CRUSTACEAN LOVERS

Live crabs handpicked and sent to the wok and into the guts of these two killer-kids of mine!

SALTED EGG YOLK-CRAB

The kids simply love this dish. They literally licked the shells clean. Their father has a hand in making them eat overly salty foods. From a tender age they were encouraged to finish up their food by adding dashes of soy sauce. Hence.

TO THE MUSEUM, TO THE MUSEUM

Aha, today Beverly will visit the National Museum, a trip organised by her school. Her first ever visit. She's 15. Mine was when I was only 9. Shame on me; lousy parent! And then to the Palace. Of course she will only walkabout at the foregrounds of the Palace. She thought she could have a cuppa and teacakes with our Agong. Have fun, Girl!

OLIVER A-GROCERY SHOPPING

This little cutie pie can now sit in a shopping cart! Out shopping at Jaya Grocers.

SHENTON'S WOUND ALMOST HEALED

This picture was taken a day after Shenton was treated at the Vet's. Pretty fast, I'd say!

MULTI-TASKING

Beverly studying and simultaneously practising her acrobatic skills.

OUCH! DANG THOSE MAGGOTS!

This is our first and hopefully last experience with ugh, maggots. We started rearing dogs 12years ago. Our Min. Pinscher, Rocky, albeit blind in both eyes, is still with us. Our second one, Poncho, was a Shih Tzu and the third was Jasper, a very obedient Poodle. Both died of cancer. Then we had a mix breed in Cody which we gave away to a wonderful canine-loving couple. After Poncho died my friend bought me Shenton for my birthday. Then we bought Chutney, a beautiful Jack Russell Terrier. 3canines, 3teens, 4adults, a baby. Yep, the 3canines are more obedient than the 3teens.

MAGGOTS IN SHENTON'S LEG

While bathing Shenton, my Shih-Tzu, I discovered this menacing hole in his hind leg. According 2our Vet, Shenton had a cut that attracted flies which in turn laid eggs into the wound. Maggots set in soon after. The Vet made Jon hold a flashlight while he inserted a tweezer into the hole n extracted five big maggots. They were 5days' old. Gave the poor thing a jab, antibiotics and a blue coloured spray. All for RM155. Yes, Jon did throw up. In the car.

VOILA! A GREAT DISCOVERY!

Being a slow learner, I JUST discovered I could actually send a photo to My Blog via my mobile! Voila! Now I don't even have to borrow (read: wait endlessly) my son's laptop! No, he did not buy the dang lappie with his own money. I did.

SLEEPING ON THE JOB

Oh, my poor girl! Studying for her PMR exam. She slept on the job.

WHAT IS BROWN, ROUND AND FLIES?

Mexico Buns. Freshly baked. Exposed to FLIES. Don't buy food that is exposed. There might be creepy crawlies too.

OLIVER GLIDES INTO THE KITCHEN

The little fella came a-gliding into the kitchen today. From now I will have to tie a string to Ollie's walker to confine him to the living area.

MY LITTLE OLLIE

This is the latest addition to our family. Oliver Ludvig Kum is my daughter, Kimberly's son. He's now five and a half months old. Everyone dotes on him and there isn't any doubt that he is indeed our Boss!

GRANDMA AM I

THE WEDDING - 22nd DECEMBER 2007

Forgive me for not posting about The Wedding
A joyous occasion that was certainly worth mentioning
Nay, it wasn't the memory that I was losing
You'd appreciate that preparations were overwhelming!
22nd December was indeed a good fengshui day
The week after saw Kim being given away
Andrew took her away to Ipoh to stay
Soon after they announced a baby was on the way!
So a house of their own the newlyweds went to find
After some renovations it is now one-of-a-kind!
Waiting to welcome their little one, grandchild of mine
Thank you God for the abundant sunshine!
