Second day of socialisation
Look at how stuck-up Mong Mong is...
Refuses to be approached by Toby (oh yes, we finally thought of a good name)
Toby is so innocent lorrrr!~
After few hours of chasing each other
Hopping in & out of their cages
Eating food from each other's food bowl
They're resting next to each other...
Their cuteness just melts the gloomy days away
=)

We thought Mong Mong is lonely
Coz it always gives us the lonely look
Plus the fact that guinea pigs are social animals
The more we agree to get Mong Mong a companion

We bought a sheltie boar
We put them together to see if they will socialise
The sheltie keep chasing Mong Mong to play with him
But Mong Mong kept grumbling in anger
Non-stop

Mong Mong came out of the house to roam around the living room
Baby sheltie followed
It seems to be having fun
But Mong Mong was irritated by his follows
& turned around wanting to bite it

Gave a shock to all of us

After a 3 hour's introduction
We had to separate the 2 boars

We concluded that Mong Mong is an anti-social guinea pig
The autistic character of the social animals

Totally weird

p/s: we've yet thought of a name for the new cavy. Mum is being very old-fashion to wanting to call it something related to fortune & wealth like 4D, Wang Lai (旺來), Lai Fa(來發, etc. *rolls eyes* Any suggestions?

Went P. Ubin in the end after much hesitation about the weather
But my gastric was playing against me while on the way
It was just horrible

Despite the pain
DarDar & I cycled the whole island still
Almost fainted while struggling to get up a steep slope near Maman en route Chek Jawa
& my first visit to Ketam bike park

Not that scary as I expected
As in
I'd always thought that Ketam bike park is for professional stunt bikers
But my experience today proved me not

I'd love to go back next week
That place is beautiful




.:


Sigh
Supposedly going P. Ubin for a cycling trip as well as to check out my snails
But the weather isnt cooperating
Looks gloomy & prone to downpour
In fact
NEA website showed that rain did fall over the island

Since low tide is at 1pm+
It's really hard to tell if the rain is gonna affect my observations or not
That is if the rain doesnt return at around that time

=\

My fever fluctuates
& it's killing me
It's been long since I'd last fallen sick
& I cant remember how to take care of myself other than sleeping

DarDar told me to drink more water
& I hate drinking water coz it's tasteless (yes, weird habit)
So I made honey water, chrysanthemum tea with honey, watery porridge & hot water with egg for the morning
& I found out that I shouldnt be eating all these
According to some medical help sites googled online
Ha!

I scooped half bowl of Mango & Passionfruit Haagen-Daz to eat
Hoping it can subside the fever
& drank half glass of orange juice

Geez
I'm so bloated with liquids
The fruity taste lingers in my mouth
Which I believe it's good thing since being sick always make one feel tasteless

Brother is returning home from P. Tekong tonight
& he wishes to eat Botak Jones or pizza
Haha
I think I may have to sacrifice myself for dinner

Just hope I wasnt sick in the first place
& I wondered how I even got it

Hmmmmm...

Went JB this afternoon for Japanese buffet

Everything from the menu was free to order
& dishes include these (sorry for the poor quality coz I forgot to bring my camera!)









'Whacked' for 1.5hours

The food we ordered would cost alot if we were at Sakae Sushi
& it will cost us almost $100 without doubt
BUT
It only costs us RM$33.90 per pax
Which is equivalent to SGD$16+
For all the food we ate!

The baked hotate was bravo
So were the maki
In fact all were just nice lah!

All of us would love to return for another meal one day

Unfortunately
I was back Singapore sick with cold & fever
Probably the air con was too cold during our movies watching 2012
Sigh




.: dimanche, novembre 22, 2009:.


DarDar brought me out today!
After I scolded him & cried till he felt guilty yesterday
& we went to SPCA as we'd planned last week
I think my last visit was 13 years ago

The dogs were so pitiful =(They were barking happily when visitors stood outside their cages

They have 2 huskies in the shelter
Wanted to go play with them so badly
But I'm afraid they will attack me if I enter
& they do not allow the dogs out of their cages
I love husky to bits
Too bad it's not HDB approved
I swear I will get a husky when I have a house
A big house

There are other usual abandoned animals as well
Cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & hamsters



Took our 1st ride on the Circle Line to town
There's no one operating the train!
How swaku I was to know that it works automatically like LRT =p

We checked out Orchard Central
Nothing much to shop, seriously
The only place that fascinated us was the Roof Garden




Went to Takashimaya & saw Mr Bump dancing with his friends
Went to Louis Vuitton @ ION to look for Queenie
& also tempted to buy a pouch or wallet since DarDar said he's gonna give me one
HOHOHOHOHOHO

Had Ding Tai Fung @ Paragon

We bought Jagabee & Jagarico from Isetan too =D
We were so lousy
Walked for only half a day & our legs were wobbly
Cant imagine how we conquered Mount Kinabalu in May 2009 since we couldnt even conquered flat Orchard Road
-_-

Not a bad day today
Given the perfect weather
But it just have to be spoilt by Prof
Always asking me questions that I'm supposed to answer

Sigh

Good days start tomorrow!




.: samedi, novembre 21, 2009:.


I have 2 new members in my house now

Donno why I'm keeping Siamese beta now
Haha
Maybe because it's hardy
& no neeeda eat or change water for few days
Kekeke
Best for lazy fish-keeper
Anyway
I bought them just to place inside water pots to prevent infestation of mosquito larvae

DarDar pissed me off
I foresee lonely Sunday tomorrow
Anyone wanna jio me out?

I am in love with today
Absolutely
The Leonid meteor failed me though
Couldnt see due to thick clouds
& on top of that
I actually fell back asleep after I'd put on my spectacles
LOL

Woke up at 10am
Went for suntan & a short swim
Slightly tanned
Sun was gone 20mins later =(

Went to Old Woodlands Centre
Had lunch
& bought some veggies
& returned home to cook

We invited Lionel & Seh Chin over
Look at our spread!
Stir-fry dou miao with scallop,corn & straw mushroom
Buffalo wings
Beer crab
The full table
The happy people =D
The alcohol!
Had a short mahjong session after the meal
My first time playing
& so was Mong Mong
BWHAHAHAHAHHA
So cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~ *hugz hugz hugz*

It's such a wonderful night
Although it's short
It'd be nice to have such dinner gathering more often =)




.:


Wahaha
Exams are overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Weeeeeeeeeeeee
I shall take a few days break before I start work again

不知不覺 it's nearing December already
In a few days time
It's my birthday
As well as my brother's POP day
I hope he can pass his IPPT

Prof told me that my grant has been approved
The full sum for my proteomics, which cost SGD$10000+ will be awarded soon
Which means I have to prepare my 3-month departure to Hong Kong in January 2010
Hmmmmm....
I'm so gonna miss my DarDar & Mong Mong since I'll be away alone

My friends are all going for holidays!
What am I sitting here on my bed in Singapore?!
I wanna go overseas too!! >_<

Found some photos taken long ago



No significance
Just random
Ha!
I'm so gonna try making that Spicy Chicken dish one day
Love it to bits when I eat at Xian De Lai steamboat

I'm going swimming if the sun's shinning bright tomorrow
=)




.: mardi, novembre 17, 2009:.


Could anyone buy me this?




.:


I think
I seriously need to get back to my original shape
Watching ANTM & seeing how slim they are is making me jealous
Plus the fact I need to take my wedding photos 6 months later
This should push me to achieve my aim

I shall start my exercises next week

Meanwhile
Just let me have a few more sumptious meals before I burnt those fats




.: lundi, novembre 16, 2009:.


Last paper tomorrow
=)
Hope it will go perfect

Cant wait for Wednesday to come
Coz DarDar & I will be whipping up some dishes for our close friends for dinner

Yummy feast awaiting
How can I not get anxious in the midst of revision?




.: dimanche, novembre 15, 2009:.


Sometimes
I may not be the correct person to give opinions on education system
Because I'm still a student
& in the progress in becoming one of the academic staff in the future

It is also hard to not answer questions from the higher-ranked professionals
Especially one who is to supervise & grade you all the time

Some opinions could simply mean feedback
But how positive or negative will you agree to feedback coming out from someone close to you?
Would that person be just plain evil to be back-stabbing others?
Or would that person just being boastful to gain your trust?

I dont know
I hope I do not receive anymore of such feedback questions anymore
It's going against my integrity

Aquaculture paper on Tuesday
That will mark the end of my 2 years of module completion
A short post-exam getaway
& thereafter
Continue with my research
& do abstracts for my upcoming publication
& prepare for my presentation in the World Congress of Malacology in Phuket 2010

I'm so gonna meet all the snails people soon
& I hope to meet G.M Vermeij, the blind ecologist

Yes you read me
Blind

He inspires me
