Sorry if you don't like Jimmy Lin

I used to LOVE HIM A LOT during my primary school days. Whenever I looked at his photos, I would smile automatically. I must agree that the "cute" word in dictionary should include his photo.Hahahaha.. A new year is coming, when I look back, these were the days I missed the most, sharing idols' photo card, collection of anything about our idol from cassettes, idol magazines to key chains and T-shirts. Mind you, I still remember every songs of his and after karaokin' , I switched off the computer with teary eyes... Suddenly, I miss my school days and miss all my old friends.

Calling for all Class 1A-6A (1989-1994) San Min (1) TI, Perak. If you are one of my blog readers, leave me a msg.

My New Hobbies?

I used to take at least 2 hours to groom Smoochie when he was in full length coat with a handsome topknot. Yeah, that was really long ago. I stopped keeping his long coat after my dad moved in with us.

Handsome Smoochie, Sleepy Twistie

Annie from APC is our furballs' groomer. Time flies, I still remember the first time I met her, I was still a nursing student. She is a wonderful pet groomer, lots of TLC and patience. Most of the time I saw her handled dogs, they become so tame under her care. That's why I always think is not easy to become a groomer --->IS GIFTED. Not every groomers can tame dogs like she could.

So since I've stopped working, I have plenty of time with S & T. Smart Ben bought me something today and told me to start learning how to clip them. Don't worry, I am not professional but I do have 5 years experience of grooming a Shih Tzu. I was taught about the basic grooming -clipping nails, pucking ear hairs, cleaning ears, shaving the front muzzles...

The purpose of the clipper is not so much of saving cost, I just need to clip their hairs regularly, esp. Twistie for his skin problem, it will make it easier for us to apply oilment and checking on his skin pigmentation. As for their bi-monthly full grooming session, looks like it may be every trimonthly.

Haha, we are still loyal customers to APC!

Twistie's hair are like cotton, beary cute right? but difficult to maintain.

Now I am going to share about maintaining their coat. Ans: Good shampoo, conditioner and supplement--> SG Flaxseed Oil (Smoochie loves it). Why am I so proud about it? I ever lost Smoochie for 4 days and how did I find him back? A neighbour of his "new owner" told me his existance at the neighbour's house and wanted to know how did I maintain his coat!

Their food? SG Holistique Blenz Adult Dog (Fish). I believe in giving them good food, those funny brands out there are cheap as they contain bi-product, additive and high in sodium. So expensive? Is never cheap to keep a dog as your pet and why keep a dog if you can't afford to give him/her a good life?

That's why I always say," if you think is expensive, you shouldn't have kept any in the first place."

Makan Session?

I know I know..from the photos, it does look like another makan session for us today, half yes and half no!

We, I mean the Lian's family, parents, Ben and I met at Maxwell Market today for lunch and I was so happy ---> to be able to eat Xing Xing odeh ondeh, Famous peanut soup with peanut filled dumpling, Tian Tian Chicken Rice !

See, is always good to have many people eating out at a famous food centre, I can order many food at one go and share with many people...Still, I think I am over fed.
Our main reason for meeting up today is to go SIM LIM Square. Yeah, to get some stuff for Chris's computer. After spending a thousand dollar, we had dinner at Whampoa Food Market. Here we ordered Fish Head Hot Soup Pot! Total Damage :$30 for 4 adults and 1 child.

YUM YUM ---> worthy! Will definitely come again..

山顶茶餐厅

I remember saying we will not come here again after our last visit but since everyone has not been here so we decided to come here again to try out their 煮炒. To our surprise, it was not bad and parents like the dishes we ordered. Here we have Fong, coming all the way from Ipoh to celebrate Christmas with us.

Our orders : 海南猪扒， 海鲜豆腐，清炒芥兰花，咕佬鸡肉，锅贴

Total Damage including drinks : $90

After that, we called it a day with our all-time favourite dessert at 豆花城.

...Just The Two Of Us...

We are a little bit too old to join the crowd in town.
I know I know, we are not that old afterall, just find it difficult to get home if we were to travel all the way to town and I don't really like human jam.

Well, well, back to the topic..
Ben wanted something romantic and knowing that is impossible to get any tables at any restaurants at this moment, we decided to cook something (together) for tonight.

Merry Christmas to my lovely husband...*smooch*

p/s : It is also mumu's *imaginary* birthday today.. Happy Birthday Smoochie !

BEN & I WISH YOU ALL

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS
