Hello, my fellow muggers!

Joe, you're not the only one who is procrastinating. I too am finding every reason not to study. Most of my time is spent in front of the computer, playing with the smelly dogs, or sleeping.
Whenever I look at my textbook, I just don't want to read all those words or do all those tutorials that I never did during the semester.
Procrastinators unite!
Only a few more days; a few more long, tiring days......

All the best everyone!!! :D

i swear min's posts are too profound for me.

besides her, isn't anyone else going to GOO or GAA or AWW or (AWW OR??) OMG at my kitten? people! she is the cutest thing in the face of this planet and i would know because she is. haha ... i'm just being a very proud mom. Taiyou is doing very well. i don't have a weighing scale at home but it does look like she's gaining weight. and becoming very energetic, spunky, cheeky and playful. she just tumbles all over because she has this big roung tummy which kind of makes her like a humpty-dumpty-cannot-fall that type of ornament. just this morning, she rolled right into the litterbox! haha ... and i caught it on camera.

i could go on and on about her but i shouldn't. this should be about me. well, sort of.

i'm PROCRASTINATING! you kno how BAD that is? when my exams are in like 3 days?! totally insane. i will have to so pull up my pantyhose and get it straight and right this weekend that STUDY is the only thing i will DO other than sleeping, eating and feeding Taiyou (she's a good girl; she's no trouble at all) everybody "+oil" (apparently, that's how fiona encouraged me; i think the expression is so cute when translated into english symbols and letters)

later we shall discuss our After Party ... best of luck everyone. you won't see me here 'til next Tue if i'm lucky that i don't have a concussion after the first 2 exams.

sigh. love, jo

If I had to

I would put myself right beside you

So let me ask

Would you like that?

Would you like that?

And I don't mind

If you say this love is the last time

So now I'll ask

Do you like that?

Do you like that?

BREAKING BENJAMIN- THE DIARY OF JANE



Humans are curious creatures, they want independence, but they need everyone else. Can humans really be truly independent?

In every society, every group, every clique, there is politics, even in the most holiest of congregations. My mother thinks I speak like the devil when I say that. But am I really?

Am I the devil's child? Are my words wrong?

Whenever there are 2 or more poeple, there will be relationships. A vast array of networks. Everyone is selfish, they want to gain something- they will give it all to protect their interest. Whenever there is interest at stake, there is politics.

What about animals then? Where do they stand? Are we humans better than them?

Awake from the undeadly slumber

Back in black, I hit the sack,
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes I'm let loose from the noose,
That's kept me hangin' about
I been livin like a star 'cause it's gettin' me high,
Forget the hearse, 'cause I never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
abusing every one of them and running wild

'Cause I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack...
Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black!
AC/DC- BACK IN BLACK

Listening to this song right now...isn't it the most beautiful piece of poetry?

I had work this morning 7am-8am. I just came back from the hospital, went there to do a manual handling training (more like man handling) anyways, I'll be visiting my little God dottie tomorrow. Can't wait to see her! and you too Yang! Ah well, I've got about just under 2 hours befor my next shift starts...I don't usually do the arvo shift, I'm covering for someone else. I would be at Basketball right about now. Ah well...

When I was at the training this morning, it struck me, that I really enjoyed what i was doing and that I am actually quite good at what I do. I like the 'care' aspect of it, I mean, you care for others, sure you get paid, but you earn much more than that, you earn skill, you have hands-on experience, putting into use what God's has given to us (our bodies), and you know that the people you help appreciate what you're doing even though they don't show it or they don't thank you for it, or reply with rather challenging behaviours (bless thoes working in mental care).

Oh God! I can't rant on and on about it...I think y'all are better off if I shut me cakehole and let y'all get on with it.

Row your boat out to sea and when you get tired, get your little dingy facing the beach and wait for the waves to take you back in. It might take 5 mins or it might take 5 hours, Anyhow, you'll get there...Just be careful, don't get caught in a rip.

so, min's at uni. hmm ... i'm at uni too! what a coincidence. well, i wasn't sure if i told her i would be at uni on which days. it's just confusing right now. min, if you're readin this while you're at school, i might still be around. i came to see jon for the last time ... before the REAL mugging starts. you have no idea how hard i'm gonna have to cram for the exams. i so want a HD for both units so badly because well, it's TWO units only. if teryn, alisa, fiona and joyce can make it to D's on 3 units, it's utterly shameless if i can't get D's for TWO. savvy?

another thing to officially announce: congratulations to me on my (newborn) baby ... cat! i brought her home yesterday after work at the clinic as the vet said there was no reason why i couldn't. it was better for her anyway. she is SUCH a DARLING. she follows you everywhere with her tiny little paws going pudd-pudd-pudd on the carpet and she squeals like a ... well, girl! ouch, my ears hurt a couple of times. and she likes to cuddle and curl right at the crook of your neck and rub her face against yours. and she has no sex-discrimination towards mankind. she loves both guys and girls, and probably gays and all. everything! everyone!

aaah! it's the perfect time to use min's decription of Oh-My-God's. it's the only thing i can say about Taiyou. Oh My God, she's just ... Oh My God. she is so ... Oh My God. I love her.

on the other hand, my 3 y.o. boy isn't taking to Taiyou so well. Yang doesn't attack her. he just doesn't like her. for her. she is in the big rabbit cage in my study lounge and he absolutely REFUSES to enter that part of the house just because she's there. and i'm not abusing her freedom. i just don't want accidents to happen when i'm not looking. it's not that i don't trust Yang not to hurt her but i can't predict what he will or will not do. so i'm just keeping them separate safely for now.

so, er, yes, i'm a full-time mom and nanny. i have to watch the kids at home while cramming for exams. plus i have to mix the milk replacement formula every 4-6 hours when she cries out loud. but other than that, she's very good. when she's full, she just sleeps right through to the next meal. not without some cuddles first, of course. she loves cuddles and being cuddled and cuddling up to anyone.

Yang's just sulking in the room for 2 days now. i think he'll come around soon. he's just ... what you call ... "jealous". for now. but i still love him as much as before. i told him that. i don't think he believes. but it doesn't mean i should go spoiling him with snacks and treats to make up for it. that's just wrong.

anyway, without further ado, meet Taiyou

Photobucket
jon's her dad (he is VERY PROUD *beaming*) min is her godmother (very smart; no money involved ... haha) apparently. and she's got uncle calvin chong and uncle chris khoo to spoil her.
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
Well just pass him there
Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved...
BLACK SABBATH- IRON MAN

It seems as though no one's come on and written anything since me. Ah well... we're all busy with studying and mugging, almost going suicidal.
Before you say (think) anything, I was studying, if you don't believe me, ask Cal- he's my witness!

From observation and input from certain prominent individuals (heehee) I realise that we all have our different flavours. It is evident in this blog. In general terms, You can tell who wrote the entry without looking at the author's name. To illustrate, if you looked at Big Jo's entries, they are long (very long) and phrased beautifully with proper punctuations. If you looked at Nisha's, you would see the phrase- 'keep the faith' and the word, 'awesome'- sometimes in bold or even in a bigger font. These are just the two examples that I am putting into this nonsensical entry that I chose to write because I wanted to reward myself for getting through a significant amount of material (note: I did not use 'a lot').

Ah well, I'm still in Uni, I'd probably make the decision to go, in say 3,2,1 secs... wahaha

Until we meet meet again to display our linguistic capabilities- when we are floating in the clouds with the moon and stars as our company perhaps...

Until then, I will continue typing my lamentation and the computer will show its magic, translating what I have written into the ambigious and needless piece of garbage that you have taken your most valuable time to read.
