Hm, incase some of you do not know, I am currently selling stuff @ pushcart. Been as busy as a bee. Busier than before, infact. To summarise, I have no off days, go toilet only once in afternoon and eat dinner @ pushcart fast fast. I can't rem when I got to eat slowly during dinner le haha... Btw I am not complaining, after all it is my business. I just want my friends to know that I absolutely do not have time to meet them since I am working everyday.
My day:
9am: Wake up slack...
10.30am: Go work
11am: Start of work. Lay out the new goods.
3pm: Go toilet
7pm: Dinner
9pm: Pack up
10pm: Order more new goods
10.30pm: Pack/sort goods to bring the next day
11.30pm: Bathe
1am: Sleep....
So you see. Im a bumble bee...

8th May 09
Been some time since Stellar's passing. Hm I thought maybe I can talk about how special it was to me, just so that the reader (you) can understand how unique it was...
Not easy to have pet in my family since my parents are anti-pets pranks. My dog only lasted 1 week before being let go (wild puppy who was injured & doctored by us). So when Stellar first came, my mum didn't allow it to sit on sofa, cushioned seats on basis that it was dirty. Luckily she did not have any excuse to remove it as Stellar learnt to go to toilet at pet litter area once we taught it.
This pesky creature also loved to bite ppl. It bit my bro, who kicked it away, which made it attack my bro again. Harrowing events to a start, with my bro shouting at the cat. (but the cat doesn't bite me when its sleeping with me).
Still, it knows to greet family members when they arrive back home (except my bro. they just ignore each other) in its nonchalent cat way. If you are the only 1 in the house, you will notice the cat is always in the same room as you, but not needily so. It just wants company but doesn't need you to play with it.
Stellar also knew how to chase after balls, like a dog. It could carry its favourite chew toy around so that it could chew it anywhere. Over time, it was the favoured child of the family... My mum gave it fish and scallops, my dad was the morning feeder and I was the wet food feeder. Shicai just irritates the cat. For my wet food feeding, I would bring out its dish and spoon, and it would immediately go to the kitchen to wait at microwave area.
It was a greedy cat. When we eat at the dinning table, if there was any vacancies, Stellar would jump onto the vacant chair and wait expectantly.. Not that we feed it :P It also slowly took over all the furniture for sleeping. Sofa, my bed, cushion chairs.. My mum placed towels specifically over its sleeping areas. If you are occupying its sleeping area, the cat would pointedly walk infront of you AFEW times, just so you would give up the area.
We would wipe its butt after it shits. So everytime it shits, it would be watching out for us. And run !! once its done. Tell me, would a dog have such attitude?
When someone unknown is outside the door, the cat would look at you and then walk to the door (& look at you again). How smart the cat is right...
It loved plastic bags. Hang one up and it would hop into it. Literally a cat in the bag. My mum would carry the cat bag around just for fun & it would stay inside.
Somehow it became friends with the neighbours, even so as to going into the neighbour's house. It knew my mum didn't like that & if we walk pass the house, it would hide itself.
It had free access to the outside world & loved to explore the floors of my HDB block. To call it back, we would ring our keys at the stair well. You would see a cat's head popping out afew storeys up, looking down to see if we are below. Then it would run down, popping its head out at every floor.
If I had to go & find it, all I had to do was ring my keys and walked up the stairs and soon I would see it. Infact we walk down together, with Stellar always making sure it reaches the next floor first. Then it would chill flat on the floor & look at you: why are you so slow?
After every trip to the vet, the cat would sulk for a day. Ignoring us & not rubbing against our legs (even if we tempt him with food). How like a human right?
Most importantly, it was there for each of us (even my bro I guess). It would paw against the door if you didn't wake up at your regular timing. In the morning, when my dad awakes, it would rub against his legs, sit on the washing machine whilst he is brushing his teeth & wait outside the toilet for him. He was so glad to see the 1st person of the day.
When I have off days and awaken at late morning, once I open my eyes, I see Stellar walking into my room... How weird, I did not even move - how did he even know?
It was disciplined by 2nd floor stray cat at one time, for being unruly in cat behaviour I guess. Ever since, it had been wary of new cats. If there is prescence of cats nearby, the rascal would obediently stay in our house, not venturing out till coast is SUPER CLEAR, afew hours after the cats were gone.
Yup thats all I want to write. Night everyone...

Stellar (Oct 08 to Mar 09)
Hi All, Stellar died yesterday after falling down from my bedroom window. Am still grieving for it. Especially since it was fine one moment and gone the next... All the what ifs passed through my head the whole night. My dearest darling Stellar, whom I have been hugging just yesterday and slept afternoon nap with, is no longer around to accompany my family.
No silly cat to greet you when you arrive home, wake up or simply step out of the bathroom. No cat to hug and touch noses with. No cat to bite me just cos' it wants to...
Thank you Stellar for having been with us, we love you so much, even my parents... sadly its ironic that my parents are overseas at moment and they do not know of this news yet.
May you rest in peace in Heaven.

Stellar!
Hi, incase this is news to you, I have a kitten! (for the past 6 wks already I think). Its a black male, grand total age is abt 3 months and is super naughty...
Given to me by Shicai. His classmate found the sickly mother cat & 3 kittens; kittens were up for adoption as mother cat was too ill to take care of them.
Quite a handsome cat. Yeah it sleeps with me on the bed but its more like I'm squashing it... Likes to bite too. Likes to follow ppl ard when its in the mood. I think its a half cat half dog. Stares & meows at you when you are eating... Hm and meows till like wanna die when we bathe it...
Been wandering ard my neighbours too. Saw my neighbours playing with it. Disloyal cat!
Bro hates it. But I dun care. Its my darling cat haha...

2nd Oct 2008
You know how when you thought you know someone, that someone proves you wrong? Maybe its just me... That I have been too naive/nice/shallow/inexperience to see beyond the surface of things/relations/people. That I expect & believe people are nice till proven wrong, so much so that I find excuses for their behaviour ... That what was in the past may not be what is now... That people change... That you should see beyond how people treat yourself, instead see how people treat everyone to know their character...
One of my colleagues left in September. Still kinda miss him, because there are very few such nice considerate people at my workplace that I can relate to. With my current lack of enthuse in work, I am not sure if I may push myself deeper into becoming depressed. But I know I have a high level of mental endurance, its just that sometimes its so painful but I cannot cry (since at work you see) that my heart is just crying silently. I guess it is just my gloomy perspective, enforced by peer pressure & to meet work standards & projects.
Of course, I have my counter-balances. I believe my character leans towards joy & optimism by nature, thus if I cannot find it at work, work becomes secondary to me. (Alas my boss & seniors dun think so, thus OT is still in sigh) I have my books, my friends, my family and my dear darling for comfort. Ha even spending a day at home resting, with family or a book or by myself is enough to bring my spirits back up.
Ha and this is only my 1st job... There are layers & layers of truths in the workplace, one can never be sure what is really happening. Who said you needed passion in work? I believe at least 50% of people out there do not have passion in their jobs. To students out there, please DO NOT believe that your 1st job will be a rose-tinted experience, the more pragmatic you are, the less hit you will be. Maybe someday I will find my calling. Currently I am just trying to fit into the rat race, be it if I am the last rat in the race, as long as I have tried my best & am contented with my life, who has the rights to reprimand me for being the last rat?
I am still me, just a tired and maybe weary me.
