had a yummy yummy meal of all my favorite food at geylang last night, to celebrate my full recovery from flu and sore throat. in my opinion, the best foods in singapore are still found at hawker centers.

first there’s my favorite frog porridge from sinma at lorong 3. they always create the false impression that they are offering customers a great deal by selling their frogs with “buy 2 get 1 free”, “buy 3 get 2 free”, “buy 4 get 3 free” promotions. but actually the frogs don’t come cheap as they already cost around nine dollars each. and a pot of porridge for two comes at a ridiculous 3 dollars! expensive! but at least everything tastes good.

i had thoughts of shutting down this blog as it’s becoming apparent that my interest in blogging is dwindling. but then again, this site has allowed me many opportunities in voicing my thoughts, engaging in various discussions, making new friends, and having jobs and projects of many kinds, with design being the main.

that said, designing for clients can get extremely frustrating. people don’t realise the amount of work that is put into each and every element of the page layout. they expect work to be done and changes to be made at the snap of the finger. adding small shadows and shading, choosing the perfect font out of thousands others, hours and more hours of trial-and-error in aligning and spacing all the elements, and tons of other stuff not mentioned. all these cost a lot of time and effort but usually go unnoticed and unappreciated anyway.

whenever i design a website, i use hundreds of layers in photoshop. literally hundreds. yet after all this jumbo work, clients would always want to make amendments, simply because they don’t “like” the design. and the same process is repeated all over again.

kitty is doing great and her eyes are open! i’ve been letting her crawl around the house a bit so that she may learn to walk soon. but she’s so tiny that she gets lost all the time. so i let her wear a bell and it doesn’t seem to bother her at all.

yeah all along i’ve been referring to the baby kitty as a “he”, until i discovered six tiny nipples on her belly. so cute! so it’s official then. baby kitty is a girl!

i have had to bathe her quite a lot. cats don’t normally like to get wet, but i’m thinking if they are used to getting bathed since young, they would be fine with it. in fact, baby kitty seems to enjoy it quite a lot! she doesn’t make a big fuss when bathing, or when she’s being towel dried.

i just fed the little baby, and he drank all his milk! that’s a first! usually he just cries nonstop and most of the milk just drips away. now i think he’s finally getting the hang of sucking and drinking from the dropper. i’m so proud of him! i even spot a little bulging milk belly on him. yay!

actually i can’t be sure whether it’s a “him”. the two guys who played with the kitty the other night said that it’s a boy-cat. but i think it’s a girl-cat. i can’t be sure!
