the plan of my visit home due to a new toy, the thing which I'm not fectis most, would I get a chance of stroking its smooth white body? Only time will tell, the thought of it is making me all excited again. Fingers crossed it will arrive by next week, can't postpone my trip too much due to time constrain.

3 Hours of Powerlessness
I've survived to tell the story...
For the past two nights the emergency light in the hallway has proven its worth. One black out the night before, three the previous. It's kinda obvious since all the street lamps were dead, so once those peeps got the hint, the power came back within less than half an hour.
The worst I've to say would be today, a hot sunny (really sunny) late morning, with no fan, no air-conditioning, no cold drinks (din't wanna risk bringing down the temperature in the fridge). For a whole straight 3 *BEEP* *BEEP* hours. To make it even more unbearable, I'm stuck with only one *BEEP* cup of coffee coz I can't use the electric kettle to make another .... Why do I have the bad feeling that those fellas didn't even notice that the power's off?
Without electricity for 3 hours, even Yumi's complaining about the heat. What can I do without TV and internet? Sigh.... Finished the latest edition of my photography mag which was sitting at the corner collecting dust and started off the first few page of this book I bought which I never had the motivation to turn the pages. Oh and some mango to distract me from the rashes on my body from the heat.
Cow's kinda oblivious to all our torture, he's resting his back in slumberland. I've managed to convince him to skip work today. Since returning to work (which I did warn him not to) the condition of his back hasn't improved, instead it took a turn for the worse. Well I did had a go at him last night with all the "See!!!! I TOLD YOU SO!!!!". As for today, I'm glad he heed my advice.

A Week of Climbing
The Ups
It has been a week of good food, well sorta. Even my horoscope was warning me to watch my waistline. Finally managed to relief my crave for dim sum last weekend, thanks to Lee who's ever so nice to bring us to one of the local deli.
To repay his kindness, we prepared shabu shabu cum terpanyaki with a recipe I've got for shabu stock. Wasn't too bad, well at least its pretty healthy in the other sense, no msg involved.

The Downs
Cow's having back problem for the past week, went to a chinese massage parlour recommended to us. Pulling a "I'm ok face" while paying the bill, he almost collapsed once outta the door. Even driving home was a bitch for him, my heart aches.
Anyone who's worked with him should have experienced his attitude towards absences, ever since starting work in this country, he's not taken a single day off even on those days he's unwell. Money always comes first before his health, in a way that if its not too serious, he'd still drag himself off the bed. But this is an exception, he can hardly pay a visit to the loo without my help.
With me being the nurse, its kinda tiring. Every little small errands from switching the lights on, fetching a glass of water, to assisting him down the steps, I've deffo burnt loads of carbs this few days. Once tired, I'd turn grouchy, but I tried not to show seeing his tortured face. Let it off by calling him "OLD MAN". Think that nick is gotta stick around for a while.

Downhill Challenge 09
A few more spots on the face, a mid-day tan, those were the souvenirs from my weekend. Despite all that, it has been rather rewarding.
Went to the Downhill Challenge just around the corner of the neighbourhood, surprised that we can even stay awake to attend.
Climbing the muddy hill was tough, but not as bad compared to making our way down. We used the bike track to go up, but since the event was still ongoing, heading down we had to find alternatives. Almost made a fool of myself trying to jump off one of the ninety degree slope, avoiding the stream but landed on soft ground instead. Boy did I burnt of the carbs from my heavy breakfast.

Sweating the hell out, would I do it again? You bet!!!! It has been a fun afternoon. And loads of pictures to show and tell.

Collecting Dust
*Huff**Puff* And there's still a thin layer of dust in this blog.
Hasn't had the motivation to pick up the camera nor jot down my thoughts recently.
The past two weeks were pretty slow, and mainly boring to the core.
Supposed to drive Yumi to the vet's for spaying, battling the comfort of slumberland. With only four hours of sleep, we made it in time for the appointment, to only be sent home.
Her dear vet said she has to wait another month coz she just had her first heat a month ago. *Agony*
Apart from that, all's well. Finally clicked on the shutters again. Cow's wired up the lights for me to play around with.
Therefore here are the test shots.
