Colorful shots kill
Night out at Clarke Quay with Bianca, Sandy and their friends from Taiwan and Japan. I didn't know anyone else except the 2 of them, so it was super boring for me. =(
Pictures anyway:










My almost-finished mojito (I love it):

Bianca ordered these shots called "Amazing Race":

Colourful but so deadly. I didn't touch it. No desire to. They looked disgusting. *shudders* And according to Bianca, they were gross. Lucky me!
B's huge-ass mustard ring from H&M (and my very old, hence very disgusting gelish nail polish that have since grown out):

Supper was at........... TADA:

All my favourite food (well, except maybe for the satay)!:



3 girls going to Newton Food Centre in the dead of the night (3plus am) is not a good idea. LOTS of perverts having late-night beers staring at us, and weirdos. One man came up to our table, sat next to me and said, "Sawadeekup." Me and my friends just stared at each other, trying to ignore him. I was trying hard not to bolt because I really hate weird people like these. Plus he was sitting right next to me! After awhile he said, "Sorry." And then he moved away to another table and went to sleep. ......?????!!!?!??!?!?!?!!!! MAD.
Ending off with a picture of Bianca, all touristy before we shared a cab home:

I didn't get drunk that night. I was planning to get high at least, but I yawned more than I drank. =/ In fact, the mojito was the only drink I had. NEXT TIME!
*P.S: Seriously girl, don't say I'm "childish" when you're exhibiting the actions of a fucking baby. Do you even realise how stupid you sound and look? I seriously hate it when people act all gungho behind the computer but then in person, they become a fucking mouse. Don't pretend, please. It's dis-gus-ting. Your whole person, inside and out, is sickening. Each time you try one of your little tricks, I just keep wondering, "IS THAT REALLY THE BEST YOU CAN COME UP WITH???" And then I chuckle to myself because we all know your answer is "yes". Always. So why? Why keep trying??? Really so damn free is it????? LOL. When I say "GROW UP", I'm not just talking about your height, okay. *shakes head* How do they say it in The Parent Trap? OH RIGHT:

Evil in the world
You know how they say human beings are most innocent and pure at birth, because we are untainted by the evil and temptations of the world? There is black and white, and with good, comes evil. I have no idea when the world became this twisted, but I suppose if you are more or less on the right track in your upbringing, you'd be fine. There is always the temptation in the midst of it all, and that's when we ask ourselves, "Is it right? Should I do this?"
I might sound biased when I say this, but that is because I have this love for animals. And that is why I say people should treat them good. If you are not an animal lover, you don't have to agree with me. It's perfectly okay. BUT, I'm sure you definitely don't see the need to abuse/torture them either, right? If you have the least bit of compassion in you, you will know to leave them alone and leave them be.
Not this particular bunch of drunk minors in Bosnia, who did this to Vucko the German Shepherd:

They tied a rocket/firecracker into his mouth, and the above is the end result. Vucko was put to sleep after 5 days.
A couple of years back, I watched a video of a bunch of teenagers dousing a dog with petrol, and then setting it on fire. They cornered the dog, laughing away. And while they were drenching the dog in petrol, it was hopping about, probably thinking, "Oh yes! Play-time!" Or maybe it was trying to escape. I don't know. But when it was set on fire, its cries were so heartbreaking, I can still hear them in my head. Even until now. I had nightmares for 2 weeks, and I told myself I will never watch things like these again. But I only happened to see the above picture by accident, when I opened up my Facebook and it was first in my friend's feed. I got a complete shock, and then I burst into tears. I shared the article, and made several of my friends cry too. This is one of the worst abuse cases I've come across. It's just so ugly, so evil and so... I don't know, I have no words for this horror.
I don't know how old these minors are, but I don't believe there should be an excuse for their atrocious behaviour. If they are allowed to continue growing up without any supervision or proper upbringing, I am almost positive they will turn into psychotic murderers. There is NO EXCUSE for behaving this way. Vucko was somebody's pet. Even if he wasn't, he's still made of flesh and bone. Just like us. Flesh will hurt. Why are these perpetrators allowed to abuse him this way and get away with it? How would they like it if a firecracker was taped to their mouths? Why haven't they asked themselves these questions??? Or have they, and yet still did it anyway??
Ugly things like these happen all over the world, everywhere. The rescue work is never-ending. I've heard the most horrific stories, seen the most horrific videos and pictures. And all they do is get me angry, make me feel completely helpless and powerless. I can't save them all. I get it. I can't. And I also know animal abusers will exist as long as the world exists.
I am not a vegetarian. I eat pork, mutton, fish, beef, chicken. If you made me sit in a slaughterhouse and served me fresh meat after a slaughter, I would not eat it. I feel uncomfortable even sitting in a seafood restaurant and having all these lobsters and fish swimming in their tanks, knowing that they will end up on somebody's plate just like how they ended up on mine. Ignorance is definitely bliss. But for some reason, I cannot turn a blind eye to dog abuse. Why would the saying, "A dog is a man's best friend." be so popular, if it weren't true to an extent? This the way you treat your best friend? I cannot believe it. I cannot accept it.
There is no point ranting and raving about how angry we are at these animal abusers or at stupid kids who "didn't know better". Maybe they did. Maybe they just wanted to do it. Yes, they're assholes, they shouldn't be left to wander this Earth if they could do this to poor defenseless animals, I would kill them with my bare hands and go to jail myself, etc. But the world is unfair, and they ARE assholes and they ARE wandering this Earth doing evil things to innocent animals. The only thing we can do, is to HELP THE ANIMALS. Protect them from harm the best way you can. You have no time, but you have money. You don't have money, but you have compassion. You have something. You WILL find something. They need help.
Please help. :'(((
Vucko didn't deserve this at all, but I believe he is in a better place now with no pain, no crazy evil people out to get him.
Rest In Peace, lovely boy.

Grooming for Jumbo
Usually when I go over to Joyce's grooming salon, it's to hang out with her and the dogs. Sometimes I help out, bugging her to teach me how to do this/that. I do the simple basic grooming like shampooing, drying, nail-cutting and ear-cleaning. Joyce wields her pair of trusty scissors and grooms each dog to perfection. The only times I'd ever tried my hand at the shaver, it was on her own dogs (when they were still puppies). Joyce has never made me feel like I was in the way, and she would always readily agree to teach me how to do certain things and WHY I should do it that way. I swear one day I am going to sit down and focus on this pet-grooming business without any distractions (not even the worry of being broke without a full-time job).
So my last visit was a little different, because Jumbo came along for his grooming. You never realise just HOW BAD a dog is in need of grooming until you see the "before" and "after", do you? Like I've stressed countless times before, Jumbo doesn't belong to me. Sadly, the owner he does belong to doesn't really take care of him fully. This was how he looked like, the morning before he was off to the grooming salon:
:/ I guess "scruffy" would be an understatement in this sense.
Bundled him and my mum into a cab, and arrived at Joyce's in the afternoon. The moment I stepped in, all the dogs started barking their heads off as usual. And once my back was turned, there was a freakin' loud crash. Turned back to find this catastrophic scene:
=.= The whole basket of grooming tools that was left atop a cage fell off when one of the dogs started going berserk upon spotting me.
Before sending him to the shower, Joyce tried to comb out the tangles in Jumbo's fur but it was too difficult. Hell, his fur was so tangled up that even Joyce had trouble running the shaver through. She had to use a big one. So much for keeping his fur long. It was an almost complete shave-down:
Jumbo was terrified, of course. Especially when he was placed in the bathtub for his shower. He looks really pathetic soaked!:
While Joyce's colleague gave Jumbo his shower, Joyce set upon working on this Japanese Spitz her customer brought in:
Check out how much of a perfectionist Joyce can be when it comes to trimming!:
See those sores on the Spitz's body? Yeah, hate people who don't take care of their dogs properly.
Me, I let this standard poodle out of her cage to play! HAHAHA. Her name is Bella!!!!!:
To be honest, all the poodles I've met before were really mini. Jumbo is a poodle, and he's really small compared to Bella, of course. She is the first one I can actually hug with my arms spread wide. And she also has a pink ribbon clip on her ear! LOL. That's too cute. Me and Bella, the girly dog. ^_^:

One of the random dogs there I took a picture of... Couldn't help but notice him because he kept yipping!:
Lo and behold, Jumbo's fur after he was blasted with the dryer:
LOLOLOLOLLL!!!! His fur totally went boomz! And you see him panting so hard because he kept struggling. Not used to the surroundings = panic mode.
You can see how messy his fur is without proper grooming:
Joyce working her magic on Jumbo:
At the end of it all, Jumbo turned out looking just as smart as I expected him to be! Look how rounded his paws are! LOL:
Final result, with doggy perfume spray and all:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. SUPER DUPER ROUND! Told you Joyce was good! ;)
At the end of the day, all that struggling and panicking totally took its toll on him....:
It was well worth it, really! Just put the "before" and "after" pictures side-by-side and you'd see what I mean!:
You don't know how much of an upkeep a dog like Jumbo needs, with grooming and all. And he's already so tiny. Imagine a large breed that needs grooming every month. So, this is one of the reasons stupid people abandon their dogs because they don't realise how much of a commitment it is to send their dog for grooming. You don't just consider the "cute factor" when buying a dog, I can't stress that enough. And adopting is always a better option, remember that. Lots of poor dogs looking for a loving home out there. Give them a second chance. They all deserve one. <3

Da photos in da phone
Promised I would share. Picture post in chronological order!
Random shot in the taxi after lunch, where me and my colleagues had to grab a taxi back to the office because it was raining and we missed the transport:

Alley Bar with Winnie
Had 2 glasses of wine in the evening, after dinner at Ramen Ten.


It was on this day that I bumped into my cousin and her friends outside H&M. And my cousin totally snubbed me because she is the kind to hold grudges against her own, just because she cannot accept it when people point out her flaws to her. So Claudia Lee, if you see this, maybe you should be honest with yourself and ask the friends around you if they feel you are treating them like dirt. Because that's what I hear from them. Each and every one. Then again, maybe they will be too scared of you to admit that you are in fact, treating them like dirt. I have never met anyone as spoilt. The kind where people just shake their heads and have nothing to say because it's ultimately ridiculous, know what I mean? Along the way to admitting your flaws, maybe you should also admit that you shouldn't have tried out for SQ with those braces, and then get all pissed at them because you got rejected. HAHA.
Random lunch at Old Airport Road
Cookie and his friends at the farm
Dropped by the neighbourhood pet store before the farm visit and came across this FAT, FAT cat:
Reminds me of muah chee.
The Golden Retriever with the aura of a lion:
New puppy in the house, rescued from Kranji:
Another new puppy, result of an accidental mating between a Jack Russell Terrier and a black poodle:
Stuck at the farm on a rainy day:

Best prawn noodles, ever:
Bedok 85 dinner with Amelia and Ee Xuan

Ah Balling peanut soup:
Another Bedok 85 dinner with Ee Xuan




Oyster omelette and century egg porridge is LOVE:
Random shot of the coins I saved up since forever. $130 worth of them here that I had to change into notes because I was running out of cash in my bank account. =(:

That's not counting the $1 and 50-cent coins I previously changed too.
Momoya with Hamizah


Picture effects look weird because we were experimenting with the app.
Lunch and shopping in town with Constance
On a WEEKDAY. Luxurious. Bet you didn't expect to see me in town on a weekday, or at all? SUCK IT, LOSER. =) I detest people who act all big behind something, whether it's the computer or another person. Tells a lot about their.....
$9 roasted duck rice - fucking daylight robbery:
Constance, who met up with me in her Chanel shades and her Chanel earrings and....:
.... Chanel slippers for shopping, really?!:
Oh well, at least they're all THE REAL DEAL. I know of someone who would carry paper bags with a certain brand on it, and place their barang-barang inside, trying to fool everyone that she went shopping at the boutique. The paper bag doubled as her "shoulder bag". It really amuses me how some people covet brands to this extent. I mean, forget it if you carry fakes already. But paper, really??? What happens if it rains, I wonder? I guess it's SCOTCH-TAPE TO THE RESCUE!!!!!! LOL! Sigh.... Some people just subject themselves to ridicule again and again and again. Something must be really wrong. I reckon it's delusion. It's a mystery.



I always marvel at how Conz can be so pretty with her high forehead and perfect skin. And how she has this waif body of a girl (not woman) and cannot get fat no matter how much she eats. Landed this girl a possible modeling contract in LA through my friend Scott. Legit! They are managing Laura Kirkpatrick from America's Next Top Model Cycle 13 and America's Next Top Model All Stars as well:

SUPER GORGEOUS. :O I LOVE LAURA! And I can't wait to meet her, should the chance arise! The West likes the look Constance has, don't they...? I mean, slit eyes and Asian and stick-thin??? LOL. I wish I could go too, even though Scott did urge me to try out the last time I was there. But I was scared. HAHA. I still am! LA is not Singapore!
Got her to pass me my backordered items from The Closet Lover as well (waited a whole 2 months for 'em!):

Finally, a decent pair of red high-waist shorts in good quality (not the kind of fake PU leather in a shitty cut that makes you look like you're wearing adult diapers) and pleated to boot. The belt was FOC from a random salesgirl at Far East Plaza. Haha. We were shopping around in this store and the salesgirl was really friendly. She gave Constance that belt to pair with a clothing item she was trying on, and I asked her if she had an extra one for sale. She said it wasn't for sale 'cos it's the last piece and it was broken. Then she offered it to me for free. I took it because the damage could be fixed! Free belt to match my outfit yo. LOL.
Chwee kueh from my boss, and the snacks I bought for myself at the office:
Weight loss (as of 26 November 2011):


Target: 45kg.
And last but not least (for now), lazying at home with Jumbo on a rainy day:

Brought that dog for grooming at Joyce's the other day. It was good seeing Joyce again, and also making friends with all those dogs in the grooming salon. It's the only place I can treat like my own (the rest of the people have to stand outside and watch), just because the groomer is my friend! =P Will update in another post real soon. ♥
