My saturday started early with me going to the wet market with my mom to help her with the groceries. We went to chinatown & it was crazy. People were rushing around stocking up for stuff before the rise in prices during the chinese new year season. It took me a while to master the art of maneuvering my mom's shopping trolley around people without rolling over anyone's feet. My mom bought a ton of fish. Ah well I do love fish. I did spend some nice quality time with my mom:)

Then I had to rush home and bathe (to rid myself of the fishy smell) and met clot, mandy, debs and shumei at J8 for lunch!Lunch was at cafe cartel, and clot (as always) amused us all with her ambitious plans for the future :) Its nice to know she's as crappy & entertaining as ever :)

It was a short,squeezy but much appreciated car ride over to RI for Rwinds band prac in Lynn's car after lunch. Band prac was pretty fun :) It felt exactly like RJ all over again, with my crazy percussion sectionmates (namely andrew and gerald). And I didn't think it was possible but RI percussion is even messier than the old RJ percussion section. I couldn't take one step without putting my foot down on a stray mallet stick. Tsk tsk. We played some nice songs and it was 5pm before I knew it. I had to rush off for church at 6 but the dear rgs girls surprised me with a belated birthday song and present!Thanks peeps!!:) I'm sorry I had to rush off without really thanking all of you!! :P Haha and I can tell mandy had a big hand in selecting the presents since the anklet's decorated with hanging silver DOTS and the earrings are literally big DOTS with little DOTS suspended on them :) haha love them!Thanks thanks so much!!

On a more upsetting note, I'm sad to say that buster had surgery this afternoon. He hasn't been able to keep down food or water for the last 3 days so they carried out this barium-x-ray test on him, and detected some kind of blockage between his stomach and small intestines. So they had to cut up his stomach to remove whatever rubbish was inside. Next 48 hours are crucial.

I suddenly realise buster is getting OLD. I never really thought of him as being old since he's so hyper & energetic & greedy most of the time. But he's almost 8 human years old already. Thats about 56 in doggy years. My mom commented recently how people who get pets have to be prepared to see their pets die before them. Unless they get turtles. Sob.
