I... am contemplating putting myself through another part time course. This time, for three years! I would be... 30 years old by then.

Withered or in my prime? Don't answer that.

The pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong mission. The next intake is in July. I have a bit of time to consider this.

Time + money to gain knowledge and skills in return.

I only live once, I don't want any regrets.
I need to think it through.

I'm am thankful my boyfriend is very punctual.

Ok, i can also say that i am thankful my boyfriend is not a fakie.
I already knew that some people are not true, but friends should accept each other for the most part. No one is without flaws.

小花小毛

  • Jan. 26th, 2012 at 8:40 AM
mo


I just went by East Coast Road, and i remember I sold some baby hamsters there for $3.50 each.

I bugged my dad to get me hamsters when I was in primary school. he brought me to a pet shop at the market near my house. The pet shop has become a film shop now.

I remember looking into a cage and these two tiny white furballs were huddled together in a corner. I was sold.
Don't know how much my dad paid, but we brought them home and i was so happy and thankful.

True story of my first pets, 小花和小毛. I named them after one of my favorite cartoons, 小毛球。






Am i the only who who knows about this cartoon? :\

小花 was the feisty and active one, while 小毛 was the gentleman, with huge testicles.

I've heard stories about hamsters with red eyes being more likely to bite, but both my darlings had red eyes and they never once bit me.

They eventually gave birth to a few babies - I remember looking into the cage and thought the pink little newborns were some meat my dad/gran fed them. Till i saw the meat moving. I  called WeeKee, my classmate, to share the news as she had hamsters too, and i excitedly exclaimed that I had become a grandmother!

I remember thinking if they were siblings though. They would have commited incest.

What broke my heart one day was when they decided to elope. On hindsight, it might have not been so bad. I never saw them die, and i have always remembered them being active furballs and i loved them so much.

These two were the first of my many pets and i remember them the most, tiny though they were in size.

I do miss them sometimes, my darlings.

CNY money

  • Jan. 25th, 2012 at 10:28 PM
mo

Seeing my small stack of ang pow money on my desk makes me feel rich. Hahaha! Looking and touching the physical (germ-filled) money may be better than leaving it in the bank. How much interest do i earn from the bank anyway? A few miserable cents?

I ought to learn from jester who kept his ang pows in his drawer for years. Some were even unopened.
He asked me to help him count his money while he went to play golf one morning last year and I counted a few thousands! Siao bo!

I should have charged an admin fee. Too late, he used them to pay off his car loan and insurance.

But I know I won't be able to resist opening my own red packets (and spending them eventually).

The only ang pow money I have never spent is the one my late grandfather gave me before he passed away.

*
I'm going to feast as much as I fancy till this Sunday, for I am going to have my 2 wisdom tooth removed on Monday and I'm sure it will hurt like mad. God bless me.


PS: I'm secretly very pleased cos my Dad came home & the first thing he did was to flash the new watch I got him and said, "very beautiful" :))

I think so too.

post CNY

  • Jan. 25th, 2012 at 8:15 AM

ok, it's not really the end of CNY, but going back to work ruins everything.

I feel so relunctant to go back to work this morning :((((
my stomach isn't feeling very well; I must have eaten too much.

we didn't have steamboat at home this year as per our tradition as my aunt feels it would tire my granny out - too much preparation work. so we ate at restaurants which I don't really like during the festive season. still.

I earned some money from ang pows, even though I returned an ang pow to each relative (from my mum's side) I received one from. (ok, i only put $20 in each ang pow i returned.)
cos I don't earn much, I can't treat/buy my folks stuff as often as I would like to.

looking at old pictures of my cousins and I growing up, I feel very lucky to have had such a childhood. we weren't well off, but we had enough.

I feel sad when my aunts countdown to their 50th and 60th bday! my aunts have been very kind to me and i will always remember that.

it was my dad's 60th yesterday and i bought him a watch. time is merciless but i hope we can spend whatever we have happy, with full stomachs.

dozing off,
michymich

Let's do something crazy

I miss having roos feed out of my hand.
I miss seagulls eating out of my hand while on the ship & they'll swoop down for tibits.

I remember looking at the mountains in NZ and think, how insignificant I am! How big the world and how small I am!
What are my troubles, what are my woes?
Like a speck of dust, naked to the human eye.

Let's do something crazy!

Nothing to say

Changing bedsheets, mopping the floor, eyebrow threading, waxing, cleaning and a dental visit do not guarantee a happy new year.

Crazy notion

  • Jan. 17th, 2012 at 11:05 AM
invisible
I have been thinking about going on a 1-2 month globe-trekking mission.
I don't know when I will have the chance to do so, given that I am working full time. Who would grant me 1 month off, not to mention 2?

So I'll bid my time. I'll save up what I can, so that I will have the cash when the opportunity arises. 

I want to see the world while I still can.

Upset with myself

Sigh. I forgot about sugi-making with the family. They didn't actually tell me that they were going to make the CNY snacks last Sat - when I met my friends, but I should have guessed.

I saw pictures from my Uncle's photoblog & I felt lousy for not being there :(
