knicks & knacks

Had lunch of ramen with Peiling. Really almost didn't recognise her in her "work clothes". Hehehe really cannot judge a book by its cover. She looks like those super hardworking type that can sacrifice sleep and food for her job. But when we party ... in her words hor ... she looks "lian" (bad girl image). To me ... she looks like a crazy party fun gal. Heheh ... always good to have around.

I wanna find a casual work clothes type of job! Then no need to buy those damn expensive pants, shoes, and jackets!!! Imagine wearing tee shirt and jeans that truly shouts your personality instead of the constricting skirts/pants, blouse and HOT HOT JACKET in SINGAPORE WEATHER and still having to look good in front of others. Sian loh!

If I kenna those constrictive type of clothes to work in ... confirm I have to have a mirror to check myself for any hair out of place or worse food stain 24 hours a day. Hubby says I'm like a blubbering baby!!! ALWAYS staining my clothes when I eat. True though ... especially when I'm eating noodles. Even DRY wanton mee I can get stains ... T_T

Went to central library just now ... found the COMIC section. Yes to those boys who like Marvel and Justice League, and the others who like comics like Calvin & Hobbes or Dilbert ... look for section 741.0 in the library ... one whole side of I think 5-6 cupboards with these funnies and good reads. I picked up THREE comic books there.


By Patrick McDonnell
Mutts II - "Cats and Dogs"
Mutts five - "Our Mutts"
Mutts no.8 - "I Want To Be The Kitty"
Without even looking at a single page of the comics yet ... from the simplicity of the way the comic is drawn I'm already in love. Can't wait to start my search for the rest of the books in the library.

Oh and another book, don't laugh hor ... I got this cuz the others didn't fulfil my wants of a book that teaches my dog little endearing tricks like "fetch" and "find".


"Dog Tricks for Dummies"
I can hear someone sniggering. *throws a dung bomb at the arse* Haha. But hear me out! These are some of the little tricks they are introducing in this book.

Embarrassed / Yuk! - where the dog can hide his face behind his paw or scratching his nose in disgust.
Barking on Command - this will be damn good to train them better at keeping quiet when I want to.
Bring It Back - er ... fetch ... duh
Trash It - this would be darn interesting and then no need to bring rubbish to the kitchen to throw liao. I'll have my dog do it for me! Whee! hahah.
Finding Lost Treasure - this would bring sooo much amusement sia!
Take A Bow - this too!!

Found this totally amusing link from atomfilms. Quite a ... funny way to represent how both sides deal in a relationship. Part 2 is the sequel to 1 ... which what the girl does is sooooo expected!
