We have this umbrella stand base that my dad placed against the wall. It’s Tangyuan’s favourite chillout place. Unfortunately yesterday, the umbrella stand slid down & crushed her…. 25kg umbrella stand on a poor little netherland dwarf.
At first, Bazhang didn’t know that his friend was killed… my dad discovered her body first. He tried massaging her to revive her but it was too late. While my dad was digging a hole to bury her, BZ saw his friend lying motionless on the floor. He went over & used his nose / head to nudge her body repeatedly. When TY failed to respond, BZ went away & hid in their hideout. He was upset the whole night… didn’t really eat his dinner and was generally agitated.
This morning, BZ hung around the spot where he saw TY’s body. My dad chased him back to the cage for his lunch and he refused to come out after that. He’s been in there all day just moping. I think he’s really depressed.
I wanted to wait a week or so before getting BZ another female companion but when i saw how depressed he is, i thought i better act fast. I don’t want him to die of loneliness!!
I’m going to the pet shop tonight. Hope i can find a compatible rabbit for BZ.
My poor rabbits. 🙁
I wanted to do a day to day account of where we went… but it was basically just shop & eat & shop & eat so not much of an itinerary to write about. We wanted to visit The Peak, Stanley Market & the Wishing Tree but we encountered heavy rain every day we were there (except the day we were leaving for Singapore) so we ended up just shopping. Some good places to visit if you’re going to HK soon:
- Sunny Bay MTR. You can take a train from there to Disneyland. Although Disneyland will only open on 12 Sep, the train ride itself is very fun. Hehe… it’s the one place you can really let yourself go and do all sorts of tourist-y things like snapping photos fanatically & running everywhere to pose for pictures. The windows of the Disney train are all shaped lke Mickey Mouse, and there’re displays of all the different Disney characters in the train. Heh. Perfect for puerile entertainment. 😛
- Times Square (Causeway Bay MTR) – 13 floors of shopping!
- Island Beverly (Causeway Bay MTR) – It’s like the Far East Plaza of HK.
- Mitsukoshi / 三 越 (Causeway Bay MTR) – Maxim Dimsum Restaurant – you’re an idiot to miss this place. You MUST MUST MUST try their egg tarts & char siu soh
- Every single Esprit store you come across… especially the one at Tsim Sha Tsui, opposite Park Lane Shopping Ctr
- Park Lane Shopping Ctr – check out the U2!
- This local diner that’s opposite BP International House (Jordan MTR). The macaroni & ham, milk tea, and French toast is droolicious! (I forgot the name of the diner but if you want, you can check out how it looks from my photos. Haha.)
I have a warning though. In case you’re travelling with a smart aleck like i was… do NOT let him take you to see the “longest escalator in the world”. That darn escalator is but a red herring i tell you!! It’s the longest escalator to NOTHING. You just go up up up… to realise that it ends at this stupid road with nothing to see. *Rolls eyes*. Then u spend the next 20mins climbing stairs all the way down… *shakes head*. As if all that shopping didn’t give our legs enough toning!
Zounds & Azure – is one of you holding onto my map? ‘Cos i can’t find it with me. Can you return it to me if it’s with you? Thanks…
😀
My phone bill last month was insane – $206.29 for Singtel and $29+ for Starhub! I’ve never given Singtel so much business in a month before! (Azure – this is where your bonus is coming from ok!)
Surprisingly, I haven’t burnt out yet. Perhaps it’s because i quite enjoy my work. I’m also pretty happy that my boss recognizes my efforts / contributions and gave me a promotion (albeit the paltry increment of $100). Not many people in my company know about the promotion so i’m just basking in my own shadow of glory that i just clocked one of the fastest promotion (5 months since i joined the company).
Ok… self-back patting aside, i’ll be going to Hong Kong this coming Thursday, and will be back on Monday. Wanted to go in September so that i could pay the new HK Disneyland a visit but after seeing the cost of the entry fee, and reading about the masses that will be storming the place, i decided to visit it another time. (Damn, i never seem to get to visit Disneyland… not in LA, not in HK…)
So if anyone knows of any good makan / shopping venues in HK, please drop me a sms fast ya? Am planning to visit at least one salsa club in HK too… hope it won’t be too expensive because i’m super broke (that’s another story). All salseros in Singapore are so pampered at the minimal club entry fees we pay. Sigh.
Okie… sleepy time. Goodnight folks!
Yes, yes, i’m attached. I was hesitant about being so open about it previously because everything happened so fast that i was a little afraid. Not that i don’t have confidence in Clown… On the contrary, i have more faith this time round than previously.
Clown & i are pretty similar in character & tastes. It is actually a little freaky sometimes to have someone so similar to you. It did make me wonder initially whether he was just pretending to be thus so i would like him. Thankfully, no. 😛
I have also realised that i’m also quite protective of Clown. I’m not saying that he’s without flaws but a big part of the reason why i didn’t want to share about him was ‘cos i didn’t want my brothers & sisters in Christ to criticise the fact that he is not attending any church now.
Ironically, Clown is a lot more concerned about my spiritual walk than i am. He bugs me about attending service & going for cellgroup. Being high in my inertia ratings, i often get too lazy to drag myself out of bed to attend church on Sundays. As a matter of fact, i don’t usually go for service unless it’s my turn for backup singing. Somehow, when you only get like 1/2 day off per week, sleeping that 1 hour later on Sun mornings becomes a huge deal.
Of course, everything’s sweet & perfect during this honeymoon period. At this point of time, i do not know if we have any fundamental “deal breaker” sort of difference when it comes to our faith but i will continue to pray that God will be leading both of us in the journey ahead.
🙂
P.S. Heh… if not for the ambiguity of my last post, i wouldn’t have known my blog has more audience than i knew existed!
Just wanted to add that i hope this doesn’t change any of my friendships in anyway. My sons, didi, kors, etc, will always be who they are, just like my sayang will always be my sayang.
Too many issues to consider. I’m still praying about this. Will you pray for me too?
Happy Birthday Qingfu!! Aren’t you touched? I’m always the first to wish you happy birthday! 😛
