Deborah and i brought Salt to visit a vet at Jalan Kayu. Salt's been getting patches of bald, and I've been giving her Velcote but the hair's not growing back and Deborah felt something was wrong. I didn't think much of it cos Pepper's ok and if it's anything serious Pepper would be bald too!
Anyway we went to the vet, and she checked for fungus using the ultra-violet light. But there was nothing, so she scrapped the skin to test for mites. She didn't find any mites, but there was 1 louse.
Her conclusion is that Salt is stressed, based on the fact that the hair patches are like chopped off hair and there was only 1 louse.
So I've been told to give her vitamin supplements and treat her with lice powder. Silly Salt, giving herself haircuts...
Anyway after that i went to this shop (that we walked pass earlier) to buy some otah. When i ask the uncle how much, he said San Shi Yi Qwai. I was like HUH? 31 dollars for 1 dozen otah??! Wah what kind of special otah is this. And he was like then Ni Yao Two Shao. It turned out that he said San Zi Yi Qwai! 3-for-$1
Stupid Uncle! i thought my mandarin sucks but i think his super cannot make it! Then after a long time he finally start packing my otah, and you know what's the best part? While he was filling my plastic bag with otah, he dropped one on the floor, and after filling my bag, he put it back into the box!!!! EEEKS!!!! It's just one of those things you wished you didnt see....

Driving Lesson #7
I've completed stage 1!! Now there's only 3 more stages to go, once those are done and my final theory is completed then it's driving test time!!!
Things seems to be proceed quite fast, but i think it's the ease of driving an auto car. No stalling, no rolling down the slope, no worries about constant gear changes & no third pedal to step on!

This is gonna be 1 of those self-praise posts so if you cannot tahan me being buay huai bai, then better not read on! ;p
*end warning*
Recently i went out for dinner with some ex-colleagues and was told by 1 of them that an associate of the ex-coy thought i was a good worker! Man, that made my night!
And even more recently, I've been head-hunted (in a manner of speaking lah)!! Makes me feel... i can't find the word for it, the closest i can come too is appreciated.
Now and then i've had some self-doubts, but now i'm feeling pretty confident.
*FLOATING*

MC Corn Muffins
I woke up super early this morning to bake some corn muffins for breakfast. I practically had to crawl out of bed at 7:30 (and the alarm was actually set for 7:00!!). Maybe it's not early to some of you, but hey it's Sunday Morning and people usually do not wake up that early on Sundays!!
I'm still on my quest to find instant mixes that taste close to the Kenny Roger's style of corn muffins. This time i used Marie Callender's corn bread mix.
The result... it's definately more moist and buttery tasting then the Jiffy Mix that I tried, but it's still not what I'm looking for. Dad found them salty... (wierd, no one else did! But I think it may be the buttery taste), and Russell complain that they were not sweet enough for muffins. Well Russell, you DON'T have to eat them!!! ;p
Hehe i'm sensitive to people criticising my cooking, I don't mind criticising my own cooking, but when people don't cook and only criticise it makes fire come out from my ears, especially when I never hear anything good from him! @#$%^&*() Fussy Fellow!!!!
And it takes forever to bake!! The instructions said 15-20 mins but it was more like 20-25 mins. I got lazy and fed up with the waiting and checking so the 2nd-3rd batch so are a bit chao tao (I think you can see it from the picture hehe).

Driving Lesson #5
Time for some updates on my driving lessons! Okie I managed to get pass lesson 4 hehe. It's like different instructors kinda tell you different things on turning some say follow the line, some say enter the turn then turn your wheel, others say turn the wheel X times.
But what works best for me so far is aga aga hehe.
And yesterday I got to go out and drive around!!! Hehe bet all the drivers around were cursing at the slow learning car and murmuring "Female Driver...".
I've got my 1st project!!
I'm currently doing this virtual assistant thingy (yes, i know the web design sucks but i suck at design), and when my ex-colleague, W asked if I wanted to do a software project , I jumped at the chance. So this is alt.office's 1st project!!
Somehow I wasn't too worried that I'd very rusty and unable to code out the software. I've been hard at work since Tue night. Progress is not that fast because I'm rusty, it's like I know what I want to do but I can't remember the exact statements, so quite some time was spent searching for code statements at the start.
It's was all very rushed because the basic system had to be out by today for W's show & tell meeting. The thing that has been bogging the project down is changes. W doesn't know exactly what he wants, but that because he doesn't have all the information either. It seems like no one knows what the system really needs to keep track of, but hopefully this will change soon.
Anyway the most shocking thing is.... I've not played any DotA game since Tue afternoon!! Before that it was like I played for hours and hours everyday and now not a single game!! Most amazing of all (to me), is that I've not had any withdrawal symptoms!
Now I lack sleep not because of gaming but because I have to rush the project. It suddenly strikes me that I'm older as I remember how I can go without much sleep last time and rush projects without falling sick.... but I shall not think too much about that, self denial is always good hahaha

Driving Lesson #1
Just got back from my 1st driving lesson. OMG!!! I was super super nervous. The instructor showed me how to get in the car and adjust stuffs. Then I got to drive the car back & front, which was not too difficult. Then I had to go round the circuit, and that was TOUGH!
There's so many things to do at the same time. Look at the road infront, glance left and right to make sure you're centralised. Continually adjust the car, dont turn too much at a time. Argh, I just couldn't seem to get my turns right, and I kept on being distracted by the other cars. Think I was kinda afraid that they will boing into me. HIaz... Looks like I'm gonna be stuck at section 4 for quite some time zzz.
