What my students think of me

On the 16th of May, we (Malaysian) celebrated Teachers' Day to commemorate the teachers for their efforts. By having celebrations on Teacher's Day we convey the message that we care for our teachers. Celebrating Teachers Day is recognition of the devotion with which teachers undertake the responsibility of educating a child.

As for myself being a great typical teacher, this is the first time I received a hand made card from my students :D (I know I failed being a teacher for not being appreciated all these while *sad*)

After flipping through the card, I was so touched and I finally know what my students think of me!

P/S: I never wear short pant to school >_<"

hmm...my student's doodle of me somehow looks familiar.....Oh!! I think I know where I saw it!

My Inspiring Mom

Mother's day is just around the corner, so here's a short story about my mom and how she inspires me.

This is my mom

My mom was a very athletic person in nature. She has been doing all sorts of exercises almost every night after her long day of work. She had her Tai Chi session 3 days a week, traditional dance practices every Sunday morning and her routine jogging session every Saturday evening.   

I think I'm pretty much influenced by her that I picked up basketball when I was in secondary school. I might not be a very good player but at least I'm a frequent player during the evenings at Tabuan Jaya's basketball court.

Now that my mom had almost comes to her 70s', she still continues with her exercising routine and age never stops her down. Even my dad were brought along during her exercise session, be it the Tai Chi session or the traditional dance session.

Even though my parents were already at these age, they still make sure that they get enough exercises to remain healthy and active mentally. I'm always proud of them and I'm making sure that I go for sports as much as possible.

Here's my wishes to all mothers in the universe, 

Happy Mother's Day and Stay Healthy always!

In conjunction of Mother's day, Jacobs' Malaysia had organised a story writing competition. Submit your mom's inspiring story then you might win an Osim massage chair or other attractive prizes!

I submitted my entry with an animation. Enjoy! :D

The born of Avangers - puppies version

Avengers' fever were all around the town and even my newly born puppies were so into it!

Our little Lala gave birth to three cute little puppies last Monday night! She showed her sign of delivery during the evening when she only took a few bites of her dinner the locked herself up in her plastic cube.

Everything started when Lala started to feel the pain and start having clear fluid flowing out.

Just by looking at her face, you could feel the pain...

The following contains images that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion advised. >_<"

This was the first thing that came out. FYI, it's a dog's placenta

Lala was actually having trouble delivering the first puppy because it was in a feet-first position. i had no choice but to help her to pull the puppy (very gently) while cold-sweating like hell. I was so afraid that I might just pull off the legs >_<" luckily it came out fine! 

The Big bro! white/brown puppy that looks exactly like Kiki!

After 2 hours of rest, Lala started to deliver her second baby! (almost 2 o'clock in the morning) Thank goodness that it came out without much helps from us!

After the stressful delivery, Lala took a short nap and so do us! Usually the mother dogs will deliver each baby in a 2 hours interval. Thus the next baby was out around 4 am in the morning!!!!!!

The third puppy have a darker fur compare to the first two.

Here's a combo photos of the 3 of them!

They have not open their eyes yet since they were only almost a week old. Hopefully they'll have the eyes open by next week! Will post more photos next week! 

To end this post, here's the family photo of the mother and children! 

(Please ignore the curry-coloured thingy -_-")

What I did when I'm alone (Part I)

Last week, Egg was away from home and thus, I was left alone with Kiki & Lala for almost the whole week! We were "like a boss" when Egg was not around >_<"

Even though I've been cooking all these while but the menu when Egg was around was different from the menu when I'm alone.

This is what I cook when Egg is around...

This is what I cook when I'm alone...

*Have been trying to do my version of all the RAGE faces XD

Our Little Lala is no longer little

Remember the first day when we brought Kiki & Lala home June last year, they were only 3 months old (born in 28th March 2011). Just by looking at their size, they were almost as big as my shoe and their baby fur still grows all over them.

Now that time had passed, they've grown big and more importantly, they are as healthy as ever. Running up and down as if our house was their play ground. Well, i do let them to run freely in our back yard sometime but due to the fact that they will get ticks easily, I had to wash them every time they've done running in the grasses and mud.

Few months ago (before CNY), we noticed Kiki had been harrasing Lala all day long. We suspected that Lala was on heat so we separated them in different cages. However, Kiki was restless trying to "attack" Lala from the "back"..Without much choices, we had to bring Kiki to my in-law's place (papa egg and mama egg).

We do sometime bring Lala over to visit Kiki, after all, they were separated by force and indeed, they missed each other madly. They'll start running around the car porch and hide under the cars. I guess that's when the trouble starts.

2 weeks ago, we noticed Lala had a swollen stomach but the strange thing is, she had been behaving normally and eating as much as usual. Something smells fishy (we do sometime give her fish oil -_-").

We brought her to the vets and it was confirmed that she's pregnant! We even get her an Ultrasonic Scan just to make sure that everything was alright. The vet counted and estimated that there'll be at least 5 puppies!!

Now that the rice had turned into porridge, we'll just have to make sure that Lala will be able to deliver all the pups and may all of them survive!

So...who's the culprit?

Anyone with experiences here? Do share with us some tips on pregnant dogs :D

Anyway, guess which carpet did I use to wipe my feet? >_<

Back to Square One

It has been 3 years since we started to blog during the last quarter of 2008. Everything was fresh and we have so much ideas and stuff for our little blog.

However, when time passes, our ideas were draining off and the blog's content becomes more and more boring until it reaches a state where we squeeze what ever things we have in mind and blog about it just for the purpose of updating our blog at least once a week.

Not only that we were pretty much out of ideas to blog, life began to change when all types of commitments came into our life. Whether it was from our job or from our family, we were somehow being dragged further and further away from our dream of being bloggers.

We've got tired... We even thought of isolating this blog and start putting all our focus on our real life out there.

We're not sure how long will this blog last, but if we stop now everything will definitely end right away. Thus, we decided to go back to square one and search for the burning passion that once we possessed 3 years ago.

This post gave me the idea to redesign our blog's header "back to square one: where everything starts with a pencil".

Do you still draw with pencil? or you prefer "draw something"?? Egg has been playing it on her iPad recently while she only do the guessing and I do most of the drawings.
