Welcome Home Elliot!=)
say hello to Elliot!=) the CAIRN TERRIER from the SPCA. after searching for soo long.managed to set my eyes on Elliot.=)
went to the SPCA on Saturday, the place was packed.public holiday crowd.haha.walked around to see the dogs available. set my eyes on Elliot.strange, no one stopped by his cage to look.i guess everyone else was fixed on a maltease and 2 shitzhus.haha.Elliot saw me, started to lick my fingers. He was really tame and gentle. i asked the person in charge what happened to him and they said he was a lost dog.poor thing. the minute i saw him, i fell in love with him. my dad said ok as well.and all we had to do was to bring my mum down the next day to finish up the adoption procedure.
Sunday( Today) came. i excitedly left church for SPCA. finished up the paperwork, and headed down to Pet Lovers Centre to give Elliot a haircut and nail trim!haha.he was pretty well behaved in the car, in the shopping centre and in the groomers as well. i had to carry him in VIVO with curious stares from all the shoppers. and my gosh.HE IS HEAVY. I would say he is about 7-10kg?haha.i carried him for about 5 minutes and my arms felt like it was about to break off from my shoulder socket!bought Elliot a new leash and harness!combs and one big bag of food!maintaining a dog seriously aint cheap man.spent about 200 in total in one day!
Elliot came home. as usual, sniffed all around. and not once did he make trouble.cept for the time he sneakily climbed up the stairs though we told him NO.haha. very very gentle and tame. he did not give us trouble SO FAR=).
Elliot the lazy dog.
had a simple home cooked dinner today, coz we celebrated Mother's day last saturday alr where the whole extended family could make it.GUESS WHAT MUM MADE!!
you guessed it!CRABS
=)
haha.kudos to mum's chilli crabs.made my mouth water non stop!and yes. i was the only one in the family to polish the crabs off!everyone else was too full.haha.
thick juicy meat,with slight spicyness and the "everymouth got egg" feeling ROCKS!
today was a good day!and i am very thankful for it!thankful for Elliot, for my parents in going through all the trouble to get me this dog and thankful for my mum and her superb culinary skills=)

CRAB CRAB CRAB.
1 week has passed really fast. and i have effectively "enjoyed" my first week of the holidays.haha.while some people have just started theirs.ok.i am not GLOATING HERE!but yea.the drawback of ending the exams earlier than everyone else is u got no friends to go out with!ahaha.but nothing beats sleeping in LATE=)
did alot of climbing this week.getting back my strength.slowly.and praise the Lord.my pulley injury doesnt hurt as much as before BUT my middle finger's knuckle is pretty inflammed.so inflammed that i cannot straighten it=(but yea.thats the price to pay for climbing.but that will not stop me!
had dinner with reg,jud and ely at Thai Express last night.jansen backed out.he sensed a "girls outing" at work.haha.had my all time favourite soft shell curried crab.but the portion was not only SMALL.but the curry gravy was so little the whole meal tasted DRY.sigh.thai express is clearly losing their standard.
I HAD CHILLI CRAB FOR DINNER TODAY!jansen and i went into some ulu area.yio chu kang or yishun i cannot remember!hahha.some famous seafood restaurant (Ban Leong).saw the BIG CRAB SIGN!asked for the price of the crabs.past our budget!=(i gave a sad look.haha.but we went ahead to order our ordinary fried rice and bee hoon.we were almost through with our food.all around me.people were eating crabs.i couldnt take it.i gave a sad and pathetic face to jansen and asked if we can order a small crab.i didnt mind paying for it.the craving was too strong.haha.he relented!i grinned from ear to ear.and ordered the famous CHILLI CRAB!
IT FINALLY CAME....and guess what.the chilli was really chilli crab!i though it would be more sweet than spicy.i took one mouth and almost died.but i knew i couldnt give up!haha.jansen kept laughin at me.but yes.i did enjoy the crab.cant wait to eat crabs again!.
had a good day out with him today.holidays rock.
and good news.my attachment to the prison has been postponed to 18 may instead of 11 may!yay!1 more week of holiday!haha
I LOVE CRABS.

Praise the Lord=)
yay!guess what is my first topic for my blog!
YOU GUESSED IT.
I am So done for the semester year of 2008/2009!woohoo.ended my exams yesterday at 7pm.didnt rejoice outwardly i guess.haha.coz it was an open book exam..so i kinda rejoiced on Monday, when i ended my second last paper.lets just say SW3201 was kinda easy till it became hard to do.if you guys out there know what i mean=)haha.OPEN BOOK+straightforward questions=recipe for disaster because you want to write everything in, yet no enough time.boo
ok.enough abt exams otherwise the other poor people who still have 2 or 3 more papers will come after me.haha.
Celebrated my Grandmother's birthday at Paris Restaurant, and since Mother's day is always after my grandma's birthday, the whole family have always celebrated it together.haha.so this year it was at Paris.
went there with high expectations, coz the buffet per person is supposed to be pretty ex.and the first thing i saw was OYSTERS!yummy,my favourite food of the day.followed by SALMON SASHIMI!mmmm.and then the crabs which got snatched up everytime a newplatter was displayed.which reminds me. i need to complain of the ugliness of the Singaporean attitude towards a buffet
it disgusted me so much, swarms of people flew to the poor pathetic crab platter with all the aunties rushing in to snatch up the crabs.i was queuing up and i got pushed out of the queue.i was pissed. thank God for my long hands. i used another set of thongs from the next dish to scoop some crabs onto my plate.without disturbing anyone. there was this particular aunty who barged in, said SORRY ARH!TOOK A WHOLE PLATE OF CRABS and passed the thong onto the next person.THE NEXT BEST THING SHE DID:"excuse me, can you help me grab the nutcracker?"the one used to crack the crab shell.not only did she CUT QUEUE, but she made others take stuff for her when she could have gone round to the other side, which was only 5cm away?gosh.such sights are better kept at home.seriously.
i broke a plate. some woman bumped into me, she was rushing for food.as if the food would run away.but then again, yes.food does run, and the people are the ones "taking them out for the run".ok.its ok if u dont get the joke.haha=)the plate fell out of my hand and landed right infront of my cousin's feet.it shattered into a million pieces.thank God my cousin didnt get any cuts. i was so embarrassed. and yea.thank God it was my cousin whom the plate fell onto.if it was on some uncle or aunty. i think i would have been dead.
but amidst the gross behaviour of these people, heres wishing my grandma HAPPY BIRTHDAY!=)
went to climb asia after lunch.climbed with suemay,adriel and chris.and of course, in CLimb Asia, you will never get bored.every climber knows each other.and everyone is friendly.did some crazy routes.ok.maybe not crazy to everyone.but crazy for me.considering that i have not climbed for almost 3 weeks!haha.with a pulley injury still on the road to recovery.and my forever swollen and inflammed middle finger knuckle=(sighh.
i always thought the more you work out, the fitter and healthier you are.so why am i getting all the aches,back pain,swollen joints,etc when i work out.haha.tell me tell me.somebody.i guess thats the drawback when you push your body too much.but yes.i do feel a lil,just a lil stronger after today's climb.i realised my skin on my hand is kinda thin.less than 2 hours of boulderin and i felt as if every tile i held was a sharp knife piercing into my fingers!it was really that bad=(booo.
time to moisturise my hands less.haha.but i still want smooth hands!and still climb well.can i?=)
ok.i shall stop here.im nursing a very strained neck.not sure if it was how i slept last night.i cannot turn to my right.gota turn my whole body. i was kinda worried when i drove my dad's car today. i was afraid i couldnt turn my head to check my blind spot.thank God for mirrors,and the relative empty roads today.hahaha.
AND YES.ALL THE BEST TO ALL WHO ARE STILL MUGGING HARD FOR YOUR EXAMS.jia you=)and that includes u jansen.stop beast waring!haha.=)
