bING bING bIANG bIANG !!!
I almost neglected my blog here since I came back from Melbourne !!!...
Beside uploading all the pix at FP, and bitching about what happened there, we kind of missed the whole houseboating feeling... The weather, the whole experience, less 'that' irritating factor, of which I shall not elaborate here...it was a ok trip....
For the record, I don't like Melbourne city.....
From the moment I started work 1 week ago....! I lost track of time & events !!....
It was boomz boomz boomz !!!!..... work, sleep, work, sleep, etc.....
Meeting my new class for the first time last Mon, submit proposals/ideas for next year training needs, conducting the usual classes, sitting into directors focus group for a new program next year and just last Sat, we had our full day annual planning meeting.... So my last Sat burned....
I was just mentally drained big time !!!..... At times, my brain just refuse to think or process !!!...
Guess I may not have rested properly since last Monday.....
Once I collect my thoughts....I'll come round here bitching again....

Yes, we are back....
Before I go into my long winded mode.... I just wanna regurgitate my post-trip experience of Melbourne Australia....
- EXPENSIVE shopping !!! Even after the 'marked down' prices in DFOs... (Direct Factory Outlets) Its not worth the value !!!
- Shopping : Boring, fashion and trend not relevant to Asia's style... Unless we want to wear high boots or thick jacket to office...
- Cost of living very high : Coffee A$3.00 (long black); S'pore kopi-o S$0.80
- Tram fares : A$3+ per trip....
- Typical Lunch at Collins St.... A$10-15 per meal...
- Besides Crown Casino in town, there's nothing much to offer....after 6pm...
- Things in Queen Victoria Mkt, after all its a market, don't suppose we need to buy fresh groceries or sausages.... Maybe bags of nuts or chocolates... But they are not cheap either...
- Outskirts like St Kilda is very interesting.... but not cheap...
More stuff will be uploaded here soon....

Final Packing !!!
I now its very 'late'... past 2am now.... Got to be in office on time these days.... yet I'm still awake?...
Just finished my final packing.... Rather than thinking what to bring and what not to.... I decided to load up everything I laid out last nite and have a 'fashion show' in Melbourne and Mildura....
Earlier in the day, I checked out the weather in Melbourne, highest forecast was 15 degree C !!!! And without factoring the wind or chill factor !!! Its ass freezing time !!!!
What was predicted to 'warm up' over last weekend is apparently not happening. In fact it is raining occasionally still....
I don't wish to catch a chill and walk around wet and shivering cold for the next 8 days....
SO.... Bring All !!!!
Will be doing a half day tmr and sending the boy to Bt Timah later in the day.... Will spend the rest of the afternoon chilling out and switching on to vacation mode till departure to T3 later in the evening ....

Very Disturbing 24 hrs...
For the last 24hrs, I have received and witness 2 pieces of very disturbing news....
Last nite, at about 3.30am, I was awaken by the sound of dogs barking away downstairs...
There were a pack of 3-5 big stray dogs pacing around, chasing and pursuing stray cats that hangs out at my block. I called those the 'resident house cats'....
The pursuit got very violent and fierce....!!! The cat 'screamed' and all the dogs barked in unison.... Trust me, you won't want to wake up to the sound of what I heard last nite.... the poor cat was screaming in pain....
Before long, one of the strays held the cat in its jaws and crushed the poor cat's neck.... the cat died... I watched on helplessly, too late for me to do anything.... it happened so fast...
Just when I thought it was over, another in the pack pursued another resident cat... The pack gave chase.... they were chasing from cars to cars.... and managed to force another cat into the open..... There were countless loud hollow barks like wolves and the cats was screaming on top of its lungs....
Then I saw with my eyes, 3 stray dogs biting the cat from all sides as it ran to the open, just like lions trying to tear a dear apart.... I had to do something....
I grabbed a plastic bag, filled with water, and threw it towards the commotion....It landed a few feet away and managed to stop the ferocious and savage attack....
Instead of running for cover, the cat dashed towards the open carpark again, only to be attacked savagely by the pack another time....
Fortunately, another water bomb came from my neighbors upstairs and prevented further attacks.... the pack ran off...
The poor cat literally staggered to the cover of a car.... it was warbling and collapsing along the way.... I think it was very badly injured...
5 mins later, some youth came by and tried to check out the injured cat..... I directed them to it from my window... I even pointed them to the dead cat.... and one that stayed on the roof of a car. That one got away unscathed...
I only left my window knowing the youths are taking care of the situation... there was nothing I can do or help... the youths were on the phone, presumably getting help.
I tried very hard to sleep after that..... it was useless.....
Images of that brutal attack kept playing back over and over again...
So my Mon was quite a wash out !!!....
Moments ago, I read in FP about my friend's 2 huskies fought very badly at home today.
One with bite marks all over her face.... the other, the boy... died...sigh....
Technically, the boy is a Samoyed .... or what ppl commonly called a 'white husky'.... Its just so sad..... He was such a smart and active boy, his coat was fabulous !!!....
Months ago, Mickey boarded at their place with the 2 big fellows and a couple of medium size dogs.... Thank god nothing serious happened then...
Guess I have enough for the last 24 hrs.... I need to crash !!!
