Ahhh...the smell of ...

...sweet ixora~~~~~

Would-be-gardeners

I have 2 garderners in the house as seen in these pictures :) Toro the thorough one where everything must be investigated and sniffed at and Bujang, the plant- lover and ixora fanatic. :)

The Calm after the storm

Today all of us spent our time indoors. I thought after the flurry of yesterday, everyone can use some time just hanging out doing nothing. Ms Akira decided to spend her time reading a book with me at the computer while I was waiting for blogger to make an apperance.

Bujang thinks he's a little kitten and decided to make a grand appearance. These days, he spends a bit of time sitting on the computer table when Akira and I are at the computer. I think he likes our company and the warmth from the table lamp.

For once Toro minded his own business and decided that there was nothing as interesting as napping. :)

Welcome Note

Welcome one and all to our adventures for today. We must say that our 45 minutes along the corridor today was indeed marvellous and fabulous, fantastic even. (san, can you type quickly please so we can tell our story)

Firstly, we welcomed san home and made a great fuss over her. We know that if we act forlorn and cute, she would let us out...and she did. We had so much fun today. We think san said "It was a day of firsts." We agree wholeheartedly so let us tell you or rather we will alllow san to tell you our story. We call these entries - Three on an adventure. Uhum..let's begin then...

Mdm A uncovers a secret

Ms Akira aka Mdm A looking around nervously to see if she has been spotted.

She has discovered something, something not even I had seen. She is a very curious little detective is Mdm A.

What? Can it be true? Is that a s...h...o...e? What is happening here?

Let me get closer. I could be imagining things! But no...its really a red sneaker. I wonder why only one sneaker was wedged here? What crazy games can these humans be playing now?

Mdm A taking a good sniff. PHEW! What gives? Afraid that she would falter and faint from the experience, she quickly made her way home and to rest with her smelling salts.

Let's get on with life then

Bujang learnt quickly from Ms Akira and decided to make his feelings known by trying to slash at the leash. He was really impatient for his turn. Usually he would wait quite placidly for his turn to go out but I guess he wanted to tell me that it was time some one else gets a chance.

Toro makes up his mind

After waiting for Akira to come home and watching the melodrama of Bujang trying to dismember the leash, Toro finally got to go out to explore the neighbourhood. He lost no time and sped away from the house towards the stairs. He is getting more used to his jacket and although he did stalk a bit, he did it very quickly. He made no protest when I put his jacket on him and so I guess he knows the rule - jacket = walks. :)

Today we are going down

Toro decided that today was the day to cross bounderies. He had several choices to make - to do the usual and sniff plants, to go up the stairs or to go down the stairs to areas unknown. He weighed his options carefully and took some experimental sniffs along the railings to make his decision. Finally after a great long roll on the ground, he made up his mind. DOWN the stairs it is. This collage tells the story of his very gradual descent - one step at a time. But he got there- finally. :)

And once more - downward

Toro looking into the unknown once again and he had a decidon to make - again. He sat down thinking about his options. As usual, I waited for him to make up his mind.

Let's just kill this bug!

Toro went all the way down and turned right. He heard a dog barking and wanted to go home. The only trouble is, THIS was not our home. It was my downstairs neighbour's house - directly under mine. The orientation was the same, only the floor was different. My poor cat was confused and so I carried him home myself. He was very quiet in my arms and we reached home safely. Bujnag was waiting for his turn to go out and so I put him in his red jacket and off we went.

Circle of Light

Bujang meditating in the middle of the stairs. He was quite mesmerised by the sun rays and had decided to go up the stairs to meet them. He sat for a bit here as did I. I waited for him to make up his mind where he wanted to go. Finally he did go all the way up and then turned around and went down the stairs to see the neighbour's junk, but not before he made this rather good choice for himself. The next few pictures are just of him going upstairs. I am quite proud of Bujang as this was the first time in all his 2 years that he decided to explore the unknown.

Bujang walking towards the light :)

4) Finally Bujang reached the light. He stood there, in the middle of the stairs for about 10 seconds. I had filmed him going up the stairs but the hp kind of shook and the video was shot. Nevertheless this is quite a good pic of his ascent :)

3) One more step...just one more.

2) Bujang deliberated on what he wanted to do. I just waited for him to make up his mind.

1) Bujang actually had to make a choice - down the stairs to meet the neighbour's junk or to go up - to meet the light :)
