Chatty Lass

1. I do not eat any foreign meat (by foreign, I mean something I find queer) which translates to, I do not partake of beef, lamb, mutton or any other 'newly discovered' delicacies. My diet only consists of chicken, fish and occasional pork.
   
2. I do not know how to speak Chinese. I can only do minimal Hokkien and even then, with the more complicated words, my pronunciation and diction is usually goners. I've been labelled as a 'Banana' (A moniker used on Chinese who do not know their mother tongue) for as long as I could remember.
   
3. I dislike people who love to brag about themselves. In fact, it is a total turnoff to me. If you have, at any point done that, I am sure you will have experienced me reciprocating with undaunting sarcasm.
   
4. I love clothes and shoes, but I am not a trend-follower. I find it rather silly to do so. The so-called 'current' trend is a result of the oscillation of time. Trends which are rave today has probably been prevalent 50 years ago. I much prefer to buy clothes which have classic cuts and are timeless.
   
5. I actually love to drive. I like driving, especially in the morning with my radio on at full blast.
   
6. The first thing I notice about a person is their eyes. Eyes are windows to the soul and I find the saying to be remarkably true. Sweet words could flow out of a person's mouth like a well-oiled engine, but hollow and vacant eyes are an immediate giveaway.
   
7. My first choice as a course of study was Behavioural Science or Anthropology. I was then appalled to learn that such course was unappreciated in Malaysia. I tend to find human beings oddly fascinating.
   
8. I am easily amused and humoured, although it is not code for cringe-worthy and dumb jokes.
   
9. I do not drink Milo, Horlicks or instant coffee sachets. Also, I hate oats. I would rather eat a whole kilo of vegetables than have a mouthful of oats down my throat.
   
10. I actually thought blogging was a waste of time, 2years ago. Little did I know, I was in for a treat and I fell in love with writing all over again...

P/S: Miss Mi-chelle, you really didn't have to. I am touched and very moved. I love the content, but what I love more is the fact that it came from you. Thank you so very much.
( And I will not be outdone, I am already planning the perfect gift for May's celebration =) )

With Daisy, Aug 2008

I looked like a full moon at its brightest approximately 1.5years ago. Currently, at least I have proven that I indeed HAVE a jawbone and it is chiselled, even if I do say so myself. It's not like I have any other facial extraordinaires to brag about... Plus, I have lost quite some weight and the previous love handles are now replaced with firm muscles. Now, I can adorn myself with skinny jeans ( without looking like a turnip ) and figure-hugging tops and frocks.

Who says roller-coaster hormones ( It remains as a hypothesis, but for whatever the reasons, I am thankful ) are a bad thing?

His favourite spot. He loves putting his head in between the shrubs.
( It was by sheer coincidence where I managed to capture a shot of Max sticking out his tongue that way )

See? I told you he could walk... *grins*

(in no specific order of importance)

1. I love potatoes. I think they are the best form of vegetables (or should I categorise it as carbs under the food pyramid?) God has ever created.
   
   I like them in any possible way that they could be eaten: mashed, boiled, sauteed, baked with sour cream... The list goes on. But I do not fancy fries though, I can’t figure out why just yet.
   
   
2. I hate ironing. I just loathe it. I would do anything in order to bribe my mum to do it for me.
   
   
3. I am not a morning person. Save all your appointments or dates with me till after 12, unless you would like to have breakfast with Grumpy Lass.
   
   
4. I love instant noodles with eggs. This is a love, I will admit that has never parted from me since I was a child. Given the opportunity, I would eat it every, single day.
   
   
5. I take time off to talk to myself when I'm annoyed or irritated (I’d talk to myself, even if you are standing right in my face).
   
   If I ever mumble or utter words in a low voice in your presence, chances are you have gotten on my nerves so it would be best to turn around, walk away and leave me alone.
   
   
6. I adore giving out hugs and getting hugs in return.
   
   I believe the simple gesture ameliorates a situation, no matter how preposterous it is. I will gladly take all the hugs I can get and return you with ten times more =)
   
   
7. I love fragrances and perfumes.
   
   I spritz them on my wrists, rub them together and smear them on my collarbone.
   
   Christian Dior and Chanel are my favourites. A alluring whiff of perfume will instantly brighten up my day.
   
   
8. I deeply appreciate honesty and directness. Just get to the point, at all times. Don’t beat around the bush, my brain finds it exceedingly difficult to comprehend pre-intended message.
   
   
9. The Notebook is the first romance movie which made me shed buckets of tears.
   
   I’ve recoiled from shows, movies or books with elements of romance in them for the longest time and watching The Notebook has enabled me to believe in love again.
   
   
10. I nearly set my house on fire once.
    
    Don’t ever trust the instructions on the back of those Filo cheese-filled balls. In the instructions section, it says to pour oil into a saucepan and let it heat up. I left it for 5minutes, just 5 miniscule minutes, I returned to find my pot on fire.
    
    To make matters worse, I doused water on it with intent to put out the fire. (I was only 9 then, so gimme a break *grins sheepishly*)

This is enough proof that dogs are indeed smart, except those of the Shih Tzu and Chow Chow variety. I once heard that they are extremely dim-witted and slow, not to mention those trademark bulging eyes, F-R-E-A-K-Y!

Max knows how to say 'Thank you, Mummy' ( And I am not kidding, I am dead serious ). He can also walk and dance ( Yes, twirl in circles ). I've a good mind to get him a pink tutu as I believe it will complement him perfectly but the rest of the clan thinks I'm nuts.

I am gonna teach Max to curtsey, and we'll see who has the last laugh when he does it...

I think I look more teddy-like now. Some of you may not notice the difference ( You should have your eyes examined! ) but I have less fuzzy fur and I'd like to think that I am more cuddly now.

For the past few days, Mummy has been showering me with lots of hugs and kisses.

I am very pleased... *grins*

Happy 3rd Birthday! You are the best dog any person could ever have.

Lots of love from Mummy...
