My dog is very sick :(

I feel so drained, so tired today. My dog is very sick. Its 11 years old, it`s old enough to be a grandpa. I have had him with me since i was 11. When he first came he was only 6 weeks old, very small, very curious and playful. My sister named him david, but its a human`s name. So we got him another name, that is vacuum. However he prefers the name david, so he is always david to us. We have had a good 11 years with him. He is smart and very playful. He loves poking his nose around, he loves outings. When he was young, he was very very active, always finding opportunity to sneak out of the house to play. He got lost once but we found him back. He quitely become notorious among my neighbours as he would run ard in the corridor and even sometimes into their houses looking for ppl to play with him. Its quite a sight with my dog running as fast as it could with me and my sister after it trying to stop him by pouncing on him. Years passed, it lost it`s sight due to cataract. However it is still active for its age. Partially blind, he sniffs its way ard the house. Sometimes when it is excited, it runs ard and bangs into furniture with a loud tud!!! With age his taste for food changes as well, no longer does he like beef, he now likes to eat oranges, apples and certain vegetable. It has turned vegetarian...hmmmmm ???
Recently we brought him to stay at the pet hotel, as my mother is going overseas for holiday. When he came back, he was a sorry sight. He is a shadow of his old self, sitting quietly hunched in one corner. When we tried to talk to it, it jus sat there head down, looking at u. It feels so heartbreaking. His face is lumpy and he has lumps on his legs as well. He walks in a very painful manner, inch by inch, all the while with his head hanging low. We brought it to the vet. They did an x-ray and a blood test on it. They said that they will tell us the results the next day. When he came back he seemed to be slightly better. However it still doesn`t eat or drink. He still looks to be in pain, but its happy to be home again. He must have been really homesick when he was staying at the pet hotel. His eyes have a lot of dried deposits around, so i guess it must have been crying alot. I really hope that his will be fine. Dogs can live up till 15 years, some even up to 18. Please, please don`t let it leave us so soon.......

Tired!!!!!!!!!

i typed an entry into this post but somehow upon hitting the publish button everthing jus disappeared. Whatever the hell happened to the text??? It`s abt going to sentosa via cable car to play golf and later to Shiyu`s house to stay over together with WX and Derrick. Tired manz...... Lazy to type everything again so jus leave it.

Brotherhood

Watched brotherhood today. Hmmmm interesting to see the Korean War from the korean`s perspective instead of the usual American one. Guess most of the koreans at the war front on either side during that time were unwilling conscripts being drafted to fight a war which idealism in which it is being fought upon was unknown or little known to them. War is really such a terrible thing i guess. Those conscripts at the war front, most of them also did not really know what they are fighting for. I do realised something to, when it comes to war, soldiers don`t fight for their country, they fight to protect their love ones, their wives and families that are in danger, their comrades fighting side by side with them. That is their motivation for fighting on. I mean, when u see people dying around u, bullets whizzing pass your head, who the hell gives a damn on what politics, what idealism, what medaks, what country???????? ( Opps.... national day coming ah .... ) U just want to survive today and tomorrow and the day after... For this movie, its kinda touching how much this guy can do for his brother. Great movie i must say, just ignore the exagerating parts like him charging towards an MG with little fire support. hmmmmm........... movies will always be movies. In real life, gung ho also must gung ho smartly .....charging straight towards the enemy can only mean a bullet ridden body and a war medal. So if all these are for real, who are the really brave one? The selfless ones? I guess no one can tell unless one is thrown into the battlefield

Pancake flipper

Tried a hand at making pancakes today. It was a rather terrible experience i guess. First i couldn`t find the measuring cylinder to guage how much water i need to add to the powdered stuff from the " Pancake Mix, just add water " box. So in the end i just put everything in a jug and just estimate the water needed. I think, i think it turned out right coz after battering it is smooth. So i found a pan, added a tat too much oil on it and it ended up sizzling. And when i pour the pancake mix on it, it started sizzling everywhere, splurting oil and and everything all over the place. I was soooo damn panic man ....off the fire and stand far away from that all the hell break loose pan..... holding that wooden cooking ladel like a mad man, hoping to defend myself from whatever the hell gonna break loose. Later i learned that i shouldn`t put so much oil and that i only need to on a small fire to cook and not the largest flame i got earlier!!!!!!!! I thought the bigger the flame the faster it cooks mah ......... no wonder my first few pancakes all " chao tar " ( badly burnt black ) It looks like leather from an old rotting wallet :( After making many failed pancakes ( some are flower shaped, some black, some raw, some jus a mess of dunno what ), I finally got one right. Erm...... at least its almost golden brown ( Bronze dark brown to be exact ) and it`s ROUND!!!!!! U know how damn difficult it is to make your goddamn pancake round????? YES.......ROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmm....not bad ....first attempt ...no fire, no explosions, no fatality, no disasters! : ) When i am finally done, took alot of washing up as every little thing seems to like to stick to the pan.
Later i brought it to sormui and showed her my great masterpiece, the round pancake. Erm......think it took some difficulty to actually eat it. hahahah... erm .......act honestly speaking i think i make one got no taste eh ...........

Moral of the story ????????? save the trouble and just go Mcdonalds before 11am and order hotcakes : )

American Pie

I am simply in love with this song " American Pie " by Don Mclean. Yes this song is originally written by him, NOT madonna. It is written in memory of Buddy Holly, who died in a plane crash in 2nd Feburary 1959 due to a snowstorm. The same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly also took the lives of Richie Valens ("La Bamba") and The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace"). Since all three were so prominent at the time, February 3, 1959 became known as "The Day The Music Died". Its a song with rather sad lyrics...............


A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile and I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while but February made me shiver with every paper I delivered, bad news on the door step, I couldn't take one more step, I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride but something touched me deep inside, the day, the music, died. So...

CHORUS
Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry an them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye singin this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die.

Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above, if the bible tells you so, and do you believe in rock n' roll, can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well I know that you're in love with him cuz I saw you dancin in the gym you both kicked off your shoes and I dig those rhythm and blues. I was a lonely teenage bronkin buck with a pink carnation and a pick up truck but I knew I was out of luck, the day, the music, died. I started singin...

Chorus

Now for ten years we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rollin stone but that's not how it used to be, when the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me, oh and while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown the courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned, and while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park and we sang dirges in the dark, the day, the music, died. We were singin...

Chorus

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin fast, its the land that falled on the grass the players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast, now the half-time air was sweet perfume while the sergeants played a marching tune we all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance oh as the players tried to take the field the marching band refused to yield do you recall what was revealed, the day, the music, died. We started singin...

Chorus

Oh and there we were all in one place, a generation lost in space with no time left to start again, so come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle stick because fire is the devils only friend, oh and as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clinched in fists of rage, no angel born in hell could break that satan's spell and as the planes climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial right I saw satan laughing with delight, the day, the music, died. He was singin...

Chorus

I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news but she just smiled and turned away, I went down to the sacred store where I'd heard the music years before but the man there said the music wouldn't play and in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried, and the poets dreamed but not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken and the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, they caught the last train for the coast, the day, the music, died, and they were singin...

Chorus

They were singin... Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry an them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye singin this will be the day that I die.
