StreetArts and Guinea Pig

Picked up Miffy in the morning to bring her poor guinea pig to the vet because of her poor balding condition... Her hair would come off the moment you stroke her... so i guess it was quite bad la. Waited for a rather long time at the clinic as usual and Dr Ly asked if it was stressed recently by any new pets in the house. Looks like Pen Pen did a great job of terrorising the poor guinea pig because her balding condition is highly induced by Pen Pen's terrorising ways! I mentioned to Dr Ly that naughty Pen Pen would stick her paw in to whack her head so many times. God knows what else she did when nobody was home... :P

So he started the observation by switching off the lights and scanned her under UV light!! wah! So CSI hor... so it turned out that she had dandruff! I could see the white specks very clearly under the light! Then he proceeded to scrape the bald patch with a really sharp looking razor while the poor dear was squeaking! He scraped 3 times and poor Miffy was so terrified for her... Both of us were holding each other arms and squirming at the sight of him scraping her skin... the poor dear pee-ed n poo-ed so many times on the laminate counter... aiyoh.

Dr Ly then proceeded to take this small packet of vegetarian formula for dogs and was telling us to feed the guinea pig with it... and while he was waving around the SEALED packet of dog food, the guinea pig started moving forward towards the food and sniffing at it! The vet was so impressed with her sense of smell and tried to feed her with it. but the poor thing was shy so she only licked it.

Miffy's damage from the vet came up to a wonderful $188.... And she had to get something called Jenson Violet oil or something from a Chinese medicine shop to "paint" the guinea pig's nails (which were rotting actually because of the moist bedding) When i recited all the vet's instructions to Miffy's mum, she was so amused that the guinea pig will be getting spa and pedicure treatments EVERYDAY. good life hor. Miffy commented that she wanted to be a guinea pig in her next life.

Procceded down to Newton to see part of the Longan gang with their StreetArts entry. Their group consisted of Gaz, Sarcastic Guy, Ah Zai and TCL (aka Jun Liang). Their entry was really cool! It consisted of 300 latex gloves which they all blew up by themselves! I was super amazed by their "skills" and Miffy and i commented on why they didn't use condoms instead. Miffy's explanation was that passer-bys will pluck it off. True la true lar.

So we just shot some photos then it was time to tear down their masterpiece!!! Oh no!! It was heartbreaking to see them tear it down after 3 hours of putting it up and also the fact that they didnt sleep the night before preparing for it! In less than half and hour, it was gone and ready to be picked up by the trash people. Ah Zai brought down his small cabin crew like luggage and threw all their materials and stuff inside. When he went to Mr Sarcastic Guy's house, his father thought that he was running away from home!

And for some reason, TCL could not find his scissors, so i offered to find it for him by rummaging through this dirty looking paper bag and i found 2 scissors which looked really alike (Black plastic handle) but he said it wasn't his although it looked like his! In the end, Gaz found it somewhere (in his bag i think) and TCL looked really happy to get it back! He was commenting that the plastic was of different feel..... But when i held it, it felt like the other 2 scissors which i dug out from the dirty paper bag! But he insisted that it was of different quality. Ok lar, maybe because it had the "Made in Japan" words printed on it.

Went to Newton for a drink where the drink store uncle was pissed at us when he thought we ordered 2 orange juice when actually Miffy ordered an orange carrot juice. While there, Ah Zai was telling TCL about the woman who called me and said that his TCL name was an English name, TCL suddenly grabbed his already empty Kickapo can and crushed it with his right hand and growled, "WAaaaaahh!! Some people are just so stupid!!" Miffy and i were so shocked by his outburst that both of us leaned back and grabbed each other arms, screaming "WOOOaaahhh!!" Wah, good le. Now i got potential Ah Long business partner.

After the drinks, Miffy headed down to the Ikea sale while the rest of us went on a road trip. No lar. I dropped TCL at Bugis MRT (actually was supposed to be City Hall MRT but got NDP practice so City Hall area was blocked and i had to divert to Bugis Area) and sent Ah Zai and Mr Sarcastic to his house at Simei, while Gaz went home from there. Thought my petrol could last to Simei but i think because of my diversion from City Hall to Bugis, my empty tank logo was flashing at me at Little india area! So we tried to look for a Shell station nearby but we could not find one! So i ended up driving to the Shell station near my office at MacPherson! No choice lar, only one we could find.

Went to Mr Sarcastic's house to bum while the other 2 were sorting out their stuff in Ah Zai's cabin crew luggage. Mr Sarcastic's erm..... "good friend" bought some pressies for us from Taiwan! So sweet.. One of them was a cat pencil and a postcard, where it was a mini DIY 3D paper sculpture of some Taiwanese building! Must remember to build it when i have time. For some reason, i got reminded of our Hanging Gardens of Babylon 3D model that Bunny and I did for our Social Studies project in school. Which looked like a Huge Birthday cake.

Before Ah Zai and I were about to leave his house, Mr Sarcastic's mum got us to sample a lot of the kuehs and cakes that they bought in JB that same morning! The entire 900mm diameter table in the kitchen was filled with kuehs and cakes.... so cool. like Hari Raya all over again. There was this huge flattened looking cake which i did not see before and even after his mum explained it to me, i still didnt know what it was! Tried to get Mr Sarcastic to peel a bit to eat so i could see the inside, but he didn't do it. His mum looked really young too! I was so impressed... I just noticed that most of my friends' mums actually look younger than they really are..... wow...

Picked up my brother who just finished his NCO camp in school and Ah Zai and I caught Beyonce Live in Wembley on dvd... She really has great showmanship and lots and lots of bling bling outfits! And she looked really really skinny in that concert! Definately at her skinnest! And her abs were sooooo power!! I couldnt stop commenting how skinny she was, but i didnt really like her with bangs. Ah Zai said must be because she looked like Name Amuro .(dunno how to spell lar!) For some reason, i was really tired and i could not stop yawning while poor Ah Zai who did not sleep the night before looked quite stoned! I really didn't understand why i was so tired so i slept at about ten plus that night! Wah, so damn early man...

My brother has decided to name me "Broken Neck" after i told him how i sprained it. Quite cool hor. like some Ah Long's name.. Not bad. I shall keep it in mind....
