In Loving Memory .....

In Loving Memory of HOLLY , the Shetland Sheepdog .

FOUND ON 01 MAY 2002
DEPARTED ON 23 SEPTEMBER 2006

You came in as an abandoned dog
You left me as MUMMY'S DARLING

They say memories are golden
Well maybe that is true
But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you .

A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died .

In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you will forever hold a place
No one could ever fill .

If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane
I will walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again .

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God call us one by one
The chain will be linked again .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was Holly's owner's last words to him before he was cremated today (26/09/2006) . :`( The whole poem really tugged at my heartstrings sia . I can definitely relate to her situation 'coz my own family experienced 2 painful losses of our beloved pets in 2003 , 1 month apart . OMG ! I can never never ever forget the day we sent my darling Baby Jane to be put down . But it was for her own good lah . She was suffering so much . *Sobs* And it's quite touching that Baby Jane became sick 1 month after her own sister Maxie 2nd was put down , due to old age & sickness also . *Haizzz* 17 years+ is not a short period U know ? I practically grew up with them . Pets are family too , and I'm really dreading when the TIME comes for my current pets (3 cats & 1 dog) . OMG !! What is life all about sia ??

Anyway , to dear Holly & all my long gone darlings :

"There are no goodbyes ,

Just , till we meet again ."

Rest in peace .

Bad Car Day .....

Saturday, September 23, 2006

Grrrr ...

Firstly , I nearly crashed my Sis's car TWICE when turning round 2 junctions . Lost control apparantly . Not used to auto car lah & not to mention haven't driven for a loooong time . Didn't step on the brake hard enough , nor slow down when turning . Managed to recover quickly both times . But tatz enough to send Sis into a panic attack . :p ME went into a panic attack as well ! Bah !! Need to look for my dear Allan soon . He won't be pleased to hear what's happened . :(

Then , Sis still got her car scratched when she was driving out of the ridiculously and idiotically structured carpark in Northpoint Shopping Centre . Bah ! Another car scraped into hers while it was reversing , and hers moving forward . Let's just say both parties were responsible lah , for not giving way . Anyway , managed to settle the matter amicably as not much damage was done to both cars . But me heart pain to see the paint being scratched off from the car loh . Make me more guilty then ever , believing that I jinxed my Sis with my lousy driving earlier . :( But Sis was totally cool about it . But I think deep down , her heart muz be aching too , not to mention that she's still recovering from the panic attack caused by my 'stunt' . :(

As soon as we got home , found mum hurdled on the floor outside her room , sobbing away . She juz received news that her fren's dog , Holly , got run over by a cab tis morning & died almost instantly . An extremely unfortunate accident that was totally unexpected . The worst thing is tat mum actually met the fren & her dogs tis morning itself but didn't pat or say hi to Holly as she usually did 'coz she wasn't feeling so well . Sadly , tat was the last time mum saw Holly 'coz the horrid accident happened not long after they parted . Haizzz , me feel awful too 'coz I also know darling Holly . He's a mischievous but cute Shetland with a rather traumatic past , till mum's fren gave him a second lease of life . OMG !! His happiness is too short-lived sia . :( But maybe tatz his karma . Only can be consoled that he died almost instantly . But mum's fren is totally hysterical & in denial . Doesn't help that her other dog , Jojo , is also traumatised by the incident and is now so lost and sad . *Sobs* Feeling really helpless . All I can say :

"Dear Holly , may U rest in peace .

Be good & happy with the other doggies in Happy Land , okay ?

Please watch over your owner .

And say hi to my beloved Maxie 1 & 2 ,

Baby Jane & Shaggy Boy if U see them , okay ?

Tell them I love and miss them heaps ."

Double *sobs* . :`(

And to all , please drive CAREFULLY .

Take 5 .....

Thursday, September 21, 2006

I shouldn't be blogging , I shouldn't be blogging , I really SHOULDN'T be blogging !!! :p

'Coz itz supposed to be a study period . Not doing much studying . Never did anyway . Wahaha !!

But juz gotta pen this down before I forget , 'coz I'm totally bemused .

So far this week , 2 different people at NSC have mentioned to me that I look like some 'mixed' erm ... , person ?? Wahaha !! No lah , as in Eurasian ?? U know , of mixed ethnicity or race , watever . Duh ?!! I have no idea where that came from ! I didn't know these slitty eyes of mine can make me look like another race other than Chinese . Wahaha !! One of them was shocked when I started to speak to her in Mandarin , and the other said that there's something with my skin colour that made me look 'mixed' . OMG !!

Should I be flattered or worried ?

Another Week Down .....

Saturday, September 16, 2006

Hellooo peeps ... . I'm STILL alive !! :D

Why wouldn't I be ??

Heh ! Starting to enjoy my stint in NSC . And it's just week 2 ! All thanx to the lovely company of the frenly and gorgeous (younger) missys over there . Ermm ... wait I can't bear to leave them how ? Hmmm , not a bad idea to join them 'coz itz much nearer to my home anywayz . Haha !! Xiao ah , Ranz ?! Dun forget U still got a freakin' 1 year bond after U complete the course leh ! Bah ! Anyway , me have decided to pledge my utmost loyalty to my current workplace . Afterall , it is where my whole Nursing career , or rather , my whole LIFE , has been anyway . Can't imagine leaving the familiarity and my frens . Even though THEY might leave me some day , but well , tatz another story . Shall enjoy myself where ever I am while the going is good . Life is short , gotta play hard . :D

Study block this week . Lotsa interesting lectures to attend . Not to mention , lotsa sleep inducing ones as well . Zzzz ... Can't blame me lah . I'm never one to sit through lecture after lecture , wokays ?? So it's already quite good that I managed not to sleep through MOST of them . Those that I did , must have been blardy dry or boring . And guess what ? We get to sit in with Final Year Medical Students (from NUS) for the Dermatology lectures . Pwahh ... ! Impressive ! I mean the way they speak , NO WONDER they're doctors-to-be . They are just MEANT to be doctors loh . Wat else can I say ? But , that shouldn't be the reason why some cocky toads gotta behave like they're the greatest beings on Earth loh . Got the cheek to lock us nurses out of the conference room , as well as pass snide comments when we answer questions FOR them ! WTF ?! Don't they have basic courtesy and humanity ?? Grrr ... . Nevermind Ranz , the world is NEVER fair , remember ? Anyway , here are some optical proof that I DO attend lessons , wokays ? :D

'Meh-Meh' (my pencil case) , my files & nameplate (?) .

This IS what the colour of PP wash should be !

*Sheepish* Erm , since I'm at the bestest skin place to be in , I'm quite determined to improve my own skin . Heh ! Been faithfully using my brolly whenever I need to be under the sun and making sure I slab on some sunscreen before leaving home . Hope it's not too late to start loving my skin . :p Trust me ladies , the sun IS our greatest enemy okay ?? Mum is quite amused to see me lugging the brolly around these days . Hummph ... funny meh ?? Also , I finally saw the BFG on Wednesday (13/09/2006) and got my multiple syringomas removed . All I can say , *OUCH* !! :( But thankfully , a super duper nice & skillful doctor made the whole ordeal much more bearable . And I STRONGLY recommend him , wokays ? My new idol ! :p U perverts ! I admire him as a good physician lah , nothing else ah . :D

As promised , here's a pic of little Squirrel on the day I first saw him / her . Cute rite ?! Hee !! Will visit U soon okay , little rascal . Meanwhile , be good ah .

On a last note , would very much like to own these :

But can't seem to find them anywhere so far . :( Tried searching at Poh Khim , TS & Sembawang Music Centre but the useless & rude staff (at all 3 places !!) made it look like I was requesting for planet Pluto . Bah !! Go update your empty brains that such a serial actually do exist . And please brush up your service standards for goodness sake ! Bah bah bah !!! Anywayz , my birthday is next month , so ... *cough cough* . ;p

P/s : Shall sign up for Belly Blitz classes if I fail to make the cut for my Advanced Diploma programme next year . Sounds fun and sexy . Anyone wanna join moi ?? :D

I'm Still Alive .....

Sunday, September 10, 2006

1 week down , 11 more to go ..... :(

Where shall I begin ? Well , firstly , gave a cutie pie kitty to Sammy . Mum found it at a bus-stop near the Indian temple around our place . Poor thing was a hungry , lonely creature , never knowing it's fate or future . But now , the lucky thing is in the safe and warm premises of Sammy's home . Thanx a million , babe , for giving little Squirrel a home . Hope there wasn't any inconvenience to U and your family . Juz glad that Petrie can get along wif her . Hopefully Kiwi will too , soon . Anywayz , in case U all are wondering why I'm still referring Squirrel as 'it' , it's 'coz his / her sex still remains a mystery sia . Hahaha !! Mum thinks it's a gal , I tot it was a guy , Sammy's mum says it's a gal , Sammy tot so too , but now , she has her doubts . Wahaha !!! Poor Squirrel , shall juz call U Squirrel for now , k ? Till the vet clears things up . :D Will post pics of the cutie pie when I can finally move my lazy ass to upload the pics . I think by then , Squirrel would have grown into an adult meow already . Heh ! :p

FINALLY got my pretty Creative Zen Neeon 2 !! Got it on the launch day , which was on the first day of the Comex Fair 2006 , at Expo . Unbelievable !! It was on a weekday , during lunch hours , but it was actually PACKED wif people !! Grrrr ... Don't those people need to work ??! Hah !! I didn't need to . 'Coz it was my day off and I was pretty sure that I'll have lotsa room to breathe but boy was I damn wrong . Guess people really ARE willing to forgo work juz to attend these mega sales . Not for me . I was basically there 'coz I just wanted to get my pretty Neeon 2 . Itz so tiny and cool sia . Love it to bits . But it set me back by $278 for a 2 GB set and a travel charger . Quite wimpy to have to get the charger loh , but if I dun , I'll have to charge the player through the computer , which is kindda inconvenient mah , so ... . Anywayz , after I got it , my old Mp3 player , a Creative Zen Touch (bought only in December 2004) , must have gotten jealous and decided to totally give up on me . :( Can't even shut it down properly anymore . Poor Zen Touch . If I can save some extra $ , promise I'll send U for repairs k ? *Sobs*

2 items down from my list . Yippee yo yippee yay . Next will be my lappy , which I really hope to get soon . Not really a need but rather a want . Yeah , I know . Extravagant . Will be severely punished at some point I guess , for such a sinful waste of $ . Should use my moolah wisely or at least donate to some good cause , but here I am , sin-ning away . :( I promise to be good once I've gotten ALL I've wanted , wokays ? But ... will I ever finish wanting ?? I wonder ... .

Well , have started my stint in NSC . I would say so far so good . Lotsa interesting things to see and do there . A change from my usual routine at least . But I can't wait to get back home , to my beloved little building in the East . Didn't know how much I love & miss it , till I left it , for just a little while . Can't wait to get back to all my friends and the familiarity . But haizzz , shall enjoy myself at NSC while I'm there loh . Hee ! The staff there are rather friendly and nice . Very willing to teach . And super efficient sia . Those whom I've met so far lah . Really impressive to see even the newest baby there , working like she's been there since eons ago . :D Waaahh !! Cool !! And , *sobs* , the pretty missys there really do have good skin . Maybe free skin treatments are part of their staff benefits ? Or should I say , having good skin is a must , to be able to join NSC ?? Haha !! Ma-cham SIA or wat ? Bleh !! Then I'll never make the cut sia . Hahaha !! Anywayz , have pared dunno how many disgusting viral warts and sprayed dunno how many gallons of liquid nitrogen already . Tried my hand at giving S/C Kenacort to some keloids . Only 1 word , "OUCH !!" . Pity the patient sia . Not juz 'coz it's given by me lah , U idiots , but rather , it's such a painful procedure . :( And they gotta come multiple times some more . Ke-lian ah . Gotta thank my makers for giving me a healthy life so far . Muz take good care of it . To all out there , love your health and body please . Also tried my virgin (haha , don't be corrupted ah) hand at blood taking wif needles and syringes . Hmmm , muz say , so far so good . :D But I still think it's a very unsafe practice leh . The missys are really at risk of needle-stick injuries sia . Hope to actively introduce the Vacutainer system to them . Good things muz share mah . :D Well , assisted and observed lotsa interesting , never-seen-before , procedures . All in the name of beauty and vanity . Wahahaha !! Well , who wouldn't ? I would too , if I had the moolah . Too bad I'm juz a humble earthling , and not some ass-hole who "has millions in her bank" . Heh heh ! Balls to her ! Wat a f*cking , old freak ! I mean I have all the respect for elders but for some shit like her , hah , lick my ass ! Lucky I was warned by the staff already , so her freakin' sarcasm didn't really hit me . Imagine if it was some newbie who 'kana' , I think he / she will probably zip up his / her mouth for the rest of their lives . Bah ! Shall go *poof* the next time I see her , a.k.a. , disappear lah . Wahahah !!! Neah neah neah neah neah ... :p

Learnt that he is depressed again . My little nodding botak (Hidamari No Tami) didn't really work . Oh well , think I should really juz give up . No point pining for the impossible . Especially now that I found out he has found a new faith . Too bad then . No wonder he has been acting weird lately . Now I fully understand and I accept it . My heart aches no more . All that missing and fluttery feeling suddenly goes *poof* . Itz good ! I feel lighter . Time to move on . And to him , it's good that U've found , or U're trying to find your direction . I wish you all the best and I still hope to see U return to your old happy-go-lucky self . When U love somebody (or have liked in my case) , U just want the best for them , and I really really hope U get the best okay ? :D And I hope your new faith makes U understand that patients dying are juz part and parcel of our job & wat the heck , everyone gotta die some day , okay ? Dun blame yourself and dun take things so hard .
