humidity

Posted on by

..is almost unbearable.

Contemplating going swimming later. But I’m gonna end up sweating even more. Sure, you’re in the cool water, but what happens when you step out of the swim and head back home? You sweat, cos your body’s still in exercise mode. -_-”

Was gonna head out for dinner with Joanna tonight, but something cropped up at the last minute. Bah. =P Ah wells, another night perhaps! Spent the day reading a book, magic-cleaning the floor, doing some work for a client, playing Restaurant City, and then some job hunting. I reckon I can’t keep looking for jobs on a daily basis. There would be nothing. It has to be on alternate days or something.

All that waiting..zzzz.

Marcus exploring.

Last evening, Donald had the window open and then Marcus decided that he’ll come out of his little corner (where he’s coming out from in the photo), and check out life outside the bubble called a house. Both Donald and I went “woah!” when he did that. haha. We don’t know if the cats will jump out of the windows yet, but we’re not about to take any chances. haha. But I think they are cool, they are happy where they are and probably won’t head out.

The boys are currently dead to the world. I reckon even the humidity is too much for them to bear. I think Marcus is really smart. He’s been dying to go inside our bedroom, but after 2 nights of ignoring the scratching and meowing, he’s not done anything last night! Either that, or I was dead to the world too. haha. Chances are that I think Marcus got the idea that he won’t be able to enter the room.

Now Thomas. He got into BIG trouble. I had left the bedroom door open for like 2 secs and he snuck in, and before I could do anything, our dear little friend went under the bed. No poking or prodding him with the magic-clean stick could get him out. -_- I had to crawl under to drag him out. BAD BAD CAT!!

Been applying for some jobs for the past couple of days. It’s unfortunately a waiting game. Meh. Lunch with Grandma on Thursday, and then with the parents on the same night. I get to cook! Time to check out some decent recipes to try. haha. =)

the level of creepiness

Posted on by

the level of creepiness is just going up big time. haha. In a good way.

Arrived in Singapore on Friday evening, went out for dinner, went home to drop the luggage before rushing out back in the direction of Changi Village to pick my boys up. It was a weird experience, but all good.

Went to site N at Terminal 6 at the Cargo Complex to get the paperwork to set the boys free. Then proceeded to go up to the 3rd floor to hand in some paperwork to receive the boys. One of the customs officers said that he liked Thomas. haha. Only cos Thomas is such a stickler for attention =P. Stooped down to say hi to the boys and saw that Thomas pooped in his cage. -_- It’s gonna be an interesting drive to the AVA office within the Cargo Complex. We got a map from the customs officer and we were on our way to have the boys checked before they are officially released from customs!

We cleared the pooped and made sure Thomas’ paws were wiped (no point, cos he left newspaper paw prints around the toilet……-_-). The AVA guy had a brief look at the boys, checked their microchip, and said that we were almost free to go. We still had to declare the value on the pets (priceless…no? =P) at the GST office near the entrance. Had a brief chat with the AVA guy about Thomas, and how he is definitely a Bengal cat cos of his markings, and that he’s got a long body like a Maine Coon (googled Maine Coon cats and Georgie looks like one!). No, we are not sure if Thomas is a Bengal. He just looks like one!

Anyways, everything was done within 1.5 hours on top of the 1 hour drive to and fro from Changi Village. Thomas had such a pong. Shampoo shopping was next on the list of to-dos and that’s just what we did the next morning. I got 3 new markings on my thigh as a welcome gift from Thomas during the shower as he climbed up me to avoid the rinse. DOH. He still smells tho. Just a little. =P

(it’s almost as tho he heard me type the previous sentence, cos the moment I finished, he meowed at me. hehe)

Right apart from that..still adjusting into Singapore life, wishing people around were a little more gracious. haha. Okay, shall not complain the moment I get home. =P

Went out for a pig out sesh with Donald, and his parents yesterday at the Merchant Court hotel. Buffet at the same place two weeks in a row! hahaha. I really enjoyed the pig out sesh with Ken, Tina & Leon the first time. We spent almost 3.5 hours there, and we talked and ate and talked and ate more. Those were good times. Then the four of us sat outside the hotel waiting for Donald to arrive to pick me up and we talked more =P For that kind of company, it was good to be back. *beams* But yes, pig out sesh last night. The males in the family ate so much that they looked REALLY uncomfortable. hahaha. It was quite funny. But I was more thorough with the dessert section this time round. Didn’t get a chance to go through the dessert selection the previous time. Thank goodness Donald and I went swimming last arvo to work up a decent appetite.

Of course I paid my dues for it this morning. Woke up and went to the gym for a 30min work out sesh. And sadly, I only lost 73 calories on the treadmill. Slowly but surely. I had the stamina to run, it was just that I was bored after a while. Meh.

Oh yes, I digressed. the main reason for that title. haha. See, when Donald found out that we studied at the same polytechnic and that he was in Year 3 when I was in Year 1 (different faculty mind you), he went out about how we could have met in the same canteen, shared the same fork *roll eyes* and probably sat somewhere close to each other, waited at the bus stop..yada yada yada. Look, given the way he looked back then (yes, I’m superficial then, and he did look UBER GEEKY!! hahahahah), I probably wouldn’t have given him the time of the day. and yes, I told him that =P But yes, Donald reckons we were meant to be together. Not then, but eventually. You know, crossing each other’s paths..etc etc.

And then last night, we were talking about swimming and working up an appetite, and then talked about our primary schools, and swimming lessons. Donald’s mom then talked about having to send Donald for swimming lessons at Bedok Swimming Complex. And then she said that Donald’s swimming instructor was Roland.

WTH…and Roland was my neighbour 1 floor down from me when I lived in Bedok South like yonks ago, and was a swimming instructor (probably still is?). Not saying that I would have met Donald then cos I have only come across Roland giving lessons at Bedok Swimming Complex like..less than 5 times?? But how creepy is that!?!? Some 6 degrees of separation then.

Of course, by now, we will all know how Donald is going to go on about us definitely being destined to be together. -_- hahahaha

but yes, strange how the world works, no? =P

party

sunset along Matilda Bay, Perth

Spent Thursday evening walking along Matilda Bay with a friend, Jonno, who so kindly accompanied me to check out nice spots for a gathering happening next Saturday for my going-away. I’ve lived in Perth for 3 years now, and haven’t walked along that stretch. And to think I studied around that area and lived there for almost a year too!

I still can’t believe we walked for 2 hours though. We weren’t rushing, just walking along the bay. My feet was so sore after though. Was so glad that I decided to go home and change before coming out again.

Digressing: lol, just saw someone picking up my kerbside trash! the white little bench is gone. I hope someone will do some work to it and make it pretty again, like I was going to do. =(

Now, yes. Went home and changed into shorts and thongs. It was a long sweaty walk. I sure couldn’t really trust my feet to drive, but I got home in one piece. =D Also decided on a nice little spot at the end of Matilda Bay. *beams*

Took the boys for their vaccination today. Thomas was whinging as usual and had his 可怜 face on. haha. But it was all good. Was gonna go with Liza later that morning. To a certain extent, I’m glad we didn’t. I could barely handle two cats by myself, what more about 4 cats with 2 of us! I dropped by Peter’s to drop the cages off, and saw that they were having ‘fun’ putting their cats in. haha. So just as well I split the appointments. Now we have nice certificates to prove that the boys have had their jabs, yay!

Been tidying up the house bit by bit, room by room, slowly dismantling stuff and sorting out the stuff that are wanted by some of my friends. All to be picked up next week, hopefully. hehe. I should be busy enough next week to make the week fly by, and then it will be THE week where all the boxes gets picked up. Sold the piano today! Very happy it’s going to a good home. =D

Exciting, and not terribly exciting. Mixed feelings. But oh wells I guess.
