Haven been updating this blog as much and as in depth as I want to..Been really busy lately.. With Meow Me sick and with Christmas Shopping and of course, the dreaded arrival of 3rd Jan 09. =( Haven even got time to properly update my previous post for "for length story" and pics.. How I wish I have a magic wand.. With a tap of the wand and Meow Me will be well and Dear will have gone n come back from his exchange in US. As for Christmas, hmmm.. I think I will still wana shop. hehe.. Gimmi more time and more money yea?
Nearly a week has passed and Meow Me is still having diarrhoea.. I applied for half day leave on tuesday and dear & I brought her to the vet at Sembawang Road. The vet says there is some parasites in her stool... Not very sure where she got it from either cos she has been brought to Shawn's , Jayne's and finally to my house... Really hope that she will recover soon.. Seeing her visit the litter so many times in a day makes me feel so sad and helpless.. And it been really difficult feeding her the medicines.. Dear brought her to the clinic again on thursday to seek advice on how to force feed her the med and also to know more abt handling her situation as the frequency of her goin to the litter been increasing and she seems to be having both diarrhoea and constipating.. (Reminds me of my IBS). With their advise, now we can feed her slightly more medicine. She's been really clever though.. Somehow she knows when we are goin to feed her and start to hide.. or eat more food.. or go to the litter.. Her behaviour really amazes me. Its like instinctive, she knows how to behave to make it harder for us to feed her the med. -___-" I have a certain way of cuddling her when its medicine time and when I carry her, she just close her eyes.. Not really sure if she's falling asleep cos its too comfy or she just pretending to sleep.. But one thing for sure, her mouth are shut tight. Need more than half an hour!!! So this means waking up extra early to feed her. And no, no regrets! I love Meow Me. And so do everyone in the family!! Especially mum.. Even though she got to clean up Meow Me's poo poo several times in a day, she's not complaining abt the chore.. More of how pitiful our dear Meow Me is being sick.. Meow Me, get well soon okie? Everyone loves u!

Yes.. he proposed to me on 14/12/08 and I said yes.
Here's the story of how it all began (Story by Shawn):
How does any proposal start? Of course you'll have to gain the permission of her parents first. During mid november on the 12th, Jac was having her final paper and she wouldn't be at home. It was the perfect opportunity for me to call her home without her knowing. hahaha :D So after I sent her to SIM for her exam, I called her home and asked her mum for permission to propose to her and to ask whether I could buy her a cat as part of my plan. It has been her lifelong wish to have a pet cat and everytime, her mum would say no. Given this special occasion, I was hoping that her mum would agree and she did! Yeah! Ok, so now the planning can begin after seeking approval.
Plan A: The initial plan was to propose to her up at the lighthouse at Seletar reservoir during sunset. We've been there to watch the sunset before and the view is spectacular. As part of this plan, I will have a couple whom I know bring up the cat and the bouquet of flowers to the lighthouse while we were taking photos. The cat and flowers are supposed to belong to the couple and we would be there just watching them. Knowing Jac, she will definitely go over to play with the cat. The cat would have a collar with a tag engraved with the words "Will you marry me?" While she's playing with the cat, I'm expecting her to see the tag and then at the moment she sees it, I'll kneel down and ask her, "Will you marry me?" Then my friends will pass me the flowers and I'll take out the ring.
I seeked a few of my friends' opinion about this plan and they helped me identify the loopholes. Firstly, it was in december and it's the monsoon season! Since it is at an outdoor venue, the unpredictable weather will likely disrupt this plan. Secondly, what if the cat runs away into the bush or something like that?! OMG, that cannot happen. So I had to think of a better plan.
So here's Plan B: Basically, I built plan B using plan A's concept. The opportunity arose when Jayne called for a primary school gathering. Mrs Lim's called for the gathering but sadly she had some last minute family committments and couldn't be there to witness my proposal. Oh, back to the gathering... Knowing plan A wasn't feasible anymore, I suddenly thought that the gathering would be very much better. We met each other during a primary school class gathering and wouldn't it be nice to propose to her also at the same event? cool right? Also, it will be held indoors and the rain wouldn't disrupt any plan. The cat wouldn't be able to run away either. Perfect! So I called Jayne and George, my two accomplices, and we began plotting how I would propose to Jac. Besides providing the venue for my proposal, she also helped me out by recommending a florist to me. That's where I got the very nice bouquet of flowers. George helped me set up the "stage" for proposal and he was the one who picked the cat and put her in the bag because Jayne was afraid of cats.
Here's more details on the execution of the plan. The day before the actual day, my accomplices and I met up at Jayne's house for a rehearsal to practise the plot. On the day of our gathering, which is on the 14th of December 2008, the florist has been told to deliver the flowers to Jayne's house by 10.30 am. On the morning itself, I sent the cat over at around 9am to Jayne's house and then went over to Jac's house to prepare our food as it we were suppose to have pot luck for lunch at the gathering. Jayne texted everyone to arrive at her house by 11 am and she texted Jac seperately, telling her that the event is at 12 pm. This is so that there could be more time to prepare the "stage". :D
When we reached Jayne's house at 12 pm, we began with playing a board game first. Because George didn't know that it was pot luck (how blur he is...), he went out to buy otak and chicken wings. After one long round of playing the game, we were all hungry and adjourned for lunch. We took photos and chatted during lunch and it was time for the plan to begin. I had to lure Jac away from where the cat and flowers were hidden and I did this by asking her to the sofa and told her that we will set up the board game first. Then Jayne came by and said, "I don't think we have time for another round of board game as I need to go to my friend's house and return her cat. She was overseas and left the cat in my care." Jac immediately said, "You've got a cat! Take out and let me play with it." (At this moment, I was grinning.... She reacted according to plan. haha!) Jayne's went into the room and took out the cat. Both Jac and I sat at the "staged' area and began playing with the cat. The tag was flipped and Jac couldn't see the words, so while carrying the cat, I kept trying to flip over the tag discretely with my index finger. I couldn't flip it over... It was such an anxious moment. Finally, out of curiosity, Jac lifted the tag and read the words and asked, "Jayne, your friend's boyfriend used this cat to propose to her ah?" That was the cue for me... I told her, "This cat's yours dear." Then I kneeled down and asked her, "Will you marry me?" She was in utter disbelief and kept thinking I was bluffing her, even though I had the ring in front of me. Then Jayne took out the flowers for me and I gave it to Jac. It was only then she realized that it was all true.
Tears rolled down her cheeks and it was the most memorable and heart warming moment when she said, "Yes I will marry you." My plan worked out smoothly! It was a huge load off my chest, worrying whether would she say yes or not. It was the happiest day of our lives, the beginning of a brand new journey into our relationship.

Mixture of Happiness, Sadness and AngerHappiness-
I passed the killer paper.. Got a C.. my first ever C.. [pulled my GPA from 4.25 to 3.97 =( ] but to me that's like an A already.. Am veri happy already. And so, I graduated. =) And no.. I am not taking a honours degree..
Sadness-
Another few more weeks, he will be leaving for U.S. I dun wan to start counting down but in my heart, I am horrified by the speed time is passing. There doesnt seem to be enough time. There is so much to do n say to him but not enough time. I hope that the months will pass by quickly and he will be physically back by my side again.. supporting me like he always does... doting on me just the way I like.. allowing me to love him just as much as he love me.. lending me his shoulder to cry on.. giving me his finger to bite on.. leading me in the dark.. cheering me up when I am sad... even just silently sitting next to me...and so much more.. Love u Shawn..
Can dun go?
Anger-
Towards them, towards myself n so much more. Haiz. long story.
