Getting to Know You

Now Ive got a little boy and a little girl

Trace msged me this mornin that she found the perfect kitty to keep aidan company ,presenting Toffee...cute lil female kitten half aidan's size...awww isnt she adorable ?

So after i collected toffee from Tracie...i wasted no time to quickly bring her home to introduce her to Aidan! Toffee loves to sleep...mmm a little too much mabbe.

But when Toffee got to the house, she headed straight for Aidan's bed and plonked herself into it. then went to sleep.. Aidan could only stare on helplessly ...

Toffee surveying her new home...Toffee..sleeping again...rare moment when she is awake ...and when she is awake she just stares at Aidan as he sits at the furthest opposite end of the house...staring back at her.

come on guys!? why cant we all get along?
come on aidan! she's half your size and sleepy all the time...why are you so terrified of her ? aaaragh!

aidan tippy toeing across to sneak a closer peak at his new sister...before running away to hide in a discreet corner to stare at her...again

Awww guppy loves you both very very much. you are the 2 loves of guppy's life!

Love Guppy

Oh the stuff you find unexpectedly on the net ! Insane!

(by Sam Jones)(original, maybe)

Love guppy
You mean all the world to me.
Without you I can't be free.
You make me pant considerably.
You're my love guppy.

You have the finest rosebud's taste.
Without you my life is waste,
I'll stick to you like Elmer's paste.
You're my love guppy.

I'd break through a citadel.
I'd fight with a raging bull,
Though winning would seem improbable.
You're my love guppy.

My love's as strong as the mid-ocean ridge.
You shine like the rainbow bridge
or like that light inside my fridge.
You're my love guppy.

For you I'd consume haggis,
or lose the joys of Bacchus,
or live in sin with Mike Dukakis.
You're my love guppy.

No time's too long for me to wait.
For you, I'd fight against Fate,
though maybe you could lose some weight,
You're my love guppy.

Without you, I'd be not whole,
I would have to sell my soul,
or gulp a quart of Tide-E-Bowl.
You're my love guppy.

My passion is always mounting.
I'm like a geyser founting.
Well, maybe not, but who's counting?
You're my love guppy.

The love that is the more intense
always has the most silence,
like quiet bursts of flatulence.
You're my love guppy.

I know that my love is true.
I know that you'll love me too,
or I'll hold my breath 'till I turn blue
You're my love guppy.

I'd not forget you if I tried.
You make me all warm inside.
My love's as pure as Naugahyde.
You're my love guppy.

Then I hear the words let slip
From betwixt impatient lips,
"I want to have a relationship.
You're my love guppy."


Awww come on wont you be moved by this poem too if you were me ? hahaha too bad it wasnt written for me ..I came across this poem on the net today ...awwwww so cute. I swear I would melt if someone wrote me something THIS endearing :P

I spent the whole day hunched over my pc answering a torrent of emails..some friendly some not so friendly today. How was your day today happiegupsters?

More Porkchops Please

Yes I am Happie once again!


Its finally here, the moment i had been waiting for all these months! - Porkchop is finally back in Singapore.

I spent the entire day stocking up the refridgerator with foods that he likes , fresh milk, chocolate, cheeses, I replendished the pantry cupboards with rabbit food - muesli, cereals, oats, and even bought whole meal bread.

On hindsight- i have never had so much "healthy" food in my kitchen for so long. not sure i can get used to it again

I even made thai pomelo salad, marinated some chicken chops. and made tiramisu, ( incase he gets hungry and wants some food) before i headed out to the airport.

Im pleased to report , my precious porkchop had been safely collected, brought home, but alas he was so exhausted from the plane trip back that he had little appetite, too tired to go anywhere, we just cuddled, he surfed the net, watched abit of teevee before he plonked into bed and slept,

Hmmm guess I'll have to devour this delicious dish ...tomorrow!
* hehehehhehe*

Change

Ego Bruised Guppy


It was given to me then It was taken away
Something else was then given , I dont really have a say.
I wonder if this wind of change is blowing my way?
Or will it spell the end of a journey , my time to get off the highway?


Sigh sometimes i think my ego is too big for my own good.

More Lo Heis!

Late night conference calls suck.
Ive been home for the past few nights - on long winded time consuming conference calls - for work. The key take aways I have from these calls are :

1. why is it WE have to accomodate Your timezone? 9pm conference call that stretches till 1130pm? really is that a nice thing to do?

2. why do chinese people, who are obviously smart, experienced, astute business people..FEEL THE NEED TO SLANG. adopt an accent when speaking with angmos?!

3. Its really tiring and a pain to have conf calls that involve one particular person that LOVES the sound of his voice...

4. i need to remind myself why im working...BILLS BILLS BILLS..

check out my dinner for one shlop... everything thrown in a pot chicken stew and rice for one...boohoo...two nights in a row...somebody pllease take me out for dinner! Only made me miss the feasts with friends, CNY dinner at home cooked by mommy, dinner at restaurants with friends...or just MCR dinners at moomoos...o woe is me *wails*



Guppies Love Yummy Yusheng!

On a yummy longing note, spent sunday evening at moos for a nice Yusheng dinner! TracE, Anth , auntie Irene and moo, everyone brought some food along.. check out the spread! NOW compare that to the shlop id been scoffing the past few nights! *grumble grumble*

Anth did the Yusheng auspicious couplet recitals...( also known as uttering auspcious lucky wishes aloud) This is the yummy abalone yusheng from 5 star we also had fresh cockles...there was some debate over Hep B / Hep C risks...but well who cares! u only live once! *yummy*
FaMOUS Steamed chicken from 5 STAR...We had a whole chicken...

sinful oyster omlette..

Oh so delicious fried hokkien prawn noodles...

assortment of pies from PIEKIA ...chicken, chicken mushroom, ham and cheese, pepper chicken..decisions decisions

Guitarman Anth
After dinner, Anth dug up an old unused classic style guitar from moo's lift lobby..apparently it belonged to auntie irene, who had the itch YEEAARRSS ago to learn to play the guitar..someone gave it to auntie irene but i guess the itch fizzled out and the guitar was just left untouched for years..

It was old, the strings were broken, But it was amazing. Anth could still strum a few cool tunes, he plucked my fav "tears in heaven" made me wanna learn to play the guitar too...sigh..
neeways auntie irene gave the guitar to Anth ..and as i was typing this blog, anth happily live messengered me to tell me : "remember to mention the guitar auntie gave me... update everyone by saying I restring it with silver plated strings! "

Play it again Anth
How was your dinner tonight happie gupsters?

What is Charity?

Yep another eventful weekend.

Had a few colleagues drop by my flat on saturday for a CNY lunch. Meowmi "reverse engineered" a damn delicious stewed chicken dish we had in town, and i must say it was a BIG success. delicious is an understatement. I tried my hand and made fried meesiam for the first time ( albiet with instant meesiam mix) hah but it was still yum. Besides Meowmi's heavenly stewed chicken, my meesiam, we also had stirfried veggies, garlic prawns, dimsum, pows, bak kwa ) There was so much food and as usual, by the time we settled down to eat , I FORGOT TO TAKE PHOTOS ...again! aargh!

Everyone left around 4, and as i was washing up after the raunchie lunchie , buoy msged to go get ice-cream . :D he wanted to hit a few rounds on the driving range nearby but when we got to the orchid range, it was closed! @#$@!! so we ended up scoffing desserts and snacks at Tong Shui along Thomson Road instead.

As usual, i was urging anyone and everyone i meet to go make a cash donation to charity to start off the year with good karma. I was sooo Egging Buoy on to go to an AXS machine and transfer some money to a charity.

Guppy : " OK after makan we go find an AXS machine , you donate some marnies to community chest or childrens cancer foundation or something."

Buoy : " Why?"

Guppy :" Build good karma la!"

Buoy : " Thats so you, you throw money to solve every problem, I dont need to give money to do good and build good karma. How much did u donate? 50 bucks? is 50 bucks alot of money to you? This year I will be a nicer person to everybody to build good karma."

Guppy : " Oooooo so u going to be nicer to me huh? coz unless u are nicer to me , u have no hope :P pfffft "

Though i think its a lost cause for Buoy he got me thinking - "what is charity? " cant i just give money? must go feed old people, bather them? or cook for the poor ? what is charity? what is being charitible ? pffffft . mmmm need to think big!

As for being nicer to everyone to build good karma? i think we have a long way to go as far a Buoy is concerned :
On the way back i was still waiting for him to invite me over to his place to meet his wife, and ofcourse check out a "pro's" fishtank. But the invitation never came .

boooooo.

Oh well, at least i managed to pass along the little money cat that was sitting in the drawer all this time :P

Stay tuned happie gupsters! WE ...yes i will come around to you ...WE will do GOOD DEEDS this year, charitible ones, there will be action . just let me stew on this for awhile.
