Two and half cats to love

Enjoying some Meow time without XBD

2011-09-24T10:02:00.001+08:00

The little rascals are looking all relax and taking time to enjoy the time of the day without XBD in the house!

Show Me Some Love!

2011-09-18T17:24:00.001+08:00

小钸点 is 16 mths old. My life is still like a roller-coaster as I struggle to catch up with his ever lasting energy span.

Gone were the days where the little rascals roam about the house freely. These days they retreat to my bedroom and stay under or rather on cover throughout the day only to come during the evening time when we were at home or they know it's safe...

Pathetic you might think.. How could I bear for the little Rascals to be coop up in the room the whole day..

Perhaps not.. Little rascals sure know how to enjoy life while staying undercover.. By sleeping on our bed the whole day!! Much to the (silent) protest of Mr Lim! 反对无效..

These days 小钸点 is starting to show me that he too can be nice to the little rascals.. at least in front of me.. No worries for those animals activist.. all cats are in no way harm.

Even Ah Sky is not spare at my mother's house.

Ah Sky seem to have a soft spot for kids though.. he patiently sits there for 小钸点 to practice showering him with love the correct way.. how much strength to use where to stroke..

Few days ago..

I think your nose is dirty..

Here let me help you like how mama help me... 小钸点 touching Ah Sky's nose carefully

Hmmm i wonder if my finger can fit into his nose...

Tired of using his finger to touch Ah Sky's nose.. 小钸点 decide to give him a nose to nose touch instead..

Ah Sky of course didn't appreciate it.. He walked away.. enough is enough for a cat to endure haha..

Its a rainy day!

2011-03-24T08:24:00.001+08:00

Bummer! It has been the rainy season and ah sky feels the chill in the air

Seems like it has been leaking raindrops in the house too.. Poor ah sky had to resort to hide underneath the umbrella

He decided to stay put and wait for e rain to stop

The rain doesn't seem to stop and soon ah sky got tired and start settling himself in a more comfy position

And then he doze off and fell asleep..

Basking in the sun

2011-01-22T22:01:00.001+08:00

It's a sunny saturday morning and Orange has the best spot to do some sun basking.

Gone are the ugly and dirty looking wire mesh after Mr Lim and I finally decided to spend a small fortune to install window grills on all the windows

By the way the width of the window grills are 2 and half inch apart as recommend by one of the blogger kootoomonster! Now no more fear of the little rascals falling out of window. It's definitely money well spent

Lala also doing her sun basking while checking out my bag.

Orange looked so contented cleaning himself... Hmph of course lah he has finished his daily routine of meowing after us to feed him and just finish his meal!

Yeah I can update my blog on my phone!

2011-01-17T13:30:00.001+08:00

Yeah I finally figure out how to update my blog using my phone!! Yes I finally got myself an iPhone.. yaya I knw I did criticize iPhone 1 year ago but iPhone 4 is different cos it's camera is 5 megapixel! Hehe now I can update my blog after I taken a pic.

Did u all miss lala? It took her 4 months to get use to having my mum around the house. Now she's like last time relax n lazying around the house.

U know it makes me feel sad whenever fren come n tell me now I got xiao bu dian I dun want the little rascals anymore. That's not true!! Yes I do admit I spend lesser time with them but I still make it a point to sayang them whenever I have e time..

Well XBD is getting active day by day.. Diaper changing n bathing him is a challenge as I think of new ways to keep him still with toys. Yes it's tiring n I'm seriously deprive of social cum personal time. but I'm happy.. A different kinda happy I have never experience before..

Three months on..

2010-10-07T14:11:00.006+08:00

Xiao Bu Dian is almost five months old now and I have since return back to work. I am still religiously breastfeeding him day and night whenever possible... If anyone were to ask me what is my current hobby... U know the answer.. Yup.. BREASTFEEDING and EXPRESSING breast milk. Yes it is really hard work but like all mothers I'm gonna say something cliche.. When I look at him now.. I know its all worth it!!

Am thankful for colleagues who are understanding enough to allow me the time to do my "business" at work.. Hope I be able to make it to his sixth month after that can relax don't have to be so paranoid like now.. To Mr Lim thanks for being so understanding during these period of time I know u are trying to lighten my burden a lot of times.. We just have to tahan for another month more after that I promise I won't be so rigid about it okie!

Mum has been a great help since I started working. Glad we are able to come to a mutal agreement without comprising XBD's welfare so now able to focus on work better.

Lala has finally come to accept my mother's presence in our house. Yes it took her four months to get use to my mother and for her to roam about freely in the house when mother is around. No more hiding in the toilet cabinet haha

Orange the ever happy go lucky fellow has taken up his big brother role seriously.. he helps me watch over XBD when he's sleeping in the sarong... though it would be even better if he could help me rock the sarong haha..

Ah Sky on the other hand also accepted XBD as part of the family. He is resigned to the fact that he is no longer the centre attraction of the house.. well he still got the sweet side of him.. sitting near XBD on the bed Now that Im working, I treasure the free time I get to spent with him.. he seems to grow up so fast.. just realise today he's having difficulty fitting into the bumbo seat.. his fleshy thighs get stuck between the loop..

Yes if you realise there is no photo of Lala and XBD.. still haven't got the chance to catch her and XBD together.. She does comes up to sniff XBD but its so fast she scatter off quickly before I can take a shot of it.. I guess she slow to warm up to people like her mummy haha..

A ME moment while Xiao Bu Dian's asleep!

2010-06-26T18:50:00.008+08:00

Finally had a glimpse of time to update my thoughts on events that has been happening in the past 2 months..

Yes I am delighted to announce I had safely delivered my baby boy on 10th of may! Life hasn't been the same and am still struggling at times.. motherhood instinct comes slowly for me as Im not a baby/children person..

House no longer look the same as Xiao Bu Dian's stuff are scattered everywhere...Sometimes when bb has fallen asleep (finally!) and Mr Lim and I were watching TV in the living room, I suddenly forget that I am a mother like life was like 2 months ago...

Nowadays we no longer take our time to eat dinner together. we now have to take turn to eat dinner so other one is free to handle Xiao Bu Dian who demands constant attention.

Little rascals seem indifferent to presence of Xiao Bu Dian. No hissing or biting coming from them... They only been sniffing around Xiao Bu Dian's feet and head and tottered away.. Looks like Xiao Bu Dian is not of interest to them. They just give me the blank startled look whenever Xiao Bu Dian decides to practice his vocal cords.. as if telling me he's disturbing the peace in the house..

I think little rascals were more disturbed by intruders in the house who were around in the day time to help me with Xiao Bu Dian.. During the 1st month, poor little rascals had been hiding in the toilet cabinet not because of Xiao Bu Dian but because of the strangers in the house.. Lala hit record by been inside the whole day. Only to come out from hiding place after 7pm. Orange however just seems to want his moment of solitary hence hid there not out of fear.

Oops Xiao Bu Dian's stirring in his bed.. better go attend to him before he does the you know what...

At my 9th month...

2010-05-02T23:04:00.004+08:00

Im at the end of my 36th week which is my 9th month of pregnancy. Here's a picture of how huge my tummy look now.. I am walking more slowly nowadays. Its depressing to see my feet getting swollen like balloon that makes walking and wearing my work shoes difficult.

Trimming my toenails becomes a tricky task now. Since Mr Lim wasn't confident doing a pedicure for me, I had no choice but to spend $$ to have someone do the job for me.

To cheer myself up, I decided to have my nail toe painted and add a little more $$ to have nail art done as well.. too bad I didn't have a picture of my leg before they swell up otherwise you can really see the before and after look..

A closer look at my nail art..

2 months ago when my tummy wasn't this big. I had an unpleasant encounter with a female colleague.

Tactless She (TS): So how many months are you?

Me: About 7 months.

TS: So small!

Me: Thanks lor! (in a sarcastic tone)

TS: So how many months is XXX? (another pregnant colleague)

Me: Im not sure. maybe one or two months earlier than me? You go and ask her lah

TS: Oh no lah. cos her's seem bigger than yours.

Simply can't believe for someone who has the brain to study in a medical school and a female herself can say such tactless thing to a pregnant lady. I bet she must had converted her EQ storage space for IQ during her course of study.

I was unfortunate enough to have to endure another episode of her tactless conversation last week when TS saw me.

TS: Aiyoh you still walking around ah?

Me: Of course lah, Im working leh, then what you expect me to do? sit on wheelchair?

TS: How many months are you now?

Me: Almost 9 months.

TS: Is this your 1st pregnancy?

Me: Yes (Dying to get away)

TS: (in a sing-song tone) Aiyoh, then you wait long long ah (I presume she's implying that I should expect a long labour process since its my 1st pregnancy)

Irritated with her. I walked away to another area and to realise TS had also walked and continued her "heart-warming conversation" with me.

TS: So when are you due?

Me: Does it matter, anyway you already ask me to wait long long! (and I walked away after saying that)

I think I deserve a round of applause for saying that back at her. I hope she realise that she was really tactless. Thank goodness, she is not my friend hence I can't be bother with her comments. I only pity the patients who had to suffer under her tactless tongue.. I guess throughout the journey of every pregnant lady, they are bound to encounter such unpleasant moments. I have learnt to take it like a pinch of salt and ignore them.

Today is the last day of my leave (3 days only). Had planned for this mini leave so I could rest. Sad to say, these 3 days of rest didn't do any improvement to my bloated and aching feet. In fact they seems worse despite elevating them. Been sitting around and sleeping these 3 days thanks to the ever helpful Mr Lim! I wonder how Im gonna survive through my work tomorrow. Just praying that my leave will be able to bring forward so I can rest more.

Of course, despite my whining about the down side of my pregnancy. I am very glad that BB is doing well and kicking actively. Should be expecting BB anytime soon as I have a feeling he will decide to come out earlier than expected..

Bobby broke his tail! (again!)

2010-04-13T19:32:00.005+08:00

Bobby is my keychain cat. He was a gift from somebody long long time ago. I like it so much I was afraid of spoiling it and has been keeping it in a box for years until I forgot about its existence! I came to realise his existence while packing through my stuff. I decided to let Bobby out and happily put it on my pouch. The above picture was taken during one of his early happy days as my keychain pouch!

Within a month, Bobby met with an accident. As he has a really beautiful long straight tail (made of plastic) this made him highly susceptible to tail injury. His tail must have got broken in my bag. Luckily was able to find it and stick it back with superglue.

Ever since that 1st accident, I felt I must do something to protect Bobby from further damage but I still wanna hang him somewhere I could see him everyday. So I thought hey why not hang it with my nametag.. this way Bobby can follow me around when I work and it cheers my day to see him anyway.

Two days ago, Bobby fell down again.. okie it was the user's fault but I didn't do it on purpose. His tail broke again! for the second time...

The sad thing was when I tell some of my colleagues about it.. they laugh at poor Bobby including MR LIM...

Good thing Bobby is a good nature cat with not much temper.. he seems oblivious to the whole thing.. I hope he's not too traumatise by this whole thing.. cause he's got this daze look..

I kept the broken tail in a very safe place to make sure the paint won't get scrape off or the whole thing disappear as you know its so tiny..

You see, I can even compare it with Lala's tail to show you how tiny is it... Oops shouldn't be doing comparison like that.. might get Bobby upset..

Anyway I thought I'll settle this tiny problem with the use of superglue. I bought a new tube of superglue and tried to glue it back this afternoon.

I applied the superglue on the end of the tail and stick it back to Bobby

held it in position while blowing it to hasten the process of sticking..

only to realise the tail does not stick back to Bobby after I release my grip

I tried the process a few more times with the same result. I got frustrated and decided to apply some on my fingers and stick them together... no lah kidding not that silly. Anyway I applied some on a piece of paper and stick them together and guess what? It doesn't stick!

What kinda stupid glob of superglue is this! Can't even stick paper together! And to think the superglue packaging still have the cheek to caution user that it BONDS SKIN IN SECONDS! Well on the other hand maybe I only have myself to blame... for this stupid tube of superglue only cost me 80cents..

Well looks like Bobby will have to go through few more days without his tail for the time being until I buy a proper truly SUPERGLUE!

And no laughing at Bobby meanwhile...

"Long long" for Ah sky & little rascals

2010-04-09T17:03:00.004+08:00

Thank you all for your encouraging comments. Its comforting to know that there are parents are there in Singapore who has successfully raise healthy baby in presence of cats in the house! In the midst of preparing for arrival of BB, I did not forget the little rascals and ah sky. Decided to buy something for them as well..

I bought this miniature cat keychain for Ah sky attached with a belt. It has the chinese character "寿" on the cat meaning long life. I purposely choose this for ah sky hoping that this will bring him a long life ahead of him.

Ah sky is so vain. He knows its for him and peek from the corner of the sofa (its new by the way) looking on as I adjust it onto his collar

I think he's seems quite happy with the additional add on on his collar. He immediately sit up straight for me to take a photo of him after I put the collar on him... anyway I think he look so handsome even though he dirtied his nose from frequent hideout under the bed...

I got a different reaction from the little rascals though...

First of all, I had a hard time placing the collar back on the little rascals esp Lala.. who thought we are gonna give her another bath.. as we usually remove it before bath..

I actually saw a miniature cat with the chinese character "避邪" on it.. wanted to buy it for Lala as I thought its really suitable for her... Seeing she's so scared and timid of everyone and everything (except Orange, Mr Lim and me) she definitely need some kind of amulet to protect her haha.. Too bad the miniature cat was in black color and you know Lala is mostly darkish black in color and if I put in on her, I wont be able to see the miniature cat..

In the end, I choose this dainty sweet miniature cat with pink blossom flower on it for her. I think its quite suitable for her character.. the demure princess quality in her..

Unlike Ah sky who has no issue with his additional add-on on the collar, this is likewise for Lala. Had to chase her around the house just to put the collar back for her. And after the collar was put on, she kept trying to bite it off as the miniature cat had add on a length followed by the bell.. Was unable to get her to stand/sit still to take a full picture of her with the new add on (like I did for Ah sky). In fact has been trying for past few days without success. Only manage to take the above picture without her face just this am..

Orange did not fare well either. Though did not encounter much difficulty with Orange, he seems nonchalant about his miniature cat. I choose this simple happy looking cat which I reminds me of his character.. Happy-go-lucky with not a care in the world.. doesn't let anything affect him and doesn't bear grudges for long... He's like my zen master... I must remind myself to be more like him nowadays.. Again was not able to take a nice photo of him with the new add on cause he's always thinking Im gonna give him a treat whenever I approach him with the camera god knows why..

Something new something exciting!

2010-03-25T23:34:00.007+08:00

Things are about to change in the household in about 2 months time.. Lifestyle and priorites to change and new challanges to cope.. for the two legged as well as the little rascals.

Yup Im happy to announced that Mr Lim and I are gonna expect our 1st bundle of joy soon.. Hence Mr Lim has been faithfully taking over most of the household chores and bathing for little rascals..

Orange's gonna be a big brother soon Lala's gonna realise she has another rival to fight with for attention.. That's me taken in January with Ah sky lazying beside me.. Now at 7th month gonna be 8th months pregnant (next week) my tummy look much more bigger than this picture.

Not sure if the little rascals or Ah sky knows BB is growing inside me.. I would sometimes place their tail on my tummy hoping they will be able to feel BB movement like I do.. alas no response from them hmmm...

Concern friends had commented on the negative impact of having cats and BB in the same household. To all these kind people out there... I know BB are really fragile but hope you will understand my stand when I said I believe Mr Lim and I will practice the common sense and with my nature of profession I believe the little rascals and BB will be able to co-exist in the same environment.

Abandoning them or giving them away for the sake of BB has never come across my mind. The little rascals are as important as BB is to us. I'm sure there are other Singaporean who have raise a healthy BB with cats in the house.Mr Lim bought this tiger bun some time back.. He excitedly told me its for BB but it came with only one ear.. missing ear on the Lt side... I was quite sad about the missing ear though..

In fact, Im really looking forward to seeing interactions between BB and little rascals in time to come. BB will be surrounded with animals.. cause mother in law has a dog and Ah sky's at my mum's house. I sure hope BB will grow up to learn to respect all animals and of course love cats like I do..

With 2 more months of preparation, people asked me if Im ready.. Well Im not I guess I'll never be.. Having the little rascals around kinda give us a small preparation of having a BB. Little rascals will bang on our door and meow like crazy as early as 6am as early reminder that its nearing their feeding time. But I know having a BB is 10x more hectic than simply listening to cat's meow. Whatever it it, Mr Lim and I will take the days as it comes through trial and error as newbie parents..

True blue Singaporean.. Sky

2010-03-07T12:28:00.004+08:00

Haven't been updating about Ah sky for quite some time. He's seems to be doing okie can't say better as he still have down days where he's vomiting and lethargy.. but no matter what happen, we will always be there with him.

During his last visit to the vet eariler last month, his Crea level in the normal range. Vet said he can be taken off one of the medication and next review be due in 6 months time. Just crossing my fingers his kidneys will be able to cope with less aid from medications..

Anyway, I've got a video of Ah sky eating durian. Yes.. durian.. I always tell people how he loves durian but I guess nobody can imagine how crazy he is.. I guess he's the only cat in singapore that loves durian like a true blue singaporean..

Enjoy the video..

Cupid strikes at the oddest place

2010-02-14T01:29:00.006+08:00

Its Valentine's day and Cupid's arrow seems to strike on our Princess Lala.. hmm just who could the lucky guy that caught her sight..She's been seen hanging outside the room the past few days.. looking like she's guarding something.She's been like this ever since we bought a new vacuum cleaner. An all black and extra silence vacuum cleanerAnd she sure is shy and coy about it when she knows Im observing her. See.. she pretends to be checking up other stuffs and totally ignores the object of her desire...Unable to resist the temptation, she walked over and gently start getting acquaintance with her new friend..After deciding that Mr vacuum cleaner is not a threat, she settle down and starts sniffing it And finally settle herself closely beside her new friend and watch around to make sure no one else gets close to Mr vacuum cleaner. I wonder what attracts her to the Vacuum cleaner.. Could it be the all black shiny surface that Lala feel that it resembles her? Or could it be the big sturdy body gives Lala a sense of protection when sitting beside it?

Anyway I captured a video of Mr vacuum cleaner in action. I think its quite amusing.. The little rascals usually scuffle off at the sight of the old vacuum cleaner in action. Well, Orange still doesn't like the new Mr vacuum cleaner.. perhaps its a guy thing..

Lala on the other hand, surprisingly stayed where she was and simply watch her new friend in action.. in admiration

By the way, the video had been captured with my new HTC diamond 2 hp. Takes wee bit long to upload so be patient. Pictures were also taken with my new hp.. not bad lah rite?

How was my service?

2010-01-13T23:34:00.011+08:00

Another super late entry again.. this entry is meant for the month of December. and Im almost 2 months late... Nowadays my energy lifespan is really short and and the computer seems to have a sedative effect on me everytime I tried to update the blog...

Anyway, my roller coaster ride has come to a smooth ride for the time being.. still on and off bumps in between but its better than the last four months..

In view of my impending status at the moment.. I am sort of handicapped to do lots of things.. one of them include bathing for the little rascals.. For the past two years I have always been the one bathing them

Last month, Mr Lim had to take over the baton from me at least for the next five more months..

Mr Lim was all ready to be the bad guy that day and as a rule of thumb start off with the troublesome one...

Lala...

Lala getting nervous as she realised she's being trapped in the shower cubicle again... and of course I had to supervise the whole procedure to guide the green horn..

Lala's "Get me out of here!" look...

Hehe.. a clearer shot of her with better lighting... u can see the fear in her eyes...

Clinging on desperately onto the shower screen in her bid to escape

Lala giving me the look when she realise Im not there to "save" her after all..
A video of how Lala meows whenever she is being bathe..

Finally over... drying her up.

And now Orange's turn.

Big brother Orange always fare better than his counterpart. Being the gentleman he is.. he will only meow softly but tend to head butt onto you making you wet as well..

Hardworking Mr Lim washing his bottom while Orange patiently waits on..

Unfortunately, his patience is short span and he starts to climb up the shower screen like Lala

Orange giving me the despair look

Video of Orange bathing and his soft meow compared to Lala's

Desperately trying to run away dripping wet while Mr Lim struggled to dry him with the towel.

Of course, its always treat time after bathing time. You can see how excite our Orange is as usual when it comes to food and of course the ever sceptical Lala..
At the end of the day, How was Mr Lim's service?

We've got a clean satisfied cat licking her mouth away after the bathe and treat..

One busy cat looking for quiet spot to lick himself dry after his treat..And of course not to forget
....

....

....

....

3 cheers for the exhausted Mr Lim with the wet pants haha... And for the experience.... Priceless!

See what see..

2009-11-30T11:05:00.007+08:00

Apologies for neglecting my blog for such a long time. Its been a roller coaster ride for me the past two months.. I hope this roller coaster ride is coming to a smooth ride soon.. its a really special and happy period of time for Mr Lim and I now as we anticipate what is to come as months goes by..

Will be updating on Ah sky soon. Been hard to take photos of them nowadays as my handphone's battery is spoilt so unable to use. Currently stuck with an old ancient but useful Nokia handphone which belongs to Mr Lim. Not easy bringing my camera around and taking it out to capture candid shot of them when I want to.. haha I sound as if my camera is very bulky.. Well its not but I just don't find it convenient..

Currently sort of taking another look at Iphone which has been highly recommended by all my fanatic Iphone friend user + Mr Lim. Have to agree with them its really high tech. and the apps seem really cool too bad it fails in the photo megapix (okie I can hear BOO from all Iphone user) anyway another option would be the Samsung jet.. megapix same as my current one and i can be assure i can continue to take wonderful shots.

Managed to upload a few shots of the little rascals looking really busy one of the nights...

When you see a cat standing in a position for quite some time you know they are up to something..

He's so focus on his task that my camera didn't make his lose his concentration!

This staring game got so "fun" and intense that our Lala decided to join in peeking from the corner of the bench...

So what are you staring at Orange?

I got my answer as I follow their gaze and saw the object of desire...Up on one corner of the ceiling is Mr Slimy again who decides to drop in on a visit again..

By now, even Lala had decided to join Orange in the stand.. Both cats looking intensely at Mr Slimy using their cat eye powers hoping to convince him to come down for a "play"

As expected Mr Slimy is not game enough for the "play" that the little rascals had in mind and decided to stay put. Lala gives up trying to convince him to come down with her super biotic eye power. She gave Orange a sniff and walked away.. Leaving Orange the ever hopeful alone..

Eventually when I had taken my shots I asked Mr Lim aka the party spoiler to disperse Mr Slimy away.. hehehe..

End of the day..

Zero casualty

One party spoiler

One disappointed cat

One happy photographer

One new blog entry

The little rascals... missing in action

2009-09-29T12:57:00.002+08:00

The little rascals are complaining that too much focus has been given to Ah sky and are giving me the cold shoulders nowadays.. They have been rather well-behave for past few months but I noticed that their behaviour towards me changed a bit thought.. Orange used to enjoy sitting in the middle of my lap whenever im sitting on the sofa watching the TV.. Sometimes he would even rest his chin on my lap which I love it when he does that.. Now he doesn't do that anymore..

I really wonder why? He still does the drop dead to one side on the floor and demand his tummy rub but he just stopped sitting on my lap.. Did he sense a change in me?

Meanwhile Lala remains the same... on auto mode will sit on the cushion whenever I place it on top of my lap still like Orange she too does not stay long like in the past

During the day, they usually keep themselves busy by napping away or watching me from a distance or sitting close to me but always a distance away.. hmmm really wonder what's wrong with them?

Ah sky still has a soft spot for me after all...

2009-09-06T17:16:00.006+08:00

I went back to see Ah sky again this tuesday and was not surprise that I couldn't see him as he was hiding from me. Despite coaxing from my parents, he still refuse to move out from his comfort zone..

My mother started telling me that when she told ah sky that I am coming over, she noticed he seems anxious. She started jokingly said that he is able to understand what she was telling him that the mere mention of my name can make him nervous. It's not funny.. at least not when Im the cause of this nervousness.

The green eye monster in me surfaces and I maliciously said: What have you all been telling ah sky! I know that was mean of me to say such a thing. I was hurt and angry with Ah sky's reaction towards me and by the way my mother puts it.. Luckily mother didn't take offend in what I said.

I spent the afternoon on my sister's bed using her laptop and ah sky eventually come out when he realised today its not of his visiting doctor day. Some time later, I heard the sound of his bell and I know he's awaken from his cat nap..

To my surprise, he came cooing towards me and jump onto the bed with me. I thought he must be hungry and wants to be fed.. but no.

He sat down beside me and did not meow like he usually did when he's hungry.He yawned lazily and then settled down comfortably in front of the laptop. All my anger and hard feelings instantly melt away by his gesture. Its as if he's telling me that he's sorry for hiding away from me everytime I stepped into the house. And that Im still his favourite jie jie after all I've done for him... In fact he sat there with me for quite a long time until I reluctantly stepped out of the bed to have dinner.

Human tends to do thing in the event of hoping to get something back in return. When a person does a charitable act, did he did it out of good will or for the recognition he will get. When a person gives a gift to another friend, did that friend did it because of he value the person as a friend or simply he's expecting to get a gift in return. Chinese have this saying 礼尚往来. I guess in all my years of knowing people, I have encounter a fair share of countless people/acquaintance who make me doubt their gesture that I can't help but having this "Are they doing it because they value me as a friend or they want something in return" echoing at the back of my mind.

I guess only animals are true and Ah sky sure has a way to my heart. For I am certain I will never doubt his gesture. His lack of words and big on gesture sure put us humans to shame. A cat is better and far more reliable than a human friend.

Papa, Ah sky and me

2009-08-30T15:58:00.005+08:00

First of all, thanks to all those who had posted encouraging comments. Kudos to Kootoo monster who offered an enlightenment on my blog posting frustration.. currently issue seems to resolve and hopefully stays that way. Oh yeah to answer kwanxy Q, my wall deco stickers are still nicely paste on the wall, little rascals haven't been disturbing them..

Anyway, Ah sky's last review went well. His Crea was 2.6 and is a slight improvement from his previous one. His kidney are still shrink like a prune and pancreas are better and no longer a issue. However, I have officially become the tormentor in the eyes of Ah sky. Went back yesterday with Mr Lim and he ran under his comfort zone the moment he saw me and refused to come out during the 30mins I was in the house! Today Mr Lim asked me: Are you upset with ah sky yesterday. Ya I was sad but it can't be help... since I don't get to see him everyday.. its common sense he will associate me with going to vet...

Nowadays things seems to be holding up for ah sky. There's still some bad days.. he still vomits occasionally. However, I don't get so upset when I hear my sister or father tell me that.. Does it means Im learning to cope better or have I become less sensitive to his condition? Good thing he still has the appetite for food. Like his favourite fruits! Papa didn't forget give ah sky a treat on one of his favourite fruit - the ba lu ku hehe.. By the way the purple figure hovering like a ghost in the background is my sister!

Papa have somehow become the official carer for Ah sky now. Thanks to him, ah sky has adapt to his medications routine well. I was really impressed with the way he fed him with the medications.. He did it so effortlessly.. Its amazing ah sky don't repel papa like what he did with me sigh...

Managed to take a video of papa doing his medication round with ah sky.. Its so fast you can't even see him pop the tablet into Ah sky's mouth! Apparrently he pop the tablet into his mouth while he was yawning!

Ah sky's next appointment will be about 3 more weeks from now. I confident his blood result will be better than before even if its just a decrease by 0.1. For now, I should try to be contented as my role as the tormentor in the eyes of Ah sky.. hey somebody has to be the bad guy rite... 我不入地狱谁入地狱...

What is wrong?

Ah Sky is still hanging strong coping better than the two-legged when I went back home 1 week ago. It was disheartening to see him scamper away and hid under the bed the moment he saw me. Great he has associate me with going to the vet. He must be thinking I'm coming home to bring him to the vet again. This is really 用心良苦! Luckily he came out from his hiding place a while later after deciding that I'm of no threat to him that day...

Papa complained about the medication regime saying it's even more complicated than the human ones.. and also went on to say we must have been fooled by the vet to buy more medication when he's actually well.. yup he does seem back to his usual self.. clinging onto mama the moment she came back.. and meowing to be feed...

Evening came and its time for his medication round..

Papa coaxed ah sky to the kitchen to feed him the medicationsAh sky had taken a liking to chewing the pandan leaves, vet said it was okie for him to do that hence like a horse or rabbit nowadays there's always a bunch of pandan leaves on the kitchen floor for him to chew at any time... Nobody's complaining about the messPapa feeding ah sky 2 tablets in an efficient and quick way..

And followed by the syrup which is easier than the tablets.. After which followed by a sulking ah sky running underneath the bed to hide as usual...

Ah sky refusing to come out despite reassurance from us.. I guess this has become his favourite spot this recent month.

I felt rather emotional after watching my father fed ah sky medication. Ah sky may be just a cat but he's definitely been treated as just like a child by each and everyone of us. I guess the only thing that bond us together is him. Ah sky will be going for his second ultrasound, urine and blood test tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers the results will be better than the 1st round... Ah sky is going to hide underneath the bed again tomorrow...

On a lighter note, things are still the same with the little rascals... I saw a wall deco sticker design on the internet however couldn't afford it some time ago. To my delight, I found it in a shop in novena square.. Mr Lim and I decided to put the stickers in the living room...

A draft look on how it will look like... with Lala giving the cats a sniff...

She decided its a waste of her time getting acquaintance with the cats and walks away..

It too didn't catch Orange's attention and I only managed to take a picture of his hind legs and tail..

And whoa la... the stickers are pasted onto the wall... we decided to paste only 3 cats instead of the 4 cats u saw in the above pictures.. felt it was too cramp. That left me with one more cat sticker and a new spot to decide on.. For now I really love this piece of wall...

Ah Sky has fallen sick...

2009-07-30T13:00:00.004+08:00

It all started with Ah sky started vomiting out yellowish fluid abt 2 weeks ago. We all thought he must have drank some water from the bathroom and should be fine in a day's time. However things did not turn out what we expect... He started losing his appetite and became lethargy..

Was brought to the vet that week and was told by vet he's having stomach upset. Medications were given to stop vomiting and to enhance his appetite. When I went back to see ah sky few days later after his 1st consultation, he seems to have lose a couple of pounds. Gone were his puffy round figure and replaced with sunken drooping tummy and lethargy ah sky.
It was even more heartwrenching to carry him to realise what i see before me is true. He weighted so much lighter even though my sister reassured me that he did not lose much weight.

Fast forward to 1 week later and he's still not better, still vomiting and hardly eating. Had to coax him to eat by placing on our palm only then he reluctantly ate a bit. This time, I decided to accompany my sister to bring him to the vet for 2nd time.

I managed to take some picture of sky while waiting for the vet to take his blood..

Sky trying to look brave while my sister is coaxing him...

Sky had lose some weight and his cheek seems to have sunken in unlike the puffy round face in the past...
Doc decided to do a bld test and abd xray. As usual it was a torture for ah sky as well as my sister and I. Results weren't good.
The vet said his kidneys were smaller than the average size (circled in red) and his Crea was slightly elevated - 2.8. which means he could be having either kidney inflammation/infection or worse scenario kidney failure.. in order to find out the exact cause, he will have to go for ultrasound at the hospital as the clinic does not have such facilities. Then he would require an follow up to repeat blood test to check on his Crea level again

Two days ago, we brought sky to the hospital. We were told by the tech that the fur over his tummy region will be shaved for the ultrasound. She said it wasn't necessary for us to go in unless they have problem holding on to him. When he was brought out in the carrier.. nothing prepared us for what we saw. Sky was sitting dazed and stone in the carrier. I guess he must be really traumatized by the process. The tech told us we have to go back to see the doc in the clinic on the same day as the result is not good.

We were very reluctant to have to bring him out again in the evening as we knew it will be extremely stressful for him. However we have no choice as he was due to repeat his blood test as well..

That evening, we brought him back to the clinic vet who told us about the result. Ultrasound shows he has mild pancrestitis and decreased blood supply to his kidney hence the shrunken kidneys.. the decrease blood supply could be caused by an previous inflammation of the blood vessels which could had gone un-noticed or happened recently hence causing the the blood vessels to get constricted.

Ah sky will eventually get kidney failure and he will require lifelong medication.

Repeat blood test shows his Crea had decrease to 2.7 as compared to the 1st one 2.8. Urine test has some white blood cell (indicate urine tract infection) but still concentrated which shows that his kidney is still functioning.

For the time being, he had been given a string of medications to reduce the workload on his kidney, increase blood supply to kidney and low dose of antibiotics to combat the urine tract infection as well as changes to his diet.

Meanwhile he will need to go back and have an repeat ultrasound to check on his pancreas as well as blood result in 2 weeks time.

My emotional roller coaster

2009-07-30T11:21:00.010+08:00

I decided to put up two different blog as I simply have too much to write:

one - on what is happening to Ah sky

two - my thoughts

Ah sky has been in our household since sept 2005. He's coming to 5 years old this Sept. Still a young cat. He has not been an healthy cat since I adopted him. With inguinal hernia and constant flu.. we thought he had FIV luckily it wasn't. We nursed him back to health to a now healthy fat and flabby cat whom has since won the hearts of each and every member of my family.

These past two weeks had been extremely stressful and emotional for my sister and I. I might had prepared myself for the worst when the vet 1st told us ah sky could have kidney failure but I simply couldn't stop my tears from flowing.

While we were waiting in the clinic during at the clinic. I saw an female owner with a her dog I think its a Maltese.. quite old in age... I couldn't help but overheard her conversation with the receptionist that she's bringing her dog for her routine drip. I could see the dog's record on the PC screen from where I was sitting (okie pardon me for violating the dog's confidentiality). I got to know that the Maltese is blind in the eyes (?both) and got kidney problem hence the need for the routine SC drip. The Maltese seems restless sitting beside me on the bench kept scratching the bench with his paw. When the owner placed him on the floor it was then I understood what the Maltese was trying to do. It's struggling to stand up or walk but simply too weak. It seems the Maltese was trying to use its paw in a futile attempt to bring or drag itself up hence the scratching sound of its paw..

Yes it makes me feel for the dog... however the owner seems relaxed and oblivious to her dog's condition. I am not trying to say that the owner is not caring. I am sure the owner is coping in her own her ways and is giving the best for the dog otherwise she won't have bothered to give it to the vet...

From there, I suddenly ask myself... When is enough, enough? When do you know its time to let go despite giving all treatment. If that Maltese is my dog, would I want to continue to put it through the treatments.. knowing the treatments are not to cure but prolong their lives?

I spent the whole day at my mum's house after the morning ultrasound at the hospital. I took a few more pictures of him.

Perhaps its the dim environment that made ah sky look even sicker. He was hiding under the bed the moment he came back from the ultrasound. My father came in to talk to ah sky.. perhaps to give him some pep talk to get him to come out. It was then my sister asked my father..

Pa, do you like ah sky?

My father smiled and hesitated a few seconds before he answered..

Of course lah, he's our cat and part of the family..

I think it really takes a lot for my father to give such a reply. His affection for Ah sky is as much as each and everyone of us. Nonetheless, my sister and I were tremendously touched.

Later that afternoon, a baby lizard decided to drop a dare stint by crawling across the living room much to the terror of my sister.

My father immediately called for ah sky to come out and catch the baby lizard. Ah sky came out..

U see... my father and Ah sky have this amazing relationship that is unlike the rest of us. My father is the only one in the family who is able to engage in a "conversation" with him. He would always pep talk Ah sky asking him to be on night duty to catch cockroaches or lizard in the kitchen which ah Sky will always response with a meow... On most occasion, if my father were to shout from the kitchen that there are cockroaches, ah sky will really come into the kitchen! If the rest of us were try that with Ah sky, chances are he's sure to ignore us... I guess that's how special Ah Sky is to papa..

Anyway that day.. ah sky almost seems back to his usual selfAh sky looked at what papa was looking

And he decided to give him a helping paw with the baby lizard..Lizard died eventually with the aid of a rolled up paper.. my father threw it away before it became Ah sky's snack..

Ah sky looked on longingly as my father threw the baby lizard away...

The frenzy afternoon lizard event must have tired him out and I found him sleeping on the edge of my parent's bed (father went out) while my mother in the room.

Part of his tummy's fur shaved off..

He looked so contentedly asleep like he's not even sick at all. Later that evening when we brought him back to the clinic for repeat blood test the vet said had to do a urine test as well. He did not struggled much during the blood taking. I instinctively hold him after the blood taking to comfort. I can feel his claws clung onto my chest as if he's telling me he's scare or in pain. It brought back memory of how Ah sky had clung onto me the very 1st moment I brought him out from the cage at the Foster's home.

Vet had said he will never recover from his condition. We can only give him medication and modify his diet to prevent his condition from deteriorating. Even if his Crea level shows that its normal it doesn't mean that his kidney function has recover it only simply means that the medication and controlled diet he's having is sufficient to help his kidney to function.

Ah Sky is still young.. and still have many years to go before he will start to deteriorate. But not now so we will fight on with him.. As we struggle to absorb the fact of his condition and my sister struggle to cope with the new medication regime, I know we can find the rhythm of it in time to come.

I don't suppose any of my friends will understand what i am going through now. Only people who have pets will understand the agony and the necessity providing treatment to their pets when they are sick despite the fact that they are only animals. Some friends laughed it off thinking it seems funny when I told them what had happened to Orange in the past. It was hurting but I can't blame them for they do not own a pet. I am fortunate enough to have the support from hubby and family who all love ah sky very much.

Now I know I do not hope that Ah sky will recover from his condition. I only hope that he regain to his normal self soon and get use to his medication regime...

We love you ah sky.. you must be strong okie!

Mysterious feathers...

2009-06-16T15:13:00.003+08:00

They looked on with keen interest as their two legged woke up from her afternoon nap and slowly walked towards the corrider into the living room...

Do you think she saw it?

Yeah I think she did.. look at her face..

Sorry no picture taken of my facial expression as to what I saw before me... I swear if the little rascals could use their paw to use the camera, I bet they would take a picture for me...

Bet you can't tell what's that from this shot... same as me... until I decided to take a closer look

And I realised that its a feather.. and it look like it belong to a real bird...

And more feathers... Scattered over the dinning area...

Fearing the worse, my heart goes out to the poor soul of the owner of these feather... Its such a puzzle how the bird flew into my house as windows were not open except for the top part of the window plane. Strangest thing was, I couldn't see any blood and where is the bird?

I frantically went through the house looking at every secret spot I could think of dreading to find a half eaten bird or remains of it...

Coudn't find any... I decided not to touch the "crime" scene and wait for Mr Lim to come back. Mr Lim came back and was as puzzled as me.. He started to vacuum the feather when he noticed something on the floor.. Small streaks of dried blood on the floor.. very faint which explained why i couldn't see it in the first place.. Mr Lim and I concluded that:

Birdie must have somehow flew in from the top window plane and of course was earnestly "welcome" by the little rascals.. After some struggle between Orange and Lala on who should be the perfect host for the birdie, they accidentially tugged out some of birdie's feather... Angry and annoyed with the hospitality, Birdie flew off where he came in..

Yup, that must be how it happened rite? Oh, my Orangie and Lala are such gentle creatures (ignore the previous entry) they wouldn't think of attacking a harmless birdie rite.. and Im not in denial state okie..

Anyway, to give others the benefit of doubt, we still have to carried out some checks. See nails were cleaned no stains of blood or feather stuck there.. So can't be Orangie..

Lala, simply couldn't get near to her... that girl must be guitly of something according to Mr Lim..

Hmmm, I think I smell birdie on Orangie you know...

They can't be trying to eat the birdie rite? Oops that did not come out from my mouth...

Somebody's up to no good...

2009-05-21T19:02:00.004+08:00

You know someone's been up to no good last night the moment you see this... Or this...For those of you who still doesn't have a clue what is that.. You are either living in a pampered sterile environment or my camera is really lousy...

Anyway this should give you a clearer picture... Looks like somebody gobble up this poor unfortuate Mr Cockroach and end up not able to digest it... Leaving it for the morning two legged to clear up the mess..

As usual, I have nobody's oweing up.. Leaving me to wonder if its...

Lala who is taking a lot of interest in the plastic bag and claiming it her territory at that moment...
Or Orange lying who is enjoying the coolness of the floor and looking at me lazily as I clear up the mess...

Well, Im betting my dollar its Orange thought.. how about you? Haha looks like my lastest blog and the previous one has a similiarity... Somebody's vomitus..

My long overdue blog entry

2009-04-14T12:57:00.003+08:00

That ain't a mole its a strawberry seed that got suck on Orange's nose. He gotten curious with the strawberries I was eating this morning and decided to give it a sniff. Guess he didn't like the smell of it and back off.. If only he would do that to all other food stuff haha..

Anyway decided to give the little rascal their long overdue bathe... Been using a new shampoo goat's milk and green tea shampoo for them and it smells really good!

The green tea smell will stay on them for at least 3 days leaving their fur so soft and smooth.. Feel like using it on my hair...

After their bathe, they went on to obessive cleaning of themselves and somebody decide to vomit out their breakfast... probably due to the accumulation of cat fur he or she swallow...

Yah I know its gross bet you can easily guess whose tummy it came out from...

Orange looking rather ruggard and slightly puffy after his bathe..

Lala the ever complete neat freck princess almost done with her grooming...

Who's the Smarty?

2009-02-09T22:33:00.003+08:00

So who's smarter when it comes to food? Orange or Lala? Orange the well-known to gobble up his food in less than a min or the Posh Lala who enjoy savouring her food slowly while watching out for the ever hungry Orange? We put them up to the test...

Test: A biscuit place in a spot they are not aware of. Test of their hunting skill

Winner: The one who sniffs out the biscuit first

Hmmm... Starting of video, seems like our ever hungry Orange is in the lead. Yup he smells something and is following where his nose is taking him. Oh he's so near to the biscuit and yet he's staring at the window and flicking his tail slowly?? Tsk tsk... After figuring out that the smell not coming from the window, he decided to turn Left instead to Right side where the biscuit is... what a waste... (disappointed "OOHH") Still he doesn't give up.. Our Orange is dead sure the biscuit is somewhere nearby and he decide to sit down and slowly analyse it... All the time sniffing and twitching his nose looking up down left right... Looks like Orange's strategy is to go slow and steady ah...

Oops... here comes Lala. She might be a tad slower than Orange but she caught up with him.. She gave the camera a good sniff to make sure biscuit is not hiding in Mummy's hand. Our Orange still looking cool and calm not at all threaten by Lala.. Who will find the biscuit??

Lala's strong sense of smell has led her straight to the spot! And she took less than 10 seconds to find it! Poor Orange could only look on helplessly as Lala munch on the biscuit. Hopeful Orange still went up to the spot to see if they still any biscuit...only to have the close up blissful look of Lala licking her mouth away.. Feeling defeated he walks away...

Later when asked how did Lala find the biscuit in such a short time here's what she said: "Oh you know me... I savour my food slowly and take the time to smell them unlike others who only gobble up their food..."

Hao Lian (Arrogant) Ah sky and other updates..

2008-12-07T19:24:00.011+08:00

Its been a long time since I last update my blog. Taken lots of photos past few months and been making empty promises to myself to upload them on the blog... Well today's blog bit of a rojak..

First of all, an update on our King of the 3 cats.. ah sky

Mama's been doing her usual spring cleaning of the house without success. She was about to throw away a box when she realise that Ah Sky had taken a liking to it..

Well box strike off the list of to be thrown.. now upgraded as a private property of Ah Sky. Mama even make the effort of making it comfortable for him by placing a cushion inside..

He's just so proud to show off his new place... Strolling to the box and settling himself there acting nonchalant as I click my camera away...

Just what is he up to now?

This is a new pan that mama bought for me.. seems like Ah sky has taken an interest in it too...

First he tried resting the front part of his body into the pan for a feel...

Feeling satisfied, he squeezed himself into the pan and refused to move.

But soon he was distracted by a plastic bag beside him and he decide to play with it but still not moving out of the pan.

What? Can't I have some fun?

Meanwhile its been havoc at home as usual..

Who else but our Princess Lala throwing her tantrum to fit of anger when she heard of Ah Sky's new property..

Can you see what I see?? No.. not the disgusting foot dangling by the van's door.. and no its not a dead body either...

Yes.. look its a white cat. I've been eyeing this cat(guessing its a female) since the day I've been staying in my new house. Apparently she belongs to the family staying behind that window on the 2nd storey. Have seen her jumping out from that window with another black cat.. Was shocked the first time I saw it.. Then I realise that they just enjoy sitting on the parapet looking at the world go by... I wonder how many people notice the cat. Don't think I'll ever let my little rascals pop out of the window even if I stay on the 2nd storey. Mr leg by the door was sure staring at me as I took pictures of this cat. I think he thought I was taking pictures of him as he start giving me a dirty look.. Ooops..

Woo... its an egg...

And it belongs to Ah Sky...He sure is guiding it like his precious thing even when he's asleep.. Don't think he's really asleep though.. He just pretending to be sleeping.. Eyes are half close.. ever ready to snap at anyone who tries to steal his precious.. hmm sound familiar?

Oh look who's this?

Well, I name him Skippy.. He's the 1st friendly Punggolian cat I've seen so far.. Rest of the cat (not many only seen 2 so far) are so timid/shy they scatter away when I saw them.. He just walked up to him asking for a good rub on the head so I gave him some treats. Good thing he's been sterilized.. Think there must be a group of cat welfare team somewhere near this area.. Great job guys! Hope to be able to see Skippy more often..

Work disrupted..

2008-10-27T15:39:00.008+08:00

Mummy has been hogging on to my favourite chair for the past few weeks. Don't know what she's doing but she's sure making a mess on the table. What's with the newspaper? Is she still looking out for our pictures? She simply refuse to move when I meowed relentlessly at her. So I waited one corner patiently and the moment I saw her standing up and walked out of the room...

I sat on it. Of course she doesn't too cool about it. She complained to Daddy how sneaky I was.. then she gave me a grumpy look...Me? I returned back the grumpy look as well.. protesting that my need is more important than hers.

Then not wasting any time, I act busy so she can't shoo me away haha..

Lala decided to find out what's keeping mummy so busy...

She decide to help relieve Mummy's workload by helping her to go through her notes and list out the important points.

Must enjoy my moment of victory as mummy had no choice but to push another chair to sit on.

However she realise that its difficulty to hold a pen or type in her notes using the keyboard

She decide to sit on the newspaper and wait for Mummy to come back and try to discuss with her.

Mummy seeing the both of us occupying the area, decide to call it a day and went out to watch TV...

We're on newspaper!!

2008-10-07T00:12:00.004+08:00

Hey guess what, we're on yesterday's newspaper and a winner too! Mummy was so proud of us she generously open my favourite can food for dinner yummy! hehe.. Lala look kinda upset though.. as she is unhappy with mummy for choosing this photo of her looking so grumpy so un-glam she was complaining away..

Who's the super loafer?

2008-09-26T13:54:00.011+08:00

Mummy and daddy sure know how to enjoy life... they got a sofa, bed and chairs and all we got is Sally the basket to sleep in.. kinda unfair right...
Leaving us no choice but to improvise their furniture to suit our needs...

Today, we make a pact not to argue with one another and to share our favourite spot in the house with one another...

hey stop pushing against my paw..

Sleeping on the sofa in the daytime is not a bad place though not the best. Have to be there 1st to grab the best spot.. place can be bit noisy with distraction from mummy or daddy.. lucky I know the tactic to block out these distractions.

This swivel chair is a good place to sleep in especially when its tuck underneath the table. I can sleep the afternoon away cause its dark and I know mummy can't find me (used to)

Another favourite spot on the sofa.. the hand rest! The width and length is just right for my body... okie i know my leg is dangling out.. hmmm just did that on purpose to show off my slender leg keke.

We may not always see eye to eye on lots of things, but we definitely share the same standard on choosing a sleeping spot.. So who reach here 1st ah?

As you all should know by now, the famous top of the fridge spot found by ME first.. Best spot in the house.. estimated time for Mummy to find me: 5mins, Daddy: 7mins haha not to mention watching them go round the house looking for me...

Let me tell you, a cleaned dried towel is the best backing to lie on.. Wooo... the crisp of the towel rubbing against my body is like a massage.. Hmmm... Mummy don't agree with me though...

You see, baby sister can be such a copycat sometimes... Lala simply loves hogging the place that I set my eye on.. Lucky this time IM not MOVING MY BUTT haha

Cushion + human sitting on it = Comfort. I quickly hogged on it once Mummy moves away from the spot.. See my formula is right.. I fell right asleep on it..

The smell of new sheet is intoxicating... Never fails to put me in deep sleep within mins..

Sometimes when Im in a good mood, I extent my generosity to LaLa.. letting her lean on me

Okie I confess.. I only do this when mummy or daddy is around...

Basin are best for hot weather!! its concave part simply mould onto the contour of my body and the cooling surface brings down my body temperature.. Perfect.. but note: Not to use when Mummy or Daddy is inside unless you're having a blocked nose..

Another way to share the spot when each simply refuse to leave, sleep on opposite ends

Mummy's bag is a good place to tuck myself in.. I love leaving traces of me inside her bag so she can be reminded of me when she's outside hehe...

When you want a spot really BADLY.. try striking this pose and look at them earnestly...

It may not work well on Orange...Oh please, cutesy pose won't work on me

But it sure work well on Daddy and look where it got me! A spot on the bed beside Daddy! See, Im just practising my "Nah nah ni bu bu..I got the bed and you don't" look to Orange!

Guess who?

Hehe.. Its me! The ultimate best spot.. the place they took the longest to find me! In the wardrobe beside the clothes quiet and cozy.. Not even Lala can disturb me..

So who's the super loafer? Lala or me? Most importantly what's the prize for the winner??

Green for a day

2008-09-08T23:43:00.009+08:00

Few months ago, Somebody in the office gave Mr Lim a money plant. He decided to bring it home to beautify the bathroom which he always complain was too dull.

It was a pity he thought too lightly about the watering part and even declared that it doesn't need any watering. The plant would be able to absorb the water from the moisture of the bathroom so he says...

Few weeks later...

the money plant started to show its gratitude to the owner by transforming its leaf "gold" Seems like the money plant is not absorbing the moisture from the bathroom well as claimed by Mr Lim.

As days goes by, leaves began torn and tattered and I start to wonder why..

On closer inspection, leave seems to be chewed by someone... Giant caterpillar??

Why am I not surprise... The usual culprit ~Orange aka the caterpillar... Seems like he decided to go on a detox by chewing on some greens!

Busy choosing the best juiciest leaf to chew on, he doesn't even realise Im taking picture of him!

He ate till his heart's content only to end up looking at this...

Gosh, I think Im gonna puke...

Lala hiding from a safe spot watching Orange...

And his tummy start to protest this it what I found... Ya i know its gross especially when I zoom all the way at it... guess he even threw out some of his breakfast... And look at the piece of leaf.. I guess Orange doesn't practice chewing his food well before swallowing..

To prevent further tummy upset, I decided to hang the money plant outside the window where it can get the maximum sunlight and rain... Orange was disappointed of course... kept starring at the plant... So near yet so far away...

One people one nation hmmm not true for cats

2008-08-10T18:04:00.007+08:00

Yesterday was the day where every Singaporean come together as one to celebrate our Nation's 43rd birthday. It is also the day to remind ourselves to stay united as one nation irregardless of race, language or religious. So much for harmony for humankind.. too bad the cats weren't feeling so patriotic.

I went to my mum's house to watch the NDP on television with them. Guess who I saw?

Yup its Pingpong!! He was sitting in the middle of the lift landing as usual. I went over to give him a good head rub then he walked over to the front of the lift and patiently wait for it like the rest. The rest of the crowd who were also waiting for the lift were amused by his action and a kid begin to giggle saying "cat take lift".

True enough, the lift came and Pingpong was the 1st to walked in and stood by one corner in a cat-porcelain position. Too bad there was too many people in the lift and I couldn't take a picture but it was so cute.

The lift landed on my floor and to my delight, Pingpong walked out of the lift with me!!

Pingpong walked over to a plastic bag in the corner of the lift landing and make himself comfortable...

Again, I sneaked some of Ah sky's dry food for Pingpong to eat. Ah sky was sleeping... I was careful not to make any sound as I scooped the biscuit out onto a tissue all the time praying ah sky won't be awake by the scent of it... I guess yesterday's weather was simply too good for sleeping

Biscuit gone in a flash.. Hey did u see that clipped ear.. Pingpong's been sterilized!

A good body clean up after a hearty meal..

Cheers to Mr Lim, squatting patiently with the umbrella waiting for me and rewarded with a friendly snuggle from Pingpong.

Oh goody I finally captured a shot of Pingpong's stunning blue eyes!! Isn't he handsome...

Satisfied seeing him and capturing a front view of him, Mr Lim and I head over my mum's house to watch the NDP. A while later, my father got all excited and carried Ah Sky to the front gate... To my surprise, Pingpong was walking past our common corridor...

Sensing a stranger of its kind, Ah sky leaped up onto the front gate with his front paw in a bid to see. Standing by his side is my father stroking Ah Sky's head and telling him "see friend friend ah"

Ping pong stood still with blue eyes watching Ah sky intensely

And they just stood there frozen in time just watching one another...

Then they start having a growling competition.

Fearing that they would start to fight, I decided to carry Ah sky away while my father start to shoo Pingpong away..

But Ping pong seems to have other idea. Not at all bothered by the hostility shown by Ah sky. He choose to settle himself comfortably underneath our flowerpots.

Then Ah sky came over and start the staring business again...

After some shooing, Ping pong finally retaliated and sit further away from our house

While Ah sky sit on his comfy couch and looked at the door cautiously...

The scaredy cats

2008-08-07T16:44:00.005+08:00

Last saturday, two two-legged strangers came over our house in the morning to do air-con maintainance. And the little rascals suddenly vanished. I called out for them name to no avail (nah.. doesn't work most of the time!) I went to the kitchen and found Orange without much effort...

He was hiding under the metal rack in the kitchen. Actually come to think of it. That was one of first spot he hid when he came into the household the very first time.

Suddenly our Oragne don't look so confident and aloof anymore. He looks at me wearily refusing to come out from his "safe" spot.

Next, I start looking for Lala.. now that can be quite tricky as there's quite a few places she can squeeze herself into.. given her slender figure...

Believe me.. She used to be able to squeeze herself into this tiny slot between the fridge and the cabinet... Well, there was of course in the past.. nowadays she has since abandon this hiding spot as it's been getting a bit of challange... if you know what i mean..

I even looked underneath the sofa, in the wardrobe, even the toilet and I still can't find her...

Then Mr Lim suggested to checked the washing machine... She can't have open up the lid and hid herself in right?

Then again, anything is possible right? There she is hiding not inside the washing machine but somehow she has found a new hiding spot... the space behind the washing machine. haha look at the things that had been dropped there and forgotten... now I know where are my scoops keke..

When the strangers are gone, Orange then cautiously crawled out from his hiding spot and stooped low staring towards the living room...

Are you sure they're gone?

Better check it for myself...

hmmm... can't seems to detect anything threatening.. hehe I bet im better at hiding myself than orange.. so not orginial to hiding oneself under the kitchen rack...

Meet the coolest cat in the neighbourhood!

2008-07-29T14:16:00.003+08:00

There has been sighting of a handsome cat roaming around in my mum's neighbourhood recently. One that even knows how to use the lift! Those who seen the cat describe it as confident and friendly some even say pretty... So just who is this cat?

I finally saw it myself one day.. there it was lying in the middle of the passageway along the lift landing not at all bothered by the crowd of people walking by or walking over him. Too bad i didn't have my camera with me so couldn't take any pic at that time. I decided to name this cat Ping Pong hehe..

Yesterday.. I finally bumped onto Ping pong again and he was such a friendly cat not fearful of strangers at all. I wonder if he was an abandoned cat as my family only started seeing him recently in the neighbourhood.

Ping pong waking up from his nap...

He's got this white with cappuccino shade on him with dark brownish tip nose and ears, top up with a pair of clear blue eyes and a slick long tail... He's so friendly that he just continue to lie on his side as I slowly stroke his head and ears.

Wanted to capture his blue eyes but Ping Pong is definitely camera shy.. He kept turning away or closing his eye in my desperate attempt to take a good picture of his front view...
I think I end up looking like a siao cha bo (crazy women) or suspicious charactor loitering along the stairs landing with my handphone squatting around moving like a duck not to forget perspiring away..
I sneaked out some of Ah sky's dry food for Ping Pong to munch on while he's taking his afternoon nap.Licking his mouth after a treat from me..

Followed by the routine cleaning of their paws..

And then lying on his side to await for 2nd round of tummy rub from me hehe...

Same thing different reaction

2008-06-29T22:35:00.008+08:00

Few weeks ago, I saw a sleep in basket for pet selling at a bargain price in a shopping mall. cost only $10. I bought 2 of them without hesitation.. one for the little rascals to share another one for ah sky of course...

Few days later, I brought along the new bed for Ah sky when I went over to my mum's house.

Ah sky, as usual looking unexcitedly at us as we, the two legged fuss over his new bed and how me, the cheapo queen managed to get such a cheap deal...

We removed the bed from the plastic and lay it nicely for ah sky to test out his new bed.

Then we watched...

And we waited...

And this was his reaction. Sitting on his swivel chair with no intention to even move a inch off it to test out his new gift! Just staring at it..

Not even some tugging from mum manage to get Ah sky getting off the chair..

(okie sorry for lousy pic) He still refuse to get into the bed despite coaxing from us...

I thought to myself: Ah sky sure don't know how to enjoy life... My little rascals sure gonna fight over it... While my father nag away on how I waste money buying such things that cat don't appreciate..

The little rascals seems pretty curious about it.. they started sniffing around even before we peeled open the plastic

Orange also joining in the sniffing session once we open up packaging... Not a bed response.. definitely better than Ah sky..

But to my dismay... that was what they did for the next few days... sniffing around the perimeter of the new bed and not even stepping in to try out...

Just as I was feeling despair that I really wasted my money, my sister sent me an MMS..

Our Ah sky finally decided to give the new bed a try out and quietly slip in and settle himself comfortably.. according to my sister, he seems quite shy about it. He seems to get awkward if he was caught sitting in the new bed and quickly get out of it.. weird ah..

Our Ah sky in denial state: Who says I like it.. its not really that great actually..

Well, at least some cat finally appreciate it

While others appreciate it in other ways... Today found Orange sleeping into the bed... but on closer look its actually upside down! Somehow, he decided that its more comfy to sleep on the bottom of the bed and without the cushion that comes with it.

Oops did i see a small hole there...can you see it? Tsk tsk... I wonder how long this will last...

Tyrant caught red-handed!

2008-06-04T19:44:00.009+08:00

Here is our Orange idling on top of the fridge enjoying the lazy sunny afternoon.

He sure know how to pick the best spot.. he's enjoying the view from atop but not for long...

Sulking in one corner is our spoil brat Princess Lala silently watching Orange... She is not happy to see Orange having the best spot. Seeing the coast is clear she decided to strike while Orange is not aware

Schemingly Lala, sneakily climbed onto the fridge pretending to explore the side of the fridge. Our orange totally unaware of her true intention.. happily cleans his paw.

Once again she looks afar, as if to make sure no one is watching her.. before she commit her undesirable business.. All the while Orange still cleaning his paws...

She stooped forward as if trying to do some somersault...

On closer examination, our naughty Lala is actually biting Orange's tail!

Oops, she's about to loose her balance and fall...

But no.. she's actually trying to squeeze herself in Orange's space. By this time, our good-natured Orange got annoyed and tried to fight back.

But its too late, she continues to push and squeeze herself into his spot.

She finally got a spot but leaving poor Orange no choice but to sit further one corner.

Look at her smug look.. she's got the "yeah i got it" look written all over her face!

Just as you think she merely wanted to share the spot with Orange, Oh no you are wrong! She continue to use her hind leg to push Orange..

Poor Orange being the gentleman, gives up the spot.

She looks down at the cat below.. simply couldn't believe her luck.. hard work all paid off finally.. got what she wanted.. A perfect spot to spent the afternoon all by herself...

He looks up the cat on top. Simply couldn't believe how he actually got kicked down by a spot he found first.

Disgusted with such unsightly behaviour, he looks away to walk off looking for some comfort from the two legged.

Ah sky aka coolest cat in our household

2008-05-09T18:43:00.004+08:00

Hmpf.. Finally my spot for me on this blog... Been long enough... This blog is overdosed with Orange and Lala the spoiled brats.. Anyway not that Im jealous.. Im simply the loveable fellow in the household.. I don't have to fight with anyone for attention and the two legged just come flocking to me... Hai what can I say men.. They simply ADORE me... keke

Recently my favourite two legged even did an autobiography of me ahem... Dig that Orange, Lala ha! Funny how come she didn't give me directly and gave to her sister! Hey its about me right so i should get the ownership of it. Anyway have to say she did a great job.. there were pictures of me when I first came into the household... gosh don't even recognise myself!

A twiggy looking me during my younger days...

Look how my sunken in my cheek were last time... tsk tsk

Well, those were the days...Nowadays, life just gets better.. the feeding time comes easier when I simply meow.. especially ever since the annual visit to vet said I wasn't overweight.. currently weight-4kg.

I still enjoy being the knight in shinning amour for mama especially when the commando is not around.. Plastic bag are also fun to play with...

Ah sky on mama's bed when evening falls...

Keeping mama company while she's playing her suduku.. isn't it sweet..

Ah sky got red handed playing with plastic bag!

Amazing how he managed to hook himself into the loop of the plastic bag.. dragging it out from under the table to his usual parking slot and looking so at ease...

There there... isn't this picture of the whole family sweet... especially the one with the tie (that's me!) well since the idea of having this blog is about me.. I figure that the rest of the members aren't important hence their faces covered.. this way they won't steal the limelight from me keke...

Tips to have Lala's tum tum

2008-04-07T12:03:00.006+08:00

Mummy has been telling me that she saw someone who also has a furry tummy like me.. I think mine is more nicer.. Anyway I decided to give an exclusive interview on how I keep my furry tummy looking so nice and lush...

First, remember to suntan your tummy by the window when the sun is good... Not for long though.. won't want fizzy fur..

Love it even better when Mummy and Daddy gives my tummy a good rub.. because it helps get rid of the dead fur and create the volume u know keke...

Brush your fur exactly 100 times okie no more or less... On and off air your tummy to let your fur have a breathing space.. can promote fur growth

Okie there you have it.. my tips! what... very little u were saying? keke of course Im not telling all.. Can't have every cat looking at me then I won't be special right...

Oh ya, and one more thing... I guess Im just born with it...

3 cheers for Mr Lim!!

2008-04-07T11:39:00.005+08:00

Ever since we saw a cat comic in Japan, I mentioned to Mr Lim that I want to try to read a comic about cat when we go back to Spore. Since Mr Lim is a comic lover, I thought I should try to get involve in his hobby you know... We tried to look for cat related comic whenever he's in his comic shop to crave his addiction but to no avail...

Knowing that I've been feeling real blue like the weather the past few days... Mr Lim decide to try to chase the gloomy clouds for me. Having remember that I wanna read a cat comic, he spends hours in the comic shop yesterday and came back with these:

He even went through the hassle of making sure that the content has very simple and few chinese words (cos I really really suck at reading chinese keke *ashamed*) Its really such a sweet and thoughtful gesture from him!! 3 cheers for you! For he really really made my day yesterday even with my PMS..

I decided to share one of chapter with you all.. its bit small hope u guys can still read the words.. sorry.. really like this 大笨猫 the author really capture the behaviour of cats. Laughter at every page.. Of course non cat lover, may not appreciate this comic as much as I do.. Anyway, enjoy them...

Thanks Mr Lim, u sure know how to cheer my day up... Love you always..

The morning visitor..Part 2 (Not for scarey cats)

2008-03-31T11:00:00.004+08:00

It seems like the terror of Mr Slimy is not over yet. Yesterday morning, ya get that right! It's morning this time and not at night. Those slimes are just getting bolder! Found a tiny one hiding under my bag on the table! Little slimy was quick as lightning and decided to hide underneath the my scraggy.

This time round I was more alert and fast unlike the 1st time round. I quickly shoo the little rascals to the kitchen and close the sliding door before they got a sniff of what's happening. Won't be needing the extra help from them...

As usual shouting for Mr Lim to come get rid of it... He came this time looking irritated..
Where? was all he said.
I pointed to my scraggy with him poking gingerly at it.
Sensing the slightest movement, our young and diligent little slimy crawled out of its hiding place it clear view.

Our Mr Lim then decide to adopt the same method of disposal as the previous time - the thick mound of toilet papers! Hey dude, do u actually think this is like the tail.. this thing is so slimy its gonna slip out from your toilet paper onto god knows where before you have the chance to dispose it. Lucky I got a better solution. I quickly find an available plastic bag which happens to be a zip lock bag and swiftly trapped little slimy inside... Mr Lim look at me remarkably.. commenting me on my good idea...

Hmm, we were wondering if Mr/Ms slimy and little slimy were related to one another? I think I can hear disgusted eeewww from some. Despite all, Little rascals was unaware of what's happening... Silly them standing behind the sliding door wondering what's the hassle...

The late night visitor (not for the faint-hearted )

2008-03-27T11:50:00.006+08:00

Yesterday night was an animal night as well as live show.. Lala for the 1st time got fascinated with what Mr Lim and I were watching on the TV. Arts central was showing a documentary on the marine life.

Lala transfixed by what's on the TV

Woo.. bird bird

Lala: Don't fly bird bird... Let me climb up and take a closer look..Im gonna catch you..

In fact Lala got so fixed onto the baby turtle she decided she to get a closer look by climbing up the table. Orange of course got the best spot.. on the coffee table directly in front the TV with the best view.

Mummy, can we subscribe to animal channel... its educational you know... I love it just brings out the wild side of me...

After watching documentary on TV. Orange had an encounter of his own later on in the night. I walked into the living and saw a slimy late night visitor squiggle in from the dining area window. Orange saw it before I can have time to react. He was prowling on Mr slimy and what happened next is really in fast motion with me screaming hysterically for Mr Lim: "Hurry up come hurry up come!! Orange gonna eat Mr slimy don't let him do that stop him..." And at the time trying to get close to Orange yet repelled to do so. And of course Orange by this time already got hold of Mr slimy and had him in his mouth ready to "play" with his lucky late night supper first!! Our hero Mr Lim enters the scene: Holding the spray water bottle in his hand and looking slightly disgusted, he aimed the water spray at Orange hoping he won't eat Mr slimy. Surprised by the jet of cool water on him, Orange didn't seem to understand why we were punishing him. He thinks he's just doing us a favour... oh plz.. The cool water actually scared him into letting loose on his deathly grip on Mr slimy and Mr slimy dropped onto the floor. Without further ado.. Mr slimy made his escape from where he came in from.. and to my dismay I noticed he looked abit shorter..

Now I know why he seems shorter on his way to escapism. He left a part of him behind and a tiny spot of blood. (water on the floor due to the water spray). Guess I won't need to tell you who Mr slimy is. You can tell from this fat long tail he or she is probably a full grown one.. Anyway to disgust you even further, it was still wiggling while I took a clear shot of it. Too bad I couldn't take a picture of Mr slimy while he was escaping... Like I said it all happened too fast. Ya I know somebody will get really squeamish about this.. Probably won't be thinking of going near Orange for a quite some time...

Mr Lim and I looked at the tail still wiggling about. I stared at Mr Lim with my "U've gotta get rid of it" look. Well, a man gotta act like a man and being the only male species (can't count Orange in it though I know he's all paws up to help us get rid of it) he wrapped the tail in thick layers of tissue and discard it. (Mr Lim actually wanted to flashed it down the toilet which I strongly disagree... I mean what if that thing is still wiggling and manage to wiggle its way back to my toilet bowl... eewww)

I suddenly looked at Orange in a different light. Definitely not like my playful cute and cuddly boy but a killer with quick instinct.. This morning, Orange climbed onto the bed wanted a morning cuddle from me. I avoided his face...

The picture says it all

2008-03-14T11:32:00.005+08:00

Came back yesterday and found this: My all time favourite mug lay broken on the floor

Princess Lala pretending to act as surprise as me at scene

Only sole witness to the above incident was unfortunately silenced before I could questioned her.

(Looking anywhere but me) Nope, definitely not me !

Caught our Princess Lala with the guilty started look when I caught her unaware...

Immediately change into her cool as cucumber posh style look- You've to be kidding right.. me a princess playing with your dirty mug.. oh plz I've better things to do..

Just to side track, saw this clipping on the straits' time today. This stray cat hid onto the car tyre to hide from the rain yesterday. Cats are smart definitely know how make use of any situation to their advantage.. Just like the little rascals :-P

Bath time = 2 grumpy wet cat + injured me

2008-03-12T11:17:00.009+08:00

There comes a day every month for the little rascals to get some extra assistant from me to clean their body and give their tongue a rest day haha.. Not that they are not doing a good job out of it but hey tongue has its limitation right. U sure cant get your tongue to clean your own back right? Anyway they always smell nicer for me to cuddle...

Since it was sunny day last Sunday, I decided to give the little rascals their long due bath meant for the month of February..

Orange: Well, kiddo you lose the bet.. Mummy is giving us that bathing time look!

Lala: Rats! I should have know Mummy won't let it slip out of her mind... men doesn't she has better things to do! Just know its knew its too good to be true!

Orange: Well, you still lose the bet.. don't forget to leave half your dinner for me kaka..

As usual, I had to catch Lala 1st to bathe since she's the smaller in size and could easily hide in hard to reach places in time of danger. Sorry guys, no pictures were taken during their bathing time... the little rascals start to protest about their legal cat privacy rights...

Bathing with Lala is a test of my agility and patience and speed. She would start to cling onto my T-shirt with her claws as we approached the bathroom. Looking at me with her fearful dilated pupils that scream: Please don't put me through this! Well somebody has to do the job right.. can't count on Mr Lim who's reading the newspaper in the living room and half dozing off.. obviously oblivious to the mini commutation in the bathroom.

Lala starts howling once she knows there's no escape. Since there wasn't any lock on the bathroom screen and I realise that Lala has learn the art of sliding the screen open with her paws, I had to use one of my leg to hold onto the screen to keep it from sliding. It was at this time that I realise I a natural acrobat.. balancing on one leg and quickly using my hands to shower her. Throughout the whole time, Lala would be crawling about in the shower area with me blocking her route.. sure am glad my bathroom is small.

At this time, my half dozing off Mr Lim decided to take of peek from the top of the shower screen gloating over the wet and miserable Lala.. Seeing him, Lala the ever optimistic thought she could stand a chance of escape by leaping up the screen in the bid of hoping she could actually jumped over it. Alas, even cats has its limitation, she landed right back on the floor and on top of my feet! I yeaped out in pain and shocked as I see angry marks start swelling and appearing on my feet. Sensing trouble.. our Mr Lim quietly makes his exit...

An illustration on where Mr Lim was standing looking at the "show" and how Lala leaped upwards the screen..

Marks left behind by Lala after she landed on my feet in her bid to escape! Ouch right... but I'll survive..

Orange fare much better for his bathing. Like a big boy, he took the shower in his stride and not at all meowing and howling away like his sister..

The little rascals are most grumpy after their bathe... they went on to one corner and obsessively licked themselves dry.. each competing with another to see who dries him or herself faster. Pictures were hard to capture during this time as they totally ignore me.. probably still feeling sore that I force them to bathe..

In dramatic whining voice: Oh look what you've done to my once beautiful fur. Now Im gonna make sure I have to lick them dry for a 100 times according to my rules of princess Lala.. where's my servant?? oh and while you looking for that, a cup of lukewarm water for me.. gonna be thirsty after all that licking..

Hate being wet.. Just look so unglamorous with all my fur matted together... So damaging for my reputation!

Lala: Will you stop following me around with that annoying box! This is a demoralising sob sob..

m cool being wet.. no problem men at least I know I got to eat treats after that... hmm so where's the treat ah?

Best stay far away from Lala.. heard she's shouting for her "servant" won't wanna be mistaken for one men..

Yippeee.. the moment I've been waiting for!! treat treat!! Well, kiddo you still got lots to learn from me men... sacrifice a bit and you got a big fish waiting for you at the end..

Lala: #@!$%^...

Uneventful day :-(

2008-02-13T10:59:00.004+08:00

Orange's diarrhea continued yesterday amounting to a total of 5 times. Though each time was only a small amount of watery stool but I know its enough to dehydrate a small animal. Had to force feed him water via syringe for fear he might go into dehydration. Brought him to the vet that evening. Vet gave Orange a mild scolding for being a glutton. He was given some medications to stop the diarrhea and some friendly bacterica for his tummy.

Orange seems to shrink after a day of diarrhea. He hardly has the energy to even meow while I was preparing his food. Doc recommend me to feed him clear diet-boiled chicken breast meat with some porridge.

Yesterday's dinner as ordered by doc.

Its surprising to still see Orange have the appetite to eat though he ate slower than usual.

As usual, I had to give Lala the same kinda food for fear she might think Im showing favourism. For once, Lala finishes her food faster than Orange. In fact, he didn't even finish his food, guess he doesn't have much appetite.

One hour later after his meal and medications, Orange started retching and foaming on the mouth. It was scary like he's poisoned.

Helplessly, I watched him paced around the kitchen dripping bubbly foam on the floor. I didn't know what happen to him and called up the vet. They told me to put him off the water and food for next 12hrs and observe him. And that symptom that I describe by the way is the cat's way of vomiting and nausea.

Mr Lim and I felt that he must have eating too much dinner just now and drank too much water hence causing the vomiting.

Lala staring through the translucent door looking at his bro while Orange vomiting... There's nothing much I could do expect to stay with Orange and watching him foam small puddle of bubbly foam everywhere in the kitchen. I know he's feeling terrible. He meowed pitifully and use his head to knead against me. After 35mins, he finally stopped vomiting and I then carried him to the sofa where he rest and soon dozed off...

This morning, heard from Mr Lim he retained his breakfast well. Seeing no more vomiting. I stupidly gave him the medications only to cause him to have another episode of vomiting for 15mins. Now Im thinking it may be the medications that causing the vomiting and not the food he took. I feel so gulity for causing him to have to go through another episode of vomiting.

Hai... I don't think I'll continue with the medications. He's been prescript Diarrstope, Medazole and Trizine. Can anyone tell me if this will cause the symptoms as seen in Orange? Will see what the vet says. Just hope to see him get better soon.

Mummy, today I take care of Orange 哥哥 okie...

Orange is sick!

2008-02-12T00:31:00.000+08:00

Last saturday, few of Mr Lim's friend came and they ordered KFC. At the end of the day, 2 piece nugget and 3 piece chicken were leftover and we decided to store it in a plastic container and leave for dinner. Off we went out to buy things.

Came back open the door and immediately caught the faint smell of KFC. I knew something was wrong. As expected, Orange was caught red handed squatting on the kitchen floor enjoying a piece of the KFC chicken!!! Lala hiding somewhere... God knows how he managed to peel open the plastic cover off the container! with his mouth??

Not only that, we found the 2 nuggets missing as well... Don't even know if Lala ate it as well..

Anyway woke up on sun to find pile of vomitus at different part of the house. Again God knows who vomited?? Both cat appear active as normal its hard to tell... though we suspect its Orange. No photo were taken due to the grossly content...

Today I finally know who is the sick cat suffering from post illegal bludging. Orange was found having watery stool and looking lethergy. He had diarrhea x2. Hai poor Orange is not like his usual self today.

Again my heart aches seeing him in this state.. As usual Lala the inconsiderate brat keeps lureing him to play with her... Hah she gets a scolding from me and sulk one corner.

Lala sulking behind Orange and looking bored..

Mr Lim says he can hear Orange's stomach turning about inside... I guess Orange must be suffering from GE. I just hope he can get well soon in next two days

Tummy feels funny and I don't feel like playing

maybe tomorrow will be a better day...

Orange bro.. get well soon so we can tear the house down and keep mummy and daddy up the night okie... I'll wait for you..

Fishy business

2008-02-09T17:28:00.000+08:00

I was suppose to write put up this blog last month as usual... somehow forgotten about it until I start clearing my handphone. Went to try fish foot therapy with my best pal. These fishes are suppose to be able to eat off the dead skin on your foot. Just like what the pedicure does during exfoilation with their tool.

It was quite a scary experience at first if its your 1st time. It really feel tickish with the fishes nibbling on your foot. The fishes are sure hardworking, the whole school of them just crowd around your foot or any part of the leg that was surmerbed in the pool of water. It may look scary in the picture. Not a bad experience.

My foot feels not much difference before and after the fish treatment.. but of course the shop owner claimed will only get to see its effect after more treatment = to spend more $$..

I personally still prefer the foot exfoilation done during pedicure haha more effective. Perhaps next time if I should bring the little rascals there... Im sure they will be really excited..

Sand VS Pine

2008-01-24T17:10:00.000+08:00

After much constructive feedback (complain) from Mr Lim of the smell of the pine when mixed with the little rascals' urine, we decided to give cat sand a try. Bought one pack that comes in 8L to try. This sand clumps into a lump once contact with urine. The packaging looks really cut haha. It comes with lemon scent and it said to keep odour at bay with 9.99% dust free as stated on the pack. With anticipation, we poured the sand into the litter box while the little rascals await beside us.

Leaving up to its reputation for being adventerous, Orange decided to give the new litter scoop a sniff while Lala linger behind. Wasting no time in marking his territory, Orange walked into the litter box and does his business.

Lala finally realising that its harmless, comes out and wait outside the litter box. Impatiently wating for her turn and having to endure the wonderful hot fresh odour of Orange's output keke...

Mummy, Orange is taking his own sweet time! I can't stand the sight and smell... feeling giddy now somebody bring me the axe oil! gosh what did he eat men!! are u sure its lemon scented sure aren't smelling any lemon!

Lala: come out leh my turn my turn!!

Orange: what's the rush men! A man gotta freedom to answer his call of nature without you nagging away...

Great! its all his smell now... its like a mine field... must walk properly to avoid stepping on his smelling waste...

Ahh I found a spot here perfect...

Wooo... So great to be able to relieve myself.. holding my blabber for whole day for this moment has been worth it.. Hey what doing u? Are are u taking picture of me? (its really a great shot! did u see the jet of urine? Mr Lim says Im a pervert!)

Its been a few days since we started on the sand. Now we realise Orange is the messy toilet user... Boys will be boys.. He will be the one who scatters the sand everywhere outside the litter box as he comes out just like Mr Lim who... kaka... better stop my description here...

Its great not to hear Mr Lim constant nagging about the foul smell of wet pine. Changing the litterbox seems faster when compared to pine. However now the kitchen seems to be fill with a light stench of feaces smell at the moment smell has slowly radiate to living room... Also I do not like having the sand scattered all over the floor..

I personally still like the pine better as they don't get scattered so easily. Otherwise than having to endure the smell of the wet pine (not really a problem for me execpt u know who!) when changing, I don't smell anything when the little rascals feaces are left inside for long. Also find the pine able to control odour and does not smell anything when not changing it... Also I have a terrible thought that one day the little rascals might decide to use the clamped up sand (shape like ball) as a new toy to play around the house... horrors!

Now, Mr Lim starts to feel that the smell of wet pine is better than having the house fill with smell of feaces. Can't be having that kinda of smell when guest come to our house during CYN... Well, looks like its back to pine for us in the end.. As for the little rascals I guess it won't affect them much...

Orange the survivor!

2008-01-17T14:00:00.000+08:00

Hey more update of me again.. Heh heh... LOvE being the limelight.. especially when Im not even working hard to get it.. hai what can I say.. *they SiMpLy adore me...

(Pic taken today)

*Read that twice to ah sky hehe...

Orange went for his surgery to remove his metal plates and screws two days ago on the 15th. This time we had a really really hard time coaxing him into the carrier. Had to practically forced him into it. Guess he's finally linked the carrier with trips to clinic hence the fear and resistance. After a few words with the Dr Dennis... I left orange in the hospital with a heavy heart.

Surgery won't be so invasive as compared to the previous one. Another incision will be made, fur will be shave again. Reliving of the scary experience once again. By 8pm that evening we brought a groggy but alert orange home. On the way home in the car, Orange started to get really restless kept using his head to bang against the metal door of the carrier. Fearing he will hurt himself, I had no choice but to let him out and carry him on my lap. He looking frantically at the interior of the car environment and at the same time distracted by the moving motor vehicles outside.

As usual, we arrived home with our princess Lala not aware that her bro orange had just came back from surgery. She hid under the table looked wearily at Orange who was walked wobbly towards the living room. She did what she does always when felt threaten~ Hiss... then ran away... Its all back to square one.. I was telling Mr Lim. Just have to isolate Orange in a room for few days.

Lucky its not as bad as we predicted. This time our Lala managed to remember the scent of Orange and by next day, they are back to normal. Orange was also surprisingly was walking, running and standing on two hind legs as per normal. Its as if he didn't go through the surgery. My best pal who came to our house yesterday didn't even realise he had gone through the surgery the day before! I must say their healing ability is simply amazing! If only humans have such healing ability, we'll be able to shorten the hospitalization stay and not face shortage of bed so often...

Exhausted Orange asleep on one of his favourite spot the next day after the surgery.

Many thanks to Dr Dennis from mount pleasant animal hospital for his excellent surgical skill and patience with my many many questions.

He even remembered to returned me the metal plates and screws like I requested. I shall keep them as remembrance for the pain and suffering Orange had gone through due to our negligence.

Today was such a sunny day. The little rascals are sleeping together as Im typing this blog. It rare to catch them sleeping together and I waste no time in capturing it!

Seeing them snoozing away side by side was a rare sight on a hot sunny afternoon by the window... Perfect bonding for the little rascals.. Tender sweet moment for me to remember why I love them!
Seems like our Princess Lala also has a soft spot for her brother not all the usual spoil brat... She doesn't seems to mind Orange taking advantage of her by placing his leg on her body. Three cheers for Lala... Yeah!!

Orange and Lala cuddled onto Sally the basket, dozing off..

Oh ya, take a closer look at Sally the basket.. condition not getting better this days.. and the little rascal are sure working hard on it..

Orange update so far...

2008-01-08T00:08:00.000+08:00

Orange's on my lap tonight as Im typing out my blog... where is Lala aka the manja princess u might be thinking... Princess Lala currently sitting comfortably beside Mr Lim on the bed..purring as Mr Lim puts his fingers to good exercise haha if you know what I mean....

Orange's wound has healed nicely. Managed to save few $ by removing the staples on my own. Orange was such a good boy sitting there nicely for me to remove them... As the wound healed, I start to feel that the metal plate getting more prominent. My fear came true after a repeated xray during the 2nd review

Bought Orange for his 2nd review on the 29th dec. Here inside the carrier while waiting the the vet, I bet Orange was reminiscing what happened to him that day... He looked nervous

This was the xray taken after the surgery. You can see the metal plate screwed onto the Lt pelvic bone to stabilise the fracture.

And this was the xray taken during the 2nd review last week. You can see the top part of the metal plate has become detached from the pelvic bone. The 1st screw had loosen completely followed by soon to be 2nd screw...

This was my fear. The prominent part was due to the loosening of the metal plate and screw. The vet commented that Orange will have to go for another surgery to remove the whole metal plate. Loose metal plate will cause friction and perhaps pain when moving joint so its best to remove.

My heart ache for Orange having to go through another surgery again. Only want the best for him therefore this 2nd surgery is inevitable. Now that his fur are slowly growing out covering the wound my heart sank as I know that in a week's time they would be shave off and he's gonna come home with a new scar. At least this time he will be able to come back on the same day of the surgery.. Gonna have to give him TLC when he comes back.

Orange Orange my little warrior, handsome prince with bright yellow eyes... Mummy will be there with you don't you worry okie..

Lala, Lala, don't you be jealous of Orange okie.. Mummy loves you too... so you must be nice girl okie don't be so playful and disturb him when he comes back...

Meow... I'll try lor... sayang 1st can...

Spectulation on how Orange climbed out.. Lesson to be learnt

2007-12-28T12:04:00.001+08:00

Was really surprise by the comments some of you left behind... Never thought my blog will be read by others. On behalf of Orange I thank you all for your kind comments. One of the blogger-Veganmeow is right. Its a good idea to share with others how my window was meshed up so that other's can learn from my mistake..

This was how my window was meshed up for the past 1 year. You can see that the top of the grill was not covered. This kinda mesh can be purchase at any pet shop. Only comes in fix roll..

That morning Orange must had climbed over the meshed up window and out from the top of the loop that wasn't meshed up. Since he wasn't able to get a footing on the other side of the ledge. He fell.

After what happened to Orange, Mr Lim and I went out all the way to prevent such a incident from happening. We decided to buy a metal fence. We took the measurement of the whole window grill and bought them at one of the shop in Kelantan lane. It was expensive since we decided to choose a stainless steel one. But at least we don't have to worry about it getting rusty due to rain or moisture.

This is how window is being meshed up now with the stainless steel fence. Its quite simple. Only need to use cable tie to secure it.

Though its expensive but I definitely feel its way better than the previous mesh. Below is a summary of the pros and cons...

Pros

Stainless steel, won't get rust
Bigger holes provide better ventilation and light (yet little rascals won't be able to squeeze out)
Can be cut to size for better fit. Neater than the mesh which only comes in fix roll.

Cons

Expensive
Heavy

Hope today's blog will be a good resource for further or current cat owners. Anyone with other kinda mesh share with me okie! Will update on Orange's statue again next round...

Mummy Im getting better!

2007-12-14T14:39:00.001+08:00

Orange looking macho knowing he's going to have his photo taken.

Sitting up for another pose and using his front paw to cover his belly due to loss of fur... *shy*

Sorry mummy know Im not suppose to climb... oops touchy sensitive word nowadays... I simply couldn't resist sleeping in this box... just have to climb up and sleep inside. ZzzZzz...

Mummy did you take a ruler and measure how long is it? I think I can removed the staples on my own leh.. then you can save a trip and money lo keke rite?

Cheeky Orange never fails to terrify Lala knowing now she's not use to his scent. Seeing Lala inside the wardrobe. That fellow purposely sit himself comfortably on the mat blocking Lala's exit!

Poor Lala start to panic at the sight of her "familiar yet unfamiliar enemy"

Lala frantically tries to escape past Orange while keeping her eyes on Orange. Orange on the other hand, remains aloof and gonk-out...

See see... beautiful daisy with heart-shaped get well soon attached. From Mummy's best pal Jo... who came to our house specially to visit me!! Did you know my heart race whenever I see her? She's so beautiful... keke.. looking at mei niu sure keeps the blues away for injured cat like me ;P

Flower ah for me is it?

Are you sure its for him not for me? what's a big boy doing with flower? so gay...

Feels so nice to be shower with love from mummy and daddy and mummy's sister and of course mummy's best pal... Flower smell nice and gonna sit close to it so Lala can't get a sniff of it haha...

Irony.. sad unfortunate incident

2007-12-14T14:12:00.000+08:00

It took me days before I finally have the courage to type down this blog today. Was afraid to type this blog as I feared people might think or start to question my capability to care for my cats. Or worse... things might blown out of proportion.

My previous blog was about "everybody gets high" seems like the cat who got the highest was Orange. One morning while we were sleeping, he decided to be adventurous. He climbed over the meshed window and out of the top of the ledge that wasn't meshed. He fell straight down from the 6th storey. Woke up can't find him anywhere in the house. With Lala staring at the window meowing away, Mr Lim knew something was not right.

Orange was found sitting on the ground floor with small pool of blood. He was still conscious and alert. But breathing really fast.

Anyway to cut a long story short..
Was send to the emergency vet hospital
Found to have pneumothorax and fractured pelvis
Admitted for 1 week
Went through surgery for placement of metal plate for the fractured pelvis.

It has been a week since Orange came back from the hospital. Poor Lala was meowing and howling during the absence of Orange. Now that he's back, she couldn't recognise him due to a different scent. Lala was hissing at orange and fighting for our attention even more. Its better now... Lala is more use to him but I wonder if she remember he's the Orange she used to snuggle with... As for Orange, he maintain his cool and calm posture whenever Lala hiss. There is not a hint of fear when he walked into the same room with Lala or sit on his favourite spot. I guess it just take time for Lala to be more settle down with Orange.

Yes it was really a fortunate thing that Orange survived the fall. He's a really strong and brave boy.. Stronger than I thought. He's now walking as per normal and I know he will get stronger and better as days gone by. His staples will be removed soon this weekend. As time gone by his fur will soon be able to cover up the scars.

Yet this shall be a painful memory to stay with me for life. It was a painful price for us to learn this lesson. We had been having the window meshed up like that for the past 1 year and nothing had happened. We had thought it was enough. We would never expect Orange to climb over the mesh that morning. Anyway to all cat owner if you happen to bring this blog and you haven't mesh up your window or if its not properly mesh up please do so immediately...

The reason why I decided to write this blog cause It just don't seem right to omit this event and carry on writing my blog as if nothing had happened to them. To those who are reading this blog, perhaps you might think we are irresponsible. Ya I admitted we were. Everyone learn from their mistake and a 2nd chance. I am glad God has given me a 2nd chance to make things right for Orange...

Everybody gets HiGh...

2007-11-29T10:11:00.000+08:00

It seems like everybody is getting high these days. Went back to my mother's house few days ago. Reached the front door and began to call out to my father to open the door. Afar came the tingling sound of the liong liong... Yeah along came my ah sky strolling towards me as a way of greeting! He sat in front of the gate staring at me and gave me a ~Meow... Hehe my sudden urge to go toilet to relieve my bladder gone... smitten by him... Never thought he will still remember to welcome me this way again...

The Previous time I went back home... Ah sky was angry with me. Perhaps he was upset I didn't visit him for a long time (vacation mah). So angry he was, he gave the the cold shoulder, refusing to see the presents I bought for him all the way from Japan. Ran and hid underneath the bed the whole day! Next time should take a pic of him with the gift I bought...

Nowadays been hearing my sister mentioning that Ah sky has a new hobby. I swear if he has a life insurance policy, the premium is sure to increase. He's taken a keen interest in climbing high. Perhaps he find it less challenging staring at the bird bird or doing his night guard duty watching out for lizards or cockroaches... as requested by my father.

According to my sister, they would suddenly find ah Sky MIA* then started to search for him... Sensing that he's being searched, he gave a ~meow from his new found favourite spot... he would stayed put in that favourite spot and start to panic when he wants to come down since its too high... ended up begging to be rescued by my sister! Hai... talk about being challenging :P

This is my sister's wardrobe. Just a ordinary one with few junk dumped on top of it. An ordinary furniture that became the adventure for ah sky for that day. Anyway can you spot him?

Yup he climbed up the wardrobe and stayed up there looking at us. His way of telling us: Nah Nah Ni boo boo.. you cannot catch me... My sister said to ignore him as he will beg for us to save him when he wants to come down. Of course I seize this opportunity to take photo since its not everyday I see him in such an act...

~Meow are you taking picture of me? come.. come closer so you can see where I am.. Look its such a chicken paw climbing up here.. Don't ask me how its a secret... Not gonna let Orange and Lala know the trick... (Bet u gonna tell them if I tell ya)

Love the space here... Must make use of this small corner here and mark it my territory before mama start to put more junk up here... Airy and quiet but a bit hard to lie down... Next time must try to bring my favourite mattress up here as well keke.. Oh ya do remember to mention to Orange and Lala that I climbed up the wardrobe leh... I bet I beat their record yeah yeah.. Im the champion!

Ah sky's not the only one polishing his climbing skill.. perhaps there's a upcoming climbing competition and they are practicing hard... knowing their act will be mention in this blog.. this way they can get to see who's the winner...

Lala: Mummy u see I climb up so high can win Big bro sky anot ah?

Mummy: Ah sky climbed up the wardrobe leh yours only fridge how can fight?

Lala: ah like that still not high enough? seems very high to me leh... err... I feel giddy already must come down already...

Lala: Oops how to come down help help mummy... Orangy a little help here pleeasee...

Orange(lying on the kitchen floor): Been there done that... Gave a lazy yawn... What a copycat! Can you try something new and not follow in my paw step?? Im gonna take my cat nap.

What climbing competition? So boring... How about we compete on who can eat the fastest haha I sure win.. or who has the longest tail.. Sky bro sure loose... Wah hahaha... erm... my tail longer than Lala rite? hmmm where's the ruler?

No parents days ahead Yipee...

2007-11-05T00:08:00.000+08:00

Tonight the little rascals had a sumptuous dinner. Ocean fish wet food with one spoonful of biscuit each. Look at the both of them... busy enjoying their meal to be bothered with me..

Orange as usual finish his meal the 1st.

While our Princess Lala munched on her dinner gracefully while keeping an eye on his big bro...
Orange seen here eyeing after Lala dish tray hopeful for a second helping... Nah Nah ni boo boo... I've still have you have none sing along our Princess Lala...

Dish tray was wiped clean with their tongue within 5mins... Lala: Don't have to check already lah u think im so dumb to leave some scraps for you meh... However our Orange is still full of hopes, inspects Lala's dish tray... Dismayed he was to find it was as clean as his!

Dinner was good tonight as mummy and daddy are going away for the holidays... Gonna miss the little rascals lots.. sob sob... Yup Im going to look for Totoro... No.. not to go fishing with him so I can bring home for you to eat Orange... (Orange sulks and walk away...) Totoro is a giant leong mao... A japanese animation that I love alot... Hopefully will be able to take pic of the great great Totoro...

Gonna weight you both when im back keke...

Beautiful Day it was...

2007-10-29T00:42:00.001+08:00

Beautiful day it was today so glad its already my post night off... Or rather yesterday keke... Looked out of the window and this was what I saw...Look at the beautiful blue sky... see that streak of cloud arch across the sky... its as if a plane just flew past leaving trail of its mark behind... I thought of my Ah Sky and I wonder if he was enjoyed the view like I did...
Princess Lala and Orange was up and early.. Looks that they are also enjoying the wonderful view as well!

Our Princess Lala sitting by the platform looking demure enjoying the view like me... and grooming herself as usual...

Hmmm.. Orange seen standing proud staring to the sky as well... Plotting a way to climb out of the window for a better view perhaps?

Naughty Orange strike again!

2007-10-29T00:22:00.000+08:00

Looks like Orange is really dying for his chance to be mention in the blog... Therefore he felt that the instant way to immediate fame is to anger mummy!

Somehow I had brought home the remaining 2 coconut bun from my work place. God knows how come I've put them in my bag when I have a locker. Left the bun in a plastic bag, tied a knot and put it in my bag. Went off to LalaLand..

Woke up and found this on the floor...

As usual nobody saw what happen but whoever ate the bun was sure clever! Look closely at the picture again and you'll notice the most of the coconut filing had been eaten up! My gut feeling tells me its Orange. How did I know it was Orange?

Apparently the next day, he had a mild case of diarrhea. the fellow LS* and Mr Lim complained to me as he was the one who cleared up the litter box haha...

Well, what can I say, Orange sure gets his way. Not only he gets today's fame to the blog and also enjoyed a sumptuous coconut snack. I bet he even thinks LS was worth it all...

*Lao Sai (Hokkein for diarrhea)

Qiang Qiang MTV for all to see

2007-10-17T00:33:00.000+08:00

Yeah 3 cheers to the genius Mr Lim who helped me upload the MTV after much nagging from the sotong me...

Moments to share and ponder on

2007-10-16T15:54:00.000+08:00

It's great to see the comments left by you all who read my blog. Thank Jo, now i know there's actually a name for that haha... and to ans your question, Yes I do babble silly stuff to Lala when I cuddle her like that.... haha perhaps Lala brings the maternal instinct in me...

As usual our princess Lala has fallen asleep on my lap now as Im typing out this blog. This spoiled brat seems to love taking advantage of me whenever Im using the pc or reading my book on the sofa.

I have a very good friend who is also a cat lover like me. She has a cat (ah moon) and a rabbit (Da xiong). It was a funny combination~ cat+rabbit. I am always amused with the story she told me of the both of them. Like how ah moon loves to pounce on poor da xiong or how da xiong would drink from ah moon's dishwater resulting in the latter having to search for water source in the toilet.. despite all these they are still happily cohabiting in a cosy house...

Sadly da xiong passed away due to old age sometime this yr or last yr (sorry can't rem clearly)... Got to hear from my friend when I met her up recently. Da xiong was found in the kitchen by her brother. Poor ah moon looked solemnly at Da xiong. It was heartbreaking hearing her describe the days after da xiong is gone. Poor ah moon linger around the kitchen sitting there staring into space as if moaning for the loss of a long time friend. Though I was not a rabbit lover, hearing my friend recall the event brings tears to my eyes. I could imagine the loneliness ah moon felt having to lose a friend and also the pain my friend has to go through for the lost of her dear rabbit.

I guess this is something all pet owner dread most. The day our pets leave us for the kingdom of heaven and the living would have to adapt to the one gone... I simply could not imagine what my live would be should this day comes. Yet it is inevitable. Recently S.H.E Ella sung a song over the loss of her dog Qiang Qiang. In the song, she recalls of how Qiang Qiang loved to be stroke over the ears and always asking her to play ball. She thanked her dog the years of company and hopes that her dog will remember her and quickly find his way to Heaven. I cried when I heard it. Ya hard to believe the usual me who hardly cry in front of soppy drama actually shed tear for this song... I guess it remind me of Da xiong and Ah moon. Just like what the song says. They will always be living in our memories..

Photo taken with courtesy from Jo

Well, toady's blog is specially dedicated to Da Xiong~ May you be happy whenever you are... You will live in the memories of those who misses you dearly... Ah moon included Im sure...

Simple steps to make a contented cat

2007-10-09T13:41:00.000+08:00

Materials required are as follows...

A quilt blanket folded into a triangular shape

A super duper 100% manja cat!

Place the super duper 100% manja cat onto the centre of the blanket. Make sure tail is nicely tuck in line with the couture of the body. Not a major issue for short tail cat though.. (A lot of times this action is not require as super duper 100% manja cats voluntarily crawl onto the blanket.)

Fold the bottom pointed part of the triangle upwards to start the wrapping as shown in the pic.

Fold the left side of the pointed triangle over the to right side. Take note of the head. Do not cover it. Tuck the ends inwards the cat's body. Do the same for the right side.

And viola...

You've got a nicely wrapped up cat! Word of cautious: super duper 100% manja cat will start exhibiting uncontrollable vibrations.

And there you have... a very contented and happy cat drifting to LalaLand anything soon.

Calafare for today... Orange the Kapok Samy :-P

Ehh... today never talk about me ah? When's my turn ah?

Sally the basket complains

2007-09-22T09:25:00.000+08:00

My name is Sally. I was made to be a basket meant for pet use. Mummy and daddy bought me from Ikea cause I was cheap. I was placed strategically by the window in the master bedroom. Nice view there with sunlight shinning at every part of my body.

Got to know little orange 1st. Look at that boy... he used to spent his afternoon nap with me in his young days. Nowadays he hardly come by....

Ever since princess Lala came along... Life has been miserable...Look at me now. (Hysterical crying)Sob Sob Sob... Look at the woven basket bits on the floor. Somebody been abusing me!!

Ya that's her Im talking about! Small and sweet looking on the outside but full of mischievous thoughts on the inside. She would spent her afternoon sitting on me and start to chew happily as if Im one of her treats.... Mummy thought she was going through the "teething phrase" Ha!! As if!! They ignore it... Overheard a conversation b/w mummy and daddy once:

Daddy:"Aiya buy this basket for them see they keep bitting it. make the floor so messy!

Mummy: Aiya what to do? Since bed is theirs they are free to do what they want with it.

Can you believe it! I was crying buckets of wooden chips hearing that! No mention of how heartache the rascals are damaging me! Worse they are only concern my spare parts are messing up the place. Boo hoo...

Lala would act all sweet and nice towards me when Mummy and Daddy are staring at her. Pretending to clean herself and curl up... If only they know how I feel... What can I do? Can anyone save me from further destruction?

Miserable Sally...

Careless me = disasterous consequences

2007-09-03T11:00:00.001+08:00

Monday morning 0700hrs. This was the scene that greeted Mr Lim as he walked towards the kitchen. In case those of you who can't figure out the picture. Its actually loose rice grain scattered nicely all over the floor. Like the leftover rice grain in a warehouse. Only this is not the case. I was the cause of the incident. Had forgotten to put the packet of rice grain into the cabinet yesterday. Luckily I was not reprimanded by Mr Lim strongly as he was busy preparing to go to work and I have instantly offered my service to clear up the mess stat.

So who was the culprit?? Was it Orange on the Left or Lala?? Only thing certain was crime was definitely done while the both of us were sound asleep! Both maintained a safe perimeter from the crime scene not wanting to have anything to do with it... as if proclaiming their innocent.

Had to use my bare hands to gather all the rice grain together... my mind suddenly drifted to the importance of rice and how we should not waste them... haha... meanwhile Lala decided toapproached with cautious towards me trying to kepok if there's anything to help out with (or play). Gave her a "can melt an ice berg on a summer's day" look and she back off immediately.

Smart Orange acted aloof sitting far one corner pretending to look elsewhere when I look at his directions

While I was cleaning up the mess, grumpy Mr Lim carried on with his routine and grumbling away:

"The two of you really very naughty

Lala must be the culprit, must be her... always like to bite things

when will she grow up

must discipline her properly!

making people doing extra work... see lah mummy have to clear up the mess

bet you all had disco yesterday night.

Gonna lock you up in the room when I come back in the evening."

This was the packet of rice grain under their their paws and teeth...

No wonder the both of them seems so quiet now... sleeping. Perhaps Mr Lim is right. They did have a disco last night. Really played hard...ZzzzZzzz

Grrr... (~)

2007-08-30T13:51:00.000+08:00

Mummy was browsing through the web page clicking between the old blog and new one trying to transfer the blogs and pics... me got sleepy watching her do that Zzz.. after several attempts she is still unable to transfer the pics to this new blog... she finally gave up after her stomach starts complaining.... those interested in her old blog can go to www.sootykatz.spaces.live.com
Oh ya, one thing good about this new blog is that it comes with a spelling check... hehe no more embarrassing mistake for her and no more having her ah jie to correct after her...cheers!

Moving on..

2007-08-30T12:53:00.000+08:00

Hi all, my mummy decided to move all her stuff to this new blog... stay till for more blogs to come. heehee... she's quite slow still trying to figure out the functions.. be patient..
