Unlike past years, I didn’t take many pictures this year! Well, because I couldn’t be bothered to charge my camera because it disappointed me much when I brought it to the States, and I didn’t wanna photo whore much with my phone camera. Thus you won’t be seeing much of me in this entry. Or rather, you won’t be seeing me at all in this entry.

And we cousins (Vione, Nicole, Charlene Tan and I) forgot to take our annual CNY group picture!!! =(((((( Sad.

Huh what? You die also wanna see me?

Ok la ok la.

=D

Ok, back to my title, DOG WALKING!

As you all probably has heard me say, my aunt’s house is like  a pound. So many dogs la!

And so every year when we go to her house, the kids’ favourite place would be her backyard, where the dogs are. This year is no exception.

They usually just keep hanging around the backyard, but this year, my Aunt made her maid walk the dogs, and the kids wanted to tag along!

Me, being the Yiyi, had to tag along to look after the kids because (haha!) the kids’ maid is scared of dogs. HAHAHAHAHA. She went out with us, but kept at such a distance I don’t even know why she came out to walk the dogs with us.

Oh well,

LET’S WALK THE DOGS! =D

The black dog on leash is Max.

He is SO tame, he puts Stylus (Otes’s dog) to shame.

Ok, maybe because he’s old, and doesn’t have much strength, but he’s SUCH a good boy!

He was on the the kids’ pace through out the whole walk with them! I keep thinking if the kids tried to walk Stylus, they’d prolly fall trying to keep up to Stylus’s pace. Otes’s dog is SO energetic that I don’t even have the strength to walk him, let alone the kids.

The brown dog is Bambi.

My Aunt had told the kids that Bambi is a little naughty so Claudia is a little cautious towards her.

Let’s start the walk! =D

Through out the whole walk, the kids were fighting to walk Max, because the kids didn’t dare to walk Bambi. Ok, by the kids, I meant Ashton. Claudia is braver than her brother! She wanted to walk Bambi when Ashton refused to pass her the leash to Max, but my Aunt’s maid rejected, because she didn’t wanna take the risk. Bambi, is after all, a little naughty. Lol.

姐夫 Lew tried to come up with an explanation about why Ashton is so timid, and he said he saw a show, or read somewhere (can’t remember which) that left handers are more cowardly and timid. Well, Ashton is a left-hander.

It would have made sense if only… HIS YIYI IS NOT A LEFT HANDER TOO. HAHAHAHHAA.

Sissy Tan then said:

“Ya right. Look at his Yiyi.“

NO WHERE NEAR COWARDLY NOR TIMID HOR. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Left handers more timid proved wrong.

I think, however, the younger siblings are usually braver. *ahem*

Sissy Tan always pushed me to do the things she didn’t dare to do when we were young. Like go up to the McDonald’s counter to take ketchup, or something.

Do you know Claudia once went up to the drink store alone to buy drinks? Ashton didn’t even dare to do that! And to further stress on how brave she was, Sissy Tan and I were no where near her when she walked up to the drink store owner to get drinks.

Aww Mei Mei, Yiyi is so proud of you!

Back to walking the dogs.

Bambi took a dump not long after we started walking, and the kids started to say Max wanted to take a dump too.

Ashton then said Max’s dump was stuck to his ass, and he kept trying to show it to Claudia.

He then asked the maid if that was Max’s shit sticking out, and she said yes. So Claudia squatted down to the the piece of hanging faeces. -_-

After walking for quite some time, the kids were amused that the piece of shit has yet to fall out on its own, so they started to study it.

It was so funny, so I went up to see what they were looking at.

IT TURNED OUT TO BE MAX’S BALLS. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

Aiyo kids, why you two so cartoon?! HAHAHAHA.

We went back after awhile, while the maid continued to walk the dogs.

Then Sissy Tan saw this at the backyard and asked what that was.

Can you guess?

It’s a fly trap!

The piece of thing there is not a stone, but dog poo. Somewhere near the dog poo is a little hole big enough for a fly to fly in. And apparently, flies will only fly up, so it’d be tricked to another compartment, where they’ll fly around for awhile before discovering the entrance to another compartment. Little do the flies know, THAT’S WHERE THEY WILL DIE.

Omg.

This man-made fly trap is ingenious can?!

Ok.

That’s all for walking the dogs!

Last picture! =D

… and asked me if she looks like Claudia. HAHAHAHA.

I think her mouth too big, and Claudia looks cuter. HA!

What do you think?

Here I am updating ok?

And I’m here to tell you why I haven’t been updating.

BECAUSE OF HIM!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I’ve been watching 步步惊心 (bu bu jing xin) recently and every time he goes on screen, my heart melts. Every time he goes off screen and I see some one else, my heart hardens, and then he comes on screen and my heart melts again. HAHAHA.

Right now, my heart is in some random shape because of him. HAHAHA!

I haven’t finished watching, but it’s becoming damn draggy, and both Sissy Tan and Yeo Chengfeng are niao-ing me, so there.

And if you’ve seen my emo tweets on me ‘cry die me’, it’s because of this show, nothing to do with my emo-ness. =D

I am, however, pretty emo about a dress that I bought during Chinese New Year.

Random picture of my cousin’s son. Nothing to do with my dress.

I haven’t been shopping for Chinese New Year clothes for the longest time because I’ve been shopping online for the past few years. Though not for the occasion itself, I’ve always had enough unworn shirts to wear on the occasion itself. This year, however, I realised that I’ve got nothing to wear! (Because I haven’t been shopping online, and my existing unworn clothing are all in black.)

Therefore, sad me had to go for last minute shopping.

Now, I’ve been wanting to get a red dress for the longest time. Not just for new year, but… well. I just wanted a red dress. Since it was new year, I figured there’ll be plenty of red dresses, thus my search for red dress begun.

It was tough, though, to find a red dress to my liking. After shopping for what seemed like forever, with poor Otes following behind me, bored to death, I saw this dress on a mannequin that looks pretty good to me.

Desperate, I went into the shop. When I saw that it was $29.90, I thought: What a steal! A dress for $29.90 is pretty cheap, and it’s to my liking too!

After trying it out, Otes told me I look pretty good in it (tried one a few in other shops and he told me they are not nice.) and so I got it.

It comes with a belt, but the shop attendants paired the dress with another belt that looks nicer, and so I bought the belt too. The belt was $31, and I bought it because after adding the amount to the dress, it’s only $60, and a dress for $60 is pretty reasonable to me.

So while happily checking for defects on the dress after the cashier had keyed in and processing the transaction, something caught my eye.

The price tag.

The dress.

Is not $29.90.

It.

Costs.

$129.90.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Shocked beyond words, I whispered to Otes:

“OMFG. THE DRESS IS NOT 29! IT’S 129!!!”

Otes opened his eyes wide, and then kept snickering. -_-”

Later on, I found out that $129 is before the calculation of GST, and it’s actual cost is $138.

OH, KILL ME.

I wouldn’t have minded as much if it was from like, Mango or Dorothy Perkins, or some other brands with dresses around this price.

BUT THAT DRESS IS FROM LVER. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT BRAND IS THIS!? WHAT?! T.T

This is the dress is question.

You are to tell me it’s nice and it compliments me like nothing else, and I look like a fairy descended from the heavens, BECAUSE THIS DRESS IS $140.

*heartache*

After getting this dress, I told Otes I wanted to get a pair of shorts I saw earlier on, and it costs $39.90.

Otes had to rub it in and ask:

“You sure it’s not $139.90?“

…

=(

My dress is nice right? =(

Ok, needs something to make me smile.

Hehehe.

My horrible (or nice?) colleagues, Teng Feng and Yee Huan, offered to let me eat them. Here’s the conversation I had with Teng Feng.

I’m very hungry.
Nah let you eat me.
Let you be on your way to cannabalism.
What makes you think I’m not?
*surprise look*
You’re a piranha?
o.O Piranha is the fish right.
Ya. So you are the 美人鱼 (proper translation; mermaid. direct transalation [which I prefer]; Pretty lady fish. HAHAHA!) who eats human.

Yay!

我是美人鱼!

Can you guess it? =D

Apparently, he doesn’t really know the correct way to address his relatives in Chinese terms. Eg. Father’s elder brother = 伯伯

(Or in this case, Hokkien.)

“Si Ghim (四舅母) is your mother’s sister ar?“
“No. My mother’s brother’s wife.“
“You got no Ah Ghim meh? Your mother no brothers ar?“
“Got.“
“Her brothers all no wife ar?“
“Got.“
“Then how you address them?“

“Hello.“

Well, prior to my dear avid reader’s comment from my previous post, I must say I’m most flattered. =D

And to thank him for his support, and prove to him that my heart is in the right place (loving him), here are a few lot more pictures of myself. HAHAHAHAHA.

What’s even better is, I’ve decided to make them every larger than usual to make it a pleasure for him to scroll through.

HAHAHAHA.

I love you, too, Yeo Chengfeng.

Muacks.

I ended my 2011 with a bang!

Well, 2011 hasn’t been smooth sailing, neither had 2010, 2009 and 2008 (though I can’t really remember what happened much in those past years). Let’s face it, what kinda life doesn’t have ups and downs? Life is, after all, a roller coaster ride, right?

Doesn’t matter how bad anything has been. The important thing is, it’s over now. Moreover, taking recent events into consideration, I would say my 2011 has been a blast.

Check out the cartoon guy behind us! Haha!

We went over to The Arena just now, the cab queue back was crazily long. Even the hotlines were jammed! Thankfully, we were lucky enough to get hold of a cab. When we boarded, the cab driver told us that a lady had stopped him and told him that she was willing to pay him $10 extra (on top of all the other charges) if he let her on board. Thank God for honest cab drivers with integrity! =D Booking fee $2.50 nia. Don’t understand why the lady don’t wanna blast taxi companies. Singapore so many taxi companies!

Anyway, what I wanted to say was: MY CAB DRIVER ALMOST RAN SOMEONE OVER.

CHUA SAI!

Please refer to my picture above to see how the taxi almost ran a poor innocent pedestrian over.

He was turning, and instead of going the right way (green arrow), he literally drove up the curb (red arrow) and scared the shit out of the pedestrian!

I was asleep and woke up when the taxi driver slammed his brake and caused the taxi to jerk forward. Woke up to see the taxi on the curb, and a very angry pedestrian staring at the driver. (Fuck the pedestrian’s life. First day of 2012 almost kena bang.) I saw the angry pedestrian walking towards the taxi, like he was gonna confront the taxi driver. And instead of apologising, the taxi driver very nonchalantly just drove back to the right track and drove off sia! O.O

Ok the end.

I reached home at 0530 hours, but is heading out now at 0830 hours!

I’ve been awake since 2011! HAHA! Beat that!

Good morning!

HELLO HOLIDAY!

Don’t expect any entries in two weeks k?

I’ll try make it up to you when I’m back!

(Making up in terms of blogging to satisfy any hunger you have for my entries.  Don’t be expecting souvenirs, please. I know I mentioned I’ll be shopping up a storm, BUT IT’D BE FOR ME, NOT YOU. HAHAHAHAHA! Ok bye!)

There was a time when receiving even the most insignificant message from you would have been simply incredible — when it would have told me that, no matter what was happening, I still crossed your mind. Because as we all know, silence is the most brutal statement one can make. Screaming about how much you hated me or telling me I was ugly, well, it would have been tolerable. Hate and love are two sides of the same coin; the true opposite of love is apathy. And if you had screamed, I would have known that regardless of how hard you tried to convey your disdain for me, I still meant enough to you to write a few words, to make your sentiments known. But you remained silent, and so I shut up as well.
