Some recent poses, starring Lux the bun

Here are a few recent photos taken of Lux in different poses which I thought I would like to share just for general viewing. Enjoy :)

Am not looking at the camera this time, oh come on, give me some privacy pleeease... No lenses allowed!!

Am trying to blend with my carrier's colour, see our colours do match :) Am not hiding ok??

Aww... my favourite blue shirt accompanying me in my nap. Feels so nice.

Who said bunnies don't need a blanky to keep warm? It's kinda cold these days.

Oh mummy, I love this carrot, I am well behaved and should get a bigger piece than that.

Now look here, I am the leader of this area, all of you have to shower me with my favourite show rabbit pellet and unlimited supply of western timothy hay, I only accept the ones from oxbow, hehehehe...

Molting season is back

I could still remember when Lux had her first molt which was back in Feb, I didn't know what it was and was wondering, why was she shedding fur like nobody's business, hahaha... Lux baby, that goes to show how lack of knowledge your mummy is in bringing you up :). I first heard the term "molting" from my friend Mei Leng when I told her about Lux shedding lots of fur. She recommended me the furminator, but this product is not found in Malaysia. I remembered we took Lux back to the kampung during CNY and my mum was complaining so much fur flying all over the place. Sorry mum, Lux just couldn't help it :P

This time round, I decided to make an effort to be more prepared for the molting season. I asked my friend Tim, what should I use and he suggested a slicker brush. Uh, I was like, what is a slicker brush ah?, hahaha another terminology that baffled me. Haha, how embarrassing, I never even groom Lux baby to be honest. And I dunno how do you actually groom your bun, cause all this while, I thought Lux baby's fur was nice looking, how silly, LOL. I went to Pet Lover at Sunway Pyramid last Sunday and decided to invest in a slicker brush. Here you go, that's how it looks like.

I bought the brush and went home. Was so eager to start my grooming or brushing session with Lux. It was still bright in the afternoon, say around 3pm+ and Lux was in her usual sleepy mode at that time. I went to her with the brush and started brushing her. Oh dear, she was mad at me. In her half awake look, she thumped her foot in protest, like saying, "Mum, do you mind, it's my nap time now!! Stop messing my fur". I was like "oops, sorry baby, got you at the wrong time".

I delayed my attempt till evening after her meals and started working on her with the brush. This time she just lied quietly and let me do the job. Got lots of fur brushed out. Been doing this for a few days, to prevent her from eating too much of her own fur which can be fatal. Here's her look after lots of brushing. Looks messy still. Anyway, you'll have nice new fur when all this is over :)
Do I look better now or what?? This brushing thingy is very annoying ... :)

Lux and her Pipes

I could still remember, when we first got Lux , CH did think of making the place nice for the bun. And he thought of play things for it as well. He got PVC pipes. I could still remember, Lux will run in and out of the pipes, or occassionally just lie inside there to relax.

Eh, am halfway getting in, is it safe in there??

Hmm... I wonder what's on top of this thing, looks foreign to me...

This thing is kinda cool, I kinda like it, smells good :)

Am going to take a break in here...

But with her size now of 1.9kg (what a big girl now :P), there was one morning where I tried to coax her to play inside the pipe, she gave me the look like saying "Mum, you can't expect me to run in there now", she avoided me and ran off :)

The look of sheer contentment

This is Lux, after running and playing, she just goes to a quiet place to take a nap. She looks so happy even in her sleep :) I have seen her in this pose a few times and decided to snap this pose last week.

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"
A: Ricola Elderflowers


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".
