I was reading this article, "Texting Makes U Stupid" in the Newsweek online. 
The Book Camp suggested by the author, reminded me of the days when I first moved into the then, new house in JB.

There was no internet connection, no cable tv and no easy transport to get me out of the area. Basically, I'm just stuck in the house. So I bought all the available Harry Potter books then and started reading. I read day and night. 

I remembered myself fascinated by the magical world and Hogwarts. 

It's really difficult to get the kids to read these days, even harder with the advent of tablets. Why would a kid want to pick up the conventional book, thick with so many pages when there is the tablet, which, at the touch of their fingers, produce sounds, vibrations & action? 

I guess it's really important to cultivate the good habit of reading since young. 

A kid who reads can't go too wrong, right?

今天一打开窗户，就感觉到风儿吹了进来。

多云的一天，昨天适合洗衣晒衣，今天则适合到外头走一走。

不需要有任何目的的，就到外头走一走吧！

或许我真的应该这么做。

Why can't the X'mas cakes here look as pretty as the ones in the video below? I seriously wouldn't mind receiving a cake so pretty as a Christmas present!

Log cakes are getting boring.

Sweeping the floor is not an easy task for my family because of...



Oh yes, this is a huge ball of fur. It's even bigger than the size of my fist! -_-"

And the culprit of the fur ball...


(I've finally mastered the art of taking nice photos of dogs. Put a snack or food with the camera and you get the perfect shot! =P )

the new puppy that my mum decided to adopt.



as the pet shops closed early for CNY, i wasn't in time to buy a new dog collar for Xiaofu and had to make do with a red ribbon with "Gong Xi Fa Cai" printed on it. HAHA. 这样才应景嘛！ =P





Xiaofu looks more like a bear to me.

My colleague asked my sis what souvenir she wants from China.

My sister asked for the white rabbit milk candy, which was contaminated with melamine.

And there she has it....



Do you think I should pop this candy into my mouth?

When I got home on Saturday, I was quite shocked to see a shaven Neo Ah Le.

He just looks so botak! =(


This is Neo Ah Le now.


This is Neo Ah Le then.

See the difference with the amount of fur and the colour?

Hopefully by CNY, Neo Ah Le will be a handsome dog!
