SNOOOOOOOOOOPY!!!!!! Oh my dear. We've just got back from the vet. Snoopy has got a minor stroke and cannot stand, walk, or even sit properly. She don't seem to be eating too. She's now on medication...SNOOOOOOOOOPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The doc said she's got a weakening heart. I've come to know of many dogs that faces the weakening of the heart at old age. Moreover, Snoopy is 9 human years. SNOOOOOPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8:20pm Snoopy is better now. She's no longer so stiff. But she still can't stand. Snoopy keeps swaying her head as she pant as though she've run a thousand miles. Dad cooked her favourite dish today, chicken chop. But she showed no respond to the yumillicious food. She even refused to drink. Either she can't eat, don't want to eat, or don't know how to. This whole day, I've only heard her bark once, at empty air. The pills the doc gave her are meant for strenghtening her limbs. This morning, Snoopy vomitted yellow liquid. Oh please don't go Snoopy. Wish I needn't go to the hospital tomorrow. Now I can't look after her.

Let's see. What should I blog now..nothing special. Will be admitting to the hospital on Tuesday. *sigh* meanwhile...I'm so BORED. But then..there is someone who keeps my mind occupied. HeHe...if you get what I mean...

Notice the new link there? It's Yuki's blog. No, not Yukito Tsukishiro(trey) but Yuki Arashi(Steven). So THIS Yuki is a chinese Australian studying at UWS and his blog title is POLARIS! which happens to be Yuin Yin's nickname. Something so fascinating about that. Okay, u must be confused.

Today is Davama's birthday. Elena, Davama, Ivy, Safura, Kenrick and I went for lunch at the summit and watched Lizzie Mcquire after that. The movie was really nice. Paulo was kawaii but too bad, he's the bad guy. Gordon was such a nice guy that he sacrificed himself trying to coverline for Lizzie. It was so cool. Lizzie and her class went on a trip to Rome! Wish I could be there one day. "One day more...!" We sent the rest home before Elena, Safura and I went back to Summit again to have 2 games of pool and dinner. Guess what, I did a stunt today! I hit 2 balls into 2 separate holes in one shot. Cool eh? After dinner, we sent Safurah to her tuition centre. Next, Elena and I went to Cafe 7 for a chat and now...I'm home! And guess what again, while at Summit, I heard the Great Compassion Mantra in ROCK MUSIC! My goodness!!

Konnichi-wa Minna-San! Yesterday, I attended the annual Bon Odori festival at the Shah Alam Matsushita Stadium. The Bon Odori is a celebration to pay respect to the deceased ancestors in Japan. My sources told me that the Matsushita Stadium is equivalent to the Shah Alam Sports Stadium. But when Elena and I went there, not even a fly was present. Fortunately, we met this family that were also going to the festival but got the wrong information too. So Elena pulled up by the roadside, and I went asking them for the correct information. The Matsushita Stadium is situated near the Panasonic Factory at Section 23. With the help of a guy at the patrol station, we arrived at the Matsushita Stadium smoothly. When approaching the given direction, we're flagged down by some men, whom I thought were traffic police or something. But looking harder, they were members of KL Japan Club. The 27th celebration was a joint organisation of KL Japan Club, Selangor State Government and KL Japanese School. Maybe they had bad experience in the previous years for heavy traffic, this time they assumed every passing car came for the event and directed all vehicles to park at a designated outdoor carpark, about 5 minutes walk from the stadium. It's very funny, thinking how that guy waved his hands at Elena when she tried parking. It was as though, she didn't know how to drive. We arrived there around 6pm and it was already packed but organised. Everyone was given a red color fan writing "Bon Odori" on one side and its sponsors advertisement on the other. The usage is mentioned later on. Elena and I first headed to one field wtih stalls. They sold beverages at a very high price. RM2 for a can of any drink, RM12 for five pieces of Inari, RM5 for a California Roll, and so on. We didn't eat any sushi there. I can even make 'em myself! We took a seat somewhere while listening to what the two Amcees had to say. One is a Japanese speaking girl, crystal loud and clear, while the other is an English speaking man, clear but quite soft. At 7pm sharp, the ceremony begun by a Jap. drum performance. It's cool, the way they sway their bodies when hitting the drum. Very powerful! Then lead by a speech by the President of KL Japan club. First, he spoke in Japanese, which was OKAY. Then he spoke in English!! You know, he's a Japanese speaking English. Veeeery Sloooow... we almost fell asleep. But then, I realised how Japanese spoke with great anthusiasm. They've the "ummph!" there. The next 2 hours were dance and nothing more but dance, using the fan which were earlier given away. The dancers danced on stage in a circle while we formed another many circles downstage, around the stage, and danced along. The dances were divided into 3 Bons, each lasting for 35 minutes. And in each Bons, there are a few Onjos. Elena and I danced through the first bon, watched the second, and went off at the third. We're merely being fools, trying hard to keep up with the rest. The dance steps were slow and simple. Yet difficult to learn because there was a very large crowd. But it was nice, even by just looking at other people trying to learn but looked so funny. I admired very much at some people who came wearing kimonos. Most are children but some adults wore too. Even guys who wore the..I don't know what it is called, but it looked like a bath robe to me. :-) I feel like giving them a big squeeze whenever I see one passing. Because they, especially the kimonos looked so adorable. At around 9pm, we went off to Summit, to eat and wanted to watch a late movie. But by time we were there, the movies had already started, so we just played two games of pool and went home at 11pm. Now, that was one tiring evening!

Will this dilemma ever be solved? Or have I already solved it. Just isn't what I expected. Before me is a forkroad. The road on the left is full of obstacle and curves. There are many challenges in between, some were sweet and some sour. On this road like a curve, it is difficult to see the far end. But the spices on the journey makes all the difference. The other road is very straight. The far end is at sight even at the start of the journey. This is a smooth sailing adventure. Too smooth, that sometimes, boring. I tried the one on the left at first, and felt insecure, fearing that I will never reach the end, for I don't know if the end actually exist, or am I just turning round and round chasing my own tail. So I travelled back to the forkroad and took the road on the right. I thought this would be the best for me. But somehow, I feel neglected. Perhaps, this isn't the best choice after all. I'm confused now. Nothing seem to go my way. After all, I am no different from any other single child, demanding and dominating. I thought I was willing to give in to anyone and be a submissive person. But guess I adopted too much of a character from Yuki. His words are still fresh in my memory until today. "whatever you say." Seems like I always want to be in the winning position. I adopted Yuki's sarcasm and the way of expression. Yuki and I were like pulling a straw, one on each end. It was like a game of tug-o-war. Yuki let go of his end long ago. But seems like I'm still grabbing firmly onto the straw. I'd love to let go...but how?

Somehow, passing by the pavillion reminds me about fond memories of someone. Memories of the past I try hard to bury, but they surfaced anyhow. And everytime it happens, I get mixed feelings. Or like they say, butterflies in the stomach.

Should I call this a dream or nightmare? I was supposedly on a quest to visit my friend, David, in GH. (but it looked more like Pantai Hospital) I tried going using a go-kart but it was too slow so I got my mom to fetch me instead. From there, the scene changed and I was already in KL with a lady I don't recognise. She was supposedly taking me to GH but we bumped into her friends on the way so I told her that it is okay and I can go to the hospital myself. But later, I lost my way and met these two man who offered me a lift but charged me RM7 for a short journey. When I entered the hospital, I tried locating David on my cellphone but my phonebook had more than one David! So I just picked one in random and dailled. But the lady on the other end told me that David's fast asleep at home! And before I knew it....the alarm clock went GRRIIIIIINNG!!! Oh PoooEy! Dr. Eow, my neurologist gave birth to a baby girl yesterday evening!!

Thanks Cheryl for the brilliant idea. I've made a little pop-up window for my past layouts. But I did not keep copies of layout 1 to 15. Wish I did, those sweet memories two years ago. There's also a new little pop-up for my brief profile, just incase if anyone wonders who Doey Chan is. Guess what. I found some articles by accident amongst my old diskettes while searching for something else. I was looking all over for these articles few months ago, I even asked Trey or Owen if they kept them. Now, it came to me when I don't need them anymore. *sigh*

I received an UNconditonal Offer from BSUC on Monday. WAS very happy at first until I realised that the admission is on September'03 instead of Sept'04 as requested. Wish I could go next month (the pre-sessional course starts in August) since I'm in deep trouble catching up with SPM. But then, I haven't done my laser surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Spent a few days thinking it over and over again... now I decide to reject the offer because health is more important. Then last night it strucked me that I've a second choice of career other than being a psychologist, that I will not tell until confirmed. :-)

How does new layout look? Notice that I removed the tag board? Well, with its presence, ppl stop commenting using the comment link. And I don't really like it, so I removed the thing. Now, it's faster to load too! Yesterday, Elena, Phoebe, Bing Chien and I played pool at Cafe 7. It was knda nice. Accept that I always loose. And I always loose when I'm merely winning. I wonder why... Being with Bing Chien feels like being with Tremayne. The both were so close in school that they adopted each other's character. :-D

D-DAY! Among the people around me are two particular friends who makes me sick. One is easily influenced by others(A), the other likes to influence others(B). A sits next to me in class all along and is particularly close to me in school. While B is not sitting with me but sits with A whenever I'm not around. When I was in the hospital, A and B sat together and in between B tries to brainwash A about another friend, C. A successfully convinced others that C is bad including A and being the naive one, she falls into the evil game. Soon later, C was desserted while A and B goes hand in hand. Until I returned to school and sat with A, rightfully, B had to shift elsewhere. But silly me was soooooo notoriously reckless that I allowed history to repeat. I suffer from constant back pain and weak stamina so I skipped school many times. So off and on, B sits with A. But God knows what went in between, A, B, C and myself had a HUGE 'debate' this morning and me being tired of all these controversies, I shifted from one end of the class to the other to sit with C instead. Since, among us, C clicks with me most. I didn't want A to feel bad so I let her know that the view of the whiteboard is better on the other side. I probably had just made B's dream come true. I find it so difficult to understand A. She does not have her own grounds, I find it extremely difficult to mix with her. When I talk to her, I'm accused of being bossy. Otherwise, I'm snobbish. A and B are like two pieces of jigsaw pizzle. They fit into each other perfectly. I really can't wait to enter college/univ. life. It sux here cuz I can hardly find anyone fitting to my mentality quo.

I dedicate this post to the Iranian Twins who are undergoing the separation surgery in Singapore. CheeRs!! Hope the surgery'd be successful. Seing a picture of the operation in progress in the papers give me the chill. Reminds me what I went through..

My mom told me about a weird incident that happened last year which she kept from me until today. It's about her finding of a jade bangle and pendant in my aunt's jewellery box which she remembered very well was emptied soon after my aunt's departure from this world. The box is kept in a utility box near my computer. The drawer was opened by itself which was what first caught my mom's attention. Like how she left it at first, beneath the box is a beautiful portrait of my aunt, which was used during her funeral. Weird, the only occupant of this house is my dad, mom and myself. And neither of us placed those in. And we have no idea who those stuffs belong to.

Urgh! Things are SO different now that I cannot give out that big cheesy smile of mine anymore. Alicia used to tell me that my smile's nice and warm. Sides, I've nothing nice to offer physically other than my smile. Now God decided to play a big trick on me. *sigh* Li Ann used to come pinching me on the cheek. Kenrick still does it but he just reminds me of the difference now and then. I've got a feeling that I'm always misunderstood for being grumpy, unhappy or simply stuck-up with this serious look of mine now. Oh well, I don't mean to be serious but I look odd if I try my best to smile. So to look odd, might as well not smile at all. Dear, when will my facial nerver recover? When concerned people ask how was the surgeries, without seing me in real, I often answer, "yes it is okay" but there usually is a long pause before I decide what to answer. Because neither of the surgeries were really "okay". After all, there are bound to be pros and cons in everything. Besides, I don't think they really mean to know when they ask that question. I was really tired today. I was supposed to go to the Kiwanis quarters with Elena after school yesterday but when I return home, I was shocked to find Li Ann and her pleasant surprise. So instead of the actual plan, Elena, Li Ann, Florence and I went for lunch and played, you know what, POOL!! These days, I often come home after dinner time and this bad habit should be stopped in no time! *chuckle* how many things have changed through the times that girls now no longer sit at home 24/7 like those in chinese history. HeHe! I once watched a 3 hour midnight movie at a cinema showing Shih Huang Ti first united the 7 nations to form China. I was very young then and not used to staying up late. Eventually, I fell asleep over such a boooriiiiing show. You know how polite were people back then during the first dynasty. Goodness Gracious!
