Our Dogs and Cat

Sunday, 26 March 2006
Mum kept dogs since she was a small girl in China. I have dogs too but not since the year 2000. There was one time whereby my children and me have to take care of 6 dogs: Chico (male terrier/collie), Banjo (male shihtzu), Lassie (female shihtzu), Ralph (male terrier), Nina (female) and Ginger (female). Lots of work for them but lots of love from them!

Mum now has 3 females dogs and they are all descendants of Lassie! I have been trying to take pictures of them but they wouldn't allow me until this afternoon - they just got a bath and tied up to dry so that they don't roll on the dirty ground.

This is Banjo of a different generation and a different gender, daughter of Lassie.

This is Ah O, offspring of Banjo, therefore the granddaughter of Lassie.

And Mei Tze, another female offspring, from the latest set of puppies, of Banjo.


Mum has a kitten and her name is Miaw Miaw. She is in her dreamland, with her 2 fore legs tangling down between the wooden planks of the bench and her hind legs on top of the planks.

Miaw Miaw woke up later and played with Mei Tze.

Dogs are my favorite pets! Cats................can do lah!

Grandma and Her Grandson

Wednesday, 22 March 2006
Mother is 80 years. Take away the zero and that is my youngest nephew and her youngest grandson, 8 years old, Clinton. They are best friends at home. It is 'Clinton' this, 'Clinton' that. Doesn't every grandma love her grandchildren so much that they spoil them.

I have not come to that stage yet; I think I would probably spoil my grandchildren as well :). Clinton's mum and dad are busy with their respective jobs to support the family, sister is usually reading or doing her school works. Grandpa has gone over the veil. There is only grandma who is free to talk and play with! And so it is also "Grandma' this, 'Grandma' that.

The schools had their semester break last week and classes are supposed to resume this week but the younger children in the primary schools were told to remain home, so as to control the spread of the hand, foot & mouth disease that had attacked a number of children in the country.

I brought my mother and my nephew to Taman Selera this afternoon. It has been quite a while since I last accompanied both of them to this seaside park. There were not many chhildren when we were there and I guess we were early or probably the children were kept at home for fear of the disease! We always enjoyed the cool sea breeze!

Mother's Orchid

Mother has always been an orchid enthusiast, although she doesn't plant a lot. She just had her hair cut - the first time she ever have her cut so short - but it suited her.
