Hooray found Ray!

Was workin in Jakarta for 2 nights.

Just before i returned to Singapore, news broke of terrorist attacks at the Oberoi , Taj Hotels in Mumbai India., at that moment i thought- damn im always at these 5 star joints , and travelling around our region . I got pretty shaken. it was too close for comfort. and just as i am blogging this, i saw on the news - a singaporean lawyer who was a hostage in the skirmish, was shot dead. definitely. too close for comfort.

Same deal , stayed at the Ritz Carlton mega kuningan again...*yawn* you've all seen the pics. But this time I had another mission : to find Ray!

Caught up with Ray in the evening after he got off work


Awww happie gupsters dont you think he has lost some weight ?!

After dinner we went to Ray's apartment ( its close to the Ritz Carlton hotel ) to check out what SGD 2000 plus a month can rent you in jakarta city!
stole the bright apartment pics from ray's facebook - coz it was too dark at night to take nice pics - this is the kitchen ,,,

First porkchop, now even Ray is off to Jakarta for some permanent work.

Ray, Di , Moo, Francis, Mags and me caught up over dinner at Vivo city. We decided to buy Ray a nice dinner before he leaves. First we were at Crystal Jade fine dining,. but the whole place was just too posh and poseur for our taste. so we only ordered some small dishes like appetizers, one noodle and one chicken to share before we adjorned to Bakerz Inn to gorge in a more relaxed atmosphere.

The gang finally settling down to a hearty meal at Bakerz Inn yeah we were making alot of noise and i was busy cam whoringMags bot Ray some special milk coated nuts from Bangkok. it wasnt half bad!guppies love macroons! alas they ran out of lavender pink and blue ones...yummy flakey pizzastrawberry slushy thing with mint lotsa pasta..

Go get 'em Ray! make lotsa moolah and come back to do more MCRs when you visit !

P.S I wouldnt mind car sitting your Benz for u babe ;) see u soon!

Three Small Tasks

I'm not trying to be difficult. I just needed to believe that you give a shit.

And so I asked if you would do 3 small things for me:

1) Fix the many blown bulbs and blinking lights in my home.

2) The nitrate level has reached dangerous levels in my fish tank, all but one of my fishies have died on me. Help me fix it . save my Yellow Tang. Make it back to like when we first started.

3) Invite me to your home, to see YOUR fishtank and meet your family

I'm sure you'll agree with me, after all is said and done, apologies dont mean a thing unless accompanied by action.

You almost failed when you didnt keep to your own commitment to turn up at my place early in the morning today. It reminded me sorely of a lunch appointment you made with me that you couldnt make but neglected to inform me. like it or not, I now have a low threshold for small thoughtless actions.

But you agreed to do my 3 tasks. *joy*

When i saw you slaving away, changing the water, mixing the salt, scrubbing and cleaning up the algae and gunk on the glass of my 4 feet fishtank ,I felt it again - the possibility that this "Beautiful friendship" that you promised is for real and here to stay.

a cleaner fish tank,( after your diligent scrubbing and cleaning) with new rock arrangements, a happier surviving tang ( fingers crossed) now we need to stabilise the KH levels and slowly repopulate the tank,

I guess any friendship is like the fishtank. If you neglect it or abuse it..nitrate levels (negative thoughts, poison) accumulates. eventually the toxicity levels kill off your fishies one by one.

Friendships , like the fishtank is constant work. If we keep it clean, keep a an observing eye on it, take pains to maintain it. feed and take care of the fishies in the tank well, then the friendship, like a fishtank and its population will thrive.

So I promise I will continue to be a good friend to you for as long as you continue to sayang me and treat me right. ...and right now i am feeling very happy as i blog from my laptop sitting in my toilet throne room (that now has lights that work!)

And oei you are supposed to complete the 3 tasks within the month !

Gone to see the world!

Remember moomoo?

Moomoo made tacos, tortillas, spaghetti aglio lio and the best damn guacamole ive ever eaten for dinner a few nights ago. Trace n Anth came to join us for the happie meal as well There was so much delicious red and white Moscato to go around ...wheeeeeee!

This happie meal really put a smile back on this little guppy's face. the Moscato made me feel warm and fuzzy all over too :p hehehehh

Neeways after dinner, the conversation came to Moo's latest acquisition of a pair of X'mas edition starbucks bears. For those not in the know, moo is nuts about starbucks bears from around the world. she claimed to only have 20 plus bears but i disagreed, so we made her take out her entire stash of starbucks bears and did a head count. LO! there was close to 40 of those nutty things! insane!

but sooo sooo sooo adorable . With so many starbucks bears you would think she would display em for all to see right? WRONG! the poor cute little bears were all shrink wrapped and stuffed under her bed all the time! what a waste!

I couldnt help myself! heheh while everyone was gushing about the bears, i decided to kidnap one of em, free the bear from a lifetime of darkness shrinkwrapped under moomoo;s bed.

over the next few days i proceded to mms moomoo with updates of the little bear's adventures in the REAL WORLD! it was hilarious!

On 2nd look, the series of mms pics i sent to annoy moomoo really do make for a great kids story. :D I think i wanna quit my day job and go write a children's book...SERIOUS!

Presenting : Pinky goes out to see the world!

Once upon a time, there was a little starbucks bear called pinky. she was one of many many identical looking starbucks bears, living under the loving care of their mother moomoo,

Pinky loved her brothers and sisters, and most of all she loved her mommy moomoo. But she cant help but feel a little stifled and nursed a little identity crisis with so many other identical starbucks bears around her all the time.

" I feel stifled" cried pinky "who am I? What am I? woe!"

Left most of the time under the bed and not allowed to go out to play , Pinky spent most of her free time on the internet surfing websites and chatrooms, one day she met a cute airline teddy bear over the internet, they fell in love immediately and one day Pinky to run away from home with him!

MMS MESSAGE :

"Mommy, Im sorry but Ive fallen in love with a pilot. I noe u wun approve bcoz he's wit m'sia airlines, so Ive eloped with him . I love you mommy!"

Pinky found a job worked hard and being a really smart and cute lil starbucks bear, she managed to score herself her dream job in advertising! Pinky was now an independent teddy bear! she worked hard she made her own money . she had everything a career teddy could want, but she started to miss her mommy,

Pinky decided to send messages to her mommy to let her know that she is doing fine

MMS MESSAGE :

"Look ma! NO HANDS! "


MMS MESSAGE :
"She works hard for the marnies! uh huh uh huh, so hard for the marnies uh huh uh huh "


MMS MESSAGE :
"Sigh It's lonely at the top..."

MMS MESSAGE :

" Tea Time Macarons!"

MMS MESSAGE :

" Free Pizzas for all at the office today!"

Finally Pinky got a reply sms from her mommy : "Gimme back my bear!!!!!!"

Pinky cried tears of joy when she saw her mommy's sms... "My mommy misses me! she loves me!" and finally Pinky made her way home back into the loving arms of her mommy moomoo.

The moral of the story ?

Pretty bears should not be hidden under the bed to collect dust. They should be displayed for all to see, basking under the warmth of the morning sun

MMS MESSAGE :

"Life is like jaywalking , if you are not careful..SPLAT! But if you dont take some risks, you will never make it across faster than everyone else!"

Hmmm wonder which other teddy bear i should kidnap when im at moomoo;s again the next time! stay tuned happie gupsters!

Q is for quiet

Yes I've been quite quiet.

But its time to talk again.

I think today deserves a mention in my blog. The news of the day..well the century, is a black guy finally made it , got elected to be President of the United States of America. Hmm mabbe depressing american politics would become more interesting with him in power. I just hope he fixes the US/World economy so I can still be comfortable in my lifetime. :P *fingers crossed*

The past few weeks had been quite eventful

there were the not so happie ones :

Took ashton in for a car inspection..which he failed. was supposed to re-fit the cataclytic converter , fix him up a little and send him in for a 2nd round of inspections but just havent found the time to do it . MUST get it done in the next two weeks

Work made the announcement that we will get some parts of our bonuses but not all

I gave plenty of feedback , i hoped it will get better but well it got worse. was it a case of failed expectation or lack of respect? it doesnt really matter anymore and in time it will mean nothing to me too.

Fishies started to die on me. its uncanny. the original bunch ended with the death of maroon clown. and now there is only one Yellow Tang left in my huge 4 feet tank.

Then there were the happie ones :

I got a haircut. a really short one. I made the mistake of going to a hearland hairsalon to do a cheap rebond and basically fried my hair to a crisp. After a few weeks of trying to save it by slathering leave-in hair moisturiser every night before bed , i decided my hair was dead and im better off lopping the whole lot off and starting over again. - and now its awfully short :P yikes!

Attended Jas's boy Roy's 4th birthday party. hah it was a blast. and discovered a delish drink ( thanks to tracie n anth's introduction ) Long Flat Moscato * yes happie gupsters you heard it here first on happieguppy.com if you like em sweetish and fruity but light, moscato is the way to go and Long Flat is waay waay gentler on our economic downturn challenged wallets

Moomoo made TACO and spaghetti aglio olio TWICE for me...yum yum!

Yeah went to catch Avenue Q over the 30th of October, with Bijoux and Yarrl. It was Bijoux's SUPER belated birthday gift to me . And it was a blast! My favourite number - The Internet is for Porn ...hahahahah and dont i know it ;) thanks guys.

Sigh October doesnt seem to agree with me... lemme blink. blink real hard...i want december to come by now! now! now!
