Post Op

Went to get Junior after his dental surgery yesterday ard 6.30pm cos my classes were cancelled and I was anxious to see my baby boy.

I went with Rina and the 3 kids to Toy r us to get swimming boards for the children then we went to the vet at Jalan Kayu.

The nurse carried junior out and he was awake and quite alert..... He was happy to see us but he couldn't control his bladder properly and he peed into the blanket that we brought to wrap him in. he couldn't open his mouth or bark or lick us but his tail was wagging. Nanny carried him but he wanted me to carry and fidgited ard towards me. So I carried him and he was quiet.

His whole mouth was swollen and so I asked for anti-swelling medication and was also given a spray to prevent tar tar build up in his mouth. Then he started whining. So I had to ask the doc if she could give us some pain killers as well. Initially the nurse didnt even bother asking the doc but I stopped the doc and asked her myself.....

Kenji came along to visit his sonny and junior was happy to see him..... daddy sayang and kissed his baby boy and junior was being manja....

After settling the total damage of $216.65, we left for bradel.

Junior didnt wan to rest so he walked around. He walked funny cos I think the effect of the GA still not faded totally yet. His hind legs will cave in when he stopped. He also kept whining periodically.

I fed him dinner and he was quite happy to finish his food. But I woke up at 2am to find him begging for food from D and jakes..... greedy boy.....

This morn he was the same old junior - he even licked me and kissed me...... :)

TEETH EXTRACTION

I couldn't sleep last nite. Cos I was anxious about Junior's surgery today. I woke up like every 1 or 2 hours..... partially due to my headache and my bad throat also, but it felt good to have the little warm ball of fur beside me....

This morn I went with Mummy, Jared, Damon & Ryan to the vet at Jalan Kayu at 9.30am to register him for dental scaling and microchipping. Junior was soooooo happy cos he tot he was going out - I swear the next time I call him to go out he wun wag his tail and come with me.....

He met a dalmation and a golden retriever and a maltese mixed. He was happily peeing ard the clinic when the doc called his name. His tail immediately fell between his legs and he kept crawling to me on the examination table.

The vet said that 2 of his milk teeth didnt fall out when he was young so they need to be extracted or else the tar tar on them will cause the permanent ones to rot...... So I had a choice to take them out or not. I called his daddy. I discussed with nanny. Nanny didnt wan to take out cos she said it would be painful. But I went ahead and asked for the extraction, I jus hope junior wun blame me cos if not taken out, the teeth will cause him more problems in future....

So they jus took junior away from me like tat...... to prepare him for surgery..... they going to put him to sleep and then do his scaling and extraction and micro chip. I feel so empty when I came back, no black furry ball coming to greet me and crawl up my legs telling me he's happy to see his mummy.....

I have to pick him at 7.30pm and he will be expected to be groggy and could be in pain...... sigh.....I already feel heart pain. And his daddy is not free to be there for his son...... so mummy gotta be here for him lor..... luckily nanny also here....

Actually I wanted to go home and let him rest but since nanny got some experience with cat surgery, I decided to let him stay at bradel so that nanny can watch him and take care of him..... I think Junior will be happy anywhere as long as mummy goes with him.....

Junior's new wife - JEWEL + Random posts

We wanted to adopt another puppy wife for junior so we went to SPCA to see if there are abandoned dogs, then we went to almost all of the dog farms at Pasir Ris. After 2 hours, we followed John to his place to see his new daughter - Jewel aka Monkey.....

And I think Junior is very fickle-minded cos he fell in love with Jewel. He was trying to snift her out the whole time...... and this jewel is very clumsy. She is sooooooo cute and soooooo small and she likes to go into drains (heehee)........ She responds when you call her and she is really a happy puppy......

She is only 1 mth 1 week old only...... and she is smaller than junior but we all expected her to grow bigger.....






Then I wanted mummy to do the smoky eye make up for me and this is wat she did -

I added the banana in my mouth for special effect....... dun I look like beaten by her????


Sunday & Monday Adventure

SUNDAY 26.08.07



Went to lunch with 2 of my sunday students after class. Went to have Hans at Novena and then Haagen Daaz there too..... yummy....







Brought Junior to watch Getai at Bukit Batok with my mum and my aunts...... heehee..... I think he was quite curious and amused with the crowd there and the loud sounds and the different languages that he didnt understand...... and of cos he was the centre of attention lor...... where got people bring "BLACK DOG" there one..... not scared he can see "good brothers" and bark at them ah????? Hahahaha.... junior didnt bark.... he was jus feeling hot in his bag so he crawled out and had fresh air and Kaypoh around.....

MONDAY 27.08.07

The whole devadason family brought Pa out for lunch at Muthu Curry and a walk and we decided to go for Upper Thomson Rd where the Pierce Reservior was...... and we had an agenda in mind - WE WAN TO FEED THE MONKEYS.... luckily junior didnt join us or else the monkeys might snatch him away thinking he's one of them.....

So armed with a french loaf and biscuits, we went to feed the monkeys....









Jakes and D actually dared to let the monkeys take food from their hands..... and I nearly caused a huge commotion when I dropped my phone and in my haste to pick it up, I startled a monkey and he nearly wanted to lunge forward and attack me and Ryan, but luckily he was not as brave la, so he ran back to the trees....

My Friday Adventure

FRIDAY 24.08.07


Nothing much in particular. Tot it would be an exciting day and full of drama but apparently, NO. So boring. Gave the old maid a huge surprise by bundling her up and sending her to the airport to send her back to her hometown in sri lanka but she didnt act in a drama like we predicted she would. So it is boring lor.....


But I sent tortilla back to the shop cos he was still squeaking. And true enough, the stopper was not hard enought o prevent tortilla from squeaking..... so we fitted in 2 stoppers and tortilla totally stopped squeaking..... YEAH....


Dun misunderstand.... This is NOT tortilla..... my tortilla is nice and black ok....

This is my tortilla undergoing major construction....... see poor tortilla.... it made my heart pain and caused a hole in my pocket....

And the children got bored.... so they sat on tortilla's wheels....

My Thursday Adventures

THURSDAY (23.08.07)

Last Thu, I went with Mummy, D, Jared, Damon, Ryan and John to St Gabriel's Primary for Jared'a balloting for Primary 1.

The votes are supposed to be put into the fish tank you see there in the centre.

I was quite worried that they wun announce the names of the children for the balloting. But they were very transparent. They read out every child's name who was participating in the balloting exercise and even showed the slip of balloting paper on the projector.

Then the anxiety started. The indian lady next to me had her child picked for a place so I asked her to go pick a ballot paper and told her to go pick Jared. AND SHE DID!!!! She picked Jared..... There were 35 people balloting for 21 places.... luckily Jared got in....

Jared got in with number 167, which was in 5th place.

My 2 handsome boys Ryan & Jared

And apparently, the children found tortilla very amusing to them cos they started to take photos with tortilla....



After sending them back home, I went KTV with Jess & cadrina..... Hougang K-box..... Sang till 1plus am....

Being self righteous

Adapted from Bar Advice.

Being self righteous

It is possible to be just a little self-righteous and therefore not cause much offense to anyone, people who are too self-righteous may:

Be quick to judge others
Belittle those around them
Be smug
Act condescending
Be narrow-minded
Be intolerant of other people’s faults
Believe that they have the answer for everyone else’s problems
And more...

Meanwhile, self righteous people often have a very hard time being empathetic. They only view the world through their own eyes, and cannot even fathom walking in someone else’s shoes. People who are too self righteous are also too sure of their own opinions. They will stick to them at any cost, and often refuse to hear opposing arguments. They will also never change their opinions based on new information they have received. They also hate to take people's advice.

What often drives excess self righteousness is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of losing control, fear of realizing you may have been wrong but if you release this fear to tap into your inner ability to let go of negative emotions, you will find that being more open-minded and less judgmental is actually freeing. The method to just shake off the fear and be at peace may also be helpful to your state and well being. To release the need to always be right can make you experience empathy and welcome the thoughts, ideas and opinions of those around you.

Bar advice. No one in the world is right all the time. You're only losing yourself in a world of denial. Anyway, who wants to be around someone like that. Think about it.

Healing Co-Dependent Relationships

Healing Co-Dependent Relationships

Relationship counsellors will tell you that the most common relationship dynamic they encounter is that of the co-dependent taker/caretaker.

Takers are people who tend to be self-centred, with an excessive need for attention and admiration. The taker attempts to control getting love, attention, approval or sex from others with anger, blame, violence, criticism, irritation, righteousness, neediness, invasive touch, invasive energy, incessant talking and/or emotional drama. In a relationship, takers operate from the belief that "you are responsible for my feelings of pain and joy. It is your job to make sure that I am okay".

Caretakers, conversely, operate from the belief that "I am responsible for your feelings. When I do it right, you will be happy and then I will receive the approval I need".Caretakers sacrifice their own needs and wants to take care of the needs and wants of others, even when others are capable of doing it themselves. Caretakers give to others from fear rather than love; in other words, they give to get.

Neither takers nor caretakers take responsibility for their own feelings and wellbeing. They often end up feeling angry, resentful, trapped, unappreciated, unseen, unloved, misunderstood, and/or unacknowledged. The problem is that takers and caretakers naturally find each other because of their need to feed on each others' weaknesses.

So if you're in a taker/caretaker relationship, what can you do to heal it?

Well, relationships heal when individuals heal. When each partner works on reducing their own selfish needs, their relationship system heals. When each person learns to take full personal responsibility for his or her own feelings of pain and joy, they stop pulling on each other and blaming each other. When each person learns to fill themselves with love and share that love with each other, instead of always trying to get love, the relationship heals.

Learning how to take responsibility for your own feelings is one of the essential ingredients in creating a healthy relationship. This means learning to be conscious of what you are feeling and being open to learning about what you are doing to create your own feelings, instead of being a victim and believing that others are causing your feelings. Your feelings come from how you treat yourself and others, from what you tell yourself and what you believe about yourself and others, rather than from others behaviour. Blaming others for your feelings will always lead to major relationship problems.

Why not start today by taking your eyes off your partner and putting them squarely on yourself? In reality, you are the only one you actually have control over. You are the only one you can change. Only when you change will the relationship get better.
