doggie oh doggie...

Hey hey...



Let me introduce you to my lil friend. Doggie joined our family probably over a year ago. He was brought in by a relative and we were told that he was 3 years old. Doggie, a Pomeranian, is always a cute and sweet friend. Seriously, I have never ever heard him bark. He is afraid of height, he is afraid of any kind of toys. Moreover, he will never run too far away for us to chase.



When I am home, he will then have another friend to play with. And he knows that well for he will always follow wherever my feet go. He will look at you with his big eyes, hoping you would spare some time to play and cuddle him. He loves it.


The truth is... he is already 7 years old, according to a doctor when he fell sick. Recently, there was like an ulcer on the side of his mouth; Doggie lost his appetite. After an X-ray to ensure it was not a tumor, the doctor said it was just an infection and cleaned it up. Doggie was back to normal and his appetite jumped up. He was hungry all the time.



Until....I received mom's message saying that Doggie has a cancer. I am crushed.What will happen?

Oh no... it must be painful and hard for him...



Doggiee........please hang on ya!!! I'll see you soon... hiks hiks

BE STRONG

Life is so unpredictable huh!

One second you are smiling, and the next second you may be crying.
One second you are totally fit, and the next second you may be lying on your bed unable to sit or stand up.

Therefore, for a dear friend there, I am so sorry to hear about it.
Hope he'd be strong and get well soon. It is a heartache to know that your loved one is suffering yet you're unable to do anything. Man, now I feel like telling my parents and loved ones how much I care and love them.... before it is really too late.

I know this is random... but I pray for you and your family's strength. Get well soon ya!
BE STRONG...PLEASE!!

ps: If there's anything...any slightest thing that I can do...please do let me know.

A day like today..

BAD NEWS!
BAD NEWS!
BAD NEWS!

1. Still haven't gotten my letter from the Embassy of Ukraine (from Ukraine) to apply for my visa. Just received an email from the @er there that the Embassy apparently never really stated when they can collect the letter. So, she has been going down to the Embassy a couple of times to no avail. Moreover, the Embassy is only open on Monday and Friday.
** Gosh, so my chance is only this Friday and latest by next Monday or else... I don't even wanna think about it.

2. Went down to the travel agency today to get my itinerary (need it for my Turkey visa application). Give me a shock when the airline cancelled my flight yesterday, and she has not able to get back my seat for 28th -____-' *huhuhuhu* So, she called someone from the airline and checked on the possibility. "Quite tough," she said, adding that it's been over-booked. In the end, she suggested me to travel on 27th instead. I had no choice but to agree, but still I prefer to travel on 28th okay. 27th is very rush for me. She'll contact me back on this.

However, I need to issue the ticket soon too. And how am I gonna do this without knowing my visa status now? Geez... worse still, I will have to pay extra fee should I wanna change the schedule after issuing the ticket. Confused.... Rawrs....

3. Should I pack now? aihh....

Anyway, I rushed from the travel agency to the Turkish Embassy today. The consular opens only till 12noon. So, I took a $4 cab there, not too costly I think. Considering I don't have to walk back to Bugis MRT station, and walk to the Embassy from Raffles Place MRT Station and risk of getting lost among the skycrapers.

I asked if it's gonna take long to reach the Embassy.

'Nothing is long in Singapore,' he replied.

Adding, "... except Lee H**** L***'s pay." --> refering to Spore's latest talk in the country hoo....

Woopppzzz, I just smiled while he continued his 'talk'.

"If the economic is booming, then it's fine. But now, alot of people do not have job. Foreigners are taking away our jobs *forehead wrinkled, brows raised*. He still wants a pay rise when he has already received over 1 million. We only received 1000, you know. And he has received alot of free things. ...

"I just took a foreigner working in Singapore -before I hailed his cab-. He -the passenger- said that everything in Singapore is expensive. He only earns $800/mth, needs to pay his rental, food, and left with $100 to save. But this $100 also goes to transportation. So what for?

The uncle told him to rob a bank *wakaka*. If possible, without being caught ^^'. Oww.. and he added, "I asked him not to tell my name if he got caught."

Then the topic changed to the foreign workers in Singapore. He pitied those blue-collar workers. They paid alot just to get to Singapore, and they ended up being 'cheated' by the agencies. Some need to work for 9 months before they can pay their so-called loan. This reminded me of a friend in Fish n Co who had to pay over $5000 just to come and work in Singapore (FYI, they definitely come from developing country, meaning: $5000 means a fortune to them). She told me that she has a contract of 5 years before she can leave. Imagine that!

Such a fruitful conversation for a $4 cab fare.

When I arrived at SGX Centre level 10, there was a short queue at the one and only counter. No problemo! I just wanna try my luck and see if they'd accept all the documents. No ticket (just itinerary), no accommodation (wait for visa approval before I book), no sponsor's ID (which they said no need..then watever lar).

Met some Australians who are going to Europe for an educational project. Unfortunately, one of the students, a Pinoy, can't enter France without visa. They did not know this as the travel agency back in Perth did not mention anything at all (Australians do not need a visa to enter though). So, she was stranded at the airport the day before *poor girl :( . The France embassy refused to assist and they had to call for help from their Australia's Ministry *woww...so cool.*

It must be a stressful incident for the girl. She was quiet, but I could sense the fear from her body language. What if she could not get the visa and being left behind? The rest of the team has flown to France the day before, and so she was there with another two Australians. These two Australians are leaving soon too, if I'm not wrong... Saturday, I heard the lady told the Embassy staff. Thanks God that the Turkish Embassy is much nicer than some of the Embassies. They will process her application within today. She can collect it today and hopefully she can fly to Istanbul with the other two and wait for the rest of the team there. As of her France trip..."It's being processed by the Ministry, see what they can do," I was told.

What an experience! It was a nice conversation with the three of them. I told them to go to Esplanade while waiting for her visa. They can even eat at Lau Pa Sat which is just across the street and try Singapore's local delight. I wished them the very best and waved them goodbye under the rain.

And there I was, stranded under the rain without an umbrella. Nowhere to go and it was lunch time. I could see all the working professionals around the area in their formal wear. Restaurants and cafe were full with long queues still. I ended up waiting at MPH bookstore, browsing through the Korean Dictionary *wahaha*.

Well... whether or not I am flying next week, I still need to move out of this room. So...let's pack beibs!

S.O.S 1: Anyone free this Friday, 3-4pm? I have my paper on and my Turkey visa is ready for collection.
S.O.S 2: Anyone free this Sunday evening? I need some muscles to help me here..
S.O.S 3: I still don't mind having kind souls lending me your book collections *hee..



Give me my letter soonest please....hiks hiks

14 days...a yes or no?

Supposedly 14 days from now...I'll be on my way.

Yet, I'm still waiting for the letter. Hoping I'd get it latest by Monday.

I have relented to go for the 'express' way in getting my visa once I received the letter. That means forking out more money.

After which I shall issue my flight ticket, for fear that they will cancel it for the third times.

Start preparing the documents to apply for Turkey's transit visa. I can stopover there and spend 3 days before returning to the red dot.

And maybe..If I'm lucky enough, I will be given a chance to pay Czech Republic a visit.

Let's hope for this dream to come true.

Ah, meanwhile.... All the very best for your exams, be it the final one, or just your initial testing ground.

An end is the beginning of an end.

1.5 month is short

Things to do in less than 1.5 month:

Study:
Quickly finish this and move on... Say bye say bye :)
AIESEC:

Not being able to do proper transition with the new EB team, to support the members for the upcoming 'are you afrAIDS' event, to miss the Asia Pacific MC Transition Camp in Malaysia, to leave before the official ending of the term, .... I feel horrible. Blue oh so blue...


Preparation to Ukraine:
Super-excited to be able to move on to another stage of my AIESEC XP. To really experience myself what it is like to go for an overseas internship, to proudly share about your country/culture/people, to make direct impacts on those people you meet in your journey,...

Everythig comes with a price to pay.... but guess it all worths it.


Life:
The thought of packing my 'assets' after staying in NTU for almost 4 years is scary. I have no idea how long I will take, how many bags and boxes for all, how to move them all, and how to 'leave behind' things that may not be that useful anymore in the future... In less than 1.5month, I am leaving to Ukraine and will stay there for almost 3 months.

Thanks much roomie for all the things you've done. We are both busy people. A year spent in the same room, but many times it's not occupied by both of us. From Poland-Msia-Indo trips. But I am very grateful that I had the chance to stay with you and spend those times together. Keep striving!

Friends... gambarimasyou!

In 1.5month, I will fly my way to a new land alone. I may be the one to represent Singapore, to represent Indonesia or even Malaysia... or maybe I will be the one to represent Asia. Wish I could do the very best.

I am leaving for that period, but rest-assured... I will COME BACK! and I hope...you guys are stronger and better than ever by then.

Would it be my last?

No matter how much you love it, sometimes you just have to it let go.


Same goes for APXPRO or APXLDS [AIESEC's Asia Pacific conference].
I went for APXPRO last year in Phillippines carrying my Local Committee President elect title, but this year I don't think I will be able to attend the India's APX with my 4-more months title.

I do not have the chance to enjoy being an APXLDS delegate [which is more relaxed and less intense, and comes with lotsa dances and roll calls], and maybe.... maybe last December's @SIPO NLDS was my final conference.

M..A..Y..B..E...!
and I don't like this 'MAYBE'.

Why do we have the Water Day event on 22nd March? Why must we do this project instead of tons of other projects out there? Will you let me take a week's leave from school? Will you penalize me for doing so? Do you need me here? CAN I GO? SHOULD I GO?

Why do I wanna go heh?


No matter how much you love it, sometimes you just have to it let go.

ps: Wish you guys all the very best from the depth of my heart. Wish you all the best blessings, and the strongest heart and will ever. I wish I could do more... but I don't know how. PISSED!
