Animal Planet

I absolutely love Animal Planet. Not a planet exclusively for animals; the planet unfortunately doesn't exist, but a channel on Astro that features all day long of animal-related materials like rescuing animals from the street, documentaries and even America's funniest animals. Nowadays, there are fewer people who adores animals, especially pets, I, for one, am one. Pretty nasty sentence structure I know; that's because I've not been catching up with my reading. Or papers. Which is something I'm not particularly proud of since I had to hear of that front page image of an LRT dangling out of its tracks as if from a "Superman" from someone, not its source =P

Sue me. Blek.

Just the other day I saw a cat (there's one in my neighbourhood that I spot occassionally where there's a bell dangling from its cute little neck) running with something bloody in its mouth. Ahh... the adventures it must find here. Wish I was a cat for a day..the things I'd see! That would be so fun. Cats always have this way of walking either so gracefully or rather, proudly down the street which either makes someone a sucker for it or despises it. Heh, how nice if I can be more thick skinned and greet everyone I meet like I greet cats. lol. Some, or most of the time, they don't even respond, and I don't feel embarassed anyways. Is that good/bad? I'm so extremely shy that when I saw someone I used to know from church in gym, the instant I saw that person, I looked away. And I think he saw me! Argh. Haih. Better not see him again!

Funny though, how animals are never ugly. Even turtles. Which we reared long ago. Even remembered how we (and sister) got so exited, we found out their favourite food (fruits and carrots mostly). And we found out how they love to bask! So we put up a rock for it to perch. And they sure loved to bask! =)

Yesterday, I met up with some people from church for dinner. It's good to see a really old friend of mine. Haven't seen her in awhile, and it was good catching up.

Today, I went hiking. Bukit Gasing was pretty muddy. My poor Nikes. I even scratched my leg while crossing the hanging bridge. My friend was afraid I might get Tetanus, but I think I had the vaccination in Form 3? I hope..no fever at this moment. lol. This is my second hike after FRIM, where in both occassions I felt nauseated. And then my friend brought up some story about a poor guide who had to carry a dead guy (who apparently died of heart attack while hiking Gunung Tahan) all the way down the mountain. I mean imagine, 5 days carrying a corpse. She went on to describe how fluids start to flow out from the dead guy within a few days of death. I felt like puking even more.

And finally, something for those itching photographers wannabes...

Today, I went to the gym. Quite an accomplishment, as I covered quite alot of ground. And I thought someone was stalking me. It's so weird to see a person everywhere I go..probably I'm a little perasan as the gym is rather small..

Then to Windmills for dinner with my family. I heard a sizzling noise behind, a customer's order has arrived. I turned to the back briefly (since I'm so kepo) and noticed an Indian middle-aged guy having dinner alone. I felt sad that he wasn't celebrating Deepavali with his family. Abit presumptious of me, yeah, but I still felt sad. Probably I'm reminded how sad I feel when I'm alone sometimes.

After that we walked across the street to to have a drink and listen to some music at the piano lounge @ Sheraton, only that there wasn't a pianist. I've always loathed going to such places because of the smokers, which not only drives me crazy, it stinks up my clothes too. Also, the performances by ladies which are scantily clad are not really my cup of tea. But lo and behold, the lady performing tonight was not anything I've pictured. She has a nice voice too. Although quite bling bling..but I like their music era, ok ok lah..

During intermission/half-time, lol..she came over to greet the people from the floor, and when she came to our table, she said to me "Woh, this is a young one" like I'm some kind of cub or something, like it's probably not legal for me to be drinking or something..don't lah look so shocked, it's quite worrying ya know..bleh. I promptly asked her whether she could do "Misty" and she said she would. Yay. When she asked what other songs I'd like to request, I can't think of any. Darn it. And I so wanted Jamie Cullum's tracks. Well apart from that, breathing in the polluted air was so torturous it spoiled my mood although she did sing well. Towards the end, I was burning some of the mixed nuts on the tealights. Some were really burnt. And I was smart enough not to touch the fork. Which is made of steel. lol. Well, that's lots of fun. not

And then we went back with clothes all stinked up.

That pretty much summed up my Saturday.

Oh, and i got a souvenir; indigestion, at night...

It's gonna be a long weekend. Gotta find things to do to avoid boring myself to death.....

Not Rant #2

Some overdued posts... what the heck.. it's MY blog, and I'll do whatever I want... HAHAHAH. Man, I'm so drunk.

Anyway, I miss Singapore abit. I like how efficient things are there. I like the really fast MRT escalators that whoosh people to whereever they want to go. lol... I like the way things are hardly in bottleneck situations (well, at least while I was there). And for the first time ever, there are actually people who come out of their way to feed those poor forsakened cats in the city.

Sis and I were joking about how people in Singapore either wear earphones, bluetooth or hearing aids. Everyone has places to go and things to do. lol...

Singapore aside, I spotted this sticker at the back of a car; exactly what does "If you don't believe in God, you better be right!" means? At first it was pretty darn hard to tell which direction that person was heading, but I quickly spotted another tiny sticker on its right that says "Jesus loves"... yeah, still...

Yesterday, I had dinner at Yuen's buffet steamboat. And the oddest thing... people are STILL fighting over the chicken wings there! I was like... crazy people!! Those who managed to actually get IN there.. (which was pretty impossible especially if you don't have a fork ready or something) was hording ALL the chicken they can get their hands on! Wow... are those stuff that good? Well anyway, I managed to pick out 4 after the second batch. It was pretty intense.. lol. Just wanted to feel kiasu abit. Haha.
