General is 7 months old!

On 2 September, General turned 7 months' old! To commemorate such a special occasion, we gave him jelly meant for dogs (which I'm quite sure humans can eat too). To General, he didn't think anything of it and just ate it all up. Because he will eat anything you give him.
I took this shot on Sunday (4 Sept). The toy you see below is something my helper, Miming, 'invented'. She used a big plastic bag to connect 4 of his toys to form 1 'new' toy. General gets bored so quickly with his toys, Miming is always trying to think up new "formations" so that he will become preoccupied with these "new" toys!
General has been a wonderful companion to me. He's still teething, so he still bites. And in his excitement and hyperactiveness, he still jumps and can scratch with his nails. BUT, he loves companionship. With a bone in his mouth, he would come and lie down next to me, with his body leaning against my legs, so that I can pet him and feel his warmth and appreciate his company. He may not really be caring too much about me because he's just going at his bone, but the very fact that he will come and sit by me without moving around, makes me love him so much more. I now believe with all my heart that dogs really can feel you when you are 'down'.

I'm so thankful to my parents for letting me have this dog for my birthday this year. I really wouldn't know what to do or how I would cope without him around.

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
