I already feel like a parent. Having to discipline, teach and clean up after le fur kid... staying in and making sure he's okay on a friday night, ensuring he's got hot food and dog-proofing the house - all on a daily basis. It isn't easy having a puppy, much less for a family as unprepared as ours. I still think it was a horrible choice, but now ( Read more... )

So yesterday Pres and I had "the talk". Whilst on the way back after sending Marcus, he told me he didn't want me feeling like I had to replace Zak. We were on the earlier topic on how I was still affected by Nicstill being angry w me (from Attica night. Funny how it used to be Zak at Butter) and how I felt like he was trying to be Zak, for me, for ( Read more... )

I'm aware I haven't been religiously blogging entries - excerpts from whatever articles I'm reading online do not count - but much of what has happened lately's not been worth mentioning - well, 'cept for Zeus turning 1, and the groomers finding ticks on him. I'll bet every last doggy treat that he got it at the dog park. He's always lying on the ( Read more... )

Was wondering why we had a month or so without our weekly trip to the movies - then I saw my schedule and realised, I'd been pretty selfish, packing up the weekends and not prioritising family time > Eugene. 

Squeezing in time for a quick post. Haven't felt like I've successfully prioritised my weekend - spent it indoors with le bf.. like just happy we're finally spending some one-on-one time. Jap dinner dates, both of us attempting to do our work... playing games in bed and basically, catching up. Found time to have dinner and catch Resident Evil w fam ( Read more... )

“I learned a lot from Steve. It was absolutely one of the saddest days of my life when he passed away. As much as you should see something like that coming, I couldn’t. Last year, someone shook me and said ‘It’s time to get on.’ So that’s where it’s at today. What did I learn from him? We could be here all month…. I learned that focus is key; not ( Read more... )

ONE FINE MONDAY, DAD ROUSED ME FROM BED WITH HALF AN HOUR NOTICE TO PREP. I RUSHED THROUGH PROJECT DELEGATIONS BEFORE PREPPING IN 15. WE WENT DOWN TO PASIR RIS FARM FOR LIKE, AN HOUR AND WE DECIDED, WE'RE GONNA BRING THIS ALASKAN MALAMUTE HOME. 
I WAS LIKE ?!?!?!?!?!? IN SHOCK THE WHOLE TIME.

Been the worst bout of cough I've had since graduation (from orientations and whatnots) 2009. Dad actually made dinner tonight, after two decades. At least that's how long Mom reckoned it to be. And, he made it specially for me, what w being ill and all (cue tears). 2012's been life-changing. In the first month, I've decided to chart the course of ( Read more... )

Having a tough time making my mind up before the deadline - hoping the weekend's a good reprieve, and I'll know what I wanna do w my life by Sunday this week, hoho. Or at least set a course of action. I've been  ( Read more... )

Not putting pen to paper, with the sentences swelling in your head threatening to tip over; not capturing the very essence of the moment, savouring and consuming the intricacies that comes intertwined with the heartbreaks; not chronicling and crystalising that memory with a few well chosen words and lines and to let the cacophony of voices in your ( Read more... )
