i am extremely worried for my dog. for some reason, i realised that his tail cannot be lifted up. i can lift it up for him but he does not lift it up himself. he is an all day happy dog and his tail is always high up in the air but not now. i tried to feel it for any fractured bone but does not seem like there is any. also, he does not whine when i touch his tail, he just gives me the feeling that he is uncomfortable. if it still persists, i will bring him to the vet. in the meantime, PRAY!

Home Sweet Home!

Yes! I am finally back in Singapore! It is such a good feeling, to see familiar faces and to see my dogs, of course.

So, Japan has SUPER NICE food. we had japanese for every single meal for 10 days. i guess the only problem is accessibility. it is such a big hassle to travel from one place to another and even worse when you have to drag the luggage all over. my sister was telling me that by the time this trip is over, we would have bulging muscles. things are also very expensive so we did not buy anything except for small stuff here and there. what made the trip most worth it was i managed to take a picture WITH a Geisha. not OF one, but WITH one! it was so exciting!

going home had so many things tied in. out of six people, we had 3 confirmed business class seats and 1 confirmed economy class seat. my parents were on standby and apparently, the flight was not only full, but overbooked. in fact, that was a really high chance that my parents would have to standby again tomorrow. later, we received news that my brother's flight from chicago was delayed and might not make it in time to catch the same flight as us. after much waiting, miraculously, not only did my parents get on board, my brother was also in time! he literally ran from gate to gate. so, we are finally a complete Phang family again : D

before we came home, we went to Newton Circus to have Mee Pok and as i reached home, my dog reacted to my calling. i have never seen him so happy. when he saw me, he stopped, stared, and RAN. he jumped and jumped so much till he kissed my cheek before calming down. it was such a great feeling to be united with not just my dog, but all 3 dogs. i really did miss them a lot and they were probably the only major reason why i wanted to be home. my dog was hyper all the way and bumped and jumped into/on me. (typical fudge) my brother got them all treats which made them even more hyper. that huge bone he bought for each of them is definitely going to keep them busy the whole night!

upon reaching my room, a letter sat on my table which has made me extremely happy until now. will blog about it tomorrow. i will also try to include pictures and so on. its 3.45am and time to feel my bed again : D
