Weird boy

I met a very weird boy recently. I am beginning to wonder if he is working too hard or he has so many friends that he don't remember what he actually said to me. Whatever it is, I prefer to believe it's the first reason....worked too hard.

On Sep 14 (4.09pm), he asked if I want to go for night trekking. At 4.15pm, I replied that I want. Hearing no news from him, I texted him again at 8.06pm asking if there is any more trekking. He responded at 8.06pm saying that a certain friend said that if it's Saturday night, he want. This weird boy added at 8.09pm that it's confirm Saturday and maybe we can go for dinner too if we want. I responded at the same time that I'm ok with the arrangement and that he discuss with that certain friend.

On Sep 16 (12.27am), this weird guy asked what I'll be doing on Saturday. (My heart skipped a bit. And all those questions marks on my head almost smashed down and killed me. I wanted to respond with 'What do you mean what I'll be doing on Saturday??? I thought we had a confirmed activity???' But I didn't want to be nasty and I guess, my existence only came into place when the coach decides to get the reserves (which is me) out in the field to replace the main player who is tired. Anyway, I replied at 12.28am that I'll be trekking with him (hopefully that will ring a bell...but well...it didn't..lol). He responded almost immediately that they are going to Sungei Buloh and asked if I'm keen to join. (Narrator: this is the part where I get really confused because as far as I know, Sungei Buloh does not open at night. So just to make sure that I catch the ball, I went on to ask if it's a pre-night trek activity or that's the trekking activity itself). Anyway to cut the story short, I reminded him that the other time when he was talking to me about the trek, it was a night trek. He replied at 12.30am that it cannot be coz Sungei Buloh is not open at night.

The entire conversation really made me look stupid. As if I made the whole thing up. This is one character flaw of mine I need to change. I always take people's words seriously....I believe it's time I learn to take words like a pinch of salt. Else, I'll end up miserable and I'm not suppose to be miserable.

Anyway, for this case...I choose to believe that he didn't forget about me or about what we communicated. He was just teasing me. I'm his sis, how can he possibly forget me right? I'm suppose to be his confidante!!! I'm giving myself up to 11am to be upset and petty. When I open my eyes later, I must already let this issue go.

I'm a Yellow

Did a Color Code Personality test the other day....yup, I can't remember which day but someday...and got this result. Quite interesting, I should say. But not sure how true this can be. Anyway, here's the result.

Yellows (Motive: Fun)

Yellows are motivated by Fun. They are inviting and embrace life as a party that they're hosting. They love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable. They are highly persuasive and seek instant gratification. Yellows need to be adored and praised. While yellows are carefree, they are sensitive and highly alert to others' agendas to control them. Yellows typically carry within themselves the gift of a good heart.

Yellows need to look good socially, and friendships command a high priority in their lives. Yellows are happy, articulate, engaging of others and crave adventure. Easily distracted, they can never sit still for long. They embrace each day in the "present tense" and choose people who, like themselves, enjoy a curious nature. Yellows are charismatic, spontaneous, and positive; but can also be irresponsible, obnoxious, and forgetful. When you deal with a YELLOW, take a positive, upbeat approach and promote light-hearted, creative, and fun interactions.

Lost and found: Snail Episode

My snail ran away from home last night when I slept. I panicked when I realised that it wasn't in the tank anymore. The first thing I do when I wake up everyday is to go to my tank of seafood and say hi. Imagine my shocked when I did a roll call and one item went missing. Thank goodness I activated my rescue party (ie. my dog) who found my snail stuck to one of the drawers. My dog is a fantastic hunter dog for lizards, roaches, bugs...etc but this is the first time she need to hunt for snail and I'm impressed! She deserves a good pat on her head for a job well done.

I think it's very happy to be home. When I finally put it back to the tank, it was happily hugging the sand. It was trying to grab as many as possible. I thought it was trying to kiss home ground. The grass is not always greener on the other side. I hope my snail learns it's mistake. Home is still the best.

As if not enough snail story for the day, I had Escargot for dinner. I'm not really an Escargot person but since someone ordered, I'll just take. I'm a libra so I'm better known for doing all I could to maintain peace. You will never see me in a big argument. So if majority orders something I don't like, I will still eat :) Still not a fan of Escargot though....I felt like I was eating my own pet.

Movie: Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi

It's the 19th Israel Film Festival so a friend suggested watching Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi. I was quite apprehensive initially because it's in Hebrew and of course, that's the hardest possible language to learn...which means, I didn't learn it! Which also leads me to not being able to understand...and so I thought. I chose to go in the end coz I was dying for group outings...oh alright, high I people are too sociable to be left alone. Anyways, the movie proves to be worth watching and best of all, it came with English subtitles after about 10 minutes into the show. The fella in the projection room forgot to on the subtitles. Love how humor was injected into the show at the right time and it got teary towards the end when grandpa died. The entire story unfolded steadily. It is no wonder that this movie has a list of Nominations and Awards to it's name: Nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Film, Best Music, Best Screenplay, Best Sound, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress at 2003 Israeli Film Academy Awards.

Anyway, I found a cute guy sitting next to me on my way to the movie theatre. As I couldn't resist cute guys, I was so tempted to give him a big big smooch if not for the fact that he is my bro! hahaha....shucks isn't it? Oh well, that's life *grin*....*BIG GRIN* Damn, he looks good in office wear...white top somemore!

Shrimps new changing room

And so, after less than a week, my cute little pets have found a place they could change. Not sure why but most of them prefers that corner of the tank. I saw one fella molting earlier today but I was too late. When I manage to get the camera, greenie finished molting! Nonetheless, I took a picture of their changing room.I even caught a picture of mama shrimp playing with the eggs in her tummy. It just went up and down her legs. I wonder why she does that.The shrimps are so cute. It is just so awesome watching them eat, fight and dart from one end of the tank to another. Nope, it's not a huge tank...it's a nano tank. I've even put a low chair infront of the tank. It's my viewing gallery :p

Contagion - Bacteria Billboard

This is one of the largest petri dish I've ever come across!!! Pictures Canada teamed up with microbiologists and immunologists from around the world to create a one-of-a-kind bacteria message board located at 409 Queen Street West in an abandoned store-front window. On August 28th, two large Petri dishes were inoculated with live bacteria including penicillin, mold and pigmented bacteria and almost overnight have revealed the true Contagion -- an artistic interpretation of the spread of a virus as depicted in the film. Yucks!!!!!

Passing of a shrimp and new shrimps on board

One of my shrimps passed away today. I don't know why. It could be because I wasn't a good owner. I mean, if my terrapin, hamster and cactus could die on me...why not a shrimp? It's quite discouraging that my shrimp died a day after being in my care. Nonetheless, the more I look at it, the more it reminds me of prawn noodles. Except that this would be a really tiny bowl.So to encourage me and to replace my dead shrimp, my favorite guy gave me 8 more shrimps and they are green...abit translucent too.On top of the new shrimps, he also gave me shrimp food. I tried to give to my pets and they love it. This picture shows them feasting.
They love to share. Look! They are sharing foodLearn something new today. So a shrimp changing clothes is called Molting! I always thought that molting has got something to do with melting. Today's the 2nd day and I've found 2 transparent clothes.

Upon the arrival of the shrimps, I have started to read up on other shrimps. Some links were from that cutesy bro (yah, my favorite guy...the one with the dimples) and some were from my best friend, google! I hope they survived and breed so that I can have a whole tank full of colorful shrimps! I've even got Christmas decorations for the tank :) My pet shrimps are going to celebrate Christmas ^_^
