strength in weakness

This Friday is Deepavali. How nice it would have been to take advantage of the super long weekend to go for a trip behind these shores. But alas Agnes has her school things to do. But we will probably be taking a short trip at years end before she starts her new job at HSA. There has aso been talk of a trip with the girls to Taman Negara around Xmas. That is tentative depending on first whether Agnes has finished her work, and then whether I am able to procure leave for those dates and then lastly whether we would really wanna go to Taman Negara in the first place. There is a distinct possibility that Mz will join us as WL is going. So that is a definite bummer. But rather unavoidable under the circumstances.
All things considered Agnes and myself may be better off planning our own trip rather than going with the girls for what should be a back-to-nature sort trip. With lots of trekking,mosquitoes,sweating and dorm like living arrangements. I think our concept of a holiday at this point is fun and relaxation, as opposed to excitement and adventure.

Bringing down the bunnies to the vet on Wednesday. Just a check up on their general health and well being. will check out with the vet regarding Tuffy's 'pregnancy', get Fluffy's hinds treated and Tuffy's right eye checked out. From there maybe can decide what to do next as far as spaying and neutering goes.
By my estimation the 2 girls (Scruffy and Tuffy) should be going next to be done. Then Fluffy after.

Been working out lately over the last couple of days. People been saying I have lost weight (much to Agnes's disbelief for some reason). Must be all the fasting I did during Ramadan. Missed a number of meals then that may have contributed to my weight loss.
Anyway, I am looking to regain some muscle mass and at least get in shape in the longer term. Hopefully I can maintain my discipline to follow this thing through to its logical conclusion.

The jay Chou concert thingy..

we been unable to secure any tickets from the SISTIC site. A real bummer that almost all the tickets were already snapped up for both dates by OCBC card members. Leaving just mere scraps for the rest of us non-OCBC card toting Singaporeans.
So we may have to resort to buying tickets on the 'black market'. I seen a number of choice tickets already up for purchase over the last few days. But the prices have been on the steep side to say the least. But money should not be the only consideration under the circumstances...

Just amazes me still how the music videos from my Israel trip is still continuing to bless people in so many ways.....

John Rambo

the movie is coming out soon. and what a timely one it is too. In it a retired Rambo is sick of war but is forced to take up arms once more to rescue a group of human rights missionary friends who have been captured and are being tortured by the ruthless military regime in Burma (or Myanmar as we call it now). In the light of recent events, it sure cuts close to the bone of current affairs. Amazing how 2 of Stallone's most enduring franchises are still somehow still so relevant to the times. brilliant...

Spent near $700 on Sunny alone this month. And still Sunny somehow contrived to fail his annual vehicle inspection test due to excessive carbon monoxide. will probably look to go again sometime this week or weekend for a re-test. And if all goes well, then it boils down to getting the vehicle insurance (about $500 based on last years), and road tax ($600 for half a year).
Oh..did I mention that oil prices are at an all time high? Looks like owning a car just got more expensive...

someone been a tad bit too touchy-feelly I been told.
