Nightmare

Last night, I dreamt that I went to visit Patch at the quarantine station. When I got there, I couldn't see him in his kennel. So I started to look around to see if he was in another kennel. I finally found him with 3 other dogs (!) in the same kennel in the non air-cond (!!) section. One of the dogs was really big, and the other 3 dogs (including Patch) appeared terrified of him. Whenever Patch tried to move, one of the other dogs (not the big one) would bite him. Pore Patch had a deep bite and scratch mark above his left eye. (Isn't it weird how vivid dreams can be?). Even in my dream, I was so angry! I went up to the kennel, opened the door and let the big dog run free. I then gently carried Patch out and made up my mind to bring him home right there and then.

What a horrid nightmare.

Today, Tomorrow and the Day After

Today, I traded in my old phone (Samsung, X820) for a new phone (Samsung, F480).

Tomorrow, Patch arrives in Singapore.

The day after, we start renovation on our new apartment.

Yesterday, Ed and I went shopping for ceiling fans. As advised by our renovator (and practically everyone else we'd spoken to), we went to Balestier Road. The good news was, the whole street was full of lighting and fan shops! The bad news was, all the shops carried the same 5 brands of ceiling fans: Elmark, Crestar, Amasco, Allied and KDK. I saw an Elmark fan that I like best while Ed prefers a Crestar fan. The Elmark fan looks nicer (in my humble opinion) and is cheaper but is made of silicon steel therefore will likely rust. The Crestar fan is more expensive but is made of acrylic (which looks cheap, again in my humble opinion) therefore is less likely to rust. We ended up going home empty handed. We decided to check out more shops before making our final purchase.

Happenings

So much has happened in the last 2 weeks. Both good and bad.

On 16th June, I made my first (and possibly last) trip to Nuremberg, Germany where my company headquarters is located.

On the morning of 18th June, Michael (Ed's brother-in-law) was called home by our Lord. Ed and I returned to Malaysia to be with the family. My heart goes out to Elaine and Brian, know that you are constantly in our prayers.

On 23rd June, Ed and I finally got the keys to our new apartment. We had waited so long for that day and yet so much had happened in between that our excitement had paled slightly when the day actually came. Still, it was very exciting stepping into the apartment for the first time. The apartment that will be our new home. Our very own home.
