Oh my god my internet has gotten expensive!

So I can't post in detail anymore... 10mins/100yen. QQ

And wah lao. I haven't looked at my keyboard for so damn long can. Now that I'm using the Japanese keyboard, I keep having to look at it, and I even had to google for an underscore just to log in to my Yahoo! Mail. (Who the hell still uses it!?)

So, in short, yesterday Day 7, we rented bicycles at 500yen each and cycled to the Imperial Castle, then to Kinkakuji, followed by Gion, and finally Kiyomizudera. No details since no time...so this is just for my personal reference xD

Booked out early this morning to catch the 10.20am bus to Tokyo. Reached tokyo at 7+... Kns it's almost 3hrs longer than our trip to Kyoto!

Now at Jimbocho's Sakura Hotel. And washing clothes...and I just watched Japanese dubbed Pirates of the Carribean end of the World xDDD

...So sad. Can't post until I come back.

Byebye!!!

Day 5 - 6 In Japan!

...Good evening. I just came back from a whole day trip a couple of streets down Kyoto and my feet are hurting like soggy banana. And after I dumped in 100yen into the machine, my blog conveniently appeared on the main page. (Which means...nobody touched the computer since I touched it yesterday O.O) Thank God. Or they'd be reading about boo-boos.

So, we lingered around in Kyoto Station in this hotel I never knew the name from 5+ till about 6.40am xD The weather was friggin cold and we didn't really want to go out and face the weather... Eventually the sun came out and we went out with a crude directions given on a flimsy piece of paper. Walked past the Kyoto Tower (I think it's the name of the shopping mall), then the Higashihongan-shi (I think...I only remember the hongan part xD), and finally came to a little alleyway. We couldn't find our place of residence so we continued to walk in circles and finally found it... Ikoi no ie! (I kept reading it as Ikoi no le -.-???) For some funny reason, the reception area was another corner down the street... .

The reception was open at 7am but the friggin room was ready only at wtf, supposedly after 1pm. ZZZ!!! ZZZZZZ!!!!! I was exceptionally grumpy due to lack of sleep, thus the lack of energy and the resulting susceptibility to coldness. Haiz. Super sian. We sat around the common area and waited around... My mother wanted to go jalan jalan but I wanted to KO until room was ready. There were two computers in the common area, but I didn't have 100yen and my mother didn't want to give me =/ I tried to access the wireless via my psp and it worked but thanks to psp's retarded online function, I could only read my blog but not log in and post -.- Then I fell asleep on the chair...

...until my sis violently smashed me awake, telling me about my morning alarm from my handphone in my bag. Best part? Three Caucasians were in the common area with us, and the ringtone was some really weird song that was obviously European and had funny lyrics "Aqua bomb~" ... ... Okay. I heard one of the Caucasians wondering to himself, "aqua bomb?" Worst was I couldn't find my friggin phone the entire time until the alarm was over. (And the ringing volume was set to ascending. Tmd...)

In the end, I was dragged out into the coldness. I don't remember most of what happened here except the fact that we hadn't bathed for 24hrs and we hadn't even washed up. Went to the nearest 7-11 to buy something so I could get 100yen to use internet xD

With the Higashihongan-shi as the most obvious attraction in the area, we went over and took a look. Friggin' pigeons are damn obvious with their request for food... But well, to be honest, the Temple was huge but generic; nothing too interesting. D= We stood around trying to hide from the wind and trying to absorb the sunlight...but I think my low energy was so bad I still felt cold =/ We went outside and sat near the fountain...and my mother and sis almost dozed off there -.- How do they do it?!

Then we wandered around, found 100yen shops, Pasco (something like our Yes Supermarket), and erh I don't know, some random shops. Super LOL when my mother taught my sis that chopsticks is kitte, and so she went to ask the cashier as Pasco for kitte. I think the cashier is called Nagata. My sis did this funny action showing chopsticks, and Nagata-san asked back, "Hashi?" She gave us chopsticks...and it was printed on it, "HASHI."

Then I stared for a while before telling my sis, "You know? You just asked the cashier for stamps."

Conclusion? Mother + Japanese = No no. Don't listen to her when she tries to teach you Jap. I can't remember the number of times she said something looked exactly like the one we had in our hands and the difference turned out to be that of oranges and apples.

We went back to near the 7-11 (cuz it's the landmark that marks the pathway to our hostel) and went to eat the ramen at the Ramen King Shop. <-- We'd been waiting for it to open at 11am. Ahh. It's the first time I could tell the difference between good noodles and bad noodles...! It's nice! Tasted strangely like ba chor mee (how do you spell it huh).

And thank God!!! The hostel was ready by 12+ and we could check in!! YAY! Ugh passing time literally became a learnt skill by then... We went to our room and it's pretty nice xD For some weird reason, we had a bathroom to ourselves, but the toilet remained public -.-??? Shortly after we settled down and washed up, I pulled down my futon and then everything was a whirlpool of conscious void. (???)

When I woke up I finally went to bathe xD Then...we went out to...erh...I don't remember. I think we went to the same friggin' department stores to buy bento and whatnots. Wahh speaking of bento, we ate them again this night -.-||| Something that I think is nice once in a while, but eating it all the time? No thanks man.

Wtf!! 40% of online time left!!

Then we came back, ate bento, washed clothes...and came down to use the internet. And played PSP and went to sleep.

OMG! I finally can catch up with my day entries! Left out a lot of details, but I guess that'd have to wait.

Today, we woke up to breakfast at the...Ramen King Shop all over again. (Tells you the time we woke up huh) Then we began our day trip to Nijojo (Nijo Castle)! My sis pulled out a map and we started deciphering the map...and started walking. Aouh man. The map looked so small. The roads... ... ... I guess we felt pretty healthy.

Kyoto is damn nice! It's very neat, making our sparsely marked map look super accurate! (Okay... We did debate for a while where we were but anyway) The streets are so much more interesting to look at than Tokyo!

Then we got to Nijojo and bought the admission ticket via a vending machine at 600yen per person. Wow. Let me tell you...if you ever go to Kyoto...GO TO NIJOJO!!! It's highly inspiring!!! Sadly, photography is allowed only on the outside, and not the interior, so I can't show you what it's like... I took the photos of the outside though. (Gotta wait till I come back from Japan) Hopefully I can remember it enough to sketch it out. (Amazingly, it wrote "no taking photographs, and no sketching in the interior")

It's amazing though. The entrance area was for visitors. The floor is made of nightingale wood or something like that because it makes sounds that warn them of intruders sneaking in. Damn cool! Then they have separate rooms for official workspace, meeting room, shogun lounge and messenger room. Damn nice xD If you're wondering what they look like, they look vaguely like Fatal Frame rooms. Haha!

While I'd like to describe more, it's 20% time left tmd. Short points!
- Went to Kyoto Imperial Castle but the gate to the main castle was closed at 3.30pm and we reached only at 5
- Headed to Ni something Food Market and walked around the Teramachi shopping arcade. Very big, very nice, very Bugis and I want to watch a Japanese dubbed Sherlock Holmes! xD
- Walked all the way from there back to our hostel

GAHHH 20% is blinking! I better post now! xD

See you tml hopefully~

Day 3 - 5 in Japan!

The fact that I'm posting means we lived through the ordeal....

Actually, is it the 5th day? Let me do a quick review.

Day 1 - Shinagawa (Arrival)
Day 2 - Shinagawa
Day 3 - Shinagawa (Switched hostel)
Day 4 - Moved out to Kyoto
Day 5 - In Kyoto

Hmm yeah. Wow it's day 5/14 (or was it 15? I forgot).

This is the continuation from previous entry! And sorry, no photos cuz I'm using hostel facilities. Zzz 100yen for 40mins internet.... I guess it's still much better than my trip 4yrs ago when it was only for 10mins...

Time to speed blog before I continue slapping Elmdor and his loonie parties apart!

So, in the end, the hostel guy helped us buy tickets to Kyoto and we didn't bother with the return trip =D We stopped by this small ramen shop for dinner and wah lao. I ate their miso ramen. The amount of douya (taugay?) they dumped into my bowl is like my whole year's worth of douya combined I ever ate. Tmd I didn't know if it was miso ramen or miso douya.... BLARGH. Then we wandered out of the shop and went out to find our next hostel. And once again, we wandered in 8 different directions and never found the damned hostel.

So we retreated and asked the hostel guy... Apparently we're all blind asses at night hahaaa. So we delayed searching for the hostel.

After bathing was our first battle with the 200yen washing machine.

Wow.

City kids are extremely stupid, period.

Sis and moi brought down our laundry and came face to face with the money eating brown colour painted machine. We dumped 200yen in before we started reading the instructions... It said something about pressing a certain button within 10 seconds after we put in the coins. Wow we did that only after a minute and there was no reaction. We stared at the water puking out and mixing and making out on its own while the laundry was still in our hands...and we stared for 5mins before we wandered what was supposed to happen. The instructions said something about not putting in soap and clothes first so we didn't... ... ... Yeah, 200yen wasted.

We came down 10mins later with the washing machine "madly spinning in place" and wow, the water had drained and was refilling so we poured clothes and soap in... and yay, it was a patronising rinse before the machine puked our clothes out with soap on. ... Thus, we restarted the whole process, this time pressing the damned button.

In the end, the stupid button's function was to pause 30 seconds to let us dump clothes and soap in before they started spitting water. Wowww city kids are stupid.

We also served a bit of net before going to sleep...and my old habit of playing psp before sleeping kicked in DX

Woke up at 9+ and check out time was 10 aaahahaha. Did a quick clean up, quick pack up and ate cup noodles before we left the hostel. This time sis handed me the sketchy map the hostel guy drew for us and woot! We found ze sister hostel!

...It was amazingly...big. Literally. Unlike the previous hostel, the hostel obasan didn't speak English but her house had good amenities! Even had this super big TV in the room we stayed in O.O The toilet was just outside.

This is a separate note on its own... In Japan, never fear for the quality of public or house toilets. They are all...automated, and wonderfully sanitised. And in this time of coldness, in this time of need, most of them if not all...warm your asses. It's a wonderful invention royalised (?) in all its rightfulness. And no, I don't care for the function of spraying water at your ass or playing music in the middle of boo-boo.

So, this hostel lady owns this cute dog! Which, sadly, I didn't take a photo of. Either it's just me or all dogs in Japan are docile blur and kok. (!?)

So, being lazy asses, we crashed into bed and slept until 1 +__O

I forgot what we did the whole day. I think we went out to Tokyo main station to check out the place to take the bus in case on the day itself we couldn't find it. (Searching for hostel freaked us out) It turned out surprisingly easy to find though.

We had an inner battle for like 10mins before we decided to check with the Ticket Information counter for the ticket from Kyoto back to Tokyo...cuz y'know, we couldn't really speak Jap for nuts. I think we stood there thinking how to say "Kyoto kara Tokyo made no basu kippu wo uttemasuka?" In the end we went up to the guy and asked, "Do you speak English?" Wow thank God he said, "A little bit." Hahaa throughout the whole thing, he was so serious, sincere and battle like it was kinda funny. I think when we were done and thanked him he was kinda amused too xD

Started shopping at the Yaesu shopping basement or something. Ugh. My feet never hurt so much before. Ass. Friggin long shopping malls.

While I wanna talk more about my shopping trip, frig I'm left with 40% of 40mins to blog and I haven't even talked about getting to Kyoto. So I'll talk about it when erh...I'm accessing internet again.

Ever snipped, we once again ate Bento dinner and wah lao. Is it just me or the soft bone or boneless Unagi all decided to unanimously extinct?!

We watched variety shows back at the hostel over dinner... I don't exactly remember the titles but we watched 3 variety shows:
1. Love Mail?
2. Artistes' past
3. Some challenge thing
Gahhh hh h no time to talk about them xD Would go into more detail later hahaa. Damn funny can. Hopefully can find it on youtube next time.

The bathroom is super old type, but the hostel lady sealed the bath or something. Seems like the standard thing about every Japanese bathrooms is a bath tub, a stool and a shower system that involves both shower head and a tap connected. So you can either bathe standing or sitting. And bathing at old style bathrooms past 10pm is friggin creepy. If horror games ever included Japanese bathrooms...

OH NO!! 20% left!!

...So, we woke up, put our luggage with the hostel lady before wasting our lives away at shopping malls. For some funny reason, my mother and sis both didn't sleep while I was dead as a log, and all 3 of us were supposedly sick, or rather "heaty"...

...

Nooooo. I think I'll log in tomorrow. 5 mins left!

Anyhoo. Waiting for the 10pm bus was the most gruesome time of my life. And the next most gruesome thing is? The trip was from 10om to 6am+. The bus seats...were maybe 3/4 or 2/3 of Genting buses and could not really stretch. D= And the whole bus only stopped once at 12 for a toilet break before it never stopped. I couldn't really sleep -.-||| And frig, they reached at 5+... But check in time for hostel was 7am!!!

We were cold...and tired...and hiding in the corridor of another hotel xD Surprisingly, the staff that walked past didn't find us suspicious and even said good morning .......

...And thus, my online time ends.

More updates hopefully tml! xD Goodnight!

Day 1 - 2 in Japan!

After one whole month of not updating my blog...I end up updating at Japan!

I'm now at the Shinagawa-shuku, using the internet for １００円. Unlike the last time I went Japan, it's an unlimited period of time xD (the previous one, I paid the computer money like using a public telephone every 10 minutes...).

Here's what happened so far!

We took the 6.10am flight on Delta airline, and man, I think I'm going to take Delta flights from now on. Their safety procedure video is damn farnie hahaha. I slept for maybe an hour or two before my mother told me Kaiji was selectable on the video list! So I didn't sleep much. Kept rewinding the video to watch the final game xD

In case you're wondering what Kaiji is, it's acted by Fujiwara Tetsuya (Raitor in Deathnote), about how a typical lazy slug gets thrown into a sudden debt due to a set up and ends up having to pay it via gambles. The story's pretty straightforward, and the idea behind is practically literal. Seems to be adapted based on a manga/anime. Before I digress this into some kind of Kaiji review, let's just say I like it very much because of Fujiwara's dramatic characterization.

We reached Narita airport at 1.30pm (JP time). Then we bought a ticket to take the Keisei Line from the airport all the way to Ueno.

Can so picture Japanese little boys dreaming to become a train operator in the future... Damn cool leh. They stand at the door, blow a whistle and then the train takes off with the door open xD ...then the reality is, they say the same thing every damn day.

We reached Ueno at about 4+pm, and then changed to JR Line, heading to Shinagawa. Got some pretty interesting ads on their in-train screens.

Thus began our 12min-transformed-to-2hr walk to our seemingly non existent hostel. We were looking for Takanawa West Exit. We came out, followed the directions, got some help from strangers and still could not find it even at 6+pm. Check in time was 4pm. -.- Even taxi drivers had no idea where it was...

We met a guy from China at Lawson Station though (convenient store). We thought he was Japanese until I spoke Chinese xD He even tried to give us 1,300yen to take cab to the place just because he felt bad he didn't know where it was *__* but no lah, didn't take it. How can??

Some random Japanese guy whom my mother decided to greet with a Hello responded with, "英語しゃべれない"... ...

...In the end, sis gave a call to the hostel and as it turned out, we were walking reverse direction from the hostel. -_- He came out to greet us at some point and then we realized we were horribly off track.

I feel like continuing my story but it's gonna be a wall of text and a wall of droning... Like how Japanese dogs look surprisingly blur and how the Japanese bathrooms seriously make you feel Japanese hahahaa. But my fingers are freezing... Keyboard feels hard.

BUT I SHALL PERSEVERE!?

Our dinner was some bento cuz Familymart was just beside us and the whole damn street was literally deadman street. Nothing to eat. So we experimented with the hostel microwave and blew up my bento cover =_= hamtaming mother + unfamiliar things = no no.

It was pretty cool; 1st floor = check in area, internet and microwave.
2nd floor = our room, public toilet.
3rd floor = female only toilet.
basement = bathroom

Actually from floor 1 - 3, all the toilets are public toilets... The female only one is cuz the urinal is out of order = _= As for bathrooms, there's A and B, traditional and modern style. I went for B. My sis went for A.

But I didn't go and bathe... After dinner, I went to sleep, and it was only 8+... I woke up at 11+, stared for a while before I went to sleep again. Didn't get up until 5am xD Went to bathe, came back, played some DS, ate cup noodles, and then erh...went to sleep until 12+. Haaahaha. Went out for lunch only at 1.30pm -.-

The room's a square room with a small table and 4 tatamis, with a lengthy plank on the wall and hangers below it. Damn simple and nice. Can start sewing socks in it xD

Lunch was at Go-go-curry. 550yen to eat curry rice with no meat...ok.... Walked around at Takanawa Wing, wandered around, and now we're back at Shinagawa-shuku. My fingers...are freezing. (why am I saying that??!!)

And now we're doing last minute searches on where to live for the next few days. You know, it's kinda stunning that initially we even got our flight date wrong. Now that we're here, my sis told me last night that our lodging is confirmed only for 4-5 apr, and 11-18 apr. The period in between is a friggin void. And you'd wonder why we didn't bring sleeping bags to join the ah pek we saw sleeping in a mini hut in some random street today? So we decided, Kyoto is a nice place to stay! Then realise there's no room for apr 6 night. Got the current hostel guy to help, and he managed to book one room at a sister hostel down the street. Then we bravely did online bookings from 7-10 apr at Kyoto ryokan. Then we went ahead to look for transport...and realize we have to cancel one night at Kyoto cuz the trip to Kyoto is overnight. And we somehow didn't even think about how to come back to Tokyo after that.... And now my mother is chasing us to go eat dinner while our transport problem is still hanging in the air.

If I don't blog anymore, there are only a few possibilities...
1. No internet access
2. We died freezing on the streets

Pray it's not the latter... Time to eat! No updates until I pay 100yen next time xD

Pondering of the Year

And so, Lunar New Year is over. My days of typing in lowercase have also ended as now I uppercase the first alphabet of the first word of each sentence. Why? I also don't know.

As I now 'autopath' to Suzerix the Adalwolf Elder, I alt+tab and surf the internet.

It led me to think about my life this year!

As you probably already know, I'm still working as a temp staff at the same place, for the past 1yr and 3mths, soon to be 4. Why haven't I switched to permanent? Heehee. Recently, a friend has been recommending a few jobs to me, and I took up none of them. The most recent one is one at Ubi area, and it seems okay--until I realize they urgently need a designer. I have too many things on hand at my work that no one else really knows how to handle, and I don't think I can hand over all of them within a matter of a week. And...next month I'm going on a two week holiday, so imagine.

"Hi! I am xxx and I would like to apply for a position that you urgently need filled, but by the way I need about two weeks to hand over my stuff to new workers at my current workplace, and then after two weeks at your place, I'm going overseas for two weeks! Yoroshiku onegai shimasu omedetou hajimemashite."

So...so unbecoming.

So I decided to let this chance slip too.

Oddly, it doesn't actually bother me as much as last year anymore.

And I find that...surprising! Because I'm earning so little I might as well shave my head and become a nun.

I guess I must've lived in a drama filled life a bit too much. Hmm, not exactly dramatic, but I'd say it's a bit too eventful in the negative aspects. So when I had to get a job, a 9 to 5 one, I was very horrified--which was the main reason I refused to convert to a permanent position.

I used to want to doze off at my job when I've done everything I needed to do and have nothing to do. But ever since I found out how to bypass the security that stops me from surfing game forums and stuff like that, it has become...less boring! And it's actually becoming pleasantly peaceful to go to work, complete all my work, not need to answer to my boss for being late, surf game sites and write stories. And after all this, I go home...and begin my nightlife as an archer/a cleric/a bm/a veno. It's archer at the moment.

But I still intend to change job... :D

Maybe in a while's more time. To be honest it's gotten kind of comfortable...

...Still, my uncle's job is still my ultimate dream job--working at home and watching TV 24/7, except I'd be gaming. =DDD

THE FIRST POST OF 2010!!! OMG!!!

Wow I seriously forgot I have a blog leh!!! YAY!!!

Sadly, the reason I recalled this blog, is cuz I wanted to paste the song lyrics to Byul by Kim Ah Joong. The song is from 200 Pounds Beauty... Sad. And I wanted to paste it cuz all the stupid lyrics site copy and paste one another's mistakes, and I finally found the full one. YAY.

Since by popular demand (huh?), I shall...post one post I've been thinking of posting since a few days ago.

I met this mynah.

It was no ordinary mynah. Is this how you spell mynah? The black bird with yellow beak, all over the place? Yeah...

It was damn. CUTE!

Imagine!! We were coming home from dinner behind my house near 7-11, and suddenly...something *attacked* my father and landed on his head. My father swept it off... It was...yes, the mynah.

It stared at my dad. My dad stared at it.

We decided it was just a young bird and walked off...

...It started following us. 8O!!!

Mind you, it was WALKING! Like a speedygonzalles!!! (however you spell it)

So we were wondering if it was stalking us, thus we stopped walking.

IT STOPPED TOO OMG!!!

It randomly switched 'follow targets' between my sis my dad and me... WOWWW SO CUTE!

My dad stepped on the ground, and it hopped. OuO He stepped one more time and it hopped again... AIYAHHH SO KE AI

But...it saw some strangers at the void deck, and decided not to follow us anymore... Y__Y and flew off to find new people to kachiao.

AIYAHHH IF ONLY I BROUGHT IT HOMEEE Then I can brag that I found a bird that actually has a brain!! A mischievous one at that!!!

Ok. That's all I've been dying to say. Now back to recording lyrics.

Hehe. Anticipate my next post...NEXT MONTH *gets slapped*

My Christmas Eve

I'm such a suck ass blogger. I've not blogged for so damn long!!!

Somehow, today, I have found something that motivated me to blog.

My sis (now known as Ring instead of liz), her friend and I went to watch Sherlock Holmes. is that how you spell it? anyway, in summary:

1. I don't know what the hell Holmes is talking about most of the time but I think he's damn smart! (That or I'm damn stupid - .-)
2. I feel that the ending is one of the more original ones...maybe I just haven't seen a lot of movies lately. Most endings lead up in a weird and predictable way...the way this one ended felt somewhat scary but satisfying though.
3. I am so digging the friendship between Holmes and erh...is Watson how you spell it? anyway, wow. Ring's friend thinks Holmes is gay, but I think it's perfectly normal and in fact, quite nice to have friendships like that... aghhh so digging it. It's a show more than tell kind of thing. This thought crossed my mind, "wow. I'd be so happy to be Watson if I had a friend like Holmes!" then i realise that the relationship at home is such that I am more like holmes (troublemaker) and ring is watson (trouble cleaner). end of story
4. nice credits! arty farty.

i will go get the DVD when it's out! and i said the same thing for dark knight but i never bought it (difference is, i never watched dark knight). gah parts of sherlock holmes felt somewhat scarily violent though (i have no jingle bells when it comes to violent scenes sometimes). im not too sure if this is correct but it seems they're trying to show that one of the reasons holmes is so damn smart is cuz he knows the visualisation technique? y'know, about visualising and rehearsing your next move in your mind so it executes the same way...

anyway, that aside, ring's friend (whom i shall dub Weirdo) was talking about the shame of the century. he said he went to a clinic (raffles medical if i'm correct) to do his pre employment health tests, of which one included the HIV test. when the receptionist saw it, she said damn loudly, "We don't do HIV tests at the moment!" and the rest of the patients gave him the death glare. HAHAHAHHA omg. he felt like dying. and then he started to tell us what kind of things he'd have said if not for the shock and shame he felt hahahaaaa. to be honest though, it's kinda...hard to associate him with HIV for some reasons i can't explain. ah well.

and one more joy/terror for the record. my uncles went on a holiday to thailand, and my third uncle left his dog's...son at my house. yeah. so now the 3 month old terrorist is with us. delightfully he's cute, 3 mths old and looks a lot like a..polar bear. but there are just two things that make me want to bathe his ass in a tub of water.

1. He has a terrible fear of heights. when i place him on a chair he whimpers. and like your majesty her highness (aka his mom), he summons you via barking. he's really quiet. but the only time he makes noise is he comes up to the living room from the kitchen, and has problems going back to the kitchen cuz the kitchen is like what, 4cm lower than the living room?????? sigh. imagine...i'm doing my daily hunting of bosses when i suddenly hear a dog summoning me. wtfff. sigh i spent 15mins trying to force teach him to walk down the unstable slipper slope i made there and he was giving me the tantrums. he made it down anyway. and sulked in front of the toilet after that. zzz loser.
2. he thinks my room is the only toilet in the whole house. ZZ. he peed in the living room, my uncle's room, my mom's room and finally ours. and it seems that it is officially his toilet. today alone, he came in twice, both at night. GAH. i'd love it very much...if he'd at least be a little like his mom. surprisingly, despite being a princess, his mom actually requests the door be open so she can use the newspaper in the living room as her peeing platform. duddeeee.

well, the last point isnt very important, and im not too sure what he thinks about me. oh btw, this dog is called Yaya. my mom confused it with yao yao. and i confused him with a girl. anyway, he's curbed his habit of chewing on my toes, and that's good. but now, at 2am while i'm blogging, i hesitate going to the toilet cuz he sleeps in the kitchen. last night i went to the toilet and he woke up. i wanted to go back to sleep but he smacked straight down on my foot and wanted me to play with it, so i kinda started tickling it (he seems to like it...that or he's masochistic? or bian tai? sigh. dogs and their quirks). then i had to get up... 1.30am in the morning and i have work in the morning. zzz. so i dumped him at the kitchen and hoped he didn't follow.. he didn't, but he gave me this look that seemed so puzzled... GAHHH. zz.

i do notice that he follows my mom first, followed by me, and finally ring (priority in this order). not too sure. but im stating this again. im never going to breed a dog. first, if it dies i'd be so sad. second, i cant play my online game in peace. third, i'd die catching dog fleas. zz.

i had more to talk about, but im tired and i can't remember.

so here you go!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :DDDD
