Naughty Brian

I was feeding them as usual just now and was doing my usual headcount and i found one of my albinos missing!!!!! I tot it was hiding somewhere but i just couldnt find it. It has to be either Brian or she jumped out of the tank. I suspect Brian as the culprit and decided to search the Strawberry. I found the body of albino#2 inside the strawberry. =(

I'm kinda mad with Brian right now cos he killed one of his tank mates!
hmm...... the more i think about this, the more I think this might be a conspiracy! I see Morris hiding inside the strawberry but Brian didnt attack him! And albino#2 that died was the one who was always bullying Morris! Oh my oh my!

p/s: Ann Thanks for the lobster! he's a naughty boy! HAHA!

Something happened to Brian!!!

OMG!! Look what happen to Brian...


lying lifeless....



so sad so i took it out...



No la! Brian is alive la! haha this is his shell! cool huh? ya it's kinda naked now(horny?) cos it just "molted". And he has grown much bigger! it's so unimaginable how he can grow so fast in a day?! alamak at this rate he's growing i will need a BIGGER tank by next month?! This is so fun! My first lobster molting... At first i tot he's dead cos i see his pinchers sticking out of the strawberry lifeless! I poke it with a straw and still no movement(so sad..) and then wala! I just remember that they molt(change their shell) and i peek into the strawberry and Brian was stareing at me from inside.. HAHA!

Anyway today i went back to the shop and returned them one of the albino. Too much fighting already so i decided to remove one of the bullies. Oh btw the albinos are call "Princess of Burundi". Nice name! oh added in some corals chips (Thanks ivan for the tip!) too and they seem much happier now. =) So damn challenging.... haha!

I think my lobster is gay?

Why is everyone thinking of having a piece of my blue lobster! haha! i think the lobster would be the last survivor ok... The fishes are having internal war. The 2 albinos are bullying Morris and one of the albino is actually protecting Morris! It's very interesting! When the 2 albinos try to swim near Morris, it will actually chase them away. I've a picture as proof! haha look! Morris is below it hiding in the dark corner.


Bad news.. one of the 2 naughty albino lost a fin?! I'm calling it "Nemo". I dunno who ate Nemo's fin! It's either the lobster attack it or the internal war, guess i have to observe it further... Yesterday it was still ok leh, just now it's swimming around with just one fin.. Oh crap... hopefully they will settle down once the water stabilises...

Oh i decided to name the blue lobster as Brian! haha cos he's a male lobster living in a red strawberry! so gayish! hahaa :P opps!

Look what i've got!!

Dunno why but there's an urge suddenly to get a fishbowl and kinda rear some fishes. And it sorta became my advanced bday present! HEE! Thanks gals(Ty*g, Justme and Box)!!! Erm.. supposed to be getting me or rather subsidising me for my MP3 player but i think u all wont mind this spontanous change of mind right? :P dont see this like very simple, the food and the chemicals are the price killer...


A new "Strawberry home" for a Blue lobster, 3 "albino"(dunno their name) and 1 Morris.



The blue lobster making his way into his new strawberry home... Dont ask me why i know it's a HE! haha it's just a hunch?! I may be wrong...

I have fun setting up the aquarium but i think i need more practice "scooping" the fishes.. haha abit "qiu ka na ka"(hokkien translate to "hand like leg like that") The 3 albinos was quite a challenge cos they are so hyper active! The lobster was cool cos it kinda walk backwards into the net and then swam out of the net by itself! haha so cute! Good boy...

ok hopefully my little strawberry bowl and its new residents survives at least 6 months?! haha i dunno but i think can la huh! hoho!

p/s: ARGH I need to get the image of the freaky worms at the shop out of my head! SHIT!!!!!!! *think blue lobster..nice fishes.. polka-dots morris... blueeeeeee... white... polkadots........ cute.......*

*update* oh no the bluey is attacking the fishes?! I switch off the light and was observing them in the dark. Bluey decides to venture out of his cave and started attacking his mates? oh no!!! it kept pacing around the bowl, sometimes the albinos would deliberately swam near him and then swam away? are they playing with him or erm.. prey n predator games? oh shit! i hope they can be good friends... wil keep on observing, think tomorrow call the fishshop guy n ask!

OMG!! i absolutely adore this book!!! Can i have it for my bday anyone? Crap it's so damn ex but hey it's for a good clause!

sometimes u just need to listen more carefully

warning spoilers/amazing quotes from One Tree Hill...

Hysterical moment from Brooke!
Brooke: "Oh my god. You guys totally did it."
Peyton: "Um…uh, Brooke, we're, we’re in a church."
Brooke: "So? If I can tell, then so can He."


Lucas amazingly touching wedding speech.
"Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. The belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision, to ignore or simply rise above the pain of the past. The covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. The celebration, of the chance taken, and the challenge that lies ahead. For two will always be stronger than one. Like a team, braced against the tempest’s of the world. And love… will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality… only an announcement to the world for feelings long held. Promises made long ago in the sacred space of our hearts."

and the saga continues...

I think bloggers are taking over the world (or at least SG)! I first read abt the vandalising of NKF building when i was catching up my usual read on Mr Brown (who also found out from a fellow blogger Delta Green.), and it rapidly spread all over blogs everywhere even before the local news reported that night. The NKF saga is still very much blooming in the bloggosphere. Check out NKF-affairs staring Andy Lau, Tony Leong and Leon Lai. Woo! Right on the ball! hahaa (Thanks for the vidz Box) Everyone is talking abt Peanuts.. even the monkeys and elephants in the zoo are getting excited...

I Love Peanut Butter.

Scruffy medic

I forgot how i stumbled upon her blog, was very touched by her entry on why she became a paramedic. What had happen to her and what she has to go through is unimaginable! I admire her courage for taking it strong and living her life as best. The photo of her injured arm on the newpaper tells so much... Very interesting read if you wan to know about the life of a paramedic.

ok enough of the sad stuffs.. here's some excerpts from funnier entries:

"An ambulance usually consists of a 3 to 4 men crew. The paramedic, the medic (medics are NS men in Civil Defence who are level 1 trained) and the ambulance driver(who is also trained in basic first-aid). Not to forget occasionally, a slightly over enthusiastic paramedic trainee. Occasionally we have other medical personel on attachment with the ambulance such as nurses, SAF combat medics (seek save serve!), medical students and doctors. The paramedic is overall crew leader - having the responsibilty of safety for the crew and oversees the care and treatment of the patient. So tell your kids we are not just "the ambulance people", its the paramedic and his dedicated crew of rescue personel!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dead beat today... had only 4 conveyed but lotsa inouts - calls that you left station but are taken over by another alpha. Our lingo for ambulance is alpha as in radio code for letter "a". And hospital is "Hotel". We have horrified quite a number of patients by a slip of the tongue.. "Oh mdm, we are taking you to hotel 4..." "No! i dowan go hotel! I want to go hospital!"

In short: Hotel 1 - SGH, Hotel 3 - AH, Hotel 4 - TTSH, Hotel 5 - CGH, Hotel 6 - NUH, Hotel 7a - KK children, 7 KK Women's.

So don't get freaked out the next time we offer to send you to a "hotel".


Why does the sound of an ambulance siren change when it goes by?

====================================================

My 2cents worth - NKF case - Gold-plated tap? German imported toiletbowl? First class tickets and super entitlements? so what gonna happen now? CEO resign by pressure? Overhaul the Board.. whatever the case is, the patients are the one who will suffer this media backlash... Sue SPH? Siao bo..

Quite sad near the ending, beautiful love always hurts huh? It felt the worst when the other person doesnt even know you actually did so much for him before.. In the show he always get beaten up by his secret society boss to protect the gal. Super SHUAI even when he's all bruised up! kinda funny actually cos he always heal very fast, next day ok already! haha

(Spoilers alert!!)
One Tree Hill was soooooooo sad last night, damn i cried like shit when Nathan cried and when the geeky guy made a very touching speech for Brooke. And yes Peyton finally kissed Jake(although i was hoping she and Chad would hook up instead but thats not gonna happen)


Listening to Robbie's songs now, missed his voice so much. Been floating around with a cranky mood recently... dunno why also... Mebbe i watched too much sappy shows? hoho i think walking is a good stress reliever.. i need to walk more... climbing stairs also feels pretty good...

p/s: my heart goes out to those who are victimised in the London blast. What the f*ck is the world becoming? You cant even take a bus or train without the risk of getting blown up into pieces? Make Peace and Love... NOT War lah...

My sis was at Times bookstore browsing through some interior design magazines and she spotted something that looks darn familiar... Guess what? My aunt's house was on the cover! OMG! they featured 8 pages of the house in the magazine with elaborate description of the interior design and materials. Of cos the furnitures were different but the layout and renovation of the house is undeniable! To see a beautiful house is one thing, to see a beautiful house and chanced upon it having featured on a design magazine is totally unexpected...


Try reading this! haha amazing!

Hopefully they are able to resuscitate the camera else i am going to have a such big hole in my pocket... damn.. and it's all that big beautiful house's fault...

Roger Federer Wins Third Crown



Roger Federer claimed his place in tennis history when he won his third straight Men's Singles title at The Championships by defeating Andy Roddick 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 in one hour and 41 minutes. The 23-year-old Swiss has now won 36 consecutive matches on grass and this brilliantly worked victory was even clearer cut than his four-set win over the American a year ago.

As Roddick, a sporting and gallant loser, admitted: "He has become such a complete player." A truer sentence was never spoken of the astonishing Federer, who buried his face in a towel to conceal his tears of joy at his achievement of joining such modern-era greats as Fred Perry, Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras in collecting a Wimbledon hat-trick. "And I hope it is not going to stop at three," he told the Centre Court crowd after collecting the golden trophy from the Duke of Kent....

Congrats Federer! You're simply too amazing... kudos...

GO Roddick GO!!



Excerpt from Wimbledon.org

Six Grand Slams have passed since Andy Roddick's solitary success at the 2003 US Open in 2003.

However Roddick, who thankfully made the decision as a teenager to specialise in tennis over basketball, knows there is no better place than Wimbledon to end his drought and earn his second major. (great move!)

............

Nebraska-born Andy started playing tennis at the age of four with his older brother John.

In 2000, at 18 years 3 months, he finished the year as the youngest player in the top 200 on the ATP Tour, as well as the as the No.1 junior in the world.

Nicknamed A-Rod(woo.. i like!) by fellow professionals, the charismatic 6ft 2in star is a big hit both on and off the court.

Since 2001, he has been one of the most celebrated athletes in the United States, being featured in non-sports publications ranging from Rolling Stone to Vogue, and twice voted People Magazine's Sexiest Athlete. (woo.. i like!)

He also has an almost-certain TV presenting career when he chooses to quit tennis.

His press conferences are renowned for being must-attend events and he made a name for himself by becoming only the second tennis player (after Chris Evert) to host popular US comedy programme Saturday Night Live earlier this year, and volunteered to take the wrath of Anne Robinson on the celebrity version of The Weakest Link.

And together with his mother Blanche, he has raised thousands for charity through the Andy Roddick Foundation, which was set up in 2003.

Since 2001, his first full year on the professional tour, big-serving Roddick has lived up to the huge expectation placed upon him by winning at least two titles every season.

In 2005 he has so far collected three more, taking his total to 18 by winning at San Jose, Houston (for the third time) and the Stella Artois grass court tournament at Queen's Club, also for the third time.

The powerful American, who was elevated to second seed by the All England Club seeding committee from his fourth-ranked place in the world rankings, is determined to justify that confidence in his ability by halting Johansson's magnificent run.

He then hopes to have another crack at the seemingly invincible Federer.

"If I play Roger I have no doubt about how tough it will be. He hits shots that not a lot of other people even think of hitting. He's kind of immune to pressure right now. Mentally he's so very strong.

"But I'd love to go further. I'm not satisfied yet."
(i'm not sastified too..)


Written by Beci Wood

Andy Roddick will play Roger Federer for Wimbledon Men Singles Championship next. (I love you too R.Federer but u'd won twice already.. Andy's turn to shine now! hoho!)
