From many thousands of miles away (not sure how many)

CL

Hello hello, it has been so long since I last posted, I didnt know how and where to start, especially with the new format. I figured that since NOONE in woot bothered to reply to my email which I sent when I first arrived, ~_~ I would try posting my life stuff here, where I suppose more people are reading...hopefully.

Hmm, so far I guess everything's considered as going well, but there has been blotchers here and there. Finished my first exam on 5th February, hols till 5th March. Monitor broke down suddenly ~_~ so bought a new notebook :D with Vista!! BUTTTT the OS is still so new that whenever I installed any programs, it crashes...I had blue screen like 3 times, and had to reformat each time I identify what the problem was ~_~

My TV then crashed ~_~, so instead of trying to fix it, we got a new one :D....another $$$ burn ~_~. My washing machine is now about to crash...when I put to half cycle, it sometimes goes to full cycle, and vice versa, so I have to check whether my clothes are washed fully ALL the TIME...my softener dispenser which is supposed to be emptied only during the rinse cycle, disappears the minute I pour it in. My dryer is not working ~_~.... SAD LEH??

My apartment door locked konked. Called almost every locksmith in the vicinity of Melbourne, and I think they make more money than lawyers. Why? My lock is only stuck...not spoilt, nonit to be replaced with a new one. Cost for that 1/2 hour job of removing it, unstuck it, and viola, the bill of $105. Yes, the cheapest locksmith I can find (not including the phone calls I had to make to find out the quotes) was a whopping RM315. Shall I be a locksmith instead of a lawyer? I sure dont earn RM315 every 1/2 hr...

Still more to come? You bet. I got a white Pomeranian puppy, the same breed as my brown one. I got it from this breeder who was the only one in Australia and the UK who sold this particular breed in white, so its supposed to be special. Well, I chose my special puppy who was 6 months old, over a brand new baby, coz I was told that it was already potty trained. It was potty trained...IN THE FARM!!! When I brought him back, he thought my brown carpet was the ground, and my green mat was the grass. I am STILL cleaning poop everyday. Sounds fun?

Yesterday night I took lil white Truffles for a walk around the river outside my apartment...I thought he would enjoy the company of other doggies out on a walk as well. The last time I brought him out, he went chasing after possums which were bout 4 times his size. Yesterday, a friendly puppy went towards lil Truffles, and chicken Truff was so scared he jumped straight into the Docklands river...it was 11.30pm, there were indian guys around saying, "hei, its too deep to jump in, too dangerous man", a white lady screaming "you've got to save him, he's a puppy, he cant swim towards u, jump in....who can swim jump, he's drowning"...all the guys looked at each other, all chicken shit hoping everyone else would jump in so they dun hv to jump in themselves, and then one chinese hero who was also walking his dog jumped. Right into the non-moving, deep, dark river...and got my Truffles out. I went to sleep yesterday thinking Truffles would hv died if not for him, one day before he turned 7 months. Am I stressed out? You bet.

This is the view from my balcony, video taken the night before Valentine's day...dunno wats with the fireworks, but since we all share a passion for fireworks, u guys will love it...its about 1 minute video, the real one lasted for bout 15 mins...and yes, tats the beloved Docklands river my Truffles went swimming in...the river that got everyone asking "how deep is it?"

(someone wanna teach me how to just copy and paste my yahoo videos straight here, or maybe just do it straight for me?)

The famous Truffles who almost died on 21st February 2007 but thankfully didn't and is sleeping at my feet right now as I'm blogging this...haih, Thank God for small favours:-














It is 11.15pm. I am taking my lil Truffles out for his walk now. SAFELY. On his LEASH.
