Desmond and Yvonne's Thank You dinner

I'm going to Desmond and Yvonne's Thank You party for those involved in their wedding tomorrow. I prepared this slide show for their guests. Their friend, Vanessa, is cooking. I read on her blog that she will be preparing a really good meal.

Here's her menu:

Oysters (natural or Florentine)

Chargrilled Scampi and maybe Prawns Thai Salad

Posciutto Wrapped Melon

Pork Belly Wrapped Sweet Corn and Enoki Mushrooms

Wasabi Potato Salad

Roast Beef Wrapped with Bacon

Chicken Kababs (just in case there are some that don’t eat beef)

Kahlua Cake

Cheese Board

I am salivating just going through it. She has even done a trial on 1 of the dishes yesterday. I can't wait for sat.

Rainy days are here again


View from from my window. Golden light from the setting sun painted a dramatic scene against the dark clouds. It was beautiful.

Dodi's visit to the vet

I sent Dodi to the vet today for his rash problem again. His rash is getting out of hand. Poor boy developed the rash after Casey passed away. The vet agrees with me that his condition could be due to the stress of separation. My neighbours tell me he howls when he's alone in the afternoon. It must be really hard for him. Casey was his constant companion for 6 years. Now he has no one with him when I go to work in the day. When I come home at night, he'd give me very long tight hugs around my legs. Poor boy, I am showering him with more love and attention whenever I can.

Selamat in Malaysia

A friend received this text message:

“Latest update, the escaped Mas Selamat has entered Malaysia.

The Malaysians have put signs all over the country… Selamat Datang!”

Selamat Datang (in Malay) = Welcome, or could also mean Selamat came.

Andy and Yuling



I just got a sms from Andy informing me that they've baked banana muffins for Dodi - my miniature schnauzer.

Dodi's friendship with Andy and Yuling started when they visited me to enquire about my wedding photography services. They both fell in love with Dodi (right) and Casey (left) - my sheltie who has passed on - the moment they saw them. They were particularly interested in Casey.

Months later, after their very beautiful wedding held at Asian Civilisation Museum, I handed them their pre-wedding and actual day albums. Somehow I knew that it will not be the last I'll hear from them.



Some more months later, I got the sms from them telling me that they've just gotten a cute sheltie of their own - Latte (left). Since then we've been trading parenting tips. They taught me how to feed Dodi healthy food. Then they started baking dog treats for him. They have been spoiling Dodi rotten with their supply of different dog treats. The treats taste so good that Dodi has started to refuse to eat his own food.

The treats are made with the healthiest ingredients. Some of them even come in the shape of little schnauzers! I've been urging them to turn this into a business. I've promised to be a regular customer.
