A day with my birdie Kiddo

My little Kiddo just after splashing herself.

 

Hey comon! Wanna play ball with me?

 

Look! I've so many friends to play with me!!

 

Kiddo posing for CNY shot!

She always does this whenever trying to get my attention. She can even slam dunk that rattle ball! Only when she wants to.

Too many updates...

I haven't been blogging for awhile again!! I've left so many things I wanted to update on my blog but had not been able to get rid of the lazy bug!! All of a sudden, many posting in feb!! HAHAhaha  

I will continue with some concert & travel post backdated in 2010 soon... I love to share photos which I took.

 

Hot Chocolate from Charlie Brown Cafe at 313 orchard. It's located outside the building but at the other side not facing the road. So if you are not thinking of walking the other side of the building, you might just miss it. Their hot chocolate is quite thick. Maybe it's premium hot chocolate? Or isit becos the water added was too little as the add the whip cream on top? When I scooped out the cream, the cup was 2/3 filled...

The ambiance at the cafe is quite nice as its not facing the road. This cafe brings back childhood memories of Charlie Brown & gang cartoon (peanuts) during our time...

 

The Celling lights. 

Till then, that's all for now... Had made few changes on my blog. Follow my blog, rate my post or sign my guestbook.

Bambee

After seeing her pictures on my cousin's FB, I finally get to visit Bambee in M'sia!

When we arrived, she was resting at the front door.

She's a pretty Beagle, doesn't bark & super friendly! But she smells...

 

Curious at the beginning... as I dare not get too close initially... not sure if she bites... As the owner of the hse was not in at that time.

 

But she was spontaneous to pose for me to take photos!
Welcome to my garden!!

 

After warming up. Excited Bambee ran here & there in the living room with her ears flapping.

She knew she's not allowed not go upstairs unless the owner permits.

 

She's a gd company while watching tv.

She noes she's not supposed to sleep under the table...

This was where she sleeps & hid her so call treasures.

 
My relatives took her in because her owner (Indian Engineer) was migrating to Australia.

But she left last nov... 

Dear Bambee, you are being missed by us. Thanks for the joy you brought to us.

My cousins' Cat

Ashe went missing for a few days. That's normal for cats to go MIA for a while. One day, she came back with not one but 3 surprises! She had given birth to 3 adorable kittens!! Amazingly 3 different coloured kitties!!

Ashe had became a mother!! Kitties happily sucking mommy's milk! According to my cousin, the kitties were always at the same position like this pic when milking. My cousins loved them. I would love to get hold of the kittens too but, they were too far... sigh. They were in Melbourne!!

 Look at this kitty!!! Such cute sleeping position would melt your heart by just looking at them everyday.

My cousins made a trip back last yr to celebrate Xmas & CNY with us for about a month. The Kitties grew...

They were able to survive on solid food. My cousin who was due to come back later was put in charge to take care of the kittens & get rid of them... b4 she leaves.

Through FB, she updated the status of the kittens. Initially she couldn't find any ppl or petshops who were willing to accept the kittens, she worried abt what will happen to the kitties when she's not ard. When she finally found a petshop who were willing to take in the kitties, the feeling was happy & sad at the same time...

I too felt the same when she posted this pic... the kitties looked sad & scared... you could see their fur standing at its end. When I showed this update to my cousins who were in Spore at the time, they were sad too.

An update while they were in the petshop. The grey kitty was sold. Orange kitty will be given to the petshop owner's mum. Another cute sleeping position!! How come still so cute!! How could you bear to leave them there... As for the white, we all hope it will end up with good family. My aunt allows only one cat at their home.

A pic of my cousin with Ashe, their lovely cat.

I like her fluffy tail.

Initially her name was Ash. Then there was typo so it became Ashe. Here's my cousin's blog post abt Ashe when they just got her. All photos were extracted from their FB....

DIY Nail arts

My first Gelish manicure done for the Xmassy season. Removing it was tedious though but it does last longer than normal nail polish. I had them scraped off by myself following the methods on the internet rather than wasting my time sitting for hours in the salon. Browsing through Youtube, watching how easy some nail art was done, I decided to try out some methods myself.

 

My 1st trial on the marbling method by dripping the nail polish in to the water & creating  patterns & dipping your nails in. Only my middle finger was done successfully... This method might dry your nail polish fast so try not to keep the fan on when trying out the marbling method.

1st trial on the sponge method. Does it have the gradient effect feel? Am not sure why my nail tips were smudge. Might be my base was not completely dry, I applied the top coat. An idea of what I wanted to do for my CNY nails.

I wanted to try the marbling method again, not wanting to waste my precious nail polishes, I went to get some cheapo polish to play with. It's advisable to get cheap ones as marbling method is dripping your polish in to the water. The more you drip the more the patterns/colours will turn out prettier.

A clearer pic of my 2nd trial of marbling method. Well, not 100% sastisfied, but at least the patterns were prettier then my 1st trial... lol!!

My thumbs. One was slightly smudge. The other 1 though the polish was too thick but the pattern turned out pretty. 

 

My CNY nails!! I had a pearly pink base with gold & red gradient.

A clearer pic of my nails! Love them! So pretty! But too bad they are normal nail polish & they didn't last more than a week. But touching up the chipped tips were easy as it was the sponge method. lol!!

 

Before I had not came across those creative methods of DIY nail arts, I thought of doing this for my CNY nails. lol!! Boring rite...

Blooming flowers welcoming the New Year

 

 My mum's plant bloomed beautifully outside the house on New Year's Day. So bright & red. What a pretty sight!!

 

 2nd & 3rd flower bloomed just in time for Chinese New Year.

Blessing our whole family good health, luck & wealth this dragon year.

Glad I could breath normally again

Feeling breathless I thought I it was because I had not been exercising enough...  After revisiting doc I realized I shouldn't have let my condition drag for so long. No more Doc hopping. Did 2 x X-ray results showed the same thing. I had to go for further checks as normal GP's antibiotics couldn't help.
Fever was persistent. Feeling hungry & thirsty but I couldn't eat & drink normally. How I wished I could cut up my stomach to stuff my food in.
I'm glad I could breath normally again. I can't understand why some can just end their life when it's god gift to be able to breath. Life is to be treasured.
