Today, I was holding Rinko’s poo with the kitchen towel in my hand while waiting for Jackie to get a plastic bag from the storeroom when Rinko demanded me to carry him. With one hand occupied, I couldn’t possibly carry him.

When I finally got to throw the poo into the plastic bag and washed my hands, our little Rinko got angry. So, he decided to show his unhappiness in his own way.

He raised his leg and peed on my right foot!!! “Spare the rod, spoil the child”, in my case it’s “Spare the rod, spoil the dog”. I must have spoilt this little dog of mine too much for him to show such disrespect to me.

Later he knew I was angry and kept a distance from me until I decide to speak to him. Nevertheless,  we’re still bringing Kookie and him to Sentosa for a little picnic on 21st September to celebrate their birthdays. Anyone’s keen to join us?

My bowling technique has always been poor such that my score multiplied by 2 still loses to Jackie. Somehow, the ball will end up cleaning the ‘drain’.

Today, we had a bad bowling experience in Hougang Superbowl. We had 3 different groups of bowlers on the lane on our left but all of them had the same bad habit. A few times we had our throws interrupted: we were already getting ready to throw our balls, but they seem to ignore this point and went ahead to throw their balls.

The 2nd group of people from China (I decided to edit this word from PRCs as it doesn’t sound nice) were the limit. I ended up moving a few steps ready to throw my ball only to find myself having to stop the momentum as they had went ahead of me to throw their balls.

Therefore, I decided to post this bowling etiquette which I’ve found on the Internet:

1 ) DO yield the ‘right of way’ When two bowlers are on adjacent lanes, and simultaneously ready to bowl, the bowler on the right delivers first. The other bowler ought to remain off or to the rear of the approach area. This rule doesn’t apply if the bowler on the left is shooting for a spare.

2 ) DON’T take a practice swing with your bowling ball on the concourse or behind the approach. Wait until you are upon the approach itself before doing any practice exercises.

3 ) DO be ready when it’s your turn to bowl. Remain in your lane area while your teammates are bowling, don’t wander off.

4 ) DON’T use an excessive amount of body gyrations at the foul line after delivering the ball. Confine your body ‘English’ to your own lane.

5 ) DO bowl immediately when it is your turn. Once you have your ball, assume your stance and start your delivery, it isn’t necessary to wait for lanes on either side of you to be cleared before you bowl, just observe the ‘right of way’ rule.

6 ) DON’T bring food or drink into the settee or bowlers area, a drop of liquid or any type of foreign substance spilled on the approach could cause a slip and serious injury.

7 ) DO wait until you have completed the frame before checking your score. Don’t come back to the scorekeeper after the first ball has been rolled.

8 ) DON’T bench jockey while others are bowling. Friendly bantering is an accepted part of the sport, but don’t overdo it. Be a good competitor.

9 ) DO return your bowling shoes to the counter control desk after bowling, and if you’ve borrowed a ‘house ball’ return it to the storage rack.

10 ) DON’T linger at the foul line after releasing the ball. As soon as your ball hits the pins return to your seat.

In this hot weather, one of my favourite drinks is the new Sunkist 100% Orange and Pink Grapefruit Juice. I’m not able to find a picture of this product on the Internet, but I’ll take a picture of it and post it up soon.

一时糊涂 不能就不算湖涂
害得你痛苦 我的内心满是酸楚
只能看着你哭 我却不能安抚 太无助

无心错误 毕竟还是错误
我承认我贪图 才对美丽把持不住
意乱情迷以后 我也慌了脚步
请相信我撒谎 也是怕你痛苦

有时候因为一次温柔的原谅
女人会看见男人忏悔痛哭一场
那天起整个人都变得很不一样
懂幸福就在身旁不该去远方

能不能给我一次含泪的原谅
让我的心被真爱救赎变得坚强
能抵挡一切浪漫诱惑躲开荒唐
只努力用一辈子深爱来补偿
有没有机会用一辈子来补偿

I was very touched when I 1st heard this song that 苏有朋sang, but I’ve never expected that I would be one of the lead characters one day.

I have to admit that if someone ever betrays my trust, it’ll be very hard for him to regain my trust again. Yet, I broke my principle again and again just for this person. Like what someone posted on her blog, “give the person one tight slap for being the jerk”. The problem is people whom we trust actually supported his actions.

This person not only betrayed my trust, but has also made me a devil in the presence of all his friends and relatives. The irony is: so far, no one I knew has heard any complaints about him.

All I can say is this will be the last last chance given to this person…

I had wanted to see a doctor last night but decided to go for class instead.

I was given a urine test and was advised by the doctor to drink more water and to go back for a review 10 days later.

I think my body is really getting weaker and weaker. I was actually given 3 doses of antibotics for this whole month, twice for my throat infection earlier this month and now for this. Let’s hope that my immune system will build up and will not be sick again for the rest of the year.

2nd fever was the one I just mentioned, on Labour Day’s eve. 3rd fever, Today. The clinic opens at 9.00am, I reached there at 9.15am. Guess what time the doctor came? He came at 9.50am!!! If there was an emergency case, the patient would have been dead by then.

Nevertheless, thanks to his medicine, I’ve almost recovered by now

Vanessa drove me to the clinic. I’ve got a fever of 38.9°C. This is the worst fever I had so far. Bodyache, headache almost drove me to take sick leave from work. However, as we had only 3 support staff yesterday, I forced myself to survive though. Moreover, I’m still under probation. Any sick leave taken will still be considered no pay leave.

I’m going klunch with Jessie, Jackie, Shunli and his girlfriend today. I’m wondering how am I able to sing when my plegm contains blood? Wish me good luck…

It’s sad to know that out of 26 of us, only 3 managed to pass our Discrete Mathematics test. (I got 14/15, Gavin [not Gavin Khoo] got 12.5/15 and Mohd got 7.5/15). I really really hope that those who made the effort to request for revision with me are able to score well for the re-test.

To all, Happy St Valentine’s Day and Happy Chinese New Year in advance!!!

P.S. I’m still waiting for Tirta to pass me the IT Department lunch photos to load here. Hope it won’t be after I leave this company…..

The continuous rain reminds me of a nursery song which I’ve learnt when I was young:

Rain, Rain, Go Away,

Come again another day,

Little Suzy wants to play.

I agree that this is an additional security feature, but it also means whenever I go out, I have to bring that device with me to be able to access Internet Banking. The device is approximately 5cm by 1.5cm by 1cm thick which is about twice the thickness of my thumbdrive, but don’t expect me to bring it out because typical items like Nintendo DS Lite, pencil case, MP3 Player, thumbdrive, W850i and my dutiful Exilim are already taking up so much space. Moreover, I’m good at misplacing items.

Having to remember passwords with different requirements is already a chore to me, now I have to remember where I place that device *thinking which location in her room did she leave it on*.
