Phui Phui

Here's how little phui phui looks like. :)

I've got 10 million pics that I've taken. Plus video clips of doing naughty things like biting curtains and cushions and furniture. He has since graduated with a first class honors on that and have gone on to plug heads. Which is a big NO-NO. Have to watch him like a hawk now - I wouldn't want to come home to find my precious little baby being electrocuted.

The Dino loses its battle to little phui

Morning update :

sigh... the dinosaur has lost its edge on our little, playful little phui phui. his being bulldozed and biten and the neck. dragged from one end of the room to the other end. Phui will try to topple him, and then make him send on all his four snubby green legs again.

Its extremely entertaining to watch that little rascal play actually. Its amazing the way he puts the toy dinosaur stand upright like it should. Phiu will push the plastic level on the bottom side of the dino to make the toy screeching. It took me by surprise that a little puppy is able to do that on his own!!!

Not to mention that he did manage to open up his own cage and swagger out while momoo and I are out working and his baby-sitter has not arrive!

Surprise ! Surprise! I wonder if Phui is from some outerspace who can perform weird actions that most normal dogs don't do. Of course, saying that with the movie Good Boy in mind. :P Just that, Phiu Phiu can't talk - unlike Hobbo, the dog from that movie.

Finally the Dino Wins

Phui Phui's hidding from his brand new toy - its a toy dinosaur which makes screeching noise. His so afraid of it that he hops back and forth in front of the plastic toy ever so often. He tries to push it, poke it and sniff at it. But strangely, even though the toy remain all so still, he is still worried that the dinosaur will become alive and snip him on his little mouth... ..

This was exactly what happened while he was playing with it yesterday. Somehow he manage to bite himself while playing with the toy. From then on, he thinks that it is the toy that ACTUALLY bit him. Plus the screeching noise the dino makes ... it makes even more forbidding to him.

His even having nightmares while he sleeps recently. He will bark softly in his sleep and his little paw will move as though his running... Sooo adorable. :) I hope his not dreaming that his being chased by the dinosaur... or maybe, he is!

Poor little phui phui.

Momoo and I brought him to the dog run over the weekends and everyone adored him. But, its a trend that people will usually go as follows :

doggie owner : his sooo adorable - how old is he ?

me/momoo : thank you. :) his coming to 4months soon - but, really cheeky.

doggie owner : his really tough for a little puppy... whats his name?

me/momoo : phui-phui

doggie owner : *puzzled*

me/momoo : phui as in fat ? fat-fat...
(at this point, momooo will grow a little red)

doggie owner : ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... phui! hahaha...
come here phui phui - you're so cute....


Momoo says that I'm not doing justice to phui phui to name him like an ah-beng dog.... hmmmmm... very ah beng meh? Ok-what... i think very cute leh....

Honestly, I thought its kinda cute - rather then naming him some really serious name like Bruce .. or Terry.... We wanted to call him Terror.. but then again, a name makes a person. In this case, a dog. I don't want to have a terror dog that terrorise people. So, hence, the name phiu phiu stick on.

Local flavour.... very nice. :)

Is it very ah beng???? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Phui-Phui.... Phui-Phui... I love Phui Phui.

More Update - an addition to the family

I have made some decisions to my blog. I have to be honest that it hasn't been a great effort put in - a short 5-min slip-shot task, with intermittent shopping in progress.

Have been tied up with a little addition to our new family. He loves playing with laundry poles excessively. He burps like a grown man and farts like his taken 3-tonn load of milk and eggs. YIKES... All of that coming in a 3-pound, stubby legged, fox ear-ed little terrier. His part terrier, part bull dog and part dalamatian... Adding up to be a little terror mania to curtains, furniture, shoes, wires, laundry poles..... a stubborn little being, but knows exactly how to steal your heart. AKA - Phui Phui Lim.

His our little bull terrier that we brought home early last week and his been a handful since. However - being fair, I have to say that his absoulately obedient to boot - except for some minor "hiccups" when it comes to the tempting bite-the-laundry-pole-exercise. Phui Phui is overly obsessed with that undesirable hobby of his... he gives up everything when told to do so..... well, except for that.

He took to bitting on sofa cushions, curtains and wires -- under close supervision, he has learnt that it was not wise to do. Usually that will result in being smacked on his little behind, a stern eye and being ignored eventually. Since then, his given up bitting all these - except for the laundry pole!

He sleeps alot - thats when there seem to be a halo on his head and those little horns on his head and his fork disappear from his front right paw. phew!!! peace on earth... you might even hear the angels singing silent time in the background.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............*snore*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
*snore*

Oh, did I mention he snores too - his like a disgusting boy! Either he burps loudly, or breaks wind worse then a skunk can beat and snores like a big fat 200-pounder.

Strangely, Phui Phui is not difficult to love - his absoluately adorable and despite the fact that its a common belief that bull terriers are fierce, fighting dogs - you'll be surprise to know that he and his kind are affectionate and needs all the attention they can get from their owners.

Alright - I better get some serious work moving before that little terror wakes up and demands all my attention. His been sleeping for more then an hour, which is usual for a little puppy of 3months. His born on the 12th Jun 2006 -- can't wait for his first birthday. But, from now till then, I better enjoy all the time I have to hold him and carry him around. He's going to grow into about 60pounds. By then - he'll be more then 1/2 my weigh.

My dear little phui phui ... hope he'll grow into a big, nice boy.

The Star Search of 2006

"..... so what advise would you give to the Idol finalists ?" Gurmit Singh, aka, the screamer, asks the panting Rei-En after her "spectacular" performance...

she blabbered on some thing that neither momoo nor me were listening, because we were coming up with some that she should actually be saying.

for 1 ) you've seen that display of a performance.. That, itself. NEVER do that.
2) Do not crinch your face in that way when you are singing. it makes it painful to watch
and lastly 3) do not move so much because its distracting.

Obviously, whatever she has just performed was an excellent lesson of what the idol finalist should NEVER-NEVER-NEVER do. It was horrific! To be honest, it was really bad, and seems like her publicity stunt was a backlash on her, promoting her as multi talent.

Strangely, i can't remember the song that she was singing, all I remember was how painful it was to watch her sing.

So idols wannabe.. DO NOT do that. (",)

SuperNova was the direct opposite. Awesome show!

Mid Week Wednesday Snipplets.

feeling absoluately listless... I've been feeling that way since 2 weeks ago - just no motivation to work anymore.

11:30am
------------------------------------------
Back at my desk - feeling more alive definately - after my teh-ci-ka-ci-peng... yes, definately a lengthy name for a drink. Essentially, its just tea with extra milk and of course, ice!

For such a hot day -- its the perfect drink.

Feeling less harrassed today, unlike yesterday where I was attending a training - its not the training that was made me feel that way. Its the after mirth of it. I have no back up, so issues that required my attention popped out in the red zone... Thankfully, all has been resolved. Its cruise time.....

Thank God.

Blog faces and what nots

I've been thinking of it -- yes, very much about it laterly... too much of it actually.... should I ? Could I ? Maybe I should ? Maybe I shouldn't ... hmm... do I really have the time to do it ?

Yes, I am contemplating if I should revamp my blog - honestly, its been having this face for more then 2 years? And, its high time to change -- looking kinda of boring if I might add. Its got well close to no character. Not much of a life either. Things have been so intense that its so so so so tough to blog. I hardly get to meet up my friends, let alone blog. Strangely, I haven't been thaaat busy with zillion of stuff going on. But, I just wanted to take time to enjoy what I am doing now. I want to enjoy my new home.

So... if you were wondering why I have become exceptionally 'dao'* over this period of time... well... I guess, there's always a season for something. Not that you as a companion has been made use of and discarded --- NO NO NO... God forbide that. That's not that I mean... What I mean is, one will come to a time where spending time with someone you love supersedes everything or everybody else. Not that friends are no longer important, they are always important. However, at this point of time, it is a crucial stage with you and your other half and putting in effort and time will nurture the relationship.

Thankfully, my friends around me understands the phase that I am going through, which I am thankful for. I am sure its not easy for them, and i do appreciate their understanding. (",) Thanks ladies. You especially LB, Miss No-longer-Maple-crazy and, definately, SQ.

It hasn't been easy trying to tell friends that you can't meet them up over the weekends like we always do because, I have to tend to my new home and my momoo... I know most people will snub me instantly when they hear that... Why-is-your-world-n-lifestyle-revolving-around-him- attitude... or the girl-you-got-to-get-your-own-space/time/activity .... yada-yada-yada.

I do appreciate your concern girls... but honestly, it isn't a chore to spend time with momoo at all... hmm... i don't really know how to explain this in words. So, i'm trying as hard as I can to convey this phase of life in my blog.

Lets see... there's a phrase that always says quality time beats quantity time - an hour of hardwork will always be better then 8hours of idle. I do agree to some extend in some situations, but not for all. Especially on time one spend with a love one. I use to be a believer in 'having-enough-breathing-space' from my partner. I am an advocate for that. Was. Meeting momoo has made me realise that I was off on that take. Both Momoo and I wish we had more time together every other day. We wish we had more time to do things together... or, at times, we wish had more time to do nothing together. Just simply lazing around, watching the news, reading the news paper, sive through idle magazines and mail. We just never find that we have enough time together though we try to spend almost all of our free time together. It is only during these times, do I understand that quantity time do supersedes quality time. When it comes to a person my dears, there's no such thing as quality time.... its the quantity time that's important. Have you ever hear of stories where husbands and wives goes a separate direction as they simply do not have enough time for one another. I'm sure that they have plenty of 15-min to a couple hours of quality time... but, understanding someone, is beyond what quality time can give.

I'm not certain if it makes any sense to me. But, quality vs quantity -- it never is applicable for relationships. If you want an enriching relationship - with your mum, your partner.. or anyone, spend quantity time.

Ladies, honestly, spend as much time with your mother as possible - once you get married, you'll wish you had spend more time with her. Trust me on this one. Even now - have 1 or 2 coffee lesser with your pals. Spend time with mum, watching dvds or just chit chat. You'll never regret that decision later on. :)

Here's to better and deeper relationships shared with our love ones.

(Dao = obnoxious. Not exactly what you can understanding by drawing a parallel from that english word. So, if you don'tunderstand what it means... go ask someone else lah)
