OK, that's... pleasant... =P
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

QQ's Progress Report
Hey there, i'm QQ the cute little puppy Puffyrazzi mentioned earlier. I have been with my new set of masters for about 2 months now. Boy, have i grown since then. Every day, they feed me these nice dog biscuits that i wipe clean in seconds. I also have a housemate by the name of Puffy. I love to bully her day and night cos she is such an old bore so i need to perk her life a bit...hiak hiak
I bet you guys don't really understand the stress being a cute dog. Sometimes i feel like screaming, cos of all the attention. My masters keep pestering me, saying i'm cute and trying to teach me how to do things right.
Don't get me wrong, i love my masters, especially Mommy cos she combs my hair everyday. Grooming time also means petting time. She also gives me baths, which i really enjoy except for the last part where she blows me dry with a hair dryer. It gives me goosebumps. Daddy, on the other hand, brings me out for an evening walk everyday. I adore looking at the scenery and smelling the wild scents outside home.
As i grow up, i get naughtier. Hey, you can't blame me for going through a teething period! I constantly need to chew on something, but i can't help it. It's like an addiction... Blimey, i don't think its something you grown ups understand. See! My masters tried to control my teething problem by locking me up in this 'jail' once in a while. Of course i'm upset, well , try to look on the bright side, at least they got me a special polka dot bowl to go with it, which i'm very pleased with.
I learn new things fast. I am now able to sit and shake-hand on command. And i got it right on my first try too! I'm not a pedigree dog for nothing, you know. I'm slowly but surely catching up with Puffy vocabulary-wise... heheh...watch out...QQ's coming through!

Catch a glimpse of Puffyrazzi's family! My apologies if some photos are not that clear, they are probably the ones taken by my phone camera.

Merry 2007!
Merry X'mas and a happy 2007 all! This greeting came kinda late, but better late than never. I was hampered all week by the internet glitch at home. Ahhh, the power of mother nature, who showed her rage on Boxing Day last year. One quick jolt to the seabed made some of us unfortunate ones lost connection with the web for days. Sigh...and my connection now is still slightly slower than it used to be.
So, did everyone get what they wanted last X'mas? I never really had any experience celebrating X'mas before i came over to S'pore. It was only after i came here, the habit of gift exchanging began to rub on me, thanks to the frenzy of those around me...haha... I was out almost all day on X'mas day this time, soaking up the spirit in the shopping district. However, i didn't anticipate that half of the stores would be closed. Ah well, at least the cab queue was short, actually it was almost non-existent ;)
As for New year's eve, it was a blur to me. I was zapped from having to recover from a night shift, so i spent almost the entire day snoozing away. I did wake up briefly to catch the 'MOMENT'. But half an hour later, i was snoozing again.
Ahhh, i miss food from home. My favourite food in the entire world is Malaysian style hokkien mee ( the s'pore version sucks to the max). Look look, i captured a picture so that i can gawk over it whenever i want. Looks pretty sinful huh? Covered with pork lard and fats, it is not meant for the tubby ones. Also not advisable for those with high cholesterol levels =P
On the 5th day in Malaysia, i was running a high fever due to a throat infection. Guess how much it cost me to see a doc for consultation + 2 medicine courses? Less than RM15, which amounts to about $6. Waaaa hhahahaah.... on my way out of the GP's clinic,i spotted a famous kopi shop and i smiled sheepishly at my father. We ended up buying a humongous Da Bao (big pau) - malaysian big pau size is more than double of s'pore's - and a homemade Lo Mai Kai.
My mom is the renowned cook /chef in my neighbourhood. When she's not busy making pizzas of baking her own bread, she'll be in a neighbour's home making cream puffs. Some of my all-time favourites that my mother alwiz makes on my request are : Fried pork meatballs, Fa Gao (steamed cupcakes), durian cream puffs, pancakes, apple pie, pizza that i top on my own (yay! extra mushrooms) and this light dish ( see pic). Minced pork with added dong cai surrounding an egg.
