the 'new mixed chinese year up'
The Dog got an OK to go to school for our annual chinese new year concert (its only an 8-10.30am programme) she was very obedient when she met the P, but when the National Anthem started playing... she broke her stay and decided it was alot more fun rubbing her face on LY's beautiful black pants than trying to sing in malay. HOW EMBARRASSING. next year sure cannot come back one.
Aside from Gin's appearance, a couple of colleagues and i also 'staged' an appearance. but unlike The Bitch who appeared very demure and traditional in her cheongsam (excuse me even I don't own a cheongsam ok), We (humans) looked like TU TUS! i think elaine put it quite well when she repeatedly exclaimed, "it's so retarded! it's so retarded!!" the guys looked alright la. i think we all agree that vp did a great job of playing punk! and TT did a great job of trying to cane him! the girls, well. TT surprised us all by brining RED RIBBONS and HAIR TIES. so we could tie our hair up aka silly and happy prancing youngster style. of course, i have long hair.... and it was swinging all over the face/place. yeah i suppose plastering an eternal grin to my face added to the inanity of it all la!
then, there was an invitation for MY DOG to go to LY's house for lunch, apparently, she brings good luck cause its the 'GOU NIAN'... she was a whole lot more affable this time... and i must say that i own one smart bitch. she has managed to categorise her repetoire of tricks into:
1) ''i do this cause it the easiest thing to do to get food from you, stupid face!" tricks
2) "man, why does she ask for the silliest things... tsk. i'll take my time'' tricks
3) ''can i see what food you have before i do it?" tricks
4) ''what do you think? that i'm NUTS?" tricks
especially when its category no 3) and 4), she tends to do a couple of things:
(in this order)
A) pretend she doesn't know what you're asking her to do (pls la. my dog v smart alright)
B) look around the room to see if there's anyone else who looks even vaguely willing to give her food for a trick in an easier category
C) approach that person/s
D) when the approach fails, she comes back to you and whines and cries as if the trick is going to inflict a lifetime of mental torture and serious physical damage
E) do the trick 1/2way and make you help her with it.
ok. i know all this sounds quite anthropomorphic, but i'm really describing the situation as it is (more or less) .... and its chinese new year.. so leave me to my misguided beliefs for 3 days before you come and tell me what i already know. :) haha.
yuppers.
add these moments to videoezyshopping, vacuumcleaningthewholehouse,shovingmoneyintoangpows, momexplodingtearsandpainherheartshatteringintoamillionpiecesshesays,puttingangpowsunderpillow, hurriedlypayingdebtsowedbeforethenewyear, and awholedayofvisitingtomorrow, and you get what is my very mixed up chinese new year ....
to all the horses in my life and in the world. i wish you a carefree and spirited existence!
