Them flowers

Ah ma and ah bee went to the market and came back with many pots of flowers. It must be nearing Chinese new year.

I like Chinese new year. I get things to eat.

Heart wrenching

We read that a dog in the states was locked in the kennel for 6 weeks after its owners moved away and was left with only a limited supply of water. To survive, it ate its own tail.

And then we saw a photo of a three month old pygmy elephant trying to wake its dead mother who, together with a dozen other elephants, is suspected to have been poisoned.

We hate people.

Cheap thrill

Fomfomfom and ah bee went shopping today. I got kangaroo cubes, which were alright I guess, and they each got a pair of $15 court shoes. That's coz they'd decided they're going to play badminton tomorrow and they have no shoes. They were so thrilled about it they even changed all the grips on their rackets tonight.

I wanna see how long this badminton thing can last.

So sad

Ah ma decided to wash me and my possessions today. She washed all my towels, the pillowcase and even my sheepskin rugs. The rugs are still hung outside at press time.

I'm deeply unhappy.

The egg

Cha asked me why I didn't write down in my diary that I found a little egg on ah ma's balcony two days ago. Ok, here goes.

It was a little blue bird's egg. We flipped it over and saw that it had a hole in it. I suppose the little birdie hatched and flew off. Dunno.

I didn't know eggs can be blue.

Fatty poms

Fomfomfom weighed me today and she told everyone that I put on 300g. Then everyone started calling me a fatty poms and Fomfomfom rationed my supper.

I hate them.

Keeping it real

I read in the papers today that dogs used to be wolves. Of course I knew that already. What was newsworthy is that we learnt to digest starch and tolerate humans along the way. This digestion is what determined if you were a successful dog or not.

I don't know if i can digest starch well or not, coz i have trained them to not give me starch. I make sure they know i prefer to eat meat like my ancestors, with lots of tidbits. And how I tolerate them! Their entire existence is a real test of my tolerance.

I think I make a real successful doggie.

Who is that

Cha asked why didn't I pay her any attention when she came home just now. I didn't answer her but it's really because she has green hair now and I haven't gotten used to it.

Neh, that's just an excuse. I was just too lazy but don't anyone tell her that.

Chinese characters

It was mahjong day today and ah ma went out before any of us had woken up. So she left a note for her offspring. Only that her offspring couldn't decipher the note. At least not Cha or fomfomfom. It was only when ah bee woke up after noon that she deciphered ah ma's code. Coz she had seen ah ma do strange things like that before.

It seems that ah ma had put together her word components side by side instead of top and bottom as is the usual practice. We're not even sure if there is an unusual practice that allows ah ma to write so weirdly.

And she used to be a Chinese language teacher.

Nana!

We found out today that Nana's achilles heel is peekaboo. It gets her smiling everytime.

I foresee lots of peekaboos in her future. At least whenever she bumps into us anyway.

So cute that one.
