Tiring Sunday~~

Sigh. Been unable to update my blog with pictures coz internet is down @ home..(Boo!) For 3 days already i wasn't able to surf the net/check emails @ home. Called to make an appointment on Monday, the technician is finally coming down tomorrow to check on the new modem & solve the issue. He better do so!!!

Anyway, last Sunday was a very hectic day. Early morning we went to Bugis for breakfast then went to pray to Goddess Of Mercy & *thanks-giving* (as Cat passed her driving test @ 1st time when we went to pray the week before..) Heez~ After that, Dad droved us to Tekka market on the way home, cause i wanted to get some beef meats & wing tips to dehydrate as the treats for the dogs already finished. =p

After reaching home & looking at the nice weather (not too hot, cloudy), we put on the collars & leash on the dogs & decided to bring them to the dog-run @ pasir ris. Upon reaching there & parking the car, i saw a familiar car & wondered whether it could be Josephine? Just as i wondered, Cat saw Ozzy running towards the gate where we are, followed by Rocky.. Hahaha~ How coincidence! Didn't expect to meet her & the trios there at all as we didn't planned to meet. Heez

The 4 schnauzers happily ran around the field & barked @ other dogs while Tessie hides under Jo most of the time. After an hour or so, i saw a familiar Honda driving into the carpark & looked @ the carplate no. - seems familiar, look like Winnie's car. Just then Cat saw Winnie in the passenger seat with Junior. LOL~ This is sooooo coincidenceeeeeeee!!! Aiyoyooooooo. Buy 4D also never so 'zhun' man!

Jester has grown to be such a big boy. He seems to grow bigger everytime i met him. His furnishings are so bushy, he resembles a small black bear running around the field. Whahahaa! Junior is still the good & lovely boy as usual~ It was nice to see them playing & running about. We stayed at the corner near the small-dogs area & everytime another bigger dog 'intrudes' the area, Jester & Emma would bark & chase them off. Tsk tsk tsk!! Ohhh, we also met suki_grace there too with her MS, but i couldn't differentiate whether it was Suki/Miko? Hurhur^^

Winnie didn't stayed long though, probably about 45mins.. since she was sending her boys to the groomer for their bathing session. Jo & I left together at about 2.45pm or so~ I did not send the dogs to the groomers, decided not to be lazy, thus i brought them back home & bathed them myself..~

Upon reaching home, i cleaned them up first & checked for ticks. Allowed them to rest while i went to lay the 1.5kg beef meats & 20pcs wing tips to dehydrate which i bought early in the morning @ Tekka. Then, i used the balance meats (not enough trays, lol) to cook HCF with chopped carrots for them as their lunch/dinner. After the meal, i started with bathing Ebi first. Then, i dried him as much as possible with the absorbent towel, followed by blowing dry & brushing/dematting. Next, i vacummed & mopped my room with the neem wash (just in case) & left Ebi in the room to sleep. I bathed Emma next, dried her with towel & blowdry, followed by brushing & dematting - she took me a longer time since she has thicker fur. Oh, i also managed to take out the fan to wash & clean, then the aircon's filter too. After sending Emma to the room & sleep, i proceeded to clean up the kitchen & vacummed the kitchen floor. Then, i went on to vacuum the living room & mom's room as well. It was 8pm after all these were done. I finally sat down to have my dinner, then proceeded to bath & last thing to do, was to change my bedsheets & blanket. *Phew* It was already 9pm when i could finally rest on my bed & watch my TV. (",)

Such a tiringggggggggg day indeed! I hardly ever 'push' myself to complete so many tasks in 1/2 a day, keke. But once i starts, i cannot stop otherwise i will stop doing everything altogether. LOL! My arms & back were aching from all the chores! I think it's all worth it though, coz i likes to keep the house neat & clean. Therefore, I does the household chores every week if i can~ =p

WeeEee! It's Sentosa again~!

This time round, we went to Palawan Beach @ Sentosa. Nope, it's not our usual schnauzer gathering nor doggy meet-ups session..~

We purely wanted to go for a swim & pinic with the kids. Sis & Bro-In-Law brought Ryan, Belle didn't came as she was down with fever. I brought Ebi (coz Emma hates the waters more than Ebi) with me & Hoe + AiLing came as well.

We met at 10+am & proceeded to open up my portable table alongside the coconut trees where there's alot of shade & parked ourselves right beside the open shower area (easy access). Hahaha! Then, the hungry monsters (all of us) started to feast on first, before we leave for the waters. Hurhur^^

Ebi watches us from the shore as we 'floats away'~ He kept whining & whining..
Photobucket
Ryan gave him a slight push from the back, Ebi swam to us & swam back to shore alone! So proud of him! And i realised, not that he don't like to swim, it's more like he do not dare to take the '1st leap' to leave his paws off the sand to swim!
Photobucket
Ryan enjoying floating around~

We had a great day! Suprsingly, Ebi was very willing to swim today! At around 2+pm, I gave Ebi a through rinse & dried him before sending him to Gladys thereafter. We swam from 11+am all the way till 3+pm before we rinsed ourselves, packed & leave for home. Super tired! My back, arms & legs were aching all over! Gosh~

Oh oh, the new 32" inch SHARP LCD TV (great deal!) i bought was delivered when i was in Sentosa on Saturday noon, luckily Mom was home. Hahaha~ They shifted my old working TV outside & installed the new one for me. Gorgeous!! Though it's a little huge, but we loves it! It doesn't make any sense if i were to get a smaller 19" Sony / 26" LG when i can top-up a mere $100 for the 32" Sharp LCD TV isn't it? We enjoyed watching the TV with Hub-Station now even more! On the aircon, rest on the bed & watch our favourite HK dramas on the huge screen.. super enjoyable! Geez~

Fun Fun Sunday @ Sentosa~!

Yeap, we were off to the beach again! This was sorta arranged last minute coz some of us couldn't make it to the Kranji Farm event which Ade was planning. Nevertheless, Gary suggested Sentosa & the few of us agreeded immediately. =)

Initially i wasn't able to go coz i didn't have the car to use since Dad needs the car in the morning. Jo then offered to pick me & the dogs up at approx 8.30am~ On saturday night, good news came. My buddy agreed to go with me so i have help in handling the dogs & he offered to drive us there in his new car. Yippee~

We reached Sentosa nearly 10am & met-up with Ade + Victor (Cobi), Gennie (Wilbur & Sweetie) & Jo (Ozzy, Tessie & Rocky) there. Gary, Kat & Nicholas was there with (Sniper & Julius) since 8+am! On the way to look for Gary, we also happen to met DoDo & MoMo with the Jacketeers gang! Such coincidence! (",)

Soon after, it was off to swimming time! I didn't wanna get myself wet, so Jo & Gary helped me to bring the dogs into the water & let them swim. Hurhur^^

Oh, did i mention Ebi became the 'attraction' of the day? LOL~ No idea why, but the male schnauzers were all so interested in him suddenly. They took turns to sniff & lick him non-stop & follows wherever he goes. Ebi & Julius kept playing the 'hugging game' & this is the first time - i see Ebi run & play catching so happily with all the other male schnauzers running & chasing after him. Hahaha~ He must have emited a very special scent on Sunday. Weird - becoz after water rinsing, Ebi still smelt so nice whereas Emma smelt of 'seawater'. LOLLL!

We left Sentosa around 12+pm & after rinsing, Jo & I proceeded to Urban Pooch with our dogs. We had our lunch there & we ordered some doggy food for the dogs too. It started to rain heavily soon after & just when we finished our lunch, the rain stopped. Good timing! Kekeke

It was all quiet coz we were the only ones there. Emma just had the occasional barks & minor screams @ the boarding dogs. Until a family walked in with their beagle. Emma just starts her nonsense & cannot stop screaming @ that poor dog. I just don't understand why she simply cannot stand bigger dogs around her. Arghhhh~!!

Anyway, we bidded farewell & i sent the duos off to Gladys for their bathing session. While waiting (2 hours to go..) we decided to head over to Giant @ Tampines to do some shopping. Oh, i also managed to get my 320GB External HDD @ a mere $89.00 over there! It happened to be on promo & it was the last day! Cheap!! Have been looking for 1 to backup my photos & mp3s in the PC. =p Am pretty much lucky today eh, everything went smoothly~! =) We went off to pickup the dogs @ 5pm & then drive over to check-out the "mini park" that i've been wanting to see. Nice!

I think this is a pretty much nice place to have doggie gatherings! We can off-leash the dogs & let them roam around the place while owners can sit @ the shelter to chit-chat. We could probably also bring along our own food & drinks & have a mini pot-luck session. LOL~ But most importantly - owners really gotta keep their eyes on the dogs unless we can block off the staircases (5-6 i think). Geez

(They just kept imitating how Emma barks & this only prompt her to get angry & scream @ them louder. Duh! (-_-") Very very irritating & ignorant kids!)

I sent the duos home & went off for dinner + dessert session with my buddy. Reached home @ 7+pm, took a bath, on the aircon, watched the tv & slept @ 9.30pm! The duos were dead tired & fell asleep soon too!

Photobucket
They loves sleeping on each other's bed & my bed. =p

zzZZZ~ Sweet sweet dreams

Till then, we meetup with our doggy pals again! To the other schnauzer pals that wasn't present, we missed all of you! We shall meet-up soon! *wrOoOF*
