Initially, I was going for the SG$195 deal but apparently, when I got to the shop, it just sold out. Gah. Just my luck. So I dug out some more from my allowance and got this spankin’ awesome sleek black one:

My latest baby

I’ve been transferring my anime and manga over and can’t wait to download more since now I’ve got 320 gigabyte worth of space

Some random photos I forgot to post.

Our baby Shadow

I like this pose of hers

After formal MMPJ presentation:

My group: Kah Meng, Me and Duane

My goodness. I did not realise I am that short

Class DMMT 2B01:

Wei Sheng, Hendy, Faidhi, Duane, Yew Wen, Shurong, Timon, Joycelyn, Serafin, Yawen
Iskandar, Kah Meng, Ming Lei, Me, Dr. Tan, Dan Yao

I can’t believe that amidst all that’s going on, Nelly Furtado is my source of relief from all these… mess.

Anyway, Moonlight is buried in Jun Wei’s garden. We both know she will be somewhere happier. Hammy Heaven, I’m sure.

One of the things I hope to achieve this year in 2007 is to blog more regularly. So far, it’s not going as planned, I’m afraid. It seems like too many things have happened between the last post and this. Too many events, too many feelings. Too confused, lost and hurt. But, gah, I wish I could do something about… everything.

I watched Death Note 2: The Last Name on Wednesday night. It was a nice movie that I’ll probably only watch it once. I think I still prefer the manga better.

I love Absolut Vodka And the SPCT chalet from Wednesday to Friday sure provided me with Raspberri and Vanilla The thing is that I kinda mixed it with ice cream soda not to mention having Chivas with jasmine tea, I got a little too tipsy I got better in the end but not after vomiting, suffering chills and a splitting headache. Meeh. I wonder how everyone could put up with me

Dancing with Joan in the chalet was pretty fun But I hope Mervin won’t go around showing everyone the video he took. It’s really embarrassing I guess that’s where I first heard “Maneater” and “SexyBack” from Lex’s cellphone. Now these two songs are on my playlist.

Friday night was an overnight date with the 7ners plus boyfriends at Albert Court Hotel. It was quite a reunion as Pei Wen and Jun Wei were back from Australia (and since Up swore he would not go for another 7ners gathering till Jun Wei was back, he’s definitely glad the latter’s back) not to mention we have Qing Xiang and Zhao Ming joining us. Gosh, labelled new blood by the others

Elisia, Me, Perrine, Soffie sis
Jo, PK, CJ, Pwen

Perrine, chief organizer of the whole event, along with Elisia, CJ and Pwen had made the rest of us play some couple games which were really fun as well as it broke the ice among everyone. As long as there’s Up and alcohol in the same room, there will always be Up’s drinking game.

I believe no one can ever forget Pei Wen’s reply to the how-are-you? question:

“I’m fine, thank you.”

Due to the previous night’s post-drinking session as well as the fact that I was sneezing (almost) non-stop, I skipped this round

Lacking sleep since Wednesday, I could not stay up with the girls for a chat-and-gossip session. So I kind of nodded off around 4 in the morning as I wanted to go for training the next day. But I woke up with such a lousy leaky nose that I decided that I needed the rest more than the training session.

Sunday was a lousy day. Period.

I had a mock interview for a module on Monday so I had to borrow Jolene’s shirt since we were about the same size. When she found out I was going to wear a skirt (technically, there were shorts beneathe the skirt) she got so excited and demanded to see me in my formal attire I obliged her and here’s the picture Sue helped us take:

My interview went well. I guess it’s because I knew my lecturer and she is a rather timid person

After class, I met Jun Wei to watch Night at the Museum. Although it’s funny, it’s a pretty touching movie. I can even say if it was any less funny, I could just bawl in the theatre

Thank you for being there when I needed someone.

Less than 30 minutes into 2007, I lost my Motorola E398 (the 4th time I lost my main line). We (Jun Wei and I) got to Harbourfront MRT station just to find out that there are no more trains connecting to my home area.

Because of the Countdown party at VivoCity, God knows how many people were swarming the area, trying to get a cab. We had to walk a good distance away from the crowd before flagging a cab (not to mention we had to ‘snatch’ it from those who walked along) to get home.

I got home to find one of my babies very weak and barely able to stand without shaking. How my heart broke when she crawled unsteadily towards the carrot I gave her. I ended up holding her and feeding her the carrot.

I was exhausted but I did not want to sleep. I had this uncanny thought and fear that Moonlight would be gone once I wake up. It has happened to my previous hamsters before.

So I read Roswell fanfiction online to keep me up. By 7.30, I checked on Moonlight one more time before resting on the sofa near her tank.

I dozed a bit and was awakened by my sisters three hours later. The first thing they told me as I looked at them with sleepy eyes was “I think one of your hamsters is dead”.

The moment I heard that, I jumped out and looked into her tank.

She was gone. Just like that. Lying there in an odd position for a hamster beneathe the water bottle… My heart just broke.

She’s still there. I can’t bear to touch her. I can’t bear to throw her out. I just can’t bear the fact that she’s gone.

I’m sorry to all who reads a depressing entry for a new year. I can only wish everyone a half-hearted “Merry New Year”.
