IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR TONGUE?

I've refrained from asking that SO MANY TIMES i've lost count...

Why? Waddya mean??

Them idiots who refuse to mould their tongues to pronounce certain words,
like NAMES for example.

Ok la...MY NAME....

~* P A M E L A *~

How difficult is that??

Yes, i'm ranting...

But really, are they deaf?

Because I'm pretty sure I repeated my name not less than 5 times

plus proceeded to SPELL IT OUT !

and they still go

PAH - MEH - LAH

*groan*

How many times have I answered the phone with,

"Hello, Pamela speaking!"

to hear some moron go...

"Hello, can I speak to PAHMEHLAH?"

(you idiot, didn't i just say "PAMELA SPEAKING?")

or

Idiot : What's your name?

Me : Pamela

Idiot : Huh? Camera? Kamala?

Me : No, PAMELA

Idiot : Tamela?

Me : PAMELA, P-A-M-E-L-A

Idiot : Oh PAHMEHLAH! (version 1)

or

Oh, Pamela Anderson arrrr (version 2)
*laughs like banshee*
(coz apparently thought it was like EUREKA!)

ok by now, its confirmed that whichever idiot i'm speaking to has officially turned into a MORON, who only associates ALL Pamela's to the Anderson version.

Why is it that WHEN I say my name...they never get it, but when they miraculously hear Pamela Anderson...their tongue boleh guna already!!

Fwah!

Ok ok...

I know there are a handful of people who are able to pronounce some names...

THANK YOU!!

By the way :

Pam
Pam meaning: Form of Pamela. All honey.
Pam origin: Greek
Pam gender: Female

Pamela
Pamela meaning: Name invented in the 16th century for a heroine of the book 'Arcadia', by Sir Philip Sidney.
Pamela origin: English
Pamela gender: Female

The next time someone refuses to pronounce my name correctly after hearing me say it 5 times and spell it...dun be surprised if I go...

or IS IT YOUR BRAIN?" (if you have one)

I DiD IT!

Last night...I finally did what I've been wanting to do for ages!!



Guess!!



GUESS LAA...



ok la...I know you're probably gonna come up with something MORBID...knowing you.



Fine..I'll tell you.



I was feeding Zara her kibble...one measely piece at a time...coz this lil Princess sometimes need coaxing....



and she was really devouring it like it was the best food in the world...



Ok..maybe she's just hungry la...



You know... (ar..ok maybe you didnt) I've always wondered what dog food (treats especially) tastes like.



And I've been "wanting" to taste it for ....ok i've been curious for a while...



My bro gladly "begs" for my doggie's treats whenever I bring home a new one...



Truth be told...they smell awfully meaty and yummers!







So...I sniffed a piece of kibble...



Smells meaty..as usual.



Zara looked at me with eyes wide opened.



She waited for me to give it to her....





To her SHOCK AND HORROR...



I TOOK A LITTLE BITE!!!



HEH!



*chewed*



YUK!!!



Tastes like rancid fish!!



(the kibble was suppose to be chicken meat)



I didn't finish the whole piece...(its only tiny)...



But i tot...ARR...ITS OK...i think my curiosity has been put to rest!



Couldn't brush my teeth fast enough to get the stench out!





Ok...so its not my "cuppa"...but i guess doggies "dig" it.





Maybe I'll try their lamb/beef treats next!



HUR ! HUR ! HUR !



---------------------------------------------------------------



Ah, this morning....when I signed into my MSN Live Messenger account...



A window popped up...some advert "illegally" using my friend's account sent me a msg...



First I was annoyed that MSN allowed these ads to be illegally sent thru their user's personal accounts...(i've gotten too many lately).



Then I was tickled....



It said :

Hey, how are you. Just wanted to let you know about these new supplements I tried. I lost 12 pounds in just a week and a half. Best thing, it only cost me $5. Check it out here: http://tickgoods.com

OK.....why was I tickled??



Because..this friend of mine...lets call him J....has been the skinniest BEANPOLE forever!!

Ever since i met him in 2000!

and I don't think I've ever seen him with any sort of "fat",

EVER



If he lost even an ounce of weight...he'd probably disappear!!







STUPID AD.





HAVE A BRILLIANT DAY!

Have you had...

My Muffin?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ok, fulfilled my "lame" quota for today.

Ciao!

Oh wait...

(hands u a bucket)

Random Thoughts...

Wanna know what goes thru my head?

Nothing...

HAHAH!

Of course not!!
I get short bursts of thoughts...all the time..and they can get quite random..

Ok, for example...driving home from work yesterday, I thought about ...


#1 Twilight
--------------
Its so rainy and overcast all the time in Forks....
what kinda footwear do the inhabitants wear?
Sneakers would be soaked...
I dont think they'd be wearing Thongs/slippers coz it may be too cold...
toes would drop off...
So...?

Flippers?

Ok, so I've become one of the Twi-hards!
I get so immersed in the story and I can hardly wait to get home to it!
Man, it is a real soppy love story actually.
I dun think many guys would dig it...
Its more of a chick-lit, with a brain.
I just finished Eclipse (3rd)
Waiting to get the 4th book,
Breaking Dawn!!
Gimmieee!!!


#2 Kids on a bike
--------------------
Who look like they're about 12 years old, not wearing helmets...
riding in the middle of the road and NOT SIGNALING to turn!!
Argh!
ok that wasn't a thought...
it was a FACT....
Right before my very eyes,
(ok lets not get dramatic here...its a usual everyday occurance in Asia, alongside the whole family on one bike thing)
there were 2 kids (from a nearby village) on a motorbike on the road leading to my neighbourhood....and YES, they did look too young to have a bike licence...etc.

What i DID think about was....what if they had an accident? and it happened to ME!! coz i was driving behind them (i gave them a wide berth of coz). But that would be awfully INCONVENIENT...coz we all know how the driver of a CAR would always be to blame..even though its the motorcyclist's fault...

Ya ya, i love my country....HAH!


#3 Cow(s) come home
--------------------------
I pulled up in front of my house and there were a couple of cows who wandered into our road (also from the nearby village) and they were chomping on some leaves from the trees.
I remembered someone telling me this (which i tot was a bit ridiculous actually) :

Cows see the colour RED as GREEN which means GO!

*chuckled to myself as I got out of my car*
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!
What kinda NONSENSE is that?!??!



Well, there u go...
ok, its a very short distance from my workplace to home...
and i cant remember the other things that I thought about along the way...
its not all *crickets* ok.

But it sure is Random...
I'm sure you are like that too...


*CRICKETS*

V-day Special!!

Because their food supply was running low, I decided to try out a different brand of dry dog food for my babies + the shop was nearer than the one i usually go to.

I saw this nylon chew bone and decided to get that too...its about 4inches long (soft bone). I gave it to Chino and Zara last evening and because I only bought one...i gave them their regular rawhide bone to chew as well.

After watching tv, I called them into the room and was a little bit suspicious of the whereabouts of the nylon bone...so i went hunting all over the house for it. The last i saw of it was when Chino was tossing it around playing with it.

I suspected he must have swallowed it whole!! That greedy little fella regularly swallows half chewed rawhide bones (3.5inches long).


I couldn't find it ANYWHERE and when i asked him...he just looked at me sheepishly....avoiding eye contact. I KNEW he had swallowed it....

Of course I was worried! Its nylon...not digestable...and 4inches long!! After a good tongue lashing, i went to bed....fretting Chino might need to go for surgery to remove the bone.

This morning I googled "nylon chew bone" and "swallowing nylon bone". I also called Pam K and asked for her vet's number and she txted it to me.

I called the vet immediately...and the receptionist answered....and i bombarded her with so many questions.

Me : Hello, is this Dr Goh's clinic?

Receptionist : Yes, this is Dr Goh's clinic.

Me : Ok, I have this shih tzu and he swallowed a 4inch long nylon bone. Does he need surgery? or will he pass it out?

Receptionist : er, i think need to let the Dr see (have a look).

Me : Ok, how much would surgery cost if he needs surgery?

Receptionist : Depends, consultation is free...but cost of surgery will be decided by the Doctor.

Me : Oh ok, what are your opening hours?

Receptionist : From 9 to 5.30pm and until 5pm on Saturday.

Me : Oh, how about sunday?

Receptionist : No, we're closed on sunday.

Me : Ok then i'll try to bring him in today if i can. Thank you.

Receptionist : Welcome..bye.

So, I dont have much of a choice...i have to bring Chino in to the vet tmr. After chatting with a few other friends, I wanted to call Khengs to cancel our plans to meet for grocery shopping this afternoon...so i can take Chino to the vet.

I picked up my phone and it was still showing my contacts list....guess what??

I realised i called the wrong place! Yes, i had 2 Dr Goh's number in my phone's contact list. Dr Goh Dentist and Dr. Goh Vet. Guess which one i called?

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

a huh...i called the DENTIST!!!!!!

How am i so sure?? Coz the number i called was a landline (shop) number...and the one Pam K gave me was a mobile number!!! HAHAHAHHAH!!!!!

I called Pam K and Khengs and we laughed till we cried!!!

I can't believe the Receptionist even entertained my stupid irrelevant questions!!! She must think i'm a blubbering fool!! Asking the dentist's clinic about my shih tzu!!!

HAHAHAHAHHA!!

Oh well, wat a Valentine's day its been....ok i must admit..i was feeling quite miserable at the thought of surgery for Chino and all that...but i must say...i feel heaps better now...even if it meant i had to make a fool of myself!

Its just $$...and I want him to be ok...so that lil cow will have to go for an X-ray or an anal probe...he's gonna "love" that!



Later...today
(4.26pm)


Oh CRAP!!

I sat down on the sofa for my tv lunch....and er....found the blasted BONE!!!! stuffed between the sofa cushions!!

OH MAN DO I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!!

Phew!!! At least Chino doesnt have to have an Anal probe...or X-ray or SURGERY!! WHeee!!!!

Yes, i did apologize....and gave him a treat!! and a bath...(ok thats the opposite of a treat!! hurhurhur!)

V-day...always eventful for me....not always in a good way tho...but eventful nonetheless!!

~P~

Been Bee-Z!

Sorry!! Yup..i have been busy with work...and haven't had the time to actually blog about anything.

Besides meeting up for dinner with good old friends...I haven't been up to anything else.

Oh, just wanted to say...

that while I was deciding what to wear this morning, i put some clothes on my bed...and guess what?

Zara was on my bed...

plonked her little self on my dark blue top
and she nicely furred it all up.

As if i dont think about my babies enough all day...they wanted to MAKE SURE i didn't forget them for a second....

Oh Hell, my clothes r always furry anyway!

Aite, back to work!


Plonked
