Just before I update my 5 days holiday, I have something to digress
Soon after we arrive at Taipei's airport, we cleared the immigration & collected our luggage, we went to the arrival hall to look for our transfer. I told Colin to lookout as well, we search the whole arrival hall, couldn't find our transfer at all!! I took out my handphone & called the operator & was greeted with a real shocking news, my stupid agent have forgotten to book my transfer!!
Imagine my shock when I heard it & the guy who answered my call was so helpful, he initiated to call the taiwan counterpart & promise to call me back. 5 mins gone & no calls from him, so I called back, he say there's nobody answering the call, I told him its Sun & everybody is off so just give me a solution!
Then I heard another guy screaming in the background say there's no more cars available to pick us up from airport, so either I take a cab myself or stay overnite in the airport.
Definitely something not very pleasant to start my holiday. On Mon which is the 2nd day of my holiday, I called up my agent & ask what exactly is going on & they themself got a shock, when I went back to my hotel at 3pm, the reception pass me a box of pineapple cake & inside the bag was a letter of apology, 30 mins later the taiwan counterpart followed up with a call of apology & fully refunded me my cab fare, actual cab fare was NT1200, but I claim NT1300, NT100 for my phone bill & inconvenience, I rest the case & continue to enjoy my holiday. They're just so efficient, I think they're afraid that I'll badmouth them so quickly do whatever they can to minimise the damage.
*Pics & update of my trip will be updated next week*

Twinkle's New Boarding Place~~
Yesterday was total madness for me in office, my phone never stop ringing from 1pm to 3pm. Colin came back to office at about 2pm and broke this bad news to me. He say his parents is unable to help us look after our baby anymore during our upcoming trip which is this Sun and we need to find a place to board her now!
Imagine my utter shock when I heard it, its already Thursday & we're flying off on Sun morning, where to find a place to board her so last minute. First person that cross my mind is Jen, I buzz Daniel (Jen's hubby) & ask if its ok, but they're afraid ah zheng might terrorise my baby. Next on my list is Amy, she's ok with me boarding but need to consult her mum & Romi, but they're not agreeable. To my 2 dear friends, its really ok that both of you are not able to help me board my baby in case both of you are feeling guilty.
I took out my handphone & scroll thru the phone list to find who else can do us this big favour. I told Colin, why don't we try to ask our Sharon aka Twinkle's breeder, there's constantly somebody at home, she's very experience with poodle. So I tried calling her & yes she's able to help me & she charge $15 per day! Ok, I'm desperate, whatever price she name I'll take it. I'm not open to the idea of pet hotel cos I dunno what germs & virus she'll get & worse still ticks & fleas are all over and we simply have no time to go visit those places. So last night we brought Twinkle over for bonding session with her mummy. I tell you, the moment Gucci aka Twinkle's mummy saw her, she was jumping with so much joy, and when my breeder kids saw Twinkle they went crazy over her. The moment I put Twinkle down, she had hell lots of fun with her mummy & my breeder's kids.
I'm so so so relieved, the big stone in my heart is finally removed, I can go holiday in peace & be rest assured that my baby is in good hands. After 1.5 hrs of bonding session, my baby is totally flat & can't wait to go home, my breeder's kids is sad that we have to go but I reassured them that Twinkle will be coming over on Saturday night

Bad experience with Mac delivery
Tues noon around 3.30pm, I was feeling hungry & went Mac website to order some food. I was too lazy to go downstair to grab any food cos it was pouring at my side. It was the most stupid decision I ever make that day.
After ordering my favourite mac nuggets meal, I receive an email & it say my food will be delivered to my door before 4.35pm. I was in my room with tv on, and the door is a distant away, so I won't be able to hear anything, my baby is one dog that doesn't bark at anybody who knocks on the door, she was happily wagging her tail cos she thought somebody is at the door coming to play with her!!
With my past experience from Mac delivery, they'll call me when they're at the door, I was just expecting their call.
4.20pm, the delivery guy is at my door, probaby knock on my door a few times & yet I didn't respond.
Delivery guy: "I knock on your door a few times why you never open the door"
Me: *he was freaking rude* I reply "give me a sec, I'll be at the door" *take keys also need time right*
When I open the door, I was being greeted with a real black charcoal face, obviously not a very pleasant experience that I have. He pass me the order & immediately ask me to aknowledge my order without me checking, if its not becos I paid my order by credit card, I would like rejected him right away.
I was also on the verge of lodging a complain with their management on my "wonderful service" by their "professional delivery guy". I understand its rainging & they have to brave through the rain to deliver my order to me, but in my humble opinion, it doesn't warrant them to give such a rude service to customers.
I'll still order from them, cos this is the most convenient way of filling up my tummy when I'm too lazy to move my legs out of my house

CGH A&E
I was having mild asthma attack since Sunday, must be the haze from indonesia making its grand appearance again!!
On Mon & Tues, Colin is being recalled for 2 days reservist, so I took this opportunity to rest at home & at the same time, do the most crazy thing of the month, churn 50 mth end reports!!
Wed return to work despite being unwell. On Thurs, I was really not well, by 10pm I was really breathless, I had a tiff with Colin thus din tell him about me not well. By 10.30pm, I tell myself either I make my own way down to the 24 hrs clinic 2 streets away or hospital A&E cos all GP clinic are already close at that hour.
I decided to go hospital cos the doctor at the 24 hrs clinic doesn't instill any professionalism to me & the medication there is so damn limited. I called for a cab & landed myself at Changi General Hospital A&E 20 mins later. Registration is pretty fast cos there's no queue at all.
I was told to wait at the waiting area to wait for a nurse to call me by name to assess my condition, less than 5 mins waiting I was called. My blood pressure is really high standing at 133 cos I was really breathless, then I was told to do a breathlyser test which I know I sure to fail. First blow the nurse say I did wrongly, I was on the verge of boxing that stupid nurse, 2nd attempt I straight away told him thats the max I can go before I ask for oxygen mask.
I was given a queue number & told to wait, I thought the wait will be at least an hour, but to my surprise, my number flash 10 mins later. This MO appears more professional, assessing my medical history & final diagnosis is mild asthma attack, it doesn't warrant me to bring home the neuberliser, but I totally regretted not bring it home!! The next day my condition seems to be worse, I was literally dragging my feet to the carpark!! The steriod pills that was given to me doesn't seem to stablise my condition, inhailer not doing its job properly, whole day just dragging my feet around office!!
After giving the prescription to the pharmacist, I was called in less than 5 mins time, took my medication & went to make payment. I only need to pay for consultation fees which is $75, medication + GST is on government grant.
Carol accompanied me & we went nearby chatting & I only reach home at 1.30am. Instruction given by the MO is, if my condition is no better after taking the steroid pills, I have to go back to see him, which I doubt I'll ever step back there again unless very very necessary.

Can some kind soul tell me why!!!
Can some kind soul out there why do I have to bear all the sufferings while he can sit back & relax?
Last month I made an appointment to see Dr Soong, first thing I told her I've finally made up my mind to go for SO-IUI, its 5 days jab but if result is not satisfactory, I'll have to continue for another few days.
I thought I've finally pluck the courage to go thru it, but when I really sit down & think I'm just deceiving myself, I still cannot face needles. I still cannot face the reality that I cannot have a child naturally, all these shall be history for maybe God knows the answer to it.
No doubt I yearn to have my own child, but I still cannot face my greatest fear. Thats Needles!!! I'll really freak out the moment I see them. For now, having a child of my own shall be a far away dream until God decides to bless me with one
