such an arse

Posted by gie_chloe | Comments: (0)

I wonder if Tofu's having too much of a good life. He gets his meals on time, his cage cleaned every weekend and his treats in different forms, taste and colours. Fortunately, he doesn't bites me when I cuddle him. Otherwise he'd be branded as the brat.

Archie's returning from Hong Kong tomorrow night. Although this time I am not totally uncomfortable with his absence, I still long for tomorrow to come quickly. Nah, I didn't get him to buy me clothes from H&M; I've learnt my lesson the last time. I just want to check out his latest purchase of an Agnes B Duffel leather bag and perhaps... *winks*

Tofu's growing by the day. Exponentially I say. haha When I couldn't get to sleep at night, I would bring Tofu's cage into my room. The sound of the slighty squeaking wheel makes me sleepy. Sounds like a lullaby. Sounds like a fellow living creature accompanying me to sleep. :)

P.S. I think Tofu may be a he.

Kiki is a female black molted dwarf hamster, currently residing in a uber-cool Habitrail Ovo Pad. This little one is smaller and slightly less hyper than Tofu. Still, it's a challenge to capture it on my Sony Cybershot. The mode for fast-moving object still doesn't work -_-"

But Archie and I figured the Habitrail cage may be a tad small once Kiki 'fattens' up with age. Already Tofu has shown exponatial growth in just two days.

Missing my hammies already,
xoxo Gie

tofu

The folks have been welcoming the shy critter. Stealing peeks no less. Tofu, the pearl white winter white russian (long name!) has been adjusting pretty well to its new home. =) I still haven't find out its gender. Mainly because it's so hyper and almost impossible to grab hold of it. I couldn't bear to crush its bones while at it. Since I don't plan to pair it with another hamster, I guess it's all right to leave its gender unknown for the moment.

I just saw Tofu stretching its body and yawning. It is a good sign I read. It's happy and contented. Heh. Archie couldn't resist and got himself a black molted hammie this afternoon. His hammie cage from Habitrail is oh-so-cute. Gotta take some pictures of his 3-week old hammie too.

It's major discipline these days. Every morning I'd routinely check on the fighting fish and Tofu, making sure they're stil breathing, changing the fish tank's water, checking the food level and feeding them fresh food. Every night I'd spend some time interacting with the creatures (I'm sure they recognise me!).

There's some great news ahead. Will share in time to come ;) No no, Archie hasn't proposed.

relishing

not so grand

Posted by gie_chloe | Comments: (0)

Posted in animals , photoholic

Not feeling so grand lately. The smile plastered across my face is peeling off. I wish I could put a finger to what's bothering me. But to not being able to do so, is bothering me too. I want to eat like a glutton but the horrible ulcers aren't helping. I want to buy new shoes to replace a worn-out flats but my wallet isn't helping. I want to have a small furry animal as a companion but The Mother (plus current collection of two fishies) isn't helping. I want to move on to a new environment but the economy isn't helping. I want to get things done in this current situation but the past isn't helping. I want to be happy but the devil in me isn't helping. I can't even laugh without pausing to wonder, "Was that real or did I just laugh to humour everyone because it seems to be the only right thing to do?"

But oh well, there are a zillion things I want and want to do. So I cannot be satisfied. I just wish my family's complete. A dad who works and brings in a zillion bucks. A mother who's really cool about everything. No siblings. None of those irritating siblings who are out to make my life miserable. And just me who don't have to worried about money. Yes, money. Money can be the death of me. I cannot count. I cannot keep money safe from money-stealing elves. Only recently, I realised the math of interest-rate. By the way, CPF earns a lot from interest accumulation. That could be one reason why we have so much in the reserves.

I'm a late-bloomer. I guess that explains the 'growing pains' I'm going through now. 10 years later than the rest of my peers.

Is it un-girl to like Siamese Fighting Fish? Heh. Last night, Archie got me a surprise - three fighting fishes (aka Bettas) courtesy of his Betta-breeder friend. After some consideration, I decided to bring just one home from Archie's place. This decision proved to be right, because only five minutes into the car ride, one-third of the glass tank's water was spilled all over my Anise black skirt. -_-"

A marine blue longtail. Halfmoon? Delta tail? Super delta? I'm still figuring out which breed this is... I have been reading up so much about dwarf hamsters (the plan was to get one this month...) but guess now my focus could change =)

This week has been exciting. Archie has gotten positive reviews for his shirt design proposal to Parco. I am having new ideas to elevate my passion into a potential business plan. I'm pretty psyched. All I need is a time-travel machine to bring me forward into the future. Fast. =)

Archie was perplexed when I waxed lyrical of Ministry of Food's dessert for days. It seemed to him that I've never been so enthusiastic about a single ice cream palour so much until now. (I always do, but he probably didn't notice) The first visit with Wei simply wasn't suffice. I craved for more of its Hokkiado Gelato and macha ice cream. So good that it could kick Azubo's lousy (and over-priced) ice cream's arse over and over again.

Just one sip of Macha Shake, Archie raised his eyebrows, "UM! Very nice. Babe, you should try,"

Told you so.

Archie pocketed Eeyore and drove home (literally) =) Though I wished it's a real dwarf hamster coming home with us. I like the lil' break. Away from work. Away from hypocrisy. Away from gatekeepers. A breather is always underrated.

colours

I love colours. I'd die a very happy girl if I could own all the colourful ribbons in the world. Archie, you heard me~!

I've been busying myself with an once-favourite hobby - cross-stitching. Very old school. Heh. All the colours... makes my heart warm and fuzzy. =D

Posted in animals , c'est ma vie

Inexperience and naivety has caused some unhappiness in my life recently. 'Communication' always seemed... straightforward on paper and theory. We can yaba all philosophies we think we know but when faced with a real-life situation, the words we know are stuck at the tip of our tongues and left hanging there. Perhaps my naivety has lead me to assume that the lil tidbits in life aren't that complicated after all. Why allow noises by the side distort the meaning of what is plain and simple?

But like I said, my naivety got me into trouble. I am now questioning my stamina to mental-juggle so many 'situations' lately. I feel like just heaving a long sigh then say, "Okay I give up,"

I would like to put those stuff way behind me. But you know, once cut, the scar remains there to remind you. It may not hurt anymore, but can you forget how it happened? There're too many times I could have exclaimed, "See! I told you right from the beginning it wouldn't work!"

I'm still hanging there. By the tip of my nail. Trying to stay calm and not to pysch myself to take the plunge.

What is the most ridiculous thing you've ever done to keep the relationship with your partner together?

Well, not really. =) Archie and I had a morning walk at MacRichte Reservoir. My second time hiking in the park. We took a slightly different route this time and took in the wonderful bird's eye view of the entire reserve at the top of Jelutong Tower. Pity I left my Sony Cybershot's battery in office (i was charging it and forgot!!); I could have taken some good pictures.

Ah, anyway we're visiting the museum tomorrow. Despite the not-so-fantastic review Karen gave, I still would like to view the Kangxi exhibition. It's open house day this weekend anyway. But I will brace myself for screaming running kids and jolting crowds. Hopefully not! I hope the crowd (whoever it consists of) goes to Orchard Road and shop their arses off and stay away from the museum!

The creature found itself a very comfortable spot on the outside of the window panel. No matter how hard I knock on the glass, it wouldn't budge nor open its eyes. Lazy shit.

Some days I just don't feel like using too much of my brain. Today's one of those days.

I'm back, mon chou!

Packing my bags on the last night in Bangalore was... surreal but nice. 14 days is only two weeks but it seemed like eternity.

Even teddy couldn't help but let out his little subtle smile.
