Jennifer say:

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
should have post this on Friday when Nana came to our house. It seem that Nana Seem to have ESP. Nana had came to find our unit on the 8 floor 4 times. All times were discovered by my dad whom went out early to jog.

1) The first time, my dad spotted nana hiding under our pots of plants. Nana ran away before we can woke up to feed her. Well..it was 6 or 5 am plus in the morning.

2) The second time, dad saw nana in the corridor outside our unit and woke us up. Nana was meowing loudly when i carried the 6 or 7 kg cat inside our flat.

3) dad spotted nana in the 4 floor but she did not ran up to our 8 floor

4) this is friday where nana was meowing again when she saw dad.

We never once bring nana back to our flat so it is really a mystery why nana can find our unit. this only answer is nana know ESP. ha...

After food, it is grooming time

More grooming like curling like a snake

I think my sister has more picture of nana in her laptop but i can only use those pictures i found in her blog.

Oh and yes, after eating, Nana kept standing near the door asking to be let free. Once i opened the door, she rushed out. I had to follow her and bring her down to her usual hideout to ensure she does not hang around other ppl corridor.In between floor, she would suddenly stopped to groom her beautiful fur. I need to kept calling her to follow me. Finally, i managed to coax her to walk all the way down from the 8 floor to the first floor. . Good exercise for both nana and me.

A cat in other languages is...still a cat

Jennifer say:

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Just found this site, actually i searching for the cat in different languages and came upon this great site...http://petcaretips.net/cat_phrases.html and after reading simplelife blog abt ailurophile. I just learnt its opposite: ailurophobe(see the words in red to know what that, a must KNOW for cat lover / cat hater.

I used this site to find out more abt the meaning of each phrases: http://www.onelook.com/ and
this site: http://www.kinrossfolds.com/cattery/catzenglish.html#anchor918328 and lastly

http://www.messybeast.com/catsay.htm

more on cute cat phrases:

here what the site has:

Cat Phrases

cat's cradle: a game played with string looped over the fingers

cat ice: Ice forming a thin shell from under which the water has receded

cat in the meal:Something hidden or sinister

catgut:a strong cord made from the intestines of sheep and used in surgery

catcalls:a cry expressing disapproval

caterpillar: a wormlike and often brightly colored and hairy or spiny larva of a butterfly or moth (well, we all knew what that)

caterwauling:the yowling sound made by a cat in heat

pussy foot: Meaning crafty, cunning, or moving in a cautious manner

catboat:a sailboat with a single mast set far forward

clowder of cats: This is based on the old definition of the verb "to kindle," which described it as "bringing forth" or "giving birth to young."

fat cat: a wealthy and privileged person

scaredy-cat: somebody who is unusually timid and frightened

grinning like a cheshire cat: fictional cat with a broad fixed smile on its face; created by Lewis Carroll -Display a silly grin

CAT:
1. Clear Air Turbulence

catnap: a short sleep (usually not in bed)

raining cats and dogs: Raining very heavily

cat burglar: a burglar who unlawfully breaks into and enters another person's house

cat scratch disease: a disease thought to be transmitted to humans by a scratch from a cat

not enough room to swing a catcat's meow:There are two theories about "not enough room to swing a cat," neither of them very cheerful. One is that the phrase refers to the "cat o'nine tails," a nine-thonged whip used in the days of square-rigged ships to discipline unruly sailors. This "cat" got its name from the fact that the welts it left on a sailor's back looked like enormous cat scratches. Most such whippings took place on the open deck, both as an example to the rest of the crew and because in the cramped quarters below decks there was "not enough room to swing a cat."
The other, less cat-friendly theory is that the phrase refers to literally swinging a cat around by its tail.

cat and mouse: a game for children in which the players form a circle and join hands; they raise their hands to let a player inside the circle or lower their hands to bar a second player who is chasing the first

a cat has nine lives: The cat's resilience and toughness led to the idea that it had more than one life, but the reason for endowing it with nine lives, rather than any other number, has often puzzled people. The answer is simple enough. In ancient times nine was considered a particularly lucky number because it was a "trinity of trinities" and therefore ideally suited for the "lucky" cat.

you don't have a cat-in-hell chance: The complete phrase is: "No more chance than a cat in hell without claws." It was originally a reference to the hopelessness of being without adequate weapons.

cattycorner: The proper word, in fact, is "catercorner" or "catercornered." The "cater" is an Anglicization of the French "quatre," or "four," and "catercornered" originally just meant "four-cornered." To specify that something is "catercorner across" from something else is to stress the diagonal axis of an imaginary box, as opposed to saying "directly across" or just "across."

she's "having kittens": means that someone will be terribly upset, to the point of hysteria

letting the cat out of the bag: letting secret out
cat's paw: A dupe or tool for another, a sucker, as in You always try to make a cat's paw of me, but I refuse to do any more of your work. This term alludes to a very old tale about a monkey that persuades a cat to pull chestnuts out of the fire so as to avoid burning its own paws. The story dates from the 16th century and versions of it (some with a dog) exist in many languages.

polecat: dark brown mustelid of woodlands of Eurasia that gives off an unpleasant odor when threatened

catwalk: narrow pathway high in the air (as above a stage or between parts of a building or along a bridge) or narrow platform

to sit in the cat-bird seat : As the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang defines the term, "in the catbird seat" means "in a position of ease."

catnip: hairy aromatic perennial herb having whorls of small white purple-spotted flowers in a terminal spike; used in the past as a domestic remedy; strongly attractive to cats

The Cat's Waltz: This Chopin composition is so named because when Chopin was composing his Waltz No. 3 in F major, his cat scrambled across the keys of his piano and he tried to reproduce the same sounds in his piece.

cat on a hot tin roof: means someone ill at ease, uncomfortable, not at home in a place or situation.

kit and caboodle: The caboodle in this American expression meaning "the whole lot," is the same as the word boodle, for "a pile of money," deriving from the Dutch boedal, "Property," The whole kit, of course, means entire outfit.

dead cat bounce: apparent recovery in stock prices: an apparent recovery from a major decline in stock prices resulting from speculators rebuying stock that they previously sold rather than from a genuine upturn in the market

cats and dogs: Speculative stocks with little or no track record

bell the cat: take a risk; perform a daring act

sweeten the kitty: adding chips to the pot in a poker game or for increasing the payment in any business deal.

cat the anchor: to keep the anchor clear of the ship by hanging it outside the vessel on a piece of timber called the cathead

dead cat on the line: there's something suspicious, something wrong

fight like Kilkenny cats : to fight bitterly until the end

cat's fur to make kitten britches :a joking nonsense reply to the question "What for?" or "What's that for?" It's a pun on the words for and fur, which are often pronounced identically.

walk the cat back: To attempt to understand the true nature of a situation by reconstructing events chronologically from the present to the past.

a cat can look at a king : No one is so important that an ordinary person cannot look at him or her. Everyone can be curious about important people.

do it in a cat's paw: Do something in a way that no one knows it is you doing it.

copycat : Some one who mimics someone else.

a cat in gloves catches no mice : Sometimes you cannot get what you want by being careful and polite.

all cats are gray in the dark: In the dark, appearances are meaningless.


nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs: restless; unable to relax

see which way the cat jumps: This phrase means to imply that we have to wait until things progress to see which way they go, one way or another.

ailurophobe: A person who is extremely fearful of cats, or who has an intense dislike of them.

ailurophile: Opposite of ailurophobe: a person who loves cats, or whose life revolves around them.

cat's pajamas: an excellent or special person or thing

skinning the cat: the expression "to skin the cat" refers to a boy's gymnastic trick

curiosity killed the cat : getting into life-endangering places and situations.

there's more than one way to skin a cat: recommends a change to stronger tactics

when the cat's away the mice will play: Without supervision, people misbehave.

put the cat among the pigeons : To stir up trouble, to cause dissension. The allusion is obvious.

the cat that swallowed the canary : which once meant to look guilty, but nowadays suggests smugness

I am unable to find the meaning for those phrases:

like a cat on hot coals

cat got your tongue

look what the cat dragged in


the cat who got the cream

the cat knows precisely whose meat it eats

only the cat covers up its own mess

the cat's cheers are the mouse's tears

New Cat Food for the 'Meow Meows'

Just came back from SN buying a pack of Aristo-cats brand dry cat for the community cats. I also bought a blue pouch that sister said look like sweetie and is cute. She even 'predicted' that i will buy the baby blue one as i always buy anything in blue.

I also going to buy nutro natural choice the next time i go to SN. not much info i can get abt aristo-cats except for the disney aristo-cats. Aristo-cats brand cost $6, the same price as whiskas. I am rather surprised that the new pet shop that i went to buy just now has a cheaper price range. Whiskas cost $7 at petmart while the shop i went to sell for only $6. I cannot get much info for aristo-cats dry food. The last time, the pet shop owner told me that aristo-cats wet canned food is good and i bought a can. I already had three cans of wet food but i had yet to feed sweetie and DD with the wet food. Mum said that wet canned food that is preserved food is not good for the cats. We always feed them white rice mixed with brown rice together with their favourite steam fish that mum bought from the mkt for 1kg - $5. The dry food that i bought today had a free canned aristo wet food. The cans are reserve food in case we went out and do not have time to prepare their food. I usually warm up the rice and mix the fish like baby food for my cats.

i buying the nutro brand later since i cannot be carrying 2 kg of cat food and walked all the way back to my house.
Nutro natual choice cost $13 ( i think but not more than $15). At first, i though of buying natural balance but it going to cost $35. Got budget to consider. I did a quick research again on nutro.i did that the last time but this time round, i already visited the pet shops to know the brands they are selling. I narrowed the two brands that i saw to IMAS and Nutro. IMAS as i found out just now is also similar to Science diet with BY-PRODUCT that are equally 'disgusting' to both me and the cats. Nutro seem a cheaper alternative for my cats.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -2005

Jennifer say:

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I had just finished watching "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". It's of course a new re-made movie starring Johnny Depp as the Famous owner of the chocolate factory, Willy Wonka. The 1971 version had Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
This is a review of the 1971 version (That i did not seen before or i forget i seen it):
http://www.dvdmg.com/willywonkase.shtml

As all can recalled, this movie is taken from Roald Dahl book of the same name. I loved Ronal Dahl books, he's one of my best actor when i was young.
Gene was rather unhappy abt the new remake version of "Charlie and the chocolate Factory", i wonder why he was unhappy in the first place. Without this new movie, ppl would never recall that he was the original actor as Willy in the first place. The orginal movie was made in 1971..that was donkey years ago.
This is how Johnny tried to defend himself against Gena remarks:
http://www.cbc.ca/story/arts/national/2005/07/08/Arts/depp050708.html


I am rather impressed with Johnny depp as Willy Wonka. His expression esp when he tried to stop the children from doing something wrong was funny and it alway ended up that the wrong was done when he said: "Little boy" or "little girl" and the "notty" girl or boy always did what willy try to stop but failed.

Reviews by others:
http://movie-reviews.colossus.net/movies/c/charlie_chocolate.html
This person did not really like the 2005 version:
In the movie, Willy said this: : "Everything in this room is edible. Even I'm edible."
(I think that this is only a movie, why care about what Willy said when the whole place is so beautiful, the movie part where willy said this is in a green field filled with edible chocolate.

http://www.filmfocus.co.uk/review.asp?ReviewID=91
This is a reviews by a number of ppl.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Let me start with the storyline:

5 children from all parts of the world whom won the "Golden tickets" for eating Wonka Chocolate were invited to Willly Chocolate factory that was the world largest factory.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz) was the first to discover the ticket. He loved to eat chocolate and was v happy when he bit a corner of the golden ticket off.
His "Fate" in the chocolate Factory:
Being a greedy boy, he dropped into the chocolate factory and was sucked to the chocolate making room.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
eruca Salt (Julia Winter) was the second person. She was a spolit brat born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She demanded her father to give her the ticket. Her father made his factory operators open tons of chocolate before finding the second tickets.
Her "fate" in the factory:
She tried to steal a squirrel whom was cracking nuts despite willy warning. The squirrels treated her as bad nut and dumped her into the garage area.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Violet Beauregarde (Annasophia Robb) was the third person. She was a "boxer". She boxed herself to one ticket.
Her "Fate" in the factory:
She eaten a chewing gum that had all flavours and bloated up like a blueberry.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry) was the forth person to win the ticket. He was a video game addict.
His "Fate" in the factory:
He refused to listen to Willy and entered room where he was transported to a mini version.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Charlie (Freddie Highmore) was the last person and the winner of the gift that Willy promised to give to one lucky kid. He was born poor. He managed to pick a note to buy the lucky chocolate to the last golden ticket.
Being the last kid (others was in trouble), Willy asked him to be the owner of the chocolate factory. Charlie refused as this meant seperation from his family. Willy did not understand why family was so important till Charlie asked willy to find Willy's dad. Willy's dad did not want willy to be so engrossed in chocolate but willy refused to listen and leave home to seek his fortune. He was rather successful in his chocolate factory. Willy find that his dad still love him.
The story ended with willy, charlie and charlie's family eating dinner inside the chocolate factory. so charlie did get the chocolate factory.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. He is the owner of the chocolate factory and a genius inventor. He choose to leave home to fulfil his dream of chocolate despite the objection of his father. He was rather afraid of his father. Many times for the children whom were invited to the factory, Willy refused to say the word "parents". When Willy realised his chcolate had lost the taste and there was a downfall of business, it was Charlie whom made willy know that he need his father love. Willy and his dad were reunited when Charlie and him took the glass lift to find Willy's father.

Now, what is so interesting abt this movie is the new fascination that Roald Dahl came up with: 1) The Chocolate is made of waterfall and there a river of chocolate flowing inside the factory. 2) There is a transparent lift that can move to any floor, up, down, left, right, and in the air. 3) Whipped cream meant whipping the cow for milk.(well, sound cruel) 4) Training squirrels to crack nuts. The squirrels are real and really trained for 6 months to crack nuts. here the link of the training: http://www.ohjohnny.net/charlie/charlie.html 5) A new innovation where TV viewers can grab chocolate rite from the TV to be eaten. 6) Chewing gum of all flavour (this sound like harry potter) 7) A place full of edible stuff-This is the first part of the factory tour 8) Sheep with pink fur to be made into cotten candy 9) A machine that suck the chocolate river directly into the chocolate making room 10) Finding oompa-loompas ppl to work for Willy because cocon beans were the tiny ones'whoship' item. (It sound interesting to have tiny ppl working for you) Well..comparision are for the better despite the bad review abt this new movie. I think this year 2005 has many movie remade: The house of wax, Charlie and the chocolate factory and amityville horror.

Good & Bad Cat food - dry

Jennifer say:

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
VenganCat recommended me to this site to find out more abt the brand of different cat food:

http://groups.msn.com/SingaporeCats/healthtalks.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=3487&LastModified

Science diet consist of by-products that are unfit for comsumption. It sound horrible. i will need to change my cat food again..

i had already changed mine three times:
Whiskas to Friskies to Science Diet
The prices also range differently:
$6.60 to $5.90( or $7.00 now) to $15.00

See how expensive is Science diet.
Vegcat recommended Natural Balance- i will check the price when i go to SN this sunday..need to top up cat food again.

Other than Natural Balance, i wonder what other choice i had--i read in the forum that buying premium food is a good investment as it protect ur cat from later vet treatment from unsafe food.

I am currently doing a quick research on Nature Balance..and come upon this website of the different brands:

http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/dept_brands.asp?dept%5Fid=5

All the logos look so attractive but the content and quality of the food say otherwise.

Premium Dry food for ur cats:
http://cats.about.com/cs/nutrition/tp/premdrycatfood.htm

Natural Balance is definitly a premium food, i may switched to NB.

Still lookin for more info

(After 10 minutes)

Comparsion of different brands from A to Z:
http://cats.about.com/cs/catfood/a/blmanu_ac.htm

Hmm..too much choice, i not yet decided on what to buy..but i definitly buying premium food.

(After 5 minutes)

I am so excited, i just found a very good site of the ingredients of cat food: (it actually list what different ingredients meant and how good is it for ur cat)
http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/lifegard/petfood/index.htm

(After 15 minutes)
I ended up with unlimited links for "premium dry cat food, my research for 'No by-products cat food" ended up better..
http://www.askvetadvice.com/petstore.shtml

This link give the top preimum food with no by-products..
I think i will buy:
Natural Balance, Nature Choice or Natura

Natura seem like a good brand:
Their website said they used food fit for human comsumption meaning no By-products:
http://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=about-natura

Nature brand include: innova, Callifornia Natural and Healthwise..

Ok rite, i am done with my research. Rather happy to learn so much abt by-products.

**Credit vegancat for telling me abt by-products and its harm to cats...

Black MixMix from Singapore Buddhist Lodge

This is black mix mix from Singapore Buddhist Lodge . Unlike Miao Hua, he do not have any offical buddhist name from the monk but it could be v soon too since he too love to listen to the scriptures chanted by the high monks. It look crowded that day, the buddhist book beside mixmix is for the afternoon chant at 1 pm. Big white dog (a white cat that is real big) was nowaday to be found at the day of the foto-taking.

***credit to sister..all fotos taken by her. Posted by Picasa

Miao Hua from Singapore Buddhist Lodge

This is Miao Hua that i mentioned in my earlier post. See how cool he is..I think there is someone sitting beside him. Miao Hua is sitting in the chanting hall of the main hall in the temple. He is always listening to the chants by the monks. He is quite a hot favourite among the ppl in the temple as he usually sit in the seats and listen to scriptures chanted by the high monks. Posted by Picasa

New Graphics CATS websites & More Cat stories

Jennifer say:

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
I added a number of websites with cute cat graphics including amination cats. A number of the sites have very cute picture of animation cats. It can be found in my sidebar. once u clicked the cute kitten, u can visit the sites. (noted that some sites got pop-up ads)

Back to my community cats, i still feeding the usual four that i feed daily-baibai, ginger, nana and baby.well..i used to called them 'stray' till i visited dawn blog to learn of this nicer name for them.

Big head had not appeared for many days, wonder what happend to him. He had found a new location - near the ground floor unit of my block. I think he was taken inside the house and adopted by the malay family-that what i think since i never chat with the malay family down my block.

Baibai's wound has recovered, now look pinkish and there is fur growing back slowly.

Baby as usual follow ginger around- back to our block. so cute to see baby playing with ginger. They are actually siblings. Ginger was adopted by a lady named doris but unfortunately ginger make too much noise, fearing the safety of doris other two cats, (well..HDB do not allow cats in home) so Ginger needed to be in the wild. Initally, ginger did meow very loudly (for a long time) and hide in the drain. But soon, he become more happy and his meow although was still very loud, is not so frequent. He always meow loudly when he saw us..it is his unique way of saying "Hi" to us. I think ginger look happier in the wild..he used to be very thin, now he grow fatter. I had been feeding him chicken soup for days and he enjoy eating chicken meat that i deboned the meat daily.


here is playful ginger foto again(similar one that i used the last time since i do not have the other fotos)

Singapore Buddhist Lodge has three to five cats. All are sterilized. A certain cat (orange taddy) is now a official temple cat. The high monk has given her a name called 'miao hua'. Apparently, miao hua (Big ring as i called him) always sit in the main hall, listening to the chants. This is so called"has a fate with buddha" (if u translate in chinese). There is another black cat that equally tame. I love the big white cat with lovely blue eyes the most. He rubbed me at our first meeting..so sweet. Those cats are really lucky to have such a nice place to live and with the blessing of the monks, they lived a rather secure life.

TVB- The academy

Jennifer say:

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Noted: spoliters included for those whom did not watched this show...And i placing chinese character in this blog for the actor names only and i think it going to come up in symbols as usual but never mind since i can preview it myself..sorry for the funny symbols.

I had just finished esp 29 to 31 of TVB: The academy. It's a v nice show. When my sister was in HK in Feb, HK was already showing this show and my sister was telling me how good is the drama.

What is the drama abt:
A group of newbies 'adventure' in police academy, this drama show a very detailed info of the training in the police academy for 27 weeks. Unlike other police detective drama like 'Detective Investigation Files' or 'Armed Reaction', the drama do not have any major crime investigation where the CID need to solve. Instead, the drama shows heart-warming cases of the newbies trying to learn to be a good policemen/women.eg
1) A woman cadet whose father would soon be chased out of the house because of the amount of junks the dad kept in the house. Upon learning abt the woman cadet plight, the fellow cadets helped to clear the house for the father.
2) A son who try hard to become a police realised that he had minor depression that make him unable to fulfil his father's dream of hoping his son to follow his footstep to be a policeman. The father realised his son was not happy with the stress of becoming a policeman and allow his son to follow his dream that is to set up a business.
3) A cadet completed a race against a rival class..even when the cadet know he will lose the match, he carried on running despite a bleeding knee and eventually completed the race with the cheers of his classmates

These are just little esp that make this drama so warming..i cried or had 'red' eyes on several parts..towards the ending, i was crying also.

Here the real spoliters:
Toward the ending, the cadat's coach'Lee' was killed. So sad, i wonder why the production must make Lee died when firstly,
Lee just found his long lost son,
secondly, his first love finally agreed on a date with him...but sadly before all this could happend, he died.

I cried for the parts where
1) at the hospital, Lee hold his hand out to his son and said' sorry'. Lee never knew he had a son because that time, Lee's lover left him without letting him know. It was the son's grandfather whom told Lee.
2) The Class that Lee taught at the police acadmy heard of Lee's news in the cafe.
3) The class realised that Lee had died in the duty
4) The part where Lee son's recall what Lee had done.

Here the lead character:
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
韋柏翹﹝陳鍵鋒飾) Sammul Chan - Lei Pa Kiu
He's Lee son. He only learnt of his birth father when Lee died. Pa Kiu hide his feeling a lot but it was Lee that taught him to reveal his inner mind. Pa Kiu entered the police academy because he need to earn money to let his grandpa had a better life. His mum died in the US and when he returned, he joined the academy. Pa Kiu's love is Fiona,Ma Hoi Lum. At first, Pa Kiu did not want to date with Fiona as he think he cannot match Fiona in term of family background. Fiona was a rich girl and Pa kiu grandpa worked as a gardener in Fiona's house. At a dance party, Pa Kiu scolded Fiona for forcing him to have the first dance with her. They began a cold war before Pa Kiu eventually realised that he loved Fiona and wish to date with her.

鍾立文﹝吳卓羲飾﹞ Ron Ng - Zhou Lup Mun
He is the rush type of person that act without thinking before his police academy coach, Lee turned him into a nicer person. Lup Mun entered the academy because he wished to anger Lee (the academy coach). Lup Mun 's parents was ungoing a divorce and in order to prevent Lup Mun from trying to make Lup Mun to reconcile the dad to the mum, the mum lies that Lee was counting her. This created a misunderstanding where Lup Mun hated Lee. Toward the end of the show, Lup Mun realised that Lee was actually a good coach. This was only when he realised that his dad was cheating on his mum and all along, Lee helped his mum by mental and financial support. Lup Mun love Ho Fa (Tavia Yeung). Their love did not come easily and smoothly because:
1) Ho fa's brother was jailed when Lup Mun caught him pickpocketing in the street
2) Ho fa's whole family were pickpockets for an additional income
Eventaully, Ho fa become Lup mum gf as ho fa's family supported her decision esp her brother whom told Fa to pursue her true love.

李文昇﹝苗僑偉飾﹞Lei Mun Sing (Michael Miu)
He was the coach at the police academy. He was very strict to the cadets because he wished them to have self-discipline and take the training seriously. He and pa Kui livin in the same house. Pa Kui's mum was Mum Sing lover before Pa Kui's mum left Mun Sing.Pa Kui or Sunny loved Lup mun's mum, ivy. Ivy did not accept sunny's love as fear of rejection from Ivy children's Lup mum and miki. Sadly, on the day Ivy accepted sunny love, sunny died.Their love was somehow a drag in this show...i did not really liked to watched the love development of them.

I esp liked the part where Pa kui and Mun Sing chatted in the house. At first, Pa Kui did not speak to Mun Sing but soon, they began to chat and went out together to fish. Pa Kui was in fact Sing real son. Mum Sing only learnt of the truth when Pa kui's stepfather tried to cheat Pa Kui's money and told him that Pa Kui was not his real son. Pa Kui never know that his current dad was not his birth father till his grandfather revealed the secret. Sadly, Mun Sing died of a gun wound.

Fiona (as in her real name) was quite cute in this show. See how short is her hair. Girls cadets need to shorten their hair when they entered the academy. She entered the academy as she wished to meet her hero, Mun Sing. Mun rescused her from a trapped car two years ago and since then, Fiona wished to become a policewoman to meet her hero. Fiona was a super rich girl and her mum opposed her to be a policewoman. Fiona loved Pa Kiu and tried very hard to win him. When Fiona's mum tried to matchmate fiona to a rich man's son, Fiona objected to this badly as she know that she only love Pa Kiu . At the annoucement of a supposed marriage proposal, fiona purposly invited Pa Kiu for a first dance that Pa Kiu rejected immediately. Pa Kiu was not happy that fiona embarrassed him by asking for the first dance unprepared. In truth, fiona invited Pa Kiu for the first dance as she wanted Pa Kiu to know she love him. After their cold war, their relationship turned better and they ended up together altought pa kiu asked fiona to wait till they completed their 27 weeks of training to begain their offical dating. Fiona was duped twice in this drama by her stupid handphone:
1) kidnapped when Ho Fa's brother got fiona hp number and asked her for a coffee chat. in fact, Ho fa's brother owned money and was forced to duplicate a key from fiona.
2) Duped of $10 000 from Ka Kiu's stepfather whom try to get fiona hp number by asking to call her phone to his own phone, thus getting fiona's number. Once getting the number, the dad asked fiona to lend him $10000 for a deposit on a US farmhouse that do not exist

In real life, Fiona is a popular singer in HK.

何花﹝楊怡飾﹞ Ho Fa (Tavia Yeung)-
Ho fa was born in a family of pickpockers. I do not want to mention more of her characters as i am rather sick of her face. TVB seem to use her on almost every drama. She loved Lup Mun and they ended up together with the support of both their families.

Trial Test with new picture hosting site

I am currently using picasa to host my website fotos. Quite easy to use but there lot of features that i had yet to figure out. Use baibai foto to test. The feature allow u to link ur foto to blogger immediately, i duno if i can send more fotos at one go to the same post. will experiment with more fotos later.

I used to host in www.photobucket.com. I had already set two account in photobucket, i also like using photobucket but there is limited feature-it simply allow u to host online fotos only.

Picasa is introduced by digital time in strait time today. It look cool and best of all, it is free like photobucket.

BaiBai-father bai

Yesterday, sister managed to take fotos of baibai. His wound had recovered and he has returned to coming out in the night as usual. When his wound was really bad, he kept hiding inside the multi-carpark, i guess to recover. I am happy that he is doing fine now...I called him father bai as he is the 'foster' father of baby. He and baby are inseperable. Now baby is not so close to father bai as baby wants to play with ginger. Posted by Picasa

Lizzie
She joined our mini zoo 8 to 10 years ago. She quite big but not as old as ah-bob. My sister bought her at a market for $3. She's quite active, will kick her water if she see me coming..

Ah-bob smiling to u :)
She joined our mini zoo family 14-15 years ago. She's quite big also. Occasionally, she surprises us by laying eggs in her water. Of course, no mini bob since she a individual she. Ah-bob used to stay with her brother, xiaofei. Sadly, feifie died on mar 2003 of a tumour. Since then, poor bob stays alone. I tried placing lizzie to stay with her but they fighted. So now, they stay in seperately.

My sister called them the forgotten one..well, not really lol since i will changed their water every night while dad changed them in the morning and i also feed them in the morning.

went to take more fotos of nana again. At first, we planned to take fotos of baby but she nowwhere to be found..

Sit up attention.

Yesterday, we kept hearing mimi crying. Mimi is a little kitten that someone had in his home. I know becoz i saw mimi's owner taking her with a rope around her neck and expecting her to pee in the grass. but mimi was only a 15 cm kitten, no mummy and she duno what on earth was her owner expecting her to do by dumping her on the green grass. Anyway mimi owner did not talk to us, so i only watched from a distance at mimi. We only saw mimi two times and she did not appeared down our block since then. My sister named her mimi since she cried in a little mimi sound. Ya, back to yesterday, we kept hearing it meowing from an unknown unit. Sister and I went hunting for the unit that kept mimi but were unsucessful.

Finally A new layout

Jennifer say:

I had finally created a new layout with cats that i love..these cats are:

NaNa (NutNut)
ginger
DD
And sweetie

They look so cute

One thing abt this new layout is i cannot make my chinese character come out..it just goes @#$% and when i preview, it's ok but once i publish it, it come out in werid character.

I will try to put the code for the previous post and achieve (where all ur post entries link are).. There's another glitch when u click on the link to my previous post too, if u link, u cannot see the sidebar text anymore..it's replaced by all my codes..but my main post had a link back to my home page so i think it is ok although it look messy..

Overall rating of my first layout (well..i used a premade one to help me): 6/10.

I will try to do the following:
1) Add back my clock mouse
2) Add back my bottom word instead of the "DONE" that u see at the bottom of this site
3) Add back my midi files
4) Add back the Archives Link to my earlier posts

Ten Reasons Why I hated Cockroaches...

Jennifer say:

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Yesterday, i was in brother room when i saw a black thing flying past my head..Without even stopping to stare with the 'foreign object', i fled out of the room, leaving a puzzled and curious sweetie staring at the 'object' that flying against the wall near the door.

I then screamed at my mum of the cockroach inside the room..Mum then went in and began her elimination mission. Mum spotted the cockroach when she saw sweetie staring at the fan. Then mum went out to get an newspaper. When she returned, again sweetie helped her to chase the cockroach and use sweetie radar eyes to see the roach movement. Then, sweetie cornered the roach to a corner of the wall..NO escape Finally and once again, Mum completed her mission successfully with sweetie help.

I really hated cockroaches..here my TOP 10 reasons:

1) They always appear near me, either above my head or near the wall where i am standing
2) They stink
3) They always fly around and try to 'come' near me
4) They always appear out of nowwhere and disappear out of nowhere but i know they are there
5) They are dirty
6) They like to hide in tiny place - like my toy bag when i was small or the shoe box
7) They give me 'heart attack'
8) They always come in pairs with babies
9) They do not have an sense of direction, just flying blindly at anywhere and stopping anywhere,including our clothes
10) Dead, they still make the room stink

I know how tiny roaches are, but to me, i really hated them..now, mum got a assistant to help her with the elimination mission. great..
