hooked on apps

have been madly hooked on this app called, godfinger recently.
spending almost every spare waking minute on it, looking at my people making them build, harvest gold, rest and gorge themselves mad at the taverns. been consuming so much of me and my boyfriend, shawn, it's no doubt we're addicted. we spent our recent weekends in bed, fingers running wild on our iphones, chatting about godfinger. such awesome recreational activity between the two of us.

seems like i might be going on a break. preparing for school which is most likely to happen next year. (but if you know me, i always say that but end up at working instead. just hope this time i mean my words. lol)

planning on a year-end BBQ. or perhaps a short trip out of town. still indecisive.

nonetheless, happy halloween!

strictly, strictly pancakes

strictly pancakes! with much rants last week at my office desk that i'll check it out over the weekends, which i did check it out, and it was beyond good. it was splendid-ly awesome. the magical aroma of hot steamy pancakes with that lovely salted generous slap of butter on them. heavenly.

shawn had the potato leaking cheese, while i was craving for something sweet and had the berries pancakes. oh yea, it was hella good. everything was good. just that the iced tea was disappointing. who could have imagined ice tea, was a can of chilled seasons lemon tea. who cares about tea when there's such awesome pancakes right? oh well, 5 stars turned 4.5. i just wished for that effort in homemade iced tea. still good but could be better. shall try the chill brew coffee the next time i pay a visit. and this time i shall make it in time for breakfast, instead of dinner.

check it out if you haven't. located at princep street close to middle road. one of those shophouses. you can't miss the sign "strictly pancakes" and that delicious aroma drifting seeping out through those doors.

2nd homes

my family and i, we love animals. we love all animals. scaly. furry. furless. whatever.
but of all, we seem to love hamsters and rodents the most. why? because for the past decade we have been putting up rodents, mainly hamsters, in our homes. caring for them and showering them with love and endless affection. bringing them to vets to treat them. noticing their likes and dislikes. the things you do to ones you love.

we have been giving this little furries a 2nd home, because their evil masters have provided them with such half-ass love that is not worthy of ranting long mad stories about them. instead, should shed light on these miserable little furries' stories. our most recent addition to our family, is this poor little rodent cooped up in this little plastic tuber ware. mind you, not that huge fancy tuber ware which you can fit one whole watermelon it in. no, no such space luxury. instead it's those little round ones which you often see at salad bars serving your salad in. yes, that is how small this little hamster's home is. there is barely any recreational space. only sufficient space for it to sleep, eat, crap, and do very minute exercises. for an animal its stressful to be kept in such space confinement. for a hamster it's worse, as rodents have strong urges to run and spread their legs. on top of that, this poor little fella has been thrown around like a tennis ball on 2 separate occasions. this story, is simply one of the many my family and i have to share.

i urge everyone, all of you out that, to please keep a look out for such abuse. if you see such activity please report it to your loving animal welfare groups (please bear in mind to do some research on the local welfare groups, some welfare groups so not seem to welfare at all, instead put animals to sleep). or you could do your part, and rescue them, provide them with a foster home till a good home can be found.

as a pet owner, please invest time in your pet. think and feel for your pet. if you realized you've been a horrible pet owner, please for christ sake, help the poor fella seek a better home. give up pet ownership as a whole till you find yourself responsible and loving enough to house a pet.

a pet is a life. be it a stray. or a 2$ rodent you picked up from the pet store.
a life is a life. it has, and must be treated with utmost care and respect.
we should be providing for these pets and not be abusing or mistreating them.

to all the animals who have suffered, my hearts goes out to you.


love,
d.

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

my favorite.

this overwhelming feeling, makes me want to run out and stand under the big endless skies.

good days ends with great dinners

when you're slogging your ass off to pay bills and to live your life, once in awhile you odd to indulge in some self-pampering. and (most) self-pampering is best shared.

in a nutshell, it's my favorite cuisine, japanese. at my favorite place over at Chun Tin road, upper bt timah, New Garo. google them up if you haven't been there before.
