enormous strength to slide open the window (even with 3 fingers, I have problem sliding it open... I tested and tested repeated last night)...I dun understand how he did it!
-Was I too late to send him to the hospital,
-Was it my fault....?

I just couldnt register... the vet had to tell me he is gone... twice, thrice... i fail to register that in my brain... i couldnt think straight... i still cant...

Creamie didnt show any shows of sadness last night.... but this morning, she started to become more sticky to me, asking for rubba, following me around the house... stared into the blank... she lost her friend, her play mate, he r brother... they have never been separated since birth... they were found together... fostered by Meow/Adrian together, adopted by me together... even when I punish 1 of them (locked up in the carrier), the other will cry nonstop, lying next to the carrier...

I duno how creamie will take it... I duno how I will take it... but I know I have to try...

I kept dreaming the scene last night, it kept painting... & worst, I imagined/dreamt that creamie followed suit the same outcome... It's difficult to not think abt it for the time being...

But I have to try... keep trying...

My darling Prince Cookie, may you bring God the same joy u brought me...
Mummy loves you & always will... =I

*Cookie went to God's home on 12 Jun 2009, approx 2145H.

S-O-S @ St.James!

Since I have a new bottle of Hennessy (unopened!) at St.James, i have had endless night of it in my dreams.. beckoning me to join it for a dance or 2, or to belt out a few K-songs!

Nope, me not a alcoholic, just enjoy a few good drinks with friends... letting our short hair down!

=D

So with the "mobilisation" in place... we launched OPERATION S-O-S (Save-Old-Soya)!

Our TF (Task Force) includes:

- CTG (Commander-Task-Group): Moi!!!

- CTG Co-ordinator: Eeleen

- Task Members: Weilin, Jordan, Stella, Vivy.

Comrades in hand!

Here's the evidence of our OPERATION S-O-S!

A not too bad achievement for e brand new bottle!

Frankly, this is the 1st time I reached home so early from a night of drinking.... 1+ am!!! Some record!!! Hahahah!

My furKids never fail to make me laugh! Hahah!

Awww.... I simply love this!!!

This is what I call GOOD ADVERTISEMENT!

Ok, I confess... the word attracts my attention.... alot.... cos I love Pussies!
What can I say! I have 2 at home!! Wuahaha!

Expectations.... commitments.... I wanna run away!

Too many, oh too many things on my mind of late...

Expectations, so many demands taking toil on me...

Commitments, I so need to escape & be un-griped...

It seemed that I'll break away when under these...

Maybe I just aint good with handling obligations...

Maybe I need to shift aside when some1 gets close...

Maybe I would like to not be too dependent...

Or maybe I am just thinking too much...oh, way too much....

Is it my duty, to be accountable to others except meself?

Is it my responsibility, to ensure things are always proper & right?

Is it fair to undertake all these on my already droopy shoulders?

Then why is it my (*&)(^*$ Business to care!

Oh, F**K off! Give me a break! Let me be, just let me be!!

I wanna get out of here! Let me O-U-T!

I was attached to Tamp Branch today & managed to leave work on time at 5pm, even when I went to Tamp1 to get something, I still reached home by 6pm! YAHOO!
So I decided to bake this recipe since I got the ingredients ready since Sunday!

Before Bake!

After Bake!

Frankly, I think these are the best bakes I have had... they really taste quite yummy to me & overall presentation, moisture, texture everything is good.... I give it 8.5 outa 10! Rather high points & honestly, I couldnt stop at just 1... the moisture chocolate taste & nutty texture just calls out to me!! OMG! I am crazy & insanely NOT SHY to praise my own bakes! hahah!

Anyway... I shall make them again soon for those who missed my "Ultimate White & Dark Chocolate Baileys with Hazel Nuts & Almond Flakes!"
