Hachiko

Haven been watching much movies recently.

The most recent one i watch is Haciko!

OMG! Love the show a lot man!

And I cried lor. it was so touching. Imagine a dog so loyal, waited for the owner for 9 years at the same particular spot. Because the owner died at his school and didnt return since that day the dog send him off at the train station.

Its a must watch! Go watch go watch!

It is based on a true story. The Japanese felt that the dog was so loyal that they built a statue at the spot where he always waited for the owner. The dog even died at the spot okay.

Goodness, feel like crying again.

I wshed that Jiajia was half like that man. hahah.

But oh well, still love Jiajia a lot alot!

Look at her face! So messy! So cute!

This is the photo from the photo shoot very very long ago. :P

Bishan dog run

Cute photo with baby's hp application!

Brought Ikea to Bishan Dog Run yesterday night.

Her stamina will amazing.. We found a stray toy there and started playing with her fetch.

And she keep fetching for the next one hour plus. We were super amazed it.

Look at her panting away! She look fat here leh. hahahaha!

Tired! Look at her mouth, open so big!!

When she got home that night. She was so tired that she fall into a deep sleep and starting dreaming. Her legs were twitching, as if they were running and she was making panting sounds. I believe she was dreaming that she is at the dog run again! That adorable little girl. So cute lor!

Anniversary

Happy 3Yrs 10Mths!

Dont know how many times have I said this. But time flies..

JIajia

Brought our lovely JiaJia to the pool on Sunday, paid $10 for 30 mins and you get the private pool. But realise she love swimming in the sea but dont really likes the pool. You see, the depth of the sea is more gradual but for pools, its deep straight away.

That day we learn something new about her again. Baby pretent to be drowning, he started to splash around in the water and keep shouting and calling Jiajia. Jia then knew something was wrong, maybe she can feel it, I dont know. She then start barking furiously, and attempted to jump into the water, thou you know she is so scared of it. In the end, she slipped and fell inside, and started swimming over to baby, and started licking baby's face after that. Isnt she a sweetheart? That makes you love her even more man.

Even though, she cant really save you, but you know in times of trouble, she will bark loudly and help you alert someone.

Bought her back to the vehicle and being her, she hates to be wet, tried to clean herself on her blue micro-fibre towel.

Cute hor.... :p

Maybe you guys think that there are way too many post about Ikea and just dont understand why our life revolve around her so much. Maybe you all feel that she is nothing but just a dog.

If you all think that way, I dont blame you.

But Ikea to us, she more than a dog. She becoming to be like human. I know a lot of dog owners will say that too. But our JiaJia is different. If you really know her personally, she is totally adorable.

Appearance wise, she is super cute, you all have to agree with me on that. When we bring her out, we got lots of compliments from strangers. And if those dont recongnise her breed (Wired-hair Jack Russell Terrier), they will just label her as "Sparky" the starhub dog. But i beg to differ, she way much more cuter than that. :p

She is not a flower vase okay? She got "liao" one.

When we first brought her home, her toilet training took probably like maybe 3-4 months, and now she is 100% accurate. It is not even 99.99% okay? Everytime she peed, she will run to you, very bouncy and very happy, all you need to do is to walk over to her newspaper and while clearing it just say:"Jiajia sheee sheee ah, good girl!" She wont even wait for you, she will run over to the dining table, and look at her treat box. And the funny part is she wants to get a reward from everyone in the house. She joker la!!

As for the number of tricks she knows, she is amazing. She pick them up super duper fast. The simpler trick like "shake hand" took her one day to master. The little bit more complicated ones like maybe "turn turn"(spin in circle) and "hello"(waving her paw) took 2-3 days. And that is amazingly fast. For non-dog owners, dogs they dont understand what you want them to do. But with a lot of practise, and using treats to lure them into the actions you want them to do takes a lot of time and patient.

There was one trick the "Whisper" makes her champion already. Whisper is to make small whining sounds and she knows that by whispering, she can get what she wants. So now, she is starting to force you to play fetch with her. She will bring her ball to you, look at you and start to whisper until you throw her ball for her to go get it back. She just keep doing that until she is tired. That little ass!

Oh yah, ever wonder why Ikea is also called Jiajia? You see, Ikea sounds like "Yi Jia" in chinese, so we call her Jiajia. "Yi Jia" means one family in chinese. And she is really like that. She is super "teh". When the whole family is out, one of them leave her, she will whine and whine like crazy, and start barking in the high pitch voice like trying to tell you to come back. How cute is that?

Before we got her, me and baby wanted a dog that is rugged not the lady lady kind, a dog that can run, can swim, can jump, not scared of anything, and of course well behaved la. And we got what we wanted, and a little something more. She is a cross between a dog, monkey and a cat. Hahahahah!

You can just look at her and smile at yourself knowing how lucky you are to have her. She is so quick to forgive, and so eager to please.

And I am not shy to say that went I am out with her, I feel so proud walking her. And I bet baby feel the same way too.

I'm tired and my fingers are freezing under the aircon. But you know I could just go on and on about her all day long.

There is a reason why we spend so much time on her, a reason why she has so much toys, so much treats and so much attention from everyone.

DSLR Photos

These few days was budget day and we went to Giant to buy ingredients to cook for dinner.

Baby dont know why had some cravings for beef chilli cheese dog so there we go. We starting making them. And it turned out very very delicious. Of course, it tasted different from Superdog la, but its still very very nice!!!

We even had ncie photos taken wil his new DSLR!

Doesnt that make you hungry already??

Another cheap simple meal. Mee Pok dry with an egg!!!

And we had to take some nice cute photos of our jiajia with the new camera!

She look so adorable!

I just cant get over her man! Heheheheh!

I tell you, she the cutest dog ever.

Palawan

It was a sweet day out with Ikea and baby at Sentosa.



Woke up in the late morning and started making lunch boxes so that we can save money while have fun. Food turned out to be kinda nice. I mean that what I hope to believe. There is sushi rice, dumplings, sasuages, egg, mee pok aand some some chicken. We even brought our own drinks there! Its a picnic day!

Drove to Palawan beach, park our ass at some nice corner, while shouting at Ikea for being so excited. Didnt bring any valuables down as we are worried that it might go missing. Actually our intention was to bring the dog for a swim, so we wont be at our spot all the time. So no photos! Booboo!



Once we switch Ikea's leash into the retractable one, we walk her to the water. She seems a little wary at first, but with some encouragment, she walked courageously into the water and started to dog paddle.

Remember also some time back, we brought her to the doggie pool at Pasir Ris Farmway, she totally freaked out and all she wanted was to get out of the pool. That poor girl was whining and swimming. BUT NOW! ITS DIFFERENT! She walked in all by herself and swam like a fish! So proud of her. Baby went played catching with her, running on the sand, and into the water, and Ikea did not even hesitate, she just pound on the water.


Weather turned bad after a while and we decided to pack up and leave. We had a tired day, and i believe Ikea feels the same. She was nappy when we drove home.

Baby, we go there again soon alright? I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I bet Ikea is so super tired now. Hehehhe!

Kranji Staycation

So we set off for a long drive to Kranji for our staycation. It was pretty exciting. The day before, we even went to Giant to get ingredients so that we can cook on that day itself at the resort.


Journey there was super duper long. Probably an hour? I dont know. Around there I guess.

The Check-In was pretty cool. It was a drive thru check in. All we need to do is to stay on the vehicle and wait for the lady in the glass to do everything. Hehehe!


We were given a remote control thingy and key for the room. Guess what? We had our own private pouch for the vehicle. And there is a automated gate. Now I understand how is it like to be staying in a private housing man.

It wasnt very big. And it was quite nice. This little path leads us to our room!




And here is our room! Rather cosy actually. And the bed is fantstic, extremely comfortable.





And best of all, the toliet. It is an open concept toliet. Luckily there wasnt too many mosqitoes.

Being us, super impromptu, we decided to wash the vehicle. Since the sun is hot and shiny, it will dry up the van quickly.

Some cam whoring done after sweating like a pig.

And shortly after, we decided to start preparing for our dinner.

We brought down our own portable stove, and some untensils and we are ready to whip up a good meal.

View from the Balcony.

Busy busy!

But how can we forget some fun moments?!

>

The cooking part was very very fun.

And we were bloated after that.

Let the pictures tell the story.

Sirloin steak!

Time passes quickly when you are having fun.

There is really nothing to do there. But it is a nice getaway from everything. I really dont mind coming here again.

I really enjoyed it, i hope you too baby. :D

Happy 45th months hon!

Oh ya, we went to Hay Daries the next day and bought some Goat milk back. It is expensive man! Had the photos but it is in my the other phone and I am pretty lazy to transfer it in. Next time then!
