My upcoming small project

I don't remember having green fingers as a child. Usually all the gardening was done by Mum and Dad. I will be just around helping out but not knowing how the actual thing was done. I decided to get 2 packs of seeds from Giant - one of my favourite veggie the ladies finger and french beans (kacang buncis, I would have preferred kacang buncis kecil is also one of my favourites, but couldn't find the seed for it).

I have started preparing the soil, with some help from my baby Lux. I have dumped her droppings on this plot of soil hopefully to turn it fertile. Will most likely start this mini project in a few days time and see how things go. Wish me luck :)

JCS On the Prowl 4 Hunt

I haven't been blogging on treasure hunting for quite a while, but thought I may just drop a few words for today's hunt. As mentioned by the COC, Pava it was supposed to be A "simple" straight forward hunt without frills and games just fun and mid challenges. The word "simple" there tends to be very misleading. Our team were struggling throughout the hunt. Overall, all route questions were answered by either one team or another. Only one treasure question was unanswered. It was a good hunt. Thanks Pava :)

We were rather dejected after the hunt due to this hunt's difficulty and the time constraint. There was no penalty window provided, therefore once you missed the stipulated submission time, you are deemed disqualified. The results were unexpected. 2 Sneakies + 2 Innocents won again, out of our expectation, really unbelievable for us :)

The unsolved treasure

T: Please bring in this edible item which describes "Senior Blooms"

Honestly speaking, I haven't even seen this product myself. So I decided to go to Giant for dinner just now, spotted this treasure immediately and decided to buy it, just for the fun of it. But my guess is, this product must be quite old (due to the expiry date for this product is July 2010). According to another team, they knew about this product but it was nowhere to be found.

My CNY gift from Daddy - a handmade American Bowie

Daddy has been making knives as a hobby for quite some time now. And I have to admit, his hand work is really good now. It takes a lot of time and patience to make a knife. I received a hand made American Bowie knife from daddy during CNY. If you could see the actual knife, it is a real beauty :) Am proud of you daddy.

The American Bowie, a useful hunting knife. Notice the brand "Katz Handmade".

The Story of The Old Blue Shirt

This is Lux, enjoying her time with her favourite old blue shirt. I got a feeling Lux likes blue colour. She's not really attracted to other cloths that we had previously.
I love blue...

DND, I am busy with my blue shirt

I wanna flip this cloth

I am really busy... will get back to you later Are we going for a trip again??
Lux dreads going into the carrier when we travel outstation. But with the blue cloth inside, she just automatically runs in to play with it :P

Cardboard Boxes

Lux loves biting and chewing on almost anything, especially newspapers and cardboard boxes. Look at the joy of biting and tearing the box :)

Hmm... this smells good...

Yum... and taste so good too...

I am really enjoying myself, cardboard never tasted so.... good :)

There's something new in her biting collection, her favourite old blue shirt. More to come in future postings.

Grooming

One of the common activities Lux does in a day is to groom herself. If she's not eating or sleeping, she will be grooming herself. I guess they are very meticulous animals in keeping clean. But the funny thing is, her paw is kind of dirty looking and she keeps using it to clean her face and ears. So how does that equate to keeping clean... hehehe...
Cleaning my right foot

Do I look cute??

Cleaning my left foot now...

Bun with an attitude


Looking at this photo, you would probably think, awww... what an adorable bunny. Well, Lux is our darling there's no doubt on that. She never fails to "entertain" us with her various characters.

Let's start with last Friday night...I noticed there was some mosquitoes outside, and not wanting Lux to be bitten, I took her in to sleep with me for the night. Both of us went to bed around 1+ am, lights off. So far so good... In the middle of the night, I felt kinda cold and decided to lower the speed of the fan. And guess what, once the fan was down, Lux started thumping her foot in protest. Oh no, not again, making noises, I decided to ignore her for a while, but there was still sound of protest from this little fella. So reluctantly, I had to wake up again to increase the speed of the fan. After that, all was well until morning.

It was already 7+ am in the morning, and Lux was making noises in a way to wake me up and waiting for food. Since it was Saturday morning, I tried to ignore her and continued sleeping till 8+. Woke up went to look at her, she was excited to see me, but once I opened the cage door, she showed me her angry face and thumped her foot once. It's like indirectly saying, "Wake up so late??, hungry la". I pat her gently on the head and she was ok. What a moody little fella. Gave her breakfast and she was happy again :)
