Milo's first Visit to the Vet!
Yesterday evening Josh and me took Milo to the vet to get his vaccinations and whatnot. This was his first time.. now I know how a mother feels.. oh my gosh.. before I continue I know my mother is probably reading this and scoffing loudly.. a kitten can never be a child.. but.. Milo.. is kinda my kid.. I’m responsible for his upbringing (is he gonna be a sociable and affectionate cat or a reclusive crazy psycho cat that never lets anyone handle him? is he gonna be a toilet trained cat or is he going to pee and poo all over the place? Will he let anyone pick him up or scratch/bite at first touch?) I am also responsible for him financially… which… is burning a hole in my pocket.. damnit…. what with the desexing and the vaccinations.. though I didn’t ask for him, but neither will I give him up for the world nor shirk away from this responsibility, because he is mine!! And I love him!! haha

Let me start from the beginning..

Josh rocked up at 6.15pm (Milo’s appt was at 6.30pm). To make matters worse, Milo seemed to know that I was trying to catch him and put him in a box! So, especially since its his first time out of the house since he’s arrived.. as we were trying to shove him in the car he suddenly broke loose and ran across the road onto the neighbour’s front porch. (Okay at this time imagine me panicking (what if a car ran over my baby!?!!) and chasing Milo across the street) haha I think Josh was laughing in his head but he had the good sense not to say anything till later). Finally Milo kinda stopped at the neighbour’s porch and just looked at me pathetically and started meowing. So I was able to pick him up and put him in the backseat, of which he promptly crawled under the carseat and stayed there the entire time just looking at me with those puss-in-boots eyes.. like I was doing this to him.. I couldn’t even dislodge him because he dug into the mats.

When we got to the vet, I didn’t even need the box, I just held him in my arms, like how u hold a baby upright, and then when we were waiting, he kinda just lay in my arms like a sleeping baby, and he wouldn’t let go of me. He was so brave, even though there were dogs around.. he’d just like.. look at me like I would protect him..

He now weighs.. 0.998 kg!! haha yay!! Almost double his weight (he weighed 500 grams when Joy first got him) haha. But he’s still little at 8 weeks old..that means he was born on then 2nd week of Dec 07 !! have to throw him a party!! Haha.

Anyway, when he was put on the vet table, he kept on trying to get back to me.. he kept trying to get into my arms.. I was like.. Awwwwww!!!! U seriously should have been there.. he was so cute!!

So you ask.. what did he get?!
He got a thermometer stuck up his bum.. twice.. cos both the vet and the nurse took his temperature.. and he yowled and was so freaked out and scared. Also, he got an injection for vaccinations. When the needle came out I was like.. OMG.. is it gonna hurt!!?!!! AND, he got force fed a pill for de-worming.

Then after, he would not let go of me, and Josh had to hold him for abit whilst I paid for the whole thing.. then for the ride home he found his “Happy Place) inbetween my neck and the headrest, and he stayed there the entire ride just crouched there. Was like a pillow on my head!! Hahaha except I couldn’t move..

But I think he was traumatised and freaked out, though he seems happier when he got home.. last night he just crouched under my bed and wouldn’t come out (he normally sleeps at the foot of my bed, or snuggles next to me. Lets hope he gets over it, cos in 3 weeks we have to do all this over again…..

Happy Australia Day!!!
Today's a public holiday, but i still woke up at 7.45am.. tried sleeping more, but just.. couldnt. So rolled out of bed at 8.25am and switched on the computer.

Friday was good; the bible study at Lauren's place and dinner with the girls turned out to be so much fun! It was all about time management, and prioritising etc, and how u cant be the 1 minute christian. Then I got home, and Josh came over.

Guess its been a tough week for the both of us.. mentally and physically.

Saturday was good, had the leaders training day with the whole church. Was supposed to be an all-day event, but Josh and I left early to go to music practice, and it was soo great!! Then after, we went to play tennis!! And we went to Yvette's party for abit, then watched a movie at home and just.. chilled.

Sunday I woke up at 6.30, got ready, then just when I was about to leave, i had a tummy ached.. was so pissed off.. haha dont u just hate it when that happens?!!! So we rocked up at 8am, instead of 7.45am.. but thats okay..

Thank You GOd for bringing me through that session. THank you for Uncle Melvin who constantly gives me feedback on how the session went, and where my faults lie, and what I should have done instead of.. I really, appreciate those sessions because I know I can improve off them. I just need to write down and plan what I want to say.. instead of just stammering and stuttering.. though ive been doing this for like a year or so, i STILL get heaps nervous when i get up there.

After church, I went to the city to get a pair of sunnies.. was gonna get a branded expensive pair, but after much contemplation, I figured that since I was just gonna use them for sport (ie jogging/playing tennis), there wasnt much point in paying like 200 bucks for a pair, unless I used them to go out and show them off.

THen, we went to play..you guessed it!! TENNIS!! HAH! I still suck, but i like playing! haha. After, we all went to Alicia's house to WATCH the tennis.. DAMN TSONGA lost.. i was going for him.. Was like the best match ever.. haha maybe when im in singapore i can organise pple to come over and watch the game!! :) But it was seriously fantastic!! For over like 3 hours...

By the time we got to the car it was like 10.30pm.. by this time i was absolutely buggered.. like.. im not kidding. I missed a step and fell down whilst opening the car, and i just started.. tearing up.. cos i wanted to go home and chill so badly.. It wasnt that bad just my knee is bruised, but I just felt.. tired. My whole body was so stiff and rigid (because of the air conditioning in the house, and cos I havent exercised so much for a long time).. and it hurt to even stand up (I was lying on the couch all curled up).

Josh sent me home and he even stayed to watch friends with me, DESPITE telling me earlier on in the day that he was sick of driving to my place. LOL. Then I made myself a cup of instant hot chocolate (was gonna make tea but i didnt have milk) and felt better...

Today Im having a bbq at my place! for my friendS!!! well.. i dont seriously know who is rocking up, but if you happen to read this, im having a bbq on Australia Day!!!! at my place around 5ish, BYO meat/drinks. I reckon Milo's gonna get traumatised again (cos of Jerry) but oh well!!! And hopefully someone will bring their cricket stumps and stuff so we can play street cricket..? haha.

God I know you put me here for a reason, and I know I have to get off my lazy ass and be more sociable, instead of shutting myself up in my house (last year) and feeling sorry for myself..

This week has been a busy one for me and Milo!! (Well, just for me – Poor Milo has a vet appointment next week.. awww.. and afew more to get desexed… poor little guy..) but oh well guess it has to be done!!  and OMG I actually haven’t had the time to watch my darling Gray’s Anatomy.. NOOoo hahaha

FIRSTLY, GOOD LUCK TO SAMANTHA KOH WEI-FANG.. my sister (Unbelievably, by blood HAHA JUST KIDDING). haha I just wanna wish you all the best for your Os.. right now u must be sweating bullets and have armpit sweat patches.. anyway! I believe in you, love you and am praying for you. LOVE YA HEAPS SIS!!

OKAY.. This is just a snapshot of my week.. 

MONDAY
The opening night of Big Week Out. After work, Josh picked me up, and we went to the opening night cos Josh had to play the guitar. Was cool, the talk given was good.. all about not missing a single opportunity in your life.. wont elaborate more, but it was pretty cool seeing the younger generation (Grippers) serve…

TUESDAY
Woke up early at the crack of dawn (yes I literally mean that).. at 6am (CLAP CLAP CLAP LOUD APPLAUSE!!) to have a brekkie date with Jane Norman, one of my girls that has moved away to Canberra for Uni. She was flying back that afternoon, and all other times were booked up! So!! I picked her up at 7 before work, and we went to Maccas. It was so good catching up with Jane, I haven’t spoke to her in like 2-3 years! Though it was a short catch up (I had to drop her back home at 8 cos I had to get to work) it was so worth paying the price of getting up early. So worth the cost.

God please don’t let me miss any other opportunities like that for catching up with friends.. please God don’t let me be lazy and complacent and miss all these great times.. Open my eyes and wake me up to my world around me. WAKE ME UP!!

After work, got home and tidied up the house. Then at 8.30pm, Alicia and Sam, Josh and Joash came over to play with Milo!!  I love how Milo forces me to be social.. haha but it was awesome, got to spend some time with Alicia and Sam. Afterwhich, we all went for Sam and Josh’s basketball game at 9.45pm, and met up with other people that came to watch the game.. Lauren, Gayle, Becky, Daniel, Jess, Greg.. the usual crowd. By the time I got home at 11pmish I was absolutely buggered.. Tim and Becky came over for awhile, mainly because he had to get the guitar for BWO which was at my place.. so they played with Milo too!

I am eternally grateful.. Thank you.

WEDNESDAY
After work, I went immediately to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre in the city to meet Janine for a Sauna/Spa/Steam catch up, followed by dinner at Café Primo at North Adelaide. Catching up with Janine was awesome. We hadn’t caught up in ages like 4-5 months I think? So we had heaps to talk about. Okay I know I may sound very old, but I guess its beautiful to see my cell group of girls – Janine, Jane, Bel, Jen maturing.. haha I mean its nice to catch up and realise how different their answers to questions and their life perspectives have changed from when they were 16 and still at school (Now they are all in Uni).. haha I guess people would view me the same way I guess.. haha

So that’s kinda all that went down this week, tonight, there’s a touch footy game on at 6!!  cant wait for that!! Tomorrow night im going to a girl’s night dinner with Alicia, Lauren and afew more others.. will update later on!!

She's Gone... :(
On Saturday 19th January 2008, my grandma flew back to Singapore. I sent her to the airport that afternoon... I hate sending pple off to the airport..

In the moments when I got back home by myself.. inbetween getting ready for the BBQ for Back up singers/worship leaders at my place...
I open the door, fling my bag onto the sofa..

"HI Ma!!"
No response..
"Hi Honey!!"
No response..
Then..
"Meooowwww..."

My heart melted. I am so in love with Milo. Now there's someone to keep me company when Im watching TV by myself.. There's someone that jumps onto my face when I fall asleep watching, and then watch me go crazy screaming.. There's gonna always be someone there, someone that needs me as much as i need him..

Umm..And you.. thank you for just being there when i needed someone to talk to. Thanks alot :) Sorry that i woke u up, actually im not at all sorry.. haha.

Oh then after, I went to Coles to get stuff for the BBQ. THank GOd that people actually rocked up. About 30 pple came, I was actually amazed that i was able to stuff them all into the house!! And some brought their kids ranging from 3years to 9 years.. I thought they were gonna be bored, but they amused themselves with trashing my bedroom, playing hide and seek around the house, and finding little "treasures" in my back yard.. like a bird's empty egg shell.. :) They were seriously cute.. AMd!! Milo was a big hit!! Amond kids, and adults!! At one point his head was held by one child, while his rear end by another.. and shouts of "GIMME!" and "ITS MY TURN NOW!" were heard.. but we shall not go there, he'll get over it! WHatever doesnt kill him will make him stronger..

And I was able to catch up with people that I do ministry with, and actually got a chance to get to know them abit better.. and just chill out with them :) I also felt heaps at home (not cos I am actually home), but I realised that people do love me, and they do think of me as, well, a church family. :) I am so thankful that they came, and some gave me nice presents too!! :) Thank you so much (to those that read my blog).. And!! Thanks for bringing a dish, like uncooked meat, or a salad or a soft drink.. :) Appreciate it.. there was tons of food :)

So!! After a greased up BBQ, a very smoky backyard and a smoke-filled house, not to mention a trashed bedroom, and a very traumatised Milo later, Josh and I just sat there looking at the mess, and laughing about it! :) We cleaned it all up. (Josh was like "DEB I CANT STAND IT I GOTTA VACUUM". hahaha. Which was fine by me :) I would not have traded this time for anything in the world.. because this is one of the first times that i have felt truly at home, and like a family with my church people in Adelaide. :)

Today was good, Ben came over for awhile to chill and play with MIlo. Then, we headed down to play tennis with some of the church kids.. :) Man i had not exercised in ages (a full month!), and my right hand is actually killing me..because of my tennis racket and my fingers are shaky.. dont know how I am going to lift a pen tomorrow. But this is a good kick start to my fitness regime :)

This coming week I am so busy its not funny!! :) But!! I will blog! I WILL BLOG! and i will EXERCISE!! LOTS!! haha. Alrighty, gotta go to work tomorrow, then go for the Big Week OUt starting service which starts tomorrow night at 7pmish. :)
i love being busy.. :0)

Back to Work!! haha
Oh no.. my vacation is coming to an end... Ok this is the part where all of you say "Huh? Didnt it end when you came back?" No.. the truth is, its gonna end this Saturday, when my grandma goes back to Singapore.

No one to clean my house for me..
No one to cook for me..
No one to wake me up..
No one to make Milo (the drink) for me in the morning..
No one to feed Milo (the cat) for me..
No one to feed me my vitamins in the morning..
No one (person not cat) to just be there when i get home..
No one to nag at me (ok this i will NOT miss)
No one to tell me what to do..
No one to sleep with (ok this just sounds wrong)..
No one to sleep in my bed with me at night (ok trying to justify the above sentence just makes it worse)..
No more family around.

Ok i know ive been complaining alot, but I guess at the end of the day I dont want my Grandma to leave.. because she's still my family and I'll miss her, as much as I find it really, hard and stressful living with her. Maybe Im just not used to it.. but ill still be sad to see her go.

Now I have to clean, feed, cook and fend for myself.. but that's okay!! I mean, its back to work right?

Not to mention, I've put my life on hold for Mama. To me, it is and always will be to have my family first. I hope, and I know that I will always, always put my family first in my life. Everything will be on hold when anyone comes to visit me because time with them is so precious in my life. EVEN IF I complain alot. haha. and EVEN IF they are difficult to live with. EVEN IF I get fat from the non-exercise.

So next week, my life will be filled with EVENTS!!.. so stay tuned and get ready to hear all about them!! (Man I sound like a radio station/church announcer). Anyway just to give a little perspective.. Saturday night I have a Worship gathering at my place!!! (yup hopefully people are gonna rock up - mainly back up singers and worship leaders and Lauren n Josh! and their families!!) Hopefully the kids wont get too bored.. Not to mention church on Sunday, friends over in the arvo, a vet appointment, a touch footy game, the gym, kick boxing lessons somewhere in next week! But I still miss SIngapore heaps..

MAMA i dont want you to go.. but why are u so hard to live with!? Im not fully Australian, but I am still NOT fully Singaporean either - 7 years here.. what do u expect?! Though Im NOT that Australian, I am NOT that Asian either - as much as I reallylive with!?!!!! Its so frustrating.. What do you mean when you say "the Asian way" of doing things? I dont understand. "Doing things the ASIAN WAY" - what is that? I know i may not be fully Australian, or not as Australian as some of my ABC friends, hate to admit that.. and I really dont understand what you mean when u say these things. I believe in paying my way if she wants to give me a bed, I dont care if the bed rots in her garage if she doesn't use it - she still is giving it up for me, and should have it.. The "Asian Way" of just giving me the bed doesnt mean a thing to me.. because she is still giving it up and should be compensated. RIght? RIGHT?!!

I so.. HATE admitting that im not asian..

Short Post.
Today i met up with Leanne Hoad, principal of Leanne Hoad Singing Studios to organise the Workshop that she is doing for my team of Back up singers in church, and also to organise private lessons for me and joy (as a duo).

As she showed me around and introduced me to her studio.. a familiar feeling crept over me... smallness? crappyness? haha Its the same feeling when i first met Katya Winspear, the best of my vocal teachers so far.

WHy do all the good singing teachers make you feel so small and crappy?

So im pretty sure this singing studio is good.
Sigh.. its back to work.

Deb : Its okay Josh (gives him a big smile)
Josh : Okay Deb (puts jumper back on)
Deb (loudly) : SIGH.
Josh : What's the matter?!!!
Deb : Okay Josh, that was a TEST and you JUST FAILED!!
Josh (protests) : WHAT?!! How did I FAIL?! YOU SAID you DIDNT want my jumper!!!
Deb : YEAH I SAID I didnt want it, but im still cold, aren't I?!
EVEN THOUGH i refuse your jumper, you STILL GIVE IT TO ME

Josh : DEB, that was an EXAM and you just FAILED!!

"I am a mystery.. I am a locked room in a tall tower"..
Dont know why ive been feeling so dark and melacholic lately. I think if i were to start writing songs they would be dark and make people want to kill themselves (hello Hotel California anyone?!) haha.

Could it be that Im missing my weekly dose of exercise?? Okay before I go on further.. its essential that I explain that I have this policy in my life.. that.. whenever any of my family members, or friends come to visit me, I will drop all activities, ALL THINGS, to be with them and spend time with them.
So, when my grandma is here, i just go to work and come home. The weekend isnt so bad; at least we can go out and do stuff.. but Sunday night thru to Wednesday night.. theres nothing to do.. but to stay at home (and watch TV).. :( I cant even make my weekly Touch footy game this week, because Im gonna take Grammy out for Late Night Shopping Night..

Don't misunderstand.. I LOVE SPENDING TIME with my Grandma!! :) Esp this trip.. i just.. feel very restless.. and i think im gaining alot of weight..
And I miss Singapore..
Especially the late nights out..
And the food.

My New Year Resolutions
"And Like a Flood.. His Mercy Rains.. Unending love, Amazing Grace"
Thank You God.. the item by Jerry n me went down okay.. Thank God for Jerry.. haha during the whole song, when we were up on stage, he kept looking at me, bobbing his head and mouthing "yeah man.. yeah man!!" hahaha which really, really relaxed me and calmed me down. We sang Amazing Grace my Chains are gone by Chris Tomlin.. IN F Major..

which was SO HIGH.. but nvm its over!!

I love my new kitten!!! I think i will call it Milo or Raffikee.. can someone please tell me which to choose?! haha Milo from Milo and Otis, NOT from the MASK. And Rafikee from The Lion King. haha

Ive been doing heaps of thinking lately.. about.. what i want to achieve this year in Australia.. This will be my 7th year.. meaning that i have spent almost 1/3 of my life in Australia.. haha so.. here goes.

MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
1) JESSICA ALBA - Yes Sashi!! haha MY #1 RESOLUTION!! haha not to BECOME HER, but to become as fit and as healthy looking as her (ok the curves and body dont hurt) haha!! haha u wait!! hahaha.. To do this, I am gonna start (hopefully)..
a) Going to the gym at least twice/three times a week
b) Going Kickboxing one night per week (if i can afford to..)
c) Playing Touch Footy every Wednesday or Thursday night
d) Playing Tennis with Josh and co. once or twice every week

2) MUSIC/CHURCH MINISTRY - I wanna write a couple of songs, learn how to play the guitar properly (like not a G key only).. haha. I wanna actually spend more time with God.. with my QT etc. I want to know God more and understand him better. I want to know what my reason for being in Australia is. I want to know what my future goals and if im moving back to Singapore or not.

3) MAKING EVERY MOMENT COUNT - I wanna fill up my days - with friends. I wanna catch up with all my precious friends MORE this year, and MAKE more time for friends.. haah I wrote a list of friends that i want to regularly catch up with.. People in my small group - my girls esp.. Jen, Janine, Belinda, Jane (when she's down here for a visit).. like.. i am going to try to make it a POINT to have a fortnightly catchup with them.. like go for coffee? I really, really miss them. Other friends and my cousins.. yeah :)

4) CAREER - I wanna work to the best that I can be.. :) I wanna take up some further study (if thats possible).. And i will try not to be late and oversleep etc now that i live further away.. damnit..

So.. before I go back to Singapore later in the year, I will whip this post out, and see what ive done with my life in 2008!! With your grace God.

Day 4.. 30000 days more to go..
Its Saturday!! haha ok I love my weekends.. got straight into the program. On friday, both my bosses got together and made an executive decision: Its Friday, and its HOT.. so everyone knocks off at 4pm! (one hour earlier than usual)!!! hahaha not to meantion that its Happy Hour!! hah

This morning, I slept in late.. woke up at 10 plus because Joy rang me 6 times in a row to tell me that she was dropping off the kitten to my place tonight. Oh did i mention that Joy bought me a kitten?! Its an orange furball... absolutely gorgeous, but im so scared that im gonna screw it up, and what bout my future plans?! haha. Today at practice Teh Guh heard wrong and was like "WHAT u BOUGHT A KID!? WHERE?!" To which i replied "KID?! where?!! im gonna suicide it!!" And I have to think of a name for it.. and NO im not naming it Raffiki..

Anyway haha went for practice because I am backing up for Jerry who is leading. God, i hope it goes well.. esp Amazing Grace My Chains are GOne..
During Practice i cant help but think of Singapore.. what are people doing at this time over there?.. (Holds back feelings..)

I still miss Singapore heaps. Had a chat with Pastor Wilson, and he told me to go read a book and pray on whether to fully move back for a couple of years or so.. He set me a deadline to do this, and by then hopefully I will know if i am going to permanently move back for awhile at least.
God.. please show me..

Im Baaccck
I am back.. after my short, SHORT holiday in Singapore.. back to reality? Back to being an adult?

I guess so.. But firstly, i wanna really, really thank everyone that came to send me off. Like.. i know i say this every year, but Thank you so much for even bothering to rock up to the airport.. you will seriously never know how much that means to me, and how much I appreciate you guys as individuals. So thank you. :)

I seem to have lost the abability to express myself.. and i seem to choke on my words and mix them up, or worse, just freeze up everytime I try. And i really dont know what to say, or what to do. Then i screw things up by beating around the bush. And im sorry... I really am.. I just cant deal..

Flight was alright :) Public holiday flights RULE! haha for the first time in like 5 years there were empty seats all around me.. :) ha am SO doing that again!! :)

Had a really, really busy day today.. non-stop action! Which is good.. which is what i prayed for.. People ask me why I worked today.. truth is, I wanted to work. I want to keep busy.. which is what i did today.

Landed in Adelaide at 9.10am. Changed on the plane, met up with Josh and he took me to work. At work, they actually gave me christmas prezzies!! How nice!! Cadbury & Haighs Choccies, a bottle of Chardonnay and a christmas ornament!! Oh man everyone gave me hugs and I guess i am really glad to be back!! On top of that I found out that I get 3 additional days of leave for work/life/balance, ONTOP of my 4 weeks annual leave!! haha

Had a coffee with Livio (one of the financial planners) at 3pmish which was a life-saver. I was seriously tired.. like.. All accents, Singaporean and Australian were starting to sound the same to me.. After was alright :) Immediately after work, Josh picked me up, and we had coffee with Aaron and Serena on the parade at Cafe Palazzo. (Okay, i didnt drink another coffee).. haha Then, I dropped Josh home, got home to change, and brought my grandma to the city. We bought groceries, and she bought a rice cooker for me (dont laugh people I dont actually own a rice cooker but now i DO!!) :)

Aaron im gonna miss you heaps.. my driving buddy is leaving for England for 6 months.. ok i know its a short period (right Josh?!! haha) but its still a significant amount of time for someone who hasnt actually dont anything like this.. I hope you get an English girlfriend :) since u hate the accent so much :) Take care okay?! Im going to try to make it to the airport to send you off tomorrow during my lunch break, but if i dont manage to, Im sorry.. and ill see you when you get back :) love ya heaps mate em>

Right now its 9.50pm. Mama is cooking dinner, and I am blogging, too tired to even think about eating.. Have to wake up at 7am tomorrow. Maybe I'll bus it in to work.
Work is piling up. I need to start my work study program, write down my new year goals and resolutions.. Thank you god. Please let this year pass efficiently and fruitfully..

i will try to blog more!! haha (New Year's resolution #255)
