Kitten Fiasco
David (my cousin) discovered 4 baby kittens in his bathroom last weekend and hence, he decided to keep them until they grow older. Nobody knows for real how those kittens actually got there, because Aunty Olive mentioned that they discovered the kittens in the strangest place — under the bathtub! I was not very surprised to hear that as, after all, their house is located in a rather secluded area where many stray animals roam.
I dropped by David’s house to play with the kittens and I couldn’t stop gushing over them. I have never seen such tiny kittens in my life. All four of them were so cute and furry and I couldn’t stop cuddling them. One particular kitten was so active that he couldn’t stop frisking around. At one point, he did a little somersault at the kitchen doorway while David shrieked in surprise. The little black kitten is the most intelligent of all and he could easily find his way around the house even though we left him alone for a while. Another brown kitten would continuously claw at me each time I tried to feed him with the milk bottle. Last but not least, there is a little white kitten which I can only describe as being “blur”, nothing else.
I carried two kittens on my lap and settled on the couch to watch the finale of “Baby Boom”. At one point, I felt a sense of uneasiness, like as though I was being watched by someone. I looked down and saw the little innocent eyes of the black kitten staring at me. When I caught his gaze, he mewed softly and snuggled into my T-Shirt. The grey kitten beside it then yawned and fell asleep again. David sat beside me with the brown and white kittens sound asleep on his lap as well.
The kittens were wide awake once again by the time the show ended and since we had run out of things to do, Merle, David and I decided to have a little “kitten race”. We positioned the kittens at one end of the living room, creating a finishing line near the other end and started the race. However, this “race” didn’t go very well as these little kittens obviously don’t realise that the shortest path between two points is a straight line. They were crawling everywhere except making their way to the finish line. The little white kitten crawled into David’s smelly school shoes and made himself comfortable while two kittens crawled behind the piano, refusing to come out. Merle carried the brown kitten and tried to feed him with the bottle again, and that was the time when the kitten decided to empty its bowels. A rather large pool of yellow liquid was slowly forming in the middle of the living room with David complaining with disgust.
Thank goodness it didn’t stain the living room rug!
A really eventful day which managed to divert my thoughts away from my promotional exams. Speaking of the promotional exams, I completely screwed up the Physics Paper 1 which was held today as well. I couldn’t answer 35% of the questions and thus, had to make wild guesses for most of them. In other words, teekam. This is really a hopeless case…
The horrible stench of body odour never fails to plague me whenever I descend the stairs from my apartment to the ground floor, all thanks to my third floor neighbour. My block is designed in such a way that the area which I am living at only has one apartment at every level, thus providing us with extra privacy. So my third-floor neighbour is constantly using the area outside his flat to air-dry his clothing. Sadly though, I have to pass that area each time I descend the stairs and I am always greeted with that usual stench — the strong scent of drying sweat as well as my neighbour’s body odour.
This is the reason why I am always running down the stairs at top speed whenever I go out, ending up huffing and puffing at the bottom flight of stairs. Unless I can prescribe a better remedy to counter the stench, which is to purchase a endless stock of face masks even though the SARS period is over.
My Promotional Physics Paper 1, the very last paper would be held tomorrow and the past two days of endless slacking is starting to make me feel very guilty. Had been very complacent because the paper would only consist of MCQ questions, which I presumed would be “very easy” as compared to the extremely tough paper 2 which I faced on Monday. The rest of today would be devoted to revising and going through my entire stack of notes. I am counting on this particular paper to make up for the way I messed up the Physics Paper 2. I am sincerely praying hard that I wouldn’t wind up with a mental block when I come face to face with the exam questions tomorrow.
The end of the last paper would be followed by a full week on plain enjoyment and relaxation before I start my revision for the GCE AO Level Chinese paper which would be held on November 7. I definitely deserve this break after a full 5 month preparation for the Promotional Exams. After which, the long November cum December holidays would come along, as well as my family trip to Genting and Cameron Highlands. My mother also mentioned that my relatives and I would be spending one weekend at a local resort as a simple “getaway” in addition to the Malaysia trip, so that is something which I can look forward to.
Not to forget the huge shopping spree which I would be embarking on with effect from tomorrow afternoon as I haven’t shopped for almost 4 months. I have so many things which I need to buy, inclusive of a windbreaker, a pouch, a sling bag as well as a few more T-Shirts. All this shopping might cause me to go broke, but this is an excellent way to indulge and destress myself after an excruciating long period of studying.
But before I start gearing myself up for the upcoming holidays, I’ll have to clear my remaining exams. Now just to clear them, but also to pass my examinations with good results, so that I can enjoy my 2 month long holiday guilt-free.
It’s high time for a redesign, so after much consideration I finally decided to load Version 22 when its initial lauch date was intended for November 20th. It has been a long time since I made any design in orange, so I decided to use that colour scheme for this design. Comments on this design are appreciated.
Having two days off from school since there aren’t any papers today and tomorrow. I am still brooding over how badly I had done in the promotional examinations, but speaking to Shishi and Yao Long on MSN last night cheered me up a little bit. Xian Zhi and Swee Wah also left me a few messages by the Tampines JC Webportal and I felt so touched, knowing that there are people out there who actually care. But I’ll still have to wait and see when the results are being released the following week. All I need is 2A and 2AO passes in order to get promoted to Year 2. I really don’t want to get retained.
On another note, I am starting to get really annoyed with the spam email which I am constantly receiving in my inbox, especially this particular one which I had received today…
“There appears to be a problem on this page:

This email was sent by someone named Connie Davis who is representing Internetseer.com. Who are they and why are they examining my domain for? And how on earth did they get hold of my email address when I did not display the address on this domain? I just don’t understand why some online companies can’t respect my privacy. I have also received a spam email from one company in the past who informed me that they had obtained by email address by searching through the domain WHOIS records which are available since the email was unmentioned on this site.
Why can’t these spam companies just leave me alone? There is a specific purpose as to why I leave out my email address on this site and yet they go one step further to intrude into my privacy.
