A fortnight ago, I went up to the temple at my neighbourhood to pray. I was quite surprised with the new additions to their family. They wasted no time in greeting me by crashing onto me & licked my feet. How to pray if that’s the case?

Puppy No. 1 : Trying to bite my camera

Puppy No. 2 : Whatever...

IW : Rumble In The Plastic Bag

I can sense that there’s something cooking in the plastic bag for Brickfever. In a few weeks time, all of these would come to life. Brickfever, start your construction.

My Very First Hand-Fried Yam Puffs

I finally managed to learn what I wanted to do all this while during the festive break. Lots of cutting, steaming, frying, mashing & measuring of the ingredients with direct supervision from my grandmother before the end result was achieved at approximately 5PM today. Extremely proud of this & certainly, there is still a long way to go before I can achieve perfection.

Day View With CBD Backdrop

The organizers have set up the flood lights along the track. I personally walked & being driven some part of the track & honestly, I can feel the heat from the lights. Not only it is bright, it is glaring. Commercial cars with light sensor just switched off by itself. Those electronics got tricked! Haha.

2008 F1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix Lanyard

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joanne for the limited lanyard memorabilia for the upcoming 2008 F1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix gift.

Do not miss this inaugural event.

I knew him 4 years ago. We worked in the same office for a year before I left the office first. Then she came in to fill my position. Coincidence or fated? The rest is history from that day onwards.

Congratulations Eric & Isabel

Eric & Isabel, wishing both of you a new beginning & eternal happiness. Congratulations.

SXI From The Top

It was a farewell dinner for a colleague but to me it was more like my return to my Alma Mater. For the first time, I had the chance to view my Alma Mater from the top. I spent about 10 minutes doing nothing but just looking at it. It was definitely a distinctive experience.

Lucky - Watch Dog In The Drain

First of all, let me introduce my neighbour’s dog – Lucky. He isn’t that lucky after all after knowing me. His favourite hangout place of all the places in the world – the housing estate monsoon drain. Apparently, he is fascinated with the drainage & irrigation system that the housing estate has. He would spend his time exploring it & pops his head up from the drain. From time to time, I bet he has developed this new method to safeguard the house but most of the time, he will run away when strangers would to come near. What a dog. I sent this photo to the Star Thumbnails, unfortunately, I didn’t win. Lucky, you got to engage on more stunts in order for us to win.

Nameless Monkey On The Run

Next up, the monkey business. Remember my last post about monkeys? Well, well. Seems like they managed to track me down without any high tech devices. Few weeks ago, I saw 2 of them hanging on the cables shouting & rocking them. Are they trying to send some sort of a signal back to their tribe indicating that they have found the idiot who ran away with the oranges? Are they back with a vengeance? Time will tell.

Peaches - Back Door Cats

Subsequently, the back door cats (not to-be confused with a boy band). I called them Peaches. Peaches do nothing except to purr & purr & purr whole night. The sound of their purring sometimes sends a shiver up my spine especially late night. The 7th month of the Chinese lunar calendar is fast approaching. I have to learn to differentiate the purr & some other sound fast.

Reno

Last but not least, my friend’s pet – Reno. I visited an old friend who came back from the capital for a 2 day break last weekend. Reno seems to be more surprised when he saw me. He barked at first but after a few minutes, he came & licked my toes & in the end my whole foot. Simply adorable. He even stayed still when I wanted to snap a photo of him. In fact all of the above animals stayed still except for the monkey. Anyway, Reno thinks he is in Hollywood.

There you go. Four different individual animals, three species, two domestic pets & one joker who is an animal lover. What’s new?

I managed to obtain a few cubes of dry ice at the end of last month as a result from buying ice-cream. Immediately, when I reached my aunt’s house, I took it out & dropped it into a cup of water. Clouds of smoke were created & I started my ‘magic’ to trick the kids. As usual, the joker managed to fool the kids. They were so amazed.

Ah… they will find out the real truth one fine day.
