w|cked weather

The weather has been so wicked that i'm not even recovering from my flu. It has been 2 weeks now and i'm still having my flu that comes with a package(blocked nose at night, running nose in the day time). I've taken medication but it doesn't seem to be WORKING!!! I'm getting frustrated with this influenza of mine coz nothing seems to be working.



Anyway on a happier note, I'm thinking of purchasing a digital cam. This would be my first techie gadget that I'm getting for myself as i've always been a princezz in the family. I like the Sony Cybershot T70 Cam and it's less than RM1K back home and it comes with a 2gb memory stick plus casing. The colour i'm getting is WHITE! Hah....... Classy-a!!! Still doing my marketing research as I believe the prices are lower now. So I'm enlisting my 'aide' guidance to source for me the cheapest T70 back home. Can't wait to purchase this as this would be my first prize possession using my OWN money! ^_^



Thank you my darlins for helping me!!! Love you guys!!

Toodles~~

Cheszter my adorable glutton American Cocker Spaniel

I miss my dog so much that i've decided to write all about him in this post.




How I got Cheszter? Well, it's fated that after so many years of unsuccessful dog rearing in my place, I got Cheszter; a pure breed and a show dog FOC. I do not know how but I somehow got to know this breeder who incidentally was in my MSN list eventhough we did not add each other.






Of coz I went through an interview to determine whether i was a suitable dog owner by the breeder. Things went on so smoothly that I was about to be given a pair of ACS (male and female) but because my place is not big, mom insists that I can only have one. So I have to decide whether the male or the female, I love the female coz she's so 'girl-girl' but PMS trouble would be another problem. So, I've decided to have the male one.


He came back with me to his new place on the 3/10/2006 with his mangled fur, smelly and sad puppy eyes. Oh, when we took him back, I let him sit on my lap with the windows opened as I know dogs love that but that stupid eediot has decided to shit on me coz he was too excited. Had to endure the shitty smell till I reach home.



Next day, I took him to the groomer to be shaven all of his old mangled fur. He came back looking so scrawny and malnourished. After that cleaning, he was christianed Cheszter and had everything new. Bro was so excited that he took dad to buy his bowl, his shampoo, his food etc.


Of course when i took him back, my dad was asleep but when he woke up and cheszter started barking as the dog thought there were strangers outside and when he rushed out, dad was giving me his most 'thunderous' look of death and keep telling me that keeping him is not a good choice as our neighbours will be giving us problems.




Day by day, my dog won my whole family over with his klutzy fatty bottom and his glutton tricks. Now I wouldn't consider him a dog but a family member now. Dad always pamper him by buying raw chicken wings back from Tesco so that Mom can cook the wings with rice for cheszter's dinner. Sometimes when I'm home, I caught mom giving him half boiled eggs for breakfast or even cornflakes or sandwich. Can you imagine how pampered my dog is now? Not to mention, he's fatter than before. He was about 11kgs when we took him back and now, he's a heavy 14kg dog which is a bit fat for his breed. He eats little for his meals, but the 'in-between' snacks my dad feed him is a lot. Best part is he knows how to 'beg' for his food, 'behave' for his food and become a maniac when he sees us lifting his blue bowl. Because he's such a glutton, teaching him tricks were a breeze. Lately, my bro n dad has been teaching him to 'bark' to get what he wants from them. It's not the threatening barking but the silly whining and barking just to get his favourite treat.





There was once, mom took some sausages out to cook for dinner to defrost. She left it on the kitchen counter and the next thing she knows, my dog has somewhat pulled the bag of sausages down and managed to eat all of them while my mom took a nap in her room. Mom was of coz furious but she still laughs about it.




Now i'm in Ulu land and Cheszter is back in Malaysia, I miss him so terribly with his silly antics and how he used to snuggle to sleep with me at night. I miss him so much till i dream of him and it was so realistic that I thought he was sleeping next to me. Can't wait to be back home and playing with him and letting him sleep next to me all cuddled up that you even have your own fur face heater. ^_^ *sniff* *sniff*

unbelievable but true

It's been nearly 2 weeks in Canberra and i'm still not out venturing new places but staying home most of the time. It's been depressing but I know I will pull through this one. It's just a matter of time. Can you believe it that i've not been shopping for anything since my first day here besides the usual groceries and toiletries?? Unbelievable huh?

Anyway am looking for a new place to move into my own as staying with 'dirty' hsemate is a nightmare. I've got a gwai lo and a yellow hsemate and they are both females. But of course my gwai lo hsemate is a lil cleaner than the yellow one. Just imagine this scenario where her soiled pads are still in the rubbish bin in the toilet and bathroom, unrolled and hasn't been thrown away since like... my first day or maybe earlier than that? It's so gross but she's barely around, so i don't see her much to tell her off. Should i write a note? It's gotta be embarassing for both parties especially when you get a note from your hsemate asking you to please throw away your soiled pads. It's not only in the toilet but it's in the bathroom as well. So just imagine how many months of soiled pads has she accummulated before she decides to throw it away. *shudders*

I would like to so post up the pics for you to see but then again, if you see it, you might not have your appetite for like 3 months, which is a good diet thingy by the way. :p

Besides that, she is like this scrawny yellow gal but yet she walks like this huge rhino+sumo+the rock+elephant+goths and whatever rojak loud things that walk loudly. I can hear her climbing up the stairs, i know her movement in the house as well. Coz this silly yellow likes to slam & bang the doors (bathroom, toilet, bedroom, main door) and walks like an elephant and I bet elephant doesn't make that much noise when they walk. I actually like my current rented place but staying with an ickie housemate is a NO NO!!!

I've been here for like 2 weeks now and i still see the soiled pads and liners in both toilet and bathroom, so you can imagine how grossed i was and still is when i share the bathroom/toilet with her. She is one helluva woman i tell you. If she was my mom's daughter, i bet my mom would have killed her for being such a "dirty gal". No pun intended. Anyway i'm giving her till next week to throw her 'soiled' stuff away. If not, i'm going to start leaving mine around as well. Just to let her taste her own medicine, but then I would be so gross out that i would definitely NOT win this 'dirty' competition.
