We always said we dun have enough time in a day. We wish we have 48 hours per day instead of 24 hours. But given with all the time, did we treasure the time we have or just it slip through our fingers? How much time we wasted on doing irrelevant things, going into unnecessary details. Randy Pausch wrote "The Last Lecture" for his children. Sadly, he passed away on 25th July 2008 but he wasted no time to do the unnecessary. He chooses to save that 10 - 15mins of arguing with the cashier to refund his $16 plus double-charge receipts for other more important things, things that matter. As I read, it reflected on us including myself, how often we neglect or fall short to see what's the important things and get all too occupied with the small details in our lives.
Time is all you have. And you may find one day that you have less than what you think.
Treasure Time.

Time
All Dogs go to Heaven
Today I received devastating verdict for Furry Boy. Though the case for Furry Boy didn't hit me as bad as previously with Woof Boy, it was nevertheless extremely heart-wrenching and upsetting. And so I was discussing with Vetty Ace with regards to Furry Boy's condition and talking about Euthanasia for Animals. I thank Woof boy for teaching me how to love and to love; for teaching me to treasure time and to appreciate quality time instead of quantity time.
Woof boy's condition came with a timeline which he didn't make it even half. Though rightfully, he should be suffering under his condition, Woof Boy never stop telling how much he loves us and reciprocate our love and tenderness for him. Believe me, I could hear and feel every word that transcribed in Woof boy's mind.
The thing about animal is they have a very high threshold for suffering and pain and they dun give up at all even when we persistently challenge their faith and loyalty. They gave their heart and soul wholeheartedly and they live only and only for us. Too many a times, we use our own judgement and expectation against them. Too often, owners gave up a pet so easily out of convenience and excuses. Actually they are so easily satisfied and always so forgiving no matter how little attention you gave them. Their little tails will still be there wagging and wagging for you.
That's the part about animals... and the reason behind why all Dogs can go to heaven while humans cant.
Furry Boy is not going to die today, he wont die the next day, or the day after that, or the day after that. So today right now, i will have him in my arms and spent a wonderful day.
Mummy loves you, Furry Boy!!

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...

Compost VS Compote
Time really flies when you are with good company...
Well, i would have really wish the night can be a little longer and the hours can be stretched a little bit longer...
Thanks Sammie for invitation, space, dinner and drink. Her place was really breathe-taking and the food was superb. It was ever so nice to see her giving her girlish little giggle as she introduces each item of her home. Well well well, the woman with the 200 over pairs of shoes, I think you did a great job to organise your home. Looking forward to our next round next month. heehee!
Well, our cutie couple, Smurfette and Handy were in their usual bickering over Compost (poultry manure) and Compote when Papa Smurf was introducing his home-made dessert. Well, Well it should be Fruit Compote which is a cooked fruit dessert which combines an assortment of fruits and a rich, thick syrup. We had a thrill fun with catching up and in guessing the secret ingredients for the syrup for Papa Smurf's fruit compote.
So glad to also found out that Sammie is also a drinker like Moi and thus more opportunities for us to gather together and drink till heart content. Kekekeke!
Brewerkz ReRevisited
The thing about dinning at Brewerkz, you never get "tired" with the atmosphere...good beer, junk food (translated as high calorie, unhealthy but irresistibly tasty food) and good company. For a gang of three, we had...
(Cheddar cheese, bacon and ranch dressing for dipping)
(Spicy minced pork sauce served over spaghetti)
Dinner .... NICE!
Beer .... NICE!
Company .... SUPER NICE!!

Mixed identity
Because I uploaded Little Aka and Twinny's photos on facebook. This morning, I received a surprise message...
Hi Twin1, very surprised that you are already married and now a mother! Really very happy for you! Deep heartfelt congrats to you!
And I was perplexed as to why on earth makes that someone thinks that I got married and had a little daughter... then I laughed myself off because Twinny and I look the same, and most probably that someone had mistaken that photo to be me instead of Twinny. Wahahahahaha! Whatever!! =P
But then I ain't going to do any explanation... yup yup yup!!
Think what you like... it doesn't bother me at all, not even a teeny weeny. =P

The Celebration
The celebration for little aka's first month....
Mummy woke up early to go get the famous ang ku kuehs from bedok north street 3 and instructed the confinement auntie to make red eggs for little aka. Ang Ku Kuehs are usually given out during Baby's first month to symbolise prosperity (ang - red) and long life (ku - tortoise).

The First Month
Happy First Month, sweetheart!!
For All Carnivores
This is a haven for all meat lovers!! They only serve the salad buffet at S$26+++ or the meat (include the salad buffet) at S$42+++. Yamcha was sharing that the restaurant actually offers 14 different kinds of meat cut but I think we only managed to "survive" for 7 - 8 meat cuts. Hahahaha! I understand from the rest of the gang that the beef was really juicy and tender but alas i dun take beef lor. So very the loogi!! Anywhere I still enjoyed the dinner tremedously because the meat was very well grilled, roasted, cut and fresh. They even served cut pineapples...which I didn't like too much. kekekee! Bulma and ChiChi tried their chicken liver and ChiChi felt it tasted yucky.. anywhere, food is a personal preferences.
But we were full of praise for the lamb, beef, chicken tigh and ham. And dun miss out the well-spread salad bar. They have beetroot, deep-fried mushroom, jackfuit salad, fried banana, fried crispy vegetable and many more. It was really nice. Moi and ChiChi were taking heaps and heaps of the salad... Shy ChiChi even commented if we were ...er...too greedy. Aiyoh!! It's buffet, right? Kekekeke! Well, the highlight is the starter - a light creamy cheese bread (pao de queijo) with a hole in then centre for putting different exotic sauce. Really yummy!!
Goku and ChiChi brought a little surprise - Gohan (5mths) along...it was so exciting to see him. He was so adorable, smiling at all the pretty lasses (ahem...including Moi...) at the table. ^_-)
The service was excellent! All the staffs were very friendly and came over to our table from time to time to chat and joke with us. They even took the initiative to help make little Gohan more comfortable by up the air-con temperature and in creating a cosy space for Gohan. Really warm service.

9 August 2008
This year national day is just like the other national day... we have been celebrating so for a good few times. I am used to sitting at the balcony and viewing the spectacular fireworks outside.
I am used to spreading the food all over the table and watching tv and caught the live fireworks at the same time. I am used to his big laughters and her thoughtfulness.
Definitely will miss her butajiru...

SUN and MOON
So I met the chirpy SUN and the icy MOON for din din @ Sun with Moon. So the chirpy SUN was telling us that she just got diagnose as a case of mild scoliosis; and that how she is going to undergo some therapeutic exercises. In case you dun recall, the scoliosis is the S-curve backbone where all of us were send for detection when we were in secondary or primary school. I still remember that I was singled out for mild scoliosis and poor mummy had to bring me all the way to some uru government clinic to take x-ray and examination.
Icy MOON wasn't in a usual chirpy self, much quieter as she stands in the junction of her career and love. Well, Moi could understand how she feels being too, standing at a cross junction in my career right now. Mid-life crisis? I aint sure. Had a little walk with BreadParpas this evening and I asked if he felt sad with the outcome.. he nodded and heaved a big sigh. Yup...that's with the matter fact of life. We cant do much... Sigh.
Din Din was nice though... we had...
