Utterly Us

The model with the attitude

2011-12-20T13:02:00.003+08:00

Something cold yet yummy

2011-12-16T12:55:00.001+08:00

This is really NICE!!!

Must try. We can vouch for its palatableness because we have tasted it. :)

Who will win?

2011-12-11T22:36:00.009+08:00

One keeps barking to get attention while the other one simply ignores the request.

So, who will win eventually?

The dog who likes to wear clothes

2011-12-04T18:15:00.000+08:00

Frankie is quite a vain dog.

Whenever MM takes out the box of our clothes, he will sit up and look intently at the box.

Whenever MM put a top over him, he will wear it without any struggle.

And he will be ALL SMILES whoever wants to take a picture of him.

See?

Her childhood idols

2011-12-01T17:33:00.005+08:00

MM told us those big and tall characters in colourful (should be silly, in my humble opinion) costumes were some of her idols from "Sesame Street", an American children's television series that was shown during her childhood days. Till today, these characters are still very popular with kids and their parents!

Well, I guess as long as something is good, it will never be forgotten. Ok, that reminds me. I shall ask the humans in the family whether they will remember the good Frankie Boy always. :)

It's Treat Treat Time!

2011-11-30T23:02:00.000+08:00

Nothing can get Wynn Wynn's attention when she's enjoying her dehydrated treats.

And don't expect her to share voluntarily too.

Finally a good sign!

2011-11-28T20:47:00.006+08:00

While you are wondering why Frankie looks so scrawny in this picture, to tell you a fact, he has actually and finally put on weight (300g)! According to his review results at ARC today and as compared to the previous test results, Frankie has hit 4kg mark (from 3.7kg) and his thyroxine level is finally within the normal (healthy) range!

Thyroxine is a hormone that is produced and secreted by the thyroid gland which is measured to determine thyroid function. The thyroid gland controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones. In Frankie's case, he is having an underproduction of thyroid hormones and that may have occurred as a result of iodine deficiency (which is very unlikely because Frankie has always been fed with good food with balanced nutrients), or congenital hypothyroidism (but there is no clear evidence). With insufficient thyroxine hormones, that should explain Frankie's abnormal weight reduction, bowel movements, tiredness and baldness in the past three years. In a way, his skin condition has evolved to chronic unresolved inflammation and allergies.

It seems like Dr Lee has given Frankie the correct diagnosis this time. The treatment is aimed at balancing all Frankie's hormones (thyroid, sex hormone, cortisol) with the necessary supplementation. According to Dr Lee, sex hormones are linked with thyroid adrenal gland hormones and every other hormone in the body. Not only he has to be put on iodine supplement to ensure no thyroid deficiency, Frankie has also be given Laurabolin injection to build up muscles and testosterone. Together with the current Bioreasonance Therapy treatment, MM hopes that Frankie is really going to live better and happier soon.

Jia you, Frankie Boy! We are behind you all the way! :)

The lazy adidog

2011-11-25T20:51:00.000+08:00

That's what Wynn Wynn always does, especially after her breakfast and dinner.

Hmm... does she seem to be rounder recently? Someone ought to tell her that lazing too much will definitely be adding inches around the waist.

Is she Princess Froggy?

2011-11-18T22:19:00.000+08:00

At times, when Wynn Wynn is sleeping, she will "croak" out of the sudden!

Isn't that amazing?

We have been actually wondering whether Wynn Wynn is keeping a frog in her body, or she herself is actually a Frog Princess!

As long as there is no answer to Wynn Wynn's peculiar sleeping behaviour, the mystery shall remain.

The Snow Fungus Thief

2011-11-13T21:55:00.003+08:00

When Wynn Wynn is not within our sight in the house, that will mean she's at one place, i.e. the kitchen. And we are so RIGHT!

Guess what she has done to the new packet of snow fungus?

With that, Wynn Wynn is proclaimed by the family as the "Snow Fungus Thief"!

We know that snow fungus will expand in the water. Hmm... if Wynn Wynn drinks water later, will her tummy bloat like a balloon? That's so unimaginable for Wynn Wynn's tummy is already very round now. :P

Conspiracy?

2011-11-11T11:11:00.007+08:00

Wynn Wynn: So, what do you think of my idea? Shall we do it?

Frankie: Are you sure this is safe-proof? I don't think the humans are that stupid lor. If we fail, we may end up being punished and cannot have dinner!

Wynn Wynn: HUH?!?!!! No dinner! I don't want! Ok, then we better don't do it. Food is very important leh... we better don't put ourselves at that RISK.

Frankie: .......

A beautiful day

2011-11-07T12:09:00.000+08:00

An exceptionally beautiful day we have today!

Snoring all the way

2011-11-05T21:48:00.000+08:00

Happy Halloween

2011-10-31T21:08:00.000+08:00

Tired all the way

2011-10-28T21:08:00.004+08:00

Lately, Frankie seems to be very tired.

Tonight he's caught dozing off again, during his BICOM treatment session:

When he's standing up...

When he's lying down...

In the midst of receiving his treatment...

Even I was tired too (for waiting Frankie)!

After we had reached home, Frankie was totally knocked out!

More photos from the lunch party with Rosina

2011-10-27T00:24:00.002+08:00

Smiling Wynn Wynn...

... all the way! :))

Lost in his thoughts...

Hey, is that poo on MM's head?

So boring... no cute babe around...

Let me be your handsome model then! :D

And a BIG thank you to Zeus Communications for the lovely snapshots of Frankie & Wynn. :))

Family gathering at Mellben Seafood

2011-10-26T21:09:00.005+08:00

As usual, Wynn Wynn and I were excluded because pets are not allowed in the restaurants/eating places in Singapore. That's quite sad. The country is really not very pet-friendly. Perhaps it's high time we should have a pet cafe that sells seafood too!

The humans were all praises for the food. Though we know it's not their fault, but how could they be so happy and satisfactory in front of us?!?!! Let's hope they would gain pounds from these rich food!

*evil grins*

Meeting Rosina, the renowned Animal Communicator

2011-10-22T23:47:00.007+08:00

MM brought Wynn Wynn and I to meet a special guest at a lunch party hosted by Zeus Communications. She is Rosina, a renowned Animal Communicator from Hong Kong.

MM hoped to find out about our thinking and feelings through Rosina. Though the consultation session was brief, it was an truly eye-opener for all of us, especially the humans! In fact, it was a bonding time that took human-animal understanding and empathy to another level. Through Rosina, MM saw the world through our perspective and thus able to understand our behaviours better.

Whether this is a falsehood or truth, MM decided to take our thoughts and feelings into serious consideration. She only wished that Wynn Wynn and I would live happily, and my health condition would improve greatly. Well, let's the two-legged and the four-legged work hard together to realise these goals! :)

Wynn Wynn: Where are we going? Can't I walk by myself?

Many doggies and their owners at the lunch party (Ericssion Pet Farm)

A super excited Wynn Wynn...

Another excited Frankie who's not interested in taking pictures

Aren't they adorable?

As usual, only Wynn Wynn likes to make new friends!

Shhh, a consultation session's going on...

What's caught Frankie's attention?

A Christmas cake for the doggies!

Isn't that a bit early for Christmas celebration?

Happy 8th Birthday to Wynn Wynn!

2011-10-19T23:31:00.005+08:00

From a little timid to a little terror today...

We hope you are happy to stay with us in the past 6 years and definitely,
many more good years to come!

Happy 8th Birthday to you, our dearest Wynn Wynn Girl!!

She's just not into fashion

2011-10-17T23:44:00.001+08:00

The checkup

2011-10-11T22:05:00.002+08:00

After reading an article by Dr Jean-Paul Ly about an immune or hormonal issue (i.e. "endocrine-immune dysfunction") which affects a dog's ability to handle stress, MM decided to send Frankie for such a checkup. As my left ear was quite inflammed due to an unknown infection, I was also being send down to ARC for a diagnosis. But as Dr Ly was not available, MM made an appointment for us with Dr Ly's "disciple", Dr Lee, who was also approachable and professional, yet able to explain things clearly and slowly to MM, who always have a problem with those unknown medical terms.

In order to help her to recap what had been told and advised by Dr Lee, MM interpreted the diagnosis and results for her own understanding and future reference:

Wynn Wynn's condition:
a) Flaky skin around the paws area; Scratchy especially on the ears.
b) A lump was found at the back; Seemed to be growing and a removal surgery should be considered.
c) Some decayed teeth were detected.

Diagnosis for Wynn Wynn's condition:

Adaptamax herbal supplement = To combat stress (maybe that's the reason for the skin infection since there's no change in food and environment).
Dexamed, hepavite (To soothe the liver from the impact of Dexamed) and Zymox shampoo for clearing flaky dead skins due to the infection.
Betamox LA and Dexafort injections = To combat bacteria infection and anti inflammatory.
Blood test = Overall good health for the body organs and system.
Additional advice = To apply cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil on the infected skin areas after bath. No blow-drying. Also to consider to remove the lump and rotten teeth under light sedation and local anesthetic.
Weight = About 5.4kg

Frankie's condition:
a) Kept chewing paws; Scratchy especially around the muzzle area.
b) Need to perform hormones checkup.
c) No allergic test to be done as that had been completed by BRT. Frankie is currently eating food and using shampoo that were proven to be positive in the BRT's allergic test.

Diagnosis for Frankie's condition:

Laurabolin injection (steroid based) = To build up muscles and increase testosterone ( lasts 6 months).
Eltroxin medication = To produce thyroid hormones.
Lugol's iodine supplement = To replenish iodine deficiency (which is needed to produce thyroid hormones).
Testosterone Chrysin cream = To increase testosterone.
Blood test = Overall good health for the body organs except for low thyroid level. No parasite/mites though.
Additional advice = To use dry cotton wool to clean ears, lastly with apple cider vinegar to create an environment that is not conducive for yeast growth. Note: The injection and medication are applied to help Frankie to put on weight.
Weight = About 3.7kg
Next review: One month later.

A new way to stop his bark

2011-10-09T22:36:00.001+08:00

*Ouch*

No, the scrunchie is not hurting my muzzle, neither it is hurting my nose.

It's my ego.

It has been bruised. :(

Getting more relaxed

2011-10-07T22:49:00.002+08:00

Finally, he's getting to be more relaxed at his today's BICOM Bioresonance therapy session.

No more standing and sitting ...

But he will still give you the "Are-we-going-home-soon" expression at times when he gets bored.

Learn to be more patient, Frankie Boy.

She Dobby

2011-10-05T22:22:00.004+08:00

It's really nice of Auntie Brenda to share with me her favourite tee.

But then I wouldn't want to end up looking like an elf! Yeah, MM said my new fashion remind her of "Dobby", the house elf saved by Harry Potter.

*OMG*

Hmm... I thought I look more like a seal instead.

And I would love to be a dangerous one that scares the humans!

What do you think of my idea? :)

His moment of pondering

2011-10-02T22:08:00.000+08:00

MM: What's on your mind, Kiekie?

Kie: Huh?

Kie: There's nothing lah...

Kie: Life's still good! Woof woof!!

She is a sweet robber

2011-09-27T22:21:00.008+08:00

No, we are not praising Wynn Wynn.

After seeing how the humans had enjoyed munching the sweets and detecting the sweet smell via her keen nose, Wynn Wynn tried all ways to lay her paws on the box of sweetness. She was very persistent!

Well, the picture will tell her unrelenting side better than words.

But too bad, she did not succeed in her attempts.

Sometimes, determination alone does not assure success. :(

Dozing off

2011-09-25T21:01:00.005+08:00

Frankie is extremely tired.

He simply just wants to lie down and put his feet up.

Even if he's being carried, he still can't resist the lure of the "sleepy bugs". Haha!

The most patient patient

2011-09-24T19:56:00.038+08:00

Frankie Boy was being commended as the most PATIENT patient today!

Err, that means he is the most accommodating yet unimpressed patient that the therapist has ever seen so far. Simply to say, Frankie will only stand and sit (when he's tired from standing) throughout the hour of therapy session. Never there's once he will lie down or doze off.

Feeling bored...

When can I leave this room?

Well, MM and I think that is quite an unusual description of Frankie's personality. But come to think of, other than being barkish to neighbours and strangers when he's kept inside the house, Frankie is in fact quite a patient boy.

He will wait patiently for the humans to get his meal ready.

He will wait patiently for the humans to share their food with him.

He will wait patiently for his turn to bathe (he always takes "a nap" before his bath).
He will sit or lie down patiently while MM is grooming him.
He will endure patiently when MM is brushing his teeth (NO COOPERATION = SCOLDING).

He will wait patiently for his walk.
He will complete his walk patiently by pee-ing at every tree and every bush that he comes across.
He will complete rounds patiently to push out his poo for the day. *giddy*
He will wait patiently for a chance to win (BITE!) me at play time!

He will wait patiently for MM to return from work/holiday trips.

He will wait patiently for neighbours to come home so that he finally has the chance of the day to bark at them!

Well, that's our Frankie Boy. :))

There goes her "curtain"

2011-09-21T21:10:00.000+08:00

Can you spot the difference in Wynn Wynn?

Before

After

Yes, her little "fan-shaped curtain" above her nose has been removed (i.e. trimmed).

Now her eyes look like two big longans!

The result

2011-09-18T21:04:00.006+08:00

After going through the therapy treatment for almost three months, MM feels there's a slight improvement in Frankie's health condition.

Do you think so too?

A less-reddish Frankie with his new goatee :D

A boring yet yummy mid-autumn festival

2011-09-12T21:10:00.007+08:00

Let's forget about the myth behind Mid-Autumn Festival and ignore the disappointment from the Moon's absence (due to the hazy night), we shall enjoy the exquisitely tasty snow-skin mooncakes that are available in myriad flavours...

and a new "Moon" that adds spark to the festive mood!

P/S: All thanks to our Saviour Wynn Wynn. Haha!

Last but not least,

When it comes to bathing time

2011-09-11T21:52:00.003+08:00

Frankie will "doze off" immediately!

And no matter what you do to him, he will still remain in his "dreamland"...

Isn't he amazing?

Indeed.

Goodbye to Xiaohei

2011-09-09T13:24:00.007+08:00

Our lil' Yorkshire Terrier friend

[ Mar 2006 - Sep 2011]

Happy 46th Birthday to Singapore!!

2011-08-09T20:44:00.002+08:00

The aunties bought Frankie and I new bandanas from a charity sale.

Well, it really feels good when we can have presents and yet rendering a little help for our fellow furry friends. Every bandana bought will be contributed to the food fund of the street dogs.

At the same time, we are celebrating our dearest country's birthday!

Happy 46th Birthday, Singapore!!!

We have fun and we hope you do too. :))

A new resolution?

2011-08-02T20:31:00.002+08:00

Is Wynn Wynn having a new resolution?

Could it be shedding some fats? Or to become rounder?!! :p

Nevertheless, I wish her success.

It's not easy to see her being so determined and focused. Keke!!

My new friend

2011-07-30T21:31:00.003+08:00

Every Saturday, while Frankie is having his therapy treatment at the BRT Centre, I will also tag along to have my "emotional therapy" session. Well, to be specifically, I'm actually going around without my leash to poke my nose into others' doings, as well as making new friends.

That's how I get to know Sushi, a nine years old male Shih-tzu who is currently suffering from cancer.

The humans said we look alike. Do we?

Sushi looks lonely...

Who are you waiting for, Sushi?

Come, let's play!

Don't be sad, We are friends! I will come every week to play with you.

Ganbatte, Sushi Boy!!

Presents!!

2011-07-22T20:03:00.011+08:00

MM is finally back from her retreat!

And she bought Wynn Wynn and I many presents! ~wowww~

Among the "loot", our presents are the biggest and also the smallest (i.e. the beds, stuffed toys and clothes). But they are only about 10% of the "loot". What are the remaining 90%?

Well...

These are the overall "loot" that MM and the aunties had gotten on just the FIRST day at Bangkok!

I must say, our ladies are really powerful when come to shopping. If they would have channelled the same energy towards financial planning, I think they would have become millionaires by now! :p

Anyway, they shop happily and we receive presents happily.
Everyone's happy!!

Life's good, don't you think so? :))

There she goes

2011-07-16T19:44:00.006+08:00

MM is going away for a retreat again. And Ollie is going with her!

Lucky fellow :((

What NDP has meant to me nowadays

2011-07-12T20:52:00.009+08:00

MM had once shared that she took part in one National Day Parade (NDP) as a teenager in the early 90s. Together with almost half of her school’s secondary one/two cohort, they were trained weekly for their presentation item with three other schools of students for almost two months! On the actual day, they were made to dress in unusually designed tracksuits (which were red on the right and white on the left), to present a dance and the “Happy Birthday To Singapore” wordings to the whole nation in the rain! Though they were still a bunch of giggling teenagers then, it was a shared experience and sense of achievement that make them feel proud they were there to present, to be part of the celebration and to feel what it means to be a Singaporean (oh yes, not to forget the first yet ever-lasting impression of fireworks that were blasted up in the sky and right in front of their eyes!)!

Nowadays, the NDP has become an increasingly expensive and elaborate show. In his commentary, “Why the obsession with NDP fun packs?” (My Paper, July 8), Mr David Lim shares an insightful observation on Singaporeans’ obsession with the NDP fun packs and how that has eclipsed the actual meaning of national day itself.

Well, my furry brain thinks there’s nothing wrong to stage the NDP as a big-budget performance for mass consumption. It’s also not a sin to throw in a fun pack for every spectator as a memento. But the appeal of the parade today has seemed to lose its original intentions. Instead of commemorating Singapore’s independence, achievements and vulnerability, as well as instilling Singaporeans the sense of belonging and moving forward as a nation together, the glitz and glamour have simply created a distance over the time. Oh yes, the use of Lady Gaga’s hit song to celebrate the contents of this year’s NDP goody bag is another unbearable disappointment. :(

Perhaps that’s why in the recent years of watching NDP on the TV with the humans, i cannot feel the patriotism, as fighter jets swooped across the sky and fireworks exploded in the midst of the singing of National Day songs. To me, the parade is just a fanfare, an entertainment that has to be done every year. Maybe it's because I’m a dog, though I'm one of the intelligent mammals too, my level of excitement is not as much as the humans'. Or maybe it’s just that today’s NDP is never able to fill me the sense of nationhood through the showy ritual. In fact, it's becoming boring and the recent years of National Day songs don't really sound nice to my ears.

Nevertheless, I'm always proud to be a Singaporean (hey, I have a valid licence issued by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore hor!). I, together with my family, sincerely wish our lovely country a very wonderful birthday with many more good years to come:

Happy 46th year of independence!!

My first therapy treatment

2011-06-25T19:22:00.015+08:00

Frankie Boy: Hmm... this thing is safe hor? Will I get electrocuted?

MM: Of course it's safe! Though the modulation mat is wrapped around your body, you don't feel any pain, right? In fact, you just need to relax yourself... an hour will pass very quickly.

But Frankie Boy was still very doubtful.

Our allergy test by BICOM 2000

2011-06-18T17:57:00.150+08:00

Because of my ongoing skin problem and Wynn Wynn's recent bacteria infection, MM decided to bring us for an allergy test. The test would be done via a device known as BICOM 2000, which uses special electronics to detect the frequency patterns produced by the cells in the body. These frequency patterns would tell about the patient's health and body condition. If there were foreign substances, such as bacteria, viruses and allergens, in the patient's body, various programmes could be customized to the patient's needs and help the patient to recover.

Prior the test, MM prepared samples of our food (such as the main meal, tibits and even fruits!) and shampoos. This is to give a more accurate analysis of the results.

BICOM 2000 device

How the test was conducted

In about three hours' time, our tests were completed and the results were produced:

Both Wynn Wynn and I were allergic to meats like beef, mutton/lamb, venison and even PORK!
Our body systems were neutral to fish, and we were recommended to stop taking fish for a while.
We could take raw chicken and rabbit BARF receipes.
Anything that contains oat, wheat and rice would be rejected by our body systems.
We could use almost all the shampoos.
Our body systems could not accept our favourite dehydrated cod fish, pork, chicken, mutton and beef lungs, except for pig hearts.
In all, Wynn Wynn's health condition was much better than mine. It was detected that my body organs were stressful and that should be the main reason of my chronic skin problem.

With that, the therapist recommended MM to let me go through the BICOM Bioresonance Therapy Programmes. And that's how I would be embarking on the therapy treatment in the next subsequent ten Saturdays. MM hopes that this treatment would be the answer to improve my health/body condition, as well as giving me a better quality of life. I hope so too. It's been a torture in the past four years. I wish to end this physical and emotional distress very soon.

Poo-tese or Mal-dle?

2011-06-10T19:13:00.008+08:00

For those of you who have not seen Frankie for a long while, you can easily recognise that his furs have become reddish, instead of the usual creamy white.

HOW does that happen? Beats us. No one knows the answer, not even the vets! The best part is, more and more people thought Frankie is a POODLE!

Hmmm... is Frankie undergoing some biological evolution and becoming something in-between a poodle and a maltese? I don't know.

At least to me, he is still the egoistic and cranky Frankie that I always know. :p

Gotcha!

2011-06-05T10:00:00.000+08:00

* Push... push... PUSH *

Disappointment

2011-05-28T10:01:00.007+08:00

MM received a parcel today.

Based on my lady instinct, I knew that was a BAG at my first sniff!

I was correct. However, MM said it's not a dog carrier, and hence Frankie and I should drop the idea of "occupying" it.

MM can really be a spoilsport at times. :(

My latest infatuation with tissue paper

2011-05-09T12:34:00.008+08:00

Recently, instead of bags and soft toys, I prefer something softer, such as the tissue paper.

Why? I don't know. MM said it should be a temporary infatuation.
Girls will have this kind of issue at times.

Do you think so too?

Tissue paper destroyer?

Or tissue paper eater?

Even Frankie wants to join in too!

Twilight in the east

2011-05-08T07:00:00.009+08:00

Nope, it's nothing to do with that vampire-themed fantasy romance movies/novels.

It's just another MM's spontaneous shot.

Don't you also think the colour hue of the sundown sky is unexpectedly beautiful and striking?

She and her favourite toy

2011-05-02T22:17:00.003+08:00

It is finally here

2011-04-29T01:40:00.014+08:00

How come only the humans have the poll cards?

Since each Singapore Citizen must vote for the next governing party for his/her constituency, shouldn't Wynn Wynn and I be given the cards too?

Hey, does that mean our votes don't count? We are Singapore Citizens too.

Our records can be found in AVA Database. Our individual license and microchip numbers represent our legal citizenship. We also renew (and pay!) our "citizenship" with AVA every year FAITHFULLY! Therefore, why are we excluded in GE 2011? We also want to voice out our rights and needs!

This is really unfair. *Growls*

Our Photo Reminiscence: Part 8

2011-04-27T20:30:00.008+08:00

~ In the loving memory of our great-granny ~

This photo's taken before she passed on a few months later. In fact, it's my very last photo with great-granny. We sure miss her, especially when today's her 5th death anniversary.

Somehow, that suddenly reminds me of a quote:

"Humans aren't afraid to die...they are afraid to be forgotten after death." - From Battle Royale II

That applies to dogs too. Will you remember me and Frankie forever?

Good night Sleep tight

2011-04-26T21:58:00.005+08:00

Awww... is she having a sweet dream?

Happy 7th Birthday To Frankie!

2011-04-25T21:42:00.010+08:00

Frankie is seven years old today!

Happy Birthday, our dearest Kiekie Boy :)

May you stay healthy and happy always.

~ Love from all of us ~

The Housekeeper

2011-04-11T21:09:00.006+08:00

Maybe it's a dog's die-hard habit.
But Wynn Wynn always does that before she goes to sleep.

Unlike me, Wynn Wynn likes to do everything by herself (if she is allowed to).
Well, I prefer to be waited on.

So I guess you should understand by now ~ who is the Prince and who is the Maid. Keke!!

The Unexpected Present

2011-03-25T22:13:00.002+08:00

Her intention was to buy a packet of dried cod fish strips.

Eventually, she bought Frankie and I FIVE different types of treats! WOW!!!

MM said she bought the treats due to a 15% discount which was given in her birthday month. But she still could not understand why she bought so many in the end.

Anyway, who cares!

We just hope MM would continue to buy us all these yummy treats more often than before.

We would pray hard for that to happen again and soon!

Please Help The Animals Too

2011-03-15T19:05:00.000+08:00

While the humans are suffering and need all kinds of help in the unfortunate earthquake/tsunami incident, let's not forget our animal friends who are equally lost and traumatised too. Please extend your help; any amount will do the miracle to save/better their lives. Thank you.

You can find out more about World Vets who is an international veterinary aid organization providing ongoing veterinary programs in 28 countries worldwide, as well as disaster relief for animals.

Happy Birthday To MM!

2011-03-09T23:58:00.005+08:00

Happy Birthday to MM!

Reunion Dinner

2011-02-02T17:47:00.002+08:00

It's Chinese New Year Eve and it's a day when the whole family will gather together to eat and make merry! Luckily Frankie and I are included too. :)

Happy Lunar New Year 2011!

2011-02-01T20:33:00.007+08:00

Year Of The Rabbit Is Arriving BUT...

2011-01-28T20:30:00.008+08:00

... please do not buy or adopt a rabbit

on impulse or because of some impractical reasons.

Do also be more sensitive to our little hoppy friends'
needs and feelings.

New Treats

2011-01-16T18:40:00.007+08:00

It finally dawned on MM that Frankie and I have been deprived from enjoying most things that other doggies do. And so, the first time in our six years with her, MM bought us baked treats from US Doggie Bakery!

Please pardon us but Frankie and I simply went crazy over these new treats!

Cheese Tartlets (lamb)

Cheeky Dumplings (chicken)

While we were enjoying the treats, we would like to clear the following air:

MM has always been stricter with our diet for our well-being, especially when Frankie has ultra-sensitive skin! However, as time goes by, MM becomes more lenient. While our meals still consist of mainly pork and fish, we will have chicken and mutton at times. MM once said as long as Frankie and I do not die from taking a certain food item, it is fine to eat it (except the taboo ones!) in moderation.

Either she has really changed her belief or she is simply tired from setting so many restrictions without seeing the benefits, MM's change is indeed good news to us. Who knows we will get to taste the fast food soon!

MM: One day has passed. The furkids seem doing fine after they have eaten half of the baked treats. :)

Special Breakfast

2011-01-02T11:33:00.003+08:00

What can you do when you have leftover chicken rice?

Well, you can use them to make OMURICE!!!

That's what we had for breakfast this morning. Isn't life good? :))

First Post in Year 2011: Happy Chicken Rice

2011-01-01T19:55:00.006+08:00

Do you still remember our little sister, Yomi?

She was super busy today because she had to help MM to cook our first ever chicken rice!

Yes, Wynn Wynn and I are a bit sua ku (ignorant). Though we live in Singapore all these years, we have yet tasted the local famous fare before. MM said our chicken rice was a bit special. Well, her "special" means NO MSG, NO salt, NO chicken fats and of course, NO chilli sauce. Haha... just kidding... both of us do not take spicy food. :p

Conclusion of our special chicken rice: SIMPLY SCRUMPTIOUS

When Yomi's mood = COOK

Do not disturb... Yomi is a perfectionist when it comes to work!

Plain-looking? Look is deceiving...

See how much we were enjoying the end-product!

Wynn Wynn's face was totally inside the bowl... and for a long while!

Oh yes...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY!!!

May you have a fantastic year with a lot of chicken rice!

Why? We just realised...

CHICKEN RICE = HAPPINESS :))

Our Other Christmas Presents

2010-12-24T20:39:00.007+08:00

Merry Christmas to Everybody!!! :))

Our new cushions from the JieJies!

Herbal duck from Dian Xiao Er...
No, it's not our dinner, but MM did let us have TWO pieces EACH! Yummy!

Now we know why the humans in the family prefer the duck to the turkey...
* Conclusion: Turkey Team LOST *

Our First Christmas Present

2010-12-23T20:38:00.003+08:00

YES! Our first Christmas present is here!

MM said there may be more to come. Wow, so exciting!!! *Woof, woof*

Dehydrated treats - chicken, pig heart, beef lung, prawn...
What a great combination!

We LOVE Strawberries!

2010-12-22T20:07:00.011+08:00

It's the season to enjoy the sweet and juicy strawberries from Korea!

Strawberry - One of our beloved fruits! Frankie and I simply love fruits and hence many of them naturally become our love. Well, we don't practise favouritism. Keke...

There is a belief that strawberries are toxic to dogs. Yet there is another saying that the enzyme in the strawberries helps to keep the dog's teeth white. Regardless of the harms or benefits, MM believes in feeding us the so-called forbidden fruits in small quantity. So, Frankie and I also eat avocados, blueberries, longan, durian and grapes! Since we do not show any stomach upset or vomit after eating the fruits, we will continue to enjoy them together with the humans. However, food items like chocolates, raisins, mushrooms and onions are definitely a no-no in our diet. MM explained these food items are actually yucky, thus we should not waste our tasting effort.

Hmm... don't know why... somehow I feel that MM is simply cooking up an excuse. If these food items do taste disgusting, why are the humans still eating them and always happily? *Puzzled*

Frankie Is Sick

2010-12-21T18:37:00.012+08:00

* Get well soon *

The Not-So-Energized Lapdog

Both MM and Frankie are having "runny noses". Though he has thrown up his dinner and dessert from the previous night, I think Frankie should have caught a cold too. Imagine we are having two "running taps" in the house now... Frankie has fish porridge (instead of the barf patty) for today's dinner. The weird thing is he does really have a good appetite for his apparent sickly condition! To play safe, I better don't stay too close to them because I don't like watery food. I prefer solid MEATY stuff! *Yummy*

Our Photo Reminiscence: Part 7

2010-12-18T12:31:00.004+08:00

In the midst of the festive cheers and with our 5-years-old Christmas photos, here's what we are presenting to you:

"You better watch out, you better not cry, better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town..."

Who's there singing?

"... He's making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town... He sees you when you're sleeping, He knows when you're awake, He knows if you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake! HEY!"

HEY what! I have always been a good girl hor! I'm not scared of you. You better show yourself now!

Haha... It's me who sang the song. Don't you think I have both the look and talent?

Stop being crappy. I know the song was played from the CD player behind you and you still look like a normal white dog to me.

*Sheepishly* Wow, you are so clever! Okok, let's join in the song together then!

Our christmas card greetings TO every one of you!

Our Photo Reminiscence: Part 6

2010-12-16T22:50:00.002+08:00

This is a photo posting about Wynn Wynn, from the day she was adopted by MM & family till today.

Skinny bones then in Nov 2005... but this was Wynn Wynn in a much better condition after a full grooming and recovery from her eyes, ears and skin infection.

A blossomed Wynn Wynn after months of supplements such as Dermatrix and multi-vitamins!

Life's still good :)

A recent photo of the ever-cheery Wynn Wynn, though she has just lost two teeth. *Grins*

Our Photo Reminiscence: Part 5

2010-12-11T20:22:00.001+08:00

MM made a 'cake' for me at my two years old birthday party on 25 April 2006. That was also the time when I first had my skin infection, or perhaps I should say that was the start of my skin infection "nightmare"! Anyway, what I wanted to tell here is something about my 'cake'. It was made of neither flour nor eggs, but purely vegetables and meat! It was not a typical birthday cake, but I really love it! I hope MM would make me one such cake again in my next birthday. So far, I think only I have such a birthday cake in Singapore. Why? Many people would ask MM about the method to make the cake whenever they see the picture. Thus, doesn't that show my birthday cake is really really special? *Grins*

Oh yes, I am turning seven in next April! Time really flies... isn't it? I shall start my countdown and wait to see what the humans would have for me. :)

My special birthday cake

I was so handsome then and still am always!

The start of my "nightmare" (yeast infection) in year 2006

Was Tooth Fairy Here?

2010-11-10T20:53:00.003+08:00

In less than two weeks, Wynn Wynn lost two teeth! And they were from the same lower part of the front gum. Actually Wynn Wynn's lower front set of teeth has been shaky, since the first day she came to the family. I know she will lose her teeth sooner than me because she always eats/munches her food very slowly. Like what I have always advised her: JUST SWALLOW THE FOOD! Using too much of our teeth actually reduces the lifespan. No one believes me. They always thought I was being nonsensical.

So now, who has the last laugh? Poor Wynn Wynn! I think she is going to be a toothless furryball very soon. Keke!

Moody Wynn Wynn...

(MM: Before the first tooth loss happened, Wynn Wynn did not want to eat her dinner for the past two days. We thought she had tummy upset again. Thus we had been rubbing Ruyi Oil on her belly while she was actually suffering from toothache! Blur us!! To note, we never found her two lost teeth. We suspected they should have been ended up in her stomach, though they are yet to be seen in her poo. Since a whole set of teeth is always seen intact in those skeletons, this bonelike structure should not be so easily digested. Isn't it?)

Happy 7th Birthday To Wynn Wynn!

2010-10-19T21:29:00.011+08:00

Happy Birthday to Wynn Wynn

Happy Birthday to our dearest furryball

May you be pretty and happy always!!!

Happy 7th Birthday, Wynn Wynn!

If your age then (5 years ago) was estimated correctly by Dr Chua, you are coming to almost 50 human years old now lor! Nevertheless, do stay healthy and cheery always. Love you. :D

A memorable doggie outing with our friends during the Chinese New Year of year 2006.

Venue: Bishan Park

Made my first pose before starting my exploration...

and surveying the surroundings...

Ok, I shall test the ground first...

Suddenly being ambushed! But I must still keep my smiley in front of the camera :)

A cheery disposition would always ward off all dangers!

*Sniff sniff* Are you the legendary Mr Suave aka XiaoBai?

Mummy, I'm tired and thirsty...

And that's me, Wynn Wynn! I was making my first appearance to our friends... :)

There I was, all ready for my "grand entrance"!

Trying to make my first furry friend...

... as well as to befriend the first human (stranger)!

But I met a "stern" auntie who wore purple nail polish! :P

Nevertheless, I was popular with my always-waggy tail and sweet personality! :)

I Hide But Who Seek?

2010-09-07T19:38:00.006+08:00

Let's play Hide-&-Seek!

I can't see anyone, so they cannot see me too!

What is taking them so long?

Let me take a peek...

Huh, where is everybody?

I'm so bored and tired from the waiting!

Seriously... I think no one is coming to look for me leh... *Sob*

Happy 6th Birthday To Frankie!

2010-04-25T19:39:00.011+08:00

Happy Birthday to Frankie

Happy Birthday to our Frankie Boy

Love you. :))

Our Photo Reminiscence: Part 3

2009-09-22T23:46:00.002+08:00

We managed to retrieve the photos from our Photobucket account which had been deactivated for some times (Whew!). Here're some photos that were used to make up a story after our walk on a Sat morning (29 July 2006). It was named "A Walk To Remember 2006".

Cast: Frankie & Wynn Wynn

Genre: Friendship / Adventure

Plot Outline: The story of two furry teens, Ah Kie (Frankie) and Ah Win (Wynn), who were thrown together to do an early morning walk on a beautiful Saturday. It was simply because Ah Win refused to pee and poo at home.

Trailer: A quite LONG one...

Happy 44th Birthday, Singapore!!!

2009-08-09T20:45:00.012+08:00

No matter how gloomy and hazy the days have been recently, today is Singapore's

BIG DAY!!!

~ Image from weliveinhdbflats.com ~

May you always stay strong and blessed.

We wish you many many great 44 years ahead!!!

At 8.22 PM, Wynn Wynn and I barked out our own version of the Pledge, to take part in this united gesture together with the whole nation...

We, the citizens of Singapore,
pledge ourselves as the friendly waggy cuties,
regardless of race, language or religion,
we will not bark unnecessarily, especially at the neighbours,
based on justice and equality
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress
for our nation.

:) :)

Hi, We Are Still Here!

2009-07-18T23:15:00.000+08:00

Some close friends have been asking whether our blog is still alive. Yes, yes! Of course Utterly Us is still active. Perhaps it should be considered as dormant now. Well, our IT Assistant (i.e. our MM) has been very busy with work. We shall send her a gentle reminder again to update our blog more regularly.

Please remain in touch with us. :))

HE Is Recaptured

2009-05-08T23:24:00.016+08:00

There's a piece of big news in today's papers - the alleged leader of an Islamic militant group accused of plotting to crash an airliner in Singapore has finally been arrested in Malaysia after more than a year on the run.

According to the papers, the guy escaped from a high-security detention centre in Singapore by crawling through a toilet window, followed by a swim across the Johor Strait, using an improvised flotation device. He was arrested on 1 April in Johor state. But the news was only confirmed and then announced to the public today. I wonder how the guy felt to be arrested on April Fool's day. Nevertheless, his arrest means a BIG significance to every one of us. It represents an improvement in the security situation in Singapore and the region. We are safer, well... at least for now.

Why would one want to be a terrorist and threaten the peace and lives? Isn't it better to live together in a harmonious world? I cannot comprehend that at all. Maybe we just have different perceptions. Anyway, based on what I have heard about this guy, he seems to have the great potential in sports! I think he can become a good althetic. With a limp, he had acually managed to run, climb and swim effortlessly during his escape! If he had chosen to become a sportman, *OMG* who knows he could be the next gold medallist in SEA and Olympic Games!

Overall, no matter what we choose to do, we must always be responsible for our actions and accept the consequences. Just like when I always choose to bark at the trepassers, I am all ready to get a severe scolding from MM (MM: Yes, our dear Frankie is always barking at anyone who is outside our house. Can't stand his super acute sense of hearing/smelling...).

Last but not least, three BIG Cheers for Singapore!!! Thank you! :D

Frankie Is FIVE!

2009-04-25T10:21:00.006+08:00

It's 25 April.

Frankie turns five years ago today!

So.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

Frankie Boy!!!

May the e-collar on your neck be removed soon and permanently.

(Let's pray harder than ever)

Love from the family

Tired

2009-03-03T23:38:00.002+08:00

When MM is lying down for a while and listening to a specific type of song, we know she is feeling really tired. There is always a limit in one's physical and emotional abilities. We understand that it is not easy for the humans to handle their regular daily affairs. We dogs also have our own stress. Don't ever think we are having a life full of fragrant roses.

Nevertheless, at this critical moment to regain her inner peace and energy, that will mean MM expects no barking from Wynn Wynn and I. Well, this is tough. But I will try my very best.

Ok, let's enjoy the moment of quiet together...

~ 安静了~

只剩下鋼琴陪我站在這裡

夢想中屬於我們的婚禮卻成了單人結婚進行曲

在這場愛情角力的拔河裡

愛我還是愛你你選擇了自己

撒嬌的可愛的黏人的愛哭的照片裡曾經的都是你喜歡的

如今我還在原地你卻走回你的記憶

你說我愛你太多就快要把你淹沒

你害怕幸福短暫一秒就崩落

分開是一種解脫讓你好好的想過

我想要的那片天空你是不是能夠給我

你說我給你太多卻不能給我什麼

分不清激情承諾永恆或迷惑

愛情是一道傷口我們各自苦痛

沉默是我最後溫柔是因為我太愛你

只剩下鋼琴陪我站在這裡

夢想中屬於我們的婚禮安靜了在我枕邊的夢裡

我知道相愛原本就不容易

愛不是1加1 努力就有結局

撒嬌的可愛的黏人的愛哭的照片裡曾經的都是愛著你的

臉頰的淚還溫熱卻沒有人握我的手

你說我愛你太多就快要把你淹沒

你害怕幸福短暫一秒就崩落

分開是一種解脫讓你好好的想過

我想要的那片天空你是不是能夠給我

你說我給你太多卻不能給我什麼

分不清激情承諾永恆或迷惑

愛情是一道傷口我們各自苦痛

沉默是我最後溫柔是因為我太愛你

Are you the Exception Or the Rule?

2009-02-22T20:33:00.011+08:00

Have you watched or heard of the latest movie "He's Just Not That Into You" in town?

~ Pic from hesjustnothatintoyou.com ~

The movie seems to be quite a rave and catches many people's attention. It is not the usual typical love story. It tells the stories of inter-connected 20 and 30somethings as they navigate their various relationships from the shallow end of dating pool to deep murky waters of married life. In the love game, everyone tried to read the signs of the opposite sex, while hoping in heart that they would be the exceptions, and not the rules...

Why do humans add so much complication in their love relationships? When HE does not call her after the first date, or SHE does not want to develop further with him, isn't that a clear sign to say,"Sorry, I'm not interested."? Doesn't somebody say human is the cleverest animal of all? Look at us, just one "Grrr" from me, Wynn Wynn will get it immediately that I am not interested to play and that she has to stay far away from me. See, I just need to apply one rule and both of us are living exceptionally happily now.

Humans are really a bunch of complex creatures. I guess they just love to have more troubles to add more sparks to their lives. No matter how, no matter what, I still wish everyone to find his or her ever after exceptional happiness ultimately. :)

Happy Valentine's Day

2009-02-14T11:58:00.004+08:00

Valentine's Day...

a day that is associated with roses, chocolates and mutual exchange of love notes,

when promises are made and lovers are united.

For others...

it is a day when more profit can be made by selling the 'love packages',

when the 'bread' is seemed more important.

For the singles...

it might be a day to feel the weird loneliness, to wonder or to act oblivious.

For us, the two innocent, furry four-legged ones...

it is a day when we will be left at home for the humans are catching "Breakout".

No matter who you are, where you are...

two or four legged,

single or attached,

in love or out of love,

at home or outside

fret not...

Celebrate the day with the love in your heart,

for your family, your friends and most importantly, yourself.

Have a Beautiful Valentine!

Lo Hei. Good Luck. Happy Birthday

2009-02-01T22:30:00.008+08:00

Today is 7th day of Chinese Lunar New Year and it is also known as the birthday of all humankind (人日). As such, the whole family had gathered together to lo hei, which is 撈起 in Cantonese, meaning "tossing up good fortune". The humans decided to enjoy the yusheng (鱼生) at home. The typical ingredients include:

fresh salmon, white radish, carrot,

red pepper, ginger, daun limau nipis (lime tree leaves),

Chinese parsley, chopped peanuts,

sesame seeds, fried crackers, five spice powder,

cinnamon powder, dried orange skin,

sesame oil and plum sauce.

When everything was in place, everyone (including Wynn Wynn and me!) gathered around the table and, on cue, tossed the shredded ingredients into the air with chopsticks while saying auspicious wishes out loud to mark the start of a prosperous new year. It's customary that the higher you toss, the greater your fortunes would be!

As for us, we did not get to eat the Yusheng for it is too oily and sweet for us. MM bought us extra fresh salmon instead! Yummy yummy... we just love salmon sashimi!

Happy Birthday to Everyone!!! :)

Groomed During CNY

2009-01-30T20:08:00.005+08:00

While all our counterparts rushed to enhance or tidy their looks for the Chinese Lunar New Year, ours was done during the festival instead. Not too bad, at least we can do it in a more relaxing way. MM loved the idea for she did not have to bathe us during the holiday. What a BIG lazy bum we have here... :P

Gon Gon No. 1

Gon Gon No. 2

LS Go Away

2009-01-29T21:29:00.003+08:00

After 2 days and 3 nights, Wynn Wynn had finally stopped her watery loose stools. Just 4 small meals of porridge did the trick. No matter it's the porridge's credits or simply the loose stools had run dry, we were just glad that Wynn Wynn's ordeal was finally OVER!

Wynn Is Sick

2009-01-28T11:41:00.007+08:00

Starting from first night of Lunar New Year, Wynn Wynn has been having diarrhoea. Luckily no blood was seen in the soft stool.
However, it seems to get worse for the poor girl had visited the 'loo' (our pee-tray in the kitchen) more times yesterday. That's why MM has decided to let Wynn Wynn fast today, upon the advice of Auntie R and Auntie J. Fasting refers to the act of abstaining from food or drink or both, for a period of time. But by understanding Wynn Wynn, we believe she can't go without food for a day. Though her tummy was not feeling well last night, she still finished a small meal of plain boiled meat! Hence, MM has cooked some chicken porridge, hoping that will help to ease Wynn Wynn's pain and stop the diarrhoea.

The Lethargic One

Chicken porridge for Wynn Wynn... then me leh?

Happy Lunar New Year

The Victims

2009-01-25T15:42:00.003+08:00

Dogs are humans' best friends but it may not be the vice versa.

*pouts*

We do get angry too! *GRRRrrr...*

The Morning Walk

2009-01-23T10:00:00.021+08:00

To our delight, MM did not say "byebye" to us after our breakfast this morning.

Instead she said,"Are you ready? Let's go!"

YES! MM's on leave and we were going out of the house to enjoy the morning sunshine, breeze, bird chirping... all under the great blue sky!

A scene of serenity greeted us

Frankie: Ok, you go that way and I go this way.
Wynn: Huh, why? Aren't we going to the park now?

Coz' I thought I saw a pussy cat! Obviously it's a little tiger... *grrr*

Guys... all they know is only about territory issues *shake head*

I shall enjoy my walk at the park alone!

Wow, greenery everywhere...

With one long track ahead...

A big fishing pond...

Not to forget the blue sky and the mysterious trail of cloud...

Tired... let's rest while waiting for Frankie to be back from his 'battle'.

The Gladiator was finally back, but looking tired, messy and sore...

Though we were truly exhausted after the walk, we had fun!

Let's hope for more in the near future. :)

A Gift Of Food & Wishes

2009-01-13T21:58:00.001+08:00

MM received a very nice surprise today. It was a return gift from Baby Amber Lebon and it contains many MM's favourites! The best thing is MM is going to stay back for work tonight again. The gift actually comes at the right time. :)

Happy One-Month Old to Baby Amber Lebon!

May you grow up with all the best things around you. :)

Yomi

2009-01-02T22:39:00.007+08:00

Ta dah! We are proud to introduce you our new addition in the family:

~ Yomi ~

Yomi was a new year gift from MM. Fyi, she was born in Japan. Perhaps that explains why she looks so kawaii (cute)? Heehee... Anyway, Yomi is now a true blue Singaporean, just like us. :)

Though she is small in terms of size and capacity, Yomi is a very capable girl. Within minutes, she can cook us splendid breakfast and dinner!

Unlike me and Frankie, MM said Yomi is so much easier to be cleaned. The best of all, she does not dirty herself all the times. Hmmm... is that statement a bit ambiguous? Does MM mean Frankie and I are always disheveled?

Though what she does seems to make her look like a little Cinderella, Yomi is happy to do the work. To her, it is a responsibility, it is a hobby, it is a play!

Yomi has another special feature. Her two eyes are named "Cook" and "Warm". When she is working or playing, either of her eyes will shine to indicate her mood! The best thing is that her mood always remains happy. Keke...

We are glad to have Yomi with us now. She is our dearest little sis cum buddy!

Happy Holidays

2008-12-24T12:10:00.013+08:00

It's the eve of Christmas and it's been raining non-stop since this morning. Though it seems to be a wet Christmas Eve, hopefully that does not dampen the holiday spirits.

Christmas, a season filled with love, generosity and kindness... Hence, here's wishing everyone, with one of MM's received online greeting cards (this is sharing too), a blessed Christmas and a fantastic year ahead! :))

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

A Mini Home Renovation

2008-12-20T23:24:00.003+08:00

Our house is undergoing a mini renovation currently.

MM said the house is only having a small and quick makeover. But Wynn Wynn and I do not think so. The smell of the paint, the drilling sound and the DUST! They seem to float all around us, with no intention to go away. OMG, we hate such 'persistent pesterers'!

We also hate when our movements are restricted.

We really hate when our naps are disturbed.

And what we actually hate most is we get to eat our dinner LATE!

When is this 'nightmare' ending? Sometimes it really takes patience and some little pains to own new and prettier things. Don't you agree?

Presents From Taiwan

2008-12-08T23:30:00.002+08:00

Hui Jiejie is back from Taiwan!

She bought us cute soft toys which look like... hmm... rabbits(???).

Anyway we love our presents, especially me!

I love to use my 橙橙 as a pillow too.

However, the humans get much much better presents than us.

Isn't that a bit unfair? *pouts*

An Early Christmas Gift From Heaven

2008-11-30T15:29:00.004+08:00

If you were a dog and happened to come upon a piece of Gardenia whitemeal bread on the floor, what would you do? Any sane one would definitely pick it up and savour it!

According to Victoria Stilwell (the author of "It's ME Or The DOG"), when a dog finds something and puts it in its mouth, everyone had to accept that the thing is now belonged to the dog. Too bad, that theory does not sink into MM's brain. While I was happily enjoying the taste, smell and texture of the bread in my mouth, MM discovered my deed! And before I could react, the bread in my mouth was gone! Yes, it disappeared! I know dogs cannot eat bread. But a piece is not going to make me sick or cause my death. Humans are simply over-reacted at times.

Though I did not manage to eat the whole piece of bread, at least I had eaten more than half of it. I think it's an early Christmas gift from Heaven. Maybe next time Heaven should drop me a muffin instead. :)

Hmm... bread yummy... and I bao bao...

MM's Short Camping Trip

2008-11-29T21:19:00.004+08:00

MM did not come home last night. Yes, the WHOLE DAY & NIGHT! It was her another "camping trip", except it was only a day. And again, dogs are not allowed to tag along. Well, being magnanimous, Wynn Wynn and I decided to forgive MM (Heehee...). Anyway, we did enjoy much more freedom without her around. At least our bathing session is postponed to the next following day. :)

MM's camping site

Nice view from the bathroom

Ohh... can also catch a glimpse of the Singapore Flyer!

Another nice view from the bedroom...

Greenery along the lobby...

The "camping site" looks great! Can someone confirm dogs are REALLY not allowed? I always hate bathing, but I don't mind having my pompom in that bathtub with the whole city's view under my eyes. :)

Life Is So Unfair!

I am a dog.

I have four cute little paws.

My four paws were given to me by my parents, so they belong to me.

Since they belong to me, that means I can do anything to them.

But... why do the humans stop me when I am sayang-ing them?

(MM: She means licking.)

Why do the humans scold me when I am kissing them?

(MM: Gosh, that was chewing!)

Why does MM make me wear a transparent lamp shade when I just want to show a bit more affection for my four paws?

(MM: Hello, that is not a lamp shade. It is called Elizabethan collar. Wetty paws are haven for germs and bacteria! Prevention is always better than cure, my dear...)

Doesn't anyone understand?

(MM: Yes, I really don't understand. There's nothing wrong with your paws. Perhaps it's time to get you busier.)

Sighz... Life is full of restrictions. Life is so UNFAIR! *Grrr...*

(MM: I can't agree more on that! Thus, can't you be more cooperative and make everyone's life easier? Sighz...)

Take a rest first while thinking how to fight for my rights!

The Uninvitee

We have an unexpected guest today! Hmmm... perhaps I should not use the word 'guest' for the humans closed the door immediately when they saw IT. MM said IT might (99% possibility) come in through the gate and that would be too dangerous! I could not agree more on that. After all, you cannot judge a book by its cover.

Nevertheless, we did take a picture of IT through a small gap. Who knows IT might be a WANTED! (MM: Frankie actually means if IT is a lost cat... :P)

Innocent fellow... but better don't be deceived by ITS look!

Our Photo Reminiscence: Part 1

2008-11-01T21:58:00.009+08:00

It just happened with no prior signal.

While searching for some files in one of the home laptops, MM came across our old photos which she thought were lost during the PC crash! That is really a nice surprise! :D

Well, let's revive the memories, one by one...

The very 1st collage (Jul 2005):
One-year old Frankie Boy can be quite girly at times... *Shhh, he bites*
