i wish you happy

i have had many part time cats in the past
they came and went, for lunches, dinners and suppers
and yet
none of them had been so special except for her.

i call her meow
in the photos that i took, she was known as fat.

first time i saw meow, she was lazing in the sun downstairs.
i fed her and her friend, black.
after many times, she started to recognize me.
she would just come, rubbing her head against my legs. asking to be petted.

then i decided to bring her home, or at least outside my house door.
treated her to countless meals and drinks
she would call nonstop till she sees the food
after that, she would want you play. then she would simply walked off to stalk the night

she would always try to sneak into the house, just to take a peek.
once in a while, when no one was home, i would let her walk around freely.
i didn't had to bring her upstairs, she simply invited herself.
she would sit patiently near my door, trying her luck. waiting for me to come home.
because she knew, she would get some warmth from me.

she would play with my laces, bite my fingers and sit on top of the shoe cabinet.
i would have let her become my full time cat if not for the fact that my mum would probably drive me out of the house.

about a month back, my sister asked.
if you see the cat, let me know.
why?
because i saw a cat got hit by a car. and the cat looked like her.
i asked her if she took a closer look, she didn't dare.

i didn't see meow for a few days before the conversation.
i hadn't seen her since.
i had hoped it wasn't her.
but as the days passed, my hope faded.
and my heart grew heavy

was she..
i don't know.
i will never get to know.

where did you go. i hope you are happy.
i miss you~

candy

here i am, mulling over my cup noodles and trying to post a picture of a snake queue on monday for the 5.5million toto. realised that my picture was too wobbly. oops. should be my hand. must have been so excited about contributing to the next lottery draw. hahaa..

well, i gave up on that picture anyway.

movie time!
monday, i watched the shortest movie ever.
20mins worth. it was called 'hush candy'. don't know about it? good.
ha.
it was actually 'hard candy'. for the first ten minutes it was alright, then the whole movie became silent.. for another ten minutes the whole theatre was giggling and talking.
'okay, sorry technical problems. we gotta stop the show. please refund your tickets.'

so my ticket was swopped for tuesday.
tada.. was crossing my fingers hoping it won't happen again. thank goodness it didn't.

the show is nice. i liked it. you would like it too.
it is quirky, deep and colorful.
it's about this 14yr girl meeting 32yr guy after chatting on the net. turns out she is punishing him for being a paedophile.
according to the writer, the idea for the story came from a piece of news. in japan, there was a bunch of school girls bashing up old men who preyed on younglings. ouch

catch it if you can. time is running out.

in order not to bore you to death, here's a summary

5 Aug Sat-
After shopping, was stuck in traffic on the way home. became an accidental singaporean and caught the first series of fireworks. Then to Shan's birthday thing @butterfactory. she got sloshed apparently. strange that pentium was alright considering that it was her birthday too. oh she's pentium. slower mah


fireworks


more fireworks


ahem. me in the middle of the road










flaming lamborghini


the birthday girls








6 Aug Sun-
After tennis, headed for Yas' birthday thing @her home. She's 21! yay for her. Yas had to rush to get ready for a flight though.













8 Aug Tues-
Was bored at work. had a big breakfast.


my big breakfast








9 Aug Wed-
National day. Tennis. Then went to Queensway to shop and got meself a pair of proper sports shoes. Dinner @adam road. Movie @gwc, watched fast n furious: tokyo drift. wow. i think i am a speed monster. the way the drifting is done. wished i could do that, at least when i am late for work, i'll drift there.. haha


10 Aug Thu-
Dinner @lau pa sat with Val (i don't remember when was the last time i ate there even though my office is just next door), Qin's friend from canada. she tried satay, wings, cha siew noodles and chinese dumplings. she liked satay. We then walked from laupasat to boat quay to see the river. i think we were stopped at least 48205 times by the pubs/restaurants along boat quay who was bugging us to eat indian/italian/seafood/porridge/pizza/chinese and drinks. then proceeded to walk (!) to clarke quay for a look. Then to No.5 for lychee martinis. She liked the decor of the place.


valerie, me









11 Aug Fri-
Dinner @a ramen place. i had mixed rice though, could never finish a bowl of ramen, it's simply too huge. went to check out Q Bar @old parliament lane. they have al fresco, downstairs and upstairs. it was so crowded downstairs that we decided to go up to the 'disco' area. drinks are resonably priced @10bucks and came in new york standard (alcohol level is 1.5times compared to local drinks). at the bar, they have this see thru fridge that houses one of the most variety of vodkas. simply just looking at it makes one drool.


from the balcony of Q at 1.48am












12 Aug Sat-
i caught up with my sleep finally. Went to see the last of fireworks on the rooftop. had pizza and wine to finish off the night. saw a girl got sloshed on the sidewalk, i think she cut her leg or something too. can you imagine waking up with a bloody hangover and pain in her foot? ouch.

forget the world

chasing cars, by snow patrol.

grey's version. love it

whhooosh

movie

today i caught a movie.
the lake house.
also known to us asians as 'the kelong' (house on water)

it's a really sweet show.
letter writing are such a past now, isn't it?
i used to write more. now? no time, or rather lazy

a brief summary.
sandra the doc, leaves the lake house she was renting, for the city (chicago)
keanu moves in. gets a letter saying, dear new tenant..
strange, thinks keanu.
he replied, dear old tenant, this place has been deserted for a while. how can it be?

turns out the two of them are writing to each other from two different points in time. literally. one is 2004, the other 2006. could this be happening?
so they communicated, and fell in love.

the house is made of steel and glass. very nice.
so all activities in the house are in sight.
as said by the father in the show.
light is very important.
the light here in chigaco is different from the light in tokyo.
he was talking abt how the light shines into different buildings to create different effects. architecture.

i love lights. especially evening lights.
when the sun sets, the skies are all so psykedelic.

i think i can watch it again.

weekend

the weekend is over!
aww. had a bbq/chalet with the clowns. yes clowns.

food and drinks yippee. marshmellows ooh.
whiskey yum.
halfway thru the bbq, had to do a bye at the airport for Junko.
but alas, the crowd's too much for us to say a proper byebye.
hope to see her soon. japan.

made my way back. then another trip out for the little rae of sunshine. she couldn't stay. auntie, you want our resume?
more food when i got back. mmm. honey wings.
chicky chops (courtesy of my mum's marination)

packed up finally at 3am.
daren didnt let us sleep. so we had pillow fights.

first fight. me vs shann. i said BBQ factory and she jumped. haha. bumped her head.
second fight. girls vs daren. he was being an ass so we jumped on him.
ended up i was clinging on to him like he was a wild bull to be tamed.
almost got thrown off the bed and squashed.
hahah.

i see bruises and feel as if i cracked a rib.
ouch.

slept like a sardine. no.. more like 小龙女, according to lina. with half of me out of the bed.
maybe i will master sleeping on the ropes soon.

woke up at 6am to find pam disappear. thought she got kidnapped but her heels was gone, don't think kidnappers had time to put her shoes on for her.
well, turns out she went home quietly. shhhhhh.

ended the sunday with a trip to meidi-ya. bought chocolates that almost killed my throat, but i couldn't resist!!
who can resist chocs raise your hands!

but i had to stop eating them cos i was coughing away madly in my quiet little office.had to run out everytime, incase they thought there was a fish in my throat.
