When The MOON Meet The SUN

Visit to Singapore Garden Festival 2008

2008-07-25T18:00:00.001+08:00

See this add somewhere? or the ladybug kissing the screen ad on TV?

Well... It was my very 1st visit to garden festival and it's a must go exhibition!!! SUPERB!! Many pretty colourful flowers and beautiful landscape design. Here are some photos taken with my lousy camera *blushing* will invest a better one next time before going to another festival hahahaa..

Never see so many tulips indoor before... and amazing display of air plants.. really creating a serene place

Sorry my camera didn't do justice to this display

This was redder and brighter in real

Lily and paper flowers - like dancing in the air

So romantic!!!

This colourful tubes looks very nice.. and quite easy to create. What u need is colour water and stuff clear plastic inside to create ice cube - jelly look.

I love this bamboo fountain!

Flowers in a hanging test tube

Nice display of philanopsis orchid

Javanese style with wayang golek

Beautiful China pond display

Beautiful display of European garden!!

The next is my favorite.. with water, lighting everything, you can really see the ripples and underwater effect. Even the plants chosen and coloured reminds me of corals.. although I don't find the plants attractive.. but the overall things is really fantastic!

Underwater garden

This marilyn monroe picture on the huge vertical wall easily missed by naked eye... but looks amazing fr the camera view. Can even see her sexy lips lol..

There are a lots of orchids on display (and on sale too) and the price can easily $250+ for those rare orchids. I just took a few shots :)

I love this one - green white orchid

I was surprised with this shot. The centre of the orchid just simply lighted up

Bat Lily - a black beauty I say

I just realised this beauty called bat lily.. it's the same one we found during our trekking at Lor Lada Hitam

Curly ferns

Many African Violets!!! I wonder why mine can't bloom as bushy as this

Big fat Carnivourous Plant - Pitcher Plant / Money Cup

Beautiful Hydrangea

I heard you can changed the colours of flowers from greenish yellow to blue (or the other way around) by watering it with lime.

'Iron Cross' Begonia and not sure what plant (I'm sucks in remembering plant's name)

Another types of leaf begonia on the bottom

These are edible!! cup cakes yeah... it's to pretty to be eaten

Definitely will go again for the next garden festival... which probably another 2 years time :(

Fly with Singapore Flyer

2008-07-19T16:27:00.003+08:00

Well.. I'm not so excited trying the flyer as I practically seeing the whole surrounding monthly for my work.. but since we got a free pass... why not?!! It's saving of $29.50 per person :)

I find this quite cute!!

Taking off!!! look the F1 track is ready! (partially)

Marina Barrack

Interesting view of the steel structure

Oh.. the sitting area for National Day

Reaching the highest point soon!!

Yay!! We are at the highest point!

Well... it's not as high as I expected.. in fact the millenia tower is higher than singapore flyer (see the photo above). After climbing to the roof of Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Millenia Tower (this one is super scary.. there is no parapet wall surrounding the edges only about 15cm kerbs), u know why I wasn't so excited abt Singapore Flyer. Btw, the night view was beautiful ... you can see from Joy's blog :)

See the view that I took from the roof of Ritz-Carlton Hotel... beautiful even with normal camera.. and not obstructed by the glass panels :P

He made me worry and lonely

2008-07-04T15:34:00.000+08:00

Again Suria brother left me home alone for 4 days. A week before he already didn't feel well. Brought him to the same vet at Brighton Crescent (mummy brought me along too and ended up I was injected and dewormed.. ouch.. it pain but good thing I was not allowed to shower for a week yay yay..). Because he showed sign of anemic, the vet thought the babesia tick fever was acting again, so the vet gave him tick fever treatment (no need to hospitalised). A week after he got worse (weak, drool a lot and worse refused his food - which is very rare), no choice at night brought him to Mt. Pleasant clinic (the brighton cresc clinic was closed for a week).

They did check-up and found his heartbeat was irregular and weak. Took X-ray and found lumps near his liver. So, he was admitted that Tuesday night. Of course I felt sad too.. I even refused to sleep with daddy on his bed. Wednesday morning the vet called and told mummy to prepare for the worse coz he was getting worse and didn't want to eat, even got difficulty lifting up his head. That night both my human whisper encouragement words on Suria's ear. Mummy came home that night with goldfish eyes.

Thursday - took him out for ultrasound at Mt. Pleasant hospital. Surprisingly he looked slightly better (Suria brother definitely listening to my human's whispers). Ultrasound result found these:

Two big masses (I hate how the vet called it tumor/cancer) on his spleen. We were given 2 choices, i.e. to remove it (this includes the removal of the whole spleen) or just to let it be and hoping he can survive. No guarantee given even after the removal of spleen he will be better. Without spleen, we will not have ability to filter toxin/germ/virus... so become very prone to fall ill.

My human didn't think too long to make decision to just let it be. The reasons are they don't want Suria to suffer from many illness if the spleen removed. They want Suria brother to have a quality live. Secondly, Suria brother already 7+ y.o. and major operation could be dangerous to him. Thirdly, daddy told him that we have to live to see his grandson's wedding (kekeke... isn't it too much?)

After ultrasound scan, they brought him back to the clinic. He looked much better and can sit down. Poor brother had to be on glucose drip. If u look at his needle... scary. It's like 8cm long go inside his leg. Daddy really "pantang" taking sick photo. Since he was looking better, so mummy took this.

Suria brother gave mummy pitiful look as if saying "Look what they have done to me.. did u see it mummy?"

We brought him home on friday night. My human treat him like fragile item. Go up the car now must carry him. I was so happy to see him again... and he was given nice smelling canned food which I get a share whenever my human feed him (happy although only a very little share).

Currently, his blood count still very low, the masses still there.. but he looks much more active and the greatest thing... he started to beg for food already!!! Keep it up boy!!!

Suria said thank you to everybody for the well wishes and keep him in their prayer :)

World Blood Day

2008-06-15T12:10:00.012+08:00

It felt like back in school day, school excursion kekeke... We got free entry tickets for this World Blood Donor Day. Each donors got 2 free entry tickets. We supposed to go with all the guards (at least 30 of them.. means 60 tickets.. wow) but unfortunately they were not having day off (poor fellas). We utilised 6 tickets and gave away another 5 to tourists :)

We came as early as 8.30am thought of catching elephant bathing.. but the entry only at 9am. Too early and some of animal still sleeping... esp this otters (?) so couldn't see the real thing.. this will do :)

Isabel posing with the tiger (statue of course)

Here is the real one. Handsome fella isn't he?!

I love tiger (and cheetah, and jaguar, and leopard) and it so heartpain to see this.

And can you imagine ppl eating this? spikey tiger penis?

Isabel and Mr. Kanga

Guess who's skin is this?

Yes.. the giraffe. Well not belong to this 3 directly.. maybe their parents /siblings / friends. The male giraffe name is Marco (so exotic!!). They have nice marking =)

Talking abt marking... see this cute zebra cross. But it's not for zebra to cross =P

Singapore Zoo sure got lots of monkeys, quite a lot of variety of monkeys.

Mr. Baboon scratching his back

well.. i'm not a big fan of monkeys because they scared me... so human like esp those orang utan and chimpanzee. But of course I couldn't miss this monkey.. so furry.

Is it consider a monkey?!

Orang Utan's hand is bigger than Pal's

Another thing I love about Singapore Zoo is it's so green and lots of nice scenery. I especially love this one.

And nice plants and flowers too

Back to the animal.. presenting.. nice Emu's backside =)

Giant Tortoise

Ms. Ballerina in the Water (HIPPO - their feet look like pig's)

Sssshhhhhhhhhh

*ribbit*?! no this one more like *houuung* It's a bullfrog. Wanna try to kiss it? who knows it turned into your Prince Charming ;)

Ugly Croc's jaw with lots of wriggly slug in between the teeth *yuck*

Singapore Flyer

2008-06-10T13:23:00.002+08:00

Taken this photo sometimes back from the roof of Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Very nice scenery.

Rain Trek

2008-06-01T12:24:00.002+08:00

The last time we went trekking at this place.. it also raining. This round the sky also very glum but we were still go ahead.

That's not much water.. as usual Suria Brother just gotta wet himself.

Foggy.. r we at genting? brrrrr...

no.. it wasn't foggy at all.. it just mummy's camera getting frozen. However, we did swim thru a deep waterbody. It's about chest high of our humans.

GROUP PHOTO!!! Wet but happy!

A day out to HortPark

2008-05-24T19:53:00.024+08:00

Without the dogs :( next time sure will bring Suria and Luna there.

The Hort Park is super beautiful.. I love it!!! lots of beautiful flowers, green landscape and of course water fountain. Here are some pictures I took there. Pardon my lousy skill :P

Yes yes.. we are at Hort Park the Garden Hub :)

Love the pond.. can you see the reflection on the water.. soothing

Isn't this creative?! Making use of recycle items, i.e. plastic takeaway container, plastic bottles, etc.

Creative idea for terranium.. I'm making one.. err.. someday hahaha..

More of gardening using "junk" .. see the PCK's yellow boot

Baby cradle

If I have a big garden.. I'll definitely having this!!!

This is much prettier than money plant used to cover up the ground.

Just a random photos of beautiful flowers :)

The glass house

Too bad public not allowed to go inside. It's super duper beautiful.. all the flowers inside are blooming and colourful. Managed to take some photos by pressing my camera closed to the glass kekeke ...

Lovely Sunflower

Isn't this super beautiful?! see the yellow flower with black centre... it so look like butterflies!!

Some desert plants :)

Need to cool down?! too bad... can't go in hahaa.. hmm maybe can pretend to accidently fall into it. If bring dogs.. I better hold Suria tight.. or else...

Beach.. Here We Come!!

2008-05-18T20:15:00.002+08:00

After soooo long, finally we back to the beach!! I wasn't overly excited though coz I hate water grrr... but I love to dig kekeke.. Suria brother love the beach!!

Well.. ever since the ranger kept passing here & there and gave warning the last time we went there, my human set me & brother on leash together.

I will follow u..

We are the mascot for these nearly half naked men

Suria brother joined the water polo team

Thaddea aka Ah O is a very good swimmer

Suria brother loves water.. but I didn't say he loves swimming hahaha.. lazy bum. Well, I also was forced to swim. See our pitiful face.

Playing at the beach. Can you see they start to bury me?!

Isabel: Help me!!!! They gimme black nipples

Someone grabbing my breast

Our 1st Studio Photoshot

2008-05-05T13:52:00.003+08:00

After seeing Pixie nice photo for Clubpet's 2nd magazine cover contest, mummy decided to make appointment with themen@work too for our photoshots.

This is our 1st studio photo :)

Suria brother - isn't it look like a passport photo?!

This is pretty me kekekeke..

Ok.. before I spoiled my name, let me make this clear.. I'm not one of Edison Chen's victim. This photo is not obscene.. I'm simply giving a "saluting" pose.. well.. with my hind leg ;)

Back on The Move

2008-04-27T20:19:00.008+08:00

After so many lazy months, at last daddy arranged another trekking. Gee, when was our last trekking? hmmm.. i think it was last year or something. Then I realised that I went all soft and heavier (aka fatter).

Our group this round is sure big.. 34 people.. but only 4 furry one, Oreo, Ah O, Suria brother and me.

Here are the men to protect us! kekeke... 27 Nepalese men!!! Get to your position boys!!

WELCOME TO HELL!!!!

Not even 5 minutes, Suria brother already get himself dirty

Must climb up har?!!

The men became quite handy :P

Look can be deceiving. Initially I thought this was a huge field with nicely cut grass. Look like a dog run isn't it?! Lucky me I didn't go in.. it was actually waterbody with green slimey thing floating on top.

Hide & Seek between tall bushes

On your butt...

Water! Water! Yay!!!

Oreo: Can you carry me? pretty please..

GROUP PHOTOS:

Early Morning @ Near MacRithchie

2007-11-21T19:05:00.000+08:00

I haven't do this for a long long time!!!!

Running wild like a horse

At A Big Open Space

Rolling on wet wet grass

Say hallo to rich fella over the high fences

Posing in front of the camera

1 - 2 - 3 SMILE!!!

Ahhhh!!! I realised what I've missed all this time. I purposely added this smile to let my hoomans know that I prefer this than those boring short walk at night.

Hibernating

2007-11-18T18:47:00.000+08:00

I've been sleeping all this while..

*YAWN* It's time to wake up.

Happy Birthday SINGAPORE!!!

2007-08-06T09:22:00.001+08:00

For all doggies out there, here is the new smash hit song to celebrate the coming Singapore's birthday. Presenting... a new blooming singer... one and only... *drum rolls* my brother ~ SURIA!!!!

Come and Sing Together!!

Suria - Tagged

2007-08-05T21:00:00.000+08:00

I was tagged by Bambam :) Here it goes.

where is your favorite place to sleep?

On cold floor. Most of time in the kitchen or toilet (if I'm in the bedroom - coz the floor is parquet I don't like it, it slippery). I climbed on bed once in a while when my human willing to give continuous hugging and scratch. But they always complain that I pushed them down the bed.

Is there a specific trick your humans make you do to get treats?

It's a routine and I remembered it out of my head.. sit, shake hand, stand, turn around, down, roll, and speak. psstt I tell you a secret, to get the treat faster.. you just need to do all of the above at one go.. like I did ;)

If you could spend an entire day doing anything at all with anyone what would you do and with whom?

I love when my human bring me for car ride.. it means I'm going out to somewhere fun and I can see many ppl on the road, oh.. I love barking at those running at the traffic light or chasing the buses.

what is your favorite toy?

Is food considered as toy?! What is toy?! Oh I know, it's the scary items at home that I must remember not to touch it... because it belong to my scary sister.

If you could change one thing in your life, what would you change?

I wish I'm smaller and lighter. So my human won't be complaining so much that I'm too heavy or took too much space when I jumped on them while they are in bed.

Kiss Me.... muaacchhh!!

2007-08-02T08:30:00.000+08:00

I gotta admit this... Border Collie indeed has pouty lips. After seeing Chester's sexy pouty lips, I went to check on my bro. And he gave me this sultry look.. haha..

Check out his lips!!! So GOTHIC!!

I checked mine butI have a very thin lips and covered with fur haha.. I love to see more pouty lips, so dawgs.. if think you have pouty lips do show me some photos ok :)

Beautiful Place - NANAS

2007-07-30T11:30:00.000+08:00

Cloudy sunday morning.. pack the bag with water, snacks and clothing for change off we go to NANAS. Sorry babes, gotta leave them at home.. but of course.. bribed with milk bones :)

Lucky it's not raining when we reached there.. after some adventures of being lost in cemetary. The driver only have this as map.

Noah's ark area is very big and beautiful. They have dogs, cats and horses. Recently they received lots of animal, due to the recent flood disaster in JB. This is such a pleasant sight, the malay muslim people there not scared/disgusted by dogs.

THE GATE KEEPER

WELCOME TO NANAS!

There are many dogs, a lot of dogs.. they are everywhere!!!

Unlike the immigration officers, these dogs always greet you with SMILE!!

There are quite a number of 3-legged dogs

But they are as active as normal

Heard from K, that it's better to chop off the leg completely instead of leave it hanging at joint like this.. so poor thing.

NANAS is really a big and beautiful place

The residents there allowed to roam around freely. Although some of them already formed a gang and "marked & chopped" their territory. This is their life...

Lazy and Free Life

Allowed to pee and poo anywhere and everywhere (see the dalmation!!)

They have their own "house" or shelter to share with others

Unlimited supply of food!! It's abundance! All the dogs there are well fed

Oh, they have horses too!

This is one grumpy horsey. She reminded me of Suria. When nobody pay attention to her, she will sigh loudly and grumble

Horse and Dog are sharing the stable. See the cutey snuggle comfortably inside this horse's stable?!

OHIO! Welcome to Kitty's lazy lounge

This is the cutest paw I've ever seen

Aren't puppies cute?!

Not sure how many dogs are there.. Lynda said she is thinking to buy a paint marker like those farmer used in Aussie to count sheep. Any sponsor?? :P

Dogs always around you whenever you go, poking their noses into our pocket looking for treat.

Someone purposely bought a raincoat to avoid "signature" paw print (some come with mud, pee and poo) on their clothing.

This brownie so handsome!!

Some random photos of doggies there

Isn't he look like a pai kia (bad boy)?!!

Gotta post this - this JRT's tail is so cute!

Oh, I won't forget him!! The "pervert" dalmation. Hump every legs he see. He is so big, fat, strong and give you a very tight hug!!

Go home happy and covered with lots of wet kisses!!

My crazy sister

2007-07-26T15:40:00.000+08:00

Luna is crazy!! I wonder why she is so interested with moving lights. I can tell that she know it came from the human's hand... still.. she never fail to chase it. What a waste of energy.. I rather chase jogger... *woof*

Mangoes!!

2007-07-15T12:00:00.000+08:00

Daddy came back from India and he bought a box of mangoes.. and all for us.. huahahaha.

At first we didn't know that is mango. It look quite unattractive. But we sort of can smell something.. something delicious.

Suria Brother Checking out the Mangoes

Mummy then cut it off, it's so juicy and orangee. Well, she is not an expert with knife.. so excuse the messy look of the mangoes.. but I promised you it taste heavenly sweet.

Suria brother doing what dogs are good at... staring at the food.. concentrate.. come here.. don't be shy.. come closer..

It's getting there.. CLOSER!!!

GOTCHA!!!

Don't you dare touch my voluptuous err... mangoes!

Prayer For Kutti-Boy

2007-07-08T21:21:00.000+08:00

We were invited for Kuti-boy's 2nd year rainbow bridge anniversary. He passed away two year ago when he was 12 y.o. due to heartworm. He was the fiercest dog until my daddy never bring us to meet him. Daddy loved him dearly though. He remembered putting Kuti-boy inside his bike helmet when he was only a palm big and rode down the road with him. Daddy gave Kuti-boy to his friend because the lady just couldn't part with Kuti-boy. Only 4 persons could touch him. The lady, her sis, her mum and my daddy.

When he passed away, the lady was very upset. But things became better and she got married this year. Kuti-boy faded away fr her life as she moved house to be with her husband. She remembered doing this prayer for kuti-boy only because Kuti-boy came to her in her dream and pawing her, warm breath on her face and whining for food. Out of sudden. Then she suddenly woke up and remembered that it's his death anniversary.

Boy.. look at the spread she offered him

The kids were busy patting us while we were busy staring at the delicious spread on the banana leaf left in front of us.

This is Kuti-boy's mummy

Suria Brother did the prayer for Kuti-boy too

OK DONE!! Can we have the food now?

Have you ever seen Indian movie? When feeding the children, the mother will take a big plate of rice and side dishes. Sit down on the floor surrounded by her childrens. Mixing the rice and make rice balls and feed the children using her hand. It's something new for me =)

Suria: Do u think she'll feed me too?? kekeke..

The little girl said "come Suria you can have mine" but all others "No no no.. suria go away..." hahaha..

The little girl LOVES Suria.. here.. she was singing and dancing for him.. tsk.. kids!!

Our humans

2007-07-04T09:14:00.000+08:00

I was tagged by Fei-chan to tell more about our humans. Nothing much to tell about my humans though because they live a simple life.

This is my mummy

Although in the photo it look like she was torturing us just for the sake of taking photo, well.. in real life she wasn't too bad =P

She is working in construction company and all her working experience involve making MRT Stations and no, it doesn't mean that me and Suria brother allowed to take MRT ride after the job is completed. She used to stay in Melbourne for 6 years. She went to Monash Uni for her engineering degree. She loves movies, songs (although she is a horrible singer), games and fun. psstt.. tell you a secret... she can't swim =P

This is my daddy

As you can see, I'm his blue-eye girl (but I have brown eyes.. kekeke...). He is working as Corporate Security Officer and now undertaking diploma degree in security with all police and civil servants. He loves animals and other living things, to the extend of refusing to ride horses and elephants, talking to his plant and scolded me for killing a cockroach. Although he is a short temper guy but he has a kind heart. His favorite to-do-things are lazying around topless with a can of beer and peanut and watching tamil / hindi movies. COUCH POTATO!!

Because I always posted late as usual, now I'm not sure who left to tag =P

Happy Barkday Mavy and Lizzy!

2007-07-02T10:56:00.000+08:00

We had a fun pawty last night. Lizzy and Mavy are slightly younger (by few months) compared to Suria Brother and Me. Lizzy & Suria brother are 6 years old. Maverick and Me are 3 years old.

Everyone in the photo except Uncle Jack and Andy (MIA, heard that they went "prawning").

Yummy food for the humans!! Oh no.. forgotten to take a snap on the chicken wings

This look so cute!

You can get those cute muffins and cookies from No Bones About It. Oh, I didn't take the photo of the birthday cake too =(

The Hamsum BOYS!!

A Rose among the Thorns

Errr.. but it look like the boys getting cozy sitting down close to each other and the girl shy away

Another Pretty girl, Nova, and Shadow

Record breaking.. 5 dogs in one photo! It's a tough job!

More photos here :)

Editted: Added my photo.. as requested by Fei-chan =P

Can you see me?!! I'm too dark :(

Langkawi Trip

2007-06-28T12:54:00.000+08:00

Well deserved holiday =) Thanks Jasmine for helping me to take care of Princess Luna. Suria not as lucky as Luna, he had to stay in M&M during our holiday. Yeah.. lots and lots of photo and because I'm so lazy, only few will be posted =P

Pal's colleagues told so many bad thing about Langkawi just few days before our trip. And the hotel we stayed was actually only 2.5 star hotel. But surprise surprise, things weren't as bad as described. We rented a Toyota Vios during our stay for RM140 (plus RM30 for petrol).

Our hotel - Awana Porto Malai

The view from our room.. beautiful!

The swimming pool

Fish Feeding Place near the restaurant - Clear water and lots of fishes

Our Dinner - SEDAP!!

Tom Yum soup, huge Thai sauce Fish (not in the photo), kangkong belacan, chilli crabs, lots of drinks and watermelon juice. Guess what.. all in all we only spent RM75... cheap!!

Not many restaurants selling beer though. But when we found beer in supermarket, Pal was the happiest man. Carlbergs only RM1.70 per can (that's like S$0.80.. cheaper than a can of coke in Singapore). I noticed something, Malaysia sell lots of drink containing tongkat ali. Here is one in the can, and many others mixed with coffee powder.

A prove that we went to Langkawi - The Giant Eagle Statue

The Eagle Statue is at Kuah Town, lots of beautiful scenery

Errrrr....

Then we travel north to see eagle feeding. Rented a boat for 2 hours for RM200 (actually can seat in 8 ppl.. but we just took it for 4 of us).

Sea breeze, windy, beautiful scenery, mangrove jungle, monkeys

Stop at Hole in the Wall (it's like Kelong)

Feeding Sting Ray! Isn't he look fierce?!

NOT!! Look smiley face!

I can't believe this thing edible!!

Here fishy, fishy, fishy!!!

Can you see the eyes and nose?

Eagle Feeding

Frozen chicken meats thrown into the water, then mix it up using boat's propeller. Switch off the engine, then you can see lots of eagles flew across the water and grab the meat, which immediately eaten while flying.

A souvenir from the eagle!

Bat Cave!! I couldn't find batman though :(

The cave was smelly like urine smell. One suggestion, when walking inside don't anyhow touch things, see what we found along the handrail. yuck!! Bat's shit!!

Lots of black marks on the cave wall. It used to be a swallow bird nest there. But human had harvested the bird nest which actually bird saliva.. hmmm..

Simply love the place, isn't it beautiful?!!

Even the roaches beautiful... NOT!!!

Next stop - Waterfall!!

Cool Refreshing Flowing Water!!

Oh, saw this kitty. Cute, isn't he?! Beautiful eyes too, one blue and other orange

This monkey really know how to serve himself

Cable cart ride, it's a must if you go Langkawi. But not recommended for those who has height-phobia... LOL. We went up high to top of mountain. It's more than 700m from sea level.

Especially if you have to ride on one of this

Beautiful scenery taken from inside cable cart

Curved Suspension Bridge

Twin Peak

Massage and Foot reflexology on top of mountain

We suppose to be able to view spectacular sunset from this peak. But unfortunately it was a cloudy day. But hey.. looks amazing too!!

Saw this mirror.. SUN and MOON!! My Suria and Luna!! OK.. noticed the spelling error...

Sunday morning when Joy and Jack went to relax on the beach, me & Pal went to Langkawi Underwater world although Pal's friend mentioned that can't see many fishes in there and the water is cloudy.

No fish?? What do you think?

I have difficulty taking photo of fishes behind the glass. The flash seems to reflect back. But without flash, it often blur as the fishes are moving very fast. Well.. time for new camera =)

We took lots of fishes and penguins photos... here few of them.

I love how penguins waddle and hopping.. they look so cute

And of course my favorite.. seahorses

Pulau Ubin Trip ring ring

2007-06-20T12:00:00.000+08:00

Slight drizzle in the morning didn't stop us. Although so many people couldn't make it for this trip, we still go ahead. Only me and Theddea going. The trip was GREAT!!!! Weather even better there. No rain, slightly cloudy which is good so it's not too hot. Yet my humans still have some imbalance tan.

Changi Village Jetty

WELCOME TO PULAU UBIN!!

kuttA

2007-06-16T09:31:00.000+08:00

I'm jealous with Suria brother. Daddy always told everyone that Suria Brother is the real Indian dog. He has a mole right on his forehead in between his eyes.

I tried once to remove that black dot. Bit it off once during our small fight, right on that black dot. But it grew back.. sigh.. attemp failed.

Mummy tried to cheer me up. She said I can anytime put a bindi.. hmm.. what's bindi?!! Like this??

Oppss, it doesn't stay put!

That flower I found few weeks ago after my human came back from the Indian wedding.

Well, flower obviously didn't work. Then I saw this.. mummy got lots of it, she bought a dozen of it for a dollar.

This is what I call Indian kuttA!!

Nice design.. I like :)

Mummy kept laughing seeing this photo and said I look like an "ah gua" (transvestite).

Do I? Do I look like ah gua??

He Got A New Haircut

2007-06-11T14:05:00.000+08:00

My food competitor is home already!! He was back last Friday. I was scolded because I ate my food very fast and heading towards Suria Brother's bowl. Mummy said "Silly girl!! His food got lots of medicine in it. Go outside and wait". Haizz....

Suria brother is very dirty too. That day when he came back, I heard him fart!! It smell too!! After dinner, as usual he did the business and I was sitting with Mummy in living room, he did the "business" very loudly. When we went to peep... man... horrible sight.. pool of shits. He got diarrhoea and it was very very bad. The colour and texture is exactly like that hot fudge you order from MacDonald. But not the smell though.. it smell like one week of shits. Mummy swear she'll never gonna eat hot fudge sundae no more.

Last saturday he was out again for quite sometime, I had to stay at home and was very worried. But after he came back I laughed and laughed at his new haircut.. It was very short, and he looks more like a hamster now.. LOL..

Oh ya.. here somemore interesting link about babesia gibsoni, after reading more.. we are glad we found it earlier so Suria Brother no need to go through blood transfusion.

Update on Suria

2007-06-06T10:22:00.000+08:00

Firstly, thanks all for keep Suria in your prayer for his health. He is getting better by days. Although he still hospitalised, but most importantly the temperature has gone back to normal. Blood count still below average.

The blood test results has unveiled that he has tick fever. I just learned that there are two types of tick fever, canine babesiosis and canine ehrlichiosis. Suria suffered the babesia fever. The normal blood smear test carried out by the vets is only can roughly detect the ehrlichiosis type. Vet did blood smear for Suria but it's negative. But after the lab blood test, he was detected with babesiosis gibsoni. I was glad I found it out on time and I'm glad the vet did gave him tick fever treatment from the day 1 he is hospitalised.

Lesson learnt:

Even you put tick prevention drip on your dogs, do regular check on your dog. I'm going to check every week at least.
Monitor your dog appetite. If he lost appetite, take his temperature. Dog normal temperature is around 38.6 deg C. If the temperature > 39 degC, better bring to the vet.
Check his gum too. If it's whitish, the dog is seriously ill.
If your dog got ticks long time ago and still ok today, it doesn't mean that no infection. The tick fever can appear when the dog is weaker or stress. So, better ensure the dogs are happy =)

He Didn't Come Home

2007-06-04T08:29:00.000+08:00

He left me sleeping alone last night. Suria Brother didn't come home =(

Yesterday afternoon my humans brought him out and left me home alone. When they came back, I didn't see Suria Brother. At first I was happy because less one competitor during meal time. But then I felt lonely.. very lonely and... I miss him!!!

I knew that he was very weak the last few days. He ate less too and he left my kibbles alone. Worse still... he refused his favorite milkbones. I knew my humans getting very worried. But where did they brought him to??!! COME HOME SOON BIG BRO!!!

Jenny wrote:

We left Suria with the vet because he is having very high fever (40 deg). He lost his appetite, very weak and his gum is very white. Vet did blood test on him and thank goodness liver, kidney etc are in good order. But his haemogoblin is low that's why his gum is white. So, vet suggested him to stay overnight there so he can monitor his progress because 40deg for a dog's temperature is consider very high.

We'll definitely bring him home tonight. He will get better and recover (strong word makes possible). And Luna missed him terrible. Luna didn't behaving herself last night. Luna who always sleep with Pal on the bed, suddenly disappear from Pal's side. Pal was worried and took a peep on her.. guess what she was doing..... She slept outside at the kitchen entrance. It's Suria's favorite sleeping spot. Pal called her to come but she refused. She slept there the whole night. She really miss him =(

Wedding, Flowers and Colourful Saree

2007-05-28T09:56:00.000+08:00

I had been busy week for us and free weeks for the dogs. Pal had been staying at home last week preparing for the exam, means that Suria and Luna were having more food. Somemore we gotta skip trekking coz of Pal's friend (Valli's) wedding, the dogs gonna be FAT!! But at the end the trekking also cancelled.

Wednesday we went to Valli's bangle ceremony (engagement party). Some random photos.

Coconuts

Bitter leaves

All the guests greeted at the door with this. Not sure what's inside the long container, i guess it's some kind of rose water. Dipped finger onto the red powder, then to the yellow liquid and dot it on your forehead between the eyebrows.

Fire is used to purifying. It's like holy water in church.

Oh, this was beautiful. Too bad my camera couldn't capture the bling-ness of the beads.

I can see with my own eyes how a woman transform after the make up. Gee.. they looks so much different, smooth complexion and more beautiful.

The wedding on Sunday was in a temple. So Pal insisted me to wear Indian clothing too. So, well.. no choice.. last minute rushed to little India to buy Punjabi suit (it's easier to wear). I don't really like the material (so uncomfy), but Pal said all like that.. it's expensive too around $80 and it doesn't fit me well. The wedding was in the morning 8.30am, too early for me *yawning*. We were rushing and I forgotten to bring the shawl. No.. I won't let you see me wearing Punjabi suit.. haha.. instead, here is the glimpse on what I wore =P

Nice decoration on the temple roof

The wedding ceremony carried out at the temple 2nd storey, no aircon, huge open air area but covered roof. And imagine this two 'musician' able to create loud music for huge place, no need loud speaker, mic, etc.

Yellow Rice

I learned a lesson when throwing yellow rice at the wedding couple. "Don't stand in front!!" or else everybody behind will throw the rice on you. Pal got rice stucked on his head.

Exchange flowers

Bride groom's brother held the bride groom's hand and he held the bride's hand and she held the bride groom's sister's hand and went around the errmmm not sure what. Do u get what I wrote? *scratch head*

The bride groom bend down and put toe ring on the bride's toe

Newly Wed couple - look tired but happy =)

One thing I noticed, that's lots lots of flowers they used.

And of course the FOOD!! They served Vegetarian Dishes from Komala's restaurant. YUMMY!

Isn't this just look like fried chicken?! Actually this is fried Cauliflower.

Belly Tag

2007-05-27T20:32:00.000+08:00

I was belly tagged by Fei last week =P Here it goes....

Mummy said when I turn around turtle, I look like chimpanzee because I have sparse fur on my belly *blushing*

Unlike my big bro, he got lots of fur down there.. he is hairy!!! ok boy, due for grooming soon. How about waxing?

Short Circuit Part II

2007-05-22T13:03:00.000+08:00

It's been quite sometimes since I posted about Luna "short circuitness", well.. it's getting slighly better. She still doing this habit but her reaction now is slower, maybe she used to it already or.. Suria is getting smarter.. or NOT!!

Last Sunday, Pal was sitting on the floor leaning on sofa. As usual Luna was on the bed and Suria was lying down near the room door. Look like this... err.. don't laugh at my unskilled drawing =P

Oh, Pal did the clothes rack from the corner to put a sofa so we can watch TV comfortably.

Anyway, suddenly Pal gave out a loud sneeze (sneeze no. 1). Luna perked up, grow a little and back to sleep. Suria was immediately into sitting position.

Then not long after, Pal gave out the louder sneeze (sneeze no. 2). Suria was "zzzzzoooommmmm" immediately into the toilet. Never seen him run that fast before in his life. Leaving Luna stand on the bed look confused.

Well, Suria is getting smarter in handling this situation. But... err.. wasn't he DUH?? Isn't the exit door to the living room is nearer than running to the toilet? Hahaha... silly boy!

What I Did Last Weekend?

2007-05-16T13:04:00.000+08:00

I was busy.. herding.. yeah.. you heard me right. I was herding sheep last sunday *woof*

Mummy was out for Mother's Day dinner with her aunt and Luna was forced by daddy to have shower. So, I could have the laptop for myself for a while and I herd sheep on computer. See.. that's me in the middle.

Quite easy game though. You can download the trial from here http://www.reflexive.com/Sheeplings.html

Something unique.. Honey Paw Cream (smell like lavender). F&E knew I love trekking, how thoughtful they are.. yeah.. I'm a girl so must keep my skin smooth and well-moisturise. Thanks girls!!

(Jenny wrote: I helped Luna to put on the cream on her paw. I guess she couldn't resist the honey, she kept licking it. Greedy girl!!)

I love this the most. Fei's photo in baby pink cloth. How did she know I love this photo of her the most. Isn't she cute?!!

Oh.. love letter from Fei & Eve.. *grinning*..

Nah!!! I can't wait.. attack!!!

Oh, Fei asked me to share it with Suria Brother. But but.. I like it, I want to have it all. Tsk, eventhough I don't want to share with him....

He'll serve himself.. see..

Suria: I love it too!!

THANKS FEI & EVE for the wonderful presents. We love it!!

Last weekend Pal was busy make ready staff to bring for the next trekking. Then he noticed one of his gloves that he normally use during trekking is missing.

We were searching high and low for it. He pretty sure he washed it and put on the chair in the room along with other clothing. We even check under the bed. Now it's missing.

Yesterday, when he came home as usual Suria and Luna will greet him. And Luna will normally bring a toy to show us. This round she couldn't find any toy (because I washed all her toys and hang to dry). Guess what she brought instead... She brought Pal's missing glove. Orhhh... so she was the one hiding it. Pal was happy to find it.. until he saw this.

2 out of 5 finger were bitten off... err.. should I say eaten off. Not a single piece scatterred on the floor we could find anywhere.

The gloves are made of cow skin. Maybe Luna found it tastes good, like beef. So lucky girl and boy got beef for dinner.

(Luna: yeah.. I can do this more often.. kekeke..)

"She is a trouble maker.
She lives in leafy dells and bluebell glades.
She is only seen in the mist of an early morning.
She wears bluebell-blue dresses. She has delicate pale pink wings like a cicada"

Errr... I don't really like they called me a trouble maker, but I love the delicate pale pink wings.. kekeke...

UPDATE: FOUND HIM!!! TING HAS FOUND JJ!! YEAH!!!

We were early but not as early as the Krazyman-family. Benji became more and more handsome =)

Oh, we found this weird thing. I wonder what is it. Anyone know??

The weather was superb.. Suria in action but slightly too hot. So off we go into the cooling forested area.

Suria is Choco only good friend and he becaming over protective over Suria and chased away Toto.

(Russ trapped between Choco and Toto)

Russ: Err.. PEACE man!! Don't fight here..

I better get out of here, FAST!!

We saw different types of mushrooms. Aren't they look nice?!

Water water... yeah.. and all the dogs jumped in.. including a little boy.

Benji is a good dog, he pray and thank to God before drinking

While somebody rinsing her shoes upstream =P

SURIA!!! Don't soak there too long. Watch out behind you.. there are crocs in the water.

Don't believe?? Look at this!!!

Then we decided to take group photo =P and everybody in this shot.

The bushes getting denser.. oowww.. we lost!!

Kidding... soon we reached to shed 53 and had our pawty!! While the guys went to fetch the food, the girls were busy... chatting... telling ghost story.. boo!!

Mummy showing off her rugged pants and bite mark (lucky she was wearing long pants or else.. )

My presents!!! opss.. more like Our presents!!

All in all, we had 2 cakes from Natural Pooch, 1 banana/walnut cake baked with love by Carol, a plate of pizza and lots of cookies and muffin by Ting and Elin (Lick-a-Licious). And guess what.. we finished all of that!!!

Human's food - Chicken curry & loaf, fruit salad, chicken wings and watermelon / grapes.

It's Pawty Time!!

Mummy was laughing non-stop when looking at this photo of mine.. I wonder why?!!

(Jenny: hahahahahaha....)

Still Raining... sigh

2007-04-16T11:16:00.000+08:00

Rain seems to have timing nowadays, around 1 pm on weekdays and 3.30 pm on weekend. Last saturday we were cheated. It was bright sunny afternoon at Hougang, my humans decided to bring us along to the garage sale. However, after reaching Serangoon Garden (15 minutes after), it was raining.. heavily. So, we had to go back home.. alone =( Humans still proceed to garage sale.

The garage sale was quite happening and of course.. can meet the adorable handsome so guai Mister Toto. Mummy bought a bag and daddy enjoyed the fishing game. Should have video-ed it down, mummy said he was crazy and laughing out very loud after managed to catch the octopuses.

They still dare to tell me that they went to eat Paper Wrapped Chicken after that... on my birthday.. hicks... I should have followed them if not for the rain.. arrgghh...

Uncle Jack telling how good is this chicken.

He said "I used to come here when I was a puppy.." huh?!!

Here it come!!

No no.. can't eat the paper.. must open it up first

On sunny Sunday near noon, we went to recce the site for the next trekking. Well, more like for picnic location. We went to near Portsdown area.

Huge green field :)

Tarzan

Behind me on that bridge, there was a colourful kingfisher.. can you see it? haha.. i bet not =P but it was there.

(jenny wrote: isn't Luna look like a reporter here?! hahaha)

Suria: Oppss.. just passing through...

The humans decided to take our group photo... haha.. that's sure a lot of shouting of sit-stay to do.

Nice butts

Look at Jewel's expression. Jewel: I don't want to sit next to Suria, he drools...

Oh ya.. one question: what is the colour of the pants that the guy on the right is wearing? He insisted it was green. I think he is colour blind.. keke..

At Last!! Ta Da!! Suria and his girlfriends haha...

Me & Suria Brother

Enough posing and playing, we headed to Kent Ridge Park to look around for walk location. Expect lots of steps peeps =)

And more posing.. hahaha...

See you all next week for our (Jewel, Suria Brother and Me) birthday picnic cum walk. Hope the weather is good *paw crossed*

Rain Rain Go Away!!

2007-04-13T13:12:00.000+08:00

The weather is crazy this last few days. Always rain in the afternoon. Even as I'm typing this entry. Alone at home in the cold kitchen (alone as in no human to company me at home).. lucky thing I have a fluffy brother to keep me warm =)

I hope the weather getting all sunny tomorrow coz we are heading to Mister Toto's old house for garage sale. They have quite a number of items on sale.. see here. So.. we need SURIA (aka Sun)!!

Oh, I know!! Maybe can suggest Toto to hang Teru Teru Bozu on his window.

"The teru-teru bozu is a doll used to pray for fine weather. First of all, a sheet of paper (tissue paper in your guest room) is rolled into a small round ball. Then it is wrapped up with another sheet of a cone and is attached to form body. Eyes are painted on the head. It is hung on the curtain rail or similar. Please chant “ teru-teru-bozu, bring fine weather tomorrow!” You can then go to bed with the hope that the following day will be fine. If the teru-teru bozu does not answer your prayer, it is left dangling in the rain. Throw it into the trash box as punishment. " - taken from here.

The doll must be hanged face downward (like praying). And if you wish came true, you must pour sake on the doll head to thank it. Mummy's office hanged many of them (looks creepy like hantu pocong - muslim ghost) few months back. It's true the weather getting better but oppss.. they didn't pour sake on the dolls so haha.. the wish no more granted. Happy trying!!!

Walking in The Rain - Jalan Lam Sam

2007-04-09T10:10:00.000+08:00

Weather was hot!! sizzling hot.. so when the rain came nearly at the end of the trekking, we felt refreshed and cool! Lucky it didn't rain when we were climbing the mountain. Anyway.. here are some photos =)

Elin & Bear Bear - Gimme 5!!

Look, I have Japanese eyes

Lady : I think this side of my face looks prettier

At last the boys arrived (Choco & Paddy). Let's go!!

Suria: Look Luna!! I have brown legs like you

The humans were panting when they reached the top. We have 4 legs.. mountain climbing was peanut.

Nice view from the top!

Lady: Took photo of my back. I never see my back before.

They look sweet together

Enough posing.. Move move.. move off the track

Jewel : Take my photo!! I have new haircut

Mummy: This was the little sucker that bit my bum!!

Our mascot in action - of course.. with his signature pose

It's hard to slide down and tried not to look unglam at the same time

Isn't this look like needle mushrooms?!

Mushroom

Huge Spider

Many tadpole eggs. Oh! I can see the baby tadpole inside

Ah!!! This is refreshing!

We saw coconut trees and many coconut. Daddy tried to climb the tree. Although he is born in the year of monkey.. but haha.. he can't climb the tree.. Action only!!

From far we saw rambutan trees with thousands of red rambutan fruit. The tree was so high.. see what we got. They were juicy and sweet. Refreshing and of course.. free!!

Nah!! We didn't climb the tree.. It was so tall. These Thailand workers picked it for us. They were so agile and can climb to the top branch easily.

More photos here and Carol's blog. Still waiting for Joy and Ting to post up theirs and of course.. the group photo =)

Eek!! Wasp Nest!!

2007-04-06T18:39:00.000+08:00

We found this outside our house.. in our "forest"... on our neem tree~!

This morning Jeannie & Jewel's human came over to our place together with mummy. While waiting for daddy to open the door, they saw a wasp flown in carrying a large green caterpillar. It was amazing how it managed to squeeze in the caterpillar into the nest through small holes and many caterpillars already inside. The nest was about 8cm long.

Isn't it look like an astronout?

I think this was a solitary wasp's nest.. because it built the nest from mud.

Aunty Joy said wasp is venomous stinger. Found this photo in wiki. Scary right?!

Initially daddy didn't want to destroy it. But after seeing the above photo, daddy immediately took umbrella and decided to remove it.

Can see the caterpillars wriggle??

Inside like full with caterpillar.. not even a single empty space

Big fat green caterpillar. At least they were about 5cm long.

Blackie Happiness

2007-04-02T10:33:00.000+08:00

My humans came home late last Saturday. They went to visit Blackie in his new house. He shifted to the fosterer's neighbour house 3 weeks ago. So far so good. The new owners love him very much. Although they are saying Blackie is naughty.. but the way they say it is full of love. Sounds like.. he is naughty but I'm proud of him.

Blackie was so happy to see us again. See how tall he is when he stands on both hind legs. He nearly can kiss daddy cheek.

My humans were impressed on how Blackie look now. Within 3 weeks, his coat is shiny and healthy. He put on lots of weight too. They said Blackie has a very good appetite. See this...

Blackie : I have double collar. Grandpapa put it on for me.

(Blackie: Welcome to my new house!! This is my mummy's leg. Although she speaks quite loud, but I can tell she loves me.)

Blackie's mummy said Blackie loves to follow her out and take a stroll outside by himself. Everytime she opened the gate and drove her car out, Blackie always sneaked out and she has to chase him and bring him back. One day Blackie ran out and went very far, she let him be and closed the gate. In the afternoon, the grandpapa saw Blackie waited outside the gate. Smart boy knows how to come back safely. Now everytime Blackie ran out, they opened up the side gate for him to come back.

The other day Blackie ran out again, and apparently went to nearby coffee shop. He "ta pao" (pack) a package of Nasi Briyani (in a plastic bag) and brought it home (stray never change.. tsk tsk tsk).

Blackie loves it when you stroke his head

And when you stop...

Ah... that's the way

Blackie: This is my granpapa's leg. He always feed me good lots of good food

Blackie: This is my new sister. She's on heat now, so she has to stay in the cage

Blackie: This is my new brother. He is quite barkish.. but he is ok with me.

I'm so glad Blackie at last found his forever home. Special thanks to "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN" team for giving us support all these while. Thank you!!

HAPPY BARKDAY to My Precious Brother

2007-03-30T22:43:00.000+08:00

HAPPY 6th BARKDAY Suria Brother!!

I wish you all happiness, health and lots of food and bones to eat.. yay.. and don't forget to share it with me. Mummy and daddy said we'll celebrate our barkday together (mine is coming soon =P ).

They showed me some of your photo when you were 3 years old. How time flies. Two words for you.. "FAT BOY!!" hahaha.. You were so chubby, so rounded. But I noticed something, your look cuter when chubby and your fur actually nicer when you were fatter.. hmmm.. but now you are handsome =D

Thanks for taking care & protect me when I was a puppy and letting me stay in your house and never bully me.

But it doesn't mean I won't bully you anymore.. *evil grin*

Drumstick anyone?!

2007-03-30T12:00:00.000+08:00

Trick ya!! I'm not talking about chicken drumstick, so sip up that drools doggies =P

I saw this tree at Blackie's ex-fosterer place few weeks back. Daddy said it is Murunga Keerai Plant, which also known as Moringa oleiferad or drumstick tree or horseradish tree. They said the fruit look like drumstick.. that's how the name derived (err.. doesn't make sense isn't it?!! it doesn't look like drumstick)

Apparently, this plant has many purposes (check it out here and here). Mostly every parts of the plant can be used, from the leaves, flower, seed, root, pods, bark and oil.

We went back there to 'harvest' the leaves but too bad the landlord requested Blackie's ex-fosterer to chop down the tree. But it was so easy to grow back.. see the young leaves already growing from the chopped trunk.

Oh, we also found a recipe on how to cook the leaves into yummy dishes. Daddy said he will try to cook it one day. Hmmm.. I wonder whether he'll share with me or not. I'm not worry that much though.. I hate green vegetables... ekkk...

Got Yogurt?!

2007-03-28T09:04:00.000+08:00

OMG!!! I look so unglam here. Whatta huge nostril I have.

Kampong Trail

2007-03-26T09:40:00.000+08:00

Weather was good and more importantly good company =) Although we have to change the location of our trekking last minute and not many people can join us this round, we still had lots of fun.

Location - Jalan Kampong Chantek

There are two cuties joining us this round, Russell and Isabelle. Although they are small and petite, they sure always at the front of the group and never seen to run out of breath. These kids are tough..

We took the durian loop (well.. we didn't see any durian though *rolling eyes*) and Nangka loop (we saw some nangka aka jackfruit seed along the path).

Russ: C'mon hurry up.. I saw water.. water.. YEAH!!

Lots of posing...

And our supermodel mascot (and his signature pose..)

Suria: Move on already?! I still want to soak :(

Can I not wetting my legs?

Suria: Are we going through that?

Joy: Let me lit my ciggies. It's dark in there.

It was pitch black in there but it looks so much brighter with camera flash light.

Russ: Woo hoo!!! I'm stuck in the mud

Pal: Look I got a big fish

wow.. and a bigger one

huh?!! up again?

Hurry up.. these aunties are so slow

We spotted some monkeys and err.. can smell their shits smell.. yuck!! Then we quickly turned back.

Some photos of plants and insects. It actually look nicer in the photo, only this web picasa really reduce the resolution =( next time should have just upload here directly.

Back to nature

Of course.. group photo =) (missing Eleanor)

Ah... this is refreshing

Click here for more photos and clearer photos =)

After trekking, we headed to JJJJ's house and as usual having beers and food. Daddy cooked bee hoon and chicken wings.

2007-03-18T22:07:00.000+08:00

Yeah!! my humans brought me for site recee today. Uncle Jack brought us (yeah.. we follow JJJJ's van and I had a privilege to sit on the sofa =)

The place is very nice and green inside

Although I thought it's a bit dry.. but wait,

I saw mud pool.. yeah...

But then again.. not exactly really dry. We found a pond!! Jeannie and Jewel of course be the first to jump in and swim. Me?! you know me...

Photographer testing her brand new 12 hours camera and of course.. posing.. her pretty model

These morning glory are beautiful. I tried hard not to step them.

Camera trick??

Nice view from above

Uncle Jack and his "catch of the day"

Pisang emas!! I love it. We also saw lots of coconuts and durians. But we didn't managed to be so lucky getting durian drop on our head. But we sure enjoy it very much and going home..

Dirty and Muddy

Happy and....

I don't want to go home

Well.. at least we were not going home straight. The day still bright and the humans are just too inspired something we saw on top of a truck.

Mummy got herself 'partially' tanned. Now that's look like upside down Indonesian flag.

More photos here from Jeannie and Jewel's blog.

Who is This?!

2007-03-16T12:48:00.000+08:00

Look what did I draw? or more like...

Who is this?

That was on the 1st attempt.. so pardon the wobbly paws. I'm so not used to draw with mouse.

Cemetary Walk

2007-03-15T09:08:00.000+08:00

sooorrryyy... I took so long to post these photos from last trekking, but luckily Jeannie & Jewel already posted some =P

surprise, there were so many black dogs (including me!) and so many mongrels, let me count... me, jeannie, choco, paddy, lady, krabby, ash and heidi. Woo hoo... 8 mongrels!!

Mongrels Rule!!

The Border Collies

The last time we saw Choco was a month ago, wow.. he sure grow very fast. He is taller and fatter =P and he has black fur showing up.. it makes him look more like GSD now.

Choco loves Suria Brother

I noticed that Krabby and me have the same habit... we love to rub our face on sands. I did this too before he came.

While human trying very hard to keep their footwear dry,

We were more brave to get our paws wet and dirty... except..

Choco!! Don't block the way!!

This look yummy!! oh.. did you see that ant on top of this mushroom?!

Then we saw this big pineapple. It looks ripe, thought of plucking it up. But then someone said that is for offerring.. err.. better leave it alone then.

I tell you this boy tough.. He got his leg injured yet he could walk without any problem, not even limping. Lucky someone was prepared with first aid kit, and also qualified first aider =P

Then we met someone with GRs, he looks so familiar, hmm.. he looks like Uncle Ronald, hey... he is uncle Ronald with his goldens...

Our yummy meal for the day was brought by dirtydawgs (but I didn't see Mavy =( )

Krabby's bandaged had been taken out and luckily the wound very fast dried up.

Paddy Boy!!

Paddy has very cute paws.. looks like skeleton's marking =P and he got a unique head shape like a bull terrier. Paddy is still looking for a good home to stay. For more details for his adoption, please see here.

Pretty Lady

Heidi

Aren't they look so sweet together?!

Mr. Policeman =)

Choco Boy

Choco is also still up for adoption. I bet you he gonna make an excellent guard dog. See those black spots on his tongue (he got 3 spots), people said dogs with black spots on tongue is a very good and loyal dogs.

I have black spot on my tongue too!

CNY Reunion Dinner

It was a great dinner, lots of yummy foods and drinks. Thanks ladies and gentlemen for the great company and it was my one and only reunion dinner this year. Missed the opportunity to have them with my family =(

"Lou Hei" (pardon my spelling =P)

YUMMY foods!! Great choice Joy =)

Of course!! Our favorite - Choya

E's Sago pudding (I love the pandan flavoured sugar)

I like E's modern and cozy home and the relaxing atmosphere. Look at the guys, they felt like in KTV lounge.. watching football accompanied by sexy girls.. one each.. haha..

Bubbles!! She just celebrated her 7th birthday. Don't pray pray..

Pebbles

Ding Dong!! After 11pm, Pal automatically stopped drinking and took a short nap. He said he must go for 11km walk at MacRithie early next morning and continued by blood donation @ 11am. So no alcoholic drink 12 hours before. And of course.. accompanied by sweet Aunty Sara.

This morning specially went all the way to Sungei Kadut for the mobile blood donation. It was in Hindu temple. I went to few blood donations and to my surprise, most of blood donors are indians (50%) and Malays (35%). Only 15% of them are chinese.

If anyone interested to donate blood, check this website here for location and here for mobile blood donation. Donate Blood Saves Life :)

Oh, I love this pink heart print bandage.. it matched the heart shaped squeeze ball they gave.

Uninvited Visitor

2007-03-01T14:33:00.000+08:00

Recently quite a number of news about encounter with wild animal like snakes, phytons (many of them) and the cute pangolin. Is it because they get bored and decided to take a look at more civilized world, or the humans already invading their area.

Like this quite a handsome iguana that mummy's colleagues found crawling around at their construction site. I love the colour.. nice...

Black is my colour

2007-02-28T10:00:00.000+08:00

I'm waiting and waiting and waiting for Blackie to move in to next door. Everybody had been busy last week during Chinese New Year Period. So adoption issue slightly put on hold. I hope everything will go smoothly in this 2 weeks time.

So nice to see this boy look this happy although he developed some rashes recently. I can really see he put on some weight already.. no more skin & bone.

Oh btw, this mini bull terrier girl is looking for a fosterer, a temporary home where she can stay for about 1 - 2 months while the owner is busy settling down. Anyone can help?? Very gentle in temperament. Only need to clean her eyes daily.

Mandai Lake Road - Wet Sssssunday

2007-02-25T22:00:00.000+08:00

What a turn up!! Head count 15 humans and 12 dogs.

These ex-army boys showing off their bags

You all must see this photo.. because this is the only photo that I'm in it!! My human didn't take my photo.. can you believe that.. they said they hardly noticed me around =(

sssssssshhhhhhhh... Auntie V's scream still echoing in my ear..

Water, chest-deep water. We even ready with knotted rope.

Andy (aka Mr. Moses) smiling happily.. only that Moses suppose to walk in front to lead the pack and split the water so we can have dry ground.. not at the back.. ha ha..

Yeah.. we made it across =)

Disaster.. Wet ciggies

Back to the jungle and walk on crunchy dry leaves

Benji relaxing

Get a room...

(Toto looked jealous.. you'll know why soon)

What a refreshing site after the not so clean walk. We were so lucky to have running water today, unlike during our recce.. it was very dry.

Uncle John not only good in taking photos but he also good in posing too =) I can't wait to see his masterpiece for this trek. Anyway, you can see more of his photos in Fearsome Rottie's blog.

Seeing weave-poles, Kaiser just can't help it

Just now I was saying that Toto was jealous when Jewel kissed Suria brother, here is why.. this couple goes everywhere together. Brokeback mountain couple (Mavy and Rainy too) and many more...

Errr... how come I have this feeling that Suria Brother started to enjoy it.

More close up shots of the doggies =)

Handsome Rainy
