clean linen

Yesterday, my brother tweeted this video, and I think it's quite interesting if you want to compare the newest iPhone 4S Siri craze with an Android app! Please do watch the video by clicking here :)

YAY! Yesterday I managed to catch another shot of him sleeping in the box. This time, he was aaaalll the way inside, all curled up and fast asleep! But, of course, he heard our quiet shuffling about and he woke up. We let him walk around the kitchen and being the ever kaypoh (i.e. busybody) greedy dog that he is, he had to get Miming's attention while she was cutting a carrot. Disturbing General for a short while in the afternoon makes a nice break for me as I actually buckle down to study for the upcoming exams.

On Tuesday (25/10), I went down to the kitchen and saw General looking in as Miming was busying herself in the kitchen. As I approached the kitchen, he proceeded to act cute (see left photo). Then as I walked even closer, he sat up expectantly, probably hoping to be let into the house to play or hoping for some snacks from me or Miming. When we still didn't do either of what he was expecting, he started to fuss about by jumping and whining a little. I love how his ears flap alot when he jumps and as he lands back down on to the ground:) Yesterday, it was a rainy day. General likes dry surfaces, not wet ones, but his usual napping areas were all wet. So, he went into his box to sleep. And I FINALLY managed to get photos of him lying in the box (he uses the edge of the box as his head rest)! I love my dog-dog! Especially how he always has this worried look on his face because that's just how his face is "designed" - I find it most amusing!

Last Thursday, I was going through all the old stuff that was stored away in my cupboard, and I found this bag: It contained alot of party decor and toys, such as sparklers like this: This bag was actually used to store all the little things Jolene and a few others in my batch used to surprise me on my 20th birthday - that would be in 2008. I also found Jolene's birthday message to me - She even drew a dog and all on the other side of the message! There were a few more pieces of drawing block. She had written a poem by William Wordsworth that acted as a clue for me to go to the park near my house, where they would surprise me. I remember Kah Wan volunteering to walk me to the small gate of my house, where I found the message. Then we walked over to the park, and I screamed really loudly when they jumped out at me wearing those party masks. I really screamed very very loudly, if I remember correctly. It was quite embarrassing:) Wow, that was 3 years ago. Sometimes I still fee...

Last Friday (14 Oct), Miming was chopping up chicken. Before I came down and discovered her chopping chicken, General was asleep in the toilet and he left Miming alone to do her chicken-chopping. Then I came down, discovered her, and was amazed by the fact that General was not being a busybody and hanging around Miming while she was doing her chopping. However, I was wrong. It was too good to be true. The moment General heard my voice, talking to Miming, he woke up, exited the toilet, and started to bother Miming. Feeling most apologetic towards Miming because I'd just made life more difficult for her, I suggested we use the fence and put them around her, so it turned out like this - look at General eyeing the chicken, even if the chicken wasn't cooked (what a greedy dog): I'm really glad that, in general, Miming has a companion while she does her work. Granted, General's presence has given her even MORE work to do, tiring her out even more, BUT it seems like her wo...

My mum got Miming to empty the shoe cabinet today so that the shoes and the cupboard could be cleaned. Then my mum would rearrange the shoes so that we can have better access to the shoes we regularly wear, and it would be easier to find the shoes that we were looking for. Right now, they're just all over the place. So. The cupboard has been emptied: And where are all the shoes? Here - welcome to the 149 Aroozoo Shoe Boutique (Just because "boutique" sounds more classy, hurhur): (Note: shoes taken from 2 different angles)

Yesterday, it all started with James leaving a message for Eliz on her Facebook wall. And then, suddenly, it became a conversation and other people joined in. We were really spamming her wall with many many messages in rapid succession. Luckily for Eliz, it eventually came to an end, and the final count lies at 137 comments on the thread:)

Unfortunately, I had class from 9am in the morning, and only got home at 2pm. By then, the wedding ceremony had already begun. So I decided to miss the whole wedding and just stay at home to nap. At the dinner that night, it was held at Peach Garden Restaurant at Hotel Miramar. Here's a photo of the bride and her maid of honour (who was tired from "chasing the gown"): Left photo: With my GREAT friends, the wedding coordinators:) Right photo: With Alekx!:) I was amused by the toga-designed top/dress Sharon and Lydia wore to the dinner. So I got them to take a photo together just to show (and remember) the similarity:D With the very pretty maid of honour! With Jolene and Samuel, both my childhood friends! Left photo: Self-shot taken by me, a person who really cannot take self-shots! Right photo: Much more decent self-shot taken by Samuel! It looks a bit weird because I cropped and re-sized it a little so the dimensions are a bit 'off' now. THE FOOD WAS SO...

Yesterday, packing of my cupboard began. My mum asked Miming to bring all the stuff stashed away at the top shelves of my cupboard. On my own time, from now onwards, I'm supposed to slowly work through the stuff, especially those that are mine, and see whether I still want them or not. One of the bags contains about 10 photo albums. In them, I found old photos that go back to the years of 2002 and 2003! Look at my brother in 2003! And photos of us! These were taken in 2003: Besides photos, I also found many badges, the best one of them all so far are these two! Just some proof that I'm a major "guai kia" (literal translation: good kid). I was actually a prefect in every year possible for a student to be a prefect - Primary 4, 5, 6, Secondary 2, 3, and 4. Then in JC, I was the class representative for BOTH years that I was in JC. A good (not boring) achievement, yes? haha

Call me a noob but I only just discovered how fantastic a pianist, singer and performer Sara Bareilles is. I hear her play the piano and I wish with all my heart that I could play the piano like her! Just listen to the quality and fullness of her piano as she sings this song: One of my favourite Sara Bareilles songs is this one - "Many the Miles" (on the more emo side, I used to think that I identified very much with the lyrics of this song:D): Another of my favourite Sara Bareilles songs is this one - "King of Anything" - I think this music video is nicely done too: Lastly, I think she's not only a great singer and pianist, she does great at putting a new spin on song arrangements too! Just look at how she arranged the well-known song "Single Ladies", originally sung by Beyonce: I love her! I want all her albums please! I think she has released 2 albums so far:)

I just watched the last episode (episode 18) of a Korean drama serial "Protect the Boss". It was a really nice ending! And the last episode had many funny parts too! Also, I like the 2 lead characters, they seem to have good chemistry. AND the lead actor is SO HANDSOME. I'd definitely consider watching this show right from the beginning because of such a promising ending. BUT I'm trying to stay away from sappy/emo love/romantic stories. Watching this last episode was generally enjoyable, but it has really confirmed that I really need to stay as far away as possible from these kind of shows... So. You watch this show then let me know whether the ENTIRE show is as good as its last episode?:D And I will continue to stay away from as many love/romantic comedy drama serials. Oh and this also means that you really shouldn't ask me about Korean and all other kinds of drama serials anymore, especially if you want the love/romantic kind. I'm staying away from th...
