As much as I hate to admit, yes, my beastie brother has departed Earth on 21 September 2009 at 7:20am. He had been suffering for 2 weeks and it was an ache seeing him purging bloody stools and regurgitating white foamy substance every now and then. From a playful rascal to a tired soul awaiting his Maker...all within 2 weeks..*Sigh* The one who is worse-hit is Gramps, who is stuck in the emotional rut. She is unable to get used to life without Boyboy; he was her constant companion when everyone was out in the day. She is the only one who is able to tolerate his fear for thunder, his habit of sleeping beside her (yes, on the bed), his pickiness in food (he ate only boiled chicken for his meals) and his irritating incessant barking. She would get angry whenever we drew the cane and refused to talk to us if it touched his furry body : /
After coming back at 4am from late-night chit chat at Kallang MacDonald's last Sunday, my heart sank when Bro told me to look at him. His condition had worsened and we were all prepared for the worst. I walked into the room and saw him shivering. Moments later, he started to urinate on the floor. Incontinence. He would usually run to his pee and poo station in the kitchen. He was starting to get wasted. He walked out of the room, jumped onto the sofa and vomitted yellow substance (Bile?) Aunt Maddy quickly woke up and washed the sofa - Everybody was not mad at him because we all knew it was not under his control...we also knew that he might not last till the next morning too.
Fat Boy, Bro and I decided to head straight to the vet early in the morning to perform a scan on him. If he could be saved, we would go all out to do so, otherwise, we would put him to sleep to shorten his suffering. We went back to rest hoping for time to pass quickly so that we could rush to the vet. A couple of hours later, Gramps switched on the lights and started wailing. Both Fat Boy and I jumped out of bed and saw Boyboy lying in a pool of blood, gasping for air (He was dying...) Aunt Maddy rushed out of her room and teared while patting him. I was too stunned for words and remained rooted on the bed. Moments later, he stopped gasping and remained stagnant - He was dead.
Aunt Maddy placed him into a big black plastic bag together with his toys, blankets and snacks and brought it to the rubbish chute near my block. Everybody was emotional, especially Gramps, who could not stop wailing and lamenting why he had to die so young (He just celebrated his 3rd birthday)
As they say, all dogs go to heaven. I hope you do too, yeah? You'll always be my beastie brother, Boyboy.

Rest & More Rest!
Last Saturday was rest and relax day - Fat Boy and I met up with Sworn Sista and her hubby, Stephen, at her place before we went to Wellness Village at Pan Pacific Hotel for a good body scrub and massage! There was a long list of body scrubs (Ginger, Ginseng, Coffee, Chocolate, Rose Petals, Lavender) and massages (Shiatsu, Aromatheraphy, Tui Na, Swedish, Indonesian) to choose from. I had Ginseng body scrub and aromatheraphy : D It had been a long time since my muscles had a good rub and I totally enjoyed the 120 minute session : )
As the boys were hungry, we proceeded to Kiliney Kopitiam at Marina Square to have a bite before strolling around. Sworn Sista suggested going to the ice cream buffet at Swenson's in Ion Orchard as Stephen wanted to try. I didn't like the idea of stuffing myself with sugary carbs (Felt so damn terrible the other time I went), but arghhh...I relented : / This time round, I had only 3 scoops of ice cream with chopped banana and almond flakes (Enough is enough - I was actually craving for savoury stuff) Fat Boy, Sworn Sista and Stephen gorged themselves with ice cream and toppings and seriously, it was bad. Argh.
Before we sent them home, I went to NTUC supermart to purchase a box of salmon gunkan (I guess that is more suitable for dinner to me) Met up with the SPI guys at Kallang MacDonald's to discuss about the plans for the upcoming Kuala Lumpur trip in December before we finally head home : ) (Yeah, we are going to Kuala Lumpur for food and shopping on 24 December!)
We spent the whole of Sunday at home. Even dinner was KFC delivery : P Guess we were simply too lazy to move a single muscle. Hehe...
I accompanied Sworn Sista to London Weight Management for a free consultation-cum-trial on Monday evening. It felt terrible when the consultant pinpointed the problematic jiggly areas and after the hour and a half consultation, we were put into a sauna room where our toxins and water (Yes! Water) were purged. As if it was not enough, we were wrapped by a hot blanket and I tell you, I was nearly suffocated by the intense heat. I swear my heels were crying out in pain! However, I felt refreshed after the trial treatment and the best part was, I lost 800g of water and 8.5cm of flesh/fats. To take up or not to take up the package for 535 bucks? Hmmm...
As for yesterday, both Fat Boy and I went to have dinner at one of the hawker centres in Johor Bahru. We had chilli crab, stir-fried kale as well as fried shrimp paste chicken. The bill amounted to RM95, which was about 40 bucks in Singapore dollars (Cheap!) We strolled around Jusco Tebrau and had drinks at Tang Shifu , a small eatery which specializes in herbal dishes : ) I had a pot of tea which was said to encourage detoxification and fat-burning (True enough, the tea did its magic this morning). Fat Boy had Gui Ling Gao jelly with mochi : ) I was thinking of having dinner at this herbal eatery tomorrow! I am attracted by the herbal black chicken soup ; D~~

1st Month
Exactly a month since I am officially Mrs Ee, exactly a month (and going) which every single day is immersed in marital bliss and exactly a month which every night we enjoyed our pillow-talk before bedtime : D (I love this feeling very much. Can it go on and on and on...?)
Last Thursday, I met up with Sworn Sista at Ikea for dinner. Though I did not fancy the fried rice with a piece of fried chicken thigh, otah and fishcake, it was more of the company; It had been a long time since the 2 of us spend time together and indeed, there were lotsa stuff, mainly revolving our families, to catch up : ) We took a slow walk to her home before I walked back (It can be quite liberating to have your me-time once in a while)
As for last Friday, both Fat Boy and I went to City Square in Johor Bahru to fix our crowns of glory - He, for a trim and I, for hair rebonding. I seriously couldn't stand my messy mane. Argh! Anyway, we walked out of the salon happily before heading for dinner at Old Town Cafe and yes, I had my usual Ipoh hor fan with extra beansprouts and a hard-boiled egg accompanied with a glass of refreshing iced lemon tea : D~ Had wanted to catch "The Orphan", but the timings were either too early or too late, hence, we decided to forego the movie and go back to Singapore to watch MioTV : P
Did I tell you why I feel so fat recently? Last Saturday, I, together with the SPI members as well as Adeline, Berline and PF, went to the ice cream buffet at Ion Orchard. In addition to 6 scoops of ice cream (4 scoops of yummy raisin, 1 scoop of green tea and 1 scoop of chendol) with lotsa chocolate sauce, strawberry and blueberry puree as well as almond flakes and chopped nuts, I also had a bowl of canned peaches and lychees with a dollop of red bean mash : O (Isn't that scary enough?!) After everybody had their fill, we proceeded to Merlion Park via One Fullerton (It's always good to burn off those calories!) and took some pictures before having spicy steamboat for dinner : P~ (As usual, I wolfed down prawns, mutton and pork) As if it was not enough, our last program of the night was hanging out at Kallang MacDonald's. I drank cups of sugarless tea hoping that it would remove the sickening oil from the spicy steamboat >: (
Sunday was a day of recuperating - The only time Fat Boy and I woke up was to watch some TV and get ready for dinner at some eatery in Bedok. Due to promotion, a big claypot of curry fishhead, fried tofu with green mango strips and claypot herbal chicken cost less than 30 bucks. Wow wow wow! As the night was still young, we went to the food fair at Expo (it was an utter disappointment) and Loyang Tua Pek Kong temple to offer incense before we headed home : )
