Hi guys.. I'm back from a really short hiatus. A lot of things have happened in the last week. I almost lost myself. Well, i do not wish to talk about what happened. All I can say is that I've really learnt my lesson and will not repeat this stupid fault again. *SIGH* But then again, *YEAH*!
My little babies are already 17 days old. Here are their pictures:
I've took a few more pictures of them. But most of them turned out to be blurred. Reason being my camera is running low on battery and the little ones are running so quickly. *Faints* Their temperament are exactly like their parents. Being nippy and jumpy.. But they seem to look better than their parents. Haha.. No takers yet. Hmm.. I shall keep for myself then. =)

I'm now in school's lab waiting for my lesson to start. Guess it would be another 15 minutes before the lesson starts. At the beginning of the new semester, we were told that there will no longer be such a thing known as "LATE". 15 minutes late is equals to one absent. Not too bad I think, I am usually early. So I don't have to worry at all. =p
Today I went home during the break in between lessons, realised that my hamster has opened their eyes. Should find a chance to get the 4 little girls to sit side by side so that i can take a nice picture of them. I did something different today - I fed them water from the bottle and put them in the food dish (they are unable to reach into the food bowl). Lol~ One of my normal girl was really funny. She was sleeping when i carried her into the food dish. And in the food dish, she was STILL sleeping. Aiyo.. Reminds me of Cynthia Koh's role in Holland Village - always sleeping. For the time being, they've started to eat Nutriblocks, Almond nuts, peanuts, Coco's dog biscuits, Hobo's treats and sunflower seeds. Wonder if they have ate any of the green split beans. Geez~~ They're really cute.. Especially after their eyes have opened. From their eyes, it's as if you can see their feelings. =)
They've put a smile on me. :-)

To begin with.. Shall show off some pictures of my little hamster babies. =x
These little babies have grown this big, the credits should all be given to the mommy hamster - Almo. She's been really busy for the past 10 days. Building nest, nursing the babies, cleaning them and of course making sure she eats the most nutritive food in order to have healthy milk. I've been feeding her tofu, nutriblocks and many other food mixes that i bought. The whole bowl looks exactly like rojak. I'm really a kiasu granny. =X
Throughout the process of them growing up, everyone in my family would take their turns to peep into the tank to see how big they've grown. Keke.. My sanjie came over today and told her husband,"Hey, they've grown furs already leh!" Lol~ Even Mum who always discourage me of keeping hamsters "visits" the hamster babies too. =)
Sad to say, I can't keep any of the babies. I've posted my sales in a few forums. It's been a day and I've only got 2 replies. Val has already confirmed with me that she wants 1 pearl baby. Shall pass it to her this coming Friday. With my hammie in good hands, I'll be really at peace and don't have to worry about them being ill-treated. =)
Alright, yesterday Tommy and I went to East Coast for a rollerbladding session again. At first I was really slow. Guess that was a warm up for me. *EXCUSES* Haha.. I have a lot of excuses. Okay lah, I'm scared. Anyway, I managed to pick up speed after that. Towards the end of East Coast, an Auntie was cycling in front of me. I wanted to overtake her, but she kept blocking my way. I wonder if she did that on purpose. Anyway I was pretty frustrated with what she was doing. I go left, she goes left, i go right, she goes right. *Argh* Finally, there were 2 bicycles in the lane, side by side. I speeded up and rollerblade through the centre. That Auntie also did the same when i picked up speed. *_* She's mad. I don't want to compete with her. Her wheel is bigger than mine. Lol~
After we reached the end of East Coast, Tommy and I set a 15min target to reach Bedok Jetty, which is at the other end. We didn't managed to fulfill the target as my ankle has a blister. All thanks to my sis's rollerblade that cause friction with the socks.
Next, we headed to Bedok North Blk 85 to have our dinner. Spent the rest of our evening there with Guowei and another couple. =)

Haven't been blogging for a few days.
I saw a rainbow that day while travelling on Nicoll Highway. So nice.. It was a blurred one though. My brother saw it first. I got so excited when he said,"Hey! Got rainbow!" Haha.. I love rainbows. They make me feel happy. =)
Anyway, last weekend I went out with my Mum, sisters and brother to a few places. First to Cuiping's house, to Dajie's house, to Ying's house, last to Chinatown to look for my cousin. Cuiping has a 8-mth old daughter who looks so cute that i just wanna carry her here and there. Seriously, i don't mind baby sitting for Cuiping! Lol~ But well, perhaps Cuiping would mind! Cos i'm inexperience! =X Okay, anyway, her daughter loves to smile a lot and has a pair of very beautiful eyes. She don't cry when strangers carry her. Just laughing and smiling all the way. She really caught all our attention. When we were at Dajie's place, everyone sat around her, playing with her. Cuiping said,"When there's a baby in the house, all the adults become children once again." I really agree with her. =)
Having said so much about human babies, now it's my hamster babies' turn. They have grown up alot. I'll be compiling a set of photos of their growing process. Really nice to see them grow and grow each day. Their ears are protruding out and their furs can be seen. There are 2 pearl and 2 normal babies. Hope they will grow big and fat!

**Bad news**
Two of Almo's pups did not make it. They died on the 2nd day.. *Sigh*
I'll be going for facial at 4pm later. *Argh* Going there to be tortured!! I haven't been going there for at least 2 wks already. My complexion is going from bad to worse in just a matter of 2 wks.
Yesterday was 11th of the month. Tommy came to fetch me after his Major Project's meeting ended. When he reached my house, the skies had already darkened. Originally i wanted to cook something for him and get him cook something for me too. But guess we can only do this on the 24th month anniversary. We headed for S-11 at Blk 501 and met up with Guowei and Huijie. Tommy and I had Indian Rojak and Roti John. The Roti John really sucks.. Erm.. Actually it was the sauce that sucks. It tastes weird and made me wanna throw everything out.
After dinner, we went to Tampines Mall to walk around. Throughout the whole time, we kept bumping into someone we know. Lol~ Let me do a quick count. At least 6 of them.
Tommy got the sandals he wanted for just $19! Yeah! Good bargain! Hehe.. After which, we went to Jalan Kayu for Roti Prata. It was my first time to go there. Their prata were SO expensive! Cheese prata at $2 is okay. But banana prata at $4??? Chocolate prata at $5? Wah.. *Looks at Tommy's pocket* Poor Tommy.. Initially i wanted, 1 banana, 1 chocolate, 1 cheese and 1 onion. That was when i didn't know the price. Lol~ In the end i ate the banana one. Tasted very nice. The first time i ate banana prata was at Little India. Tasted just as nice too. Forgot the price already. Might just go back there again. =)
Okie.. Time's up. Gonna get prepared to go out now. Btw, that Photo Of The Day looks damn funny. Tommy just can't take a proper photo.. ^_^

My Almo gave me 6 little joys.. Reddish, wormy, wriggly, eyeless, earless with hands and feet waving in the air. I hope all of them will survive. *PRAYS HARD* Hmm.. Almond is separated from Almo as she is aggressive and protective over the babies. Hopefully i'll be able to re-introduce them after the babies are weaned. I've cooked some potato for her to eat as she needs a lot of nutritious food. All her nutrition has been given to the babies.
Nothing much happened today except for the little joys.. Feeling tired now. Luckily tomorrow's lesson is at 2pm, after that can go home liao. Okie.. That's all for today.

Today we went rollerbladding yet again. Wah.. I'm totally burnt out. So tired now cos we covered more distances today. I'm physically tired due to the exercise and mentally tired due to school.
Oh yah, before I forget, this afternoon we ate Duck rice at Blk 802 again. After that, Tommy, Wenqi, Shunhe, Eddie and I went to Tampines Mall to watch Twin Effect. What a lame show. Don't watch. Waste money. Lol~ It's a very unrealistic show.
After the show ended, we loitered around the mall for the next 2 hours. Went home to fetch my blade before we went rollerbladding.
Okay.. NEXT NEXT NEXT! Something is going to happen! My Almo is going to give birth!! Her tummy is big and the nipples can be seen already.. Aiyo.. I'm so anxious.. I'm afraid there might be stillborns. This time round, it won't be a 2-litter baby anymore. Her tummy is so big.. Aiyo.. *FEELING EXCITED*

Mum, Sally, Sylvest and I have planned to go Bangkok on the 6th of August. But now i'm in a dilemma of whether to go or not. The air tickets have already been confirmed, but the departure date from Bangkok have to be on either Saturday or Monday. No vacancies on Sunday. I cannot afford to reach Singapore on Monday as i have a whole day to lessons.. My leave of absence is only for Thursday and Friday. Haiz.. If cancel ticket don't know will forfeit some amount or not. =( So lay chey.. Don't go better.. I'm feeling very shag now. ZzZzZ

Today's first day at school was not as intimidating as the Day 1 of my Year 1 and 2. This is because I only had an hour of lesson and was too busy catching up with how my classmates had spent their holidays. Not much to talk about except that I realised that the current batch of freshmen contains more good looking girls and boys. Lol~! The last batch were mostly those bookworms who were bespectacled and looked very honest. =X Anywayz, not to forget my lecturer for IN3D, he's a caucasian. And the way he speaks, my god, I'll need to take sometime to adjust to his accent. I think he's an Australian. He sounds like one. =0)
Okay, next thing after school - I went home with Tommy and Shunhe to take my rollerblade. The temperature suddenly dropped and thick layers of clouds hovered the skies. Sounds so cold hor? No lah, not that "Grrrrrrr.." - kind of cold. Made us think twice about getting the rollerblade. It really rained within 15 minutes and we took the rollerblade and hopped on to a cab. Stayed at Tommy's house till about 6pm before we went bladding. The weather was just nice! =)
Alighted at East Coast hawker centre and put on our rollerblades. From hawker centre to Bedok Jetty, and from Bedok Jetty to a little way down Big Splash. I asked Tommy,"Do you think with this speed, we can reach Big Splash?" He said,"Yes, but takes longer lor." And guess what, we had already blade past Big Splash and i asked,"Where is Big Splash... So far meh?" He said,"Haven't reach lah." -____- Bluff me.. But i think he's also blur lah.
After bladding, we went to Parkway Parade to see rollerblades. I saw a Salomon Ivy which costs $389. -____- Haiz.. When will I have the money to buy... O_O I realised that i always have things to buy. Blogging shall keep track for me - to remind me that I already have lots to buy, so stop thinking of MORE to buy!! Hehe..
I'm very tired.. ZzZzZ.. Sleep time..

Tomorrow shall be the first day of school. And it is also Youth Day for the seconday school students. *ENVIES* I am still a youth, why don't I enjoy Youth Day too. *SIGH*
Anyway, to prepare for the first day of school, I've bought a new sling bag for myself! Yippie! Er.. $25 from Bugis Street. Not too expensive I guess. Should be able to let me use at least half a year to one year. The old one that i bought from Bugis Street has a big hole in it. But Mummy help me mend it! =D Looks almost flawless! Means i can still use that bag. But can't carry anything heavy.. If not it will split into two again. -_-
Tommy wanted to look for sandals for wearing to school, but all the designs look weird on him. I supposed sandals is not suitable for him.. But i saw a Teva sandals that suits him very nicely. Costs $100+.. -_- Don't know how. =(

I'm now at work and feeling very sleepy!!! =X The weather is too shiok plus the relaxing environment i'm in. It would be good if I can lie down on the sofa and ZzZz... Here I come, Dreamland! *Knocks my own head* STOP DREAMING!!
Received some stupid calls asking me what bus to get to the shop. 73, 136, 315, 317. Okay, that's all I know. Stop asking me how to get there from YOUR place. Don't ask me, ask the BUS GUIDE. Do I look like a bus guide to you? Hmm..
I just wish time will pass as quickly as possible cos I really miss my bed.. Beddie!!! =X Now you know how bored it is over here. The previous girl gave the job up as there's no TV here. What a reason! But well, too busy = tired, too bored = tired. I prefer being bored. Haha.. Do 'practically' nothing and get paid. This is the job that I really enjoy. Lol~ Though this job will make me more sleepy and not earn me any experience, still enjoy it.
Today i drank a cup of Almond + Chuan Pei Tea. Have no idea what is it. But guess it's very good for the skin and throat? Forgot to ask the shopkeeper. It's from those Chinese medicine hall. Must be good stuff inside. A drink that cost me $3.00. Expensive okay.. As for my decent meal, I had mee [don't know what kind is it, look like spaggheti to me] and curry chicken for free!!! Cos it's cooked by Jona's Mum, or my 'boss'. Yeah! Saved $$ for lunch! Hmm.. It's gonna be dinner time soon. Think I should scrimp and save the money I've earned.. I've been really cheapskate and stingy these days. Hee.. Good sign! Hope my bank would be fattened up really soon!! =X
Poor dear have to go out alone today. He had diarrhea but still run around. -_- Guess staying at home without me made him grew spiderwebs and mushrooms. Hmm.. We're going to Bugis tomorrow to get his MD player. He sent it for repairs that day. I kept the receipt and accidently threw it into the bin. Threw that day and only realise it yesterday. Nvm.. They should have his IC number for reference.
I WANT TO GO ROLLERBLADDING!!! Should I? Maybe Sunday then. That's going to be the last day of holidays. *weep weep*

Tomorrow i'll have to report work at 11am instead of 3pm as the worker in the morning shift say she doesn't want to work. Hmm.. This person is so weird. She was supposed to replace me 2 weeks ago, but now she's backing out. If she hadn't replace me, tomorrow would be my last day of work, and that means i'll have an extra $400 savings. Anyway, long story, don't want to dwell on it anymore.
I think working 10 hours would be better than 6 hours cos i will earn more! =X
Okay, next thing of the day - Tommy bought a cage that i've been eyeing for without telling me!! *Geez* I went to his house this morning and was walking around the room when he said,"Help me pack my room leh, 'that' corner.. so messy." Then I gave a big SIGH, thinking,"All throw away then don't have to pack liao lor." Nevertheless, I still walked over and tried to see what can be done to that pile of garbage. To my surprise, I saw the cage! Hehe.. I actually wanted PINK lah, but nvm, I still like it as much! =) Luckily, I didn't say,"All throw away then don't have to pack liao lor." Else I think that's the end of my cage.. =X
Hehe.. I like pleasant surprises like this. =) Thanks dear.

I wanted to turn in early tonight but just couldn't as i eagerly want to blog down what i've done today.
For the first time in 3 years, my family is back to original state where there are laughters, voices, noises and crowdedness. I don't know how to put the feeling into words. But it's being a long long time since our house is so full of vibrance. Ever since Ying [my 3rd sis] left us for U.S, the house has been turned into another house which is often quiet and lonely. In this 3 years, my 2 other sisters have been very busy making their mark in life. The house had since filled with that unusual silence.
It had been a really touching scene I guess. Being apart for 3 years. Though me and Ying had always been like enemies since young, can't help but to feel,"WELCOME HOME!!!" Haha.. Being enemies has become a past. =) We always fought and argue before she left. At that time I felt very happy, cos this big monster is going to live elsewhere and not interfere with my life. But as time passes, I felt I missed them [Ying and Dez]. When they said they were coming home this June, I've been dreaming about their return for 3 times already. This proves that no matter how bad our relationship had been, we will never be enemies as it all boils down to one thing - 'kinship'. After all we are from the same Mum and Dad.
Back at Cat's house, we were talking away and chatting about where we have gained weight. We had a nice time having dinner together at East Coast Jumbo Seafood Centre. Leon and Raymond joined us too. It's a sad thing Tommy didn't join us. He had gone to a friend's birthday celebration at Marina South.
Tomorrow Sally and Ying will be visiting Grandma at Punggol. Wow.. Grandma will definitely be very happy when she sees her. =) Okay.. Time to sleep.. I'm feeling very sick because of the extra full dinner i had just now.

Which [Finding Nemo] characters are you?

Took a trip on the North East Line with my Mum today. Woke up at 10am today to change my bedsheets and pack the room. By 2pm, Mum and I headed for a bus stop infront of DBS Building to take Bus 27 to Sengkang. On the bus, we met an old neighbour and started chatting away. She has moved to Sengkang and even invited us to her house. How nice of her. But Mum rejected and said next time as our purpose of going out today is to explore NEL. We alighted at a bus stop somewhere near the Sengkang's LRT and took a ride to Sengkang MRT station.
Stepped into the MRT station and envy the residence of Sengkang. Their LRT and MRT are just a level apart. When will we start to enjoy such convenience. Hmm.. Anyway, hopped onto the train and alighted at Chinatown. Bought some toiletries and Mum got herself some clothes as well. Ever since all of us have grown up, having lives of our own, she hasn't been going out with us very frequently.
After completing our shopping, we went to Leon's shop to visit him. He seems to be in the pink of health. Really hope so.
I borrowed his hair crimper and did treatment to my hair the moment i got home. The results seem good. It would be even better if someone had did it for me. That's all i did for today.
Sally rented a car as she had sent her own car for sprays. She rented it for 3 days, 1 day for herself, 2 days for Ying and Dez when they come back tomorrow. =)
