Get my life

Went to watch Secret with Vanessa and ShuXin today. It is a very nice movie. I knew the "secret" way before, coz my bro told me. But I didn't expect the "secret" to consist so much of the whole movie. I thought the secret would only be made known towards the ending. I think Secret is seriously much better than Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, coz I almost fell asleep when watching the latter. But anyway, I'll not go to the extend of watching it in the cinemas for a second time. I dun think there'll be a second time anyway, since it's no longer going to be showing anymore...

We were allocated seats 11, 12 and 13. But we sat on 13, 14 and 15, coz there was only a handful of people.

Just to mention, a boy seating behind us were crying. He came with another boy. Then when the movie ended and the lights were on, we saw an old man walking towards the theater exit. Hmmm... the Jay Chou film craze goes on in the old people's world also. No offense kaes...

Before the movie, we had lunch at Nebo. The food was very bad. Also, everything was served late late late. This resulted in us being late for the movie. Boo them.

The menu. Quite a variety lahs.

Had to take order ourselves. I took over the ordering job. Haha.

The best food there - Singapore Waffle with Chocolate ice-cream and maple syrup. Singapore waffle? You mean there are Malaysia Waffles? LOL.

One thing ought to be mentioned. Waffles should be considered as desserts, and not some appetizer or what. So it was kinda weird to be served the waffle before the main courses. I thought they're gonna skip through our main courses. Haha.

My (hard) Chicken Cutlet. The cutlet was so hard that my hands ached after cutting it. The fries were too salty. And according to Vanessa and ShuXin (coz I dun eat), the coleslaw was too creamy.

ShuXin's Fish Burger. Just wanna help her say out her suggestion here.

"If you want to eat fish burger, I'd recommend you to Mac."

Forgot to take photo of Vanessa's spaghetti, until she finished it, which was obviously too late. Then we went to shop around.

Bought 2 pairs of earrings.

Then ShuXin accompanied me to J8 to buy stuffs for XiaoBai. Anyway, should have gone to Pet Lovers Centre at Toa Payoh, since I've to go there to check my eyes. Ya... but everything was too late.

Bought Vitamin C supplement and Crispy Butterflies (toy to chew) for XiaoBai. Next time won't go to Pet Lovers Centre if not necessary le, coz discounts can only be valid upon $15 purchase. I remembered it wasn't like that before the change of member card.

Then went to check my eyes at Toa Payoh and bought many things in the end.

Bought lens and solution. Haiz... 90 plus dollars gone.

And not to forget, bought my favourite cookies from Famous Amos.

Lastly, Secret is a must watch. If not, you'll regret...

A Trip to the Vet

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Since the day when I first bathed XiaoBai, she became so-not-herself. Her hind legs seemed to be very weak. She will will lie down (she didn't do that before), with her legs stretched out. The stretching part made me feel that she doesn't want to put pressure on her legs as it may be painful. So although my exams were over, I still felt a bit stressed. These few days were a bit worse. Her that-part-where-shit-came-out-from had a lot of soft stool on it. The energy-less limbs and diarrhea made me determined to bring it to the vet today.

So, I went to the vet this morning. Luckily my mum said she'll accompany me there, coz I was still wondering if I'll cry there. Plus it was raining. I had to "cover" XiaoBai so that the rain dun get her. Took taxi there and fro, coz I was afraid that XiaoBai will suddenly whistle on the bus. And I was hoping XiaoBai dun whistle on the taxi also. Indeed, she never. I'm so pleased with her. Haha. But the vet said squealing is good. It'll be worrying if she doesn't. There were 2 veterinary surgery there. I chose the one with customers inside. The other one had no one inside, except for 2 nurses. Maybe the doctor was not as good? Oops. The vet I went had at least 9 nurses leh. Anyway, I had to fill up the particulars. The feeling was so weird. It was the first time writing "Pet's Name". Anyway, I regretted writing "XiaoBai", coz the person called the name twice. And I giggled twice. It was a bit embarrassing. I rather they call my name.

Outside the consulation room.

It was a bit scary inside the consultation room. There was this metal table (to put animals on it) and loads of bottles containing medicine, which gave out those "hospital" smell. They laid a towel and put XiaoBai on it. The vet gave her a check and said her legs had no problem. It's just that she's weak, plus she had diarrhea. And he said the bath was not the cause of it. It was merely coincidence. Then he gave XiaoBai a jet of vitamin C. I'm so proud of XiaoBai. She's so brave - only squealed a few squeals. But my tears almost flowed out. I'm so 心疼. The vet said to give her vitamin C supplements, fresh fruits and veggies, coz they can't generate vitamins themselves. Oh, you mean I do?

Bathed her when I got home to get rid of those soft stool still sticking on her.

Sitting on the towel.

I wrapped her in the towel to give her warmth.

She went under table herself. Maybe she's feeling a lil better?

She is lying, resting and sleeping now, all those worrying actions. But I just let her be, coz she needs plenty of rest after the injection and medicine.

I just fed her medicine. It smelt (not too clever to taste it) exactly like our medicine. Must jiayou kaes, XiaoBai? Dun make me worry so much for you...
