Joanna's Diary

2009

2009-03-11T22:54:00.003+08:00

wow! Didn't realise I haven't been blogging for so long. Here some updates.

I pass my 2A prac 3 and am on my way for TP, 2nd TP to be exact. Didn't make it for the 1st one, I got a immediate at Figure 8. Fell! Renewed my CDC membership.

Found myself a new job at OCBC - e2Power. Once a week. So far so good.

Paid my insurance fee, $1200 on Jan 05. *weep*

Still schooling. Life as usual. Been to few museum as school excursion. *haha* Projects goes on .. blah blah

Had some activities going, like BBQ @ ECP, camping at Pulau Ubin.

Mr. Green had flew off to Japan, in hope for his loving future! *haha*

Shan failed her 2B TP. Don't worry. Let try again!.

Been freelancing around also. Not much but at least I still can fill my stomach.

Today my bike broke down. Can't start after I make a U-turn back home to pick up my stuff. End up is battery fault, bought a new one. $40 gone! *weep*

2A Lesson 3

2008-12-28T19:04:00.004+08:00

1st lesson 3 today. The circuit evaluation before TP.

I had drag my 2A for a very long time. *haha* I enrolled on the 23 Feb 2008 but only started my 1st lesson on the 11 Mar 2008. Went for a the previous few lesson and somehow by chance I suppose, I manage to pass. However I am not happy that I make it through (which usually people do). I know for myself that I had not be able to do it well enough to even pass any test so I drag this stupid thing for a very long time. On top of that, CDC is using that heavy, bulky XJR! Ok, maybe is not that heavy for some, but it really heavy for me! arghhhhh.

Finally today I went, the circuit evaluation. Already expected that I won't pass, however I still try my best to not get obvious immediately failure (eg: drop bike, both leg down, cone drop .. blah blah)

The test went smoothly, did all the course reasonably, except when I'm parking my bike. I suppose I didn't put the side stand properly, for the first time it happen, the side stand give way and the bike drop! *ouch* Look what the beloved bike done to my leg!

Anyway, I got my evaluation checklist. Overall riding still ok, no major mistake on that. Only some place never check blind spot. However, I did very badly with the course timing. *faint* I failed to obtain the required requirements and worst still, I get an immediate failure for that stupid S course *haha* Now I hate 8. Anyway this is quite expected. Just got to work harder and try to get use to that bike.

Sweet Christmas Eve and Nice Birthday

2008-12-25T23:50:00.003+08:00

Christmas Eve

Had a sumptuous dinner feast at a restaurant place at Mr. Doz place with both our family members. *burlp* After which, I went up to his house for "open-present" party!

Christmas Day

Today, as usually I plan for a hair cut. Before that, I had lunch at at Plaza Singapura Ichiban with Mr. Black and my sister. A super bloated late lunch. We'll so full that we almost decide to skip dinner. *haha*

After lunch, had a little shopping at PS and before I head over to Bugis, I saw my friend (I suppose is my secondary school mates. *haha*) Over at Bugis, went for a haircut at Chapter 2.

My sister did a sucided hair cut though. *haha* I think she study until siao @_@" liao

Then back home .. cake cutting session with Ah Gu!

Eventful Morning

2008-12-22T17:35:00.004+08:00

This morning, I am suppose to fetch my sis to CDC before heading to work at Tampines. So, the route to CDC turns out all way until ......

Actual route I'm suppose to be taking

But I end up taking this!

hahaha!

Best of all, I reach my work place a little late. Finally my parking at the building is approve so I went to the carpark, ask the security if it the parking for Tower 2, he say "Ya", then check check here check check there, ask a few question then say "Ok you may park". So into the carpark I went, happily park my bike, walk to the lift, press level 3 and *faint* I'm at the wrong building! So smart of the security. *haha*

Pre Bday Celebration with Mr. Doz

2008-12-21T23:27:00.001+08:00

*hee* Doz gave me a surprise some days back. He book a flight at the Singapore Flyer! I'm not quite fascinated by the flyer, what I'm excited is that my Mr. Doz actually know how to make surprise. *haha* He not quite the type where he will do things in a hush hush manner.

I had a great time with him on the flyer, taking photo, arguing with him, doing stupid and irritating things to him. *haha* I'm glad the flyer door is not open else he would probably throw me out! *giggle*

We also went for a complementry Christmas Light Up Tour by the flyer. Again, it nothing fascinating, but just having Mr. Doz with me is all perfect!

Had a great time! Enjoy myself a lot. A really different way of celebrating my birthday. But where my present?!?! .. !! Mr. Doz??!

I intent to change lane and thus I do my usual - leave a bigger gap from the car in front, slow down, check mirror, check blindspot turn my head back to the front and *arghhh* that damn stupid lorry was so damn near me! I suppose he did a super last minute e-break since in front of him is a whole stretch on not moving vehical! DAMN ! Why can't he just slow down earlier or at least show an intention.

Firewire to USB cable

2008-12-04T18:22:00.004+08:00

*hurmp* Been trying to figure out recently if there such a cable where it one side of the head is a USB port and the other is a firewire.

I had an external hdd that needed 2 USB to work. However I do not have enough USB so was hopping I can connect the hdd to a firewire instead.

Anyone can help? Is there any cable that look that way or is there any adapter that can be use?

The firewire 4-circuit port that I wish to connect to.

The USB Male B-type port on the HDD

The current cable it is using.

Which Brain Am I?

2008-09-09T14:09:00.006+08:00

Today in lesson, Rainer was talking about left and right brain and tada, I did a test on it! *haha*

Quiz from : http://www.testcafe.com/lbrb/lbrb.html
Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained?

Although one side of the brain is generally dominant over the other, we should strive to utilize both halves. A balanced brain makes a balanced person - combining sequential thinking with a holistic approach, or linear thinking with intuition, enables us to fully comprehend issues and solve problems. Left-brainers can dramatically improve their problem solving abilities by learning to "follow their gut," while right-brainers can improve the execution of their creative efforts.

Realizing your dominant half is the first step in becoming balance-brained.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 59%.
Your percentage score for the left brain is 41%.

You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows:

Left Brain

* Linear
* Sequential
* Symbolic
* Logical
* Verbal
* Reality-based

Right Brain

* Holistic
* Random
* Concrete
* Intuitive
* Nonverbal
* Fantasy-oriented

Not convince, try this:
source: http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,22492511-5005375,00.html

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic | detail oriented | facts rule | words and language | present and past | | math and science | can comprehend | knowing | acknowledges | order/pattern | perception | knows object name | reality based | forms strategies | practical | safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling | "big picture" oriented | imagination rules | symbols and images | present and future | philosophy & religion | can "get it" (i.e. meaning) | believes | appreciates | spatial perception | knows object function | fantasy based | presents possibilities | impetuous | risk taking

Dentist Checkup

2008-09-04T16:51:00.002+08:00

2008-08-24T00:09:00.001+08:00

Lyric
You're so good to me Baby Baby

I want to lock you up in my closet, where no one's around
I want to put your hand in my pocket, because you're allowed
I want to drive you into the corner, and kiss you without a sound
I want to stay this way forever, I'll say it loud
Now you're in and you can't get out

You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good to me Baby Baby

I can make you feel all better, just take it in
And I can show you all the places, you've never been
And I can make you say everything, that you never said
And I will let you do anything, again and again
Now you're in and you can't get out

You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good to me Baby Baby

Kiss me gently
Always I know
Hold me love me
Don't ever go

You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me

You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good to me Baby Baby

You're so good

Don't Speak

2008-05-28T01:02:00.000+08:00

Lyric
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining

Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone

2008-04-23T13:39:00.003+08:00

Album: The Best Damn Thing

Lyric
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd
Need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
They lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah, yeahhh

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

1st 2A Lesson

2008-03-11T22:20:00.000+08:00

o~!!! Quite a disaster. Was raining the whole day and I actually was thinking of not going for the lesson but rain stop about an hour before.

When I reach there, I was told that I need to attend orientation. Alright, I didn't know that so, never mind, went to gear myself up and was trying to push the bike out but ... I wasn't even able to move an inch. *faint*

Did very badly thought throughout the whole lesson. Fall about 3x and I can't lift that "stone" up.

Nonetheless, I still had my fun and will still continue to try harder even if I were to fall many more times, I make sure I get my 2A.

Rock Band

2008-02-23T00:00:00.000+08:00

Went Green house today to celebrate his birthday + play his new PS3 Rock Band. There me and my Mr. Doz, CS, Ivy, Glad and Zero.

The game was very cool. Initially when we first started playing, everyone haven get the hang of it so it hilarious seeing us all doing stupid things and missing the keys. *lol*

Zero was very good at singing, he really score well. We all flunk badly at it but he flunk bad at instrument. *haha* After a while, the game level get more difficult, we end up having 2-3 player working together on the drum. *haha* The "perfect" we got was unbelievable.

Halfway through the "concert" I got tire and went to sleep in Green room. Wonder what will his mother be thinking! *hump*

We went to Vivo for movie (The Jumper) later in the night, as it was Mr. Doz mum birthday as well, we left after the movie and head to Mr. Doz house.

Stoopie Red Idiot 7 Seater Car Asshole

2008-02-05T19:14:00.001+08:00

Tu lan. On my way home, met this irritating male driver. Stupid. Don't know what stunt he trying to do, I was in the 2nd lane and he was in the 3rd. Suddenly he change lane and came to the 2nd and best of all, he did it directly infront of me. I could had bang into him.

Quickly I checked and change to the 1st lane (bus lane). I don't have the habit of horning others so in a situation like this, so sudden, I couldn't feel my damn horn. *mad*

He really is a crazy driver. When that "action" happens, he was in 2nd lane (he change from the 3rd to 2nd remember?) The very moment, when I just got in front of him, I turn to take a look but he wasn't behind me! He was in the 1st lane

@#$%^%**&^%$* Idiot driver

Web Typography

2008-02-04T12:21:00.000+08:00

Read it somewhere before but can't seem to find the site again so I can't cite it.

Average website height: 500 - 800px
Average website width: < 1000px

Text on the web
keep to a average of 65 - 85 character per line (~495px)
with a line height of 1.5

According to http://www.wpdfd.com/issues/23/typography/
Increasing leading to 15 or 16 pt (or 130%) for the web and you'll see some dramatic improvement in readability.

When you use sans serif fonts, you should increase this value even more. These fonts lack the horizontal guidance that those little serifs provide and thus help the eye follow the textflow.

1st Accident

2008-02-03T21:55:00.000+08:00

*woot* Yesterday I went bugis with Shan2 and CS kor2 to buy Mickey Mouse shirt then send Shan2 home and went to buy boxes for Mr. Doz.

After which, CS brought me to his house, with the intention to wash bike but we end up didn't as there are too many people washing cars at the carpark.

End up we went to Marina Parade to shop for clothes, have dinner and also go peep at Mr. Doz working. *hee*

A small accident happens on the way there at the carpark. I hit CS kor2 box *faint* Sorry CS! Don't mean to! Treat you drinks the next time ok!

Self Ride After "P" Plate

2008-01-31T00:16:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was my 1st self ride on my fino after my P plate period. I head to Suntect Carrefour alone after work to get curtain for my mum. Thinking that I'll be home before Mr. Doz so I rode slowly back. Until I reach carpark did I notice that Mr. Doz had already arrival and I caught him buying ice-cream downstair. *haha*

Miss Fino attempted to remind me the day I return from fraser that I had pass my probation period but I didn't catch the hint until today. I rode alone again to Orchard - Claymore Road and meet up with Green and CS. Mr. Doz join us after his work. *hee*

Fino level up! Jo level up!

Went trying of Oakley and after many trying, I finally narrow down to Oakley Monster Pup and Straight Jacket. Which one should I get?

2008-01-28T04:00:00.000+08:00

Back from Fraser's Hill. *cool* ride. We wasn't as tire as the 1st time we went and we really enjoy the ride a lot. Weather was good except when returning home, there rain.

Jeff went we us for the 1st time and his luggage was extremely huge. It really surprise me a lot. I mean, they are traveling on bike and yet .. *faint*

Anyway, I don't know what else to talk about so let see photo.

First Oil Change

2008-01-19T12:33:00.001+08:00

Despite the eventful morning, Mr. Doz and I still proceed to do up my bike as my bike need a oil change.

So, at around 10+am, we set off to Hong Leong to get my bike done. It took only about half hour to one, pretty fast. The counter guy was very friendly and the mechanic uncle was very comical too. *haha*

The boss also told us that the box is here, $85 including a GIVI box and the bracket. Should or should I not?

Anyway, I took some picture using my new 790SW. *haha*

Anyway after reaching home, Mr. Doz went down to meet Lao Da, CS and Jeff as they going back m'sia to collect Lao Da bike.

God please bless them! Take care of them!

*piss piss* I realise the camera isn't very good at taking indoor shot with flash. *hurmp* I wonder if it my setting problem or ...

Eventful Morning

2008-01-19T12:23:00.000+08:00

Today woke up very early by Mr. Doz because he received a call from DY saying Lao Da is missing when they were in m'sia at around 6++am.

I was in a shock! DY said they realise Lao Da was missing at about 3++am and they went off in search for his bike and finally found it at 6++am. They called us to get a tow number so that they can tow the bike back. DY also made a police report with the m'sia police. We were so shock! Where would Lao Da be? What will happen to him?

DY also told us another bad new. A pk rider skidded and die on the way back! *shock x100*

Worrying and panic doesn't helps so we waited and tried to call Lao Da on his mobile (he got no auto roaming) We can't do anything about the dead rider, only hope his family can be contacted soon about the news and give him a proper funeral and also hope his body can be ship back Singapore asap. As for Lao Da, we can only hope nothing bad happens to him and that somehow he made his way back into Singapore.

Mr. Doz was unable to sleep thus he wake up and do a check on the forum, hoping that someone will post something. But no luck.

Finally at 7++am, Mr. Doz manage to get Lao Da on his mobile and before his mobile went flat, he manage to tell us he is safely back home. *phew*

God, please bless all rider safety and that the pk rider that just pass away, bring him to your side, bless his family members. Hope they get over the grief soon.

My 1st Camera - Olympus Mju 790SW

2008-01-18T23:53:00.000+08:00

Went to work early today as I'm planning to get a camera after work.

After my work, I head to Alan Photo located at Sim Lim Square. Was served by CS's friend, Ben. He had been very nice and patient with us, answer every doubt we had.

After a long hours of talking and deciding between the Mju 790SW, Mju 795SW and Samsung - don't know what model. We finally left with the option of Mju 790SW and the Samsung model. Although the 795SW is a newer model, but the sale person told us that the only different between the 2 model is that 795SW got a deeper diving meter and is 10kg crush proof which is a function I don't really, plus when taking photo using the same setting, the 790SW appear to be more vivid then 795SW. Thus I decided on getting the 790SW. Didn't take the Samsung model because I wanted a camera that is not "fragile" and water resistance.

Spend a total of $433, inclusive of GST, and it come with 2x 1GB and free screen protector and lanyard. o~! I took the orange color model as the shop got no more black color stock and if I insist on taking it, the person will have to go to funan to bring down. So, save the trouble (the sales person tried to "con" me to get the orange) But eventually I get orange not because he succesfully "con" me, is that I feel the orange is quite nice, unique and also not much people will go for orange.
Did a few test shot on the way home.

SGD 1 Story

2008-01-18T15:13:00.000+08:00

Singapore dollar. (2008, January 18). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 07:16, January 18, 2008, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Singapore_dollar&oldid=185131457

The one dollar coin is inscribed with an octagon, which looks like a ba gua, a Chinese lucky charm. Feng shui masters are believed to have said that the construction of MRT tunnels through downtown Singapore would have an adverse effect; they recommended that every household display a bagua to negate this. Bearing in mind that there were many locals who did not adhere to this Chinese belief, this was not possible. Thus the design of the one dollar coin. A popular urban myth in Singapore states that fortune tellers told Lee Kwan Yew that his dynasty would remain in power provided the octagon was spread throughout the city state.

Below is the old SGD $1 coin.

Top Up Cash Card

2008-01-18T09:53:00.000+08:00

*haha* It my 1st time topping up my cash card using the nets machine at carpark on my own.

Quite comical as I got no idea how to use it. When it state, swipe customer card, I though it meant swip my cash card. So I swip a few times and nothing happens then I realise it means swip atm card. *lol*

Also took a while to figure out where to "insert the cash card" .. It at the bottom of the machine. *faint* I look so stupid.

My Perfect Silhouettes

2008-01-15T22:55:00.000+08:00

wow! Finally, I manage to do a nice silhouettes. Thanks to Mr. Doz who taught me how. Surprise yeah! He actually know how to do! *haha* Pretty yeah?!

Free GV Gold Class

2008-01-13T22:59:00.000+08:00

wow! Receive a email from GV stating that I had won a GV Gold Class. *cool* Had always wanted to go and have a look how Gold Class is about. FInally I got the chance.

So today, we head down to Plaza Singapura together with Zero, Glad, Ivy, Desmond as there were around my house area. We also go there to take a look at the camera that I wanted to buy, Olympus Mju790 series. While shopping around, we also waited for CS to arrive. We walk around for a while more and end up buying a Panasonic earphones ($49) for myself as my boss gave me a $60 Best Denki voucher. I still have $10 left. *haha*

Upon CS arrival, the rest of the group was about to leave as they got their own evening plan, thus CS, me and Mr. Doz went over to the army market at beach road. As the sky look pretty unpredictable, we rode very fast and that the 1st time I saw CS rode so fierce! *scary*

At army market, we bough quite a number of things. *spend $$ again .. faint*

Scuola Politecnica di Design SPD

2008-01-11T20:06:00.001+08:00

I saw this design school while trying to google around for some alternative to obtain a degree in Design and came across Scuola Politecnica di Design SPD.

The offer modules that attracted me, unlike schools in Singapore. So I drop them a mail with my enquiry and today I got their reply.

In the mail, they wrote

a long history of their school (not really long actually) that really impressed me. It make them sound so "high class".
some basic information/modules on the courses I ask about
advise that I could actually take double master (visual + web)
and of course most importantly course fee and entry requirement

Really am interested and if money isn't a factor, this will really be a very good option BUT .. all course and masters are teach in Italian! *o my*

I didn't lose out either, bought Mr. Doz gifts quite sometimes back. *hee*

Bought him a book, How to Cheat in Photoshop CS3: The art of creating photorealistic montages ($53.55) and also got him a shirt that he likes. *hee*

Not feeling very well though, and for the 1st time I realise how dangerous it is to ride when you got no concentration. *sweat* So through out the journey, I tried to keep myself focus on the road by talking to myself. *haha* Sound weird right but that what I can think of to keep me focus!

Went Vivo for movie session, I am Legend. The show was quite cool except that erm.. the ending a bit cannot make it! *haha* But still, it worth watching.

Here a bit of the plot

I Am Legend (film). (2007, December 27). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 12:48, December 27, 2007, from
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I_Am_Legend_%28film%29&oldid=180412185

In 2009, a genetically re-engineered measles virus called Krippin Virus or KV, originally created as a cure for cancer by Dr. Alice Krippin (Emma Thompson), mutates into a lethal strain. Spreading through both air and bodily fluids, it rapidly infects humans and other animals. By the end of the year, 90% of the planet's human population has been killed; 9.8% are infected but survive, while the remaining 0.2% are immune. The infected survivors initially exhibit the early symptoms of rabies, but then degenerate into an animal state characterized by aggression, skin afflictions (including the loss of hair) and rapid heartbeats and breathing. Unaware of the effects of the disease on the infected, many of those who are immune are mercilessly killed, further reducing the human population.

Three years later, military virologist Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the last healthy human survivor in New York City and possibly the world. The Infected[3] (called "dark-seekers" later in the movie by Anna) react painfully to UV radiation, forcing them to hide in buildings or shadowed areas during the day (in groups called "hives" by Neville); they swarm at night, attacking in large numbers. Neville's isolation is broken only by the companionship of his daughter's dog Samantha (Sam), mannequins in a shop he regularly visits, and by recordings of old news and entertainment broadcasts. Along with his research, his daily routine includes trips through a Manhattan devoid of humanity, hunting for food and supplies. He has flashbacks of the death of his wife and daughter while being evacuated during the chaotic, militarily enforced quarantine of Manhattan in 2009. He also waits each day for a response to his continuous radio broadcasts to any uninfected survivors, instructing them to meet him at noon at the South Street Seaport.

One day, his research appears to find a promising treatment, so he captures and treats an infected woman, but without apparent success. Shortly after, he is ensnared by a trap and attacked by the Infected. While helping him escape Sam is bitten by an Infected dog and becomes contaminated so Neville kills her. He appears distressed by his loneliness and attacks a group of Infected that night at the South Street Seaport and is nearly killed himself but is saved by a pair of immune survivors who heard his broadcasts. They take him back to his fortified home on Washington Square North. Anna (Alice Braga) and young boy Ethan (Charlie Tahan) survived the chaos aboard a Red Cross evacuation ship, and are making their way to a rumored survivors' camp in Bethel, Vermont.

The next night, the Infected attack the house and overrun its defenses. Neville, Anna, and Ethan retreat into the basement laboratory, sealing themselves in with the woman Neville is treating. Discovering that the last treatment is successful, Neville draws a vial of blood from the patient and gives it to Anna. He pushes Anna and Ethan into an old coal chute and sacrifices himself with a hand grenade, killing the attacking Infected.

Anna and Ethan escape to Vermont and locate the fortified survivors' colony, where Anna gives the cure to the guards. In her narration, she states that Neville's cure enabled humanity to survive and rebuild, establishing his legend.

Anyway, to everyone out there, MERRY XMAS!

Since A Long Time

2007-12-14T11:59:00.000+08:00

Let see ... Christmas coming, nothing special happens that make me want to blog, 20th is a holiday and boss declare 24th to be offday so, ... am thinking if I would like to take leave on the 21st!

At work now, kind of boring, no people around, boss went out! I wish to stay home and shake leg like Mr. Doz and can also sleep till wee hours. *weep*

Let See ...

2007-12-02T15:11:00.000+08:00

wow! Alright, had been riding for quite a while and had twice, pillion Mr. Doz on the road. *sweat*

Seem like I'll still need more time getting use to it, riding around alone, not knowing the route and worst of all, can't seems to judge then vehicles distance from the mirror.

Also, I realise how bad most driver are, not patient, reckless, intolerants. *faint* Why can't people just be more polite?

Fino Is Here

2007-11-16T23:28:00.000+08:00

wow.. this morning when I was bathing, Mr Doz suddenly woke up and told me that my bike is ready for collection! *cool*

Immediately, I SMS my boss to see if he allow me to take the day off to go collect my bike but as we got an event at Cinelesiure, boss doesn't allow me to take leave as he had meetings to attend, instead, he allow me to leave earlier and I told him that I'll take the whole day shift tomorrow.

At 5pm, Mr Doz and DY came to fetch me to the bike shop. Feel excited and eager yet with a fear of riding on the road, I started my Fino engine and waited patiently for Mr Yang to move to the front to lead me to the caltex nearby. (pump a total of 2.94L of SlvTechron that cost Mr. Doz $5.46.)

1st start of was pretty scary! I mean, never in my life I rode or drive on the road, not after I got both my license.

On the way to AMK Central (before that, pop-by at DY's gf house to pick her up), I was been horn by 2 cars (as to what I remember cos Mr. Doz said he only remembered one), was tailgate by a car and also suddenly overtake by another sport car. *phew* erm~! there wasn't any 'P' plate on my bike so .. naturally, I guess people though I'm a season rider and thus show no patient to me.

Had Fish & Co at AMK Hub. *hee* Approximately $50 per couple. o~! We meet Eeyore and Ivy there too!

Ride home was must more better. Guess I'm a bit use to it and was going on expressway, straight road all the way thus was a bit easy for me but ... STUNT happens when I was trying to turn up the slope to my house multi-story carpark *faint* I guess I didn't slow down enough and thus the bike went straight towards the wall! My very first reaction was to turn the handle so that it change course and to my suprise, it works. *phew* Mr. Doz was almost mad at me that I did such dramatic thing and best of all, there the regular group of malay crowding around the entrance!

I promise I'll do the bend better the next time! *God please guide me!*

Kiss me Good bye by Angela Aki

2007-11-05T21:39:00.000+08:00

Here is one of the song I like. Super nice singer and smoothing song. She sang a Japaneses version as well as a English version. *cool*

English Version
You say that my love is all you need to see you through
But I know these words are not quite true
(So) here is the path you're looking for, an open door
Leading to worlds you long to explore

Go if you must move on alone
I'm gonna make it on my own

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Won't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality

As time goes by I know you'll see this of me
I loved you enough to let you go free

Go, I will give you wings to fly
Cast all your fears into the sky

Kiss me good-bye, love's mystery
All of my life I'll hold you close to me
Won't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
You put the dream in my reality

Japanese Version
Anata wa mayotte, ite mo
Doa wa aiteru yo
Futari no sekai dake de wa
Mitasarenain deshou

Hane o ageru kara
Shinjite tobe-pa ii

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Anata o ushinattemo

Kiss me good-bye, sayonara
Atarashii watashi ni kawaru

Kiss me good-bye
Kiss me good-bye

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Atarashii futari ni kawaru nara

Kiss me good-bye, nakanai
Anata o aiseta kara

Anata o aiseta kara

Japanese Version's English Translation
Even if you are lost
The door is open
Aren't you satisfied
With a world for us two?

Because I'll give you wings, you should believe and fly

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Even if I lose you

Kiss me good-bye, farewell
I'll change into a new me

Kiss me good-bye
Kiss me good-bye

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
If we change into two new people

Kiss me good-bye, I won't cry
Because I was able to love you

Because I was able to love you

Dark Eye Rings

2007-11-02T20:06:00.000+08:00

Been very bothered by my dark eye rings for many years and today somehow I decided to surf the net to get some solution.

Source:
http://www.indiaparenting.com/beauty/article.cgi?art_id=72&sec_id=3 and http://www.pioneerthinking.com/op_darkcircles.html

There are many contributing factors to the development of these dark circles and some of these factors are attributed to our daily lifestyle, such as:

Lack of sleep, sleeplessness or disturbed sleep
Short and irritable temperament
Emotions such as jealousy, irritation, anger, and unhappiness
Iron deficiency
Genetics too could predispose you to developing dark circles.
Drinking an excess of beverages that contain caffeine.
Smoking
Allergies
Thyroid problems
A lack of iron in your body during menstruation. This often contributes to dark circles, which is why some women have a tendency to develop dark circles during their period.

Remedies
First of all, try and figure out the reason you have developed dark circles. Have you always had them? Are they a recent occurrence? Does your mother have dark circles under the eyes as well? Once you can pinpoint the cause for dark circles, it would be much easier for you to get rid of them.

Are you allergic to something? If yes, work on avoiding the allergens.
Apply Vitamin E to the area under your eye. You could open up a Vitamin E capsule, and apply a little oil. Swallow the rest of the oil. This not only helps you get rid of dark circles, but also reduces puffiness around the eyes. In addition, regular application of Vitamin E delays the onset of wrinkles. /orApply creams that contain Vitamin C.
Inverted asana postures work wonders for dark circles.

Try doing the sarvangasana everyday.
Often dark circles and under-eye puffiness is caused due to sinusitis.
Jal Neti is extremely beneficial in such cases, as it internally cleanses your entire facial region, rejuvenating it. Do the Jal Neti at least five times a week to clean out your entire nasal passage.
Swallow a capsule of cod liver oil everyday. It strengthens eyes.
Take a teaspoon of tomato juice, a few drops of lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and a little flour, enough to make a paste. Apply this paste to the under-eye area, and wash off after fifteen minutes.
Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday. There is no stressing this enough. If you do not drink at least eight glasses of water everyday, you are not providing your body with as much water as it requires for flushing out toxins. Do not wait until you are thirsty before drinking up. By the time your body cries "I'm thirsty!", you are already severely dehydrated.
Avoid stepping out in the sun, especially between noon to four, when the sun is at its strongest. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, and the delicate skin around it, from the harmful effects of UV radiation.
Apply a cold, used tea bag to your eyes. You could also applied used, cold, herbal tea leaves to your eyes, to sooth them.
Apply a concealer to the area under your eyes, to hide dark circles. Use a colour that is every so slightly lighter than the shade of your skin. Apply the concealer gently; do not stretch or pull the skin from this delicate area.
Lie down, close your eyes and apply cucumber or potato slices to your lids. Leave on for ten minutes and remove. Wash the area with cold water. This soothes tired eyes instantly, and helps boost blood circulation in the under-eye area.
Try out dark circle remover creams available in the market. Make sure they are of a recognized brand before applying them to your face.

Home Remedy for Dark Circles:

Using Almond Oil

Almond oil as we know is an excellent natural emollient and its fine texture and moisturizing properties is perfect for any skin type. Ayurvedic practitioners love Almond oil and they have been using this oil for dark circles.

Almond oil is readily available from health and aromatherapy stores as it's commonly used as a carrier oil. Carefully rubbing a little in to the skin around your eyes each morning and night should leave the skin softer and more supple.
Using Tomato and Lemon

Tomato is rich in Vitamin A, C and Iron, whereas lemon can act as "natural bleach". By combining the two ingredients, you will notice the dark circle will lightens after a few days of treatment.

To conjure this mixture, take one teaspoon fresh tomato juice. Add to it 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice and a little less than a teaspoon of gram flour. Mix all these thoroughly to make a smooth paste. Apply this paste on the dark circles around the eyes and leave for about 10 minutes.

Before it becomes too dry, start removing by rubbing very gently with your fingers. Later, wash your face. This application is recommended once daily. More quantity of the ingredients can be taken in the proportion specified to have sufficient amount to apply on the whole face.
Using Cucumber Juice

Cucumber has cooling and astringent properties that are very good for tired eyes. This remedy is a "quick-fix" to any eyes woes.

Squeeze the juice from a cucumber and cool it in the refrigerator for an hour or so. Add a little lemon juice. Make cotton pads and dip into the mixture. Place on your eyes for 15 minutes. The effect is cooling and relaxes your eyes.

Make sure to wash the area thoroughly afterwards and apply a little almond oil around the eyes to moisturize the area.
Using Grated Potato

Another effective home remedy is peeled and grated potatoes. Firstly, grate the potato, wrap it in thin cloth and place it over the eyes. Use this overnight at least three times a week.

Make sure to wash the area thoroughly and apply a little cream or oil around the eyes to moisturize the area.
Using Metal Spoon

This is one of the most effective "Old Wives Tales" that don't need much effort. :)

Cool a metal spoon under the cold tap for a few minutes, dry off the water and hold the spoon to your eyes for at least sixty seconds. Be gentle; don't press too hard.

Fino or Gilera

2007-11-02T19:58:00.000+08:00

Went for a test ride of the new Yamaha Fino. *cool* It very vintage and cute but it doesn't have got any speed and probably no resale value.

Yamaha people quoted me 4.2K and offered to give free helmet, bike cover, box. Should I?

We head to Loois as well cos Mr. Doz need to pay his bike installment. So we asked the uncle there. He advise me not to get Fino instead, he offered me a 2nd hand Gilera Runner, new model at 5.2K .. should I?

Lazy Posting

2007-10-30T22:10:00.001+08:00

gosh! I'm so lazy to update my blog. Last few days was so eventful as well as tire.

[26102007]
Went to Kulai for dinner. That day was terrible. Before meeting up with the group - Vince, Deyang and Kaipei, Jeff and Ivy, Joseph, Cheng Sing, Gerard; we went with Gerard to meet the Kruzer at "Old School". Was kind of reluctant to even step out of my cosy house but Mr. Doz wanted me to accompany him so badly. So dragging myself, I went with him.

"Old School" was quite a nice place, nice ambiance. A very nice place to chill out! Around 10:40pm, we move off from there and head to GP Esso to meet up with the rest.

Gerard and Mr. Doz swap bike to ride (don't worry, both their bike have each other as sub-rider) and who know, disaster happens after the enter the Singapore custom. Gerard stop half way through the bridge I didn't notice until we reach M'sia custom. IZ told us that Gerard ran out of petrol *faint*. He end up pushing the bike to M'sia custom *poor Gerard*

Mr. Doz "offered" to take over the "duty" of pushing his own bike after that. *haha* Initally we wanted to try our luck to see if we are able to reach GP Esso before the fuel went 100% empty but once we out of the bend, the bike gave out! So Mr. Doz ask Gerard to pillion me pass the tow and wait for him there while he push his bike over. *poor Mr. Doz*

After the tow,Ger and me waiting for quite a while (DY called to ask where we are at this moment) and finally Mr. Doz was spotted but with a malay rider pushing Mr. Doz bike using the pillion footrest and his group around Mr. Doz. This scare me!

Gerard and I stunt for a while before realising we should actually catch up with them to make sure Mr. Doz is safe. While riding towards Essos I didn't notice any bike and upon reaching Essos, I don't see Mr. Doz. Worried as I am but there nothing I can do. Stoopie Doz got no auto roaming. All I can do was go over and update IZ about what happen so he decided that he will ride back to see if he do see Mr. Doz. *weep*

After a few moments of worrying, Mr. Doz is back from the petrol station beside! Please Mr. Doz!!! Do not be so drama the next time ok! I'm very worried. *arbish*

After all the drama created by Mr. Drama King, we still manage to had our "dinner" at Kulai Town - You Meng Restaurant. Wach person spent approximately RM$13.

[28102007]
Body Shop Charity Makeover .. yeah!
Signed up for the makeover ($40) together with Glad and Ivy on Fri, 28 Sep 2007. Made a appointment at 11:05am. It so early and on top of that I slept at 4am in the morning. *faint* Nonetheless, I still manage to wake up in time and reach earlier then them (although Glad was the earliest to wake up). *haha*

Mr. Doz forgot his camera so he end up S.O.C with Zero while Eeyore busy snapping Ivy. *hee* o~ We bought the makeover photos as well ($8).

After the shot, we head for brunch at Sakae Sushi. 6 of us eat a total of 36 color plates, 5 red plates and 6 chawamushi, costing a total of $126.30.

After meal, we went bike hunting. I'm so eager to get a bike after what Uncle Elgan told me. He said something like "Since you like bike so much, you mustn't let $ affect you. If you think you can afford now, get it! For the sake of your passion! If later on you feel that you can't afford that bike anymore, then sell!" hurmp! maybe he doesn't sound this way but at least that how I interpreted it. *haha* erm~! I strongly agree on the 1st part but definitely not the 2nd half. I feel getting a bike is a long investment especially if I want a new bike. Got to plan a few years ahead before I get 1.

So, off we go to AS Poon changi branch because Juvena said she say saw a sweet vespa that I'll probably like. After a few "sit' trial and bike recommendation, the sale person told me to get Yamaha Fino. I don't quite like the "head" area but later was convince but the cuteness and vintage of the bike after I did a few search on the google.

James, the sales rep, quoted us $4700 before insurance with 5% interest rate. The insurance will cost approximately $900. I'm still considering if I should buy or not due as the bike has got little power and slow speed. I'm afraid I'll end up preferring good speed then to vintage, cute bike.

Homeless, Roomless .. Suck

2007-10-22T21:46:00.000+08:00

suck big! My damn brother is getting marry happily and poor Mr. Doz and me will be homeless and room-less.

That two idiot happily plan to marry without even have their own house nor saving + my house is already so clamp up, not enough room + my brother must sleep in the living room sofa and now his saying his wife-to-be is going to stay with us.! F*** **U!

Seriously doesn't he plan nor think 1st before deciding? An come on, so many people is living in this house, shouldn't he even consult as for opinion first? More irritating is my mum is definitely going to side my brother *madness x 999999 to the power of 99999*

MR DOZ PLEASE GET A HOUSE BEFORE THE MOVE IN. I WANT TO MOVE OUT! AND OF COURSE, VAL VAL IS COMING ALONG!

and please, I mean get a house of our own. NOT your house! *madness*

The make-up

2007-10-17T21:41:00.000+08:00

Doz didn't manage to surprise me as planned yesterday so today, he continue to do what he wish to.

7:30pm, he pick me up off work and we head to Vivo City and had dinner at Marche! It been a long time since I last been there. *drool*

Doz actually wanted to do a hand wax but didn't manage to as the person close shop early today. It very nice of him to come out with this idea but seriously I guess is a little waste of money and also considering my room got no place to put a fragile wax.

Anyway, thanks Mr. Doz.

Finally it 3 Years

2007-10-16T17:45:00.000+08:00

Yeah! Excited. *haha*

Mr. Doz had some planned for today (went work early so I ended work at 6pm) but I wonder what it is as we end up didn't manage to go as his plan cos when Mr. Doz pick me up off work, it sky started to through some temper.

We ended up at Bugis with Mum, Uncle Andy and Shan. They had off that day and were trying to shop for clothes.

Shan bought me a mickey mouse necklace with my name and date of birth engrave onto the back ($22.90).

After which, mum and uncle went to eat bak ku tea themselves while we had our dinner at Pastamania ($40++).

Though we did do much but still Mr. Doz, I'll still love you!

[1310'07, 3:30am] We set off to GP Esso . Supposedly to reach at 4am but we was late. We arrange to meet Gerard at Bird Park to get white card from him as we doesn't have enough. While waiting for him, smart Mr. Doz forgot to engage 1st gear while he park on the down slope and the bike went rolling down and my helmet drop off the bike and rolled down the road *weep*

Dinner - Optional

Approx 05:00am
We set off through North-South Highway until we reach our 1st fuel stop at about 7++am. Due to festival, the petrol station is not operating *faint* We end up having breakfast at a nearby Chinese coffee shop. Me and Mr. Doz had maggie noodles + curry veg + Tea-O and Bee Hoo + sausage + luncheon meat + Tea-Tarik respectively. ( RM 6.10 ).

After breakfast, we set off again. While I'm trying to put on my ear piece that belong to Ms Shan, I realise that the left side rubber piece drop off. Sad and having images of how Ms Shan will getting pissed over it, I spotted something black and rubbery on the road a steps distance away from us. I went over to take a look and YEAH .. it the ear piece rubber *haha*

Off we rode again until our next petrol stop (didn't manage to pump at the 1st stop). It located at some ulu place which I don't know where it is. *Move off again*

Finally around 10:30am, we reaches Tasik Chini aka Lake Chini. There was a slight delay as Jocelyne (mamajo) got involve in an accident as she self-skidded on the way up to Lake Chini.

Upon reaching Rajan Jones' guest house, we settle down in the 'lobby' area. The only room that we have access to at that time is Room 2. So everyone shifted their luggages into the room after dazing around lazily before they prepared themselves and off to lunch at the diner house.

Our lunch is been pack as a large group of us is going tracking in the jungle (I'm not involve! haha Cos Mr. Doz think he need rest). So while the group is tracking, we bought our lunch back to the guest house to eat. Jocelyne was with us as she was injured from the earlier skid and though she kind of a mama age, she is been control by youngster like us. *haha* She had to be constantly reminded that she is injured and refrain from doing a lot of this. As for me, I make sure she waited 30 minutes after meals before she take her medication. But she was so impatient and keep wanting to swallow it down. *interesting*

Just before dinner time, the tracking group came back and noise were all over. Leeches bites marks everywhere around their leg, sweat, wet and dirty. Almost immediately, a few of them went to shower. After all the cleaning up, we were given our room keys. Mr. Doz and me took room 6 (at the back) and we requested to have join room with Gerard so they took room 1 (at the front). It kind of like shortcut for us. *haha* Before we head for dinner, we quickly burn the anti-inset candles *haha* A bit kia su ho!

Had a romantic dinner at the diner house as there no bulb. They uses kerosene lamp and candle. Kind of dark and you can't really see what your eating. After filling our stomach, we entertain ourself with what ever we see. *haha*

For the 1st time in my life, I seen so much firefly around the trees area. Attempted to capture a photo of them but can't make it. Fooling around with scary images and stuff when we saw the village children is carrying logs to an area, then did we realise they actually arrange a performance for us. We have a campfire built for but didn't manage to get it burning as the logs were damp due to afternoon raining. However, the village children still perform for us as they planned. After that, its Oink Oink time.

Woke up at about 7++am the next day. Yawn! I'm a little lazy to type any more. For more details, read Mr. Doz blog at dozdoz.blogspot.com! *haha*But nonetheless, I'll show you all the images. There a lot though so... enjoy!

[06102007] This is my 2nd trip up m'sia with Mr Doz. hee The 1st trip was up Frazer hill *excited* Another one will be coming on the 1310'07 *eager*

Early morning at about 6:30am, I woke up an prepared myself to move off. Reaches GP Esso at approx 7:10am but to my surprise, only a few riders had arrived. I don't see the organiser. *faint*

We waiting for a very long time before the organiser arrived which was at 8:15am. Upon arrival, he still gave himself excuse that though he was late, he was still within the arranged schedule. *faint x2* Also saying that he did update the new itinerary but hey, you update at such a late hours, most people might had already been asleep. *bish*

Finally at 8:15am, we had a briefing and successfully move off as planned at 8:30am. There a total of 15 bikes and 2 family cars. We had 2 pit stop before we reach Malacca. Doz taken the roles of a sweeper. Ask me what a sweeper do, I actually dunno. All I know is when every Doz need the other rider to move faster, I will have to "sweep" my hand to indicate it to them. *haha* Everytime I do that, I'll sing that "shao tor kar" song. Mr Doz was able to hear me because we borrow the pillion-rider communication device from Mr Penguin (Thank Penguin)!

We arrived at Malacca main town at approx 12:30pm, had our fill at the famous chicken rice stall, the chicken rice is roll up into a ball unlike the usual one we ate. The funny thing is when the auntie serve us the meal, Mr Doz went all surprise when she place 2 big plates of fishball. *haha* Those "fishball" was actually the rolled up rice. *haha* The meal include of cause, the rice ball, chicken + an assam fish and vegetable. After lunch, we head to a nearby stall and ate chendol. The chendol was nice but it was also super sweet. *eek*

After makan session, we the day tripper decided to follow the others to their apartment that they going to stay to have a look and at the same time, take a break and cool ourselves down. The weather was really hot and we wore like riding gear! *sweat*

We "hollanded" quite a while before we reach that. The place was pretty spacious, not very expensive and best of all, got aircon and TV.

After a rest at the apartment, we head back to the town as one of our mates wish to buy something. After which, we head back to Singapore. But before that, we had dinner at Tian Lai, located at GP Town. A place for cheap and yummy "Ze Char"

Reaching home at near 12am. Totally flat and tire! Nonetheless, it was fun. Hopefully, the next time round, Mr Doz will get a touring bike. *haha*

Office Power

2007-09-06T23:05:00.001+08:00

*haha* This is interesting. Yesterday about 20 minutes before I'm going to knock off, there a suddenly black out. Power failure!

Mr Keith was in the toilet when it happens. It might had been me inside but cos he went a step before me. *lucky* When his back, he attempted to "rescue" the light but "pop" we (i meant me and wan jing) saw spark coming out from underneath boss table. *Double faint*

Finally the light came back and the two guys are determine to find out what happen. I headed off quickly to avoid getting caught in the dark room again.

Today when I report to work at 10:30am, the office network was down for the whole morning. When it finally came back, it lasted for only a few minutes and off it goes again then back for another few minutes and off again. *faint* Only until 5++ then did the signal settle down!

wohoooo . Whole day of nothing to do. *haha* But lucky for me, I need to go delivery POS.

Missing Doz!

2007-09-06T22:03:00.000+08:00

weep~! It been 3 days of living without Mr. Doz by my side. His now in Taiwan enjoying life. *weep*

On 05092007, Mr. Doz woke up early (10am) and send me to bus-stop, after which, he head to Regina to get a disk lock and bought himself breakfast before he went over to cover his bike with a canvas. At 11:30am, he made his way to Changi Airport on a taxi and reaches there at approximately 12noon.

I made up a little chart on his journey! *hee*

Hurmp was on the phone with Mr Doz quite a few times on the 1st day of his tour. Also we exchange quite a handful of SMS. Guess this month phone bills going to be very high.Yesterday Ruli came and thus didn't manage to sweet talk with Mr. Doz for too long and also end up sleeping kind of late. *tire*

Donuts From Donuts Factory

2007-08-20T23:42:00.001+08:00

wow~! Finally I queue for donuts *haha* Actually I didn't really queue.

Work slightly later for work today and cause my Mr. Doz to wait alone downstair for me. *sorry* .. After work, we headed to Carrefour as I need to buy shampoo. Upon reaching there, I suggested to queue for donuts. So we head over to the store and to our surprise, there only slightly less then 10 people queuing for it. Seeing the queue being so short, we hurried to join it. *haha*

And thus we get to eat our donuts. *lol* O~ I help my office people to buy as well. Boss say he will pay me back! ..

Donuts!!! *drool*

By the way, this is the 2nd time I ate the donuts. The 1st time, Mr. Doz bought home the chocolate top with raspberry in it. He bought it without queue as they are closing *haha*

Val, Cherry Eye!

2007-08-16T21:03:00.000+08:00

o~ no, my sis spotted Val2 with cherry eye today. She call me during my work time at around 6:00pm *sian* .. Initially I ask her to wet a warm towel and place it around her eyes cos I thought it was just sore eyes or what and also told her that Mr. Doz is on the way home so let wait for him to decide. When Mr. Doz reach home, he called me and said Val eyes very bad! So I ask him to quickly rush her to the vet.

The vet prescribe some eye drop + another appointment in a week time. If by then the lump thing doesn't go away, a operation is needed *faint* She still quite active still so I had no idea if she in pain or not *cry*

She was fine yesterday (at least her eyes was confirm alright last week) . Only today that stupid cherry thing pop out! Vet mention that usually cherry eye will appear when there a loose skin (or is lose skin) but Val2 have none of that .. and we got no idea how it happens and why it happens.

Anyway, the prescribe 2 eye drops are to be drop in a interval of 15 min and 1 day must drop 3x each. *blur*
