Last day of our long holidays

The feeling is terrible. School's starting tomorrow! I have not done enough mental preparation yet, still in a holiday mood. Thinking of travelling 4hours daily is utterly disgusting. Hopefully this semester would be a smooth one.

Gentle paws session

My bro, JY and I went down to Gentle paws @ pasir ris farmway 2 no. 16 to help out with the shelter. Basically, gentle paws is a new shelter set up on April to give shelter to those homeless dogs as well to put them up for adoption. It's currently lacking in manpower as they have about 30 dogs, which requires many manpower especially when it comes to walking the dogs. We also fed the dogs, clear their poos (quite alot haha) and play with them. We've not come to the stage of bathing them yet which I feel that much interaction with the dogs would be required before we can actually control them for bathing (:

Today when we went down, the dogs were already so excited for walks! They were all crowding around the gate. I was so happy when I saw them so excited and ready. So immediately, we took 3 dogs for a walk. As usual, JY took Mario. My bro took Dyana and I took Dexter. I made short runs and many times I felt breathless. My stamina deproved alot.

After which, we fed the dogs. They were so hungry such that they finished their dog food and were craving for more! Following which we just lingered around and played with the dogs.

Today I'm so happy, to the extent that I didn't want to leave the shelter. Saying goodbye is always sad. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to the next trip down to the shelter. And who knows I'll become a regular there?

Here are some photos which we took, enjoy!

This is Dollar, a golden retriever. She likes us stroking her fur.

Busy enjoying the last few days before school starts!

Hi guys! I lost the cable for my hard disk and yesterday I bought a new one from sim lim square. However, my laptop was not able to detect my hard disk and I called up the repair shop. The person on the phone told me to bring along my hard disk down and they would chk it. And today I went down again to the repair shop at sim lim square #06-02. The guy who attended to me told me that all hard disk will develop this detection problem after some time of usage. It was due to insufficient of power transferred to the hard disk and hence unable to be detected. I was then told that as you use longer, all hard disks would have a tendency of increasing their amount of power required for the detection. Therefore, the solution would be to buy a "Y" cable, which consists of 2 usb connections and 1 mini usb to your hard disk. Plug both usb to your computer/laptop and the mini usb to your hard disk and it'll work! So if anyone encounters similar problem, try this solution!

After settling the hard disk problem, I met up with JY to play badminton at the tampines sports hall. Aww, we tried challenging each other and I lost to a score of 10-21. I realized my weakness of missing shuttlecocks that flew near to the net. After that, we started training on the weakness. However, it was rather a short training before the next person who booked the court came. Thus, we stopped and was hoping for empty courts. Unfortunately, all was taken.

Nonetheless, we went to the tampines swimming complex and swam 20 laps! It was so tiring. My stamina went down alot ever since I went to Shanghai. So disappointing but I'll do better the next time! haha, that's about all!
