26 Years of Quiet Love: Farewell to My Beloved Baby

Forever my Big Baby Introduction: The Gentle Shadow On April 19, 2000, a tiny terrapin quietly crawled into my life and changed it forever. I bought her from a little neighborhood shop at my local market, the kind that sold ornamental fish, pet food, and basic aquarium supplies (the shop has long gone) . Back then, I actually brought home two or three baby terrapins. Being so young and not knowing much about pet care, the others sadly didn't survive very long. I still remember the tears I cried back then (not as much as this time) , gently burying one in a small hole I dug downstairs at our HDB block. Completely unaware at the time that digging there wasn't permitted! But through it all, one strong, resilient little soul stayed with me: my Big Baby (my parents called her Gui Gui (乌龟的龟) . In those early days, we really had no idea how to properly raise a terrapin. We simply learned as we went. I started with a small, basic tank, changing her water every single day and feeding h...

What a Saturday!

Since 8.30am, I have been staring at the computer, watching Youtube, FB-ing.  Damn it! Is a boring Saturday to begin with.  Ya... I am at work.  Going off at 1pm.  Fish!  Luckily, my fren is on MSN.  If not, I think I will be munching away with the snacks in office.  Well... What to do?  Anyway, I jus down with 2 small packs of Twisties. *Bleah*  1 small banana... *Bleah* 
And 1 Barcook bread!!!! *Bleah*  Cos is Sat, so no q at all.  Usually, I saw lotsa ppl q-ing up for the bread. So-so.  Nt really fantastic.  I had their Raisin cream cheese bread.  Too cheesy.  I dun really like cheesy stuff bt sometimes hv to get use to it cos it appears in Mcdonald's fishy burger. This bread is their signature bread.  Erm... Actually I totally forgot about it having cheese in it cos the last time I had was months ago in March.  Cos of the raisin, I bought it. Haiz... Maybe u guys can check it out again thru their webby at http://barcookbakery.com/home

 Before I came, I down with 1 low fat yoghurt and 4 wedges of papaya.  I think I'm going to visit the toilet real soon again.  Anyway that's not the point.  Today I will start my afternoon more meaningful than morning.  I am going to head for gym straight after work.  If weather permits, I shall go for a dip after a short rest from my gym session.  Den go home, bathe, makan and rest.  Last night nv do mask.  TODAY I must!  Wait for him to finish class at 5pm and fetch mi!  We are going to do his first assignment.  He must pass this module.  I don't care!  I set a high expectation on his studies!  Only I can help him in his studies but he can't help mi at all in my studies.  What to do?  We both are from different fields.  Mi more to business and he more to FM/bldg maintenance.  He knows nuts about my field of work but I know that bits of his field. Not fair right?  What to do?  Sigh...

Now is 12 noon.  1 hour to go and I can get out from here.  No Monday blues but Tuesday blues.  Cos is holiday on Monday!
