Bubble with a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what’s going on. He walked around with a balloon tied around his neck for like 30 minutes hehe.
Good to see you again EV. A week in Hawaii and came back without a tan? How this girl never gets tanned remains a mystery.
I eat lot of fruits and this is the place I go to weekly for restocking. They have a great variety and the quality is impressive, not to mention the reasonable price. They also do phone delivery for free!! Today I bought some green plums, giant juicy peaches, cherries, blueberries and watermelon. Didn’t I tell you I love fruit? =D
Cody looking calm in this pic but he was pretty wild when I entered joop’s place. He and kiko were both jumping up and down scratching my legs damn it.
Skinny kiko looks fat in this pic haha.
Me: Kiko!
Kiko: Yes? =)
I think this picture shows the bond between joop and kiko. So sweet. I am sure joop will miss this naughty puppy. Will give you the big file of this pic joop. 
Group pic!!
Initially Kiko was placed on my laps on the way to the airport. Then she started whining like crazy struggling to get away, and it’s never happpend before according to joop. I thought maybe she wanted to be with joop, so I put her on joop’s laps and she immediately became calm. Kiko is definitely loving her slave. hahahaha.
Joop has been babysitting a 2 month old shiba puppy named Kiko, and man did she turn into an exhausted mom LOL.
My first encounter with Kiko the crazy puppy…
The wonderful life of Joop includes cleaning after Kiko N times a day hahaha.
A rare moment of sanity when Kiko’s not causing trouble…
which lasted about 5 minutes. You might think from looking at this pic that Kiko’s the victim but don’t be fooled!! She’s the one who started the fight and Cody was just in self defense mode.
Kiko’s not giving up despite her size…look at her showing her teeth. Crazy doggie!
hahaha I loooove this pic.
Upon closer inspection you’d know why I love this pic so much LOL. This face is just way too funny.
With Joop’s interference, Kiko finally gave up…she’s exhausted.
Back to her luxurious prison.
Sleeping well in the afternoon after a long fight hahaha.
Second encouter with Kiko after a week…still the same old hyper puppy. At least she didn’t pee everywhere.
Cody wanted to go into the kitchen coz her mom’s inside with Kiko.
What’s she doing there? Having fun of course!!
Me + Kiko
Joop spending time with Cody.
And why did I visit her? To bring her from hell to heaven…by taking her to Sevva for afternoon tea. An exhausted mom deserves to be treated like a princess sometimes hahahahhaha.
I went to Shanghai for a few days with M. It was soooo damn hot over there 40C+ degree!!! We went to an area with a bunch of galleries, and while walking M had to drink water constantly.
This is the place we went to.
Another corner of the area…which doesn’t look like Shanghai at all. Quite a relaxing and artsy feel.
At the hotel being retarded.
Back to Hong Kong and went to a pet store called Whiskers and Paws with my friend Elaine. It was adoption day and a few puppies from Hong Kong dog rescue were available for adoption. Elaine wanted to check out the puppies and here’s one of them. This black puppy’s so cute. I heard she was adopted that day after we left. If you are thinking about getting a dog please consider adoption. There’s adoption day at Whiskers and Paws at the Horizon Plaza every weekend.
Finally decided to part with my iphone. I bought the Ericsson C902 which has the functions I need.
No more rain at last!! The weather’s soooo nice and hot it makes me happy. Recently I’ve been having lots of fun.
Ever since M and I moved to the new place our doggies have been getting way too much exercise walking up and down the stairs. The result:
Here’s my new toy thanks to Joop the camera junkie. This low tech pink vista quest is stupid but cool. 3M mega pixels which is less than the camera of your average mobile phone hahaha. Maybe just maybe I am attracted to pink round thing.
This vista quest produces pictures similar to an overpriced lomo camera. Here’s a test pic taken at shakey’s. When I showed M the pic and said “check this out it looks like a lomo pic”, he responded “that’s becoz they all have shitty lens”. Not surprised coming from M the high-end gadget boy.
Picture taken at chau chau’s wedding when I was about 5.5 months pregnant. ^^
Joop loves to hang out at my new place and plays cooking mama. She actually made something yummy this time. *shocks*
Joop and I at her place when I was about…hmm….4-5 months pregnant.
We went to petworld with our dogs for some fun. Petworld is a place for dogs to run around, swim, and socialize with other dogs. We went on a weekday so there were only a few dogs but cody and bubble enjoyed it nonetheless as long as they were allowed to go wild.
First time bubble in a life jacket…soooooo cute sea monkey!!
Cody wanted to rescue the piggie but he’s not keen to dive in. He kept running around the pool not knowing what to do ahhaha.
Finally…
He was able to rescue piggie the plastic ball. Good job cody!
Here’s my lovely eggs benedict just to make you all drool muhahahhah!!!!

I made French toast for breakfast and it tasted so good. It’s important to buy good quality bread and maple syrup.
Ingredients (for 8 slices):
8 slices French bread about 2cm thick
1.5 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1 Tbs Grand Marnier
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tsp orange zest
1/4 Tsp grated nutmeg
1/8 Tsp sea salt
2 Tbs unsalted butter
Icing sugar for dusting
Maple syrup (get the best one you can find)
Mix together milk, eggs, vanilla extract, Grand Marnier, sugar, orange zest, nutmeg and salt. Pour over bread and leave it for one minute. Do the other side. Cover dish with plastic wrap for 10-30 minutes.
In a medium heat frying pan, melt 1 Tbs of butter, add bread and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn it over for another 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown. You can keep it warm in a 95C/200F oven while doing the rest.
Transfer toasts to plate and dust with icing sugar. Serve with maple syrup. Enjoy!

Moved to new place couple weeks ago so I’ve been busy unpacking and stuff. Will update my blog soon. ^^
With the new kitchen I’ve suddenly turned into a pastry chef haha. Next thing I wanna make is Crêpe Suzette. I even bought a tiny bottle of Grand Marnier for it. Some of my favorite desserts are Warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, Chocolate pavlova, Champagne Jelly with strawberries, Black forest cake, Crêpe Suzette, Mango ice cream with berries.
Today Joop’s free so we had lunch together in the afternoon, and then shopped around for a bit.
Joop playing with her Apple laptop. Nice flowers from me!!
Cody’s getting big but still very cute.
Cody’s learned a lot of tricks. Joop’s trying to get him to speak hehe.
Fresh sugar cane juice!! yum yum!
My favorite blueberry yogurt with real blueberries. ^^
1. Reading books instead of e-books on the net.
2. Painting instead of digital art.
3. Wood instead of plastic.
4. Real flowers instead of fake/plastic flowers.
5. Personal written invitation instead of evite.
6. Films instead of digital camera.
One thing that I really really want which is anything but low tech: all the electronic gadgets/appliances without cords. Cords, especially when they hang out in groups, really irritates me.
After more than 10 days of agitation my gocco has finally arrived today. It’s basically a screen printer which uses high heat bulbs to burn a carbon-based image onto a small, disposable screen. Once the screen is burned, you apply ink then re-insert the screen into the Gocco for printing. I haven’t tried it out yet coz I only have 2 screens now and need to be careful which is totally against my personality. I am gonna order a bunch of bulbs and screens so I can go crazy without having to worry about running out of materials. Time to look for the English video demo online.
I can’t believe I found this Melody magnet at Joop’s place muhahaha. It’s one of the toys available at Mcdonald’s and the only one I wanted. When I went to Mcdonald’s it was already sold out. Then I saw this thing on Joop’s fridge and she gave it to me hehe. Nice nice sis!
I could watch this scene from the movie “No country for old men” over and over. It’s scary and funny at the same time. Javier Bardem is the best LOL.
Same guy without the funky haircut.
Making butter cookies with rose jam at 11pm. Those gingerbread men were M’s.
Final products =)
