let sleeping dogs lie

yesterday was one of those gloomy days. went for braces checkup. they tightened it. but i changed the colour to purple.

went home to take toby to spca for checkup. the neighbour punya dog bit him hard on the head about one week ago. thought it would heal fast at that time.

the spca ppl, i think it was Reve told us to go to the hospital. so we set of for the hospital at jln tar with toby in his cage. his wound was deep. my bro said he could see a small part of the brain. we told toby to sit still but he kept on changing positions. i think the cage was too small for him already.

we weighed him at the hospital, then the vet took a good look at him. he said toby's wound got infected dy. with maggots and stuff. the treatment would be very painful for him and could cost few thousands to remove and heal everything.

poor toby. he kept moving, trying to jump down from the table. poor fella. we tried to hold him still then the vet finally dropped the bomb: i think its better to put him to sleep coz hes in pain and hes very old.

we took him out to get medicine, not to put him to sleep.

but we decided it would be best for toby. half the scalp and skin gone. sigh. poor guy.

so i touched his nose for the last time and walked out with my family. didnt want to watch them do it. just saw his limp body on the table later.

u used to be very naughty when u were young. disobedient too. u had this nice fur that made u look like a lion.
i used to hate you when u were young coz u always managed to squeeze thru the gate and run out, just when we bathed u. and then u come back all muddy and dirty in the evening. i disliked u too coz u werent as pretty as other dogs, just a mutt. u didnt have proper dog behavior too. when we played catch, u would take the ball away and hide it. u chewed on slippers, shoes and house mats. u jumped on people with ur muddy paws. chased postmen. u broke every dog rule and made ur own rules. u couldnt do a single trick and wouldnt "sit" when told to.

but i guess all of that made u our toby, also known as bee boy. one of a kind, irreplaceable. and deep down all of us loved u, even mom who doesnt like dogs.

to toby: u good dog! we will miss u alot.

toby. on happier days

ps: shoefen zhe arr.. shuwei thought we.. err.. put toby to sleep. the dream and snore kind of sleep. -.-"

back

im back. after a shopping trip to sunway pyramid and a karaoke night where i cheered my lungs out.

my room-> 314 got third place for the group competition. nyahaha! and we got a hamper too! one week's worth of junk food. haha if we can make it last.. maybe even two weeks?

my mom made signboards for them. and they were so happy!! recorded their dance tho but only for a few minutes. my room leader, ah boon sang off key la, off beat la off everything, during her solo. but we still cheered for her! and she got the second loudest cheer that night. hahaha good showmanship weh even tho she knew she sang out of tune but still asked us to clap for her. and finished the whole song. so sporting! during the show one guy ran up the stage and gave flowers to his girlfriend who was singing. so romantic! haha then another guy ran out and plucked grass and gave it to his friend, also a girl whon was singing on stage too. than when some really bad singer bleated out some tuneless song, ALL the guys nearly gave him their shoes! haha.. and they were supposed to be good.. the commitee had to invite them to sing for the night. sigh..

anyway. MY ROOM WON!!!!! nyahaha.
haha so proud of them now!

then the next day, ivy and alex were late for school. coz i was having their ties. *sry sry*

il get u all something. sure wan!!

then pei rong, pei chee, siu wei and i took a cab to sunway lagoon. then yi jie joined us. scorching weh the weather. so we decided to go ice skating. just five to ten minutes after we decided to go ice skating, we changed our minds and decided to go shopping. ate at waffle world. yummy!! i had chocolate banana smoothie, banana and ice cream waffle, the two usual types of spagettiand abit of the strawberry ice cream waffle. mine was the BEST!! superb!!! zes manifique!!

had lots of fun walking around with them.

toilet

what girls do

and again.

yummy!

we look alike.. sort of..

need i say more?

yi jie and pi fee

yi jie and pi fee again.

will post pics from karaoke night on sat. have a great week all u ppl.

note: the hostel makes u fat!!

the hotel

haha according to alvin, that's where i stay for now.
thank GOD for wonderful roommates!

i love my roommates! 4 form 1 kids- ( barbie doll, ah fong(ying hua jie), big tree, and the loudest of them all- double E) 1 form 2 girl ( xiao suan-small onion) and 1 form 4 girl (ah bing). my fren whos also form 5 is the room leader ( ah boon). all under the roof of room no 314. my bed is no 3.

my fren was out the first day. so double E, big tree and barbie doll showed me around. was shy at first.. coz i dunno any of them cept for my fren. so when i wanted to bathe, i got ready all the usual stuff and my towel when they asked me one question: WHERE IS UR PAIL??? how are u going to bathe without a pail?

and i was like: why do i need a pail? i just need my clothes and a towel.
or so it seemed.

instead of ppl lining up in the bathroom, the pails actually stand in line for their owners until they return. so if u do not have a pail, there is a slight chance that u will get to bathe in like an hour or two if you choose the wrong time on the wrong day.

its like this: u take ur pail in the bathroom to "line up". then u can go away n wait unless ur the first 1 or 2. after that, u have to keep coming back to the bathroom to ask the person whos bathing whether she is calling for any "buckets" or "pails" after she bathes. if not, u can tell her to call for your "pail"and she will inform u to bathe after she bathes. just tell her your room number and ur bed number. sounds simple right? i had to go through 3 ppl before fully understanding the whole system. so if u have a pail, u actually have a right to bathe first when u get to the bathroom.

all the trouble just to bathe!!
my roommates asked someone to call for my "bucket" when she finished bathing. phew.. at least i get to bathe.

then later when the study bell rang i got my books and headed for class. my roommates.. those form 1 ppl- double E and barbie doll told me to come back before ten unless i want to spend my first night in the bathroom. TT. first day ade kena ppl bully. hmph. the smelliest place can sometimes be the nicest smelling place!! n i quote: the most dangerous place and sometimes be the safest place.

i've been made leader for one group in CF! scary tho. coz i have err.. zero confidence in myself. anyway whether i like it or not, my group will be incharge of songleading n prayer next week. n how do u pray in CHINESE???
after CF, i took barbie doll, small onion and big tree to suwei's house for hot water bath!! nyahah they relli enjoyed it. then belanjaed them soya bean water. wah syook wei! had a fun time together swinging on the swings in the park nearby. we bought bread too! one long loaf of the long long bread. i forgot whats it called again. cz i had some nice err... gravy or something that my aunt made. n with the bread, it was zes manifique!

oh ya. i made frens with another christian in school!! stays on the fifth floor and apparently is cousin to one of my close friend. haha

the funniest part of the day belongs to alvin at my aunts hse: eh maa.. why wenly zhe stay in the hotel wan??

ahahahha.

on failing

was feeling down during the first week of the holidays. got lowest for chemistry ( thirty something) in class and forty something for physics. but all thanks to God i passed bio. at least i still have some dignity left in me.

felt like a failure.

until i saw this:

Though i fall, i will rise again. Though i sit in the darkness, the Lord himself will be my light.
Micah 7:8

and this:

the steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.
Psalm 37:23-24

Amen to that!

for 7 weeks

this post is for the girl who kept her life a secret for 7 weeks.
7 WEEKS!!

how could u do such a thing ??!!! keeping us in the dark.

anyway tsufei: i wont have this problem coz kirly is in an all girls school. nyahahah!
anyway err u should give her ur blessing.

neways i went to sunway laggon with church ppl and without shuwei!! hahaha.
felt weird at first coz all them cousins weren't there. but had lots of fun!! (haha c la u all go back to KT so no sunway lagoon)
went to some rides on dryland before entering the water. the rollercoaster ride was so syok wei!! the look on Katrina's face when she was screaming.. WAHAHAH. classic! wish i had brought my camera there.
we crossed the long long bridge too!! it had little holes in the floor to let u err look down n c how high u are suspended in the sky. THAT BRIDGE CAN DO BETTER WITHOUT ANY HOLES IN THE BOTTOM. haiyo what if somebody wearing skirt or sumting. mat dou mou sai lor...
had to cross over to the other side to meet mabel then went to the waterpark. FINALLY.

on the way there, i managed end up in the WRONG toilet all thanks to mabel that buttless person with no sense of direction.
sigh.. something just isnt right these days. first the hotel room, now.. this.

screamed thru most of the rides. especially the big big slide in a sortoff U shape thing. had to sit infront tho but WE (cheryl and i) made it quite high. haha the next round with hansel i did not have to carry the big heavy float!! and he volunteered to push the float up when we are near the top of the slide haha. all i had to do was to try n grab the edge at the top of the slide.

then we went to surf pool and buried katrina alive!! haha she looked like one pregnant mermaid. but did not break out from her sand prison quite gracefully tho so she looked like a monster.. hehe. Se ken did a catwalk too infront of the whole surfpool.

followed mabel back for evening service to get transport home from there. she sesated all the way. we dapaoed KFC. and where does she stay? in SG BULUH!!!
HAIYORR aunty arr.. sg buluh got BIRD FLU!!!! and we ate KFC... of all things.

and then... TSU FEI CALLED ME!!!!!!!! the highlight of the day. all the way from some forsaken place in aus. haha tied with small kids in some dance competition. nutcracker wei!! . dun play play.. she IS good. grumbled about her sister for some time then we yakked half the way to church.

(yala yala i know i owe u alot! thnx!) dapaoed roti bom and teh tarik on the way back to her hse. ate half of it with her then played around with her camera. that girl sleeps in the morning. sigh.. animation is so difficult to do.

the hunt

it was fun! but the hotel was stupiak. hehe.

heritage hotel

in the morning, we all semangat woke up at 5 am. missed the opening speech tho. thank goodness. haha

beeyoutifull

i was in 6th uncle punya car. driver: 6th uncle lor. navigator: lak sim. passangers: jan zhe, ann zhe and me! managed to spot a few answers. Jan zhe said im clever wei!!!! did not argue much with her and ann zhe. haha coz on the way jan zhe headache.

the best question: water continent. ann zhe and i looked out from the same window and spotted air asia. we were randomly reading all the signboards and were like: oo air asia. we still coudnt find the answer to water continent. kirly was the bomb! air asia la ! AIR=water in malay. ish. reached the hotel but kena potong markah coz we were late. i think 13 mins late.

so we had to minus off about 13 marks. stayed in ipoh's heritage hotel. all of us were looking for a swimming pool. but they only had a small fish pond. sigh.. stayed around in the lobby coz they had to arrange the rooms and watched helplessly as ivy beat up khin yang and chased him all over the place. aiyoyo form 3 already la ppl. haha but it waz a funny sight.

results were chi gek as usual. but the prize giving ceremony was quite boring. khin liang was soo disappointed they didnt get champion for the chinese group. aih. all careless , he said

seriousnya

checking the answers

one emo person

then we got bored:

ivy's bread: sugar, butter and creamer for the topping

6th uncle got 5th i think and my dad's car got 4th place. not bad not bad. if only we arrived on time, we could've gotten 1st and second.. TT the champions didnt even get the treasure! speaking of treasure, we were supposed to get comic books like batman or spiderman. instead of comic books, only the tan family team got the star two comic section which consists of one spiderman cartoon. haha talk about giam siap. how are the sponsers gonna donate the newspaper later??hahaha..

we had missons this year. the first one, someone in the car gets down at a certain place n shouts at the top of his or her lungs : TA LING, WHERE ARE YOU?? audible for the whole street until he or she finds ta ling, some lady who will give a chop to show that u have done the mission.

so embarassing wei! they asked my to do the shouting. but the smart me went to one fruit shop and shouted ta ling! are u there?? haha one lady came out and pointed us to another fruit shop across the road. ta ling heong gor dou ar,, ( ta ling is at that shop)

nyahaha
the other two missions were not too bad, just had to find the road and the house number.

mission no 2: the field opposite the house had lots and lots of cows!

more cows!

at night, we went for supper at some place called lou wong. so many ppl wei. i thought it was a pasar malam but it turned out to be a restaurant full of people. but we managed to get some tables and so we waited and waited. jan zhe and ivy was falling asleep ade. haha. khin liang ordered TWO bowls of sha hor fun summor. miracle! he never eats anything.

but the food was GOOD!!! yum yum. good thing i never stayed back at the hotel to sleep.

at night, ivy, kirly and i were about to sleep when ale and khin liang rang our doorbell asking us to play with them. HAIYOYO.... just when i was about to fall asleep. kirly wanted to play catching so she went with them. i decided later that i should join them so ivy slept in her parents room that night. haha sry ivy. but instead of playing catching with them, i went to their room and napped until they came back. khin xian wasnt playing too, coz he was SHIRTLESs and talking to some girl on the phone, helping her get her bf back or something.. too tired to listen properly. haha

finally they came back, so i took my pillow and went back to our room with my sis. slept at one something i think

was sleeping so soundly when alvin rang the doorbell in the morning. haiyoo.. just to use the hotel phone. i wanted to kill him!

so i got up and joined ivy for breakfast.

the highlight of the day was when we were checking out.

i wanted to get the contest from star newspaper so i went from room to room to take the pages out. haha i stole somebody else's punya contest page. it was hanging outside his door. haha but according to jan zhe, that room seems empty. so i quickly took out the two pages and slipped the newspaper back into the plastic bag and hung it back outside the door.

then i went to khin liang's room to get newspapers. 714. he was walking behind me n i saw this half open door. i thought he did not close his door so i barged into the room to find some stranger sitting on the couch talking on his phone. haiyoyo so embarassing. he looked a tme as if i were from mars. so maluuu.. khin liang didnt even stop me. his room was just next door..

too bad it wasnt a lengzai. haha

left the place and ate lunch at a restaurant beside lou wong. had ipoh white coffee after that and went home. it rained the WHOLE journey home. water was just pouring from the sky. it was like the whole population in heaven was washing their clothes and empyting pails of water at the same time.

but God brought the whole Tan family safely home.

The End
