Zhu is sick!
********************************************************
5:00pm
Xray is still unsure. Doctor gave Zhu some "berium" to eat to help pass out whatever if there's something in Zhu's intestine. If tomorrow xray still show nothing, then maybe no need to operate. But if have ... cries ... must surgery!
Later going to see doctor with my hubby for him to tell us more about the xray and what we should do. Tomorrow is gonna be another busy day for me.
Poor Zhu I wonder what he's doing now. I hope he's okay. I think if I've a choice to bring him home or leave him there, I'm definitely bringing him home.
Waiting for hubby to come home so we can take cab down to the vet. T___T

Bad day ... really bad.
Wanted to go to a nice restaurant, do a little window shopping, go to Borders, but ... sigh ... all wrong.
Went to Sakae Sushi for lunch. Bad choice. It was not to say crowded. Let's just say when we entered, the lunch crowd were leaving. This should mean that service should be quicker and more efficient right? WRONG!
We promptly ordered our set meals, and while waiting ate a $1.90 plate of salmon sushi, which I find so totally not worth it. The fried veggies with sweet sauce (I dunno what's it called) came quite fast, and my set meal of cold noodles and sashimi followed only 10 minutes after.
I was disappointed with the sashimi though, only 2 slices of tuna, 3 thin small slices of salmon, 1 disgustingly thin prawn, and 2 huge pieces of SQUID! I hate raw squid with a passion. Why? Just imagine eating a rubber condom. Yes it's exactly the same feeling!!!
I tucked in first cause I was hungry as hell. So imagine when 10 mins became 20 mins ... and then stretched on to 30 minutes ... still no sign of my hubby's set meal. We called the waitress like THREE TIMES to check with our order. But you know what one of the waitress did??? After she said okay, she went back to CLEANING CUPS, and then took an order for ANOTHER TABLE before going back into the kitchen which I dare say she never helped us check the status of our order. My hubby was in a fury by then, barked at the next poor waiter to cancel his order now if it was not coming.
So we later filled up a "comments" form and wrote "Horrible service."
Mood was TOTALLY ruined for book reading in Borders. I couldn't do any window shopping cause of his pissed off mood. Ended up only searching for some form of makeshift fondue stand so that we could have our own chocolate fondue at home.
Mood turned for the better. We found it.
Went home, everything was fine. Until late that night when the stupid man was searching for his pants. Cannot find. Ask me. I say dunno. Now here comes the onslaught on accusations!
"You wash and lose my pants ah! Why everytime I wash my stuff it always disappears one!? How you do your washing one!!"
At this point I was squatting in the wardrobe sifting through his NEATLY hanged pants (done by me of course) and then found ONE of his pants that he was looking for.
This calmed him a bit, but then he continued to say, "Then my black one leh? I haven't got a chance to wear my new black pants leh!" I continued to search. The more I looked, the angrier he got, the more desperate I became to find it for him. He was like a volcano getting ready to erupt.
And he did.
"How you do the bloody housework? I can never trust you to handle house stuff! What you do all day at home?!" These are just some of the milder stuff that he shouted at me. The rest were just mostly filled with vulgarities that I would sooner want to forget.
It got to a point that he was telling me to move back home with my mom and do what I did best there ... NOTHING.
What he had said has cut me so deeply. I know that I do bad job at housework. I try my best but it's not enough I know. It's never enough. Throughout the whole ordeal, I didn't say a word. I know that anything I say can never cancel what ever I've done, or in this case of housework, not done.
This morning he acted like nothing had happened last night. He expects me to do the same. He has no idea what he's doing to me. Inside my heart I retain all these past hurts. I dunno when my heart will really break and cannot be repaired again.
I had problem driving today. My eyes were all puffy. Sigh.

He was sitting at the end of the bed ... and just staring at me like that. How to resist! I quickly whipped out my hp and took these few shots.

Chocolate Sin
CCF is so much more ... fun. The tune is still in my head!! Willy Wonka! Willy Wonka!
I still remember the Flying Dutchman/Glenn Ong saying Willy Wanker instead of Wonka on air. Gosh ... I almost forgot to look at where I'm driving when I laughed with my eyes closed.
And they wear the SAME COLOURED COORDINATED TIGHT LATEX or RUBBER or WHATEVER SUITS in each room!
I recognise the midget's face to be one of the midgets used as a hobbit for LOTR! If you watched the making of LOTR you'd know.

Why Men Have Nipples?
I got this article from MSN today. Interesting ... =)
New book answers why men have nipples
Humorous tome addresses unusual medical questions
NEW YORK - Have you ever wondered why your teeth chatter when you’re cold, or if you could really catch a disease from sitting on a toilet seat?
New York physician Billy Goldberg, pestered by unusual questions at cocktail parties and other social gatherings over the years, puts the public’s mind at ease in his book “Why Do Men Have Nipples?”
“It’s really remarkable how often you get accosted,” said Goldberg, 39. “There are the medical questions from family and friends, and then there are the drunk and outrageous questions where somebody wants to drop their pants and show you a rash or something.”
I would love to be around when that happens ... best if armed with a camera so I can bribe them with the photo later. Kekekeke.
The book, subtitled, “Hundreds of Questions You’d Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini,” (Three Rivers Press), is co-authored by humorist Mark Leyner.
“People tend to know so little about their bodies as compared to their cars or their laptops,” said Leyner, 49, of Hoboken, New Jersey. “When I worked in a pharmacy in Washington, D.C., people would ask me medical questions all the time. I was just a 22-year-old cashier at Rite Aid.”
Geez! What makes customers think the cashier knows what's wrong with them??? They're there to handle your cash! Not your health. Ask the salesperson who are always more than glad to help you out (and in the process also sell you something which you might not need so that they can earn a commission from it to buy that fancy watch/handphone/'whatever-they-r-fancying-atm' that they've been eyeing.)
Chattering teeth is one way the body tries to generate heat.
Yup that's one way. Another way is ... ke ke ke ke ... *soaps my dirty brain*
When the body gets too cold, the area of the brain called the hypothalamus alerts the rest of the body to begin warming up. Shivering, the rapid muscle movement that generates heat, then begins. Teeth chattering represents localized shivering.
Hrmm ... when I get cold ... all my brain signals is "PUT ON SOME CLOTHES" Haha. Joking. It's more like "Off the blurdy air con!".
During the course of their research, Goldberg and Leyner found reports of gonorrhea, pinworm and roundworm found on toilet seats -- but catching something from it isn’t common.
The authors discovered that an office setting might be worse for your health than toilet seats. Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, found the typical office desk harbors some 400 times more disease-causing bacteria than the average toilet seat.
OFFICE WORKERS BEWARE!!! I think I know why. Toilet everyday got people clean (with their asses!!!). But office desk only have the designated office worker to keep clean (which is like not possible unless you're a neat freak). Piles of paper, files (god knows what sort of hands touched these! These are never cleaned!), stationary, etc, collecting dust, germs that were floating around from the sneeze from your colleague, remains of a eraser from an earlier erasing of pencil lead, the list goes on. At least it is more likely a person's butt is cleaner when they touch the toilet seat. Rather than tons of stuff with which where they've been to is unknownest to you.
Goldberg had compiled a list of nagging questions for several years before embarking on the book after meeting Leyner. The two met while working on a short-lived ABC-TV medical drama, “Wonderland,” in which Leyner served as a writer, while Goldberg was its medical advisor.
Burning questions
Some of the burning questions answered in the humorous book include “What causes morning breath?” and “Why do beans give you gas?”
Goldberg says morning breath results from anaerobic bacteria, the xerostomia (dry mouth) or the volatile sulfur compounds (which are waste products from the bacteria). Other contributing factors to foul oral odor includes medication, alcohol, sugar, smoking, caffeine, and eating dairy products.
Good habits = Nice smelling breath. But then I guess the same thing can be achieve through adequete brushing, gargelling and pop in a strong mint. Solved. But still good habits are good to keep. Duh.
Beans contain high percentages of sugars that our bodies are unable to digest, Goldberg explains. When the sugars make it to the intestines, bacteria go to work and start producing large amounts of gas.
Ladies ... avoid beans if you want to avoid embarrassing yourself. Gentlemen ... have the decency and not spoil meals for others with your 'bean gas'. My hubby does it so much that I want to take a cork and plug up his hole! The dodo can even burp by drinking WATER! >.< doh!
And if you’re ever bitten by a poisonous snake, sucking at the bite to remove the poison, as often shown in the movies and on TV is not only ineffective, but could lead to an infection.
Instead, the bite should be washed with soap and water and immobilized. The bitten area should also be kept lower than the heart. Medical help should be sought immediately.
I've always wondered the stupid idiot who sucks out the poison doesn't get poisoned at all?! Now I know. Sorry hubby, I'll never suck out poison for you. But then I'll help hold you while you stand on your head, if the stupid snake bit you from your chest up, till help arrives.
And why do men have nipples?
While only females have mammary glands, we all start out in a similar way in the embryo, the authors explain. The embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, when the male sex chromosome kicks in.
Men, however, have already developed nipples.
And some men have bigger boobies than some women ... and I'm not only referring to only the 'horizontally challenged' males.
Another interesting thing is that a lot of girls do not know that the males' nipples are also quite sensitive and to SOME guys is quite a turn on (i mean when in bed lah!) They are not numb nubs there hor! Got feeling one! Hee hee. But most guys are shy loh. So be daring and try it with your bf/hubby. You might find something interesting. And for the curious of some, NO. My hubby doesn't like. (Hopes no one whacks me for this comment sia.)

My Little Wedding Fashion Show ... hee hee.
Heng a lot of the pictures blur blur ... then you all cannot see the details of my ugly no make up face, fat flabs and stupid expressions.
These are the white wedding dresses ... guess which one I chose in the end?
Now here are the dinner dresses ... ALL OF THEM were soooo pretty.
My mom and I called this the pink cabbage dress. We love it! Hubby hated it. There was a pink under-layer which was cover by a sheer greenish outer-layer. The top part at the bodice was shaped like ... a cabbage leaf that was held in place by a elegant pink crystal lined bustier top. It was really nice ... and special too. But I just felt it wasn't me. So didn't choose this one.
