Instead of studying for FC last night, I was re-arranging my room. It's been 1 year 3 months since we shifted here but I have never liked my room arrangement. Everything was not like what I've imagined. So I decided to shift my stuffs around and moved the bed to the other side. That's right, all by myself. Ah ha! Finally I can say that I love my room! Removed the desktop table and it's so much more spacious now. (:

I dislike our new BMic tutor. She is "mute" and "deaf". You can't hear her and neither can she hear you. Really have to shouttttt. Sometimes can't even feel her presence. Prefer Dr Del Sim, who is on maternity leave now.

Collected my report today and when I told mum, she was as happy as me and immediately gave me a kiss. Ha, because we have the same blood group. The biggest compliment to me is to say that I look like my mum, because she's so pretty!
Aunt told me about mum's love life in the past. She was kind of silly, otherwise she would be enjoying her life as a taitai now but of cause, I wouldn't be borned.
Might be celebrating her birthday in advance this coming Sunday.

Earlier on went down to find Shiro(white) and Jerry(tabby). Right, I've confirmed Jerry is a neutered male. No wonder the friendliness. There were so many tabby cats around but you can never miss Jerry because he would walk up to you before you do while the others would run away. Shiro is another cat who is not wary of strangers but not as possessive as Jerry.
I realised that stray cats don't eat kibbles! Perhaps they prefer table scraps. Shall try canned wet food next time.
Haven't been seeing Frankiestein for a long time.. I wonder where he/she is. I need to check again to see whether it's a neutered male or female. >.<

Relatives are coming to our house tomorrow. I doubt I can do much. Shall do my CSAS report tonight! Hopefully.
6:54 PM

6:55 PM

Wanted to go school but I thought it would be better for me to search for a clinic to do my blood test today if I want it by Friday. Most of the clinics are closed except for one near my house. It's gonna be the last time I go to that clinic. I didn't have a very good impression of there the last time I visited as the doctor wasn't very thoughtful. It was a very painful procedure because that doctor missed my vein when he inserted the needle in, twirled around for a few times but still unable to find so he took it out and tried again on another spot.
I felt very dizzy and my vision blurred after that. The kind nurse helped me to a room to rest and poured a glass of water for me. Luckily I didn't have to walk long back to my house.

2 quizzes coming up!

Attendance is very bad this semester. Just checked it online. Can't afford to miss any more lessons!
Would be welcoming the new addition into our family this Sunday if everything goes well but there goes my wonderful birthday gift from mum. It's alright! Shall think of another gift which I want but before that, I need to get mum a birthday gift as well. Have something on my mind but yet to go see. First priority for now is mum's birthday! Luckily didn't spend much last month so don't have to scrimp and save. Shall buy a even better gift for her this year.
3:19 PM

For the past few days, aunt had been cooking lunch and dinner for us. Had steamboat today. Went down to feed stray cats with cousin in the evening. Note, it's absolutely legal to feed them. I realised almost all the stray cats in the neighbourhood are sterilised. That's a good thing. Most of them were rather afraid of humans except for 2. The female tabby was very vocal and sweet but gets jealous very easily. Couldn't stop rubbing against my legs and it actually hissed at the female white cat when I went to pet her as well. Attention-demanding, hah. Poor girl, she vomitted. I don't know how to tell their age but they are definately adult cats.

Damn, should I go school tomorrow?
11:43 PM

Misinterapretation, and Frankiestein is a female. Nevertheless, I shall still call her Frankiestein. Cousin said she visited our house on Saturday and wanted to enter again. Frankiestein! Frankiestein! What a cutie!

Sunday 25/1:
Reunion dinner at restarurant. There were sharkfin and abalone etcs but I wasn't in the mood 'cos I losed my phone. I remembered bringing it out so it must have dropped somewhere. After dinner went to funfair. Unlikely to find this in Singapore nowadays. There was this station which could win handphones by tossing rings so mum decided to play it for me. All of us tried many times but of cause did not manage to win any. Back to my uncle's house and luckily I asked my dad to drive slowly 'cos my phone could drop somewhere on the ground and indeed it was there! But badly drenched due to the rain earlier on. It's still working, though.

Monday 26/1:
Decided to tag along with my brother back to Singapore last minute. Hurrily went to the train station to buy a ticket. Thankfully there was an available seat beside my brother. The total journey took 8 hours. 5 hours was for train. Had dinner at JB's Macdonald's before returning back to Singapore.

Those short few days were really boring to the max. Unable to study at all due to the folks' singings. Apart from sleeping, eating and TV, there was nothing else to do. Playing with BJ (my uncle's dog - Bobby John), perhaps? Chasing after mother hen and her chicks?
I realised Singapore's stray cats/dogs are really fortunate. That's right, they are fortunate as compared to the strays in Malaysia. We saw a white kitten which was really skinny to the bone. It would have been a very beautiful cat if it was well-fed.

BJ!

He's a scaredy dog and he smells like... a dog. Haha. Kind of stink but I would still pet him whenever I see him.

Uncle's rubber plantation.


Hopefully the dogs next year would be more active so I wouldn't feel so bored during my stay.
11:26 PM

It's already past 12am and I still have not packed my bag for tomorrow. Alright I better don't sleep tonight. Shall sleep during car journey.

A video of Frankiestein!


If you listen carefully, able to hear a meow and a pur from him. His meow is so man and deep, ha.

And this is seriously one of the cutest kittens I have ever seen. Watched this for countless times.



Got to pack my bag now!
12:23 AM

Aww I miss Frankiestein. He wasn't at the corridor when I came back. Probably somewhere playing or napping. Went down to have a look but only managed to find his girlfriend, Tracy. Ha, random name again but she seemed a little hostile according to her eyes even though she allowed petting. Better leave her alone incase she attacks me. Ha. Hurry come back, Frankiestein! :D

Was in a good mood today except for BMic quiz 2. It was screwed, okay? Did both of my e-tutorials too. After school had APEL by course manager regarding the subjects feedback. Of cause she won again by shooting back our opinions. Also asked her regarding further studies. I really need to consider carefully over that. Oh, and I officially dropped my French today. I know it's dumb, just another month to go but I already had 2 warning letters for that.

Will be leaving for Malaysia tomorrow morning and I have yet to pack my stuffs. I don't feel like going at all....... What a CNY, apart from studying, I still have to do blood test as requirement for the Global Citizenship. Fear of nothing except blood!!!
I'm wondering if doing blood test in Malaysia is safe.. No choice, everything has to be submitted by next Friday.
6:13 PM

Parents did not close the main door when they came home and the next moment, I found Frankiestein in my room. Haha! I'm so not used to seeing such a big cat in the house. He kept wanting to sneak in but I was afraid his master might return anytime and couldn't find him so I spent my time outside playing with him. Like Luvvie, he loves strings. But of cause, they are both cats just that Frankiestein is an old cat. His master has returned and he's back into his house retiring for the night. (:

I have not done my e-tutorials for both BNF and BMic. Both have actually ended. Mdm Ong was being very nice to open it again and again but I kept on missing it again and again.
And I totally don't feel like studying for BMic! Still stuck at 4.2. No, not because of Frankiestein. I just don't feel like.
4 paths.
- Fail!
- MC!
- Sneak in notes
- Sit behind someone who is smart

Better don't. Ha.
10:48 PM

Today was a rather short day. Maths lecture followed by Bmic lab which always end before time. Literally playing with bacteria, as in irritating one another with the stinky agar plates. And the eye wash thingy! Ha. Was conned by Shinyee to attend BNF lecture. Boring!!!
Stayed in school to study for tomorrow's Bmic quiz 2 but unfortunately, it wasn't fruitful.

Coming back home is always a surprise for me along the corridor because my neighbour's cats love slacking there. Usually I would just give them a little pat and go home but I decided to play with it today. There was only one boy today and I called him Frankiestein. Haha! Can't remember what his owner called him the other day. He was hungry so I fed it with some kibbles and water. His claws are long too but I thought I can't help him to cut without his master's permission.. groomed him a little too as he has alot of loose hairs. Just incase he choked on his own furballs. And, he followed me home after that, refusing to come out. Ha, how innocent he was to trust someone who is nice to him so easily. I could have been someone who is up to something bad. I had to carry him out several times, he weighs 6kg. 3 times the physical size of Luvvie. Yes, a very fat boy that I had to carry him using both arms. He is currently at our house door. Hehe, he loves me more than his master now.
Frankiestein is tail-less so I was unable to look out for his mood but I suppose he was contented with his purring. Apart from his missing tail, he is a very handsome boy with a neat coat of fur. Just that he sheds quite alot. He also has a very gentle temperament. So laid back that I could read a book on my own while he lies down willing to be petted. Doesn't climb and doesn't run. Able to tell that he wants to be indoor very much, kept loithering outside his door waiting for his master to be home and open the door for him. I wish he were mine! Such a darling boy.

Photos of Frankiestein!
I believe my camera has slimming effect. Haha!









Yay Frankiestein loves me! Cats rubbing against human legs mean he is marking that someone as his possession.
Yes cats are arrogant animals, he doesn't belong to you. You belong to him. But it's still a way of showing affection. (:
5:57 PM

I have so many regrets in my life

But there isn't a thing in this world called time machine

10:26 PM

Upon reaching home everyday, the first thing I do is to check my mail. And HDB finally gave me a reply.

Dear Quelle

Policy regarding the baning of cats in HDB flats

HDB is aware that there are cat lovers like you who feel strongly that cats should be allowed in HDB flats. While we recognize the efforts of responsible cat owners like yourself, we need to be mindful that there are many irresponsible cat owners who are unlikely to comply with the proposed conditions and legislation.

There are many HDB residents, who do not like cats and are strongly against allowing cats in HDB flats. Cat-related nuisance such as shedding of fur, defecation in public areas and noise disturbance can affect the estate’s living environment and disrupt good neighbourliness. As HDB's priority is to preserve a pleasant living environment and good neighbourly relations in our high-rise, high-density public housing estates, HDB has decided to maintain the current policy of not allowing cats to be kept in HDB flats.

We thank you for your comments and appreciate your interest in the subject.

Yours sincerely

Standard reply. I don't understand why must they insist that cats are such a nuisance to the public. Are they going to condemn all the cats in Singapore? Can't they allow them to have a loving home of their own.. Why can they only be dumped and not given a chance at all..
Or should I blame irresponsible owners? Actually no, my neighbour's cats are the friendliest cats I've ever known. Even though they are given the freedom to roam freely, they don't cause any troubles too. Neither have they done any of the behaviours that HDB uses as excuses to ban cats. All they want is to take a peaceful nap. Or maybe I should blame the cats-hater who love complaining to the authority so much, even if the cat was just walking past quietly, they find it an eye sore. Oh please, I find them more well-behaved than you bastards.
I've given them a reply, still proposing that they should review on this matter. I think each of us should bombard them an email everyday till this matter is brought up to the head. Ha. Hate seeing the 3 reasons of baning cat they always put in every replied mail. In terms of stubborness, I'm not the only one.

Would it help if that person him/herself is a cats lover?
2:54 PM

Ha. So true man. People who pamper cats really ask for nothing in return. Sometimes not even a cuddle. Wheras for dogs, they reciprocate your love and sometimes even more. I think I prefer cats now, especially mellow breeds like Persian, Ragdoll and Ragamuffin.
How about this? I like big fat cats.

Had CSAS test today which I thought there was nothing to study. Turned out to be so much stuffs to memorise. Only managed to study for 20 mins before the test. Thankfully the paper was easy. Went home for a short nap after lunch and back to school again for PT duty. Supposed to remind myself to bring my matric card so I could borrrow books from the library but kept forgeting! CNY is coming and I got to borrow lotsa books to read on the journey. Will make a trip down to the public library as well. Looks like it's unlikely for us to enjoy CNY this year due to the pile of assignment plus studying of upcoming quizzes and preparation for main exams. Yeah right, I won't be bored for this year CNY definately.

Curious to know what kind of books I've been reading?
Nothing but felines! Heh.
7:02 PM

Wanted to open a party for my 18th birthday but I'll be in week 0 camp then. Yes it's the 2nd time I'll spending my birthday in week 0 camp. Mum suggested either few days earlier or celebrate it on my lunar birth date which is somewhere in March. I thought it's not meaningful anymore. So decided to forget about the party. :(
I've always wanted to open a party on my 10th, 18th and 21st birthday. Did it for 10th 'cos our age turned 2 digits and it's worth remembering. It's okay, I will wait for my 21st birthday then. I just have to tell myself that 18 is just a legal age for clubbing and smoking, not a big deal. Self-comfort. Ha.

Good news is I'm gonna receive the most wonderful birthday present ever in my life from mum! (:
12:49 PM

Okay, I mean if there is a good reason to ban cats, I would accept the fact but apparently what were mentioned are not justified. Seriously, if they are confined indoor and sterilised, they would absolutely pose no trouble at all. I really don't understand what's with the unfair society. Dogs can enjoy a life of luxuries at home while cats can only live in drain and rubbish dump. I really feel very sorry for them.
-
Oh the bean in my previous post was refering to Van. Ha.
12:02 AM

I was called an auntie for the first time ever in my life and worse was I was called an auntie by an auntie!!!

A bean is in my house now. Cook her please!

I've written in an email to HDB that they should not ban cats. It is really unfair to both the Feline lovers who live in HDB as well as the cats who deserved to be loved. What nomadic by nature, noise disturbance and defecating/urinating in public areas. Please. Cats can be trained to be domestic and are they even noisy in the first place? Which animals were not nomadic when the earth began? They are still nomadic today due to the increment of stray cats and this problem will never end if they continue to ban cats. Only humans can turn them into domestic pet. SPCA and Cat Welfare Society are there trying to help rehoming the poor cats but HDB just has to ban the keeping of cats in HDB flats where most of the Singaporeans live in. The number of stray cats would never reduce but the number of cats in shelters being put to sleep would gradually increase. And do they even know that cats are one of the cleanest animals? You should have seen how they clean their paws using the newspaper after eliminating. I know it sounds gross, some humans don't even bother to wash their hands after a toilet trip. Luvvie never had a single accident in my house before, she would rather control and search for her litter tray desperately than eliminating just anyhow. In my opinion, cats who live in private apartments are more likely to stray away due to ungrilled fences. I just can't help but feel very angry whenever I see this rule. All Feline lovers should sign a petition!

I'm burning hot like fire now!
Although I think most likely I would receive a standard reply from HDB.., I will never give up fighting the rights for cats!
3:42 PM

Mum says she would buy me a persian cat if she strikes lottery. I can wait long long for that. -.-
11:53 PM

I ended up on msn last night. Wasn't talking crap but giving suggestions and opinions to my cousin. Hey I will be waiting for you at TP yeah? (:
Only started studying this morning. Worse was I didn't know there were so many handouts for vitamins so I only studied the first handout which is only vitamins A, D, E and K. The quiz came out so many vitamin B.
Apparently it was screwed lah.
Failing any BNF is a nightmare. Let's see what Mdm Ong's gonna do with us.
10:03 PM

Bravo! It's about less than 12 hours to BNF quiz 2 and I just started studying.
12:25 AM

Have not been sleeping well and enough for the past few days. This morning was really sleepy. Dozed off during Jap tutorial and was called. Went for an hour of BNF lecture then went home. Took a nap and went back to school at 5pm for Sports Fest duty - Soccer.
Quite exciting. Everyone's eyes were on the ball. There were 2 ongoing matches. One is the so called "peace" and another is the fierce. I was the score keeper on the "fierce" side but it was the "peace" side that almost fought. Aiya I missed the good show! Went to transfer money and everything was back to normal when I came back.
Lights out at 10pm and the matches were unable to continue due to the darkness so it has to be continued some other day. I think the champion is quite obvious though.

Only managed to leave school at 10.40pm after searching for missing ball. If I hadn't took a power nap, I'd have died of fatigue.
11:57 PM

It's gonna be Tuesday again but I'll go school tomorrow. Except I won't go French tutorial. Really man, just let it fail and take Freehand Drawing next year. No project, no lectures and no memorising.
Japanese role play is bad enough, I don't want to do French role play as well.

Goodbye French!
9:01 PM

China Town was sooo squeezy today. Mum was great as usual during shopping to buy me whatever I want but I did not splurge. Only bought some nuts and candies.

Can you believe these nuts and candies are worth $60?

That's right. But it's very nice I tell you.

I was so disappointed as I set my eyes on a white colour Guess wallet but it was out of stock with the only one on the display left. I hate to get display stuffs, moreover it had some scratches. However mum says she will help me check the OG outlet at Bugis tomorrow. :D
And I really need to consider about getting white stuffs. :/
Today is just not a shopping day for me. Wanted to buy new bedsheet and shoes but couldn't find any design I like..

We will have an addition into our family in 20 days time. I'm so excited about it. Mum wants a boy but I want a girl! So in the end, we decided to leave it to fate. See which gender has a greater affinity for me. Naming is another headache. You must be wondering who's giving birth, heh? Fill you guys in 3 weeks later.
9:43 PM

It's still a very boring day.

Will be going out with parents to Chinatown tomorrow. It's been a really long time since I last went shopping with them.
10:54 PM

I wish time would fly faster..
I wish CNY would be over asap!

You know what? I just found out today that cats are not allowed to be kept in HDB flats. Why is there such an unfair rule?
http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10209p.nsf/WPDis/Keeping%20of%20PetsOverview?OpenDocument
I strongly disagree to what that are mentioned there. Cats are clean animals. Some even joke that they are more clean than humans. Ha.

Okay I seriously need to cut my nails. It hurts when I type.
10:35 PM

Damn. I overslept today and was like woahhh when I saw the time. So in short, I didn't turn up for school again. Better get my alarm clock's battery changed 'cos phone's alarm is SO lousy.
Still went school in the afternoon for project meeting. Officially done with it!
Not going to school tomorrow either as all lessons are cancelled except for an hour of FC lecture. 3 days of not schooling in a week. I better start revising tomorrow. It's only one more month plus to main exams. How time flies?
6:41 PM

Parted with Luvvie this morning. Although I was smiling goodbye to her, I really couldn't bear to let her go. Returning home is so boring now. Can't help but feeling very lonely whenever I see her empty bed.
I miss hearing the bell sound on Luvvie whenever she's running.
I miss her head rubbing onto my feet whenever I feed her.
I miss having surprise swipes behind me whenever I open the door.
I miss her snatching my food whenever I'm eating.
I miss her lying on her back when she's beside me because that means she trusts me.
I miss disturbing her whenever she's sleeping.
I miss stealing chances to blow her a kiss but she doesn't like it.
I miss her pouncing on me whenever I'm watching TV.
I miss her crawling up on my body whenever I'm using the laptop.
I miss tag-playing with her.
I miss her sleeping on my lap.
I miss her pair of innocent eyes and meow.
I miss Luvvie very much.. I wonder if she misses me now? I'm so sorry for unable to fulfill my lifetime promise to her. Ought to feel happy for her that she's in good hands now.. but how I wish she were here with me now.
7:00 PM

Didn't go school today. Yet another Tuesday of not attending school. 3 reasons.
I was really tired and unable to open my eyes.
I wanted to spend more time with Luvvie today.
I hate Tuesday because of CDS.
Right, shouldn't have chosen these type of CDS to torture myself.

FC lab tomorrow. :(
Bidding goodbye to Luvvie on Wednesday. :( :( :(
She's so baby.

10:09 PM

Was tag-playing with Luvvie last night. Tag-playing is sort of like catching and many cats love playing that. And they really use their paw to tag you gently and run away. How cute. Made me run like a mad woman in my room during midnight when I was supposed to sleep. I cheated many times by running out of the room so she couldn't catch me since she didn't dare to step out of my room. It's easier for her to run but I kept bumping into stuffs. This evening when I came back from school, was tag-playing with her in the living room again. It was so fun running round and round the sofa. Hah.

Had an extra tutorial today just to get back BNF term test paper. Sad to say no pizza treat from Mdm Ong as there wasn't 100% passes but I got a chocolate for doing well. (Yayness!) This chocolate made up for my quiz 1 which I didn't get. Ha ha~

Tomorrow is a sickening day! I feel like skipping Jap tutorial..
7:57 PM

My little sweetie is going to turn 2 months soon. In a week or so.
Bathed her today. She hates water like any other cats but she wasn't aggressive.

Photos I took with her last midnight. I want to capture all the beautiful moments.
Don't bother about the dates. My camera's setting is wrong.








She sure isn't camera-shy.


Sometimes I find her too skinny. Look at her apple head!


It would be cuter if it's round like this. Ha.




Everything also want to touch.......


and put into mouth.


This silly nut, if you don't support her head, it would really fall backwards.


My room is like her territory now and she's a pretty good runner. Whenever I put her in the living room and ran back to my room wanting to close the door, she would chase after and reach the room before me. And I realise whenever I carry her on the way out of my room, she would meow upon reaching the door as though trying to say "Noooooo". Haha. Interesting.
Parents are now playing with her in the living room while watching TV. Because she's so lovable and my parents love her like I do. However Luvvie is pretty scared of my dad and would run away at the sight of him 'cos he's too rough. Haha.

And now I got to rush my remaining school work which is due tomorrow morning!
9:04 PM

I finally did something constructive today. Finished my FC lab report but there are still notebook and CSAS reflection. All overdue! Of cos I did it while Luvvie was asleep otherwise she would bite off my papers. Hah. She's a very good girl today. Slept for 3 hours so I could concentrate on doing my school work without her disturbing me even though she was sleeping on my lap. Right, that 3 hours made my whole body so numb. Shall bath her tomorrow. Stink stink!

I mustn't lose interest in school!
9:18 PM

A series of good news today. What a lovely day.

I passed all my term tests although we have not gotten back BNF but I'm pretty confident that I will be able to pass that. There's indeed a drastic improvement for me this sem.

Will be going to the airport to fetch my parents tonight. Can't wait to see what they've bought for me. (:

And., Luvvie finally slept with me on my bed! Although she's free to run anywhere in my room but she always sleep alone at night. I woke up in the middle of the night to find her sleeping next to me and the next moment, she snuggled under my blanket, tickling me all over and fell asleep on my leg. So sweet of her. I wish she could be more cuddly like male cats. Hah.
5:39 PM

Seriously and it smelled!
And she loves snatching my food. Ha.
Found a very good method to control her biting habit. Next is to train her how to respond to her name. Cats are generally more tough to train than dogs so I got to be patient!
I'm like her mum. Infact all owners are, especially when they are still a baby, we are doing every part of being a mother. Feeding, playing, loving and taking care of them. Luvvie never really had experienced her mother's love as they were abandoned when they were less than 3 weeks old. And really, curse that person who abandoned them in a sideway dumpster blocked with wood. If noone had removed the wood and found them, they would have been dead now. Thank God Luvvie is alive and well.

My baby sure has the cutest sleeping style ever.


This entire week seems like holiday. Lessons start in the afternoon tomorrow. Hopefully would be able to get back the remaining term test papers. Please let me pass Bmic! Parents are coming back tomorrow night. Perhaps going to fetch them at the airport but I can't remember which terminal man. Ha.

It's playtime with Luvvie! She has just woke up and going to be active real soon. Bye!
11:04 PM

Woke up during the last minute of 2008 after my nap. New year eve was spent playing with Luvvie. I'm currently teaching her not to bite. Even though it doesn't hurt but it would be a bad habit once she grows up. She's doing it well but sometimes she tends to forget about it while playing rough. Oh well, it takes time.

Went Pets Safari in the evening. There certainly has more varieties. So in total for today, I got her Whiskas dry food, Friskies canned wet food, a red collar with bell, pine litter and nail clipper. What a great start of a new year ahead!

Her current favourite toy - banana!

Coming to new year issue. 2008 had been a great year for me. Too many interesting things that happened and important decisions that were made. I believe 2009 will be even better. However, I'm so not looking forward to CNY as usual. I never really like CNY. Once January has passed, it's gonna be a smooth year ahead!

Few days ago I read an interesting article about the differences in characters between a dog and a cat. Someone relates it as, when you feed a dog, it thinks, "He's feeding me! He must be God!" But when you feed a cat, it thinks, "He's feeding me! I must be God!" That's really funny.

Try this survey!

You Are: 70% Dog, 30% Cat

You and dogs definitely have a lot in common. You're both goofy, happy, and content with the small things in life. However, you're definitely not as needy as the average dog. You need your down time occasionally.

12:51 AM
