Went for a hike with a couple of dogs (and owners) last Sunday and it was fun!

I would have loved to bring my dog if he was more of an outdoorsy type. But…nah…a shih tzu is just not suited for the jungle life. Tai tai maybe…

The phone I want is exclusive only to m1…and I have to be a starhub subscriber lor….

damnit. when did all this exclusiveness come about? M1 damn smart to do this kind of shit…now I am seriously considering dumping starhub and transferring to M1…all because of this exclusive gimmick.

This phone business is so competitive!

After waiting for months to find a suitable time, the not-so-newly married couple finally got their honeymoon in Japan. It was so sweet seeing the two of them just playing and having fun together…their journey to be together was an eventful one, but I guess that has made them even more determined to make it work and grow even stronger in marriage.

ain’t they a sweet couple!

Chin Hong is looking great…but but I don’t know what’s up with Alice with her Monster Inc ear muffs! *nearly fainted when I saw the damn ear muffs hahaha*

Christmas is coming…the season of shopping is here.

and I am sooo hoping that the telecos will come up with some good deals soon. Need to get a new hp…and I am eyeing this:

My hanphone was tucked inside my super oversized RP jacket while at work. Normally i tuck it into the back pocket of my jeans….but I was “hiao” that day and I wore a skirt instead. Bad move.

I went into the toilet and the phone slipped out and went *plonk*straight into the toilet bowl!!!!!!!
(thank god it was clean) I fished it out as fast as I could and before my eyes, the screen fizzed and blanked out. I dried it as best as I could, tore the phone apart, stuck the phone into the oven and turned on low heat to try and dry everything…

I baked it a couple of times over low heat but the damn phone still can’t be turned on!

moral of story-being hiao is no good.
