Home of Jules

~ Her little house is hand-built by her Grandpa.

~ She has a night light. Yeah, seriously lol.

~ She gets walked not once, but twice daily without fail, unless it’s raining.

~ Her Mama baby-talks and sings to her during her weekly bath.

~ At 13kg, she still gets carried in Mama’s arms.

Lol cheesy title, I know

I know I’ve been missing for a while. Missed me? Lol. Been pretty occupied… One reason or another :/ What more with Fifa World Cup going on at the moment haha. I know right, I don’t know much about football, and I’m not exactly much of a sports fan either. But I get all the buzz and excitement about World Cup, so yes, I watch the matches lol.

Last Saturday was another chicahood meet up. It’s different this time around because it was the first time that we did nothing all day. Really, did nothing lol. We were having lunch and tea at OldTown in SS15 for about 4 hours. Then about dinner time, we moved to Pappa Rich around the corner for another 2 hours. We just sat around with food and drinks, and talked the day away. Lepak culture? Lol. To some people, maybe it seemed like we were wasting time by doing nothing for so many hours. But for us, it’s just another bonding moment I love my girls, they keep me from shattering myself!

You know who else I love? Hehe no question, it’s Roxiie! Here, a clearer photo of my beautiful girl.

Finally got her to settle down for a proper photo haha. Her unique look is that ‘mohawk’ thingie along her back. Cute huh?? The difference with her now and when she was a puppy are that… Her tail is much bushier than before… Her ears stand up now, previously they were completely drooped… She’s more golden now than her previous dirt colour. Remember?

Back when she was known as Hailey.

Roxiie’s been refusing to eat since she got here, but finally today she willingly finished her food. Also her behaviour damn strange. Absolutely berserk one minute, then goes to the corner and curls up with a sad face. Then when I wanted to go leave her alone, she jumps again and go crazily clingy. I figured out today why she’s behaving like that. She’s in heat =_=”’ Aiya, already mehhh… Can’t wait another month so that I can get her spayed first ah… Lol. Gonna call the vet in the morning to ask if I can still bring her for checkup if she’s in heat.

On another note, it’s funny how some people can give you frustration and amusement at the same time. I never really think that a person in this day and age would spend their youth this way. Sad to see some people in the Generation Y to have a shallow mindset like that. There’s so much more in life, I wish they would just look further than what’s in front of their eyes and freaking see the bigger picture. Another pot that calls the kettle black, what the hell. Or… the black pot forcing the brass kettle to think that it is also black lol. Or both

Maybe I’ll elaborate later if I feel like it… For now, second half for Portugal vs Brazil~!!! *runs downstairs to watch*

Firstly. If I had the choice, I wouldn’t wanna meet him again. Even when we contact through texting, something about his tone just makes me angry. Stupid angry sarcasm from a cold-hearted egoistic male, ouch. It’s already over, but it still disappoints, especially when it feels like I don’t know him anymore. Anyway, yeah, I did NOT have the choice, since he insisted that he’s around when I go pick up Roxiie. Don’t know what for, since he didn’t acknowledge me nor my chica, neither did he help much with the pick up, neither did he bother to say bye to the doggie. So much for courtesy, it’s like a pot calling a kettle black.

Aaanyway! Yay, she’s here! She’s finally here! Went to fetch her last night, with the help of Jocey (thanks babe!). She went absolutely berserk when she saw me. Awww she still remembers me ^^ Me and Jocey were both glad that she’s a calm and sweet dog during her first car ride. She’s not really a barking type of dog, so she’s quiet except when she wants to get your attention. But of course she was a bit howly and whiny during her first night alone in a strange new place. Poor baby hehe. The only thing annoying is that she likes to stand up on her hind legs and ‘hug’ ur arms with her front paws, and do nothing lol.

Dad built her a little shelter at the back porch, at the area where she eats and sleeps. Ok, it’s not so “little” lol. See, looks quite nice huh.

How come Roxiie is not inside posing with it? Well, cause she can’t stay still for long. Plus, she’s always peeking from the window into the house haha! She’s juuuuust tall enough XD
“Hello!”

Walking her in the evening after work is quite therapeutic for me. For half an hour, my mind is actually without thoughts. Just me and my dog, taking a walk outdoors. Pulling her in from chasing cars, distract her from other dogs barking at her, neighbourhood kids making noise at the sight of a dog lol. And for the first time in the few years since we moved to the area, I talked to a neighbour of my generation lol. Even though she lives just across the street, but we’ve never had the reason to speak to each other XD It’s true that dog owners become friends when they cross paths walking their dogs. Hmm… Shall I walk further next time and see if I can bump into a hot single male walking his dog? XP

There’s only one thing on my mind now, and that is…

YES! My baby girl is coming back to me ^^ It is the little mongrel girl formerly known as Hailey lol.

What do I mean by formerly known? Well, dad said that ‘Hailey’ doesn’t sound like a doggie name, and mom said that it sounds similar to my name (family calls me Li) lol. Plus this could be like another step in my “Operation Restart” thingie, so perhaps a rename would be good. After some consideration and voting, it is decided and agreed that she will now be known as… Roxiie!

Oh, how did I end up having her? I’ve always wanted to take her in, ever since the break up. But the parents refused, saying how I can’t handle the responsibility. I let it slide for a while, but it bothered me a whole lot that I missed her so much that I got insomnia just thinking about her. Lol I know, kind of silly, but I got that attached to her, I had no idea. I tried to convince them again, pleading and promising. This time they said ok. Yay I was absolutely thrilled!

Gonna go to Ikano’s biiig pet store this Sunday with Jocey to shop for doggie stuffs. How fun hehe. Then she’s gonna help me with picking up the doggie on Monday night. I need her to help because I can’t control Roxiie when I need to drive half an hour minimum, it’s waaay too far lol. Oooh how exciting ^^ Can’t wait to see her again, I wonder how much bigger she has grown since.

Look at my big girl~!

It’s unbelievably amazing to go to Darling’s house every weekend and see my Hailey bigger than the weekend before. She’s growing up so quickly! You can also see the colour of her fur on her body and patch on her face changing too. I mean, just take a look at the comparison:

New puppy at Darling’s home! She’s so adorable ^^ I picked her up from a rescuer’s house. The girl found a litter of 6 puppies in the streets, the mother nowhere to be found. Hailey is a mongrel, about 2 months old. I guess she has to grow bigger before we can guess what kind of mix she is. But never mind that, she’s still the apple of my eye ♥ my preciousss… Hehe

I miss her already!

So! I had too many unoccupied tanks from the previous fishies that died (sobs). Initially I thought of waiting for the fry to grow bigger, then put them in those tanks. But the other day, I went to the aquarium shop near my office to buy a new heater for the fry’s tank. At the same time, I went too take a look at the betta fishies there. So many pretty ones this time around! Then I decided to just choose one to keep at the office. I spent a good half an hour there just trying to decide which one. In the end, I couldn’t resist and chose 3 haha. First I took these 2 home:

 So so so veeery the BLUE! I named him Atlantic ^^

 Can you see the translucent tips? I named him Stealth!

Then the next morning, I went back to the shop to pick up the other fishy:

 Not a perfect crowntail, but I like the colour. I named this one, Solar.

Oh, my white fry got infected by some disease where all of them got clamped fins. I lost most of them within a week, and was left with only 3! Nyuuuu T_T help~ I sent 2 of them to Darling, and kept 1 with me cause it looked seemingly fine (which I named Uno lol). It was sort of like a trade lol. He gave me another 5 fry from another spawn. 4 siblings, and 1 white. After a day or two, that white one died. Aiyo it must’ve felt like an outcast ^^”’ But the remaining 4 is fine, they’ve been growing too. Then Uno looked like it was unhappy because it didn’t eat or swim much. Lonely? So I put it into the bigger tank with the 4 siblings. It was a lone ranger for a while. Perhaps it knows that the 4 are not of its own kin lol. Its fins clamped a bit (that’s why I bought the heater). I’m just hoping it’s because of the new environment and it’s in a little bit of shock. Didn’t eat much either. Must be about 3 or 4 days until it finally mingled with the others. And it’s eating! Behaving normally already, though its fins are still clamped. Luckily the 4 did not bully Uno

And so… Goliath finally died. It was NOT a pretty sight >.< I have no idea exactly when he died. I just came into the office on Monday morning after the weekend, and found his body floating and rotting. Ugh, sad as I am, I have to say… That was kind of gross ^^”’ The fishes usually sink to the bottom when they just died. I wonder how long it was until he floated to the surface and started to rot… O.o Gosh, I mean, the whole water turned brown!

I replaced him with Hellboy in the office tank. So I have 2 empty tanks at home now, excluding the other tank currently occupied by apple snails. What the heck do I do with them? Keep them until they grow big and eventually die of old age? Lol.
