you should get bigger doggies mah ....Originally posted by jetta:Nah, my dogs are maltese. Good watch dogs although the littler one is feisty around strangers. Ever since that near break in, I've been watchful and on the defensive. My street is very very quiet though. Even though I have watchful neighbours, they're not home most of the day.
Boy are my arms and hands tired. Spent the morning washing and detailing hubby's car.
imagine:
*burglars breaks in ....
jetta's little doggies: yep yep yep ! ......
burglars: ........................
now imagine you got two alsatians ....
jetta's big doggies: grrrrrrrrrrr .....
burglars: *makes a warm puddle .....

* YAWNZZZZZZ *
Wah seh............darn tired man or make it mega tired. Just woke up. After all that waiting at Canadian Idol!!!!
Although doors open at 8am, we arrived at 7am. Obviously there was a line already. No, make it three lines. We were standing at line number 4.
Organizers this year is kind. No need to camp out. As long as one arrives before 5pm, one will get auditioned!!!
Cool experience. Although the standing in line on ends waiting to get in. The wind was unkind. My toes were frozen. Got to make a run at Burger King to hide.
Wah liew. At BK, one patron, don't know if he was on drugs. He threw a bottle, some trays and shouted profanity. I was like "OMG, what have I gotta myself into?." I was so afraid he was going to hold the few of us in there (BK) hostage or something. * Phew * Thank God it was non eventful.
Okay, I go shower liao. Anyways, wah lau..........8 HOURS WAIT FOR A ONE MINUTE AUDITION...........how's this for investment?
If you are asking? The answer is No. He didn't make it. We are going to try again next year. This was his first attempt. And the next time? I WILL BE BETTER PREPARED.............blankets and all! It was no joke standing for hours in that freaking cold!!!

Yah, C-AA membership is very comforting. You know, coming back stateside has been very expensive for us. If we could have remained overseas, we would have.Originally posted by Fatum:yeps ... but I won't be going alone, so I should be okay if we split the gas ...

A few years back, an OGS notice was mailed to my Singapore address informing me that my name had been stricken from the voters' register due to my failure to vote in the previous few GEs. If memory serves, the notice indicated that my voting rights could be restored upon the payment of a fine and a letter of explanation.
Has anyone abroad gotten a similar notice? -
