Surgery Successful!

yesterday was d-day. chewy was brought to the vets for her spaying surgery. realised that the vet was the same one at the bedok south vet clinic. even the receptionist is the same. so odd. wonder do they rotate around the different clinics, or did they both join mt pleasant animal clinic together. i shall call the bedok vets to for dr audrey loi and see if she's there. so weird seeing them both again. dr loi even asked us, whether chewy was on heartworm prevention. if i didn't rem wrongly she was the vet that prescribed the heartworm tablet the other time... haha

it was raining cats and dogs and rats and hamsters and horses and rhinos last evening. had a very hard time trying to get a cab back from the vet's. 2 rejected me because of chewy (too bad for them, this goes into their books and they'll have to answer for it). the last one reluctantly let us in, guessing that our dog wasn't too well... she was very sedated, didn't move much because of she was under GA for the op.

finally got our asses home. fixed her up nicely in the kitchen, for the first time, we didn't have to worry about her tearing up the place, because she was so tired-looking. we went to church for baptism rehearsal from 8-10pm. long long rehearsal. went through every single step of the rite. it's going to be a long 3 hr mass on 15 apr...

then me wents to long bar to meet up with some old friends. had a cosmo and got chatted up by this canadian dork. sigh... which really cut short the evening, as we quickly got up to go because obviously this tourist didn't just want directions. sat on the bench and chatted even more... then finally got home to chewy at 1am. she was awake. looked a bit better (more leng cheng) and apparently ate some of food. so happy.

yeps, she's wearing that collar which prevents her from licking herself. and she keeps bumping into things because she's not aware of the size of the collar. but she's alive, eating well, and hopefully she'll be happier once the collar goes and she can run once more. i love chewy!

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...
