Ok. I suppose I am not such a good writer, and you all are clever people.
This is my baby...
Cute?
I've always wanted to get a dog when I had my own place and all. But somehow, the idea of getting it sooner just popped into my mind recently. So I decided to go to the pet farm to check out the puppies. Little did I expect to see the cutest things in the world. So cute that it just made me want them even more. I always wanted either a Golden Retrieve or a Collie. Ideal situation, I have both. And the Golden pups I saw were just soooo cute. Irresistable. Seeing the real thing certainly swayed my decision to get it now. But, I decided to wait and thinking it over carefully.
I went home, surfed the net for pictures, looked around for people who might be giving away Golden pups, sounded out my parents about the idea of getting a dog though they didn't want one.
Then 3 days later, I happened to have lunch with Xinyi in Pasir Ris, and I suddenly thought about going back to the pet farm to check out the puppies again. This time, I felt even more certain I wanted a dog with the 2nd look at the pups. After going around the Pasir Ris Farmway 2 area and checking out the farms there, I still decided to go home and think about it. But, as we left, I suddenly thought about just getting it then since I was already there. Somehow, I convinced myself that now was the best time to get a pup since I still have abt 1 1/2 weeks before I work, so I have time to help it adapt to its new home.
So, I went back to the shop, the guy took the pups out for me to choose, it was so cute, I got it.
Cost me a bomb.
But I was very pleased with my acquisition.
I knew my parents would flip when they saw it. Indeed they did. Didn't really take to the dog.
Then came the cleaning up. Never expected that taking care of a puppy is so tedious. Wakes me up at night when it pees/shits cos I am a light sleeper. After meals, it has a peeing spree. It can pee up to 8-10 times in 2 hours. I can just clean up one spot, then I find it peeing again.
The only time I am free is when it sleeps.
Yes, it is super cute, but its also capable of driving me up the wall sometimes.
Another funny thing abt Tiny is that I got him on Friday. I didn't realise the significance of that day until I was told Friday was the first day of the 7th month. Ha. Fancy buying a dog on such a day. You know how people say that dogs can see things. Maybe I should have called him The Eye or something. Or Sixth Sense. Or Zhong Kui. Ha.
Anyway, on a lighter note, this is quite amusing...

Some TK was looking for "Singapore girl photo bikini ntu nus jc". Nothing too amusing anymore now that I constantly see such searches on my statcounter. But then, I noticed something familiar on this search. I saw the phrase "My paper heart". I thought it sounded really familiar. Then I looked at the URL, and OMG! Its Pingpong's blog! hahahahaha. Pingpong, I guess you're also listed as a porn site by yahoo. Ha.
Tiny is sick with diarrhoea. Jialat. Been cleaning tons of shit for the past 2 days. Gonna bring it to the vet later. I think this is karma. I made fun of shit last week, this week I am actually coming up close and personal with shit itself. And now with Tiny's dirrhoea, I see it, smell it, feel it countless times a day. Fortunately, I don't taste it.
I was cleaning up after Tiny a couple of days ago after it had its dinner. I still hadn't had mine. So I walked past the dining table where my parents and bro were eating happily, while I was sweaty and dirty. So when I walked by, I saw what they were eating.....
Great. Beef stew. My mom has been in the mood for beef stew the past few weeks. So there I was cleaning up Tiny's stew, then later I had to eat my beef stew.
So I saw them eating heartily as I walked by to the back to throw Tiny's shit away. I looked at the food and said, "Hmmm, that looks like what I have in the newspaper."
Muahahaha.
Of course I still ate it later on.
Yesterday, my mom said she will stop cooking beef stew for cos she doesn't think I will be that interested in having it for now. I think she is right.
Now I know why people think shit is gross. Looking at your own shit is ok. But looking, smelling, picking up someone else's shit is just gross. Esp, if its in semi-solid/liquid form.
Oh yes, a new description for the semi-solid/liquid form is "Pudding". So when you see chocolate pudding...you will remember this very entry. Ha.
Ok, off to the vet. Just hope he doesn't do it in the car. Sian.
