I played with an Axe!

Went to Sihui's place and play around with an axe! Chopped things and rooted up plants.. LOL. It was fun but, I've gotten 1 blister on each of my hands.

1st bamboo chopped!


Scanning for more victims


Longest bamboo chopped -
It was accidently broken up into 2.


Trying to tickle Caesar's Asshole


Was a little tired chopping them down..
(It's really not easy and I'm not a sissy!)...
I decided to pull them out halfway.


P.S We left all the remaining leaves around the backyard and decided to clear it up the nx morning. Who would expect my territorial Baby Caesar to do scent-making on them?

I'm sorrie I was away!

Have been occupied by drama "Boston Legal" lately. Really interesting. Kept me laughing most of the time. Watch it pals! ... ... ... Denny Crane~

Nothing special today, Hubby and I couldn't decided on what to eat thus we settled our dinner at Seoul Garden. Had lots of beef.. no offence to any but, how nice if there's pork! I LOVE pork! Especially the fat ones, it carries most fragrance~ Hmmmm~~ just imagine your teeth sinking in and it melts right in your mouth on your tongue.. the texture, the taste... *drools*

It's the 1st night in 3 years 2 months for Caesar and I to turn in without each other's presence. I'm glad Sihui agreed to help me babysit him temporarily. I'll be at her place twice a day to walk Caesar though.

My boy's really intelligent, everyone who knows us well knows that Caesar's kinda sticky to me when I'm leaving a place, cos he doesn't wanna be left alone. This time, he just lay down there - he understood that he's not supposed to leave with me. I have absolutely NO idea how he knew it. Well it may sound insane, I did talk to him a lot about this since yesterday. He rested his head on my lap as I stoke his head, telling him that he'll just be going over for a short period of time, and that it's okay cos I will be there everyday.. told him to enjoy Ashley's company too!

Apparently Ash is a lil afraid of Caesar, she's really a lovable girl that everyone will adore.. very 'vocal' in expression too!

I going over to Sihui's tomorrow, and going to China Town! Not many people frequent there and I heard that there are LOTS of good food there! Gonna get my lashes permed too! Cos lash-curlers do not work well on my eyelashes.

P.S How I wish I can have a web cam session with Caesar now!

My conversation with Caesar

It's good to teach your doggie to respond to you in a way you can understand. I taught my boy a few important vocabularies that will help me understand him more, and to teach him to respond to his wants.

I takes a lot of time and effort to teach, and you have to do it everyday. I'll go into my suggestions about training this someday, but for now, I'll let you listen to a "conversation" between Caesar and I.

"mum-mum" is just a term for "food". Notice he doesn't respond to the question "You wanna go toilet?" at all. He hates the toilet. Dogs understands what you are saying, but you've got to teach them how to express it to you.

He got annoyed when I kept quiet throughout initially.. listen carefully!!

Durex's the best

Have some laughs!

Some radom ones..

I love holidays..

I was watching DVDs yesterday and slept at 8am this morning. Life's good, I just woke up. The previous post was completed last night and scheduled to be posted today - love this feature.

Didn't get to really meet hubby this weekend and he's back in camp now.. I've been really occupied by Caesar lately. Cant go out! I'm seriously deprieved of good food cos my maid cooks inedibles. All seafood + veggie dishes!!!!! @#$% HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE seafood and veggies and I are just destined not to love each other. Stupid stoopid stoooopid stooooooopid!!!

There are good food everywhere, but I have no idea why I always have cravings for Ajisen Ramen. I used to have them everyday during one period of time. Hubby come back and feed me!

We used to have a plan, which is to go to ALL the eating places in orchard road. I guess we don't have much time for it now. May need to wait till ORD. =(

Can't wait for Wednesday to come!

What you DO NOT know about Wolves

Wolves are probably the most misunderstood of all animals, thanks to fables & fairytales like Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood etc.. and a number of movies of couse.

Wolves have been perceived as vicious, blood-thirsty, ruinous monsters by human, and kids are brought up labelling them as "the big BAD wolf". These stereotypes ingenerate human-fears towards these beautiful creatures.

The truth is, healthy wolves DO NOT attack human. They prey mainly on deer, moose (sick ones usually, cos they are no match for a normal healthy moose), caribou, elk, bison. No doubt they are ruinous to farmers' livestocks, cos it's just common sense living things will prefer the easy way out. Though irritating to farmers, they still do not deserve the false labellings given to them centuries ago.

A lone wolf is no match for many other animals but in a pack, wolves are one of the most efficient hunters in the animal kingdom. This is mainly due to their capability to live together cooperatively in a pack and communicate effectively with eath other. This allows them to hunt larger preys with minimal effort. Wolves can also sense each other, as well as their prey by their acute sense of smell from as far as 3km. I was amazed by how organised their hunting processes were when I came across a documentary on TV many years ago. They do not travel close together, but rather, will encircle the targetted prey slowly, and quietly. The alpha male of the pack will make the 1st attack and clamps its jaws on the prey's neck, followed by the rest of the pack attacking from all directions.

Wolves avoid pack fighting by 'observing the nature rules strictly'. One form of communication is through scent-marking. Wolves mark their territory with urine and faeces. When 'foreign' pack arrives at a place and smell this, they'll not intrude and will move away to another place to settle down and hunt.

Another interesting fact about wolves is their vocal expressions. Wolves do not howl at the moon but they do howl more frequently after dark because that's when they are most active. They howl to make their prescence more obvious to foreign packs when they sense intruders, they do bark at intruders within short distance to chase them away. Wolves also howl to gather pack members, or to get everyone excited for hunting. Sometimes, these vocal creatures howl for fun. Adults yelp/"squeak" to gather pups, and mothers whimper to calm down pups.

There's a nature reserve somewhere (I couldn't remember) where tourists frequent to 'communicate' with the wolves. The tourists will start howling as a group and wait for the resident pack of wolves to howl back! How interesting!

Do you know that it is unusual for the alpha male to have 2 mating partners?

Cos they usually stick to just 1! In a pack, only the alpha male and female are allowed to breed. When the pups are born, the males will be out to hunt for food. When they come back from hunt, the pups will lick the adults' muzzles, and the adults will regurgitate to feed them. If the hunt wans't successful and pups are licking their muzzles, the adults will often go out and try to hunt again. The other females of the pack will play their roles as 'aunties' to help the mother take care of her young.

It may sound really amusing, wolves LOVES to play! Adult wolves will stage mock fights, play chase, and leap on each other. Ambushing of unwary pack members is their all time favorite!!

Picture from lowbagger.org/wolfprscam.html

I have came across a real life story where a pack of wolves decide to "adopt" 2 infant victims of a plane crash. The 2 girls never learnt how to walk like human but on fours instead. They were discoverd about a decade later and in the process of 'converting' them back to human, one of the girls died because she couldn't adapt well.

Ok it's time to draw a conclusion, wolves, if you know more about them, you'll love them! They aren't even close to our childhood perception of the "BIG BAD WOLF"!

P.S There's really a lot more I wanna type actually, but it'll bore most of you and tire me out. So I'll break them up into small detailed sections next time!!
