Come December, Some More Eye Candy and A Homecoming

The 1st of December is here. The last page of my horse racing calendar. I love this horse racing calendar as i can see the days and the  holidays clearly and i can scribble all over its big spaces. The yellow background on the numbers means that its the school holidays for this whole month of December.

We have Heartgard on the 6th and Frontline on the 7th. My memory is fading fast so i have to make markings on the calendar just in case i missed them. Dom loves his Heartgard but when he sees the Frontline box out, he usually runs and hide.

Usually he hides here. Underneath my dad's lazy chair. You've got to flip yourself around to see the picture better but i am sure there's a Curly hiding there. The reason we didn't flip the picture around is because i didn't want you guys to see the mess in our house :) Didya flip yourself around yet? Okay... let's carry on.

We woke up one morning and found a kitteh kat underneath my car. Don't know when she came by but she has made friends with Transformer Tabby. Transformer Tabby's been quite lonely since Blue Eyes left her all alone. So another kitteh kat about her size is good. Just another hungry kitteh kat to feed. Fiesty lil girl. She will grows fast.

Being new, she does not know that Curly is curious of small kitteh kats. Curly love to just find out more by sniffing them. He does not harm them. He usually gets bobbed by the bigger cats when he gets too near them. He just likes to take a sniff and see who it is. He never harms Transformer Tabby. But being just a small kitteh kat, she is petrified of this big bubbling Curly.

Here she is hanging on for dear life up on the jacaranda tree. Curly is just waiting down there. I am sure both of them are gonna be good friends maybe in a week or two of sniffing and checking.

We went for a walk on a new route in the next neighbourhood near some new houses by some old septic tanks ^.^ Dommy is quite a scardy cat when he is at a new new area. He likes routes that he knows and routes that he has left scents before. He likes routes that passes by some of his friend's houses. When he is at the new new routes without any scents of his or other doggies, his tail goes down. Probably he sense some danger. I usually take his cue and we move back to the car if he does not like the place.

He is not so scared if Mr. P is with him. Mr. P is however the fiesty little one who does not know his size. He is never afraid of anything except for children that hugs him too tightly or children who tugs his tail.

Since its a new new route, he thought that he might as well leave a parcel for the other doggies that might come by. Peemails are not enough. Places like this need big big parcels.

I know some of you would still be interested in some juicy meats men. Here they are below.

Okay okay... enough of them drooling over these meaty beautiful men. Wipe your drools now... hehehehe... These men were performing and competing at Jonker Street Malacca for the 3rd WBPF Men's World Body Building Championships. These muscle men were from all over the world. We just so happen to be there and stumbled on them golden bodies. The bodies are so flexed up... it looks so unreal.

My friend did not hire them specially to flex their muscles for me. *LOL* But my friend didn't budge for a long time... she just stared and stared with eyes wide open. At one point, she wanted to run up to the stage and just touch the muscles to see if they were real. Yes.. she as nutty as i am. I had to drag her away as i was getting so hungry.

One more week and our little Jaiboo will be coming home. I have not seen him since March 2010. Its been quite a while and he has grown so much. We are very excited here and hardly getting any work done. The house is still in a mess and the curtains are not washed. The tree is not up. There's still so much to do :)

He'll be home soon :) 

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Someone's snoring very loudly already. Someone is due at the groomers next week. He's all fluffy again. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't tell him.

We also forgot to do a very important post for a small fluffy one. We are getting to that if we don't get lost in our excitement. We are gonna call it a night now. Goodnite everyone!

Some Eye Candy and Meandering on...

We continue on our journey thru the nooks and crannies of Malacca. First, our apologies for being slow and lazy with the posts :)

Certain towns in Malaysia still have a lot of old town charm... they are very charming to travellers like us. Its not hoity toity like the big cities with their big malls and the branded brands. Like some coffee gets branded and cost a bomb but taste like crap. Except for Starbucks of course. *LOL* I still love my macchiato with cream. An indulgence when i get to the city on errands.

We went to a back alley (which was surprisingly quite clean and doesn't smell) for charcoal grilled tofu with fishballs in a thick peanuty sauce. It was simply delicious.

This stall is called Tong Bee’s Cockles Stall. We didn't ordered cockles as we were both not really great fans of boiled cockles. It was a pretty neat place to eat as we have to sit on these low stools in some very dark back alley.

It is surely not for the less adventurous if you are edgy about hygiene and safety. Motorbikes were also passing by us slowly just inches away from where we sat.

Next we walked to the Stadthuys which is the red square of Malacca. This is a favourite place to take loads of pictures for most tourists. The exterior of all the buildings around here are red... all of the same hue.

You can also find many colourful and heavily decorated pretty trishaws to take you on a spin through the streets of Malacca.

When we got to Jonker Street, we met a juicy man.

He turned his back to us and kept flexing his muscles. All we can do is just stare with eyes wide open. O.O The body glisten like gold and were shiny in many many places. We continue staring and he continue adjusting his muscles for our eyes.

A few of his friends showed up and they all continue to torture our eyes with their juicy beautiful glistening bodies. We continue staring with buttery legs. Our jaws dropped with each flex of them muscles. It was too much... too much eye candy for a birthday. I was getting a sugar high.

I felt woozy in the head. I need air. Too many people.. too many muscles. Too much eye candy for a night. Halpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp...

Some of you might be missing the Curly. He told me that he upgraded himself to angel status. He says he's most angelic and behaving like an angel lately. I kinda think that his halo is weighing him down.

His halo started travelling to his back. I wonder why.

Its getting a wee bit late here. Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving dinner and am thankful for all loved ones and the things in life. Save some turkey for us. We'll be coming over soon. For more eye candy and if you wonder why there's so many juicy men that night, we'll indulge you on our next post... if we don't get too lazy.

A note to Lil Miss Maple & Yuki's momma ~
The Majestic Hotel is not spooky at all. The rooms are at the new tall building behind the mansion. Its only 10 years old. The old mansion only houses the lobby, reception, library and a big nice restaurant upstairs. No spooky spooks :)

A Wander Thru the Nooks and Crannies

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I am grinning like an idiot now. I am not 50 yet.. but gonna get there soon one day. Sorry for lying but women always lie about their age right? You all have been very kind with your comments and telling me that running away is okay. Sometimes we all need to get away for a while if we could. Its always refreshing and its good for the soul. Just remember to come back to the loved ones and the furries.

People like me get to run away more because i am not attached to a pole ^.^ I got a bunch of very close friends. We go wayyyyy back. The kind of friends that you can talk about fart and poos. *LOL* The ones that you can pick off from where you left off even if its been years.

I've know them for more than 20 years. Some of them are attached with families while some of us are still hanging single. Sometimes we travel in a pack like wolves. It all depends on who's available and who's free at that moment in time.

I have travelled with a lot of different people to different places. Sometimes i love to go solo as not everyone likes to travel with a crazy photographer who takes pics of all the doors and windows along the way :)

I am still kinda looking for a lonely planet traveller who will go places with me. One who is not afraid of the rough road ahead. One who does not mind roughing it out at the backpackers inn. And one who will love to photograph doors and windows just like my crazy head.

On this trip to Malacca, we stayed at a hoity toity place as it was my day and we decided to go hoity toity as it was the 11-11-11. The next time this date comes around again, it will be a hundred years. I don't think i will still be around in a hundred years. We want to remember when we are old and crinkly that we had hoity toity before :) We are sometimes a bit impulsive. It was supposed to be a party of three of us but one of my friends could not get off work.

The Majestic Hotel is an old mansion which was built in the 1920s. Having retained its old facade, it is quite a stunning building. Every corner is a breathtaking sight. The walls holds many secrets i am sure. I went a little crazy with the camera here. Stepping into this building is like taking a step back in time.

Before we booked into this hotel, we were afraid that there might be spooky spooks to greet us at night as it is an old building. No spooky spooks came by that night :)

This is The Library in the old mansion. Tea is served here. This lady in the pink kebaya was just going about doing her work of setting up the tables for tea.

Some of the corners at the lobby has this glass jars. The glass jars hold some light snacks. It was a nice touch.

The hotel overlooks a village called Kampung Morten. A traditional village with kampung houses in old Malacca architectural style. I've been to Malacca many many times but i have never stumbled here before.

This is a living museum called Villa Sentosa here in the village. A very friendly old man manages the place. He'll answer all your questions with a big big smile on his face.

There are some homestays here and the next time we come again to Malacca, we will be checking out the homestays for a different experience.

We will show you where we met some pretty juicy interesting men in our next post :)

I think i have been quite lucky all my life. My family loves me. I get to do what i want most of the time and i got a job which i love. I get to run away sometimes. I only get nagged once in a while. But don't mind the old folks. They might be long windy winded but they nagged because the love you. I even know how to switch off my ears if the nagging gets too long. I have trained my ears to be like the radio switches :)

The Need to Run Away

Sometimes i run away. I know i am really too old to be running away but sometimes i still do it :) I am a free soul.

I ran away from home last Friday and spend the whole weekend walking around and round and taking pictures. Taking pictures always make me happy. The need to get out and about and to see things is one of the reasons why my life is such and the reason why i am still without another half by my side. I have not really searched for my other half through mountains and valleys and the great seas and i still have not found him yet. Ahh... oh woe is me. I might just end up old and crinkly with no one to hold my hands :(

After leaving some instructions on the white board for my dad to feed Dom his food and medicine, i told my Curly i am taking off. He tried to fit into my backpack but lately... he's kinda on the heavy side. He couldn't even fit one of his feet into my backpack. *LOL* I think i might just have to put him on a vegetarian diet soon.

Dommy: Who you calling FAT? I am just big boned you know. And its just all furry furs.

Dad sent me off in the morning to the railway station and he even packed my favourite egg tarts for me to eat just in case i got hungry on the way. What can i say... i am still daddy's little girl :D

These eggtarts are yummy fellas. My all time favourite... and you kind of have to queue to buy them. I guess my dad loves me quite a lot. Yes yes... i am gloating.

Since it was also my 50th birthday (i think its my 50th or was it 60th cos i stop counting after my 30th), my dad went to the bakery early in the morning and got me a white chocolate cake :) The bakery was just opening and they didn't have anyone to write my name on the cake.

My dad came home with the cake and insisted to put a letter N to spell my name. So he took out some red paper and tried to cut the letter N real fast as i have a train to catch in an hour's time. He cut a few times and finally got the letter N.

My beautiful cake. It was more beautiful with the letter N.

I said goodbye to my Curly... grabbed my bag and my dad sent me off to the railway station. I bet Dom was howling for quite a while after i left. He always howls sadly when i leave him. I didn't know about this until my sister told me about it. I went out for a while and left him in the house with my sister once. He just howled and howled. My sister was so scared and thought he was in pain. That was when we found out he howled when i am not with him.

I always choose to leave the ones that love me the most. But i always come back. I choose to run away on this birthday because i always run away from situations and things. I don't fight with anyone. I just walk away. I don't fight for what i want, because i believe that if it was mine to begin with, it will be with me in the end.

My journey on the train ended up in Kuala Lumpur. My friend picked me up and we went by car to another city. The historical city called Malacca.

I dragged.. practically dragged and forced one of my best buddies to take the day off work on Friday and spend the day with me :) She loves to be photographed and i love to photograph things and furries mostly. Don't tell her that. *LOL* I love to photograph doors, windows and buildings and she loves to have her photos taken.

She is one of my best buddies because she will always drop what she is doing and make time for friends like us. Even if we end up old and crinkly without a hand to hold one day, i know i will still have hands of family and friends to hold. It will be not quite the same but it will be okay. All you ever need is just a few good friends and family and a furry or two or three.. or maybe a lot of furries.

I believe some of us are always looking and looking for the other half to make us complete. I sure hope my other half is not sipping Tequila Sunrise in Timbaktu. It is a long way to Timbaktu :) I don't know if i know how to get there.

I am actually quite happy last weekend... my dad made my birthday most memorable. I am touched by his actions. Even though i am still getting nagged and nagged and nagged daily even though i am in my 50s now... i guess in his heart, i will always be his little girl.

Wordless Wednesday - Undercover

Going Places Wednesday - St Paul's Hill

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people and furries in Japan. Rebuilding Japan will take a very long time. We are very saddened by the recent events lately.

We saw this link on Life with Dogs. Do jump over and read how you can help the animals in Japan.

We are still in Malacca. There's so many places that we have to take you to in Malacca.

Here i am with a bunch of very happy people up at St Paul's Hill in Malacca. The buskers were playing very beautiful music on their guitars and singing away. I was just closing my eyes and taking in all them sweet notes.

This is where St Paul's Church used to be.

Only the ruins and the tombstones of the noble dead remains. St Francis Xavier's body was buried here in 1553 but he was moved to Goa, India later on.

Here he stands tall and remain forever guarding the hills.

I sneaked off with HER plastic and bought meself a smooch from Missy Puddles there. *BOL* I am shameless.. huhuhu... shameless i tell you. SHE didn't even know that HER plastic was used *BOL*

Here's how you do it pals. When your hoomans are snoozing or cooking, get their plastic cards and go buy yourself a smooch here...

http://pawsofpeace.blogspot.com/p/kissing-booths.html

All these smooches are going for a good cause. I'll go get myself another smooch from someone else tomorrow when SHE's away from her computer :)

Ain't she the cutest doxie around.

Going Places Wednesday

Its Wednesday and we are supposed to be doing a Wordless Wednesday. But come Wednesday, we found out that we can hardly be wordless. Some funny spaceman in his spacewagon is also trying to catch us not doing a wordless every Wednesday.

For a change of pace, we are going to go places on Wednesday with the Curly.

We saw a pretty awesome picture of Bunny and Blue for their Wordless Wednesday. When Dommy saw the picture, he wanted a picture with a mural as a background too. Yes. Curly can be quite demanding sometimes.

The mural is in Malacca. Malacca is a historical state in Malaysia. It is a must visit place if you come here for a holiday. Malacca is full of quaint little shops and lots of places to explore.

Come join us every Wednesday and let's go places with our furries :)
