I know that there must be a lot of frogs in my garden because I always hear them singing happily after a rain. But even though it sounds like there are hundreds of them, I haven’t seen a frog here for the longest time.
Now I know why. They hide! See this one hiding behind the broom?
LOL!
For my SIL’s birthday, my brother bought her a Nintendo Wii. I never knew the Wii is so much more fun than XBox and PS3!
Over this Raya break; my Mum, Dad, brother, SIL and I have gone crazy over the Wii.
We started with the standard games - tennis, baseball, golf, and bowling that came pre-packaged with the Wii. After one day of playing, my arms were sore and aching.
Then, my brother bought the intelligent Wii Fit. It comes with a white “Wii Balance Board” that knows everything about you.
Before playing, the Balance Board will ask for your height and age. Then, it will ask for you to step onto him so that he can measure your weight and how balanced your weight distribution is.
After that, he will prompt you to do simple balancing exercises where you have to lean to your left or right to hit a certain target and depending on how well you do it, it will calculate all that and provide you with your Wii Fit age.
I am too ashamed to reveal my Wii Fit age. Let’s just say that according to Balance Board, I am supposed to be having a mid-life crisis. *sigh*
I think my SIL’s favorite Wii Fit game is the Hula Hoop and “Step”.

For my new room, my dad got a very special desk. It is a normal work desk but the top is a lid that I can open up to instantly transform it into a vanity.
Here’s how it looks when opened up.
I love it when I can start my morning with a glass of fresh juice.
I chuck into the juicer a little of what we have in the fridge. In this crystal glass is a mini bitter gourd, a cucumber, a carrot, a lime, a green apple and a luscious red chili.
By the way, is cucumber a fruit, or a vege?
It is a little odd to be a Cocker Spaniel that lives with a German Shepherd and a Labrador Retriever.
When a guest calls, I forget if I should bite off a chunk of the gentleman’s arm like the noble German Shepherd; or if I should wag my tail like the dopey Labrador Retriever.
Oh wait. I just remembered - I am one of the finest lap dog in the world…
I am supposed to beautifully sleep.
Don’t let the GSD bite!
I don’t usually brag about the guys who are head-over-heels in love with me, but Dino is so adoring, I must tell you about him. He usually greets me with a wagging tail and a big goofy grin. He is one guy I love to tease.
If there is one thing Dino detests, it is riding on the white thing that floats on the pond. I call it a boat. It scares Dino because he can’t get a firm grip while he is on it, and the boat gets rocky…
I would love to watch Flight of the Conchords but I can’t because 10:30pm is an important time for the family. This is when all of us gather around the TV and watch with bated breath a chinese talk show that banters on Malaysia’s politics. 
Which is probably more dramatic than FOTC anyway, heh!
So, I read the episode synopsis online and apparently it’s about how Jemaine feels left out ever since Bret got himself a lady friend. Aww…
From left: Jemaine with an eyebrow raised, Bret looking defensive, and Lady Kero looking maniacal.
I love Cheezels! They are my favorite snack food and you can only get the chunky and cheesy ones in Australia.
At the second Singapore Slingers vs Philipines’ Air 21 basketball game, Kim Chi and Krisandro distracted me with a pack of Cheezels.
I was admiring the Cheezel between my fingers before popping it into my mouth when out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Eric Sandrin had caught the ball.
He jumped straight up to chuck the ball into the hole when all of a sudden, his body swooped sideways. His body fell and thunked against the floor!
You know how whenever you try to snap a group picture, someone will inevitably say, “Eh, don’t take a pic of me leh, I never wear make up today” or something like that? Well…
I usually don’t let the person get away with it. Muahahaha!
As usual, the remote-controlled Harvey Norman balloon was out-of-control.
But the new players for the Singapore Slingers are very much in control of their game. Doctor Darren netted the most balls, scoring a total of 28 points.
Eric Sandrin stole the show though. Eric didn’t seem to get along with #16 from the Air 21 team from the start of the game.
