Pseudo post-exam day ♥ 12/07/2009 09:46:00 PM
Yeah I went for a pampering session for my nails and hair on the 5th, when my last paper was on the 7th.
I hope I haven't lost all interest in academia, because it would be quite saddening if I were to struggle like that for 2 more semesters.
I am so looking forward to the internship; it is honestly a timely break from all these mugging.
Hopefully, I would return to school feeling recharged.
ANYWAY.
I got invited down to Creative Beauty @ Clementi Central for a nail appointment with no obligation or whatsoever, and gladly accepted it since I am distracted from notes anyway.
And tah dah, this is my first experience with acrylic nail art (yes I heard your exclamation)!
I met up with Esther at the cosy styling house tucked at the outskirts of Clementi Central.
Without further ado, Esther began the designs she had in mind for me right away.

Yeah, everything O.P.I.! Nice.
I also did cut+dyed+treated my hair at a hair salon in HV that day. Most people cannot tell the difference though. LOL, it's okay- I can, and that is all that matters.
Now that I feel the hole in my pocket, I shall eat bread and porridge for the next few days! HA.
The experience was 4/5- quite value for money IMO, though I didn't have to pay for my $60+ manicure and $20+ pedicure. And no, I did not recycle the swarovski crystals. Siao ah. (Eh yeah, I had them removed already because I need to carry Chloe, apply antiseptic cream on her tummy, clean her pee pan etc. and she seemed like she wanna eat my fingers anytime.)
Cammie, the person who granted me this maiden experience, said that there is an ongoing promotion: $45 for a set of classic full set mani and pedi (w free nail art).
Interested? :)
Creative Beauty is located at BLK 445 Clementi Avenue 3 @01-147A
Call Esther @ 67760608 to make your appointment.
And yes, maybe you would like to buy 4D after walking out of the salon- all happy and satisfied!
Afterall, Singapore Pools is just a stone's throw away. No harm right? Buy yourself some luck!

Breathe. ♥ 11/26/2009 08:22:00 PM
Now, I totally did not expect this to be that hard.
And yes, I think it is reflective of who I am.
It's time to empower myself and not bow down to emotional blackmail.
Feeling bad for this; feeling guilty for that.
I shall let Chloe whine in her enclosure.
Dear neighbours, please be forgiving towards the temporary disruption of peace.
And Ashton, oh my gawd.
I really feel like making dog meat out of him.
He seriously needs obedience classes.

WOOF WOOF ♥ 11/21/2009 09:08:00 PM
Yes, Chloe is still alive and kicking!
She is jumping her way here and there, going from person to person to accumulate enough sayangs to make her peace worthwhile.

Fast asleep when I'm doing work

Chloe, on the night after the surgery
I was worried over the red patches along her wound.
Online info IS FAIL.
Made me conclude that it was skin infection or something.
She was so upset wearing the E-cone, I didn't make her wear it unless I don't have her in sight (bathing, sleeping).
And she licked the wound a couple of times, so yeah I thought it was really skin infection!

She will stone there like that during the whole period of donning the collar
Brought her to the vet, with the help of my sis, and she said that it was considered normal.
Since the stitches were of 3 layers- the muscle, fat and skin tissues. And that the fat tissue may have been overstretched such that there was some blood clot but it will heal in a couple of days.
PHEW. Make that phew double because the vet didn't charge us for consultation.
And because of the dog-made tsunami mess created by Ashton over at my sis', the contemplation of castrating him is getting stronger. HAHAHA. Ok lah, I told my sis that it is not absolutely true that sterilization of male dogs would make them tamer. Debbie gave some WOM advice over the choice of vets, and added that Ashton is still young- there's still room for improvement/change. So, Ashton, watch your balls behavior.
Shredded paper- check
Tunnel behind cage- check
tunnel behind washing machine (?!)- check
change of orientation of washing machine (!!!)- check
bitten plastic water hose - check
I did tell my sis that he has potential, and should be trained for competitions.
I don't know what kind though.
Ashton Hercules Chen.
Remember his name.
(P/S: If I were the one who's owning Ashton, Mom would have prepared me Hotdog bun for breakfast the next day. Confirm Guarantee Chop. Chop. Chop.)

Get well soon ♥ 11/17/2009 11:47:00 PM
Poor Chloé.
Because of her sterilization surgery, she wasn't supposed to eat since 10pm last night.
i heaved sighs of relief upon fetching her in the evening- I read cases online where some pups died due to complications. Luckily, she was not allergic to the GA.
So, still feeling lethargic, I brought her back to my sis' place.
After accompanying her for a few hours, I decided to bring her back- hopefully for good.
I was thinking, since she's floating in and out of consciousness, she would be less aware of the change in environment.
Besides, I don't wish for Ashton to be locked up for fear of him licking Chloé's wound.
She's so needy of someone beside her, she refused to rest in her cage if no one's around her.
My sis was all teary and upset to see her in such a sad state.
So here she is, on my lap as I do my revision and work.
Be good okay. You can mam mam in a few hours' time! :)

Ok, back to 433 report.

Think of them when you start feasting on your unusually large piece of Foie Gras.

sighhh ♥ 11/09/2009 10:24:00 PM
I have no appropriate word to describe my day today.
I wanted to raise my concerns to a close friend but I did it with such a bad start, I really didn't mean it. I don't know what to say, except that I must have lost my sanity.
Then I patted someone's back enthusiastically (probably with my wet and cold palm) thinking that it was a friend. Yes, I realised that particular she wasn't the friend I thought her to be (literally, not figuratively). I hope I did cover my utter disbelief/shock/trauma enough when she turned back to say hi. I know I appeared normal having to sit at the same bench and doing work, when the usual me would have just banged my head against the thick pillar behind me in embarrassment. I'd to convince myself it was merely being sociable- in such an extreme way.
Gawd.
But I got confirmation from the employer I want to intern with today.
Do you understand what I mean by my life constantly being a roller-coaster ride?
I really can feel the nauseous feeling, with my heart, lungs, intestines all wanting to burst out from my throat.
Gawd.
AID THIS SITUATION, NAO.
AHHHHH!!!
