Sorry, Sorry, SORRY!

My AAS#002's late. I noe I noe...

I've let all my fans down. I noe I noe...

Its unethical for me not to adhere to the deadline. I noe I noe...

I've failed in my role. Totally. I noe I noe...


BUT, can I have a chance for redemption not?

I knew you all are nice pple... pleassseeeee??? *signature puppy eyes*

SMoooccch... I knew you guys would give me another chance!!!

Okie. Here's wat happened.

Started on this 2nd issue like donkey years ago. Or shd I say, I ATTEMPTED to start on it donkey years ago. However, your dearest Aunt Aggie couldn't make up her mind on the topic of this 2nd issue! I gave a title, wrote a paragraph, and den realised its not good a topic enough and deleted both the title and dat paragraph, and den decided I shd come back with a better topic the next day. Well, then the same thing happened the next day and this cycle went on and on till last Friday.

Wrote quite a constructive bit last Friday and I was super sure I would be able to get it out by Sat. Then, on dat fateful Saturday, as I tried to continue, I realised I wanna deleted the topic and watever constructive bit I wrote again! Damn. I couldn't give up. Simply not, for the sake of all fans. So I tried to get into the "Aunt Aggie Mode" by dimming the lights in my room (basically I juz switched off all lights except the one beside my bed), lighting some aroma therapy thingy, got my dose of Ribena (real cold) by my computer and playing real sentimental music in the background. I thot I was all set. As I embarked to continue on this 2nd issue, I...


started to feel SLEEPY. *yawns*

Hahaha... yeah yeah. I can imagine the looks on your faces.

"You PIG! We waited for like 4 bloody weeks and you are telling us we're gonna miss #002 because you wanna SLEEP???"

Calm down, calm down.

At least I'm honest rite? Dun I deserve credit for being truthful? Hmm?

Its all the dimming of lights and lighting of aroma-therapy thingy's fault lah! And my bed's simply too hard to resist. Especially when Mummy just bought me a new pillow. I knew I just had to try dat. Rite, rite? *Puppy eyes again*

Okie, so I told myself dat I would still have Sunday.

I was awaken by the sound of some elephant walking in and outta my room, occassionally dropping bombs (in the form of clothings or books or watever) onto my feet. Somehow, I thot I heard the wake-up call from Mummy. "Bee, sun shining onto your fat ass liao still dun wanna wake up issit?", "Bee, dun sleep liao, wake up and fold your clothes!" (dat explains the clothy bombs), "BEE, STILL DUN WANNA WAKE UP AH???".

"Replied" Mummy with occassional "Orh"s and "Em"s. But was still cruising in Dreamland. Then, Mummy decided to use the last resort.

"Bee, u sure u dun wanna wake up? Your breakfast's getting cold oh..."

Dats the trick man! Way to go, Mum!

I got up. Heez.

Had a hearty breakfast and was just getting down to warm up for #002 when Mummy decided it was "Spring Cleaning Sunday". Aaaiiiyyyaaahhh....

Spent the entire day clearing up just one corner of my room and was super tired at dinner time. Had a hearty dinner (I usually make sure all my meals are hearty) and wanted to settle down to working on AAS after checking out wats on TV.

As I was surfing the channels, hey! I saw a back-dated Stephen Chow's show! Used to love his shows back when I was in Primary School and this one's one of the classics. "Tao2 Xue2 Wei1 Long2 Part II" ! I like I like!

I had to watch it.

The show ended at 9.30pm and I went on to watch Zhang Fei's lousy Taiwanese Variety show, occassionally surfing in to Ch 8 Jacky Wu's one for Ruhua. Happily enjoying myself surfing the channels and realised dat its a freaking 11am already. Oh. Bedtime. Went to bed and totally forgot all about AAS.

Damn.

Scold me! Curse me! Throw rotten eggs at me! Put me in a guni sack and thrash me! Tell DT my weight! Burn my bed and new pillow!

Yeah, I agree its a rather shitty explanation.

But, at least its true. Hor?

Its a Beautiful Day

Today's a beautiful day because:

1. Ah Bui's safely home!

Dad and Mummy (she fell asleep waiting for him) waited the entire nite for him because he did not bring his keys with him and is supposed to reach hme at 4am today. Well, tink plane got delayed or he went shopping at duty-free, coz he reached home only at 6am. Poor Mummy and Dad. Waited for 2 entire hours in kan cheong-ness. Yeah, I was sleeping like a log since 10pm. The "sleep trance" caught up with me again.

Got awaken by the thundering conversation between Ah Bui and Mummy. Pissed. But, pissed-ness went away almost immediately because Mummy bought breakfast and Ah Bui got me a pressie from Thailand! So happy! (See? I'm so easy to please actually.)

2. Its Friday!

My favourite day of the week. This Friday, particularly, been long awaited. Because... I'm meeting my ex-shitty hole colleagues! Most of us are ex-es now, except for Aunty Krisytne, who still warming her ass there. Dun warm too long hor, will get "chao tar" if you dun exercise enough caution wor.

Going to a new place for dinner with them, then most probably moving on to ktv-ing after dat. I hope the food there is nice. Or at least filling. Ha.

3. I lost 1 kg!

Not much lah. But better than nothing. Have been feeling so low in self-esteem since I've grown fatter and this is very much a motivation for me to do better. Its a good start.


It seems dat things have made a turn for the better these days. Was suffering from mild depression a few mths back. You guys didn't notice, rite?

Didn't have much luck in my job-search and my financial resources were depleting at "lode-runner (or "road runner", watever, who cares anyway) rate. No money, no funny. Worse still, I gained so much weight dat I couldn't even bear to take a second look at myself. Its no wonder I dun have any "yan yu s" (romantic encounters) then. Come to tink of it, its been quite some time since I met "guai shu shu s".

Hmm...

Slimmer= Supposedly prettier=More guai shu shus= Frantic situations.

Damn. Life is full of dilemmas.

Calling Out to Rabbit Lovers!

Hey! Everyone! Anybody interested to join the House Rabbit Society (http://www.hrss.net) with me???

Join lah, join lah... I wanna join but cannot find khakis leh. All my frens are cold-blooded creatures. *humph*

The rabbits would be sooooo cute! Nice and cuddly somemore. Singles out there! Research has shown dat pets are an avenue for higher chances of romance! See? Got added value! For the attached ones, can go there and learn how to give tender loving care and be patient with your partners mah. Can get free entertainment from me also. Good deal wat. Rite? Rite? Huh? Huh?

JOIN LAH... *puppy eyes*

*puppy eyes turned to cold stare*

Nvm, decided dat I shall go ahead and join even if you materialistic, unfeeling, self-centred assholes are not interested. I can go join with my Rara. *humph again* Who knows, I might meet my tall, dark and handsome CHINESE male there. And he's definitely gonna be a rabbit lover. And my Rara will her dream 'Ra" also. Woohoo~ Then you pple are so gonna regret it. So so regret it. *humph to the power of infinity*

Payday!

Finally. I've come to a decision. Yeah. Great. No regrets. No turning back.

Its been a really stressful week for me. Glad its all over. And! There's something to celebrate today! Its PAYDAY! Seemed like a lifetime since my last payday, and I've torturing myself under a LB (low-budget) lifestyle for... em, at least 2 mths? Now its time to CELEBRATE! Yay yay!

I'm a happy gal once more!

Met Jingjing and we both treated ourselves to a sumptuous dinner at Fish & Co. (so Nono, u understand y I had violent objections to going there again this Fri?) Ohh... Yummy! Tried to do some shopping but didn't see anything I fancied. Ended up getting groceries and toiletries for home again. My Ah Soh nature.

I'm going Simei tmr! Getting Rara's medication and " shun bian " go "bio" cute guy at optical shop. *Wolf calls*

Okie lah, going to "bio" cute guy at optical shop and "shun bian" get medication for Rara.

Yup, 2 entries a day. Dats how free I am.

I am waiting for an important call right now and is getting damn frustrated and restless dat that someone hasn't called. The fire's burning up to my ass and my fireman hasn't arrived yet. I've got a real important decision to make tmr and is betting all my chips on the advice dat that someone's gonna give me.

Aaaaaahhhhhh.........

Pek chek.

I hate making decisions. Because I hate making wrong ones. And I ALWAYS make wrong ones. I hate messing up my life. And I ALWAYS mess up my life.

I'm a loser.

Warning: Super Yuan Entry

Its the usual Sunday afternoon. Sleep in, wake up, eat brunch, watch tv, surf net, blog, eat dinner, watch tv, get the Monday blues, iron clothes, sleep.

Well, the life of a singleton. Not exactly a fufilling and exciting one, huh? But, I pretty much enjoy it. No aim, no care, no stress, no one to call, no one calls, no dates, no admirers, no boyfriend, no love.... Argh! Stop me! I wanna lament about life again!

Its nice to know you have all the freedom in the world to do wat u want, hear wat u want, see wat u wan and feel wat you wan. No connecting of any emotional strings to anyone. No hurt, no grieve, no depression, no anger, no waste of precious tears for someone who thinks from waist down. Not bad sia.

But, (I thought of this for a long time) I really DO miss getting hurt, depressed, angry, and crying over someone! I really do. I miss all that are associated with loving someone. SOMEBODY! LOVE ME, HURT ME!!!

Its been so long and I am so afraid I am gonna forget how it is like, to be in love. I am so afraid that I'll lose that feeling, and someday, I'll never wanna get it back. Resistance to belief in true love. Yeah.

I'll get so blinded by the cruelties of this world and eventually get convinced dat fairy tales are strictly fantasy. And only privileges that God has arranged for wat the world had perceived to be "fair" ladies.

I'll just be the fat, ugly and wicked witch who's banished to the end of the world. Detested, forsaken, separated and very soon, forgotten, by all mankind. Concocting love potions to separate couples in love and selling them to other fat & ugly witches like me, plotting evil schemes with my evil sidekick(Rara) and eventually dying vengeful and lonely.

I've thought it through. Maybe it was just not meant to be. SOMEONE's gotta be the evil witch. No evil, where got good? No vengeful spinsters, where got lovey-dovey couples? Life's gotta be balanced.

You couples blissfully in love, you gotta thank me! Without me sacrificing at the other end of the scale, all of you probably would have drowned.

You'll realise it if you could juz stop watever you're doing and, for a moment, "see" and "feel" it with your heart.

SUAY Queen Returns

I had one of the worst start of the week in 20 years. I could easily have entered this day for my Primary School composition writing, titled "The Unluckliest Day of My Life".

First, I woke up late. Opened my eyes and AAAHHH... It was all bright and sunny already! Jumped outta bed (No, I did not wake my neighbours downstairs) and Woosh~ Got my fat ass out of my hse in 20 mins. Because of this, Rara missed her breakfast. She tried the "Puppy Eyes" trick. Too bad, I am a lousy Jie Jie.

Made it in time for the 7.50am bus, all was smooth and steady until I changed bus at after Seletar Camp. It was all a mistake right from the start. I shouldn't have took dat first step. The entire bus was like a SAUNA! Imagine, the air-con's emitting hot air loh! Wah lau, like wat Nono says, this time I really "Han4 Bao3 Bao3" (Sweaty Baby, which means Hamburger too). Fanned myself like an Aunty with my ez-link card. Yah, the effect's barely noticeable. No use actually, but I figured out it was a psychological thingy.

The 20 mins bus ride felt like it lasted a lifetime. Woo, finally, my ordeal was over. Fresh air!

There was more ambush for me in office. Tried to adjust the height of my chair and OUCH! I pricked my thumb into the nails of my chair! I gotta give it credit for waking me up man! Didn't realised how deep a cut it was until it keep bleeding profusely and wouldn't stop even after I put it under a running tap. Yes, it hurts BIG TIME.

Had no plaster with me because I forgot to refill my supply after using up the last one for a blister. KNS. Pressed on the wound with a tissue and finally, it stopped bleeding. I am such a first-aid expert.

But, the hurt remains and now I can't even hold a pen... *grouchy*

Dat was not all. Wanted to get my daily dose of Milo, especially today because I was late and had no time for breakfast. The Milo machine was spoilt!!! Suay! SUay! SUAY AH! Only sugar and bits of milo-looking powder came out!

This plot could easily get me a prize in the East Zone Primary School Essay Competition 2005.

Fans! More Blogging Tmr k?

Hey yo hey yo...

Had a bad day at work and have so many woes to pour out but I simply have no time to elaborate now.

I have a conference call at 10pm (Yes, 10PM. Nope, not video conference because I dun have my network set up at hme yet. Yes, dial in from home. Nope, cannot claim. Yes. Toll-free.) later with the US pple and thus gotta go get prepared for it soon.

I also think the timing suck. Wat to do? Who asked me to work in an MNC? And its a WEEKLY conference loh! Wah leu... I cannot imagine working for more than 12 hours every Wednesday. And, And, I have to attend a conference call in office at 8AM the next day!!! (Weekly one also.) Work late and start early the next day. KNS.

Updates on Rara

Realised I haven been updating you all on Rara these few days, so this entry's specially for those concerned.

She was getting better until last Sat. Well, all my fault. Coz I didn't do a good job in tying her head collar tightly enough and it came off for quite a while. Luckily Mummy discovered it just before she was leaving the hse and got scoundrel to help her secure it back. However, damages are still done. Her wound got all red and some of the healing skin came off. Ouch!

There's something else bothering me. Rara's been having pinkish urine for the past week. Thot it was blood initially, but tink its too light to be blood leh. But it could be a little blood diluted with her urine. Oh no... blood in urine seems rather serious! But I am damn broke leh. No more money to send her to vet. Hope she can tahan till next mth.

Aiyo... I am so gek sim by all these happening to her...

When issit gonna end? Aaaaaahhhhh...........................

"Yuanster" My Foot!

Before I start, I wanna jump up and down joyfully for 20 times first! (Warning: Neighbours staying on 5th floor and below, please evacuate first.)

Something really wonderful happened to me today! I was so damn shocked but I tink I reacted quite well. Hee. But, but, I'm gonna keep it a secret first, will announce BIG BIG and LOUD LOUD when things have actualised and stablised. Those of you pple who already had the sneak preview to it, better keep ya mouth shut! Or else...

And and! I got a fat Angpow (I expect $4 only lah, but its more, more, more!) from my Team Leader! Woohoo~

Hey, I got a couple of comments on my blog! But then hah, u fans out there, can leave your name not? Esp when you leave your comments like u noe me for the past century. Sound so familiar but I still cannot figure out who!

My Brain: "Hah! This person used a lot of lahs and lehs! Muz be A! Eh, no, B also uses a lot of these lahs and lehs leh... okie, so its B. Hey! But C spells her "and" in this way... But den it could be D also leh... coz got grammar mistakes. Maybe E also? Maybe F? Ah hah! Its G lah! Who else so bo liao? Hahaha... I'm so smart... eh, but G married a Martian and migrated to Mars 2 years back leh. WAH LAU! DEN WHO LAH??"

See? I am so confused I am pulling all my hair out! No amt of Yun Nam can save me! Me, although very smart, would prefer to put my precious, high quality brain cells for better use. If u dun wan me to look like "Sam Seng" in Bookworm Club, please sign off. Can not???

And who was the one who suggested I name my blog " Yuanster"? Huh? Huh? Call yourself Anonymous somemore. But I know who you are! I killed like 800 million brain cells and spent 50 light years before I came up with such a "chim" name. You wan me to give it up and change it to some SWA KU and "tu3" name like "Yuanster"?

Fat hope.

By the way, pple who yuan are expected to live longer because research have shown that you cut your life span back by at least 10 years if you bottle up all your feelings and emotions. My pact with DT and Takeshi's still on, so I have to make sure I stay alive wat.

Wats more, I do not yuan (grouch) ALL the time. For those of you who know me well, I am one BUBBLY, CHEERFUL, JOYFUL, OPTIMISTIC gal. Rite rite? (I can visualise u all nodding. Good.) I just get bad experiences and meet ill-mannered pple. To prove my pt, scroll up and read my first and second and third paragraph. Any bit of grouchiness in it? I told you I am one happy gal.

Bloody Rude Angmoh

I am boiling inside and I needa bitch about it before I erupt!

Some F***ing fool pulled out my internet cable when I juz left my desk for about an hour! Without asking for my permission! So bloody rude.

Tamade.

I wanted to stay connected one loh! Today is the BIG day leh! Sicali got "shy" pple wanna ask me out on a date via email, msn, icq, watever, den how? Are you gonna provide for me for the rest of my life??? Made me restart my msn and email somemore. Dunno how to ask also. Wah leu. If cannot find me den dun use lah. Use someone else's lah! Brainless freak!

And some other Angmoh dared to come and tell me, "Hey, my mate stole your cable juz now..."

Mate his head lah! Here not Kangeroo Land leh. Mate, mate... Pui lah!

Still dare to remind me he STOLE it from me. YES! He STOLE loh. (Taking without permission is STEALING.)

Whoever dat "mate is, he shd thank his lucky stars I didn't get to SEE him yet ah! If not I'll use my Body Slam and Flying Thunder Thighs on him. "Watch out, MATE!"

I am feeling less grouchy because I'm savouring a cup of Meiji Yoghurt with Mixed Fruits (Yummy!). Nice.

Dumb Angmoh! U heng ah! This cup of yoghurt's your benefactor.

P/S: Kaoz, INSENSITIVE DC attempted to let me lunch alone again! Luckily my teamleader saved me. FYI, DC, in case you were comtemplating to make my life at Wonderland sucky by letting me lunch alone, YOU HAVE FAILED. LOSER.

Abundant Harvest Everyone?

Time flies this holidays huh? Seems like I was damn busy but frankly speaking, I have no idea what I was busy with. Nope, not the CNY visiting dats tiring me out. In fact, I was done with it during the first 2 days. Reason being, I only have 2 places to go to (maternal and paternal grandparents' hses). Dats all.

Haven't had much luck with mahjong this year. Won $0.60 and $1.70 at SS's and SK's hse respectively. But lost $33 at Shu Shu's hse just now! Ahhhh... so SUAY! KNS. Poor Zolzol, gotta eat bread and skip lunch for the rest of this month. God's will to make me lose some weight.

Went supper after the mahjong session with Shu Shu, ST and RL. Wooh, so much to catch up on!Updated RL who has been MIA-ing for so long. Heehee, got some interesting updates too. BUT, I am not at the liberty to tell! Too bad. Ha.

Ah Bui's been away for overseas training for only 2 days and I'm missing him already! I so regretted not pulling myself outta bed and sending him off the other day. I'm under the "won't-wake-up-unless-my-hse's-on-fire" curse. I didn't get to say BYE! My dear Ah Bui. Although I cannot stand the fact that he sometimes wears my T-shirt and claimed that they are too big for him (too big dun wear lah!), hogs the PC whenever he's hme, think my cooking sucks and refuses to read my blog. I still miss him! At least he's one of those few pple who doesn't haunt me to lose weight, lets me have my way upon the first sign of my whinning and best of all, eats what I cooked despite the fact he tinks its terrible! I wonder how he's doing. Hmm...

Tink Mummy misses him more lah. Coz she used to call him everyday when he was in camp. YES. EVERYDAY. She calls me at the office everyday too. Okie. Fair. Now dat he's not at home, I'm the baby at home. Haha. Enjoying while I can.

Gong Xi Gong Xi

Rooster year's back! Time really flies. The last time where all streets were decorated with rooster-related stuff was like em, 12 years ago? Dat was the year when I took my PSLE! Wah lau leh, looking back, I am so damn old now! So many things have happened like these 12 years. I got my "O"s, "A"s, Degree, knew my frens from Sec sch, jc and Uni (many turned into confidates), numerous crushes, tried my first go at make-up, attended my first prom, my first RA show, my first overseas trip without family, my first job, blah, blah.

Well, some things never change though.

I still like pink, I still am infatuated with Takeshi, I still hate durians, I'm still fat, I still am looking for LOVE!

Relax, relax, Zolynn, Rrrrreeeelllaaaxxx....

okie, change topic. I am not gonna start lamenting about life again.

Let's talk about something happy!

Well, other than remembering CNY for the season where I gotta get interrogated by all SUPER-CONCERNED grannies, aunties and uncles as to when I'm gonna get hitched and the opening sentences "Oh my, you've grown fatter this year!". CNY's got its attractiveness too.

Lotsa goodies at home! My Mummy's always got the "I-am-feeding-an-army-at-home-so-I-gotta-fill-up-all-cabinets-and-fridge-with-food" syndrome whenever the sound of spring knocks. I've got supply enough to last me 3 months. Yay! Food gorging time! Yah, yah, hanah, hanah, control, control. I can imagine pple like JS telling me this , "Better dun eat too much ah, you're getting fatter already. Always say wanna jian fei, but still dun wanna control. Blah blah" k lah, k lah. Got it lah.

Something else to look forward to: Ang Pows!

Woo hoo~ I still consider it a privilege. Haha. I expect better ang pow biz this year, coz I attended like a 101 wedding dinners last year! Its pay back time! Wait a min, did someone say newly weds can choose not to give ang pows for the first year? Oei! Dats so unfair! It muz be the newly weds who came up with this themselves! How can? How can? Sicali I get married this year how? Huh huh? Den I damn Luu Gi leh! KNS. K, juz read my horoscope for Rooster Year 2005. No romance luck. Alright, at least no luu gi so much.

Haha, first Angpow! From Mummy! I noe how much lah. Standard one. Same amount for like 20 years already. But its okie lah, for the significance can liao. She reminded me a zillion times dat I gotta put it in my pocket and sleep with it. For good luck lah. K, noted.

Oh no! Its gonna be 12 am soon! Aiyah! I still got grooming to do! Tmr cannot touch scissors and other sharp objects. Damn.

Gotta fly.

Happy Chinese New Year!

AAS #001: Something About You

Welcome to this very first issue on Aunt Aggie Says (AAS), published on every first Saturday/Sunday of the month.

Here, I share my opinions on BGR. Very often, I play the role of "Aunt Aggie" to people around me, like colleagues, friends and family. Don't ask me why. I am intrigued too. I am a greenhorn when it comes to relationships, simply cannot stand sobbing gals and wishy-washy guys. Thus, to counter the increasing amount of people coming to me for advice, I decided to create a "Aunt Aggie Says" column, where I would give opinions and advice on common BGR problems. Hopefully this will help!

Without further ado (I know you are excited), I shall begin.


I always tell myself that things happen for a reason. And that songs were not written out of nowhere too. I don't know if you guys and gals have heard of this song, "Something About You" by Five for Fighting.

The chorus goes like this:
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that

If I interpret it correctly, it means that there is always this something about your special someone that made you hold on, despite the fact that sometimes it strikes you that he or she is not and will not be someone you could walk hand in hand with, for the rest of your life.

I have heard of many cases of people hanging on, even after their their boyfriends or girlfriends cheated on them, abuse them physically or verbally, stood them up and etc, numerous times. And some eventually marry them! Why? Why? Why? Each time it happened, gals would cry and guys would get dead drunk, then they tell themselves and everyone else that THIS time its REALLY going to be OVER and guess wat? They appear at weekend gatherings together with their partners, ever so lovey-dovey again!

I always tell myself that courtship is merely means that both parties are just "trying things out" and if either one finds that something is simply so wrong (it has to be wrong because if it was right it wouldn't have hurt you so many times), he or she could just walk out.

Yah yah, its so damn easy for me to say, because I haven't been through it. Its just so hard when you're in it. All those good times you shared, all those sweet things he or she has done for you, all those times where he or she would cry and beg you to stay, and tell you how much he or she regretted what they've done. Please! These are all bullshit!

Notice that I used the PAST tense? "shared", "done", "would"? Its all past, get over it! Besides, the fact that it was the "nth" time it happened only means that your boyfriend or girlfriend do not treasure and remisice the good and sweet times like you do. If not, they would have thought twice before repeating it. They know its going to hurt you. Regrets are meant to be taken as learning lessons. The fact that one could regret the same thing over and over again only means that the regret is not painful enough for them to remember. Ha! So the conclusion is, boys and girls, its been a one-man or one-woman show all along.

Number 1 Piece of advice(POA) from Aunt Aggie's Manual(AAM): Its takes 2 hands to clap.

Things are not going to work out if you are the only one really working on the relationship. Its ABOUT the 2 of you. Its going be only a matter of time before you cannot take the strain and give up.

Yes yes yes, you LOVE him or her and you can't live without him or her.

Number 2 POA from AAM: Love, like everything else in this world, is NOT ETERNAL. It transforms into committment, habits (many couples become used to each other), and companionship.

Number 3 POA from AAM: Death will come to nobody just because he or she has lost a loved one. This world is so filled with love, romantic, motherly, fatherly, brotherly, sisterly, love between friends, love for pets, blah blah. Everyone loves someone or something! And everyone or everything dies eventually. So, if someone is SO going to die because someone they love dies, then humans might have been exterminated 200 million years ago.

I am not trying to say that one should walk out of a relationship once he or she felt that something is wrong. The above advice is meant for people who are holding on to a relationship in which he or she has tolerated TOO MANY a times the SAME problem, and this problem has affected them SO much that it was MORE than ONCE it triggered off the "break up" word.

Wrong things happen for a reason too! Many relationships are strengthened because couples are able to make wrong things right.

Number 4 POA from AAM: Nothing's perfect in this world. No one's perfect too. Its just whether you are willing to accept the imperfectness in him or her.


Clause: All opinions and statements made here are highly subjective. Aunt Aggie is not legally liable for any advice taken too seriously.

Updates on Rara (Again)

Yoyo!

Here are the pics of Rara I took while she was hospitalised, as promised. My gal gal, so cute!

I tink the neck collar makes her look like a circus-rabbit.

Well, pple, she's recovering well. No worries! Thanks for all ya concerns and regards.

Oh yah, she was discharged yesterday. Now she's back in cosy home. Dr. Sue taught me all dat was needed to take care of her. So many things to do sia. Wah lau, so troublesome! Gotta clean left eye with saline, take out neck collar, cleanse wound with saline, wipe dry, apply cream, put powder, put back collar, tie collar and give her injections (for her eye lah, but not ON her eye lah, on the bum.) every other day. Not to mention gotta bond whenever possible, feed her, fill water bottle, clean cage... blah blah blah.

Where got time for dates then? I am SO gonna be a spinster. What makes it worse is dat I've just transferred my first month of deposit into "Spinster Funds" to "Rara's funds". Damn, I shd have studied Zoology.

What is a Spinster Fund?

I FINALLY came to my senses dat there is a HIGH chance dat I would not be able to find dat "someone" whom I want to depend on and spend the remaining of my lifetime with, so I decided dat the next best alternative would be to be a RICH and HC (high-class) spinster. Since I'm gonna die lonely, I choose to die RICH and lonely, as compared to POOR and lonely (so pathetic,I can't even buy a toy-boy). So I try to save a *significant amt of money every mth in preparation.

Some more good news:

For those cold-blooded individuals who are starting to get bored reading about Rara everyday, I curse you... em, I mean, I am glad to tell you dat entries on Rara will be greatly reduced and other more interesting ones are expected to follow. Not dat Rara's not interesting though, juz dat I can understand dat not everyone is a caring animal-lover like me.

Also, I have decided to include an "Aunt Aggie Says" every month. Contents would mainly be interesting stories I've gathered in my many years of experience of counselling pple facing BGR problems. Exclusive to my blog readers only!

I am all ready to blog and blog again!

Photos! Photos! Photos!

I finally figured out how to get my pics here! *Pops champagne* And I did it all by myself! (K lah, k lah, got help lah. Thanks! Soo.)

Anyways, Yay!

Busy experimenting how to load pics...

Updates on Rara
She's got better. Thank God. Her self-inflicted wound sort of dried up becoz it didn't come into contact with any of her saliva. Did I tell u guys dat Dr. Sue put a "collar" around her neck to prevent her from reaching her wound? Dat helped a lot actually. But I thought dat collar made Rara look a bit like a circus rabbit. Ha.Took some pics but can't show u all coz I haven had time to get a card reader to transfer all my hp pics here. Give me some time k? Will get it done by next mth.

Back to Rara. Met up with Dr. Chua at the clinic today. Remember her? Just to digress a bit hah, she called me last night just to check on how Rara's doing (she's only on duty on Tues and Sats) and how I was doing. So sweet of her! Guys, I'll help u chk out if she's hitched not, k? Such a nice gal, so caring, and vets earn good livings! Trust me, I've got Rara's medical fees as hard evidence. If interested, pls drop by at Simei Pet Safari, Animal Recovery Clinic, every Tues n Sats, 10am to 8pm. By the way, Dr. Chua told me she did some research on Rara's case (See? I told you she's damn nice.) and came up with a few reasons y Rara would self-inflict injury on herself. Half of the terms mentioned are too chim for me to understand lah. But I gathered dat the gist of it is:

1. Boredom. I might need to get her a toy or another rabbit to accompany her. Another rabbit might agonise her further if she doesn't like him/her (rabbits experience jealousy and rivalry too) and might fight. So, conclusion: Get a toy for her.

2. Mating Stage. Rara's in her stage of life where her hormones are highly active and she might be suffering from a condition of producing excessive hormones. This condition actually cause her to constantly tink dat she's pregnant and will consistant pull out her fur to make a nest. Solution: sterilise her. This way, we could prevent anything similar from happening in the future and her life span might be extended, if she's really suffering from this condition lah.

Haven decided whether I (or rather Rara) wanna go for the sterilisation not. Coz it simply means more money. Her fees are causing quite a financial strain on me. Speaking of which, I have an opening for a "Sugar Daddy/ Mummy" for my Rara. Just $50 a month. Free to visit/pet/ sayang / feed and play with her. Outings are allowed too but her curfew is 11pm. Muz bring back in good condition though. Your identity could be kept secret upon request. Any takers?

Alright, here's the usual blogging.

Went back to work today. Cried myself to sleep last night and ended up with puffy eyes. No amount of make-up could cover up sia. Wah lau eh. So guys, better dun make your galfrens cry coz they get puffy eyes which no amount of Clinique concealer or SKII's Shen Qi Shui (miracle water) could revive.

Felt a lot better though. Might be because I slept more than 8 hrs last nite. Oh yah!My day was brightened coz I met a CUTE guy on the bus. *Wolf calls* Haha. God's gift to me. Yay! Got started on some real work but find it hard to concentrate coz my whole mind was on Rara. Had my first "net meeting" with my team leader who was working from hme. For the benefit of those who are as swa ku as me, a net meeting is like a net conference where you can see each other's desktop and read files from there. This way, you can communicate better coz both parties can refer to and visually see exactly which part of a file they are referring to. Cool hor? But becoz of poor concentration, I made a few mistakes. Luckily it was the first time and my team leader seems alright with it. I hope I didn't leave a bad impression. *crosses fingers*

Saw my uncle at work today. So weird! I'm so used to seeing him at Granny's plc! Well, he's a bit hostile I would say. As in I thot he might pop over to say hi or find me at the co's msn messenger to do so if he's shy lah. But he didn't. I tink it might be because he had a lot of work to clear after being away for a week. K lah, he's forgiven. I'm such a nice gal.

Everyone's been very concerned about my well-being and Rara. Even ex-colleague, JS, was so nice! Hey, to you pals out there, thanks!

Had another Yan Yu (romantic encounter) after visiting Rara today. Walked in an optical shop to get multi-purpose solution for my contacts and woohoo! *Wolf calls again* There was another CUTE GUY! He's one of the sales assistant there. Ladies and kaypoh gentlemen, if you all are interested, he's working at Frames and Lenses Optical Centre, Level 1, Simei, Eastpoint Shopping Centre. Statistics: About 1.78m, Chinese, Stylo, Clean Cut! My type! Haha. But then I tink my first and only conversation with him might have ruined all the good impression he might initially have of me. Here's how it goes:

Cute guy: Can I help you?

Me: Yes, how much is your multi-purpose solution?

Cute guy: $23 for the new one and $20 for the old one.

Me: Wat the difference?

Cute guy: The new one has more chlorine content in it and its supposed to be better for the eyes.

Me: Does it come with a free contacts container and a travel btl pack like this old one?

Cute guy: Sorry but no.

Me: Okie. I'll take the old one then.

I am a cheap-skate aunty! I bought the cheaper one coz it comes with free gifts. Yeah. But makes sense wat. Anyway I've used the old solution for like at least 5 years, and I can still see, so, who cares about more chlorine? And got free gifts somemore. Good deal leh. Besides, I wouldn't wanna risk letting cute guy have a good impression of me over getting a dressing down by Aunty Mummy! Who noes, the cute guy might tink I'm a smart buyer.

2 cute guys in a day! Boy, I am one lucky gal!
