Look what we are doing together!??
Magic likes to join me for naps. Well, I didn't know she had tried to imitate me like this when I am taking a nap on Sunday. Sneaky Jess took a picture of me and didn't tell me about it until just now ~.~
Oh, I also tried my hand at Lasagna on Friday. I was afraid it wouldn't turn out well (because I was way after my estimated time to complete the dish) but it was marvellous and tasted delicious! Complete with Bechamel sauce ok!??
Enjoy the pictures and drool at the the food please! Well, I can safely say I will trying my hand at Lasagna again soon! I think I like to eat it better than just pasta! The Bechamel sauce does wonders to a simple pasta-like dish!
May: Have a safe and pleasant trip back to SG!

It's a bright and sunny today
in contrast to last week which was raining almost everyday. Hopefully today will remain sunny and cheery.
Yesterday, my folks came over to vist (the dogs). Magic and Wigan are delighted. Wigan's getting very manga (sticky( nowadays and insist on lying near me, on my foot. Last night he wouldn't sleep on his own bed and sneakily shimmied up against me several times.. Jess and I hardly had a good n ight's rest.
Since last week was raining alot, there's nothing much we could do. Daily walks were delayed and here's a picture of the common positions adopted by both of them. Wigan likes to shimmy up and lie on big jiejie's foot.
Magic's usual position on the sofa, whilst she waits for other big jiejie to get back.
Wigan sometimes join in the wait.
Tried to take them both waiting for big jiejie, but Wigan will hear none of it and he refuses to look at camera!

Hip hip hooray! Our Stools have arrived
Bar stools that is, not the toilet kind!! Here's a picture of it.
Swell isn't it? Shiny and spanky new!
The old ones were salvaged from my parents' place. It's a nice traditional bar stools with thick cushion on it. But it was too tall for our fashioned dining table. Now our new stools are just right! ^.^

Wigan home again home again, we miss you so
Magic misses Wigan, she sits by the door, wondering where is he. She has no one to make her angry, snatch her toys, sayang her on the beard, cuddle her by snuggling her ear, helping to groom her toes and privates...
We miss Wigan too. Part of me was incredulous about the whole saga and had that large "HOW COULD YOU". Dog-napping was tramautic for us. I couldn't sleep well and missed his goofy grin.
But he's home today. Thank goodness. I am glad, and exhausted but not quite ready to forgive?
He came back with a very bad diahorrea. His stools were a liquidy nutella.. :( and very smelly... apparently my dad decided that he hadn't had enough calcium and fed him milk. Lactose intolerence got him running. :(
Hope the toast bread is going to make him better. My poor baby :(

What do babies do when it rains many times a (yester)day?
Well, all of us were so frustrated with the frequent downpours that both ended up sleeping most of the day away~
Magic making herself very comfortable on the nice cushioned sofa. She woke up after hearing camera clicks!
Wigan with his continued sleep despite camera clicks and flashes. He's contented, as he's sleeping beside his jiejie on Magic's favourite spot!

Delicious Saturday
We had a really good on Saturday, even though we got caught in the rain. Firstly, we had our favourite niang doufu brunch! Lovely! And Horror of horrors, the stock is made from beef.... Z_Z
Then we took a bus down, wanting to go Parkway, we met our very handsome friend's gf, she's on the way to a church wedding of our friend's. Small world. :D Then it started raining heavily.. :( We were caught in the rain whilst making our way from the bus-stop to Roxy Square. New Paper was totally drenched.
Then we window-shopped a little at Parkway. But before doing so, we changed our tops buy purchasing a new one at Bossini's. Sam Yick's looking funny. They segregated the doggy/catty side from their other side. Wonder why anyway.
We were bored, so settled down at the wine shop which we always pass by but never buy stuff from it. Had a bottle of Merlot and it work wonders against the cold weather. Topped up with 100g of lovely figs and bought ourselves the new issue of 'Delicious' and New Paper (again) to browse. Drank much of the afternoon away.
Then Jess had inspiration from the cooking magazine Delicious and whipped up a fantastic meal! Here are some photos of it!
Both plates!
1 plate only!
Yummy closeup!
Friday...
was a splurge, we went to Jumbo Seafood to eat Pepper crabs... and naughtily took taxi back. lol. Indulgence!!! I was in town earlier to meet my insurance agent, then played a little WOW before meeting Jess for dinner :)

Sigh, no nice MacGames for me
Well, I scoured Funan IT mall, nothing nice. Next best thing is Quake 4, which I don't want to buy.
Today brought Wigan to Vet,... only to realise I was too early for his vaccination. Silly eh? It's 1 year from the last jab, not "1 YEAR OLD WIGAN" hehe.
BBQ last Saturday:
Was a blast! My chicken curry was godlike and the bottom was cleaned fast! Glad that most food was polished up. They liked the seasoned BBQ stuff too. Well, I am proud to say I didn't serve my guests 'trash' bbq food such as processed sausages. Hell, there wasn't even satay! Just good old seafood, pork chops. Some of them liked the banana leaf wrapped stingray ^^
The bbq pit upstairs is swell to work with, with the washbasin right beside it makes it super convenient. Jess and I were thinking of booking the pit next time... for our own private use. ;)
Most of our guests brought nice red wine as gifts for us. Now we have 3 bottles of red wine (cos drank 1 bottle le) left. hehehehe
Our "Very Handsome Friend" introed us to Sparkling Rose, needless to say we were quite hooked onto it and had 2 more bottles within a week! Gasp! What to do? Cheap and good and NICE!! Slurp!
Bad Magic Poor Wigan
Well, without warning, Magic gave our "Very Handsome Friend"'s girlfriend a big bite on her finger... it turned septic... :( We feel so bad. Ended up both were banished to the yard for the rest of the BBQ day... Poor Wigan. He was so well behaved and didn't pounce/jump on any of our guests... Magic's bite was vicious..... I mean, usually you would see it coming. This time it was really out of nowhere.... And it was her 2nd bite of the day, first one was on DY's socked feet. :(
Last Friday was Jess' birthday!
Well, cooked her very special menu as follows:
1) Flavoured red potatoes with mayo filling and caviar dressing
2) Crab and prawns steamed in chicken broth
3) Prommery Champagne
Glad she liked it! ^^
So, anyone want to hire me to cook for them? [I am serious about it] I will go to the wet market to gather the freshest ingredients and go to your abode to cook for you (and your special one as you may so wish).
Enjoy your weekend :)
P/S: Jess was on leave and so was my blog. hehehe
/weekend out

Inspirational rubbish!
Well, as we had purchased our wine glasses from Ikea, cheap and fragile, to-date, we had broken 4 glasses.
Jess broke 2 glasses (1 white and 1 red wine glass each) whilst washing them. Thankfully she wasn't hurt. Then it followed by 1 white wine glass that I accidentally knocked it over whilst it was drying on the rack. Then the latest one was a knock from a NZ wine bottle that cracked the red wine glass I was drinking from. We were quite shocked... and moreover, when the red wine glass cracked, it had a sickeninng sound. Horrible lor.
Glass that I broke whilst it was drying on rack. Decided to decorate it with some mucus-laden tissues and carrot skins :P
Today is Jess BBQ/Birthday/gathering for her pals. Hope everything goes fine... I hope I didn't miss out anything. Bought loads of fresh Shitake mushroom from Carrefour as well as some alcohol.
Yesterday we had seafood dinner- Crabs, Prawns and cutsy potato dish, topped up with Pommery Champagne. Glad Jess liked it. :D

What do babies do when they are tired?
They sleep! Here are some pictures of them, before and after grooming. They like to lie near the computer area, where I spend much of my afternoon time on.
Magic before grooming, at her usual spot. She's not at all shy of showing her (10) very sexy doggy nipples!
Furry Wigan blocking the small passage way that allows jiejie to leave her seat.
Both exhausted from the grooming session. Note that Magic is rested at her favourite area, unless Wigan occupies it.
Camera click and flash woke Magic up, Wigan indifferent to it and continues snoozing!
I do miss their furry selves..... :( So wolfy like and huggly.... But Wigan's very macho chest hair is full of knots.... He's such a messy boy!
Oh, meeting Jess for lunch! It's her birthday today, so kindly pop over to her blog and say hi please! :)
Cheers to the coming weekend!

To market to market to buy a fat pig, but I am home again home again, exhausted and weak!
Today went market to buy some food for household as well as stock up on food for the coming BBQ this Saturday.
Food not cheap, and my clogged nose isn't helping. I also bought a citrus juicer for our lemons/limes as well as a basket for the potatoes (they had been sitting on the oversized salad bowl). Jess wanted western food for dinner, so I was inspired to make some 'rabbit prawns'. But the glass prawns are so beautiful and large, worth every cent of their price of 15$/kg.
I couldn't resist but to take some pictures of them:
BEFORE
Full glory of the 8 prawns in the sun!
Glass on glass.... how lovely :)
After some handywork on them, they became rabbit prawns:-
Grey rabbits... don't you think?
Grey tired rabbits on bamboo!
Oh! Happy birthday dad!!!
I am... Tan S L;
born on 07 Mar 1978
and my GF calls me Su :D
We are happily 'married' and
staying together in our new home!
with 3 furkids.
Ich Liebe Dich Jess!
