Never look at things from one side

Yest i learnt an important lesson abt life. That is never to look at things only from one side.

I went groceries shopping at NTUC yesterday with dear and when we were making our way to the cashier to pay for our groceries, this malay auntie just turned and knocked onto dear who was carrying the basket of groceries and she just walked away without saying sorry or anything. We saw that her basket of groceries were still on the floor...so is she still in the Q or wat? As i was pissed by her earlier action, i just told dear to kick the basket to one side and just proceed on the Q. But dear refused and offered to carry the basket with him to the front.

Minutes later while its almost our turn, this lady came back and started looking around for her basket. Dear waved to her to come over and collect her basket. Telling her, we thought she is not coming back. The lady kept thanking us for helping her keep her basket cos she really wanted the groceries to bring home and cook cos her son is waiting at home. She said that we're really kind souls and God bless us...(blush*). Then i realised, she actually wanted to put back the fish head that she didn't wan to buy...which is realli kind of her cos usually pple will juz dump the food by the side of the counter in order not to miss the Q. But she is kind enough to put it back to the fridge so that some other pple can still buy.

This incident made me kinda ashamed of myself for having that nasty thought.

~baby-i is born~

We finally collected our baby-i after so many months of waiting. Baby-i is our new family car..Mitsubishi-i. The cutest car available in Singapore now since Smart is not permitted to be sold here. We arrived at C&C early sat morn ready to fetch it home. Seeing the cute i waiting at the car porch, we immediately run over to give it a hug. Hehe...

We woke up super early to go to the town council to get the season parking so that we can officially park baby-i downstairs.

Dear & Baby-i..seems like he doesn't really like melody.

Some items were not completed yet though, the iPod DVD screen which is suppose to come with it have to be ordered. The small antenna have to be given to us. The towel rack and card holder is missing. And to compensate us for all this trouble, we have requested C&C to give us the wind deflector free. Hopefully all these outstanding stuff is settled soon. And can't wait for our baby-i to clock its first 1k soon...i can't afford to spend 1.5 hours jus to get to work everyday. :(

An abandoned quarry, Ubin has 3 of such quarries...we also ventured to the one that is suppose to be sealed from public.

The famous pig of ubin. Heard rumors that the owner is not feeding it cos it eats too much. And i was surprised being the heavyweight it is, it actually can stand on its two legs to grab the potato chips i was feeding it. Wow..reminds me of Twinkle.

Our cycling trip ended around 4+ followed by a yummy dinner at Changi V. Then its home sweet home and nursing our aching legs. Can't wait to visit there again.

Something for all mankind to ponder about...

"Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you realise that money cannot be eaten."

New family member ~ OreO

We got a new pet rabbit sometime back called CoOkie..despite dear's numerous protest to call her OreO, i refused cos its too manly for her. One month after CoOkie came into our live, we bought another new member...this time he can be called OreO~ So we have OreO CoOkie together. Hehe..

Oreo in his nice pink house..hehe.

He is a super duper cute and adorable bunny with grey fur. He is only 1 mth plus when we saw him in the pet shop..and is the smallest bunny i ever held in my hands..he melts our heart whenever he tries to hop but can't cos his legs are not strong enough yet. Hehe...but he is a magic bunny though...has done 2 disappearing acts so far from his cage...hope it doesn't happen again..and hope he gets along well with CoOkie soon so that they can live together happily ever after.

Today marks the birth of our new baby~ Not the actual baby...its our first new family car. It gets its birth cert number. Not something which we've hoped for..i was praying we could get something which sounds nicer like 2888 or 2999 etc. But alas, being the ordinary commoner we are, we can't afford to waste the extra moolah on bidding for some silly numbers. Its really not cheap on this sunny island..u need at least 1k to get one number u like. So we've grown to accept what is given and even consoled ourself cos these numbers dun sound so bad afterall...2 ..3..then 9 invert it and it becomes 6! If u translate the numbers, it basically means 2 ...long...rise...luck! Hehe..not bad eh! 2 person will hv rising luck....yippee...hope it comes true soon...first start, 4D this weekend! O ya, dear, remember to rearrange the numbers in all possible formats also..who knows.

Now I can't wait to get my hands on this baby..they are fixing new leather seats on her now..and this sat we'll be united as one happy family. Yipppeeee...

Bad Day..

The first sad thing was one of my koi died yesterday nite due to lack of oxygen. The air pump was having some problems yest morning and we fixed it before we go to work...but who knows, we found one koi dead when we come home at nite. This koi have been with us since we bought the house...kinda sad to see it go..now only left 7 kois..nt sure if we should buy one more to replace it.

Then i got conned by stupid starhub on the mobile phone promotion. I saw an offer for a O2 Atom Exec at $98..super good buy, so i called up Starhub to see if they still have the promo. The cust service gal i talk to said yes, but limited stocks available. So dear specially took leave for me to get the phone for me this morning. But the Starhub pple told me..actually the whole island is OOS!! And this promotion is actually until last week only. Arrggghhhh.....how can the cust service officer give incorrect information and make us make a wasted trip. I think Starhub should really brush up their service standard. I am contemplating whether I should write them a complaint letter...maybe i should.

watashi wa kirei desu

We went for our first jap class last sat..it was fun! Jap is not that difficult to speak..but i guess learning to read and write the language is the difficult part. Nevertheless, i am looking forward to the day when we can speak jap fluently and know what we're talking about..hehe.
I had a huge quarrel wif dear last sat. I poured out the frustration that i've had wif him all this while..actually its nothing much, but probably i wasn't in a really good mood that day and he kept making me pissed. Sometimes I wonder, how much does dear understand me..he may love me a lot but sometimes i find it really hard to get my message across to him without me losing my temper. Anyways, we managed to make up for it and went for a forum's gathering together. Met some interesting new friends there who shared the same like as us.."Mitsubishi-i". Went home at 4am...nearly died..haven't stayed awake for that long.

Going for this outing made me wish that our baby comes sooner...one more month to go...can't wait. Hope this month past faster.
