			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pooprika/4408133333/" title="Sweetpie At the Vet by Pooprika, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4408133333_b27a4f0dab.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Sweetpie At the Vet" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never talked much about my rabbits as&#8230; to be frank, I am not as attached to them as I am to my cats. They are very nice and well-behaved, but I didn&#8217;t connect with them like I did with Latte. That said, I still care about them a great deal as they are our lifelong pets after all!</p>
<p>Both Sweetpie and Mystique are Holland Lops, a smaller version of the actual Lops, and you know&#8230; it means that their ears flop down instead of sticking up like the local rabbits. Jeffwee got them 2-3 years before we got together, and they came with us to our new place soon after.</p>
<p>Sweetpie the orange bun is the more inquisitive and active one, while Mystique the dark grey bun is more&#8230; introverted. But they are both really fluffy and lovely&#8230; But as they turned 8 this year, their health hasn&#8217;t been the best of late.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pooprika/4408133463/" title="Sweetpie's Meds :( by Pooprika, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4002/4408133463_3a90b94a85.jpg" width="433" height="500" alt="Sweetpie's Meds :(" /></a></p>
<p>Sweetpie has been losing weight quite a bit&#8230; and after a trip to the vet today, we found out that she has molar spurs, which is some kind of overgrown teeth which makes eating painful or uncomfortable. So we have got to fatten her up by force-feeding her some nutrients, and then to send her in to get her teeth filed down or something. I hope it&#8217;ll all go well.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t think she&#8217;ll do that well under GA at her age, but she&#8217;ll be fine&#8230; we hope. <img src='http://www.barffie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to announce that I am rather happy with my 9 physiotherapy sessions for my slipped disc condition.</p>
<p>The patient and cheery therapist was very professional and caring&#8230; I am writing a letter of commendation for her. </p>
<p>My back improved tremendously with her treatment plan, and I am so so so glad to be leading a somewhat pain-free life once more.</p>
<p>I still get a little achey and a little numb now and then, especially after sitting for long hours at the office, but nothing a little stretching won&#8217;t help <img src='http://www.barffie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The physio place at Gleneagles is clean, well-maintained and the facilities satisfied a grumpy me. Many times I showered at their shower room before heading back to the office, feeling refreshed and energised.</p>
<p>So yay! And I managed to claim the majority of the expenditure from my personal accident insurance plan. The reimbursement came in rather quickly, once we&#8217;ve gotten the paperwork down pat.</p>
<p>Hmm, at least the insurance came in handy when I needed it most. So please, get your insurance plans done up. We need it more than ever, now that we are aging day by day&#8230;</p>

I&#8217;ve always noticed his intriguing details and cutting for his haute couture stuff. The eye-catching and the odd detailing; the beautiful drapes and tucks; the unique silhouettes on the female body&#8230;</p>
<p>His works were truly one-of-a-kind.</p>

I mean, who could make lace so thoroughly avant garde, chic and wearable all at the same time?</p>
<p>And then he&#8217;s gone, just like that. Before I could barely afford a single piece of his fantastical creations&#8230; and he&#8217;s gone&#8230;</p>
<p>He is about the only (current era) designer that I paid attention to, and I mourn the loss of such an immensely talented individual.</p>
<p>Rest now&#8230;</p>

<p>In previous years I was more interested in getting the clothes than the munchies, but 4 days to go to CNY and I haven&#8217;t even got ANYTHING new to wear yet (except that pair of blue Levis jeans).</p>
<p>And I already have a container of love letters, kueh bangkit, prawn rolls and sugary drinks in stock.</p>
<p>WHERE HAVE MY PRIORITIES GONE!??!?!?!<br />
Especially when I lost 10kg liao leh&#8230; *grumbles*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have many doubts in life. A worrier, I am&#8230; after all. </p>
<p>I see the negative side of things all the time, and I get pretty tired by the end of the day.<br />
People think I am happy-go-lucky, but it&#8217;s more of &#8211; I&#8217;m happy if I <em>could be</em>, luckier. <img src='http://www.barffie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Having the iPhone is fun. Web-surfing is much better on a bigger screen, but am still annoyed by how easily I have typo errors whenever I send out SMSes and emails.</p>
<p>Having my own hosted domain is fun.<br />
But I absolutely have no idea what else I should do with it.<br />
A secret FTP site to store my files?<br />
Set up my own forum (what the heck for?!)?<br />
Or what?</p>
<p>Having a car to bring me around places, running errands, meeting people for discussions and everything &#8211; it&#8217;s great.<br />
But it&#8217;s not so great to see my savings grow at a snail&#8217;s pace.<br />
Bah. Need to make more money, and to make much more quicker than ever before. *thinks*</p>
<p>Having a 10-year loan on our flat is perhaps one of the wisest decisions that we have made, to ensure a roof over our heads as we age every single day as a silly couple.<br />
But where do we go from now? What do we do with our CPF funds?<br />
Invest them on some Equity Funds?<br />
Throw the &#8220;invisible money&#8221; all into the principal HDB loan amount?<br />
Transfer the funds to Special Account to enjoy the 4% annual interest?<br />
Too many possibilities to make a hasty decision right now.</p>
<p>===</p>
<p>What do <em>you</em> think we could do?</p>
