Life sweet life

It's been super busy and crazy lately, as things in my life is taking a turn, for better, or for worst, as yet to be seen.

I have been hibernating within my comfort zone for quite a little while now, and getting comfy-ier by the day. However, when things are meant to be, they're meant to be.

All I wanted, was to learn and grow, both as a teacher, and as a student. To take everyday in as life presents itself. Simply put, to enjoy being.

But some people just can't leave me alone. Some people who either believe that I'm really dumb just because I have been caring and giving, or that they're so wise that everybody else has to listen to them.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to allow anyone to shove their own idealogies into my life. Nobody, absolutely nobody, can have a say on what kind of yoga I should practice, except myself. And I really detest dishonest, manipulative people.

I'd rather step out of my comfort zone and do what I wanted to do.

It may be a bit radical and daring, but hey, at least I'm going to be true to myself.

And I always believed, that life has it all planned out for us.

So sit tight. Heaps of changes coming in the days to come!

Happy birthday Granny

Granny's bday today, and all the humans went out for dinner to do a little celebration....wonder why we can't tag along......but anyways, Mom came home a little tipsy and crashed in on the couch.

Shhhhhhh...let her rest....she's been quite tired lately, staying up late to do something that she calls, "the papers", whatever that means. I'll ask her to post my blog for me later, when she's awake.

I've been doing a bit of sniffin around tho, and Mom's breath smells of this.....


.....some yummy sweet crepe with pudding sauce....and a hint of chestnut....with an undertone of red wine.

Hmmmmm....wish I could be there.....

Sad...

I'm sad.

Sad and disappointed.

My loved ones using me then shoving me to the side.

Claiming that I took some things when I've never ever laid my hands on them.

Accusing me of over-spending on our new home-to-be when I haven't even started.

I mean, Hello, Mom and Dad, I'm your daughter too, so please give me a call every now and then and not only when you need a ride or an errand, pleeease.

And sorry, my dear Mother-in-Law, I don't have your family jewelry in my safety box and I can't shoot jewelry from my behind no matter how hard you pressed me.

And to my hubby, if you really want to save every penny then you should contribute your efforts into renovating the place. I mean, you'll save a huge load if you would measure, design, source, and even, do some of the reno works yourself. But, would you? If you're not even willing to deal with the reno guy, then how can you expect a woman like me to do everything without some professional help. Either you participate, or you'll have to contribute financially, it's just that simple. Things do not fall from the sky, you know.

I'm only a human being and I am not Ann-Almighty. I have feelings and limits too so please don't push my boundaries.

Doggie party...

...or doggie potty？

Got a call from my mom late last night (Jan 2) saying that both Latte and Mokka were having the runs. Mokka was better but Latte was getting it really hard, pooping blood and puking at the same time.

Sister took them to a doggie party the night before and they were given loads of snacks and human food.

Sister claimed that her friends' dogs were all doing fine.

But obviously not poor Latte, or Mokka. Especially not at midnight when most vet clinics were closed.

Dr. Yim was out for surgery, so we had to call around town to find an alternative, only to find out that another two more vets were also in surgery. We were lucky to have found a reputable vet available in the end and were able to take poor Latte in for his care.

Thanks so much, Cindy and Andy, for calling around for me - really appreciated it!

Thanks Sue, for accompanying my dad to the vet while I waited in the car.

And of course, thanks to Belle Belle, Jessica, and Lolita for keeping me company while I waited and snacked at the street stalls.

And sorry guys, for cutting dinner short!

And last but not the least, thanks to sister for calling to monitor our progress while she lounged out at home. Maybe next time you should clean up after your own poop, instead of giving lip service, you know. Having a sore throat is not an excuse for leaving the dogs to your 70 year old dad, especially at such an late hour. You're only a cab ride away from the vet's.

Oh and I almost forgot, your "other half" does have a car, doesn't he?

2010: Planet of the Apes

My resolution:

I will be a good ape.

I will be a strong ape.

I will be a flexible ape.

And, hopefully, I will be able to evolve back into an human before the end of the year.

What am I talking about? Well, been practicing alot (maybe too much) hip openers lately - so go figure!

And here I am, celebrating the last few moments of 2009 with hubby (as an Ape couple), at a lovely but unpacked Thai Restaurant.

Bye bye 09 - and hey you, 2010!

Happy New Year!!!
