Look at what I’ve got when I went shopping! This annoyingly adorable golden oinky with chubby cheeks and cheeky smile and succulent meat. Wanted to bring it home so that we can usher into the Pig Year with an auspicious oinky. Bleks. Actually, because its cute-lah.

The golden pig, christened fondly referred to as Kim Too which means golden pig in Hokkien

Yesh, we’ve got a plenty of prosperity from the side view…

… and from the back too. Yeah, its a mini piggy bank. Got slit to put in coins.

Actually I intended it as a gift to empress. Don’t know if she is fond of it or not though. She usually refers to figurines as “a waste of money”,”collects dust” and “takes up space”. Practical, isn’t she?

But Kim Too is so cute, I hope empress is gonna let her stay. She is not gonna occupy a lot of space and doesn’t need feedings anyway.

Today’s timetable was such a killer. Tutorials, lectures and lab session was like, from 8 am to 5 pm. I am just so, so sleepy.

Right after class I have to do some last minute shopping for empress. And the sis. Imagine a zombie trudging around in Mahkota Parade. Its a wonder I didn’t faint and cause a scene. Haha.

*Cue head - keyboard …… WFgkfrogjrfghsfhhfghdr ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz…..*

Well, anyway, I was kinda pissed off with the quality of service in all the places that I need to pick up things at. Never mind that I don’t need assistance in picking the things I need. But come on, at least when I wanted to pay come and man the cash register okay? I don’t have all the time in the world to wait while you serve all your potential customers that ended up trying everything in the store and not buying. And then there are so many of you, don’t stand and pretend that you can’t hear me when I am obviously waving and calling for you, because I know you heard me and chose to ignore me, to serve your OTHER CUSTOMERS. Stucked up sissies and snobs. Hmph! Wearing t-shirt, flip-flops and tousled hair does not mean I can’t afford what you are selling. You know who am I talking about. Yes, its you. That Yong Sheng Confectionery and that Skin Food. Where they treat you waaaaay better when you dress like you are going to prom. Pffft.

On a happier note, festivities are in air. One can’t miss the pinkiness everywhere, with Cupid decorations and plum blossoms. Gifts and novelties shops are sooo stocked up with pigs, Oh Meeee Gawd! The pink pigs are cute, fat and fluffy and Monokuroboo is just so chic! Black and white oinkies! Oinkies rox!

Happy Valentine’s Day to you lovey doveys out there and just in case I can’t blog tomorrow and thereafter, Happy Chinese New Year too! Pig out and be happy!

Short note: Dear, Stimix, I salute you. _|\_O

Just heard from dad that a friend of his was driving through somewhere near our housing estate (back in hometown) when out of a sudden his windscreen was pelted by stones. The friend of his didn’t slow down, nor stop, but instead drove straight to the police station.

Which turned out to be a good thing.

According to the police, apparently there were two previous cases where the car slowed down, and then they got robbed. Not too sure about bodily harm, although if it really happens, its gonna scared the daylight out of me. (Speaking of which, the incident happened at night). For those who are local, do note that this happened along the road where Shoon Fatt biscuit factory is, so beware. The area around the factory is always dark and obscured by bushes, so its a good hideout for robbers, muggers, and all sorts of people with bad intentions. So don’t slow down even if you are pelted by stones. Ever.

Be extremely careful. It doesn’t pay to stop your car and check the damage, or worst, scold the culprits. Don’t simply assume that those are eat-too-full-nothing-to-do teenagers that needs your discipline. It is extremely vulnerable to appear checking at your vehicle in the dark alone. You can always do so in well lit places, at HOME or the POLICE STATION. Its just doesn’t worth all the shock, loss of belongings and worst of all, endangering your lives.

Expect some rants, whines and possibly some gross stuffs ahead.

Ever heard of catastrophe starts from the mouth or something along the line? Nevermind if you haven’t because you are hearing it from me. Now.

It must have been something I ate, though I couldn’t pinpoint the exact culprit. Dangerous, contaminated, full of bacterias food that is lethal enough to cause FIVE days of continuous diarrhea. Five unfortunate days that drained all the fluid, that made me hungry all the time, that forced me to diet on bread and nutella, that caused a bloated, air filled tummy, that made me stayed near the bathroom most of them time…

…and all that sort of diarrhea related miseries.

During the period, I found out that:

• This “Ubat Po Chai Pills” doesn’t work on me anymore. How sad. Been taking it to curb diarrhea ever since I could remember. Maybe the contamination was too serious. Maybe. I still have some faith left for it.

• Oral rehydration salts rocks! Just like F&N orange fizz drinks, minus some gas and hold the sugar.

• Nutella is nice. Yummy. Just don’t let me see more bread.

• The price of the toilet rolls does have something to do with the texture. Don’t scrimp that few dollars. It is important to get a butt friendly brand. Trust me on this.

• Plain water tasted bland. Extremely bland to the point of bitterness.

I’ve been getting a lot better now, but I still can’t eat what I want. Giving it another few days just in case. Don’t want to dine on nutella sandwiches while others are having nine course reunion dinner.
