I need my sleep, playing time with my April, my nephew, my niece.
I need time to call and sms my parents and my brother.
I need time to talk rubbish with my sister.
I need time to catch up with my girls.
I need time to clean the house.
I need time to learn guitar.
I need time to learn photography.
I need time for my Mass Comm class.
Awww.... So much things to do, so little time. I will lie dead within a year if I squeeze them all into all the time I have now.
Since I have been stubbornly trying to save my own hard cash to get my own Nikon D90, I haven't been able to get one. Ha! Now, it becoming more challenging since I have gone shopping and bleed my pocket dry before the next paycheck even come.
God bless me with more $$ and more time, please..

Sorry Mom, Dad...
For all this time I have tried to behave maturely, to let you know that I am now a big girl. I am able to spend years overseas and come back in one healthy complete piece. It has now gone to the drain. With this kitchen burning accident, I am back to zero. Sis now calls when I am home alone which ends with, "be careful at home", which could easily be translated into, "please don't burn anything else". The truth is now I don't even have a stove to start burning. LOL!
It has been a traumatizing time these past few days, when I mean burn, it isn't a slight light up fire. Looking at the pictures still brings chills down my spine. The house still smelt burnt and passing the burnt kitchen is like being shadowed by a ghost, burnt ghost!
Mom and Dad worried for me, for my injuries, which is considered lucky judging by the aftermath of my kitchen. Mom said she couldn't sleep, thinking how terrified I must be when I tried to put out the fire, all on my own. It saddened me that at this age, I have to make my parents worried all over again.
The greatest thing of all is that not a single time they blamed me, not a harsh word being thrown at me, not even from BIL. Now I see how great a man he is. He religiously cleaned up the mess, MY mess, worked out the renovations and yet not a single time he scolded me. The renovation for the whole kitchen will cost at least a 4K, and insurance covered only 1/3, I don't even know how it worked out that way. Can you imagine? Out of nowhere, he forked out 4K and he didn't even bloody complain.

In a state of shock
Thank You God, for giving me my life back. I know you could take it that moment, I could have slipped and fall and faint and burnt to death. I am not exaggerating, this evening was the scariest moment of my life, even scarier than when I was in SQ plane shaking in a turbulence.
I stayed home alone this afternoon, as I was tired and I felt it was time to clean up the house and do some laundry. As I felt hungry, I thought I wanted to deep fry some nuggets, so I heat up the oil. I close the kitchen door as well as it was too windy.
The next thing I knew, there were noises outside my house, I thought Sis came back, so I went to check. When I passed by the kitchen, it was on FIRE! Seriously, it wasn't a candlelight flicker, it was blazing! I went in and tried to put out the fire. I remembered to turn off the gas, yet in panic state, couldn't remember where is the main switch. I took the still burning pan and toss it onto the washing basin, turned on the tap. My brain couldn't remember clearly if I could use water to put out the flame, so I risked it anyway. Though before that I was beating away the fire with clothes. It was the scariest moment when the fire burned fiercely, in red orange and blue. I was afraid to get electrocuted to death if the wires got burned somewhere. Then, I remembered to wet some clothes and cover the fire with it. The neighbour and the security guard knocked on my door, probably alerted by the smoke. They came in and extinguish the fire using its appropriate tool - fire extinguisher.
I couldn't remember how the rest went on, I wished silently that I could wake up and realise that this is just one helluva bad dream. Apparently, it isn't a dream. That fear as I was fighting that fire was definitely something I wouldn't be able to forget. Since I was a child, I have always played with fire, i loved to. Now I know, it's not that friendly after all. I had light burns on my right hand mostly and one deeper burn on my left eye. Ouchie, but that's ok, I am still alive...

What was supposed to be the smoke extractor, it is now just an empty shell.

First batch of bags arrived
Well, sort of... Elle's one is still not done due to late arrival.
Anyway, since nobody seems to be coming to Singapore just when we needed them to, my cousin has decided to air courier the bags down. He absorbed the postage fee for the first batch of international order that he ever had (all my hardwork). LOL!
Nevertheless, a few hiccups did come along. DoMo's bag came out with Momo's eyes (both) poked to make way for the ribbons. Thank God, my Mom checked through it and they had it redone.
Mom's conversation as reported: "Ey,did you see the eyes got poked or not? If your wife eyes got poked, you will like it or not? These people make the pictures of their dogs into the bag because they especially love their dogs right... You poke their eyes, they will sure cryyy....!!!". LOL!! Which I find extremely funny, muahahahahahah...
Sneak Peek!!!
Can't show you guys whole bag as it will spoil the fun for the owners. LOL! Spot yours, peeps!

My crazy girl........
Sis called me at work this morning and she was screaming for me to get home ASAP. Apparently, she came back from the market to find that April has poop-ed behind the door and stepped on it. Her mess was all over the house and worse still when they open the door, the poop was squashed under the door gap. My girl had poo on her 4 paws, so instead of cleaning her, Sis locked her inside the cage until I get home to bath her. This means that she urgently need to release her excess energy, LOL!
Also, Willy just bought a new DSLR and asked if he can 'borrow' April tomorrow for an outdoor shooting at Botanic garden. I thought to let him bring April out, but I took back my words, seriously shouldn't take the risk at all. Willy was mumbling that April is just a 2.5 kg 'object', how difficult is it to handle her. He just never know, he only met April when she is with me. This little angelic 2.5 kg baby has a gut that even German Shepherd can't beat. She listens to me and only me, her badly bullied MOMMY! Willy is also the typical take-it-easy guy, God knows if he got the nerve to unleash April in the park. She WILL run away if she isn't with me and I will cry blood if it happens. As a conclusion, April will only go out with Mommy only.
P.S. Thought to put some pics in, but Blogger still sucky in Firefox. Haiz..
The culprit~ in jail, nonetheless.

Pondering still...
Have been wanting to get a degree in Mass Comm years ago, but in the end I got into Bachelor of Science anyway. I got it for my parents, when I wanted to give up halfway because it was getting too tough, they didn't disagree. That is too the reason I persevered till the end. Thank God I didn't give up, thank God for the nicest lecturers who stood by me.
I believe a dream will forever be a dream, whether I am 30, 40, 50 or even 90, it is never too old to learn. I could pursue Mass Comm back then, but I chose not to, because I know something I get out of selfishness will never get me far. Especially if it forsakes the happiness of my loved ones.
Now that I am working, I want to be saving my own hard cash and get into night classes. Probably 2 subjects per semester. One thing though, I have no idea which Uni should I get into?

Life changes
Will these memories that I now cherished and reminisce fondly about become obsolete? There were years ago that I love going back to Chai Chee, my secondary school and think back of all those good old times. Its value is beginning to fade, though and I don't really miss it anymore.
Is it because I have moved on to better things, meet better friends, fall in and out of love with better guys?
Will the same thing happen to my memories from the land of down under? God knows how much I missed my life there. Now, all I want to do is going back to the memory lane, our little Marsfield suburb, the Darlingest Harbour, probably the only reason why I want to get a DSLR is to take the nicest pictures there and keep it till I am old.
In a few years time, when I read back on this post, will this memories I missed now become redundant? We'll see..

Recovering
Not sickness, but from tiredness. I went to a dinner in Malaysia last night with the bosses and the rest of the colleagues. My... aren't I in the wrong place to work, in a good way. LOL! After the hard work of getting to the place itself, we had a satisfying seafood dinner. We were the noisiest guests, probably ever.
We played stupid exciting games and it was sooooo fun. I laughed till my jaw hurts. I ate freaking raw prawn and oysters, to think that I hate seafood and I have not even eaten the cooked ones. Damn it! It tastes like helllllllllll...
It was one satisfying night, really. Glad I wasn't in the shut off mode and made up one reason not to go.
No pics... as they are all probably too scandalous to expose...! =P
