--- after office hours ---

Feb 28, 2006

Havent been updating these few days..and Amanda is complaining...cant seem to find the time and energy to update..
Firstly, I do not have the fotos on the 25th...
Secondly, I am just plain lazy

Wow..Elmo was a big star that day...Everyone was hugging and carrying him...hehe..
Made me so proud of him...he's such a lovable boy...Liping kept reminding me that he is a dog and not a boy..but..haha, I dun care...dog or human, love him all the same...haha

Anyway, I couldnt think of anyone who do not like him that day...Almost or all of them liked him..hehe
According to Amanda, he was falling asleep when pple were singing the Birthday song, but i woke him up...Poor Elmo...hehe...Too bad,he was the star that night... but I dun mind him stealing my thunder...

After my JC Gang left, Elmo was sleeping so peacefully...He never even 'detect' that I walked over and sat there for a few minutes.Must be deep in his dreams le...
So I thought I should just send him home first,since he wanted to sleep. But the moment he reached home...his eyes like marbles again...haha..kept wanting to play....naughty boy...

Here, I have to thank everyone who helped me on that day, including my aunties,Lao Ma, Er Yi, San Yi, Si Yi and Liu Yi whom I know would love to be around, but couldnt come, my cousins, Kenny, Weiling, KF & KP,my friends, Amanda, Eric, Jaya, Da Fei,HP, Aihui, Meimei, Liping,Elaine and Ngiam (for helping me to BBQ and making themselves at home),Huiling for helping to to take care of Elmo when I was busy...Thank you!!!!Without you all, I think none of these would have been possible.
However, I also have to apologize to Kheng n Qiuting, coz I was too busy that I Kinda neglected them...really really paiseh...hehe, but still have to thank you all for making the effort to come and stayed till so late....I would also like to thank Pig for returning so late to help me...though just come n help me play with Elmo, but I really do appreciate your effort for returning.

Finally, I would like to say a big thank you to my parents for making this whole thing happen and taking great care of me for the past 21 years, and for giving me the appropriate education, for teaching me the correct etiquette at occasions and for never leaving me for whatever that has happen. I love you all!!!!

Nothing is perfect. The GATHERING may seem really perfect, but it is not flawless...There is one thing that made it so...but I am not going to say what is it. Just let it stay in my heart, hopefully I will know how to overcome this feeling. Only thing I can say is we are quits.
Get past the saddness and here are some fotos to share~~~

Snuggling up my bed...which is supposed to be a restricted zone for him, but PIG kept bringing him up...so now he learnt that he can come up le...

His cutie pose!!!

Me, Elmo and Mummy!!!

Oopsie..he tried to kiss QY gan ma!!!haha

Couldnt resist not taking this foto...so cute....but I had to hide something..hehe, not a very nice view...

Finally, Rong came over to see Elmo...and he got stuck to her jeans...and Shuang said he cried upon knowing that they were leaving...ARE YOU SERIOUS???

Haha, brought him downstairs todae and he was such a good boy...And he made me proud..coz many pple praised him..hehe..my darling boy!!!

Well, not much updates for todae, coz nothing much happened..it was just a normal day...

Oh,this boy went into the master bedroom by himself and shitted there while Mummy n me were busy in the kitchen with the agar agar...
And he got a nice hair cut by Daddy, after me and Mummy's destroyal back in last week..now he's a dashing little boy!!!
But he was so lazy during the 'grooming session'..he kept wanting to sit down and i had to support his butt...his body weight were practically on me...are you that tired,boy??

Nvr take pictures todae also...coz lazy..busy with the agar agar n looking up groomers for him todae...

but anyway, here are some pictures taken some time back.

The shredder machine reported for work early this morning and gosh!!! It was such a mess...but I got no strength to hit him,just lectured him for about 3mins, then I went back to slp, so tired~~

Finally, my Minolta camera is up and working, so I could snap better shots of Elmo to share with everyone...haha
I cut the hair around his eye todae, coz I think the tear stains is making his face smell...and there's this big piece of dunno what, black black de, just near to his right eye, so I cut that area when he was enjoying his sleep...Had to be really careful sia, coz this boy will move ard in his slp...think the scissors poked him slightly..haha

My worst fear came true todae.
He peed on the carpet in the living room~~~SHHHH, I destroyed the evidence le, cannot let my parents know, they might kill me...haha

I think he is getting familiar with the word DOWN already...can respond to it a few times todae...
Now, I am proceeding to Fetch, but everytime I throw the ball, I always forget to say Fetch, keep saying GO, so maybe he will recognize the command GO, instead of Fetch...
Haha, one funny thing to share,
I used the time he went to chase after the ball to hide in the kitchen.Not really hide, but I just stood on a chair, this boy cant find me...haha, it was so funny seeing him run into the kitchen and then out, then I saw that he haben return for sometime, so I was afraid that he might be pee-ing somewhr,I called his name, and then after a few moments, he came running into the kitchen, still nvr lift his head, and then he ran out of the kitchen again.Haiz...The 3rd time he came into the kitchen, he was walking slowly,and he lifted his head..the moment he saw me, I could se him wag his tail...so cute!!!!

Cant wait to let everyone see Elmo on Saturday..haha..everyone seems eager to see him, so I am going to introduce him to everyone and hopefully, he dun get too excited about the new environment and will still stick to me like he always do at home....

Bought a bottle of Kidz multivitamin for him...dunno can drink or not, maybe I will email the vet later...
Bought him more rawhides, but this time with milk de, for the calcium..hehe and also greenies, to get rid of his bad breath...haha...not really bad breath, just to keep his breath minty, so he's more kissable!!!haha

Here are todae's foto, taken with my better camera...

He's chewing on his rawhide again~~

He ran away to sleep in the corner when I was trying to cut the hair around his eye..smart boy hor...know I cannot go in...but I still went in and pulled him out...haha..You cant run away from me~~~

Oooppps~Got caught

I'm tired~~

Take my profile~~~

Hungry hungry ar~~~Where's food?

I am such a smart boy~~~

I think he should get a job in some office when he gets older...My goodness, he can be a paper shredder....well at least he did that to the newspapers...

I was just saying how proud I was todae morning, and then in the night...he turned into a devil,maybe he is angry coz when I went out, I told him I will be back in a while's time, but in the end, I came home quite late...or he is angry that I spent my time watching movie n nvr spend time with him...whatever~~

He chews paper, if I knew this earlier, maybe I should have just fed him paper, dun have to get him dog food...save money and time also....haha...all his shareholders, please do not kill me, I have a hard time trying to get the paper out of his mouth everytime...

The devil did several naughty things todae, he peed twice at the wrong area and got beaten by Daddy...then he went to bite the newspapers, and the urinating sheet that I got for him(it looks sth like diapers, just in a sheet form), and was chewing on the cotton in the sheet...When I saw it, I immediately shouted at him and hit him...Please do not blame me for hitting him~~~I have to teach him...Nvm, I clear up the mess lor...so I decided to teach him a lesson,I confined him to a small area...and this boy, as if still haben got enough beating, he went to bite the paper that I placed below the dog bowl...made a mess again..then I went to lecture him and also beat him again....So mischievous(spell correct or not huh?)

Well, got him a few Cesar, since it was priced at $1.65 each, and it really smelt good..that day I opened one for him...even I was attracted to the smell,needless to say,Elmo...
Got him Beef & Vegetables, Chicken & Seafood, Beef & Chicken mix...see which one he likes most...

Oh ya, his tummy is not so bloated now le...Shitted quite alot todae...
One funny experience: I saw him in his shitting position, but the 'thing' still not out yet, so I quickly went to take a piece of kitchen towel and placed my hand under his asshole to wait for the 'thing' to drop...haha..It was a funny experience...

Today's contributions; in case any of you wonder why I have so many fotos to share, YES, I take lotsa fotos of him and I take them everyday...haha

Another of my personal fave and it is taken by me!!!

Taking a peek at what I am doing~~I taking foto of you lah...haha

He is sitting like Ruby~~Oh dear, is he turning gay?If he is, blame it on the one who tried to cross dress him

Falling asleep soon~~

He seems to be bored...

Again, I am writing this whilst doing my tech comm...haiz...
And Elmo is busy with his rawhide now...
I am so proud of this boy todae!!!
He went to pee in the toilet on his own, I dunno is it becoz I changed the newspapers in his playpen so he cannot detect the smell or what...but I am just proud~~~

I think he has gained more freedom now...we do not really care about where he goes so long as he is keeping himself in the safe areas...haha..But he did went to the restricted zone and the price for entering is a hit on his butt...No, he did not have a cashcard on his head when he entered the restricted zone..no gantries there too..wahaha...I am natural at jokes~~Amanda say de...

He is tired now le...amd trying to get some slp~~~

One thing I am worried now is that is it just gaining weight or is he feeling bloated, ie suffering from indigestion? His belly like getting bigger leh...then Mummy says he didnt poo in the morning..but he doesnt seem to be sick leh..still so playful~~

Left a note at 1:05:00 PM

I am a multiplug now...Writing this and doing my tech comm proposal at the same time...siannnn

Pig came over tonight to take the MS office disc, but she also came over to irritate Elmo, fortunately he is not bad tempered like me,otherwise, Pig's hand could have been eaten off le...
She kept messing up his hair, came up with some funny names for the hairstyles, like what moehog and einstein...damn lame...lamer04...then she kept carrying him.....come on, he dun love you lah...Please leave him alone, he's just a pup...haha

Well, I hope Elmo better not lao sai tml morning...
Coz I fed him vanilla ice cream todae, he seemed to enjoy it..coz he kept staring at me and the spoon I fed him with...
Then when I drank Yakult, he got so excited then jumped onto me..it was so funny...dunno if he's just greedy or he's hungry~~~in the end,he got some leftovers.
Then came Mummy, she took out her fave Potong red bean ice cream..Elmo became hyper again..again,he tried to jump onto Mummy...he got some red bean ice cream too~~
Then, Daddy came by with the orange...he saw it and went over to him,keep sitting by his side, staring at the orange, so daddy disturbed him...he gave him the skin to sniff...Poor Elmo sneezed right away..haha...I think he got abit of the orange in the end

This boy ar...is a very fast learner. From the first day he was at my place, I taught him to SIT. He learnt it right away.(too bad, he still dunno DOWN). So, whenever he wants something, he will sit by our side quietly. Like todae for dinner, he saw me preparing his food, he immediately became active( he was lazing around initially; Amanda already complaining how come he keep sleeping).Then he kept following me around and guai guai sit down by my side ...haha,then I told him,not yet, 6pm then eat dinner..dunno he understand or he realize that I will not give him food,he went to the kitchen to look for Daddy coz he was cooking...haha..smart boy~~

Now left with Rong,haben see him nia...but I bet rong will love him like shuang and evvon does..wahaha...he's a lovable boy!!! I am loving him lotsa too!!!

Though I love him, I will still kick him occasionally, NONO, not coz he's a bad boy...coz he always run around me...i walk then he will get in my way and then I will kick him accidentally. It doesnt only happen to me..it happens to everyone in the family...

Oh, one funny thing..this boy nvr fails to amuse Mummy...yesterday he amused her by barking at the rolling bottle.
First fear I discovered: He is afraid of rolling water bottles...haha..once he sees a bottle approaching him,he will reverse, but eyes still on the bottle,then he will bark at the bottle and reverse again..so funny...Mummy did it a few times...
Next happened todae, Mummy was mopping the kitchen and this boy, dunno for what reason, chiong so fast to the kitchen,he slipped~~~Mummy laughed again...kept saying he's cute~~~

Haha, I think my whole family loves him..Daddy would call in the middle of the day to ask about him and Mummy will also play with him once she's awake...and me? Gotta entertain him in the day...haha

Amanda is now trying to wake him up by that stupid MSN voice message~~~

Well, here are fotos taken randomly~~dunno from which day also

Elmo taking his afternn nap in my room..shhh, Mummy says cannot take ya foto while you are sleeping

When he still has hair~

Shuang says it's a weird pose...haha, but i think it's quite cute with his tongue sticking out...

Looks like a day picture hor..but no, taken in the night...his fave position

My ma is still playing with Elmo right at this moment..haha..she loves him too~~~ she treats him like a baby..and my parents kinda declared him my brother..opps....does that mean???haha

Anyway, he was quite a good boy today...My mum brought him into my room at about 6plus, then she put him back..But I think he barked and whimpered abit, so I brought him into my room to play for awhile. He was still alright for a few moments,but then he started jumping on my bed and licking me...I got a little irritated(you know,early in the morning, and I am not an early bird), so I put him back to his playpen,then nvr bother about him le. I supposed he went back to sleep, as there was nothing much he can do,except,to eat or slp...The funny thing is that he likes sleeping at the place where he pees..alamak,give me headache ar...then he smelly smelly de, but still nicer smelling than Baby...wahaha, Pig sure kill me de...

Today is the first day of my recess break, so I have the whole day to Elmo..haha...he was out almost the whole day, he must be happy,but it is tough for me,coz I gotta clean up the pee n poo behind him...alamak...our kitchen towels, toilet paper and wet tissue...
Save the trees,Elmo!!! Urine at the correct place!!!!

Tried to teach him DOWN todae,he seemed to get it,but I dunno is it he really knows or my tiles is simply too slippery that he slided...anyway, I rewarded him with the treats I got at Daiso yesterday. It has to be mixed with water, coz he still cant take dry food. No teeth yet...

Well, heard the news that Baby is going blind...But no worries, she's not, it's just infection...So I went to the vet with Pig...
When I got home,Elmo did not 'detect' that I was in contact with another dog (lousy Elmo)

Here are some of the fotos I took today or was it a few days ago?Hmm, dont really rmb le...whatever lah..

He's trying to get some sleeppp~~~

Fast shot...otherwise he will turn away

So boring~~~

Here comes a hand to play with~~~

My delicious rawhide!!!

Seriously, I got the intention to keep up with the pace today, but went out the whole day and left Elmo home for almost the whole day. I will try my best to keep this blog updated by the end of this week, though I have the tech comm project to complete...sianzzz

Anyway, Liping complained last night that this blog is uninteresting, coz got no pictures, so I am here to upload some pictures to make it more interesting.

All photos contributed by Lamer02, Shuang...haha...All photos are unclear, coz are all taken by her hp...pardon the skills and quality though...We are not professionals....wahaha

Pig cross-dressed, trying to make him look like the duck...

Shuang's personal favourite...haha

Sleepy Elmo...

Last but not least, my personal fave. Everyone says he's cute in this foto and that it is a nice shot..hmmm,I can see Shuang flying up into the sky liao~~

I dunno how I should start this whole blog thing for Elmo.
But first, please let me intro Elmo to all those people who doesn't know him yet.
He is MY dog. Yes,mine, after 20 years of waiting! There is a long story attached to this,all the way from last year, but I shan't talk here,it's a really long story. All I have to say is that, "Thank you, Xiao Bai!!"
Xiao Bai, my cousin's dog, is now at a faraway place...No, he hasn't die...Just cant get to see him anymore~~~

He came to me on the 13th of Feb,so I shall start from the 13th.Be prepared for a freaking long entry...
Evvon went with me to see him at his previous owner's house...Fell in love with him at the first sight..He was such an active boy as compared to his sister...
I was still wondering how to carry him home when he's so active, but the moment I carry him, he tamed down and did not move much. He turned guai the moment he leaves the house...
We walked to Chong Pang to get his playpen, it was a short walk, but the rain posed a little problem, luckily Evvon has The New Paper to cover Elmo with. Otherwise, he will be a luo tang gou~~

I forgot to inform my dad before bringing him home, luckily Evvon reminded me...Anyway, he was home before me, and he did not pick up my call nor reply my sms, so i reckon i would xian zhan hou zou...To my surprise, he did not throw me out of the house, instead, he flashed a bright smile(I could tell,maybe not Evvon). He also helped me to set up the playpen and played with Elmo. Heng~He likes the dog.

Elmo seemed to have seperation anxiety on the first few days, maybe he feels insecure. It must be a tramatic experience for him to leave his mother at such a young age. He kept barking when there was no one in sight, and he would sit at one corner of his playpen and keep looking at you in a way that it makes your heart melt. He is so handsome!!!

So I shifted my computer to the kitchen to complete my HS102 journal whilst accompanying him so that he wouldn't bark. Pig couldnt wait to see him and she came at about 7plus,near 8. His first toy is a soft ball given by Pig, but he didn't seem to like it as much as his handkerchief.

At this point in time, he was still nameless, as we couldnt think of a nice name for him. My mum wanted Princess actually, that was when she tot I was going to get a girl(that was the initial decision), but who knows,it was the boy whom I fell in love with..haha, Amanda suggested Prince, but it didnt seem nice to me...so I passed it off...

My ma was totally freaked out when he peed on the floor,instead of the newspaper. Now then I realized when a dog pees at the wrong place,there's so many things to do. First, you have to scold the dog for doing it, then you have to calm your freaked out mother down, then you have to clear up the mess and you have to clean the dog's paws and his pe*is.

The first night was a total headache. He couldnt stop barking in the middle of the night, when he couldnt see me or anyone. It was really heartaching to hear him bark his lungs out to get our attention, but my ma was more worried that he would 'offend' the neighbours, so she brought him out to the living room to play. Then came his second toy. A plastic figure, which was a new year goodie.
Seeing him so obssessed with his new toy,I went into my room to finish my journal and updated the JC gang on Elmo. Then the most heartwarming moment came. He ran into my room to look for me,I had no idea how he knew I was there and all I could say is that, that moment felt so good. I know he loves me too...hehe. He came and snuggled beside me while I was busy with the comp.It felt so good!!

Well, this boy got what he wanted from all those barkings. He slept in my room with me.
