Goodbye my precious boxer

Image
My boxer, May has just passed away..:( I have been taking care of my May since she came back from the clinic after the Chinese new Year in February recently. Her two sores were cured after continuous treatment using the Chinese herbal powder. She had been eating dinner regularly. We gave her rice with leftover meat used in soup by my girl's nanny. I gave her two slices of butterscotch bread and some milk every morning. What she did was 'eat and sleep'. She hardly played anymore. She would rather sleep. Whenever I was at home, I would clean up her mess to make her place clean. Three days ago, she was not eating her dinner. I had to throw it away in the morning. But when I gave her the bread, she would eat them. But yesterday morning, I could smell the stench coming from her left ear. I flipped over her ear and I saw two small holes. I was worried that maggots might have found their place there. I cleaned her face and also tried to wipe her ears but...

Camera Shy

Image
It's not easy to get people to pose for us. I usually get something ready as a gift before I propose a shot. This customer of mine was very easily approached. I told him that I was going to give him a shopping bag from Lipton since he bought Lipton tea. But he had to pose for me with the bag.  He was ever ready. Smile! Click! And I gave him my shop's facebook page site. Since Hari Raya is just around the corner, I am also giving some Raya packets to my customers. This customer was glad to receive the packets and jokingly asked as if there's any duit raya. Smile and please share it with your friends. But not everyone likes to be on camera. This customer was given the recipe books and the shopping bag but she refused to show her face. Well, it's fine provided that she didn't mind me taking a picture of the vegetarian food that she bought together with the gift. She was happy and I'm glad that this was the first step for me to promote...

Mug Shot

Image
My girl in UK has been very diligent in sending us stuff. She sent me ice-cream mix, her dad socks, her sister story book and his brother noodle snacks.  There are 4 kinds of Mug Shot.  They are the Pasta spirals in a roast chicken flavor sauce, Ribbon noodles in a Thai Style sauce with peppers and herbs, Ribbon noodles in a chicken flavor sauce with sweetcorn and mushrooms and Ribbon noodles in a spicy sweet   and sour flavor sauce. something different from UK Ingredients and Nutrition Information  a short note from my girl Well, my boy received the parcel of snacks after his birthday. He tried the spicy sweet and sour one last Saturday before he went for his driving lecture. Guess he didn't like it as according to him, it tasted like wax. So now the other 3 packets are lying around. Maybe I will have to try it out myself. We'll see..

My Sunday

Image
I had asked my husband to bathe for my two dogs but it turned out to be me bathing for them. After the shop closed at 2pm, I went back home first but my husband would be back later. Since I hadn't washed the whole compound yet, I decided to do it first before bathing my dogs. Usually I would only wash the compound while my husband bathes for the dogs. I was pouring some detergent on the floor and started scrubbing and sweeping but this Teddy Bear kept following me. Finally when I was done with the cleaning, I started pouring water on him. He sat still. I supposed he knew he needed a bath badly. When was the last time he got his bath? Maybe it's already a month ago! Gosh! He sure was dirty!    He loved his bath.. And this was my first time bathing for my dogs. Next, I bathed my other dog, May. Oh, she refused her bath! She was the one who was so smelly. She kept on walking away but I kept on pouring water on her. Thus, bathing her with her shampoo. Finally, it...

Mother's Day Gift

Image
My customers were supposed to buy 8 boxes of Enfakid/Enfagrow milk powder in order to get a free box of Enfakid/Enfagrow. That was last year's promotion. Their names were submitted and therefore 19 were selected to receive their Mother's Day gift recently in May till end of June 13. Two weeks before the dateline, I had to call some of them personally who didn't seem to be aware of the gift. Soon they came to collect their gifts but one didn't come at all. I tried to call her many times but it always got into her voice mail. Naturally, I gave up and therefore the last one became mine.. one of the recipients posed near the milk powder section Here's the gift which has landed on my laptop. It's mine now..

My hamsters love Lettuce

Image
We love lettuce so do my 6 hamsters. Each morning, I would feed them lettuce without fail provided there is no stock of lettuce in my fridge. By the way, my hamsters stay in the kitchen just beside my fridge. They have to stay in the kitchen as I wouldn't want them to mess up my new furniture in the living room. The babies have grown up. They are already one year old. one of the two black male hamsters Sammie, the mama hamster..still active and strong the only black female hamster the only white female baby hamster our favorite lettuce dish Simply stir-fry them with others such as eggs, tomatoes or minced meat. Depending on the variety, lettuce is a good source of vitamin A , vitamin K and potassium , with higher concentrations of vitamin A found in darker green lettuces. It also provides some dietary fiber (concentrated in the spine and ribs), carbohydrates, protein and a small amount of fat. With the exception of the iceberg typ...
