Deathnote L

Latest to my collection, second favourite character from Death Note is,.... L.

Out running errands today and curiously popped into an anime store. Saw the Deathnote DVD set giving away a replica death note and a quill pen. How can I resist? (Despite already having all the episodes on my HDD).
Apart from the DVD, another somehow impulse buy, L. He's just too cute not to bring home.

Now my lil Ryuk has a friend.

Disappointment

Facebook, entertaining, burning much of my hours on games and random stuff.
Keeping in contact with my friends and family online, sharing all the ongoings and gossips.

Not to mention showing off the great vacation pictures with everyone.

Received a call from Cow this morning, saying that he saw a friend of ours being tagged in an album.
Disappointment, they were in town, just a stone throw from ours.
Despite we've opened our doors to him, sending out our invitation if he ever wanna drop by, he's always welcomed, he hasn't got the time.
He's passed by once, but as he mentioned that he's not familiar with the area, therefore dare not leave his group to wander around.
Fair enough, that's absolutely understandable.

This time he's just a stone throw away, and not even a call.
Are we really such a pest? I felt as though we were not wanted.
It's pretty difficult to describe how I'm feeling at the moment.
A friend of more than 15 years,.... that's all I can say.

On several occasion when I went home, he asked as if with great interest if Cow's going back with me.
I thought he missed him, or maybe I've just read it wrong.

At least now I know.
============================================================

***** Responding to some tag on my chatbox in defence:

No I did not expect that friend to come over to ours knowing the fact that he's not familiar with the area. That's just inconsiderate.

I got bad grades for Geography, but I still know that KL is bigger than Singapore. But still, thanks for the reminder.

And if all can be based on assumptions, that it would be convenient for me to assume that from now onwards this friend of mine is either busy at work/ on course/ doing his assignment/ blah blah blah and and not call in case I trouble him.

And yes I'll stop asking, if I do, it just seemed that we're desperate and begging him to come over. No, we are not running a bed and breakfast, we are not desperate for customers. Door closed... Being a homemaker doesn't necessary means I'm boring my mind off, I can jolly well use that time to do things of my interest. It doesn't make a difference if he comes over or not, just felt like pinching myself over why on earth am I getting my blood pressure up over it.

Sigh, case close, I shall speak no more of this matter on my blog. I don't wanna wake up tom with white hair. Vented my anger, off to bed...

Dog IQ

Picked up a book from the stores yesterday,... "Test your dog's IQ". Did a small lil experiment before I start going through the book, this is to just give me a rough idea of what to expect from Yumi.

Pre-test 1 :
Place treats in cup and see how the canine would react.

To be honest, I've high expectation with the result for this test, since she's so food driven and all.

Result :
She ran around the cup, barked, ran, bark, ran,... you get the idea.
Tired, she just sat there staring at the forbidden food, and started whining... Test failure.


Pre-test 2 :
Place treats under cup.

Well this might be easier than the first test I suppose.

Results :
She proved me wrong,...
The test subject started with running around the cup, more barking and running,... then she surprised me.
She attempted to dig her way under the cup!!!! *Speechless*

I'm not pinning my hope too high with the scoring in the next few days...

I've been busy

As Nana puts it, he can see tumbleweeds on my blog.

I've been rather busy for the past few weeks, went home for a while and Pea came visit straight after as usual.
Then Adam came over to stay for a day before flying back to UK. Our landlady's planning to sell her house, and her business partners and agent has been coming in rather frequently. Hence more cleaning for me.

The next week or two isn't gotta be much better. Heading to an endurance race this weekend at the circuit, more errands, then a possible dinner appointment when my cousin whom I've not met since I was like five. Looking forward to some catching up. Have to make a trip down to Yen's to collect Yumi's chicken for her barf diet as well. With so many things going on, I've no choice but to push back Yumi's grooming at the vet's.

Germaine's gotta visit next week as well, planning for a short girly trip to Genting. And shortly after, I've to fly again to renew my visa.

Sigh, why the rant? Well if I'm to vanish again, at least you know I'm not dead. Just busy that's all.

Here's some totally random pix of Pea and Bubble during my trip home. Nothing beats spending time with my two favourite beings.
