this week passed pretty fast because there was loads to do at work. i can't believe i had to work overtime on a friday! the bunnies are currently at bran's place. when we bought them about 4 weeks ago, bran commented they were like a computer mouse. i would place my hand on them like i would on a mouse and slide them around the parquet floor when they refused to move. their furry paws make it so easy to slide them around. they have grown so much ever since. i'm beginning to suspect if the pet shop lied about them being dwarves. hmm..

a hamster died mysteriously yesterday. sigh..they were all fine when i left my house, but by the time i got home it had already been mutilated by the other hamsters. i have no idea what happened..it had probably suffered from internal injuries because it had been whimpering like a dog everytime it was squeezed by the other hamsters.

pasta

i got up early today, went to the market with my dad =), ironed the clothes, played the piano and went off to bran's for a pasta dinner. yum yum, aunty nancy makes great pasta. on my way back, i boarded the feeder bus and saw bran cycling very fast on his $500 bike (which i can't pedal because my legs are too short). bran was chasing after the bus i was in. silly boy... =)

midweek

it's wednesday! yay! bran baby met me for lunch today and waited for 4 and a half hours for me to come home with me. i hadn't expected him to wait for me, i thought he had gone home since he was lugging his soprano sax and he had been awake since 5pm yesterday. he's sleeping soundly beside me now =) the bunnies are always so excited when bran is around, because bran will rest them on his tummy and stroke them till they fall asleep. i barely have time to even pat them.

i'm spending too much on lunches! each lunch costs between $5-$10. too bad for me because we're reluctant to get lunch from golden shoe. too hot and crowded there. soon i'll have to bring yesterday's leftovers to the office.

project runway now!

sore legs and arms

it's been a busy busy week. bran sent me to work on friday and waited 3 and a half hours for me to have lunch with me. thankie bran.

cathay's sales and marketing department had an picnic + bbq outing today at sentosa. they had said they would meet us at 8.30am (!! that's like going to work) at tanjong beach, and all of them arrived at 9am. hmm...some of them brought their families along, and it's heartwarming to see that the department is very closeknit. a colleague even had to take half a day off to prepare the food. we played captain's ball, volleyball and musical chairs. this is beginning to sound like a primary school story-writing....story. i barely did anything but my arms and legs are so sore.

buns

My lappy finally collapsed after serving me faithfully daily for 2 and a half years. I got it back from the repairman but had to wait till my bro returned from taiwan to connect me to the net, and my previous hard disk is dead. I managed to retrieve all my files and my dad insisted the guy replace the dead one with a 80GB hard disk. I am barely using 4GB now! Soo…

happy 5 years anniversary bran! this is a week late but I still want to announce it. –beams- the pet shop called on Tuesday to let us know the bunnies have arrived. We jet down to the pet shop and got ourselves a brown dwarf and a light grey mini lop. I still have the tendency to call them hammy. They’re currently at my place since I have the cage from the previous rabbit which hopped to our door 10 years ago. They will be moved to bran’s place soon. Bran was so excited about them he was at my house for 3 days.

love-love!

don't ask me why the lop's ears are like that...

My days as an intern at cathay pacfic has started on Wednesday and I’m pretty excited about what they have in store for us. The 4 of us will have to start working on a campaign next week. I don’t think I can divulge much here but I’m enjoying myself there, sans the mrt and lunch crowd at raffles place. Sometimes they make really silly jokes, but I figured I would look silly laughing to myself, so I would look over to weili or christine hoping to find someone to laugh with, but they won’t raise their heads! weili says she did the same, we probably tried looking over at different times, or I’m too short.

airforce open house 2006

oooh..airforce open house 2006 was...similar to what it was 3 years ago. but the aerial display was rousing. actually it was almost the same as what they had presented 3 years ago, but i still loved it. in fact, everything was parallel to the previous open house except this time my dad visited the open house with bran and i, and bran had duties there this time. he was helping out at the syfc booth.

that's us 3 years ago, bran was so skinny then

bran

bran on...i forgot

bran on the apache

that's bran and my dad, where did my dad get that cap from

i had to wake up at 6am to pass bran my camera because he wanted to capture his flight from seletar airbase to paya lebar airbase. possibly the shortest flight ever. heehee, i think that's so silly. but it saved him lots of trouble getting in. we had to queue in the hot sun to get past the security, wait under the sun again for the GOH to arrive and make some speech before we could get in, and walk a distance to get to the exhibits and grand stand while bran just plopped himself inside.

bran and i just took about half an hour to finish all the exhibits while my dad spent 4 hours scrutinising all the exhibits. bran had to help out from 12 to 4 so i bought myself 2 books from the SAF officers' wives club and read them while waiting for my dad. he headed for the jacuzzi pool right after we reached home.

lop lops

a couple of days ago, bran popped by the pet shop a jurong point and fell in love with a lop-eared rabbit. he described it as love at first sight (heehee), and he was very heartbroken when a couple bought it while he was on the phone with me contemplating whether to get it. so after exams, we checked out a couple of pet shops but coincidentally, all their lop-ears were sold out.

holland lop

look isn't it adorable! we played with some bunnies at the usual pet shop and it would just seat itself comfortably on our palms while we stroke it. anyone knows where to get the lop-ears? mini lop, dwarf lop, holland lop, any lop except english lops.

english lop

sunday

i woke up especially early today to deliver bran's sample papers right to his doorstep. i left my house without breakfast, took a bus down to bukit panjang plaza to buy bran's favourite sushi and panadol. by the time i got home i was too tired to do anything.

i have always enjoyed watching my hamsters' lifes go by. today, when they sat on their butts to clean themselves again, i called my mom over to look at how fat they are. i could even see the multiple layers of flesh on them. and my mom said 'yah loh, like owner like pet. all got big butts.' humphf.

friday

i woke up to a hurting neck after a 13-hours sleep this afternoon. i'm in agony. i can't turn my head to the right. my mom attributed it to my long sleeping hours and shrimp-sleeping posture.

bran has fallen ill. it is no wonder. he went out cycling at the wee hours till 6am yesterday morning and he had a paper yesterday. he only woke up at 7pm today. bran always took care of me whenever i'm ill. papa is not home tonight, my brother is back in camp. i couldn't possibly leave my mom alone at home. i'm feeling really guilty..

argh..i don't think i can get down to study. the sims is so addictive. all my 5th-generation sims gave birth to twins and now i have too many sims to handle.

Team France

Team France's fireworks display was spectacular! in fact i felt it was better than National Day's!

i returned to school for the SIP Launch this morning, returned home and met bran to watch fireworks in the evening. taking bus service 700 would usually take us 30 mins to reach town from the terminus, but today it took us more than an hour. the bus took half an hour just to get from Tangs to SICEC. we decided to alight there instead of waiting it to turn to esplanade and we scampered all the way to marina square. the display started just as we got a spot with an okay view.

i love their display! sometimes, it looked like the sky was showering the earth with golden dust, at other times it looked like meteor showers. i particularly liked the very colourful one which looked like floating flowers raining down on the land. at times when they have a lot going on, especially the finale, it just made me euphoric. ever realized that looking at beautiful things make us happy too?

i caught singapore's and what's that country? new caledonia? displays from home. singapore's was...predictable. the same gold coconut head and some red balls. new caledonia's was very disappointing. where did that country pop up from anyway?

how time flies, it's mid-august already.

i am so carefree these days, i have absolutely no discipline to sit down and do any work. uh, i know there's not alot of work to begin with. i know i have to start going through the presentation again, i have to prepare for calculus lecture and i have to write some silly reflection. usually i would have started on my tasks the first thing after dinner. but there's so much time to waste that, i don't know when i should start doing my work. i hate it when i'm not in control of myself. the only thing that motivates me to wake up now is controlling my sims.

i can see the fireworks from my place, with the help of a good pair of binoculars of course. somehow, i miss seeing the military planes from my old place. bran would rush out to the balcony everytime he hears a rumble. now, i can only hear them roar but they're no where in sight.

*gasp!

weili..any news from you..is bad news..i don't dig the idea of presenting to a large group. i really hope nobody turns up for lecture next week..really, really. i'm proud of our work, but we'll be presenting to the wrong audience. bran save me..

bran's brother had 2 tickets to the parade but aunty nancy and uncle billy wanted to go..so..bran and i just watched from the outside. so we made a trip down to marina to catch the flypast. the chinook was so near us when it was flying back! it was right above us! it seemed like i could reach the flag if i just stretched out my arms. the f16s were as impressive as usual.

i was so carefree the past week that i have almost forgotten that i needed to attend school today. i spent my time sleeping, playing sims 2, watching the hams live their silly lives, checked out online auctions, went out with bran whenever we could yadda yadda..ooh! anyway! check this out if you're a sim-fanatic. this in from diyang. yay yay! another sims expansion will be out in october. i can't wait!

of concert and mothers

bran's concert was brilliant! before friday, bran told me the concert would be on saturday so papa and i arranged to go down together. BUT! on friday, bran told me the concert was on sunday instead and HE JUST REALIZED THAT. sigh bran...papa couldn't make it on sunday night so after calling almost everyone who may be interested to go, bran had to call his mom on sunday afternoon so i would not have to go alone. poor aunty nancy, she had woken up at 3am to go to work, ended work at 3pm and had 4 and a half hours to while away before the concert. so she went on a shopping spree. she must have been very tired because i caught her napping during the concert =P.

i thought the idea of gathering all the bandies from the st andrews family was a great idea but...a 3-hour concert, isn't it a tad too long? the junior school band was so cute! the second half of the concert was definitely more intriguing than the first. the concert ended close to 11pm. by the time we got home it was already 12am; and poor aunty nancy had to wake up at 3 for work again. bad bran.

this morning, i heated up this piece of char siew-like meat my dad got from house of gourmet. my mom watched me from the stairs as i cut it up and put it in my mouth. it tasted bad and i 'blearghed' it out and told her it had turn bad. she said 'yeah, i knew.' but why didn't she tell me before i put it into my mouth! momma....

fwah!!

wahahaha! take a look at this piece of article!
bran..why did you say you want to fly an apache! what if they really take your word for it..

bran: wo bu yao apache
wo yao f-xi-liu (f16)

his lousy attempt in mandarin. heehee

"..dream a lil' dream of me.."

*gasp* i did the previous entry last night, and one statements roughly states that i wish to get married before i die. and i got married in my dreams. but wait! i dreamt that bran got me this gown


yes..it's cinderella's gown, complete with the hairstyle and the 2 'flaps' at the waist. it looked like some costume for some parade. bran told me in my dreams that, that was the best he could get me, because we're only poor students. was that supposed to be a pleasant dream?

i msged bran immediately after i woke up, and bran came over. that pig, he slept the whole afternoon away. have a great week ahead!

1 Thing That You Think Is Lacking

1. Bran's hugs.

yesterday and today have been rather unproductive. i went to bed right after dinner yesterday and slept till 12 noon today. i didn't turn up for bran's concert tonight either. i'm sorry..

when you are always the bearer of bad news, people sure ain't nice to you. even when the decision is not yours alone, others foolishly conjecture it to be, because you're always the one announcing it. and then there are the ones who prefer to be a humbug, a hypocrite, pretending to be nice to everyone, making him/herself appear to be the lamb which merely follows the herd; while s/he has joined the others in back-fence and malicious talk (of course the fools who think s/he is nice and all are oblivious to this).

when trouble crops up, everyone says 'i thought..i thought...' i shall teach you how to think then.

colourful zebras

we didn't agree to be stripey together.

weili, are you trying to smell me..
chai looks so happy

we look so spastic

i'm ill..

i was supposed to meet bran for xiaolongbaos last night but my stomach felt queasy and my body was aching, so bran very kindly sent me home. the last time i fell ill was last october.

i couldn't even sit up for dinner. after every mouthful of rice i would lie down to rest. bran brought me up to my bedroom to rest. i heard the main door open and close and i thought bran had left, since he told me he had to go home for the night. frankly, i was rather disappointed he couldn't stay. i slept until someone climbed onto my bed to stroke my hair..can you imagine how happy i was to see bran? i was filled with glee.. :)

he realised i was running a fever, gave me two panadols and i went back to sleep again. and bran bunked over last night. thank you bran :)
