Dogged Philosophy

i've recently taken to penning down thoughts invoked by comet the barbarian.

you can view them here. and yes, it's called doggedphilosophy for a reason. =)

look how much he has grown!

I'm goin' down to a Park Gonna have myself a time...

so tomorrow we are planning to bring Comet down to Botanical gardens and let him roam free with the other doggies....
i shure hope he plays nice...
i shure hope he behaves...
i shure hope he makes frens...

*fat hopes* :p

oh please let me know if anyone is interested to come on down too!

band of brothers...

got my good friends over to our place for a house warming last saturday (wow how time flies, its almost a wk ago already!). The topic of the day however was about the credit crisis. Just that day i mentioned that seems my co's reports are good and all, and, well come monday it seems as if i had to eat my own words.
HAHAHAAHAH
lets see just how affected i will be when bonus comes around...

We engaged Alfred to help our Comet behave. Alfred had quite a few comments about Comet, including:
a) that he's a bit underfed (opps!)
b) that he has an unhealthy obsession with food (evidence of the bites me and wifey got)
c) that he has a lot of character for a pup of 3 months
d) that he looks so cute

So given the past 2 lessons that we had, i think we see a slight improvement in Comet. If nothing else, we learnt more about our pup and how to deal with him better than before so its all good. We are also making friends with people with dogs around the estate. Like what the wifey said, having a dog makes communication and talking to strangers that much more easier. Hopefully Comet's training and behavior will somewhat balance out soon! *cross fingers*

We brought him to swim @ sentosa last sunday and boy did he have fun. Running everywhere and i'm glad to say he's not really afraid of water. Though there are times he will follow me with abandon into the ocean but after 1 or 2 meters out he will suddenly seem to realise that this was a bad idea and swim back to shore. Note to self: next trip there we should bring our assortment of bath gear for him so we can just bathe him straight there :p

on the house front, everything's fine, though i am not cooking much *EEHEHEHEH*. wifey's doing a lot of cooking for which i am really grateful. Laundry seems to be piling up very fast (i may have to consider wearing my underwear for 3 days straight!) so hopefully we won't be charged a hand and a leg when the bill comes! Floors get dusty easily (think if we open the window this happens faster!) but we got our mobile broom (i.e. Comet). Then again he may contribute more than he cleans... hahahaha

all in all, managing Comet takes up about 3+ hours of a day. I wake up at 630am, bring him down to pee/poop. Bring him up, feed him. Down again to walk/run him. Up again to drink. Then i go change and go to work at about 810am.
After i get back, do the same drill again. Usually from 7ish to 9ish.
By then, wifey will settle down to do homework while i go online gaming (my spaceman needs more ISKs!!!) so pretty busy huh? Luckily the in-laws are ok with Comet so sometimes we can park the little runt and go out ourselves (as we are going to do this weekend)..

btw i am thinking of changing my phone. The "Sucky-Everything" (sony ericsson) G900 is the pits. Armpit, shitpit whatever pit you can think of. I just have to change it. Though not too sure what to change it to though. Faith suggests the Nokia E71 as its so cool. Reviews online say so too. Then again some reviews say the G900 is a very very good phone (pffffft). But i keep thinking that if i go for the E71, i might as well get the iphone (of which i will be much more excited over)....but iphone is way way too ex :(.. otherwise i can go for the w595)... decisions decisions..

any comments anyone?

p.s. the Juicer is back on the list. instead we got a way cool looking cake cutter.... :p Thanks Lin Kern!

tutti frutti

oh btw... juicer / blender has been taken off the house wish list :)
Thanks Kelvin!

Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone...

so i've been moving along in Eve online. Now previously i was in a corp that was pretty much laid back as the tax (corps tax you on your mission bounty in %), thus i had no support and pretty much left alone to do what i wanted to do. Needless to say i did not progress as far nor as fast. Then i met an ex-colleague in the game and we were talking and he mentioned he joined a corp that seems pretty exciting. After a few conversations and I was in the same corp. This corp is so different and quite active and pretty much I had a direction and much needed help. More help came when one of the members invited a few of us to join him in level 4 missions. From 1 such mission alone (from bounty and mission rewards) will be able to fetch me about 2+mil isks (in game credit). Compared to if i run my own level 2 missions, that would probably take me about 6+ runs before i make that much isk.
Now initially I would have bough a Ferox battleship as it was within my affordability and skillset range. My fren mentioned why don't i aim for a Drake (which was 30+mil isk). i checked my skillsets and i wasn't really far from reaching that aim so i decided to go for it. Now earning the isks was tough as i was about 10+mil away. Yesterday i was back home (took half day leave to bring Comet to get last vacinination and microchipping) and after a few rounds of 2 player split screen Rainbow 6 II on the Ps3 , i logged in to play around a bit. And i noticed in the local chat a player who said "First person that moos in local channel gets 10mil isk". Wow....to which i did. I went "Mooooooooooooooo" and he commented "Winner!" and my wallet swelled by 10mil!
YOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....
Afterwards in the night when I had time to play, i researched and found the cheapest Drake i could find (for 30.9mil) and proceeded to make the largest purchase in Eve of my life. After buying it, i quickly jumped into the driver seat and vroomed vroomed it back to my base of operations and see what i could fit it out with. Unfortunately with only 1mil isk left, i cant do much. here's hoping my corp mates can provide some charitable parts to me! :p

my new Drake battleship.. ain't she a beaut?

looks like those kitchen grater thingies...:p

out for a spin...

Bring us to warp Mr Sulu!

Oh btw, i named my ship "Little Superhero Gal" after the wifey :p Here's hoping to many more missions in my brand new ship!

*giggles like a little girl*

shower me with your love....

last weekend we had to give Comet his bath. Now he quite good when he gets his bath and only at the end does he do the usual doggie-dry-myself routine. Doesn't he look a bit pathetic when he's all wet? But its part and parcel of keeping him from having the wet-dog smell :P

this looks just like a family portrait... heheh

one of my babies..

the other baby...

impish ones :P

well we had jac and oille over. Wow oille was a handful and i think Comet must be wondering what to make of this huge thing-a-ma-jig that's running all over the place trying to sniff and paw me. I think he's playing with me.. but... hmmm....
Comet was kinda less scardy kat this time.. but still he retreats rather fast when he gets startled. this house sure aint big enough for the 2 of them....
This weekend will be another busy one. Serene's frens will be coming over and then on sat her colleagues will be over! first major housewarming for us as we see if we can cater to so many guests :P hope they like the place and sure hope Comet behaves!

*cross fingers*

"Wave" your hands in the air! "Wave" them like you just don't care!

we received good news this morning that an item, the Microwave, from our home wish list has been taken care of.

YAY!

Thank you!

*GRIN*
