my blog is so so so so so so dead.
not that i dont want to blog ok. i wanted to but my stupid phone cable suddenly went crazy and the com refused to recognize it so i couldnt transfer photos. and as you shall soon see, i have a whole lot of photos to post up ok.
cant believe that 3 weeks has passed! so fast, and so much has happened. [well if in 3 weeks nothing changed in my life i guess i would be quite a loser]. obviously i wouldnt be cramming all details into ONE blog post. anyway over 3 weeks i've kinda forgotten what i did already.
anyway! the last time i left off was right before CNY!
for the 1st time in my 18 years, 3 months and 3 days of life, i've nvr not gone visiting on the first day of CNY. i mean, it's the most important day for visiting right? but for some reason none of my relatives opened house on the 1st day so we were planning get Mc's breakfast in the morning, then stay home or something for that day.
so that day, we all woke up at 10+ am to catch Mc's breakfast. when i was brushing my teeth, Truffle the crazy, playful, cheeky, mischievious, hyperactive kitten was playing around in the shower stall and running all over the house.
Maxine Ang couldnt wake up so Mother Ang, Claudia Ang and me left the house. when we closed the door, Truffle was still running around and playing with Cadbury or Strudel or some other cat.
we walked down the stairs leading to the void deck.
we reached the ground floor when suddenly, Claudia Ang went, "oh my God."
so i looked over to the direction that she was pointing, and without thinking, i went, "oh my God" too. there was a small, white, motionless figure lying on the ground.
in a span of a few seconds when we were running towards the figure, many thoughts were flashing in my mind.
1st thought: why is Milkyway lying on the ground? [cos he's been missing for a few days]
when i reached the figure,
2nd thought: why does Milkyway look so small?
3rd thought: ohhhh it's not Milkway.
4th thought: wait--this cat looks familiar.
just then i heard Mother Ang saying something and then she was carrying the figure in her arms and then i realized--
the small, white, motionless figure was TRUFFLE.
she'd fallen out of Maxine Ang's room window.
she was foaming and spewing blood at her mouth and her face looked so much in pain, like she was ready to go anytime. Mother Ang kept saying, "Truffle...Truffle... come back..." although Truffle's blood was spilling in drips frm her mouth over Mother's white shirt.
i quickly called Maxine Ang the pig TWICE cos the 1st time she refused to pick up my call and i rushed up to the house to get the vet's number.
of all days, Father Ang had driven the car to work. of all days, it was a public holiday. which means, all vets were closed. when we did get to the vet, the prices were like more than triple the normal prices cos it was a public holiday.
the stupid vet took so long to come although we were an emergency case and i was so scared Truffle would just die on the operating table in front of my eyes. she was slipping in and out of consciousness and her eyes were stoned like she couldnt see anything in front of her.
i think the amount of tears i cried in that single day was more than i ever cried in the whole of last year. and if you know me you'd know that i hate to cry. :s
the vet told us to go home first and she would call us when she'd helped Truffle take the X ray.
so that was my Chu Yi, spending the day in and out of the vet. not a very good start to the new year.
before Truffle's fall:
favourite blue-eyed girl. :)
the previously hyperactive kitten could barely even move and her ears and paws were so cold. Cracker liked to sleep next to her basket and stare at her sleeping. instead of running around and biting everything that she saw like she used to, she spent her days sleeping and having nightmares while sleeping cos she kept kicking damn vigorously.
because we wanted to take her home and we werent sure if she could swallow, the vet gave us a drip for her. Maxine Ang, being Truffle's owner, had the lovely task of sticking the needle into her neck every day:
i felt weak everytime i saw the needle, it's damn gross.
she looks a lot better now and she's even started walking. of course her walking isnt as fluid as last time, now she walks like a drunk cat. she'd walk a few steps before falling down. but at least she's got a bit of her greedy and playful streak back. :D
random photo of Cadbury with Truffle at the back. i think Cadbury helped the most in Truffle's fast recovery. he'd groom her and sometimes nip her like asking her to get up and play with him. and when Truffle sees him playing she'd get excited and want to play too although she keeps falling down.
Junior isnt as aggressive towards Truffle either. i think he knows that she's injured.
we made Parents Ang pose all gloomy like the ppl used to in the black and white photos:
after that it was off to cousin Chrishirl's house.
nephews Eduard and Emmanuel [both in orangey red] and cousins Shijie and Wenxuan [red and white respectively], frm the maternal side.
the last day of CNY was house visiting with Joline, Li Zhen and Shih Yann! first it was to LZ's house [damn bad fengshui for me i kept losing in gambling BAHHHHHHH], then to Joline's house, where we played Wii!
LZ and i look damn retarded here cos we were supposed to use the remote to.....
yum yum, you'd be surprised to know how vegetarian food can taste like the real stuff.

before Truffle's fall:
favourite blue-eyed girl. :)anyway, the vet said she only had a 50-50 chance of surviving and it all depended on her will to live. Mother Ang actually even considered putting her down. after a day at the vet [$400+ for only a few hrs, WTH?!], we decided to bring her home since at home she had her friends to stimulate her or something. anyway the clinic is a very scary place for animals, they're damn scared of the smell.
Strudel took 1 whiff of Truffle when she came back frm the vet and he ran away like siao.
the 1st few days after the fall:

Maxine Ang, being Truffle's owner, had the lovely task of sticking the needle into her neck every day:
Lucky wants her favourite chair back.
i felt weak everytime i saw the needle, it's damn gross.1st improvement:
she could finally sit up for a few mins instead of lying flat on her side!
almost 1-2 weks after the fall:
she looks a lot better now and she's even started walking. of course her walking isnt as fluid as last time, now she walks like a drunk cat. she'd walk a few steps before falling down. but at least she's got a bit of her greedy and playful streak back. :Drandom photo of Cadbury with Truffle at the back. i think Cadbury helped the most in Truffle's fast recovery. he'd groom her and sometimes nip her like asking her to get up and play with him. and when Truffle sees him playing she'd get excited and want to play too although she keeps falling down.
Junior isnt as aggressive towards Truffle either. i think he knows that she's injured. but then ah, i dont know what's wrong with Truffle now. she keeps scratching her mouth and face so hard until now there's a big sore at the side of her face. there's pus and 1 night i dreamt that there were maggots growing on the sore. :s
so now Truffle is getting better [she even tries to run and pounce and jump] except for the disgusting bloody pus-filled sore on her face. she's going to the vet tomorrow for a check up, so i hope all's well!
back to CNY. the 2nd day of CNY we did go visiting despite Truffle being bedridden at home. first off to Auntie Jessie's house in Sembawang. won 20 bucks in dai dee yay!
we made Parents Ang pose all gloomy like the ppl used to in the black and white photos:
:p
after that it was off to cousin Chrishirl's house.
and i have the most adorable nephews!
nehew Josh frm paternal side. he has the song Low by Flo Rida in his phone!!! firstly, what is a 9 yr old kid doing with a phone and secondly, why is he listening to songs like Low!? shouldnt he be listening to the Power Rangers' soundtrack or something??
nephews Eduard and Emmanuel [both in orangey red] and cousins Shijie and Wenxuan [red and white respectively], frm the maternal side.then we rushed back to check on Truffle. did more visiting over the next few days but dont have any photos so shant waste time.
during the CNY period Jia Yu Mad and i went back to NY to join some friendly that the juniors were having, against KCP and the church that organized it! played 4 matches, won 2 and drew 2: 3-1, 1-1, 3/4/5-0 [dont know lah, forgot the score! but we won anyway HAHAHAHA], 0-0!
the KCP girls' team brought along this boy that is damn small but is really good! everybody damn scared of him and he's only P6!
i finally know why teams like SA and VJ love winning so much, cos the feeling of victory is really VERY NICE! haha! sorry for sounding like a loser lah, but ppl nvr win before can?
after the friendly we all went to Michelle's house for visiting, where i lost like 6 bucks plus gambling. :(
the last day of CNY was house visiting with Joline, Li Zhen and Shih Yann! first it was to LZ's house [damn bad fengshui for me i kept losing in gambling BAHHHHHHH], then to Joline's house, where we played Wii!
she has this damn lame game [forgot the name], and as usual, the lame games are the most fun!
LZ and i look damn retarded here cos we were supposed to use the remote to.....CONCENTRATE! [LZ won btw]
after that it was off to SY's house for dinner and MORE GAMBLING!
SY's black pig that is supposed to be pink.
i love SY's house cos i kept winning there! heh heh!
had dinner, vegetarian steamboat!
yum yum, you'd be surprised to know how vegetarian food can taste like the real stuff.lastly was my house and we played more dai dee. it was damn funny cos LZ kept missing her turn although she didnt pass cos Joline Ng was after her and i was after Joline Ng and Joline Ng kept saying pass so i just put my cards, totally ignoring Tan! haha!
but the ultimate is still Lim SY, with 3 dees also cannot win! haha!
the next day had to start work already. still remember the ice cream place in PS where me and Jia Yu quit after 6 days?
haha we're back to working there cos the boss asked if we wanted to work and anyway jobs are so hard to find lah! anyway now i also dont understand why we quit that time leh, now damn relac and everyday go to work like going out to have fun like that!
this is what we did for the first few days, cos the freezer was spoilt and there was no ice-cream so we sold fried food that ppl werent interested in:
read magazine,
make strawberry milkshake! Jia Yu went to buy strawberries frm Carrefour and she made strawberry milkshake.
she was damn proud of the result.
read magazine,stone and stare at the cashier working, or....
make strawberry milkshake! Jia Yu went to buy strawberries frm Carrefour and she made strawberry milkshake. she was damn proud of the result.but then after those few days the freezer was fixed and we were back to selling ice-cream. and our privacy was intruded upon by a full-timer, this typical aunty that both of us totally CANNOT STAND. you know, the typical aunty that think they know a lot just because they're older and everytime gei kiang and always anyhow rearrange things one?
YEAH. THAT TYPE.
today Jia Yu's face was damn black whenever she talked to the aunty and it was damn obvious until the aunty finally stopped talking to us and emo-ed at a corner. i know lah, damn bad. oh well, whatever!
contrary to last time, i actually like going to work now [except for the fact that i have to face that aunty]! but the sad fact is fake Walcott and CCG are no longer there, no more eyecandy to look at. :(
