did i tell you i love nickelodeon?
they’re fantastic clients man. my job for the last two days? watch Avatar: The last airbender.
I thought it was a boring cartoon, but i was wrong. its pretty cool leh. but nothing beats spongebob.
I’m having a spongebob birthday bash next week! whoopee!
we had a bright idea this christmas.
lets’ make an inspirational book for our friends. a thought a day, so like there’ll be 365 quotes/thoughts/random sayings. and then that thought developed into a 2010 planner, with the quotes.
and then we figured doing 365 random quotes will take us a real long time, and i only bring my laptop home on weekends. so scratch the quotes, just do the planner. but that seemed a little boring too. so we added some columns where you can check your moods, to-d0-lists, etc etc.
the idea was conceptualised in October.
To date, one is fully completed, one needs some finishing touches, and now i’m printing a third one.
God help me. i have 6 more to go.
But shopping for friends is pretty much done too.
I’m pretty upset. i was excited for my island holiday. but now i have to spend 2 weeks on the island instead of 1. i know its like a family thing, but 2 weeks without smelling the furkiddos????? how like that man??
oh well. 2 weeks, and i’ll spend the other 50 weeks with them… 
skype my pooches there!!
okay, back to the journals now.
I have a dog that’s a little monster.
He loves new toys and things, whether it belongs to him or not, it’s not an issue, to him, he owns everything.
He checks my purchases every single time, even when it’s placed out of reach, he will figure a way to reach it. And when he can’t, he barks. Loudly, demandingly, and well, noisily.
If you tell him he can’t have one thing, he finds something else to chew on. He’s 3 years old already by the way. He digs through the laundry basket for my underwear (yes, gross), and recently he’s learnt to dig through my bag. Yup. He’s picked out many goodies, from my name card holder, opening it and spewing the contents all over the floor, to my wallet, managing to unzip the zipper and chewing my credit cards.
He steals food from the dining table, climbs chairs to get to my apple juice, cranberry juice (seems pretty doggy safe, but there’s more…), coke, rootbeer, Milo… All in my mug. Yesterday, he stole a 200gm packet of Famous Amos cookies which I only ate like 5 pieces max, and amazingly, opened the bag which was sealed with scotch tape. Realizing he couldn’t reach the cookies that way, he bit a hole at the bottom of the bag instead. He probably ate a couple before he got caught, and yes, he’s still very much alive.
Once when I was very broke, he ate my last beef patty which I was going to eat for lunch. Grrr. I was mad. Two months after I bought my blackberry, he figured that it was a new chew toy. One month after I got brand new DKNY prescription glasses (for almost $500!!) he decided that would be his next chew toy too.
People wonder why I can’t take this dog in hand. I wonder too. I raised a perfectly normal female cocker spaniel, well-behaved, one who keeps her canines on her own toys, one that doesn’t steal food, rummage through things, one that doesn’t keep wondering what she should do next. They’re siblings from the same litter mind you. So why did the boy turn out that way?
Millions of screaming and smacks through the 3 years didn’t help. When I tell him he can’t chew one thing, he stops but finds something else to chew. So even after going through telling him he can’t chew 10 other things that follow, he will find the 11th thing. It’s an endless struggle.
I own a little monster. He makes me laugh when I see his little brain thinking about what to do next and then plotting how to get there. I think he thinks it’s funny too. Apparently, according to my friends, he’s an angel until I get home.
He does not suffer from lack of attention, that I’m sure. Everyone is sure to scream “Rusty!” at least 5 times a day. He gets screamed at, smacked at, but he happily wags his tail when you’re done. Sometimes he throws a tantrum and it doesn’t get better until you keep talking to him for at least 10 minutes.
I think it’s me. But to some extent, it’s him too right? Cuz after reading Marley and me, there’s just some dogs that don’t listen…
Sigh. I love him the most though.
With a heavy heart I’m giving away 2 of my favourite hamsters, Joey and Pixie.
Noelle being handicapped and not in very good health is staying behind.
I think it’s for the better cuz they’re cooped in their cages all the time and hamsters are supposed to be let out once in awhile, but cuz of the dogs I can’t. 
somehow they can sense that the hamsters are being let out and will make a hell lot of noise when it happens. Given a choice, dogs or hammies, the dogs win hands down.
I was very close to swapping Joey with Noelle, but I know Noelle needs more care than Joey. I hope the little 8-year old boy takes good care of them.
I’m sad ok.
It was probably the worst long weekend ever.
Seriously I doubt 2009 is a good year for my health man. Anyway I have never been sick for so many many days before. Boo hoo. And all it was, was fever, chills and severe bodyache. For 4 freaking mornings, and severe migraine on the 5th & 6th morning! WTF. A perfectly good long weekend spent with early nights and in bed.
(gosh, I’m blogging this in the train and someone just let out a silent super potent fart. Eweww)
Anyway, besides having a ruined weekend, I still managed to make it through Elayne’s wedding with a total of 8 panadols. Pics are up in FB. It was fun! I guess going to weddings are enjoyable provided you know the entire table you sit with. But I’m sure we all enjoyed ourselves.
Ok, I’m gonna remove my Twitter account from the blog page cuz I have many many peeps I don’t know following me. Creepers. Back to making it private!
Loves all! Have a great week ahead!
Pixie decided to break out of her cage last night, and take a walk. Thank god her bones didn’t break from falling from such a height. Wasn’t hard to find her, she was happily eating leaves from the balcony.
It’s too hot or too rainy.
Feeling under the weather, bedridden yesterday and today. It sucks. Aching bones and a fever. Argh.
