Arggghh.....

Anyway 5 more days to CNY..i can't wait...have done my shopping...few more items to get and I'm done...I hope these 3 days pass faster..can't wait to try my hand on blackjack, texas poker, bingo etc...I kinda love to gamble...but am not an addict...I hope Year 2009 will be better Year than 2008 :)

Here's my resolutions for Year 2009:
1) Lose weight
2) Get a part-time degree in Marketing
3) Save more money
4) Get a place of my own
5) Spend more time with my dogs and family

Chinese New Year is coming...

Chinese New Year is arriving and I have yet to buy any of my Chinese New Year clothes...It's time to spend my weekends shopping ard (I really hate shopping & if given a choice I would rather not shop. I only shop once every year - That's before Chinese New Year to buy my clothes. That's all!)

I have decided that I will bring gerger back on one of the days in Chinese New Year and let her spend one night with me & pirate :) It will probably be 1st Day of Chinese New Year.. And I seriously can;t wait for that day to come...to spend time with my 2 darlings...to gamble...to have fun...to play & drink..to enjoy...Cause after Chinese New Year, we only have May to look forward to for our next Public Holiday....

Mary & Cherry

Just a short update on Mary & Cherry here.

They have been shifted to a new boarding kennel and are being boarded there at $300 monthly. Esther has been visiting them and also paying for their boarding. Under her care, they both have blossomed into lovely & sweet dogs..

Mary is getting fatter & Esther is working to get Cherry to be less afraid of strangers. They both get to visit PMDR on the weekends and they are still looking for a lovely home and a family to love them...

If you could, do drop by to say hello to them if you are at PMDR during the weekends. If you could, do pass the msg ard and pray for them to find a loving home
If you could, do give them a chance to be your dog if you are looking for a dog companion

Any form of help will be greatly appreciated...

Heartwarming Story.....

Somone posted on the Aussie dog forum...

Photobucket

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.

I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love,
Meredith


We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:

Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven.

Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by..

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.

Love, God


P.S: I was tearing while reading it...

Pirate the spoilt brat...

Sometimes I think I pamper my dogs too much....so much that it eventually turns them into a spoilt brat....argghhhh...it's sometimes so frustrating especially when pirate the sturbborn brat decides that he had enough of eating dry food that he decides that he will go on hungry strike for a few days....

It just so happen that his kibbles run out that day and the new bag of kibbles will only arrive the next day..so that very day i fed him so HCF...he gobble down everything as soon as i lay his bowl on the floor..and then the next day when his kibbles arrived, he decided to go on hungry strike and refuse to eat his kibbles...he would bite it and then spit everything out of his mouth and then give me that "YUCKS! The kibble taste so awful...I won't eat it..and i shall wait till you give me my HCF" look..and then starts his hungry strike..yesterday was the 3rd day of his hngry strike and he refuse to touch the kibbles...sometime mongrels can be damn stubborn..esp this spoilt brat of mine...

Usually i will give in to him and give him the HCF which he has been fighting for...but this time round..enough is enough..i shall let him continue his hunger strike till he surrender and finish each and every kibbles that i give him...

Last time when ger ger is ard..he wld gobble down his food fast as he is a selfish dog and wont want to let gerger eat his leftover even when he is already full...gerger on the other hand is never a fussy eater...she eats whatever i give her and is contented to have food to eat..that is one thing i love about her...now gerger is at boarding..our prince pirate is starting his bad habits again..since gerger is not ard to steal his food....he better give in soon and start eating his kibbles..this time round i swear i will not lose this battle :S

Visited gerger yesterday..have been visiting her 2-3times a week since she started boarding...she is doing great as usual...my beautiful ger is gaining back the weight she lost and much happier already..though she still whines when i leave (understandable)...i really enjoy the every visit to see her and treasure the time we spent together..she is a darling...and i hope time flies fast..and i get my flat so that my darling ger can reunite and live with us again :)

P.S: Will be visiting bobby tmr..shall update more..

Unlucky number 00229

Got our flat ballot number... unlucky number 00229 out of 164 units..sooo we have to wait to get the leftover unchoosen flats..hopefully there are leftover flats for us to choose from...

I called the HDB hotline and keyed in bf's NRIC number...and then it announced "Your ballot number is 0-0-2-2-9" When i first heard 0-0.. i thought "WOW! my ballot number must be good!" because i tot there should be 4-digits because about 1700 pple balloted in all...so when i heard 0-0, i tot my number should be lesser than hundred..then after 0-0, i heard 2....2...In my mind i was thinking "Rayne Gan, you are soooooooo damn lucky to get ballot number 22..which means i have the privilege to choose among the 164 units" BUT I WAS SO WRONG..after the 0-0-2-2..came another number 9..and i froze and was so pissed....ahhh i got 00229..why cant they just keep it to 4 digits..and why must the IVR announce the numbers so slowly...they made me happy for that split second and then my hope shattered upon hearding that number 9..arrrgggghhh..


So now i have to pray and pray that there will be leftover flats for me to choose from..would prefer units that are 5th floor and above...though chances are not high...but i am still hoping...soo by end Janaury...i wll know my fate...if i receive the invitation from HDB to select...i will be damn freaking happy....
