Hmm.

Melvin and I are really looking forward to bringing puppy home. There's just one itty bitty glitch. His parents are objecting, rather violently, to the purchase of puppy. Ok fine, not so itty bitty..

How did we get into this mess? We thought we'll be able to convince his parents of letting us have a puppy. It's our money after all (mine, really - Melvin hasn't paid a cent so far) and we're perfectly capable of taking care of a dog. Ok... SOMEWHAT capable... *pause*

I can see people raising eyebrows here.

Fiiinnneee. We'll LEARN and maybe the dog won't die in our hands. there. happy?

We had two weeks to 'suggest' we want a dog, without telling them we've already bought it *cringe*

Melvin's idea *points*

It hasn't been working so well. And now, we have a week left.

Of course, one option is to collect the puppy and leave it at Glenn's place. But Lana is overexcitable, and placing an overexcitable golden retriever weighing 25kg with my rather small westie puppy in the same room doesn't bode well for the puppy's health.

*sigh*

On another note, I'd wanted to post some pictures of our trip to Melb/Syd, but the pictures are in the desktop at home. And whenever I get home, it's like "Warhammer!" and I forget all about the pictures.

Warhammer isn't a fantastic game though. The controls aren't as polished as WoW, and while PvP is fun for now, I can foresee that we'll all get bored with it in a few months.

And would you believe we haven't had sex since we started on Warhammer? We play until we're all sleepy and collapse in bed.

Hmm. Probably too much info there - but I needed to complain.

I'm meeting a few colleagues for dinner tomorrow and I really hope that doesn't turn out TOO awkward. I tend to end up blending in with the wall/tablecloth/chair/whatever inanimate object at such social gatherings.

Cath's EQ = 0.

Well, that was a lovely trip to Australia.

I just got back from 2 weeks of shivering in Sydney and Melbourne. Was fantastic.
Spent over a thousand bucks. I feel poor now.

My thoughts are also quite.. fragmented at the moment, as you can tell.
ok.. *takes a deep breath*

Holiday Recap

Sydney -

Spent most of the time catching up with Andy/Delia/Preetam. Donated some money to the casino. Attended Melvin's graduation (like, finally).

Melbourne -

Stayed at a backpacker's (Cooee at the St Kilda. Lovely place!), but paid premium price for a twin, private ensuite room.

Donated MORE money to the casino.

Rented a car and Melvin drove us to Ballarat, an old town which flourished during the gold rush, and we spent a very very lovely day at Souvereign Hill pretending we were back in the 1800s.

Saw PENGUINS! loads and loads of them scurrying across the beach at night. I love how the penguins gather at the edge of the water, then run as a group for their lives across the beach, into the grass. The slower ones tend to speed up after they realise they've been left behind (wait for meee!! Wait for meeee!! *zips forward*) Some fall asleep while walking back to their burrows :P absolutely adorable. One group got harrassed by seagulls and retreated quickly back into the ocean. haha.

Back in SG -

Paid $500 deposit for a westie. I feel poor now. Will have to pay another $800 when I pick her up in 2 weeks. Melvin wants to call her Misty. My vote is on Genie. What say you?

We bought Warhammer Online today. It's been patching for 4 hours now. And still at 83% *growl* I'm going to go for the Archmage, while Melvin's going for Shadow.. something. shadowdancer? and Jeremy's going for some tank class (he hasn't decided)

Jen/Kf: if you read this, come join us on Warhammer Online!
