A Day @ Pasir Ris Petfarm

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

We went to U-Petgamart in Pasir Ris Farmway 1 to buy Kookie & Rinko’s food today. Since we had the day free, we decided to bring the 2 furkids along for a swim in the 10m swimming pool meant for dogs owned by the pet megamart.

U-Petgamart owned a gigantic dog by the name of 阿呆 which is at least 30 times of Rinko’s size (I forgot to take his picture but I promise to take it the next time I go there).

This is the 2nd time our 2 furkids swim in the pool. They were quite scared of the water the 1st time they went there and we were scared that they may drown but this time round they proved themselves to be natural swimmers.

Two Poms!!! Guess which is Rinko?

Forest Adventure…

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Forest Adventure is an aerial course built through the trees comprising ladders, bridges, swings, nets, trapezes and giant zip lines.

10 of us, Guowei and girlfriend, Dawn, Guorong, Vernon, Nancy, Karen, Ethan, Jackie and I gathered at Bedok Reservoir Park at 10am to start our forest adventure activity.

We had instructors to demonstrate and brief us on the safety rules before we start on our course.

Zipping across the reservoir was so exciting!

When we reached a free-fall point where we had to do a “Tarzen Swing” to get to a net on the other side, Vernon who was afraid of  heights hesitated for a whole 3 minutes before he dared to jump.

The whole course took us about 2 hours and we were very dehydrated by the time we completed the course. Luckily for us, the weather was quite cloudy and the sun wasn’t very strong.  A prefect weather for such an outdoor activity.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I usually have my salad with Thousand Island dressing, but I decided to try something new today by mixing it with Apple Cider Vinegar and honey. The taste is totally refreshing!!!

Having Apple Cider Vinegar as a dressing is also healthier than Thousand Island Sauce.

Chomp Chomp

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

I went Chomp Chomp with Kian Gee and Jackie this evening. Though it was drizzling, it did not dampen Kian Gee’s mood. He happily went to order 2 large and 1 small sugarcane juice (I specially told him to order small one for me) and was shocked when he saw the size of the cup!!!

Nevertheless, he was still very satisfied with the drink and finished the whole mug (or should I say jug?). Instead it was me with the smaller glass who couldn’t finish my drink.

We had carrot cake, bbq chicken wings, satay, sting ray, fried Kailan and the 3 gigantic sugarcane juices at only $37.

Then, Kian Gee did something out of the ordinary: dipping his bbq chicken wing in satay sauce and ate it!!! LOL!!!

“Will you marry me?”

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

I was surfing omy.com today and saw this interesting article. A man (I think he’s from Malaysia, correct me if I’m wrong) is asking for 1 million wishes before 27th January, 2010 as his proposal gift to his girlfriend.

Quoted from his website :

Hi, I’m going to propose to my girlfriend. I need your help to prepare a very special surprise proposal gift to my girlfriend. I need 1 million blesses from the world, please help me.”

To contribute your wishes, please go to http://willyoumarryme2010.blogspot.com/

Rinko came to my house when he was 2.5 months old. The pictures below show pictures of him when he was still a puppy.

Today, I was holding Rinko’s poo with the kitchen towel in my hand while waiting for Jackie to get a plastic bag from the storeroom when Rinko demanded me to carry him. With one hand occupied, I couldn’t possibly carry him.

When I finally got to throw the poo into the plastic bag and washed my hands, our little Rinko got angry. So, he decided to show his unhappiness in his own way.

He raised his leg and peed on my right foot!!! “Spare the rod, spoil the child”, in my case it’s “Spare the rod, spoil the dog”. I must have spoilt this little dog of mine too much for him to show such disrespect to me.

Later he knew I was angry and kept a distance from me until I decide to speak to him. Nevertheless,  we’re still bringing Kookie and him to Sentosa for a little picnic on 21st September to celebrate their birthdays. Anyone’s keen to join us?
