One fine morning

It's on Wednesday, Fei got early meeting, hence we opted to go to work by bike, turned up to be a bad idea. As usual, we took the highway from Juru Auto-City towards Penang bridge, I saw a few motorcyclist stopped by the roadside, while some guys changing their tyres, not uncommon, I said to myself.

After taking the turn to Penang Bridge, leaving the tol plaza, I felt my tyre was running flat too! &@#$^&^(*()$%$... what better way to start our day? No choice, quickly slow down, put my side signal, park my motorbike as close to the side as possible. Then...wait....

Managed to unplug a nail from my tyre which was quite new.

Finally(15 mins later) one nice guy arrived, offer to help fix my bike, charged me RM20, which considered quite cheap already.

While he was fixing it, I show him the nail. Straight away, he knew we were from Auto-City, as he fixed a few on the way too, the same type of nails seems to be the culprit. Well, what can I say, this was the same incident reported by local newspaper couples month ago. The nails were there for a purpose, and we are the lastest victim. I really hope the guy who fixed my bike does not involved in this, if not, I want my RM20 back!

How often can you stand on the bridge, watching thousands of vehicles passby, while enjoying the haze all the way from Indonesia?

End up...Fei was late for her meeting...

Updates- rest in peace

Lack of update recently, nothing much happened, except our camera run out of batt, and I just owned a new handphone. Camera still ran out of batt now, hence the pictures below were taken using my hp's camera.

Our over-grown kailan

Our healthy cili-padi

Same expressions from Coco, Lucas and Sam. Hoping the food could somehow drop-off while I'm having dinner.

Sam is growing pretty fast. She gain 600g the first week we brought her home. (3kg to 3.6kg)

Coco has the luxury to share the sofa with Fei

We never mentioned "Shrek" in our blog, he was one of the neighbourhood dog, who played with Mary everyday/night when there was a chance. We found out from Mary's owner that the Majlis Perbandaran's dog shooters were here last week, both Mary and Shrek were caught. Luckily Marry's owner witnessed the incident and was able to claim Marry on time, with the excuse that there was a dog-tag (lesen anjing) with Mary. Unfortunately Shrek did not have one, and he was executed near the children's playground.

Before I found out that Shrek has gone missing, his owner (an indian boy) asked me whether I've seen him or not, it was unusual that Shrek did not return to his owner for one whole day. Even now that I know why Shrek gone missing, I will keep this cruel fact from him, he's still a very young boy, can he take it?

From Mary's descriptions, Mary was cruelly dragged along the street to the execution spot (which is near to Mary's house), she suffered from cuts and bruises. She was in shock for few days, keeping herself within her house without stepping out.

Her owner decided to keep her within the house compound, to avoid the same tragedy. There was a time when Mary managed to escape, her owner found her sat still in-front of Shrek's house. I bet she missed her best playmate.

Shrek had been a good boy all this while, playful and energetic. We had some fun moments with him since he was a puppy. We missed him, and hope that he enjoys himself in dog's heaven.

24th June 2008

Yes, this is the date when our family got new member - Samantha!
And this is the date we couldn't sleep well at night... due to her long lasting energy crying whole night...
This is the date Coco has new companion! Not sure whether is his sister or his wife... see how they mix along... hehe...
She is one month + now, exact date of birth still unknown now... will update soon...
Picture? Yes... update soon...

Samantha

Everybody says hello to Samantha! New member to our home.

She is Daschund/Rotweiler mix, but we are not sure how she gonna look like when she grow bigger. She is active, talkative and adoreable as what a 1.5 months old puppy would be.

How much?

"You have a nice dog there!"
"Oh thank you, his name is Coco."
"It's Hush Puppies right? How much?"
"It's from my friend...Coco let's go..."

Sounds like a normal conversation between either me or Fei with any other strangers who finds our Coco is adoreable (who doesn't?). The problem is, we are getting annoyed by "how much?", "where you buy it?", "Must be very expensive, right?"
Of course there is nothing wrong with those questions, but it's about when those questions were asked, and from whom. Let me put up an example:

"Hey you baby boy very cute lor!"
"Oh thank you, his name is Alex."
"How much you paid to get him?"
"Huh? Go away you freak! My baby is not for sale!"

I know the example above is kinda over, but it's close to how we felt. Initially I thought it's just me, but after talking with Fei, we just can't get used to that kinda questions from random strangers. We treat Coco as one of us, so I guess it's normal that we don't put a price tag on him, right?

I never asked the "How much?" question to random dog owners before we met Coco, but I think I would too if I get the chance. So I know it's totally normal to have the said conversation as many of us especially dog lovers are really interested to know the price or the place where the puppies were on sale.

The best place to get your questions answered could be the pet shops, or the dog breeders themselves. Or, if you knew us personally, we are glad to tell you the details too! Frankly, if you are a total stranger to us, my Coco will have the risk of being kidnapped after you find out it cost RM(insert random integer). Make sense right?

p/s: Yes, we bought Coco from a pet shop, and it's not as expensive as you think.

Memorable Day
