went home yesterday to delivery the bunny food & clean out the cages. the folks were asleep, so once more we did not manage to meet up.hopefully the stars align when I go home next week.

hopefully we will be able to book our cameron trip today after work. agnes finishes earlier today. we could probably meet up somewhere in town and then head down to the agency.the travel agent just happens to be in the same building as our favourite steamboat restaurant.

will be working tomorrow again. it is the third saturday in a row I be working. if it is any consolation, I will not be working again until 19th September.
maybe will take off and leave in between. still have 17 days of leave to clear before January.

Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) finally opens their Wildlife Rescue Centre. It has been an ardous and winding journey to realise this dream. and it has finally come to fruition. I may not always agree with Louis Ng and his methods, but I do respect his perseverance and drive. It is not easy to succeed in animal welfare issues in 'apathetic' Singapore, but somehow he managed to make people care about animals and their lot against a backdrop of skepticism and detractors (including myself).

need a new toothbrush! my current one is getting rather frayed and outta shape.

long time no...blog

internet been giving me problems, hence I have not been blogging or on Facebook as much. the editor and other stuff on blogger not been displaying for some reason. same thing on facebook.

been out cycling last week around our area. seems the bikes still work a treat despite being out of comission for well over a year. gonna try to make this a regular thing to exercise every weekend.

so far our attempts to cook have been rather successful.but not always

been a while since I been back to see my folks. although I been home, they were not home at the time. and other times I been trying to go home there were no parking lots available nearby so had to abort that idea.

apparently I do not know anything about soccer according to one of my 'readers'. as usual such idiots hide behind a veil of anonymity. which of course enhances their credibility. nothing commands respect more than morons who leave rude and inane comments without leaving their name. based on the comments it must be the same guy who waxes Ronaldo's butt every weekend.

Schumacher is gonna replace Massa for the rest of the season. and Massa promises to be back. it is a long-shot at this point in light of his head injuries and eye injury, but never say never.

watched GI Joe.
was an action packed show. something to catch if you want a couple of hours of mindless violence and special effects. there is not much to it in terms of character development or storyline, but sure worth catching if you wanna leave your brain cells at home and to just be entertained. and the babes are hot.

also managed to catch The Hangover.

still not planned our september trip yet. but so far the plan seems to be to fly to penang and then find our own way to Cameron.

not upgraded my mobile phone yet either.

yesterdays NDP parade may just be the best one yet. they took a break from the usual format and presented something different this year. it felt more informal and flowed better as a whole. and there was loads more audience interaction and participation.

the flat is beginning to show that 'lived-in-look' now that we been here for nearly 10 months. wonder when the folks will visit us here again. Leo and lynn only been here once and that was only on the day of our wedding...

Singapore Idol is back and yesterdays premiere was a hoot, if only for all the Idol wannabes who think they can but actually can't sing if their lives depended on it.
