Happy 20th birthday to 2 of my closest friends, Shi Ying & Jun Hong.

Its been a long long time back since we got to know each other and formed a clique of 8. Amazing, right? now that the guys are serving the NS, its up to us girls to bond even closer. Though we seldom meet up (mostly on special occasions), we do still miss each other (errr... hope i'm not wrong =x) Anyway, i really miss em'. it will be a week later that we'll get to meet up since most of us are super broke now (check the calender, it says "poor period"). Till then....

Well, my dear James will be going back to reservist on monday for 5 FREAKING LONG DAYS! Hate the army! to take my boy away from me =(
(pls dun sue me yea. I'm not as free as YOU).
how???? I'll be so moody till his return lah. coz i wont be able to get a dosage of him every night. *ahem* I'm referring to his call yea. Sigh~ I'm missing him already.....

Btw, Momo puked just now. My mum fed him with pig intestines. Think he cant digest it coz the intestines was still intact when i was clearing his puke. Poor momo~
Do you know that, apart from chocolates that are toxic to dogs, grapes are also toxic to them? read the below excerpt i got from SPCA's website.
Thank gawd that momo was alright the other time i fed him grapes (i didn't know that he cant eat grapes). Just make sure that your dog drinks plenty of water if you happens to feed him grapes (in small amount). If he/she has taken in a considerable amount, pls pls pls take him to the vet. Don't let him suffer.

Excerpt:
"Why can't I feed my dog chocolate or grapes?

Chocolate contains Theobromine, a chemical that is toxic to dogs. Chocolate toxicity is dose-dependent. This means that it varies according to individual sensitivity, animal size, type of chocolate, and amount of chocolate ingested.

Chocolate toxicity potentially causes:
excitement,
nervousness,
restlessness,
vomiting,
diarrhoea,
muscle spasm,
seizures,
increased thirst,
increased urination,
increased heart rate,
heart rhythm abnormalities,
coma,
death.

Grapes and raisins can cause toxic reactions in dogs. The toxicity is also dose-dependent. The exact mechanism is still unknown. Grape and raisin toxicity causes gastrointestinal upsets first then progresses to sudden kidney failure and death.

signs include:
vomiting,
diarrhea,
anorexia,
lethargy,
depression,
abdominal pain,
tremors,
increased urination and increased drinking.

Hence, it is safest not to feed your dog any amount of chocolate, grapes or raisins. Should your dog ingest any of the above, you need to contact your vet immediately."
