Bebek Bali

2008-09-04T17:50:00.006+08:00

It has been a month since I got back from Bali but then I still haven't blog all aobut it. I don't have extra time to blog since I start working. Spend the day in the office, working working...When reached home, feel tired. Even doesn't have the mood to go yamcha nowadays. Maybe I'm not used to it yet. What more blogging? Reach 11p.m. eyes starting to fall.

This is my day.

Oh no...So bored.

But working is like that la. Ok.

So talk about Bebek Bali, this nice restaurent. The food there are nice and delicious, pricing wise also reasonable. Went there two days in a row. The theme is duck. Most of the thing is about duck.

Night at Ampang Look Out Point

2008-08-27T22:51:00.006+08:00

Suddenly he suggested to bring me here. Extremely happy and excited for that. You know, he wasn't that kind of guy who loves to travel here and there. We often have the same activities as usual. Conclusion is, our lifestyle is kinda lacking of real fun. So here goes my first visit to this place.

Freezing cold that night because of the rain.

Makeover by Shu Uemura

2008-08-23T17:29:00.004+08:00

Got this chance to have a free makeover, hair-do and photo shoot yesterday, thanks to Julia. Hmmm, how to say, I think the make up is abit too much for me, the me in the photo was so, ermm, doesn't look like me at all. And I looked old as well. However, I think their event was quite successful as in the layout and everything was impressive.

After the photo shooting (which almost gave me a heart attack), I went to the restroom instantly to "erase" some of the makeup. The blusher was too pinkish. The eye shadow, was erm..well, actually I think it's nice, but then doesn't suit me, it may look extremely good on other gals. So I just wiped out some of the eyeshadow and blusher.

I don't have to courage to show the photo while shooted there, will just share some of it after I cleared some of the makeup.

Have stunning eyes after the makeup

I love their foundation, those who know me know my skin are not very nice, but the foundation can even covered up some of my pimples ler, no photoshop at all this picBefore removed my makeup

Taman Ayu Cottage

2008-08-13T23:32:00.007+08:00

Taman Ayu Cottage, the name of our hotel, while we were staying in Bali. I don't really know where is this hotel located but it is quite isolated from the happening places like Kuta town. The room wasn't very costly and I'm quite happy with the services there. The room also quite nice. The staff there were so friendly.

First day.. So tidy

Bit messy now...

Jimbaran, Bali

2008-08-08T10:30:00.006+08:00

Managed to visit this place nice place - Jimbaran, during we busy and short schedule in Bali. We went to a restaurant on the beach, sitting right beside the seaside. So relaxing, it's really relaxing there. The busy Denpasar Airport is located very near to the restaurant, watching airplanes arriving and departing.

Along this beach there are all restaurants - a tourism hot spot

Of course must do some romantic and funny and 3 8 thing there la.

All of the members

As I mentioned earlier, this restaurant potong us kau kau. We had this dinner for RP 1.6 mil (about RM 580). Must be see us tourist so charged us so unreasonably. This kind of dishonest people will only discourage us from going there again!

The food they served there is super ordinary and the taste is so so only. The name of the restaurant. Hmmm...In face, I have no idea about it. The driver (another bastard) drove us there, thought got what so special. Cheh, I think he wanna earn alot from us, so took us to that kind of rastaurant. I bet the restaurant did give him commissions for bringing customers for them.

The rice there was very dry and hard for me, like very hard to swallow the rice, so we ordered TOM YAM SOUP. Ahem ahem, hello. We ordered TOM YAM SOUP, why give us tomato soup?? Others claimed it taste like bosch soup but I think bosch soup much nicer that the tomota soup lo. And sumore dare to charged us RP 8000 per bowl. We ordered 3, so how many thousand already? RP24000 for such tasteless tomoto sauce + little bit of chili sauce soup. There cost us about RM 100 dy.

The driver. Heh! Apa pun mari when mentioned him. Well, he approached us when we were at the airport. We looking for transportation to our hotel. We need two cars as there are 10 of us. He said RP 200000. Straight away we thought Rp 100000 for each car right? It's normal to think so. Who knows he wanna charge us RP 200000 each car. Luckily we still haven get in the car. So they bargained again, in the end, agreed at RP 160000 each car, which is about RM 57. So we thought is still quite ok la, plus we are hungry and wanted to put our luggage in the hotel so much, so we "seong che" lor. Who knows we really "seong che". When we reached the hotel and enquired about the pricing, the hotel car (Toyoto Inova) only will costs RP 50000 (RM18).

Sumore with Toyota Inova you know, the cheater drivers are illegal drivers actually. The car also lousy, no air-cond lousy old van.

What to do, we already kena tipu. But then we still continue give him tipu wor. Reach hotel dy, we were planning our next destination. We asked the cheater any nice place to go. So he suggest he bring us there lo, RP 50000 for transportations. Then we followed again. The price is lower, much lower indeed. But we never expect the coming dinner is gonna be so mahal.

So you know, go there really cannot simply trust their words. They take advantage of us as we do not know the price over there.

Schnautese

2008-07-16T14:05:00.006+08:00

Again, she became a "Schnautese" (Schnauzer + Maltese) again! Why I said AGAIN is because I had a horrible experience in another pet shop, they trimmed Kimi like a Schanuzer, as in the back hair are SO SO short, and the hair at the lower part are longer , like wearing a skirt like that (picture on left). I'm not saying Schnauzer style is horrible, but I think that certainly doesn't suit a Maltese lo. The gal sumore told me this style very popular, many Maltese babies also trim like that. So I trusted what she said, but I never thought it'd be like this, a Schnautese, that's the name I think for it.

Ok, well, I admitted is part of my fault 'coz I didn't ask the gal how exactly she was going to trim Kimi, can't blame her totally. It's just very heart pain lo, see Kimi looked like that, all the people also said she look so weird and ugly! Luckily she didn't get depression. She really looked different, from a fluffy and hairy puppy into this kinda strange look. The face sumore trim until so "triangle". Can see right? A reversed triangle on her face. This wasn't the thing that made me most angry. They even cut her one her paw. The next day she only I noticed it when I saw Kimi kept licking her own paw, so when I checked it I saw the skin was almost peeled off and some blood there. So terrible!! I know they did not do it purposely, sometimes dog might move here and there while grooming, but at least let me know, they just kept quiet about it. Which I really can't accept. Since then I never go back to that pet shop again. Boycott! It took about 2 months for Kimi to look nice and cute.

Ok, so yesterday, I sent Kimi for grooming yesterday as her hair was quite long and messy, so feel like giving her a more tidy hair coat. So I talked to this groomer about the style that I wished Kimi to be groomed.

I said, I wanna trim her hair, not too short, cause the hair is abit long now especially the lower part of her body. NOT TOO SHORT ('coz phobia already). I kept on emphasize on don't trim until too short and I don't want the lower part hair so long, make it same as the top. The groomer kept nodding her head, gave me an impression that, she knows what I want, she understands what I said. I was happy lo, I was thinking, finally, she knows what I really want. So I handed Kimi to her and left for lunch.

When I back, when I saw Kimi new look, reminds me of the time 2 months ago. Sigh, I don't understand la, why the people don't understand me. So I asked one of the staff there while Kimi was still inside with the groomer.

"Why is it her hair so short?".

Hua lao, he answered me, "acutally from far you will see the hair is short, but it's quite long one, it's unlike Schnauzer, those are really short that you can see the skin".

Wei!!! Why do I wanna compare it with a Schnauzer?!

Then I said actually this is not what I really want lo (was trying to be polite), it's really too short for me.

So he said, "Oh, like that ar..........(Silence)".

Sigh, then I said never mind la. But in my heart really abit sad la. So wasted la, the hair kept for about 2 months, though is only 2 months, now all gone. Sigh. So when the groomer came out and gave Kimi to me, she asked me was it too short (the staff earlier told her about my comment). I said yes, this wasn't what I want, I want the top and lower part length to be the same. Then suddenly she said, "Oh, teddy bear style la you want". Somemore with that kind of look that saying "you should tell me earlier". Wei!!, How I know that called teddy bear man? Duh....

So this is how she looks like now, of course is better than last time,
as in the face is not triangle lo.

So short the back hair.

Still acceptable la hor.

Promise my laopo earlier that will upload Kimi's video..Here it comes la baby.

Kimi is making me broke

2008-07-15T02:08:00.007+08:00

Since I brought Kimi home, my savings has decreased drastically. Drastically, not trying to exaggerate. but my figures in bank used to be very stagnant. Not much floating. But, I have a different story now, the numbers are going down since 19th of February, 2008, the day I brought her home.

Dog food la, chew toys la, necessary or unnecessary, what also feel like buying for her. Crate also bought two ler, from small to big. So friends out there who wished to raise a puppy, go further with this blog to have a reference.

Dog biscuit is a must for them, of course, you can always consume can food for you fur kid. That would be more costly than dog biscuit for sure, I'm not very sure whether the can food make your doggie more healthy or energetic 'coz I only provide my doggies dog biscuits. But then I guess can food should be more delicious than biscuits huh, at least more juicy la. Kimi used to try can food for about 4 days, that's when she was having diarrhea, the vet advice to feed her with this less oily can food, couldn't recall the brand. Wah, the meat really smell like our luncheon meat lo, no wonder Kimi was so crazy for it! A significant changes I noticed from consuming can food is, Kimi's size was like grow from small to medium. Maybe I fed her too much? I was just following the vet's instruction...She is really an oversize 6 months old puppy ler, so I have been controlling her diet since then. I'll still feed her can food in the future, I guess that would be when she grown into adult, when the size is stagnant then only feed her that la, let her change 口味 also good. (Kimi is clapping her both hands and feet)

Other than dog food, vitamins can also be provided for your doggie. There're many types of vitamins that you can found in a pet shop, ermm, for better and healthier hair, for stronger bones and joints, depends on what breed of dog you are having or what your dog needs. And also heartworm pills, pills that prevent your dog from getting heartworm. And oh yah, please don't forget their vaccinations and consultation fees IF doggies are sick. (Touch wood..touching..).

Apart from that, like water dispenser ar (it's not a must as you can fill their bowl with water, too, but I think by using a dispenser the water is more clean, free of dusts or other dirts, or their own hairs), bowls are not expensive stuff, so is still Ok to get them one.

Next, shampoos, there are different types of course, Kimi is currently using super white hairs one, I think it's effective, she has glowing white hair especially after bath, hoho. Nail clipper, I bought one at RM 4.90, hmm, is low cost one la, but I think for small breed dog is good enough, 'coz their nails are not very hard, so it's Ok to use a normal nail clipper.

Other things like toothpaste and toothbrush, it's really optional, of course it's not a must, but it will definitely be better if you keep your furkid's teeth clean, especially their gums. Well, I did bought Kimi toothpaste and toothbrush, but I think the brush is totally out. It's abit large for a small breed dog I guess, that's the smallest I can find in that pet shop. I thought it was Ok for Kimi but I was wrong. So now what I do is put the toothpaste on a wet cloth and wipe her teeth and gum. She loves the taste of the toothpaste, she is just greedy la her. Kimi also needs tear stain remover because maltese tends to have serious tear stain problem (Kimi is not very serious though), you can remove the eye dirt with a wet cloth, but then there might still have some stain and odor. I found Kimi is odorless (haha) after applying the remover because the when the tears and eye dirt stick on their hair gave some nasty smell. Ear cleaner as well, dirty ear makes them smelly.

Ok, so these are the necessary things that I think is a must for Kimi. Please share with me if you think I've omitted a must for them.

Unnecessary things like dog bed and dog house (pic on left), I bought, too. If you are looking for dog house like I show in the picture, please re-consider, Kimi doesn't like it, Mike doesn't like it as well. I'm not sure why, but maybe they feel hot inside, they are already hairy enough. Of course I'm sure there are puppies love it, but nobody knows only after you buy it. It's not cheap. Do you wanna take the risk? You might notice dogs love to lie on or rest on soft surface like towel, carpet, cushion or floor mat. So giving towel is good, but if you wanna spoil them like how I spoil Kimi, can give her this.

This dog bed also make my wallet lose much weight, but then Kimi likes it, hehe, then Ok la, no problem dy. Talk about "mm tang sai" thingy, their baju of course is totally unnecessary la, I did bought few for her, but I have a friends who bought more than me, so I think I'm still quite normal on buying shirt. I heard Bangkok has lots of cheap pets fashion, I WANNA GO THERE!!!
Wanna go there so much, waiting for the day to come. Kimi has a few chew toys but I think she loves my slipper more than that. See, not only have to buy her things but sometimes have to pay money for replacing my slipper. She is a real biter.

Another amazing stuff that I am going to spend because of Kimi is glasses, glasses like this?

No. Is my glasses!

I told you she loves to bite! She bite my glasses while I was asleep. See la, one glass fall out. So depressing...

Sumore can see some saliva stain on it...Terrible...

Kimi, you really making your mami broke. I'm not blaming her la, she didn't ask me to buy a single thing for her. Honestly, buying things for her made me happy, am I idiot or what? But I don't feel heart pain, maybe I think is worth it gua...Kimi, mami love you with all I have k, so don't ever bite my things...

低落

2008-07-12T03:21:00.005+08:00

给自己最爱的人批评是很件难过的事
因为在乎所说的每一句话
所以全部必定听进心坎里
很难接受从那口里说出的话
那么直接
虽然难免会有其他人也的批评
但那是不一样的

批评没错但何须如此

Healthy Baby

2008-07-09T20:11:00.003+08:00

It's too long for Kimi to reappear in my blog again and it's exactly one week after the surgery, she is extremely fine now. I was quite surprise she recovered so fast, actually is within a week, she is able to run and jump again. Still remember the first she back from clinic, so weak, so kesian look ler..

She looked so tired, in fact, she is really tired

And she look different huh, cause her eyes were abit swollen

She has to be in the cage most of the time after the surgery

Staying in the cage is to avoid her run and there, according to the doctor, puppies usually do not feel pain! Why ar? So is also to avoid her to hurt her incision. She used to run and rush out from the cage once I opened the cage, but she just lied down still on the first day. She is still tired and maybe she felt abit painful gua..but then this doesn't last long, the third day she couldn't stand in the cage anymore. This healthy baby girl. I heard that mixed breed dog are usually healthier and smarter huh? Haha.

She is healthy again

And she smiles again

I just taught her another new trick - byebye. So whenever I mentioned byebye, she has to stand still on both of her leg. What? It sounds more like "stand" more than "byebye"? Well, it's because whenever I say bye to her she would stand up and show respect to me mah.

1st of July was my mummy's birthday, but it looks like is Zac's big day lor...Look at the photos

About Kimi

2008-07-02T14:09:00.005+08:00

Although she wasn't at home for just one day, but I really miss her. Knowing that she will be less active after the surgery, so the day before she went for surgery, I let her play and run kau kau. The following weeks she won't be able to do that. So unleashed her in the balcony, she ran here and there like nobody business. There's a small little pool in my balcony, I filled in water to let her "swim" lo, but I don't think she likes it, haha, she is quite scared of it.

I asked her to sit in the pool (the water level is not very deep), when she feels her butt touches the water she stand straight again, haha, cute

I dunno how did I get to capture this shot

Well, though she didn't really get to swim, but then she tried something she never before. She was tired, slept quite well at night. So on the 1st of July (also my mum's birthday), I sent her to the clinic and she has to stay there for one night.

Kimi: Hmmm, today mami bring me go "where kai kai" ler...?

Mami: Darling, today you have to go to clinic stay for one night ar...be good ok, mami will take you home tomorrow..

Kimi: Yoh...then I mah cannot watch Astro On Demand lor...wasted la...Luckily got repeat..

While we were in the clinic, there're other patients (two German Shephards and a Chihuahua puppy), as usual, this Kimi barked at the GSD to self protect (maybe). Wei wei, your mami can't fight with the two GSD lo, you don't play play here. About 15 minutes later, I passed Kimi to Dr. Yip and he said come back and take her home tomorrow at the same time like today. Then I left. When I was inside my car, I teringat I forgot to kiss her goodbye!!! Gila, I even forgot to say bye to her. What la me...Feel so bad.

2nd of July.

Felt not well in the morning, so Bernard offered to take Kimi home in the noon. She looked so exhausted! Doctor said that's normal, she'll become less active for the following days. She waved her tail when she saw me..She is advised to stay in the cage for the coming week and I noticed her eyes were swollen..I didn't take any picture of her yet, she needs rest.

She is back and she is fine.

The Day Has Come

2008-06-30T16:12:00.004+08:00

Kimi will be sent for spaying tomorrow. She will be fine. She is now so manja sleeping on my lap...

Today

2008-06-22T00:44:00.005+08:00

Sent Kimi to pet shop for a full grooming. Her hair are just abit too messy. She looks more adorable after the grooming. While waiting in the pet shop saw this kimono, and yes, I can't help myself, I bought it. Sigh, I just couldn't control myself in buying things for Kimi. Hate this habit. So gotta tighten my belt for the rest of the month.

She is exhausted after grooming. Lying on ma lap in kimono.

My beloved darling boy and darling gal

Sleeping is in her daily schedule most of the time, sometimes on my lap while I'm surfing the net

n Years of Water Supply, Down the Drain

2008-06-17T02:58:00.005+08:00

Saturday, 14th of June, 2008. 11am.

Day before 14th of June, we are informed that there will be no water supply from 10am-4pm on Saturday. Reason is SYABAS is going to repair something...I don't know what exaxtly is the reason la actually. But what I saw is wastage of water. Look.

From 11 in the morning

The water just keep SHOOTING OUT nonstop

Don't understand the reason why they need to do this

This continues until around 10pm

We washed our garbage bin there, the pressure is high mah, what stain also come out

n years of my bathing water, drinking water, whatever water, down the drain. My bro used the water to bathe, haha, wash car, wash floor.

Most importantly, no actions was taken after 3 times of calling to PUSPEL customer service.

The Decision is Made

2008-06-17T00:35:00.004+08:00

A month after I got Kimi home, I've already decided to spay her because I really do not have any intention to breed her. It's very clear in my mind that says spaying her will get less trouble in the future as in I don't have to worry about her mood-swing or other symptoms when she is in heat. And I don't have to worry about other male dogs hanging around my house.

As this is my first time own a dog so I hope everything I do is right, what are the do's and don'ts for doggie. Info on the net is my main source of dog-caring tips. So I've also came across with some basic knowledge of spaying a dog. The more I read, the more I think spaying her is a right decision or I would say, necessary for Kimi.

From the net, I got to know that many veterinarian or other doggie-related associations or organisation discourage us to breed our dogs. Due to many reasons. The very main concern of the world is pet overpopulation is a huge problem now. Talking about U.S. alone, more than 50,000 puppies and kittens are born EACH DAY. Millions of these animals enter America's animal shelters, I guess that is like their SPCA. What's making me more sad is 30 to 60 percent of them have to be put to sleep each year because no one wants them, that is about 4 to 6 million animals (Link 1). What about the whole global? We don't need THAT much pets, stray dogs everywhere and many other dogs and cats waited to be adopted in our SPCA. I used to think stray dogs and cats are very annoying and hateful, just don't like them. I'm very embarrassed to say that now. Now I feel sympathy for them. Who wants to stray on the street and being disgusted by human. There's one time I saw a stray dog crossing the street, and hit by a car. But the dog can still get up and run to a safe place. It's really sad to see this scene. Can we avoid that to happen?

Other than overpopulation problem, several tragic things can happen to our dogs who are not spayed. Quite often she will develop mammary cancer like breast cancer and uterus cancer in her mid to later life. However, she has a near zero chance of this disease if she is spayed before her first heat (Link 2). Since then, I'm more determined on my decision to spay Kimi. I don't want her to suffer in the future because of me, as her owner, not spaying her. I brought her home is because I want a companion and love her with all I have. I really don't want to see her sick and suffer. There some other advantages and disadvantages of spaying a dog - Link3, Link4.

One day, I was chatting with my friends, talked about my Kimi, I mentioned that I was thinking to spay her when she reach 6 months old. Their reaction is the same "Har...What? You wanna spay her? Oh no...It's so cruel...". I know what they meant, it's like I'm proscribing her right of having kids and Kimi won't have the chance of being a true woman. I was kinda speechless. I thought of explaining why I decided to spay Kimi but I guess they are not very keen to know why. I guess they think dogs should not be spayed, or at least, let her have first litter, then only spay her. I don't know what about others, but for me, I think that's totally out of my plan. It serves no purpose for me. I don't plan to breed her, and most importantly I wanna prevent Kimi from getting any mammary diseases so I wanna get her spayed before her first heat comes.

I've already made an appointment with the vet to get Kimi spayed on the first of July. She is turning to 6 months old on the 2nd of July. As the date is getting closer, sometimes I feel contradicition in my heart. Am I bring cruel? She has to go through the pain of being cut when she is so young. Not only that, she can't have any children. Well, I don't know what she thinks, does she wants to get pregnant and have kids or she is like some of the independant ladies nowadays, prefer not to have kids. My responsibility is to give consideration for the best of Kimi.

Puppies are cute. I would love Kimi's kids like how I love her IF she has any. But, my rationality telling me, I can't take care of all her kids. Give them to other dog lover or sell them? I can't do that as well. Seperating her kids from her (Kimi) wor, so depressing. I also feel mm se tak la, what more the true mother.

I believe my decision is correct. Actually what I need is more supports from friends and family. Finacially? Haha, ya ya, but I've already got a sponsor. (Thank you Popo!! She likes Kimi alot too).

So two more weeks to go.

Play Time

2008-06-12T03:28:00.007+08:00

This fine day I brought Kimi to my abandoned balcony, let her run "kau kau". Ok, here's the story, whenever I set her free to my garden, she ran like nobody's business. She is really quick! She is faster than Mike, the golden mix. Once her engine is on, I just don't know how to stop her or get her or catch her. So, whenever I let her out from her crate, she must be on leashed or be in my arms.

Yah, I know its kinda sad as she cannot run freely, its like too much constraints to her. Feel badly but the problem is I can't control her on this matter, she runs TOO fast. You might wonder, so what if let her run in the garden, when she get tired that's the time she will come back to me. Erm, my garden is quite a big compound and its kinda bushy. There are times we saw snakes in the outer part of my garden. And even stray dogs could came into my garden because there's a hole found on one of the fence, those normal pagar. What if my Kimi escape from there because this 5 months old girl is too curious about almost everything. Or what if she got bite by snakes...Can't imagine and dare not to take the risk.

So what I'm able to do is bring her to park which is pets friendly, and have other doggies there, socialize with others. Due to the increment on petrol price and also the laziness of Kimi's mami, Kimi didn't get to go to the park so frequent. (Poor thing my Kimi...blame me...).

At times we met Shih Tsu

Or Cocker Spaniel, her name is Princess...

Or Schnauzer. Kimi:" The first he did when he came to me is sniffed my backside oh, mami, why ar?"

So what I really can do now is let her run in the balcony. Run as fast as you like, run as far as you can. Ha ha ha ha, you can't get out from my "finger gap"!!

Watch me run!

I'm free I'm free!

Well, I tried to train her fetch and carry, she has got the potential ler...

Sniff sniff, where is this place ar, dun have my perfume smell one

That's her reward for staying there and let mami take picture

Yeah happy day, but this balcony very dirty, my paws all become black colour lor, luckily mami promised will bathe me afterwards

I fulfilled my promise, after play time, I brought her to the bathroom. Eh, how come no water one...? What happened oh...Cham lor, my girl's legs so dirty how oh...hmmm, there are some water in the pail. Ok la, fast fast bathe nothing one la. The cold water in the pail really gave Kimi a hard time but mami must bathe you (because of the silly promise?? Yes lo, aiya, no la, its because she is really dirty..). I'm so so sorry!!! She is not used to it I guess. I make the bath quick then blow her hair.

So tired...Mami, I don't like cold water...

7.30am

2008-06-11T14:35:00.004+08:00

It's 7.30 in the morning. Sleeping is what I do all the time at this hour 'cause this is the most comfortable time of whole day. The weather is just ngam ngam, not too warm, not too cold, not too bright, not too dark...I even dreamt of going Redang Island with my family and friends. Such a nice morning.

"Wuff!! Wuff!! Wuff!!"

It's Kimi. She doesn't bark at this hour usually. I guess she is asking for food as she is having her breakfast at this hour. I didn't pay much attention to that 'cause my aunt will feed her. But she has been barking non-stop for about 10 minutes I guess. Feeling weird, wondering where is my aunt. Maybe she is not back from the market yet. Ok, put on my glasses and sweater, goodbye my sweet and warm bed and pillow. Kimi, here your mami come to serve you breakfast.

Just stepped down from the staircase, saw my aunt walking out from the kitchen with Kimi's bowl in her hand. Ermm, ok la, never mind, play with Kimi a while la before I say hello to my bed again. As usual, before I give her her food, must ask her to sit, hand, down and stay. She is too excited to see her food, (why not me...?) she ran from her cage to me, and then ran back to her cage, again and again. Ha, it's fun to see that.

Kimi stay

So while she is eating, I cleared her poo in the cage but some of it drop onto the plastic pan. Due to I'm so eager to sleep again, I just ignored the leftover poo...

Hello my sweetheart (bed) and darling (comforter), I'm back! Wah, they are still warm! Okok, faster hide inside first...

"Wuff!! Wuff!! Wuff!!"

Wey!! Kimi, you play thing (wan yea) is it?! Barking non-stop and I decided to walked down again. I have no idea why was she barking. Hmmm...? Is it because she doesn't like the existence of the leftover poo...? Ok, I cleared everything and cleaned the pan as well. After that, I walked back to my room and look for sweetheart and darling. And Kimi just stopped barking be a good girl. She is so mysophobia.

Nights with buddies

2008-06-09T03:08:00.007+08:00

After an almost 3 hours of mahjong session with the buddies, wanted to go for supper so much but its already 3 in the morning. So, taking food into my stomach is sinful...Mahjong was fun, the time spending with the buddies is even more fun! First time I see people eat 十三么 in Malay Mahjong aka. "3 ka Mahjong". Thanks to Jacinta for giving me such great opportunity to witness such impressive and glorious act. Jeff, next time count your "fan" properly before you open your cards k, Jacinta, don't laugh, both of you are on the same boat.

Had a crazy moment with them during Saturday night, too.

Standing from the left is Wei Ru, Joshua Ong and Chel
The hot chic in blue is Jacinta, next to her is the pity Jeffrey, at last the sweet couple Cassven and Nicholas

As usual, our outing involves playing tradition game - truth or dare. It's really crazy and the info we got from there is too hot and spicy. (Eh, reminds me of my lunch today, KFC's snack plate hot and spicy, hungry...). One of the way makes us closer and get to know each other MORE.

What are you trying to tell us?

Wah, so big la you, your mouth

Friendship - stay strong!!

Moments of A Mother and her Precious

2008-06-08T19:21:00.010+08:00

Kimi: " Mami insisted I look like a koala in this picture..actually I dunno them one lo...Not in my family bloodline also..."

Got something that I really love

2008-06-07T01:43:00.012+08:00

Went shopping with my bestie - Jacin ta
Got something that I really love, the dress that I was wearing in the picture. Most importantly, it makes my leg look loooooooooooooonger. Ok, I'm short, somehow wish to get some other thing to make myself look taller, or at least, not a shortie lo ok. High heels, short pants or skirts, they tend to makes my legs look longer. Really satisfied with this dress since it has been a long time for me to shop. Some more with limited budget. My Laopo also praised me too pretty ler, hahaha. Having her beside you really makes you feel comfortable. We always got the same idea in the mind. We are just so "clicked" with each other. So glad to have her with me all the time...

Another part makes my day complete is when I went to the park with my beloved Laopo and Kimi. Just to share some pictures of our moments here.

Reached park already!! So happy!! Run Run Run!!

Don't simply run ar Kimi, after bad guy catch you cook bak kut teh

Ok ok, mami look after you, we go walk walk.

Saw this Shih Tzu half way and Kimi ran to him...
Kimi:" Eh...? Why is your hair colour different from mine...? Eh Eh, why your mommy pull your skin so hard ar, painful anot...kesian..."

Chel:" Kimi gal, is that an evil smile on your face??!!"

Kimi:" This is me and my Aunty Jacinta, she very sayang me..."

I'm now dozing off...And feel extremely hungry after 2 tequila pop at Chef & Brew. Hey! Listen here fried chicken, curry laksa, nasi lemak, steamboat, haagen daz macadamia nuts ice-cream, kokokrunch!! See you in my dream and don't be late.

HA-CHEEEEEEE!!!

2008-06-06T00:08:00.006+08:00

Ha-Cheeeeeeee! Must share this picture...

Zac:" What are looking at? Never see people ha-chee before ar"

My nephew, frown is what he does most of the time, so adorable!

What A Day

2008-06-05T18:20:00.010+08:00

I mentioned that bathing for Kimi is not a big deal in the first blog, but this does NOT apply on Go Go. Go Go is my 4 months old mongrel. She has black and shiny hair, looks innocent sometimes, but she is very obedient (but not when she is bathing ok). I guess she is afraid of water, that's why she tends to struggle and escape while we bathe her. Yes, we. One man show can hardly finish the process.

Hi, I'm Go Go, and at the corner one is Mike

My brother is holding and trying to calm her down and I shower her. In the end, it seemed that my brother also just bathed lo, his shirt and pants all wet, haha! So quickly dry her with towel and she got back to her compound with lil' Mike. Two months old Mike is so playful, although his body size is no greater than Go Go, but his MAN spirit really no joke lo. Once Mike sees Go Go he will start "attacking" her, trying to play or kacau her. They would bite each other, but they are just playing with each other, it's just that Mike keep kacau Go Go and Go Go doesn't seem love to entertain him.

Mike no give face

So after bathing session we are getting Go Go to the vet for her second injection. This cute little girl was with us, too. She used to be a small girl who very scared of doggie but she is getting better! And she loves dogs now and her house has a schnauzer.

Yenn

In the car, Go Go just sat down quietly, maybe she doesn't know where is she heading to, yet. When we reached the entrance on the clinic, she just stopped and refuse to walk in. And this is when my brother become efficient, hold her in his STRONG arms. Go Go is too heavy for me to carry! So everything just goes fine, after a brief check-up by the vet and followed by the injection.

Somemore can take picture tim

Yeah, after injection can go home lo! Get the car key from my bag first...eh...? Car key ler? Inside pocket...no ah. My instinct told me I left it inside my car, again. This incident happen about 3 months ago. I left my car key in the car in the college. After class, walking to my car, then only I noticed my key is not with me. Well, my car doesn't have any remote to lock, normally we do it manually, with the key. But for lazy people like me, instead of using the key to lock the door, I just use my hand to lock before I close the door. Well, see what happened now. I gotta call back to home so that my family could fetch us the spare key. My brother teased me loudly, maybe he's worried the next time I will do the same thing again. But now I think his intention is to insult me in front of other people, no wonder one uncle kept looking at us just now. So we waited beside the car and took some pictures 'cause too bored.

See, my car key...

Ok ok, blame on me.

Introducing my nephew

2008-06-04T15:22:00.006+08:00

While I was still in my dreamland this morning, I heard voices calling "gu che... gu che.. (姑姐...姑姐...)". Eh? So fast can talk ar, he not even 2 months old. But I know that voice belongs to my mom, don't know since when she becomes my nephew's endorser, somemore the voice so cute lo my mom. So the story is my mom needs a shower and asked me to look after nephew while she is in the bathroom. Can hardly opened my eyes then went to the bathroom. Mom rushed me again so quickly went to her room and lied down beside my nephew.

Zac

Cuddled him a bit, then I tried to sleep beside him again. But this little boy is getting smarter day by day, always wants people to carry him walk around. Ok, so carried him and walk a few steps far from the room, talked to him, kiss kiss him, haha, baby's skin is so tender..sounds like a baby eater. Not even 5 minutes, I started to feel my right arm numb dy, har..? So fast? This boy is not even 5kg. I decided to put him on the bed again. As what I expected, he started to cry again, so manja la, haha. But I can't hold him again, at least needs few minutes rest, and lucky enough, my mom walked out from the bathroom.

Relief. So I lied beside Zac and start chit-chatting with my mom. Suddenly, I felt heat came from my right hips, when I touched it and its surrounding, and I know Zac has wee wee on the bed...His pee quite alot lo wei, can transfer to my pants somemore. So my mom changed his nappy, and very soon she said she wanna read newspaper. So Zac was again in my arms. I carried him to the living room, watch tv while half talking to him. Again, I felt the Heat!! The second time he pee on me...changed another pants in within 15 minutes. I guess today I can buy number at sportstoto or magnum or damacai dy. So lucky wei.

Afterall, this cute lil' boy is still the precious and heart of this family. *meltz*

I'm sorry, Kimi, you're betrayed

2008-06-04T00:28:00.006+08:00

It's a good day to bathe Kimi, so I woke up at almost 3 pm in the afternoon and carried her to my bathroom. For people who doesn't know Kimi, she's my lovely five months old pet dog.

I would say she is a really nice and well-behaved companion, although she may gone insane at some time. See, she isn't like some of the doggies, keep moving and struggling while bathing. I don't have a single problem while "sai bak bak" for her. While I put her in the basin, she just stand still and allow me to start cleaning. People told me she's pretty, even though she is a mixed breed but doesn't affect her cuteness..haha, so proud.

before shower

So she is a maltese mixed silky terrier, she looks like a maltese more. She's white and fluffy, wait...fluffy? Wait till you see this.

showering..

Gosh, this picture really gave me a shock, it's even more scary when I see her in real "person"..I'm sorry if it makes you feel discomfort, other boy boy doggie, Kimi is really cute and nice, don't judge her by her "wet" look.

Sorry Kimi, forgive mami k?

After the bath, I cut her fringe, is that called fringe? Hair on the top of her head. The fringe is too long, always block her beautiful eyes, block her eyesight. So her mami DIY her hair cut since had a bad experience in pet shop.

So sleepy after the long bath and hair cut..lying on my bed...half asleep...
