Helloooooooooo!!!

Wah piang........i waited until neck long long liao lo.

Wah piang why no warning one? I was happily typing a reply to BH and then, sorry we are closed. Lazy to retype.

OK, I was typing this post when I realised that the ol' chatterboxes had been closed!
Waaaah!! FINALLY, someone who understands what I've been through and am going through!!Originally posted by jetta:I know what you mean. I move every three years and there are many things I just am not motivated to unpack you know? This move here was our 9th in 14 years. Sian ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thinking about packing always gives me goose pimples!
With each move, I become more and more sian and will drag my feet more and more! Worse, all the old aches and pains all start to return the minute I hear the words 'pack' and 'move'! 
I think it's some psychological effect!
That's why although I HATE this place I'm living in right now, I tahan'd being here for the past three years. The thought of moving AGAIN is so revolting that remaining here is the lesser of the two evils!
Tell you why I hate this place... it's too low, on the 2nd storey, and not safe, cause even I can figure out a way to climb up to my apartment and enter via the bedroom or kitchen windows!
The silly landlord didn't install grilles either! I've never felt secure here except when I had two flatmates.
Next, the neighbours are very noisy, and they like to throw litter along the corridor. Worse, they spit along the corridor and staircases too!
I've also seen rats scurrying along the corridor late at night!
That's why I ALWAYS keep my door closed!
They're doing upgrading works now and for the past year, this place has been a dust magnet!
I've given up trying to keep my home dust-free! 
No matter how you close the windows, dust STILL gets in!! You clean your place and in less than a week, a film of dust coats everything! -
Owls........I'm going to take the van to the mall leh. See you folks in an hour yah? Failing which, nite nite and sweet dreams.

Orh... sorry, must explain to you.Originally posted by jetta:Wah piang why no warning one? I was happily typing a reply to BH and then, sorry we are closed. Lazy to retype.
See, over here, once a thread reaches max 2000 posts, the server will be placed under a considerable strain if we keep on adding to the thread.
Therefore, once we hit 2000, we try to start a new thread. That's why we're now in Part 19!!
I think Bear closed the previous thread but don't know why he didn't start this new one leh! Maybe, he fell asleep?

Not me!Originally posted by skeujin:nxt time open new one thn add link in old one... tink easier for the new guys n gals to find else they wont knw wats happening...
Bear closed the old one whilst I was still typing a post... I didn't even know until I couldn't submit the post, then I realised it had already been closed. So, I immediately started a new part! -

Rhonda, I've had my share of neighbours from hell. Where do I begin? If I were to tell you about it now, my stress-o-meter will sky rocket man. -

Thought you aren't supposed to give bones to dogs??!!Originally posted by breytonhartge:you sound like my other half... except she wants giraffes, tigers, koalas and the like.... my dogs are very easy to care for... and cheap to feed too. I buy a 20Kg bag of food for about $20 and it lasts me about 1.5 months. Not bad? Then I give them bones and all as a treat, about $2 per bone which gives 4 serves...
I didn't know until I threw a few chicken bones to the neighbours dog, Quiche, when I stayed with a retired nurse in Baltimore, MD. I was shocked when Quiche crunched through the bones and swallowed the bones!!
I related the incident to my ex on the phone later that evening and he told me that we aren't supposed to feed bones to dogs cause they'll chew it and bone fragments may get lodged in their throats or they might choke on bits of bone! I was and felt sooo disturbed that the next morning, the first thing I did was let myself out into the backyard and shout, "Quiiiiiiiiiiiche!!!"
I was sooooo relieved when he barked a reply and came running out from the house! I was sooo worried that I'd killed that dog! -
Orh, next time just cut out what you've typed, then come here, open a new reply box, and paste it in there, then submit.Originally posted by jetta:Wah piang why no warning one? I was happily typing a reply to BH and then, sorry we are closed. Lazy to retype. -
Oh wow... rare indeed!Originally posted by breytonhartge:Me too! FYI littlestream, the spotted dog is a brown spotted dalmatian, very rare and I rescued him from his very bad previous owners who did not love him anymore after he grew up!
I've only seen the black-spotted ones so far! He's handsome! -
not chicken bones... especially not cooked bones... I give them the bone marrow from a cow... nice and thick and it acts as a toothbrush so they get to clean their teeth otherwise you get a dog with stinky breath...Originally posted by Rhonda:Thought you aren't supposed to give bones to dogs??!!

Originally posted by breytonhartge:retype please! You can't make me, neh neny neh neh!
Actually I was asking if you give your dog Greenies. I only discovered them last Sept (free sample from vet). When we moved here, I got some for the dogs but jumped at the OMG price. -
Orh... I learnt something new today! Thanks!Originally posted by breytonhartge:not chicken bones... especially not cooked bones... I give them the bone marrow from a cow... nice and thick and it acts as a toothbrush so they get to clean their teeth otherwise you get a dog with stinky breath... -
Hee hee.............Originally posted by breytonhartge:Me too! FYI littlestream, the spotted dog is a brown spotted dalmatian, very rare and I rescued him from his very bad previous owners who did not love him anymore after he grew up!
Orh, is it? Oh, that's terrible. It's like those breeders that I watch on TV. Some can really be cruel.
Hey, brey......you were talking about dreams of a cafe, right? Well, my sis had that idea too and actually put it in reality. But too bad, for ALL the six months that it was opened, she lost money. Yes, every single month. Luckily, she managed to get out of her two year lease. But I don't know if it's considered a good locale. Behind Boat Quay, that lane call what? Aiyoh, I forgot. But office hour crowds lah so she's closed on Sundays. But very jia lat.
While I also dream of having a cosy, dim lit cafe. Like a finger food, drinks, coffee. Maybe a dart board section. Better still, if enough to fit one pool table. And then a small area for me to seranade/sing, oh, that would be so lovely. Quiet crowd for small town folks, just to get out to unwind. Oh, lovely.
But guess what? I don't have the courage. And I doubt I have the energy/stamina to run one! Too old. Better just chalk up penionable years and enjoy old age. -
Eh, you bluff me not in Singapore is it? S'pore got stray chickens?Originally posted by skeujin:honestly u aint suppsed to feed them bones bt i always feed strays chicken from the rice stall n they gulp down everythg w/o any hitches... -

jetta, don't know why too but over the years, I've become more and more reluctant to meet new people. It's almost like I've had so many bad experiences that I've become suspicious and cold. I also choose my friends very very carefully now. I have a very close circle of friends whom I love though.
