Good Morning Little Love! ♥

Woke up and the first thing I did was to check on my new rabbit!

She was lying down in the temporary box, fully stretched. 

Reached out and stroked her gently.. She moved!

Thank God, she's alive! YAYY! ♥ 

*Slowly heaved a sigh of relief* 

Didn't realise that I was holding my breathe!

Okay, I'm just too overly paranoid.. Heehee!

(I think I understand how parents feel now..)

Carried her and she hopped out of my hands to land on my bed!

I think she loves my bed already!

She's so so so cute! Feeling so blessed! ♥

Until now, I still can't believe she's MINE. Wow! 

Thank you thank you thank you God!

I really must thank the lady who backed out on her words and gave Thumper to someone else.

Thumper is really cute (but he looks a little sad and eh..grumpy?)..

..But mine even cuter! And she is in the exact color I wanted! Wow!

(I actually had to consider Thumper for a while because I didn't exactly get the He-is-The-One feel.

But when I saw my rabbit's photo, I knew I wanted her!)

---

Guess what? 

Rabbit has a name! And I shall let Steffi announce it.. 

Hello FLUFFY! ♥ 

Even at such a young age, Steffi is a lot more decisive and quick in decision making than me!

Her: Her name is Snowy!

Me: What? Anyway she's not white.. How can she be Snowy? 

Her: Then Fluffy!

Me: Why Fluffy?

Her: Because she's so fluffy! 

Me: Hmm.. Okay, Fluffy then!

She loves Fluffy already!

Despite being cut by Fluffy's (long) nails, she still carried her.

Caught her playing with Fluffy and saying to her, "Mummy loves you".. Aww~♥

Stacci likes Fluffy too but she's also scared of her.. Lol!

Oh well, Stacci's still young.. :)

---

The girls went back to their homes for lunch so it was just Fluffy and me again! 

Was packing my room and got a shocked when I didn't see Fluffy on my bed!

Panicked and searched frantically for a while before I finally caught sight of Fluffy..

Haha, how long has she been there, observing me??

Was super sleepy after lunch and dozed off after putting Fluffy back into her box.

When I woke up, she was still in her box.. Also sleeping! Haha!

I'm so looking forward to our lives together!

Like what I told Cookie when she just came to our house when she was only 2 months old..

 I shall repeat the same.. 

Someday.. Some years later, you will have to leave me.

And I will lament why time passed by so fast.. 

Even though it has been many years.

I will still love you then.. 

Probably more than how much I love you now.

I hope to cherish our time together while we can.

Parting will be sad when the time comes.. Inevitably. 

But before that moment comes, let's have loads of wonderful time together!

I love you, Fluffy! ♥

And I still love you, Cookie! ♥ 

More than when you first came into our house and our hearts.

Don't worry, having Fluffy won't make me love you any lesser!

The Destined (Little) One!

Warning: Contains many photos and videos!

You have been warned.. Okay, read on if you want! ;)

Some were surprised that I "suddenly" got a rabbit.

Well, I was surprised too! Even though I've been searching for ages!

How did it happen??

22 May 2015

Finding Rabbit

Well.. As usual, I was browsing through online advertisements AGAIN.. 

 Keywords for search: Holland lop adoption Singapore

Lost count of the times I'd done this.

Been disappointed for so many times until I wasn't even expecting anything.. :(

But then I SAW THIS!!

Wow wow wow!! Really??

I WANT!

Quickly msged the person, fearing that the rabbit has already been adopted..

She said someone has indicated interest..

Was kinda disappointed and thinking, "Not again.. SIGH."

And then she added that she will let me have the rabbit if I can confirm with her now! 

YESss!! ♥

Supposed to collect the rabbit from her on the following night (aka today).

(Felt so long!)

Before then, I kept wondering if there'll be any changes.

What if she changes her mind and gave it to someone else?

What if the rabbit is nothing like the photo in real life?

---

23 May 2015

Went to the Pet Lover's Centre to buy some basic necessities for the rabbit.

Didn't dare to buy so much in case I don't get the rabbit in the end!

(Too traumatized after the previous incident!)

Our 1st Meeting

Finally it was time to fetch my rabbit!

On my way with an empty carrier..

(Sooooooo excited!!!)

By then, I still didn't know what was the gender of the rabbit.

But based on my past experiences of raising rabbits, I guess it was a girl!

Was I right? Heehee! Read on to find out!

What's your guess?

Waiting waiting.. Will they really come??

THEY DID! Well, I was excited and happy.. 

But having pets myself, I understand that it's not easy to part with a pet (or pet's baby)..

And I kinda felt a tinge of sadness while the lady said goodbye to the rabbit.

At the moment, I felt I have another new reason to care for this little one.

If I were her, I would want the baby to go to a good home too!

And let's face the reality, we can't possibly keep all our pets' babies! :(

She's a very nice lady indeed!

Prepared some food to last for a couple of days just in case I haven't bought the food yet.

Also gave me a lot of advice and tips on caring for the rabbit!

Love At 1st Sight

At last! Hello Rabbit, nice to meet you! ♥

She's so cute.. I couldn't (actually, still can't) believe that she's mine!

But she also looked scared.. Makes me want to protect her even more.

And I will! :)

1st Challenge.. Not Allowed on the Bus! 

Previously checked online and someone said that Transit Link mentioned that pets are allowed on board. 

So SBS should be okay too right? 

NO.. Was asked to get down. 

Asked the lady via whatasapp and she said we need to be discreet.

Sigh. Why cannot? Even if pet is quiet (no sounds at all) and kept in a carrier at all times?

Hope to see improvements in this area.. (Elections coming eh? Take note please.. Haha!)

Finally reached home and it was time for.. 

1st Meeting between Cookie & Rabbit

Seriously I think Cookie thinks that's her baby.. Haha!

Cookie was overly excited until I didn't dare to let them get nearer..

Worried that the new rabbit would feel too stressed!

Put the rabbit in the temporary 'room' first.. 

So sorry, I will get you a nice cage soon!

Was so relieved when the rabbit finally started eating! Phew!

Was glad to see that the rabbit was lying in this manner which symbolizes "I'm happy".

Goodnight Rabbit! :)

Is it a Girl or Boy?

And the answer is.. Girl! 

So did you guess it correctly? Heehee!

(Updated: Opps, Fluffy turned out to be a BOY! :O)

Belated Birthday Celebration for Shuqi

Finally met up with my dearest Animal Buddies again after so long!!

Had dinner at Morganfield's (Suntec)!

Nice ambience (with delightful aroma that made us hungrier than we already were!)

At last.. Food was served!!

Whoa! 

Our Appetizer ♥

Chilli Cheese Fries French Fries baked with cheese & topped with pork bacon bits. 

Served with Chilli Concarne.

So yummy! Definitely a must-try for fries lovers! 

(I must bring Orlene the Fries Monster here to try this too!)

The Main Dishes ♥♥

Hickory BBQ Spare Ribs

Garlic BBQ Spare Ribs

Best pork ribs that I've ever eaten! 

Meat was so tender and the bones were so easily separated from the meat.. 

We didn't even have to cut, we merely pulled out the bones.. Splendid!

(Extracted from my Snapchat.)

As usual, Chun Cheung will always cut the food for us. So gentlemanly right?

(Don't say I never praise you ah! Haha!)

Seriously I feel so blessed and pampered because both of them always take care of me whenever we are together! :)

Dessert ♥

Lava Cake

(Extracted from my Snapchat as well.. Haha!)

LOL-ed at their conversation!

So.. Does the lava cake look more tempting now? Muahaha!

I know I've said this many times but indeed, I feel so blessed to have this 2 animal buddies!

Knowing them is definitely one of the best things I ever did in my whole life!

Love them so much!

A nice dream

Well, I finally dreamed of him. A little. But it was kinda vague so I don't think it's a visitation dream.
But it does make me feel better now. 

Can't remember the details. 

Only remember that I felt sad.

He was around somewhere but keeping his distance. 

Not complaining about that because my beloved Mocha darling was right before my eyes! 

In my dream, I was hugging her and stroking her constantly.

I miss you so much, sweet girl.. :')

Are you still waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge?

Somehow I got the feeling that he brought her here to comfort me because he knows I've been sad.

Maybe it's just my auto healing mechanism at work.

But if it's really you.. Thank you. :)

Review: Palmer’s Spray Lotion for Stretch Marks

Well, I knew that I had stretch marks. They didn't bother me that much, probably because they were created because I SLIMMED DOWN! Haha! (I was.. uh, a little 'meaty' when I was a small kid.. Opps!)

So ya, I soon forgot about them and since it was so long ago, I happily assumed that they had disappeared on their own. Which is also why, I never even take a 2nd look at any stretch marks related products because I always thought that these are meant for pregnant ladies or those who had given birth. I don't need them lah.. (Ya right!) 

 The other day I came across this product: Palmer’s Spray Lotion for Stretch Marks. Almost wanted to give it a miss since it's "not" meant for people like me. However, I had good experience with Palmer's product previously.. Why not? Besides, Salmiah (my colleague) is pregnant now. If this product is good, I can recommend it to her!

---

But I still gotta test the product before I can recommend to anyone right?

Before that.. I need to know: DO I REALLY NEED THIS?

6 Things You Need to Know About Stretch Marks!

Not saying this simply because this is a sponsored ad.. But this video really contains some good info about stretch marks! The title stated "6 things you need to know about stretch marks".. I think there are more than just 6 though!

So.. Myth or Fact?

If you are curious about these like I was, you should watch the video to find out the answers!

Not gonna reveal the answers to you here.. Nay nay ni boo boo~ Heehee!

But seriously.. After watching it, I realized.. Maybe I do need this after all!

The Product

Tada! ;)

Before Use

What I love about the product:

COCOA BUTTER & SHEA BUTTER! ♥♥

Basically I love ANY skincare product with cocoa butter and shea butter ever since I first experienced their goodness several years ago. Love at 1st use! Can't go wrong with those, I guess!

It's a spray lotion! ♥

I am rather lazy so I love products that do not require me to wash my hands later! Haha! Plus the fact that all the goodness will reach my skin thoroughly, and not be stuck to my hands instead! AND application is so easy, just spray!

Against Animal Testing! ♥♥♥

Need I say more?

Cap is lockable! ♥

Have you guys encountered accidents when you unintentionally pressed the cap and created a lot of wastage and not to mention, mess?! Or when little kids managed to lay their cute little hands on your products and.. Well, they had a lot of fun.. And you gotta clean up the mess afterwards. *Laughs* Speaking from experience..

Another thing I like about this feature is.. It's dummy-proof! Haha! Was wondering which side is lock and which side is unlock.. And then my question was answered, thanks to the little logos at the side of the cap!

Using the Product

Totally loving:
♥ The cooling sensation on my skin!

♥ The convenience and ease of using it!
♥ THE RESULTS!

Got a surprise when I compared the before and after photos!

But well, the realization was nothing as compared to the shock of seeing a photo of my stretch marks up close! What?! I didn't realize that my stretch marks were THAT bad!

See!

(Still feeling somewhat amazed everything I look at this..)

Skin appeared darker in the photo after application but that's actually because the lotion was not fully absorbed yet.

But even so, the stretch marks looked less obvious already.. Right!!
Wow! Honestly, I know how stubborn stretch marks are.. So I wasn't expecting any visible results.. At least not after the first usage.. Right? But I was proven wrong! Hoho!

In addition, the lotion felt quite moisturizing. I can't decide whether it's light or fast-absorbing.. But whatever it is, it felt as if I didn't apply anything because it didn't feel greasy at all!

Happy Birthday Orlene!!

Planned a surprise for her by secretly ordered DOMINO PIZZA!!

Wanted to customize my order but there was no option to add my special request to our order in their website. 

Had to call them up instead!

But alas, they couldn't help much but at least they tried to assist! And they delivered the pizza to us in less than 30 minutes! Whoa, so fast! THANK YOU DOMINO PIZZA!

The special request that I made.. Tada!

Message written on the box: Happy Bday Orlene

---

At the first instance, Orlene was wondering if the pizza delivery was for her birthday.. But being mischievous (as always), we lied that it was for our client's event! Haha! Then she saw the message on the box and said, "No, it's for me! My name is written there!" 

Birthday Girl (aka Pizza Monster) and her beloved pizzas~~

We were singing the birthday song while she couldn't stop staring at her beloved pizza!

Jokingly teased her, "Who cares about birthday song when there are pizzas.. That's what you were thinking right!!" Haha! She could still giggle and nod her head some more! See, I know her so well.. Heehee!

This silly girl later told me that she was also very touched until she shed one tear! Haha!

But that's what we like about her.. So innocent and sincere. (Although she's not as nice when it comes to food.. Opps! She loves food more.. >.<)

I'm glad I planned this little surprise for her! It didn't take me much effort or money and yet it meant so much to her. 

She was telling me that it's the first time she is away from home on her actual birthday and she was feeling quite blue. The surprise really cheered her up!

Great! :)

---

Later she insisted on treating me back.. 

And what? Movies too!? And popcorn!?

Movie was awesome! We both enjoyed the show! 

---

Feeling so thankful to her for treating me to dinner, movies and popcorn! 

And of course, her company too! I guess I need to do some leisure stuff instead of emo-ing at home.

Felt so paiseh because it's her birthday and she ended up spending more money on me instead!

But nevermind, I will just return the favour by planning something special for.. 

HER UPCOMING WEDDING!

So happy for her although we are not surprised at all.. Haha! Aiya, she and her bf are super stable.. As good as married already lor! The only thing missing is the marriage cert, that's all.

Only about half year away!! I need ideas! 

---

Good to have some things worth rejoicing about.. :)

Conflicting Thoughts

Woes of a Libra, I guess? Over-think too much and to make it worse, my thoughts are so conflicting and ever-changing.

Seriously, what are my real thoughts? Even I myself is confused..

It's better that he passed on peacefully.

Why did he have to go? I don't want him to go!

I don't love him anymore.

But yet the things that I am still willing to do for him..

I don't care about him anymore. (Plus loads of similar I-don't-care remarks.)

*Keep listening to The Songs and tearing.* 
*Keep thinking of him.* 
*Keep posting stuff about him.* 
*Keep feeling upset when his "friends" seem unaffected about his death.* 
*Keep replaying the videos just to hear his voice.* 
*Keep denying that he's already gone.* 
*Keep expecting to see his spirit somewhere or in my dreams.* 
*Keep getting disappointed when I don't see him.* 
*Keep waiting for his last words to me.. Directly from him and not from his mum or Alicia.* 
*Keep blaming him for leaving and expecting him to come and argue back with me.. Like he used to.* 
*Keep thinking about all the what-ifs and if-onlys.*

Even I wanna tell myself this.. Siao ah! Snap out of it leh!

How long do I want to stay this way??

Life goes on. Time to keep moving..

Separations are always so hard to get over.. Especially when we don't know when we will ever meet again.
