Weekends!

Fat Boy and I will be collecting the new 2-month old puppy from the homebreeder tonight : ) Exciting eh? I wonder how Gramps and Aunt Maddy would react (though I am very sure the latter will morph into an angry orang utan) Why I choose this particular pup from this particular homebreeder is the former is rather stable and calm, unlike his boisterous siblings (I guess hyperactive pooches are not really suitable for me) and he doesn't struggle when you hold him (This is important because if he struggles, it means that he is either withdrawn; not comfortable with strangers or he has been mistreated by his breeder before) As for this particular homebreeder, he's in his early thirties and knows his stuff well. He specializes in breeding miniature pinschers and chihuahuas and has written an article on the former breed. Well, he comes as a relief because after speaking to many dog sellers in Pasir Ris Farmway, knowledgeable ones are far and few and some even quote exhorbitant prices like 3,000 bucks for a toy poodle but have zilch knowledge of its background : S

After viewing and selecting the pooch, we set off to Pet Movers at Pasir Ris Farmway to purchase the necessary stuff, like puppy kribbles, leash, metal bowls and puppy shampoo (Well, I used the 50 bucks which Fat Boy helped to bargain for its stuff. Good deal eh?) We had dinner at Ikea Bistro and the teriyaki chicken rice was fantastic : D We walked around till 10pm and headed home : )

As for Saturday, the beach outing was cancelled due to poor response. I cannot fathom why some friends changed their minds at the 11th hour, especially when the event was created weeks in advance. *Sigh* I guess I wouldn't be keen to organize such outings anymore. It's not as if I stand to gain by doing the dirty job of having to remind each and everyone via text messages : < Fortunately, Adeline and her mummy as well as Sunshine Boy saved the day by having dinner with me and Fat Boy at Bosses in Vivocity : ) We had honeyed pork ribs, spinach in buttered broth, deep fried prawns in wasabi and salted egg sauce, braised chicken in 3 different types of wine, and salted-egg custard buns for dessert! : D~

As Adeline and her mummy had something on after dinner, Sunshine Boy, Fat Boy and I proceeded to Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant for Erdinger : ) It was great to have an ice cold after so long...: ) Seriously, I do look forward to meeting up with my dear friends again : D

By the way, did I tell you I sprained my ankle 2 weeks back and I went for treatment at Chien Chi Tow at Rocher Centre. It was disgustingly painful when the therapist pressed onto the sore spot. I yelled so loud that the other patients could hear me from outside : p My ankle was bandaged for a day before I removed it - Too much inconvenience : /
