Just Today

Just today, I found out that Yumi has developed a fetish for mooncake.
Just today, Yumi ran away from home,... and came back after her adventure round the estate.
Just today, I finally added some extra touch to my two very important assets.
Just today, we've moved on, it didn't take much for us to fell for it.

But it's not just today that I rant.

PS: Finally manage to get online again after our last ISP failed us, haven't got the chance to thank Mr K for fixing my script. Thanks Mr K, ya a genius.

And Mr LKH, thanks for your identity lol, if not for you, I won't even be posting this entry.

My Dogs are (were) big babies

They are indeed.

Cocoa
My very first dog, found her on the street.
My family has the habit of reading the papers on the floor, spreading out the double pages making it easier to read.
Cocoa hated it when our attention wasn't on her.
She'd put her front paw on the corner to prevent us from turning the pages.
If that doesn't work, she'd put both front paws.
If that still fails, she'd simply walk to the middle and plant her butt right on our morning news.


Bubble
My second baby, the famous pinscher who won't hesitate to bite your fingers off if offended.
He loves to curl up sleeping beside us. We in turn became his possesion.
If anyone is to tempt to disturb his sleeping cushion (the human next to him), he will, deffo bite your fingers off.

Yumi
My new member, is the babiest outta all.
I've decided to start this post thanks to her.
Watching a dvd on the laptop with my headphones on.
She got bored watching me, hopped off her throne and tried to nudge off my headphone,... she failed and was shafted aside.
The queen/ Biatch (with a captial B) then walked in front, blocking me from the screen (I'm lying on the floor watching) and refused to budge. That failed, I started watching through the gaps of her legs...
Last resort,... she started typing on my keyboard.

SIGH, I've to stop watching and play with her... threw her a rawhide, which is why she graciously gave me some time off to finish this entry.

Dogs, they are big babies indeed.

Yumi Moment

Yumi's old toy box (a waste paper basket) turned out to be a nuisance.

Instead of training her to get her own toys, she deemed every bin in the house to be her toy basket,...
The moment any waste went into the bins, out it comes again.
Time for a replacement, she got her very own toy box.
All I can say is, she absolutely hates it. She loves her toys scattered around the house.
She loves the convenience of her toys at every corner of the house, easy access.

Little helper folding the laundry? I wished!!!
She's upset that I'm paying more attention to the laundry than to her.
So as she discovered, the only way to get me to play with her was to stop me from my chores.

And the lil one got bored, and ohhhh the softener the humans used on the clothes smells good.
Ohhhh and the laundry is soooo soft. Ohhhh Zzzzzzz....

Moodlessness

Bad idea to do your nails and type at the same time...

Sidenote, haven't been able to pick up the blogging mood, even as I "speak". Moodlessness, if there's even such a word.

Spent my last trip home goofing around with Pea as usual, and in between those goofing, I've managed to meet up with several friends. Friends who has just given birth, another leaving the country and last but not least someone whom I've totally lost contact for like five to six years. It has been fun catching up with them.

No, I'm still not quite in the mood to blog, so I'm just gotta dump another lot of pictures for you.

Deathnote L

Latest to my collection, second favourite character from Death Note is,.... L.

Out running errands today and curiously popped into an anime store. Saw the Deathnote DVD set giving away a replica death note and a quill pen. How can I resist? (Despite already having all the episodes on my HDD).
Apart from the DVD, another somehow impulse buy, L. He's just too cute not to bring home.

Now my lil Ryuk has a friend.

Disappointment

Facebook, entertaining, burning much of my hours on games and random stuff.
Keeping in contact with my friends and family online, sharing all the ongoings and gossips.

Not to mention showing off the great vacation pictures with everyone.

Received a call from Cow this morning, saying that he saw a friend of ours being tagged in an album.
Disappointment, they were in town, just a stone throw from ours.
Despite we've opened our doors to him, sending out our invitation if he ever wanna drop by, he's always welcomed, he hasn't got the time.
He's passed by once, but as he mentioned that he's not familiar with the area, therefore dare not leave his group to wander around.
Fair enough, that's absolutely understandable.

This time he's just a stone throw away, and not even a call.
Are we really such a pest? I felt as though we were not wanted.
It's pretty difficult to describe how I'm feeling at the moment.
A friend of more than 15 years,.... that's all I can say.

On several occasion when I went home, he asked as if with great interest if Cow's going back with me.
I thought he missed him, or maybe I've just read it wrong.

At least now I know.
============================================================

***** Responding to some tag on my chatbox in defence:

No I did not expect that friend to come over to ours knowing the fact that he's not familiar with the area. That's just inconsiderate.

I got bad grades for Geography, but I still know that KL is bigger than Singapore. But still, thanks for the reminder.

And if all can be based on assumptions, that it would be convenient for me to assume that from now onwards this friend of mine is either busy at work/ on course/ doing his assignment/ blah blah blah and and not call in case I trouble him.

And yes I'll stop asking, if I do, it just seemed that we're desperate and begging him to come over. No, we are not running a bed and breakfast, we are not desperate for customers. Door closed... Being a homemaker doesn't necessary means I'm boring my mind off, I can jolly well use that time to do things of my interest. It doesn't make a difference if he comes over or not, just felt like pinching myself over why on earth am I getting my blood pressure up over it.

Sigh, case close, I shall speak no more of this matter on my blog. I don't wanna wake up tom with white hair. Vented my anger, off to bed...

Dog IQ

Picked up a book from the stores yesterday,... "Test your dog's IQ". Did a small lil experiment before I start going through the book, this is to just give me a rough idea of what to expect from Yumi.

Pre-test 1 :
Place treats in cup and see how the canine would react.

To be honest, I've high expectation with the result for this test, since she's so food driven and all.

Result :
She ran around the cup, barked, ran, bark, ran,... you get the idea.
Tired, she just sat there staring at the forbidden food, and started whining... Test failure.


Pre-test 2 :
Place treats under cup.

Well this might be easier than the first test I suppose.

Results :
She proved me wrong,...
The test subject started with running around the cup, more barking and running,... then she surprised me.
She attempted to dig her way under the cup!!!! *Speechless*

I'm not pinning my hope too high with the scoring in the next few days...

I've been busy

As Nana puts it, he can see tumbleweeds on my blog.

I've been rather busy for the past few weeks, went home for a while and Pea came visit straight after as usual.
Then Adam came over to stay for a day before flying back to UK. Our landlady's planning to sell her house, and her business partners and agent has been coming in rather frequently. Hence more cleaning for me.

The next week or two isn't gotta be much better. Heading to an endurance race this weekend at the circuit, more errands, then a possible dinner appointment when my cousin whom I've not met since I was like five. Looking forward to some catching up. Have to make a trip down to Yen's to collect Yumi's chicken for her barf diet as well. With so many things going on, I've no choice but to push back Yumi's grooming at the vet's.

Germaine's gotta visit next week as well, planning for a short girly trip to Genting. And shortly after, I've to fly again to renew my visa.

Sigh, why the rant? Well if I'm to vanish again, at least you know I'm not dead. Just busy that's all.

Here's some totally random pix of Pea and Bubble during my trip home. Nothing beats spending time with my two favourite beings.
