Fold Me Up and Tuck Me Away
Probably the second biggest heartache of all time.
I hope Sasha lives a better life I could provide her.
Just being away from her for a day brings me nothing but utter heartache. Funnily, she had some sort of baby smell. Maybe it's because of Johnson's baby lotion I used on myself and she got it rubbed against me. That baby smell is lingering my room.
I feel like dying.
Oh Lord, please ease these things up for everyone.
Amen.

Each Day Gets Better
Man, John Legend's Each Day Gets Better is a song about Ms Sasha and I.
Off on Sunday and Monday. W00tage and instead of boozing and get wasted the night before I spent time poring through The Pioneer Woman and played with Sasha. And woke up early on a beautiful Sunday morning to walk Sasha and spent half of the morning perfecting my pig trotters.
My trotters this time ain't pretty. The butcher didn't chunk them beautifully. Yuck. And they were too huge. And my pot's a bit too small. Nyeh.
Hopefully I'm not lazy to whip something else up tomorrow.
Have a great Sunday, guys.

Almost Loss of Sanity
Oh man oh man, when I finally decided to give it a last try to repair itself, it resuscitated. Praise the Lord.
It was quite a scare earlier. My laptop decided to go AWOL when I was about to give my second SS09 trend presentation of the day at work. My work pc doesn't have PowerPoint you see. I almost made a blunder as well; I almost swore NabehCCB aloud too. Right in front of my team. Thank god I realised and sensored the last three syllable morse code style which cracked the team up. And lately, my punk ass of a Visual Merchandiser has been teaching the fellow Pinay staff members the C*b** word and they have been going around saying 'C*b** la you' Singapore style. *Shakes head*
Anyway back to my laptop saga, I was in loss when it died. Not only that, Dell Support conveniently closes on weekends. Wow and the funniest thing is that recorded message on their 1800 number, it 'recommends' me to visit their website at support.ap.dell.com. NabehCCB. The machine is broken, how the hell one is supposed to access to the website...? I'm forever thankful that I was at work and I had White Boy with me and my workplace offers free wi-fi.
While on the way home, I seriously felt absolutely lost and I realise what I need to keep my sanity: internet, mobile phone and watch. Without these three things, I'm a goner. How about you?
Let's change the subject and talk about Ms Sasha Fierce. I tried to sleep on Sasha's hip and this is the face she gave me:
Also, Sasha's been made to interact with an Aussie red border collie boy, Jaden. Didn't turn out good so far. Sasha's too hyper and Jaden's too methodical. It's Hippie Girl and OCD Boy. Kinda bad combi. The first time they met, Sasha greeted him with such gusto that she scared him a bit. Not only that, Sasha's otter tail kept smacking his face when she's doing the butt-sniffing thing. That otter tail smacks hard I tell you (Sasha's just farted when I finished that. Stinks) and it hurts man. Jaden counterattacked by trying to herd her. Oh my god the situation was awkward ha-ha. Ms Sasha, like the owner, got pissed off being bossed around and things turned into a barking frenzy. *Sigh* But seriously, Sasha needs to be straighten out a bit for she knows not her boundaries.
She upchucked quite a bit last night. She's been eating rubbish and stuff-I-don't-wanna-know-about. A few puddles here and there in my room and somehow I missed one puddle which was right under my bed. How the hell she upchucked there I have no idea. No wonder my room smelled funky the whole night.
Sasha can be a girly girl as well. Did my nails last night and she got interested that she put her front paws on my lap.
She was miraculously still when I did her nails. Wow, if only she's still when I clean her ears, when I towel dry her and when I brush her. How not to fall in love with her, tell me.
And she's getting fat. Hur hur hur.
Ok, time to watch the last part of My Neighbour Totoro and poring through www.thepioneerwoman.com. I've been drowning myself with Ghibli cartoons. And the latter website is absolutely fascinating.
p.s. I'm jonesing for Thai Mango. Damnation.

Ambition is Not What Man Does But What Man Would Do
From July 24th til now.
My average pace plummeted. My kms slowed down. My frequency upped. It's still not too bad. At least there's consistency and I'm seeing results.
2kms to go to reach my first hundred on nike+. Yesh.
I'm being realistic and less tougher on myself this time around. But of course, I still aim for my first 10km on nike+.posted by Rae @ 20:47

Words As Sharp As a Knife
Never knew one could actually hurt me by saying that. It's been a few times painful words were carelessly expressed but I never took them to my heart. However this time they cut right through me heart.
SASHA IS NOT UGLY.
One reason Sasha doesn't look as good as the rest of the dogs is because of her hair loss due to scabies. Thinness of hair at eye area, ears, lower abs and legs is a classic case of scabies/mange but she's growing her fur back. I tried to forget that you said that. I really did. Usually, I could forget but this time, it's different. It especially hurts because those words came from you. You have no idea what she's been through and how she became like this.
I've wanted to tell you this but I'm never good at talking. I chose this way instead because this is only way I knew how.
ps - yes I realised there's a thingamajig in sight majestically in the last pic. XD

Rocking in the Kitchen
So I did manage to drag myself to the wet market and get the stuff I need to cook pig trotters. Got Ms. Sasha a bouquet of 'mums too. She seems to like it.
Without further ado...
Brown sugar, which I put too generously. Made the soup a tad bitter aftertaste. Damnation. Salvaging it by adding light soy sauce.
Black rice vinegar.
Ginger, 500g recommended by the auntie over at the market. Way too much!
The main stuff: pig trotter. One leg.
I got too excited, actually too lazy to follow instructions that I chucked the pig trotter in right after frying the ginger. The web recommended fry the ginger and then put black vinegar and water and let boil. Ah man. My grandma usually marinates the trotter first... so what the heck. It's all depends on the chef ain't it?
Hopefully it turns out yummy. It smells good so far.
Now, time for Ms. Sasha, who's been watching me rocking the kitchen, to take her bath.
Will update to tell ya how my trotter turns out.
Laters.
p.s. - Ms. Sasha Fierce wrecked Frank, my digital camera. Damnation.
UPDATE- My first attempt on pig trotter with black vinegar: success. Yums.

Doggone Pissed
I'm doggone pissed with Sasha's previous owner. The more I think about what he's said, the more fishy he was. Was trying to get Sasha's medical history from him but to no avail. Told me she was in heat in September but she had her period again a couple of days after I got her home. Claimed she was microchipped but none was detected when we were at the vet today. NabehCCB motherfucka of a pet owner.
Got a strong feeling this dude got her for breeding purpose.
Today was Sasha's day to the Vet. Hmm... she got pretty curious and anxious at the same time. There was a massive Lab waiting to be checked, probably 3 times her size... kinda gave me the 'oh-oh' feeling. Sasha's got her personal driver now by the way and his name is Lawrence. And he was very helpful and I would recommend to anyone who require a pet taxi. Thought the giant Lab was friendly so I let Ms Sasha sniff and socialise a bit but things got rowdy. Ms. Sasha got fierce that I had to pull her back. According to Lawrence, the giant Lab snarled at her first. Ah well.
Her ears were badly infected. Kinda my fault for dragging the vet visit too long. They couldn't trace any mites or demodex that cause scabies so that's quite a good news. A VERY good news actually. Overall, I didn't think it was a pleasant trip for her. When we got home, I cleaned her ears according to vet's instruction. She is now ignoring me, sleeping under the bed, not budging even when I was eating my chicken soup. Come on, Lab not reacting to food... that's almost impossible for untrained Labs like her. Ah well, perhaps she's just tired.
Moving on, I've been jonesing for pig trotters with black vinegar. I was rather disappointed that none was served at Chili Padi Peranakan Restaurant at Joo Chiat Place the other evening (by the way, the food was really nice, I felt like home...). Might whip it up tomorrow.

MIA
Ain't feeling what I'm supposed to feel.
Think I must have done something real bad past life because karma is so evident.
Crap.
Gonna take a break for awhile.
Sigh.
