My first trip to Sailfish fishing at Rompin, East Malaysia

Lots of photos, but too lazy to post long-winded stories. Soo.... nah! here are the photos!!!!

New Member to the Work place

Let me introduce to you our newest member to my clinic's work force:

Mathieu the Maltese!

This little fella was rescued and now it's officially the clinic dog for the eastern branch. Just like the one at the west branch, I believe Mathieu's going to be a fine Supervisor, making sure that all the humans are doing their work and not eating snake.

Ain't it cute?

So for those visiting, look out for this little puppy at our clinic!

Inglorious Basterds...

The Inglorious Basterds; To those peepz who hates blood and gore.... please give this movie a miss. Watched this movie yesterday and dang, it was shocking! Should have known that a WWII movie can never be "non-violence" and I thought that this one is different after watching the trailer on TV. All they show on TV was the funny parts!!!! JEEZ!!! So went to watch this movie, thinking that it was a comedy. How stupid can I get.... -_-"

Then in the movie, I thought it was impossible for me to make it through chapter one!!! first chapter liao, all the blood and gore you can get.... *faint*

Not going to watch another WWII movie... so depressing... My Little Pony anyone?

Count My Blessings

I've decided.

I've decided to start counting my blessings everyday from now on instead of just getting annoyed by the things that ticks me off. Been getting so pissed with my daily unpleasant encounters that I am starting to become a old hag who had worked as a receptionist for several dozen years... Even tiny little things that was once overlooked and ignored by me starts to annoy the hell out of me!

Thus, to give myself a better quality of life, I shall start to count my blessings every day!!!

Here goes for today:

1. no annoying clients today.
2. had yummy chicken chop rice for lunch today
3. drank Goldroast brand 3-in-1 coffee, brought back good old memories from my time as an attachment student at Jurong Bird Park. Got to have a cup of Goldroast coffee before starting work at the Bird Show. Enjoyed my 5 months there; met many great friends and worked with beautiful birds.
4. enjoyed a short snooze during dinner break.
5. finished watching the anime "Vampire Knight". Great series!
6. met my poly lecturer at work. she used to teach me organic chemistry. Her dog came by to visit the vet at my clinic.
7. took a nice drive home via the longer way. really enjoy driving.
8. met a client whose son and husband attended the same primary school as me!
9. Had a great dinner of Mince Meat noodle at Bedok 85.
   
10. Sitting here in my own bedroom, typing out my blessings while enjoying the wonderful music on Class 95 and the darkness of the night.

Blessing count for today: 10

I'm happy. ( =^ .^ =)

It's a shitty affair.

Whenever a dogs comes in with diarrhea problem, a poo poo sample will usually be collected for checking under the microscope. thus i was given opportunities to actually look through the slide once in a while.

And I did so today.

Looking at the mashed up shit + water is pretty mind boggling. There are so much stuff in there that just sets you thinking...

And here are the thought that went through my mind for this particular one...

"Ooohh.... cellulose tissues, must be from the vege that the owner gave. or maybe the dog likes grass?"

in another field. "wah, got synthetic fibers. this dog is eating clothes ah? Maybe... since it a jack russell."

"eeek!!! bacterias everywhere! look at them swimming and spinning!!!"

"Oooh.... an amoeba..."

"I wonder got worm eggs or not...."

and many more...

So peepz, shit is very interesting. It's just like a box of chocolate, you'll never know what you'll get next, in this case, same shit different smell.

To be Tablet, or Not to be Tablet...

Prescribing antibiotics tablet to a client for a mid size dog, "please give 1.5 tab twice a day"

Client: "Aiyo... tablet ah... very hard to give this dog one... he damn smart, can smell the tablet one"

Me: "You can try crushing the tablet and feed with some wet food"

Client:" Still can smell one. got other kind or not?"

Me: "how about syrup form?"

Client:"OK can, syrup better."

So poor Angel go ask the vet for dosage

Me:"Ok, this one is the syrup version, you must feed 3cc twice a day."

Client: "har? twice a day ah... once a day can or not?"

Me:" no, that's not enough"

Client:"har.... 3cc... so much. got any other ways ah?

Me:"got... bring dog in for inj every day for 14 days."

Client:" wah! still need to bring in every day? Never mind, i'll take the tablet, tablet easier to feed."

Me: "......."

Someone please restraint me....

******

please note that the dosage has been changed as i can't remember the exact amount. =P

Sometimes you just don't know to laugh or to cry...

After the clinic closed, I began to carry out some accounting at the front desk. Comes along a client with a dog walking towards our clinic door. She pushed the door, but it refused to open... OF COURSE! Because the clinic is closed and the glass door is locked and chained!!!

I signal with my palm that we are already closed. Apparently, me acknowledging her presence was a extremely bad choice....

*client standing at the door looking at the 'CLOSED' sign. Knocks the glass door*

Client shouting through the door: "You guys are closed ah?"

Me: "Yes"

Client look at the 'CLOSED' sign again: "Really closed?"

Me: " Yes, since 4.30pm."

Client: "oh... what time you close?"

Me: " 4.30pm"

Client: " oh... so close at 4.30 ah?"

Me: "Yes"

Client, pointing at the chain on the door: " Really closed ah?"

Me: *faints*

At that point, I really don't know whether I should just laugh or cry....

Some humans are just amazing....

Earth Song by Micheal Jackson

Read the lyrics...

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth this weeping shore?

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth this weeping shore

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

Hey, what about yesterday (what about us)
What about the seas (what about us)
The heavens are falling down (what about us)
I can't even breathe (what about us)
What about Africans (what about us)
I ain't even you (what about us)
What about nature's worth (ooh ooh)
It's our planet's womb (ahat about us)

What about animals (what about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust (what about us)
What about elephants (what about us)
Have we lost their trust (what about us)
What about crying whales (what about us)
We're ravaging the seas (what about us)
What about forest trails (ooh ooh)
Burnt despite our pleas (what about us)

What about the holy land (what about it)
Torn apart by creed (what about us)
What about the common man (what about us)
Can't we set him free (what about us)
What about children dying (what about us)
Can't you hear them cry (what about us)
Where did we go wrong (ooh ooh)
Someone tell me why (what about us)

What about babies born (what about it)
What about the days (what about us)
What about all their joy (what about us)
What about the man (what about us)
What about the crying man (what about us)
What about Abraham (what about us)
What about death again (ooh ooh)
Do we give a damn

Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh
Aaaaaaaah Oooooooh

Rest in Peace

My Trip to KL

Recently went on another trip to KL to visit a friend there. So on the long way there, I had some fun with my sister’s camera, a Sony T77….

So far, it’s got pretty nice functions, example, the edit photo and also calendar view of the gallery. LOVE the macro functions too. the down side of this camera is that it feels very fragile, especially the touch screen. Machiam can get damaged easily. But overall, I’m pretty happy with this camera. too bad it’s not mine…

Below are some photos taken using the T77

Oh yar… I GOT TO DRINK A&W ROOT BEER FLOAT TOO!!!!!

Now.... I want my T900!!!!

Terror at clinic: Ear Mites from a Cat

This my friends, is a ear mite from a cat aka Otodectes. Click on it for a bigger picture! So this is what your cat might get if you don't take care of the cat's ears. More info, go read wikipedia here.

and here's a video!!!

testing a new program…

Using a new program called Windows Live Writer… So far so good.

meanwhile… enjoy the photo of ear mites!!!

Photos from P. Tioman Tiny Boat Fishing

As mentioned in the previous post, here are the photos from P. Tioman fishing!

Set off at around 1pm, got back at 7pm. Catch rates average. Boat? one tiny dingy which max can only accommodate 3 angler and 1 boatman. Can't complain much since it's a last minute booking. All the other fishing boat were already rented out as it's the school holidays.

While waiting for the boat to arrive, the local village cat decided to kaypo...





Getting bored, the cat became a way to kill boredom.... hahaha!!!





So on the boat on the way to the fishing spot.



Lucky that the wave that day not so big, if not, sure faint sia....


Here are the different catch.

No idea what fish is this, only remember seeing this in the wet market long time ago...

A small grouper. The poor thing suffered decompression from me yanking it out of the deep waters... It was released, but dunno made it back or not...

Here's the total catch, not bad for a fishing quick fix.


"NO KITTY! NO FISH FOR YOU!!"

Gave the catch to restaurant nearby and they grilled 4 for our dinner for free! Fantastically Yummy!!!


Looking forward to another trip to tioman, hopefully this time better planned on a larger fishing boat.

Check back on my blog for more photos of my fishing experiences!

Last but not least... I shall leave you with some photos of my pissed off cat in a frog prince hat!!!
WAHAHAHA!!!!

Many many things happened....

With this kind of extended working hours... i hardly have the time to actually stay at home and nua (slack), no need to mention about blog.

BUT! Today, I some how (miraculously)got the time to do so~! so here an update of what i've been doing (other than slogging at work)

1: Happy Prawning
Been actively prawning at East coast park recently. With close friends, talking cock and eating rubbish. Great place to hang out, nice ambiance and nice fat prawns. catch rates also good, but depends on the time of the day. I got photos to share too!

2: Happy fishing
Went on a fishing spree in Malaysia 2 weeks ago.
1 day at a palm plantation catching haruan.
1 day at pulau tioman catching coral fish from a little dingy boat. Lucky got bring sea sick pills. the tiny boat was rocking like mad!!! >_< caught baby grouper, wrasse, big mama puffer and 2 kinds of red fish which i yet to find the species.
and 1 day at a fresh water pond in KL for Pacu! Photos will have to be put up later.

3: Stupid car owners
SOME STUPID DRIVER LEFT A HUGE SCRATCH ON MY CAR'S LEFT FRONT BUMPER!!!!! KNS!!!! Many others also gave my car so many paint marks from their own car!!!! KAOZ....

Many a times, I contemplate about spending $1K to respray my little vios. But with cases like this, how? so angry. Many drivers on the road fair no better. especially those road hoggers on the 1st lane. GOT OUT OF THE 1ST LANE YOU TERRAPINS!!!

Hmph!

4: Working life...
still the same as ever... even longer hours.... sian. AND somehow stupid people just like to annoy me... shoo shoo, go away.

5: Camera
Have yet to get it. can't bare to part with that much money leh... sigh.... maybe when i win $1m dollar

6: Tiny notebook computer
Looking to get one so that i can bring it to work and slack more. wahahhaaa!!!

7: last but not least....
Planning for my next fishing trip!!!!



ok, got to start work liao... damn sian....

Still waiting to put my 'get-rich' plan into motion.

WHERE ALL THE MONEY GO?????

Time for a new Camera

And of course.... Being a fan of Sony products, the next camera will be....

*drum roll....*



(A deep breath....)
12.1 Mega Pixel T Series 4x Optical Zoom Cyber-shot DSC-T900/T!!!!!

And make it Brown for me!!!

But priced at S$ 679.00 from the website, getting one of this would be spending what's remaining of my one month savings....

Sigh... Why money don't just drop from the sky?

Maybe should put my "Get-rich-big-plan" in motion... *evil laughter*

Mini Prawning in Taiwan

If you think Prawning in Singapore is hard... Mini prawning in Taiwan is harder...



The rule here is to try to hook up the prawns (same kind of big head prawn you get in Prawning ponds here) with a treble hook on a line made of soft cotton thread that break easily... Jeez... the thread can just break upon touching the water loh... Really wonder how it is possible to catch the prawns sia....



But at S$1 per hook, I don't mind giving it a try... Looks fun and challenging!

I wonder what they do with the prawns they caught... Mmm... Prawn sashimi anyone?

Things are dying....

First was my slippers, then now is my watch....

My blue Fossil watch finally stopped working after 7-8 years being abused by me. You can see it from all the scratches gained throughout the years.

So bye bye old watch, You've been a great companion.



Now.... Say hello to the new black!!!



Shiny new Chronograph from Titus!
Hope this one can last as long as the fossil blue.

***
While taking photo of the watches.... That stupid cat....



Decided to claim the box, used for my close up shot, as his new place to sleep in....



'making himself comfy...'



"I PROCLAIMED THAT ALL THE BOXES IN THIS HOUSE ARE MINE!!!"

Angel: -_-""" Maybe I've brought back an alien...

Sigh.... My wallet of 3 years also giving way....

My slippers finally gave way

This pair of slippers of more than two years finally gave way today... May it rest in pieces... I mean peace... Now... Time to shop for a new pair! Yay!!!

Spidy Spotted at NUS!!!!

OMG!!! This is totally insane!!!! WAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!



Kuddos to the ones who came up with the idea!!!!

New Prawning Hang out!

Went to the newly opened East Coast Park Prawning Pond few nights ago. Catch rates not bad, even the newbies are bringing up shrimps one after another.

Got my fair share that night. 3 hours got me about close to 40 pieces of relatively good sized prawns. Not bad for a new prawning hang out.



There are also two more other ponds, one for marine prawns and the other marine fishes. Catches rates at the salt water prawns were not as good though, i only saw a few pieces brought up during my 3 hours stay there. The saltwater fish pond was under maintenance that night. They were filling up the pond with water straight from the beach side. Managed to get a glimpse of the variety of fishes inside, Grouper, snapper, sea bass, 1 giant trevelly and OCTOPUS!!! Yup, Octopus! Think got a few released inside, imagine getting one on your pole rod. Very interesting catches i might say.

I'm sure I'll be there again soon. MUAHAHAHAA!!!

Grilled Prawns? Mmmm... Yummy....

Ways to Irritate Your Cat: With a Prawn

Mercs wouldn't stop meowing when we came home with some live prawns from Sheng Siong. So for revenge, I gave the cat a prawn.

Now, it's stuck in the washing area, too scared to get pass the prawn lying in the way to the living room! hahaha!!!!

Here's is the video:
