Time Still Stands

Moving On

2009-01-04T10:28:00.000-08:00

Its been ages I last left a post here. Been through alot of dramatic scenes recently in life. Lost somethings and gained somethings as well.

Im glad you moved on as well......

Its time I moved on as well.....

I guess I cant be that child I used to be....

I need to move on

2008-07-06T20:45:00.000-07:00

Back from Taiwan, really enjoyed my trip this time. Brought Jansen to visit my relatives there, hope he enjoyed the trip as well. Took a boat out to the Pacific Ocean and we saw dolphins, bottled nose and spinner dolphins to be exact. I managed to get away from reality for a while and I hope I've recovered and am able to start school again and study, I've yet to find my motivation yet but soon I guess.

So now I just have some small goals like life on a yearly basis, first on the list is to save up and depart for Taiwan again to celebrate Christmas with my family there, yes its something mundane and ordinary but I have to start from sqaure one again.

Well 2nd upper or first class honours, I think that will take time.

You said 'Let make this reality perfect', I hope you keep your words.

Insecurity

2008-04-02T20:17:00.000-07:00

I hate it when this kicks in. And I though I was anesthetized, apparently not. I've lost my routine, getting it back is harder than what I thought it would be. Everything around me seems to be decaying. What do I do? I simply scamper away. And just as I thought that I was being thrown into limbo last year, I was wrong, I've yet to see the blue blazes of it.

I hate you yet I love you, we were from distinguished family since ages back and you just have to destroy EVERYTHING! All you think about is about you you and you. For you own dreams, you destroyed every single one of ours. I wish whatever you invested your millions will be your downfall!

Speechless

2008-03-06T00:51:00.000-08:00

Im mute, why? I went for an operation to remove all four of my wisdom teeth and thank goodness I was under G.A. If not I'll be boiling with tears but I did cry after I woke up as it HURTS! I like the the surgeon though, she's the Director of the National Dental Center and with that I got a Class A ward =D

Im recovering well now but Im grounded at home as my dearest Mother doesn't want me running around. But its ok, I have GRANADO ESPADA! You have no idea how much I've spent on that online game already. Anyway I wanted to take pictures of my wisdom teeth, but well its really disgusting so I guess i shall not or maybe next time.

Well its off to the world of Granado Espada now...

Simplicity

2008-02-14T20:10:00.000-08:00

I was at the dentist when Jansen messaged me saying that he wasn't feeling that well. So I canceled my resevation at Shin Kushiya and decided to cook for Valentine's. I haven't cooked for humans for months!

Jansen wanted to eat Sukiyaki, also known as Gyu-nabe in the Edo Era, so Sukiyaki it is. Its a relatively simply dish. The main ingredient is simply beef. Raw egg is used in this dish as a light dipping sauce and a bowl of steam rice rounds out this meal. I didn't cook rice though, we're not much of a rice eater. Vegetables were supposed to be included BUT Jansen doesn't really like his greens. Im rather thankful to have a Japanese Mother (she was born in Taiwan though), or else I won't know how to cook. She taught me culinary skills but solely on Japanese food. I can't cook chinese food though.

Our little girl had her share of Valentine's Day dinner. I cooked steamed Salmon with egg, carrots and broccoli for her.

Ater dinner, we went back to the room and we got glued to the monitors. We played Granado Espada till 12 midnight -_-. I can't believe Im actually addicted to gaming.

Anyway, I need to go for an operation for my wisdom tooth, sighs I have two of them. My dentist calls them 'time bombs'. I want my friend's father to do it for me, he's an Orthodontist. I feel safe this way; someone I know is going to perform the surgery for me. Well now I just need to wait...Im not looking forward to it though.

Valentine's Day

2008-02-13T20:02:00.000-08:00

Something to share for those who are interested. Its February 14 today, many people know that today is Valentine's Day. Majority would think that it a day for couples or a day to love your partner even more. Do you know the history of this day or what is this day actually about? Many of you wouldn't bother but Im still going to put it down.

There are varying reasons regarding the origins of Valentine's Day, however most experts state that it originated from St Valentine, a Roman who was put to death for his devotion to Christianity. Thus he died on February 14, 269 A.D., it was the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. It is also said that St Valentine left a farewell note to the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it 'From Your Valentine'. In 469 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor St Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St Valentine became the patron saint of lovers.

Jansen and I exchanged our girfts yesterday.

For Me to Him

From Him to Me

I bought him a phone because he needs a non camera phone to work and his current non camera phone is really faulty. He bought me a camera because a current Sony T50 vibrates everytime I try to take a photo and I lost the warranty. So I got him a Samsung F200 and he got me a Sony T70. We really think alike. Haha.

Im currently waiting for him to come home now and its off to dinner at Shin Kushiya. I'll upload pictures later, now I have to visit the dentist for my half-yearly check-up.

Lastly, Happy Valentine's Day to all.

One more thing, I GOT MYSELF ADDICTED TO GRANADO ESPADA. OMG. Sighs Jansen got me addicted to it!!! And I've spent like quite alot of money on that online game already!!! But its fun. =) At least now I can accompany him during gaming sessions at home and not just sit there and stone. Now there's more to do together.

Her New Collar

2008-02-10T22:50:00.000-08:00

The above collar is for my dearest Jannie. She grew out her Hamish Mcbeth one already. So we decided to get her a good one that will last her through for 14 years. Its from Coach, pretty isn't it? Its a gift from her Daddy.

Kaka and Jannie Day 2

2008-02-08T09:29:00.000-08:00

The two devils woke up at 4am this morning to play. Jansen and I woke up as well due to the Jannie's growl. Jannie was a little grumpy today, my poor baby my be really exhausted but she had her share of fun. Angel and Benny came to pick Kaka up at 4 plus in the afternoon. Kaka was overjoyed. Jannie was somehow overprotective though, whenever Kaka went near Jansen for some attention, she'll growl and simply stand infront of Jansen. She must be saying, 'Daddy is MINE.' -_-. Anyway we loved the 2 days 1 night with Kaka. Im sure Jannie did too to an extent lol.

To end off, that was my favourite picture today, the two little imps were dozing off in the afternoon.

P.S. Angel!!! Kaka is so adorable!!! I'd love to have him over again. Jansen said i can like open a pet day care soon LOL. And ask Benny not to be so shy!!! He is welcome to join Jansen in gaming -_- since one is glued to his PSP and the other to his desktop.

Kaka and Jannie Day 1

2008-02-07T08:14:00.000-08:00

My Niece Alouise and the two Westies

Nap Time

Dinner: Steamed Salmon and Vegetables with Stir-Fried Beef Tenderloin

They loved it

Chomp Chomp Chomp...

Bedtime

Kaka came over for Chinese New Year as Angel didn't want to leave him home alone while she goes visiting, so I volunteered to babysit Kaka for the first and second day of New Years. However, Jansen and I thought that it was better it Kaka slept over at our place for the first night rather than poor Angel travelling to and fro twice. So its Day 1 and the two little snowballs and fast asleep now after a day of non stop fun. You should see when both lil imps start to play, one can really sit and watch for hours. Anywaay, Angel is coming to pick Kaka before 6pm tomorrow. I bet Kaka misses his Mummy and Daddy dearly, but at least he now has Jannie to keep him company.

Daddy's 57th Birthday

2008-02-05T07:53:00.001-08:00

My Father turns 57 today, I bought him a Calvin Klein Polo this year. I love the material and the colour, something calm, it suits a retired man like him. I had Daddy issues with him last year but Im learning to have a bigger heart to forgive him, so I hope this year it would be a much better year for the both of us. Besides, for the past 20 years, my Father gave me anything and everything I want and need.

Daddy wasn't suppose to come back to Singapore though, he was suppose to stay in Manila to do his stuff but because my Granny fractured her hip and had a hip replacement, they had to come back to Singapore. In addition, she was due for her hospital checkup. And for those who are curious, my Father gave up his Singapore citizenship and migrated to the Philippines. So basically Im rather or actually I am alone in Singaore. I have no relatives here either.

Anyway after dinner at the Mouth Restaurant, Jansen and I headed to the streets of Chinatown to join the crowd. As always and expected, human traffic. But we just wanted to experience the same old familiar atmosphere of Chinese New Year. I felt contented. The only thing was, I was a little tired as I was giving tuition earlier in the day, trust me, teaching a Primary 1 is NOT EASY. I didn't get to eat my glutinous rice balls though. Jansen said we could go back tomorrow and join the countdown and I hope I can eat my rice balls. Well somehow I can't wait for Chinese New Year, Im going to babysit Angel's westie, Kaka and as usual I'll head over to Jansen's relative's place and also my Mother's friend's place on her behalf, since my dearest Mother is suffering in the cold in Tokyo. Its like 2 degrees Celsius over there. I hope to break thrend for my Chinese New Year, last time, Chinese New Year for me was CLUBBING, MOS MOS MOS MOS MOS. It was fun but I think I would like to relax this year.

My Little Devil

2008-02-03T04:37:00.000-08:00

I did not dye my dog pink, my dearest Jannie did this to herself while I was out buying dinner. How did she do it? She chewed on my pink pen and taadaa!!! Now I'll have to bathe her again...

Look at her innocent face, thinking that she can get away with it...

Chinese New Year

2008-02-02T06:32:00.000-08:00

Chinese New Year is coming and I haven't done much preparations. My dearest mother flew off to Japan today for a business trip. My poor mother has been dreading this day for weeks and finally she's at Changi Airport waiting for her departure, this means Chinese New Year without Mummy. Sighs, I miss her dearly.

I need two sets of new clothes as Im going to Jansen's relatives' place for the New Year. So far I bought two skinny jeans from Pull and Bear, one which i cannot wear for Chinese New Year because its black and one shirt from TopShop. I have a reserved vest at TopShop which I have to collect tomorrow and maybe i'll get this dark green jacket as well from there. My dearest Jansen bought only one T-Shirt from Pull and Bear and he spent the rest of his money on a new motherboard which cost him 600 and another cooler. My beloved boyfriend is such a gadget lover. -_-

I have an appointment with my hair stylist on Monday to get my hair done and Im really glad that I met Wendy 7 years ago or else I have to pay her $75 just for a hair cut!!! I get special rates from her =) I love her so much, she's the sweetest hair stylist one can ever find, she actually rushed to the hotel where I was attending some wedding to pass me a shawl as dearest Jansen tore my dress that night. I simply love her so so much. I envy a friend of mine who gets everything free in Reds just because her cousin owns Reds!!! Haha but still i wouldn't trade Wendy for any other hair stylist =)

I also need to get my underarms waxed and I also need to go for browgraphy, after that I think i'll be all ready for the occasion.

Im also planning Jansen's and my best friend's birthday event. They both have the same birthdays, isn't that sweet? Danica and I would have to meet the Event Manager at OBar on the 19th of Feb. Sighs and each of us have to spend at least 5k each but somehow we think its worth it. Its her 21st and my Jansen's 23rd. We going to make it one hell of a blast.

Valentine's and Anniversary

2008-01-28T06:03:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day is coming and so is our Anniversary. I've decided to break down Jansen's birthday plans and put some of the ideas into the events mentioned above.

So i booked a Glazzhaus room at the Gallery Hotel for our Anniversary and seats for high tea at the Rose Varenda. As for Valentine's day, I just made reservations at Shin Kushiya for Valentine's.

Now here is the problem.... I want to get the F200 for Jansen but should it be an Anniversary present or a Valentine's one? I want to get him the phone asap as he really needs a non camera phone due to his job constraints. His current non camera phone is really wearing out. So if i get him the phone for Valentine's, what am I going to give him for our Anniversary?

Valentine's...mm, brings back memories....I'll not going to mention it here though...

A Second West Highland White Terrier

2008-01-23T05:46:00.000-08:00

IM GETTING A SECOND

WEST HIGHLAND WHITE TERRIER!!!

I feel so happy!!! Our baby boy will most likely be introduced after Chinese New Year and he's Australian too!!! We decided to get another Westie from the same country as where Jannie came from. Im so EXCITED!!!

I hope Jannie will be happy as well, it'll be her husband for life. I hope he's handsome too. I simply can't wait. The troublesome thing, I have to train him all from the start, i hope he's a fast learner just like my beloved Jannie. Well, haha IM EXCITED!

SKC Inaugural FCI CACIB Show

2008-01-20T02:11:00.000-08:00

Headed down to the Singapore Expo today. There was a SKC Dog Show being held over there. The ambience was really different from what i could remember, the last time i attended a dog show was hmm, lets see, 13 years ago? I participated in some junior competition with my late Westie, it was held in the old World Trade Centre, if i could remember, it was much bigger. But nonetheless i had my fair share of fun. Met Michele and Macey, her beloved 5K plus pedigree husky -_-. It was Macey's first time competing. Met Nicole, her hubby and Skippy and then Reina, Matthew and Muffyne before i left.

Jansen and i were talking about certain matters while we made our way back home, we were thinking of getting our own car by the end of this year, we figured that we would save alot, as we cab around frequently. We also would like to get Jannie a spouse but this time we would import one from UK or maybe Australia again.

Attended Jansen's friend's wedding last night, the worst part was Jansen and I were being appointed as EMCEES for the night, given like maybe half a day notice. I freaked out! Why? I had to speak CHINESE! I stammered during one of my lines but it was great experience, i enjoyed myself and i felt appreciated when the bride and groom said their thanks. I loved my hair last night but well didn't have the time to take pictues, i didn't even have time to sink my teeth into the food. But well, anything to please him. I swear i'll make that newly wed couple Emcees for my wedding!

Anyway, its a brand new week again and Im not really looking forward to it. Thats all for now, enjoy the pictures.

My Favourite Picture

2008-01-17T22:39:00.000-08:00

This was taken on New Years itself, went to Wenny's place where the rest of us gathered for some quiet time. Its my current favourite picture of my snow cone so far =)

Anyway, i finally did my brizilian wax plus my underarms! I haven't done it for ages as i was really really busy, its actually rather addictive despite the pain, i don't believe in shaving haha. Now i feel so clean! Anyway shall not discuss more about that over here, not really a suitable topic.

Heading to the Grand Hyatt later, Mum wants to treat Jansen to a meal as he found a better job, sometimes i wonder whether im her biological daughter or he is -_-, she never treats me to a meal regardless of the occasion heh. I'll upload pictures later if there'll be any =)

Perspicacity

2008-01-14T19:44:00.000-08:00

Came across a few random blogs today. Found something very common among the blogs i read. By ordinary, majority would say love is unconditional or love is genuine. When things are made in an absolute manner, why do people still yammer or wail over petty issues in a relationship.

When you say, 'we're born to love the imperfect' or 'no one is born perfect', are you able to penetrate or comprehend such phrases. Or is this something depthless? Or you came across this in a fictional book or a movie you just watched and you decided to just say this to some you claim you love because it sounds oh so luscious.

As you walk down a long road of events filled with priceless experiences, do you actually forget the person you apparently fell in love with as you try so so hard to change whatever you thought was imperfect about him/her.

We all live in a mundane wourld filled with love, hate, sorrow, joy. Do we actually have the heart embrace everything that is thrown to us?

I am a victim of such, I take thing for granted as time passes, I expect more and more at each stage of satisfaction maybe because i thought I gave in a little too much thus I hunger for more to be given to me. I throw petty little tantrums when I don't get that amount of attention or the things I want. I find it hard to understand love maybe because I think too much. When I apologise, its already too late as I do not have the power to turn back time. 'Sorry' doesn't have a meaning to me. I wish I could be more understanding and have a bigger heart, but Im human afterall, I find these hard to attain, besides, happiness is a way of life not a destination...

Reminiscence

2008-01-13T02:29:00.000-08:00

Im currently sitting by myself in my living room, wanting Jannie to come up the sofa but she refuses and also im thinking of what to eat for dinner plus what beastly weather Singapore has during the monsoon season.

Deeper than what seems to be shallow and comestic, im actually thinking or tasting what most people call memories.

Year 2007 just came sweeping by without me treasuring much of it and now a brand new year begins....

Oh 2007, i can't really remember much of it, maybe because i didn't really enjoy that year, it was the most gruelling year i ever had so far. I had to face countless of problems from family issues to the many controversies i encountered in my relationship.

End of 2006, i had to sit for my A levels, something i actually wouldn't mind doing it again as well as a normal human being, im never satisfied with what i have. During that period, Jansen broke off with me over major issues, being a girl who grew SO dependent on her boyfriend and who had really weak willpower, i didn't do that well for my As. But during this period, i found out that my friends were always there for me, they made sure i had company every day and night. They never wanted me to be alone, some slept over at my place, i felt like i was a kid with many nannies. They made me realise that friends are one of the many constants one should have in life.

The beginning of 2007 was all about clubbing and more clubbing and more clubbing and of course i had work, i was working as a personal assistant in a private clinic at Gleneagles, i was a personal assistant of a distinguished Ophthalmologist. I was proud of that job, i met many ministers, doctors, professors who probably won't know who i am now if i walked up and say hi. But this job brought my communication and organising skills to a whole new level. And i am very very thankful to that Professor who gave me the opportunity to do so.

During that time frame Jansen came back to me but then i broke off with him again during Chinese New Year, reason being, i found out that i actually hated him and yes i found him disgusting. That led me to more clubbing and more drinking, which i met some flings, some i terribly terribly regret, while some i wish i didn't play and maybe a certain friendship could be attained. Soon after, Jansen wanted to come back again, for some reason, i accepted him again.

During the mid of 2007, family problems started to arise which made me lose a fraction of my motivation which gradually led me to miss and skip lessons. Truthfully, i didn't attend school for 2 whole months or maybe more, why? All i could do at home was cry as i felt so helpless when i get myself involved with adult issues as when money is involved, i have no say, i have no influence on any memeber of the family. Now i find it really hard to get back to my books, that motivation, its so difficult to grasp or maybe im just giving excuses to myself.

September 2007, Jannie came into my life. Jansen bought Jannie for me as a post birthday present, from then on, my life was tied to hers as she was only 2 months, therefore i had to sacrifice whatever time i had left for myself for her. I think i nursed her well, now she's a healthy 7 month year pup. But then i didn't have time for my friends, sometimes i do regret but looking at her ,well, it changed my perception, the joy she gave me, well its one of those things that money can't buy. Maybe because looking at her reminded me of Terry, my late Westie. Everyday i grew to love her more and more. Jannie changed Jansen in a way as well, now he doesn't wake up a peevish look anymore, maybe because Jannie kisses him and nibbles on his toes every morning. Actually before Jannie came in, i didn't know that Jansen had a loving heart for animals.

December 2007, the chapter on my family issues came to a closure, thanks to my uncle who decided to help and i really thank him for that. He flew straight down from Australia to assist the problem and he made it clear to me that im never alone. He thought me one thing though, in life, always under talk your intelligence, it is a good thing to let people under estimate you and the most important lesson he thought me was always be assertive but not aggressive. He thought me that family ties are always important and that i should always have a big heart for my parents and to forgive. Well, im trying to work on that, its not easy.

Beginning of 2008, i find myself alone as my parents left for their retirement, Jansen made it a point to stay with me overnights. I think my house has become his second home, i thank him for that as well and his mother for being understanding.

Well, 2008, i hope things take a turn for the better and i'll work for it, im scared but nonetheless i'll try and try and try even when im beaten, i'll still try...

To my constants....i thank you all for the lovely things you did for me...

And to you...thank you for your companionship and your love

Rough Plan

2008-01-09T04:31:00.001-08:00

I know its really early, but im actually planning for Jansen's 23rd birthday which is 20th of August. I have Plan A and Plan B but i don't know which one to choose.

Here's Plan A:

Give him his present in the morning
High tea at the Rose Veranda (Shangri-La Hotel)
Catch a movie if any or bring him on the duck tour
Dinner at either Giraffe or Aurum or My Humble House (Tung Lok Group)
Bring him to his favourite place which is OBar/Dblo for a suprise (which i have to steal his phone and get some contacts)
One night stay at The Gallery Hotel

Approximate Expenditure: $2000

Plan B:

Bring him on a holiday to one of his desired destinations, Cambodia

Approximate Expenditure: $3000, why...people usually use USD in Cambodia... sighs

Oh and of course my beloved Jannie's birthday would be at Pawtobello, well most likely it would be held there.

Approximate Expenditure: <$1000

Im going to be broke from June to August

I rarely say this...Im glad that you came into my life

2008-01-08T03:44:00.000-08:00

Had to admit myself into SGH today as I was due for a day surgery, i feel really weak now and im typing real slow, why, my veins hurt...

For you (although you never read my blog, but its a good thing)

Thank you for taking a whole week off to nurse my back to health, although you have to head back to work for half days to complete your clearance form. It was really sweet of you to get those cantonese herbal soup for me although I HATE DRINKING SOUP. With your sincerity, Im actually starting to like soup. Im happy that you got what you wanted in terms of your work. Sometimes I just can't believe the things that you do for me, I admit I do have second thoughts at times, as i still do feel insecure. Nonetheless, thank you for your love and care throughout these tough times, thank you for standing by my side. I love you...

Where Are You Christmas

2007-12-24T08:20:00.000-08:00

Where are you Christmas
Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why can't I hear music play

My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too

Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what have time's done
Is that why you have let me go

Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time

I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away
The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas
Fill you heart with love

Her First Swim

2007-12-21T07:11:00.000-08:00

Jansen and I brought our babydoll to East Coast Park today for her first swim. Jannie loves swimming and chasing after the waves, in addition she seems to like to eat sand. She swam and ran so much that we rewarded her with half a cup of New Zealand's Natural Ice Cream, she'll probably only get that treat once a month.

Jannie knocked out straight after she had her bath, you can imagine how tired she was, but I bet she had fun today. Enjoy her pictures =)

Lisa-Chan

2007-12-19T21:20:00.000-08:00

Meet the sweet looking Lisa-chan. Lisa is my cousin's daughter. She's a Japanese who speaks english with an American accent. That is because my cousin sends her to an International School in Japan. Lisa really knows how to give quick and witty replies to questions and she's only 5 years old! She eats more than I do, that girl really has an hearty appetite. We had lunch at the Crystal Jade Palace Restuarant at Takashimaya yesterday, I haven't stepped into that restaurant for quite a while. Mummy used to bring me there on a weekly basis when I was a child, really miss my childhood days.

Anyway, back to Lisa. The word 'chan' is used as an informal version of 'san' when it is used to address children or female family members. Lisa doesn't have a japanese name like those you see on television, that is because my cousin decided to give her an english one.

Just a peak into my family tree. On my Dad's side, My Great-Grandfather had 2 wives and I belong to the family of his 2nd wife. My granfather then had 4 wives, my grandmother is his 3rd wife. My grandmother then gave birth to 3 children, the youngest is my Dad. So I do have alot of step grans/aunts/uncles/cousins. As for my Mum, whose a Japanese mix Taiwanese, my Grandfather there had two wives who gave him a total of 9 children. You can imagine the number of cousins I have on my Mother's side. Well coming from a huge family, the sad thing is none of them are in Singapore. They are in Japan, Taiwan, Australia, USA and Europe. You can imagine how lonely I get when it comes to Chinese New Year. Anyway, so that makes Lisa a mix Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean. Well, Korean is because Lisa's Dad belongs to the 2nd generation of Koreans who were born in Japan.

I can't wait for Saturday as Lisa is coming to my house for Steamboat dinner (Taiwanese Style), also known as 'Mala Huoguo'.

I Love Her

2007-12-14T04:46:00.000-08:00

I simply love her. You gave me such a wonderful time back then at STC, I miss our weekly clubbing nights to MOS, I miss bitching while having coffee, I miss me getting high and you babysitting me while I ask for jam. You were always there to lend me your shoulders or a listening ear.

In short, Im blessed to have a friend like my Smelly Mellie Belly =)

Banned

2007-12-13T06:11:00.000-08:00

My reply to the webmaster

StephieNikki here, I used another account SOLELY to PERSONALLY send you a private message. I may not have the authority but I have to say this. I find that it is gelastic that you've banned me solely because I asked SOME WESTIE owners to join a newly set up Westie club. Firstly, I don't see any harm in asking them to go over as they are Westie outings there. I did these through private messages. I don't think by doing this, I am causing any flippancy. And the example you give about banks is way too extreme as we know this does not happen in society but it happens behind the scenes and this is what society calls competitiveness. I for one am not competing or disputing. Secondly, I did not receive warning, so I would appreciate if you won't be so spurious in your post. Its counterfactual. You should be looking at people who send private messages to each other about spamming or breeding or anything that would bring harm to animals, not something over paltry issues like this. Utopias doesn't happen is real life so stop trying to create one. No money is being involved here so I don't see any reason.

Full Grooming 2

2007-12-10T02:13:00.000-08:00

Stephie: Jannie don't put your head into the grocery bag!

Jannie: Bleah!

Jannie stares

Jannie tilts

Brought my beloved girl for her full grooming today, I actually wanted it ont he 13th but Jansen could not take her looking like a white furball =(

At Vivocity, there was a huge argument between a group of teenagers and a Chinese American Expat family. A number of people witnessed the argument and I really admired the daughter and the mother of the expat family. The daughter actually pulled this teenager's hair, called her a bitch and her mother was like 'KICK HER! JUST THROW $50 AT HER LATER FOR FACIAL!'. I was seriously laughing so hard, I swear i wanted to pee. But to me, it was the teenagers' fault, they played with the volleyball, the ball hit the mother's head and instead of giving her an apology, they ran. So the mother stopped one of them and guess what, they shouted at the family and wanted to box the father! Their daughter was so fired up, I swear if the situation had gotten any worse, she would have kicked the girl. Anyway, i wish those teenagers the best of luck as the family wants to sue them and bring this up to authority.

I am so ashamed so be a Singaporean at times, my generation has really put Singapore to shame. Yes, we do have brains but our culture? At least if we fight for a reason like skin colour, it makes sense, but we're get intol petty little fights? Shameful! My generation is only good for a few things, namely complain and get physical. If we carry on like this, I don't think we can go far. Now you see why the brainy ones choose to study overseas...

Well and Up

2007-12-08T06:56:00.000-08:00

Brought Jannie for her final follow-up today. Received wonderful new from Dr. Cheryl, Jannie fully recovered! Jansen and I were really happy! At the vet today, Jannie met a cat named 'Jason Bourne'! What a sweet looking cat, Jannie went near it but it hissed at Jannie but i allowed Jannie to explore further, in the end the cat almost scratched Jannie. Haha! I think my silly girl should have learnt her lesson. Jannie also ALMOST got humped by Dr. Cheryl's Bull Terrier, Joey was showing Jannie whose boss today, it was rather scary, this is the first time I've seen Joey acting in this manner. Jansen had to quickly pick up Jannie. After her consultation, Jannie head to the groomers to get my nails cut and for tooth brushing.

Meanwhile, Jansen and I went to grab lunch, that fella actually knew what I wanted for lunch. Sometimes I really do find him sweet but sometimes I really get so frustrated and annoyerd with him that I feel like throwing him down the chute. After that we went down to Sim Lim Square to have a look at a couple of gadgets. My silly silly baby actually could resist from buying himself any gadgets today, did I mention that Jansen actually spent 3000+++ on fixing his own computer? While we were walking, we discussed something rather interesting, something about business we might start, its a risk, but Im not going to mention it here, haha its a secret and Im selfish, so beat it haha =)

We went to pick Jannie up and then we wanted to head home, but then we stopped by Spectacle Hut at Habourfront and ended buying a Gucci glasses and a Guess shade which Im converting into glasses. The Gucci one for him and the Guess one for me =)

And Im sorry for the lack of photos, will post them up soon...

I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

What I've Done

2007-12-02T19:55:00.000-08:00

I would like so side track a little. I've never been so lost, so aimless, living by a daily basis, this is just NOT me. I want my OLD me back, yet I simply can't find her. I've been wasting these months away, I need a wake up call, I need my friends, yet I can't find them. I feel like breaking down, family issues are driving me crazy, my relationship is driving me mad.

I miss the girl I used to be, a nerd during the day, a party animal at night, yet i still get my grades. Where is she? Where is that girl with the big dreams? I can't find her within me. I miss that Shopaholic, that girl who had a pattern in life. I look in the mirror and I see someone so different. Where is that girl who gets bored of town easily? Where is that girl who visits her friends when they're working? Where is she?

And then there's you!!! You actually bring yourself so low to help me? I don't want that! I rather I help myself! You ask me to TRUST you, do you know the definiton of TRUST? I don't think you know. I TRUSTED you and you proved my intuition right. Asking me to trust you again? Its suicide, you think giving up your friends, giving clubbing is ENOUGH is make up for what you did? It NOT. Even if you GIVE UP YOUR LIFE, you CAN'T turn back time! You can't change what you did. I do not what happened to you in the past and you don't know mine, so DON'T ACT LIKE YOU KNOW! Stop saying that I was born with a golden spoon! Just because I once lived in Third Ave and Orchard Rd and then back to Bukit Timah and now here, don't judge me! I am not your average rich, childish, spoilt brat! Now you made the situation worse, now she would think that you like her, SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE! If there's ever a third party, YOU SETTLE IT! And if you don't, IM THROWING YOUR THINGS OUT OF MY HOUSE!

Tracheobronchitis

2007-11-30T03:57:00.000-08:00

Brought my babydoll to consult a specialist (Dr Edmund Daubaras) today, I was actaully referred to him by Jannie's initial vet. For those reading my blog, he's not Indian although his surname sounds a little hindi, he's Australian. I love his sardonic jokes to his poor intern, his character reminds me a little of my JC Civics Tutor. Jannie did her X-rays today, and here's the joke, SHE HAS TWO MICRO CHIPS! My poor girl, she probably went through twice the pain, god knows what the breeder did to her when she was in Australia.

Jannie is currently diagnosed with Tracheobronchitis which is also known as Kennel Cough and slight Pneumonia. The medical fees today was practically HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Its equivalent to me consulting one of Singapore's top Ophthalmologists. But well the hundreds i've spent so far is worth it. I can give up my monthly bikini waxing, shopping, hairstyling, fancy restaurants, clubbing and chilling all for my little one. I do not need to live in a mundane world, although I've spent like I don't know how many hundreds of USD on online shopping haha, but its all for Jannie.

Rather nervous for Monday though, her lab results are coming out (hopefully), i wonder what they've cultured. Dropped off her X rays at Dr Cherly's after Jannie's consultation with Dr Edmund. Found out one more thing Jannie hates, that is X-RAYS! They didn't sedate her today, so I actually wasted my effort on fasting her. But well, at least I detoxified her body. I wanted to get another Westie but with Jannie's condition, I probably have to wait. So I made it up to her by cooking her favourite BEEF LOAF! I wanted to use 50g of minced beef but i ended up using 100g, i added more raddish though, beef is quite heaty so i used raddish to cool it down. My lovely little girl wolfed it straight down. I was quite lucky though, when i was walking around Vivocity, some dog owners came up to Jannie and kept commenting on how pretty and how adorable and sweet she is, I think all the attention got her all peppy and perky again.

My December is probably gone, I would not be able to hang out often, but well it doesn't really bother me, suppose to head up to Hong Kong and Macau but well Jansen and I decided to give it up for Jannie, we'll probably not leave her until she reaches to an adult stage. So, I simply asked Jannie's Godmum whose going to HK to buy some clothes and other stuff for her. Till then, Im still trying to check with AVA on how to get a passport for her and the process of her going overseas.

More updates on Monday...

Jannie....I Love You

2007-11-29T01:40:00.000-08:00

Jannie's bored look at Starbucks

Mummy can we go?

Mummy say you love me!

Dearest Jannie,

Please know that Mummy really loves you. I really don't know why your condition has deteriorated but don't worry alright? Mummy is going to bring you to the best specialist there is in this country tomorrow, but sadly I have no choice but to fast you tonight. The vets still don't know your condition but we'll find out soon enough, Mummy will always be here for you, don't give up alright? Mummy knows that you're not feeling well and it hurts to see you trying to wag your tail and make me happy everyday. Mummy will always take care of you and I'll spend thousands of dollars on you if I have to. I'll never ever leave your side so please don't leave mine.

Love.

Mummy

December 16th

2007-11-27T04:06:00.000-08:00

I forgot to bring my camera down today again so no pictures. I brought Jannie down to play with the Australian Pedigree Westie today, I call him SWISSROLL! They had so much fun. Swissroll kept jumping on Jannie while Jannie being nice for the FIRST TIME allowed another dog to bully her.

Reina treated my to Sake Sushi, it was really nice of her. I feel quite guilty as she got her pay today and she treated me to a meal. Next time it'll be my treat alright Reina?

I am going to hold a party on December 16th for Jannie, its going to be combined with this other Westie named Yuki. So we're expecting about 8 Westies and of course other breeds of dogs. I can't wait, but we're having a problem with deciding with the venue. Everyone finds Pawtobello a little boring now. Truthfully, I am starting to feel it kicking in, I bring Jannie down every week without fail and haha its getting boring, but still i would bring her there once a week. So dog run? Sentosa? Another cafe?

To side track, it came to my attention that there are some people who are rather magiloquent and to be honest i tend to condemn people who act all pompous. So please stop all of the window dressing and simply tell me what you're unhappy about. Using your past experience to put the blame on me is sadly a very spineless and lame-brained defense. Don't act all nice infront of me and then backbite me. I can read through your sardonic remarks, so don't be a coward and look back on old wounds. DON'T DOUBLE CROSS ME, you're taking a risk and you better find a contingency plan because i don't bite but i'll tear and shred you into many pieces. So stop being childish before you step on my tail.

Hello Bobbi Panter

2007-11-23T03:54:00.000-08:00

Bobbi Panter!

Your Mortifying Moment

Snapper Stew with Brown Rice

Finally goodbye to Biogroom and hello Bobbi Panter. I finally bought the Bobbi Panter Shampoo for Jannie. It received really good ratings in the US. Emailed Bobbi Panter in Chicago to enquire a little more about their products before i bought it. They give really detailed answers in their reply, excellent customer service!

Brought Jannie down to the Petfuze fair today to meet Reina and Muffyne. Reina bought a little house for Muff and i bought the 'Eat Better Bowl' and another squeaky toy for Jannie. After that we went to Pawtobello again, while my dearest Jansen the Giraffe went to Sim Lim Sqaure to hunt for his XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog Edition (Graphic Card), my hard core, gamer boyfriend wants 2 OF THOSE CARDS IN OUR CPU! Anyway, he finally found them after days and days of non stop search. Doesn't this show you how steadfast my dearest one is? Sometimes i really find him rather compelling and charming, i mean SOMETIMES, most of the time, he's simply acts like a block of wood. Really, a block of wood! He has a blank response in every on my comments.

Anyway, after Pawtobello, we sent Reina home and then we headed back and since its friday, Jannie had HCF. Made her Snapper Stew with Brown Rice today, that silly girl ate so fast that she burnt her tongue. So i gave her yoghurt and later ice water to cool her tongue. My two Jans really provides me with daily entertainment. They're one of the reasons why im still smiling despite all my problems im encountering this year. I simply love the both of you.

Daddy's Gift To You

2007-11-16T06:10:00.000-08:00

A pink mattress, a house and a purple doggie bone cushion

Popped by Reina's house again today. Jannie was rather upset today, maybe it was due to me leaving her at home for a few hours as i had to go to Sim Lim Square to get some computer parts with Jansen yesterday night. I couldn't bring her as it'll be really crowded and i didn't really want her to get stressed up. So when i mentioned Muffyne's name, her head pooped up so i decided to bring her over. As usual, those two little girls played and played and played. Muffyne, that smart puppy, stole Jannie's treats and used it to agitate her! Smart girl, i guess she's starting to figure out that my lil Jan is food orientated =)

Soon Reina, Rivlynn(her 8 year old sister) and I left for Suntec City to meet Jansen, we went to Petfuze as Jansen and I decided to get her a bed since we're giving her play pen to Reina. Somehow Jannie fell for the tent instead, she went in and sleep with the fake Shitz Tzu, she did that on Wednesday too when Reina and I went to Suntec City. So since she keeps on doing the same thing over and over again, we decided to get the tent instead, but to make the tent more comfortable for our baby, we added an extra mattress and a cushion. It costs Jansen $149 altogether. Reina also got a new bed for Muffyne, a sweet pink one, she got it at a very good price as it was the past piece and the owners are not bringing in this particular design anymore.

After that, we left for Carrefour as Jansen wanted to buy ingredients for dinner and i wanted to get a Red Snapper for Jannie. Reina was amused that my bf actually does grocery shopping, haha but the thing is my bf loves to cook, although he can be really lazt sometimes. Bought Rivlynn Ben and Jerry's, im totally in love with Rivlynn! I envy Reina for having such a pretty little sweet sister, Rivlynn is the youngest in the family and she's no spoilt brat. One more thing, Reina's maid sure can cook! Makes me miss my Kristina (Nanny) alot. She went back to the Philippines when i was JC 1 =(.

Anyway meeting Reina, Rivlynn and Muffyne again at Clark Quay tomorrow, bringing our lil ones to Pawtobello for dinner! Simply can't wait. Im feel so hopped up for tomorrow!

Jannie and Muffyne, Take 2

2007-11-13T05:35:00.000-08:00

Playing at the Clinic

New toys for my brave lil girl who didn't cry during her vaccine

She scolded the vet after her vaccine though

Short nap in the cab to Reina's house

Muffyne! Im older so im boss!

I can tower over you

Jannie! I can do it too!

Mummy, we're tired already

Met Reina today, we brought our little ones out as they both had to go for their vaccinations. Jannie received her last one while Muffyne received her second. My gutsy and hardy Lil Jan didn't even make a sound during her vaccination! Im so proud of her, although she scolded the vet after her vaccination. My white chilli padi. Poor Muffyne screamed while she was receiving hers, but well Muffyne is a month younger than Jannie so well its understandable that she can't really take the pain.

Anyway, after the visit to the vet, Reina and i popped by Mother's Garden to look at some pet accessories. Reina bought a new Dog Carrier for Muffyne! Its really pretty, its silver and it looks like one of those Juicy bags =) I bought Jannie another 2 new toys to reward her for her spirit.

Soon after, we left for Reina's house, she stays in a really huge and beautiful house, its a spacious 3 story landed house, it has a Jacuzzi, a swing and a pretty Coy Pond at the front yard. I really like Reina, you would think that a girl like her would act like Paris Hilton but no, she's one realistic girl. Very down to earth. She doesn't splurge on high fashion products, doesn't desire them, buys only necessary items. She's only 18, but coming from a well to do family, she actually earns her own allowance! I met her Godmother today as well, she has a cute little baby boy named Connor whose British! Andof course i met the lovable Cookie, who growled and chased Jannie as that silly girl of mine was irritating her.

Muffyne and Jannie sure had fun today, they played for 4 hours but of course with breaks in between. Jannie is asleep now, im sure she'll be having really sweet dreams all thanks to Muffyne. Well i'll be meeting Reina again tomorrow! And our lil ones are coming along too. Im going to hit the sack now, have to wake up early to head to my faimly's lawyer tomorrow. =)

PS: Reina, im blessed to have a friend like you.

Westies Westies Westies!!!

2007-11-11T06:12:00.000-08:00

Oz and Jannie

Headed down to the West Coast dog run for a Westie gathering today. It was BOISTEROUS! Altogether there were 8 Westies! Namely, Angel, Oz, Piko, Skippy, Sparco, Tiffy, Yuki and Jannie! All the lovable white snow cones! The outing was a success! Everyone had so much fun together! But for some reason, Tiffy kept getting attacked by the other Westies and her tooth fell out today =( poor Tiffy. The Lamb Loaf Snuffy made was DELICIOUS! My greedy imp had two servings and after that she tried to lick the aluminum foil clean. It was a pity that Angel and Kaka were unable to join us today, im sure she would have fun if she did. There are too many pictures taken today, so i decided to upload my favourite, the picture above was taken by Snuffy's hubby. Don't they look like childhood sweethearts? =)

The Elizabethan Collar

2007-11-07T00:49:00.000-08:00

The Elizabethan Collar (E Collar). Yes, my poor little Jannie is wearing it. Her rashes are back and this time, its pretty bad. Her whole tummy and hind legs have rashes! Brought her to the vet today, Dr. Cheryl just came back from her vacation so its no more Dr. Cathy. Dr. Cheryl said that the cause for her rashes are due to her environmental factors, but i clean her everytime when she comes up from her walk. Well maybe it was something really nasty that got on Lil Jan. The vet wasn't the worse part, Jannie screamed and yelled at the groomers while she was getting her nails cut. I finally know one thing that she hates. Haha. Lil Jan was really angry, she actaully gripped onto Kingly's spectacle frame and swinged her head, the next thing i knew, Kingly's spectacle went flying and it dropped on the floor. My little terror...Well she's sleeping now, after crying and whining over her E collar when i put it on. Going to look for her bed this Saturday since i kept her play pen already. Anyone wants a free play pen? =)

One Westie mix Maltest and Two Westies

Kaka, Facai and Jannie

Facai and Jannie

Jannie!

Tiffy!

Skippy!

Jansen and I head down to Pawtobello again! We're trying to keep our promise to our Lil girl. We actually wanted to just stay for the puppy's gathering but then before i left the house, Tiffy's father decided to hold a last minute mini Westie gathering! In the end, we stayed from 3pm-8+pm. Jannie had so much fun today. As usual, she bullied Facai, initially she didn't let Kaka in to play but soon after Jannie started chasing Kaka. Kaka is so adorable! He has HUGE ears! I really fell like biting them haha! Jannie went around looking for scraps and ended up in the Shitz Tsu corner, that devil bullied poor Dou Dou until he cried and as usual she continued. I had to pull my lil one away. The whole afternoon Jannie kept playing with Facai, she wouldn't give up, i lost the number of rounds they had with each other. But they were simply ADORABLE! I saw Kaka tilt his head and stick out his tongue!!! Its really cute!!! Jannie can't tilt her head while all the Westies can sighs.

Soon after, evening came and Tiffy and Skippy arrived with their parents. Oh man, they were so so so cute! Skippy is so big! Really nice to cuddle!!! Tiffy looks so demure and ladylike, unlike my naughty Jannie. Skippy that big joker, went around and finished all the dishes with beef! Haha! Nicole thinks that Skippy fell in love with Jannie, well cause Skippy...well i don't need to explain what dogs do yup. Haha! Im gald that my little one had fun today, she finally met her kind. She's was so tired when she got home, now she's sleeping soundly. Well im off to bed as well, got to handle that ball of nuclear energy when she wakes up!

Salmon and Dill Pasta

2007-10-31T06:38:00.000-07:00

The first cookbook i bought in my life

Jannie! Dinner Time! Salmon and Dill Pasta

Mummy! I love you!

Mummy! Would you please clean my mouth?

Went to take a look at amazon.com today, i listened to Nicole and decided to purchase cookbooks for dogs. Fresh food is much better than kibbles but the thing is i have no time to cook. I went down to Kinokuniya and purchased about 4 books. But 3 are still witht he suppliers so im still waiting. I rushed home from school today and prepared this dish from the cookbook, its called 'Salmon and Dill Pasta', my baby girl loved it! I read that salmon is good for her coat as it is high in protein. The cookbook also includes many nutritional facts for dogs, its made easy to understand thus very easy to read and digest. I made it a point to prepare dinner for my lovable Jannie twice a week! Sighs now i have two babies in the house, Jansen and Jannie. I suddenly feel so 'house - wifey', i have to cook for the both of them! Haha, the thing is i actually enjoy it! I feel juiced up! I can't wait for tommorrow! Going to meet with this insurance agent to discuss about Jannie's insurance! Thats all for now, tutorials tutorials tutorials, here i come =(

Pawtobello

2007-10-28T17:57:00.001-07:00

Her dirty mouth after a cupof Green Apple-Orange Juice

Nothing more enjoyable than a Pot of English Breakfast on a rainy day

Jannie ( 4 months 12 days) and Niki ( 2 1/2 years)

Yesterday Jansen and i decided to bring Lil Jan down to Pawtobello again. I went down first as Jansen had to get a hair cut. We were really blessed that we got there before the heavy downpour. Moreover, there were two more Westies at Pawtobello! They were namely Joey and Niki, all females too! Jannie fancied Niki though. They would not stop playing. Niki was really nice! They were running around in circles! And man, Jannie sure can run really fast now, the first time she tried running, she ended up hopping. My neighbours said that she looked like a white rabbit =( Joey the other Westie was afraid of rain though, the heavy downpour caused Joey to engage in endless barking. Joey's mummy and daddy thus had to bring Joey home. Soon after, Niki and family had to go home too. Once again, Jannie went around Pawtobello looking for scraps of food, she ended up at the table where all the Kings Charles were. My headstrong, holy terror little Jannie frightened this poor Kings Charles named Deffy and started to chew on Fegal's tail. I should have name her Hell Dog or Shredder. Lastly Jansen and i decided to bring Jannie down on a weekly basis, suddenly i feel that my dollars and coins have their own legs and they're running away. =(

P.S I can't wait for Jannie to meet up with Lil Muffyne again! They're going to get their vaccinations in the 13th! Bought something for Muffyne. Miss that black mop! Reina, Muff's mummy wants to treat Jannie to U.S Bakery, everyone is spoiling my lil one. I can't wait for the 3rd too! Jannie's going to meet Kaka!! This other Westie whose a male, around the same age as Jannie and he has huge ears! He's adorable!

Oh and Reina...neverever say my bf is handsome...you made his head swell! He was like blushing and grinning at the same time!! Feel like kicking him back to mars! Still i can't wait to meet Muff the black mop and you!

Muffyne and Jannie

Meet Jannie, my HELL DOG

Pictures taken by Reina

HALLOWEEN

2007-10-27T07:35:00.000-07:00

My oh my, i officially pronounce Jannie as HELL DOG! Today was a day packed full of fun. This is how the day started off. Jansen, Jannie and I went to Vivocity, we manage to get Jannie a new collar as she grew out of her old one, met Reina and Matthew for a short while. We then had to put Jannie into day care as Jansen and I had to catch a show. But in the end we decided to give Jannie another bath at the grooming center instead as she drank carrot juice and had stains all over her mouth! At the same time, it allowed me to save some money. After the movie, we met up with Elaine, Joyce and Joanne plus their partners and furkids. Oh my Dou dou is really so so cute and so is Jia Jia, i didn't get to see Princess though. =( Moving on, i picked up my mother at Clark Quay and we then headed to PAWTOBELLO! There was a Halloween gathering! Jannie, that naughty little girl of mine couldn't stop getting on top of Facai! Kept chasing that poor little boy around! I not only think that my puppy has an identity crisis but i also think she's a big FLIRT! She barked at other dogs when they came near her food, she ate so fast that food got stuck and i had to changed her food because it was too sticky for her. Jannie also chewed on the Labrador's tail and lastly SHE PEE PEE on a stranger!!! Can you imagine the embarrassment!!! Sighs.....its tough being a 'Mummy' and i fell in love with this collar that i bought her another collar. So altogether she received two new collars today. And my oh my, the bill was crazy!!! But my mother paid so it wasn't that bad...haha im an evil child, i know =) Well i'll try posting the pictures another time, currently my CPU can't read my memory card!!!

Careless Whisper

Thank you all for the memories

Went to play Squash with my Uni schoolamates today. We played at YCK, man, it sure brought back memories of the A division. Memories memories memories. The only thing i loved about my JC life was Squash. I didn't really like my JC, reason being, i was from an IJ school and every convent girl who went to JC, either went to CJC, SAJC, ACJC or HCI. And i went to JJC. There was a huge language barrier for me, eveyone conversed in mandarin or their own mother tongue. And i was one of the minority who conversed in english. I can't help it, i was a convent girl ever since PRIMARY SCHOOL! I had to face this 'Speak Good English' banner everyday in school! And teachers tend to scold us if we conversed in our mother tongue. Thats the culture i've been brough up with. But Squash made me like my JC and i like my team mates. But the sad thing is, i didn't treasure their friendship then and now im in some self-reproach. I was really happy during trainings, i played Squash everytime when im psyched out, it really helps. Squash also brought back some unwanted memories. That i shall not mention it here.

Behind The Scene

2007-10-24T20:19:00.001-07:00

Jannie's 'Mum' and 'Dad'

Jannie's 'God Mum 3' and 'God Dad 1'

Jannie's 'God Mum 1'

This is a very random post, i've decided to introduce all of Jannie's Mums and Dads. =). Firstly, Jannie's mum and dad: Stephanie Nikki and Jansen. Secondly, Jannie's God mum 2 and God Dad 1:Lynn and Kaye. Thirdly, Jannie's God Mum 3: Melissa and finally God Mum 1: Wenny!

For those who are intersted in the derivation of the name Jannie. Here's the story. Initially, Jansen and I were walking around Vivocity, we didn't plan to get Jannie, but when we saw her, we were immediately BEWITCHED by Jannie. We wanted to reserve her for 1 hour, reason being we had to consider, but in the end, we just bought her on the spot. While Jannie was getting all cleaned up ready to be taken home, we were thinking of a name, i acutally wanted Dutchess, reason being Princess is too common! I have like 6 friends whom their furkids are named PRINCESS! But then, Dutchess didn't suit her character, this westie is too hyper and bubbly and affectionate. Then Jansen came up with Jannie, my parents wanted Snow White though. But Jannie responded to the name Jannie better. After a few weeks i noticed something, 'Jannie' is the combination of both Stephanie and Jansen. It has Jansen's "JAN" and Stephanie's "NIE". =) Contingency? Who knows?

More updates later, time to head to Pawtobello!

Playtime after Grooming

Jannie's first full grooming at 4 months 1 week. She was supposed to be groomed by some lady but with luck, she was groomed by Kingsly Tan, the Director. According to Kingsly, Jannie is one naughty puppy, she fidgets alot! I spoke to Thomas today as well, his the guy from 'Pick a Pet', he sold Jannie to me, he said the im pampering my little one, but i can't help it! She's so cute! She's smart, she knows how to make me not hit her when she does something wrong. My pup knows that she's cute. After grooming, Jannie went to the grass patch at the top level of Vivocity to play, her Daddy came later and then we bought the ASD calander. Seriously, please visit http://www.asdsingapore.com/, some breeders and owners are simply malignant. For example, this breeder screwed up this dog's genes due to inbreeding, simply sick!Anyway imsoproudof Jannie!!! Thomas said she's pretty!! Dr Cathy said Jannie has a pretty face unlike some Westies. But wait, all Westies are cute. My head just simply swells a little when people say Jannieis pretty =). More updates tomorrow! Jannie is going to Pawtobello again!

When Jannie Meets Muffyne

2007-10-23T05:53:00.000-07:00

Met up with Reina, her bf Matthew and lil Muffyne today. We dropped by the Pet Safari at Simei. And my oh my as you can tell from the photos above, Jannie was bullying poor lil Muffyne!!! My pup sure fails as a big sister, all she wants to do is dominate dominate dominate!!! By the way, Jannie is a bitch so is Muffyne, those reading this, please know that she's not humping Muffyne, she's just trying to show Muffyne that she's boss. Reina introduced this yoghurt treat for dogs and Jannie sure loved it! That smart ass of mine simply sat infront of Reina and gave that puppy look to ask for more to the extent that Reina gave Jannie the last yoghurt drop. Sighs. In the end, i bought one packet of those yoghurt drops. Reina actually ate one of those infront of me, she claims that its really tasty. Im really glad that Jannie had fun today. Well thats all for today, i have to get back to my tutorials now.

P.S. Reina!! Lets meet up again!!! We'll head out to other places when Muffyne is done with all her jabs =) Thanks for today =)

Letting Go

2007-10-22T07:23:00.000-07:00

Two more days to the 24th, im trying my best to let go but the flashbacks are haunting me. I drown myself in my tutorials but its not helping. I actually skipping lectures and tutorials, i give myself the excuse that the lecturers/tutors are incompetent, amateurish, inexperienced, maladroit and raw. However, I'm the one whose actually lazy, lackadaisical, shiftless and torpid. The thing is, i do know that im a girl with a truck load of excuses just to escape the difficulties in life, yet im not actually doing anything. That drive, that impulsion i had 3 years back somehow dissolved into pure somber. I feel as though im in the Doldrums.

Alright, i should really stop this mumbo jumbo or people reading my blog would think i sort of emotional sensitive shrew.

Anyway i want to introduce you to Jannie, my baby West Highland White Terrier aka Westie. She's currently 4 months 5 days. She loves to dominate other dogs, sometimes she goes behind another dog and does that humping action. She's not actaully humping, she's actually showing whose boss b ut most people tend to take the former. Sighs. She's a terror at home, she's an imp outside but she's an angel when she sleeps.

Tomorrow she'll be meeting Muffyne and Reina, i hope everything goes well and i seriously hope she doesn't bully lil Muffyne.
