Silly san and her Tuesday tale

Don't listen to san this morning. She is furry crazy and she posted a silly story about us..hrumph......

Cousin R says that Tanaka's eyes are not of the same size and indeed she is right. His right eye is smaller than his left :) It does not seem obvious in this pic but in some others it shows clearly. I have to see which ones first and post it here.

A Very Short Tale

Once a great hunter decided to hunt for his tribe..."What's that?" he said. "Come here Totoro, my 2nd-in-command. Tell me what you see."

And then there were 2 hunters, looking at winged meat on 2 legs. "They're what is called pigeons. I had heard that they are good to eat...if we can only catch them." The 2nd-in-command liked nothing better than to sit and dream of soft breezes and was not all that eager to be jumping across winds to catch flying birds. "We could fall into the great abyss," he thought.

Out of nowhere a third hunter appeared like a great spirit. He was gold and his fur shimmered in the sun(of san's camera). He too stared at the feathered creatures but he knew they would never be able to get them. The feathered birds were like dreams on clouds and they would never be able to cross the great abyss. He knew because err...he was wise beyond his years...

So he told his furred brothers, "Bruffers, let me give you some advice. I am the great sun spirit (see my golden fur) and I was sent here to tell you that if we catch them, we will never be able to dream these wonderful dreams again when we look across the great abyss. Surely you would like to see the feathered creatures rather than those monster things on wheels that never seem to go anywhere..." His bruffers agreed as they knew he was a great spirit (since he told them) and it would be better to believe great spirits. Who knows what may happen if they decided to push him into the abyss. (They are very wise bruffers too )

and so the pigeon-hunters spent their time...

just looking wistfully at the lovely fat pigeons...

that were hanging out on someone's parapet...

and thinking about juicy pigeon pies that they will never have...c'est la vie..

The End

Hello and goodnight

Toro wishing me good morning on CNY day...

I took this pic of Toro this morning when he was looking at a bright CNY morning. Then I remembered he has an appointment with the groomer this Wednesday. He looks really nice in this picture but I think since the days are getting hotter, it would be better for him to have shorter hair, less floofy :) I am only glad he has taken a shine to me brushing his hair everyday for him. I dread to think of the tangles that his fur might get up to if he refuses to allow me to do this. But he is very patient with me and loves to get his head brushed :)

Its too scary

Toro spent the whole afternoon being scared of all the noise from our neighbours CNY guests. The laughter and loud voices were not what the amigos were used to as we live in a quiet floor. The boys spent the day with their ears glued to the door.

Then at about 6, there was a loud crash of cymbals and loud gongs from downstairs. Toro was so scared that he ran all about the house looking for aplace to hide. It was unfortunate that I had locked up tanka in my bedroom as he was eager to help me clear the store room and grandma's room was shut to allow Ms Akira some rest. So he ran all the way to the kitchen and hid behind the dryer. After some time, I had to go rescue him and he scooted out and promptly ran to hide in my bedroom.

By this time, it was time for dinner but none of them (except the intrepid Tanaka and Ms Akira) had the energy to eat. I think they were all rattled from the noise. I had to put Megat in the computer room with his food and he spent the time there in the dark. Bujang ate after some persuasion but Toro refused to eat anything. I was not too anxious as I know he would ask for food when he was hungry (which he did at about 8).

All the boys are now safe in their sleeping quarters and only Ms Akira is out running about the house. I think there might be afew firecrackers tonight but nothing so scary as the cymbals and as they are all in their safe places, I think everyone will be alright :)

Toesty Monday

Hmmm...this is not san's usual post..we have never had toesty monday before...

I wonder why san is taking pikshurs offur my toes...

Its too much of a mystery...

I hope she has finished with my toes...they're all pink in colour...maybe I can get some sleep now...

for #1, Tama-chan and tom :))

Goodnight Sunday

zzzzzz

I just had email from someone who wanted to adopt Tanaka. I had posted his adoption on 17th Dec 2007. Tanaka would be quite flabbergasted if he knew this. Anyway there is not much chance that I would give him up for adoption anyway but it is still strange to get such mail now.

Happy Chinese New Year

This year we do not have pineapple cookies cos san furrgotted. So she was furry embarrassed to say new year wishes. I told her I would say it fur all offur us cos I am a good kitty and can say these fings well.

san says the year offur the oxen is good but we must all try to work hard fur our money. I dunno what she means cos we dun work and we dunno what it is. We only play and eat and sleep wif san and grandma but we hope this year would be good fur all of us kitties and kitty moms and dads and other moms and dads too.

One of these days...

Tanaka: One offur these days, I will get you...

Ms Akira: Yah Right...

Toro: Will you two stop it?

san: You said it toro! But I don't think it will happen any time soon :)

Sunday Outside

Did you hear the news?

No, its not about me looking thin this morning...ahem...

No, its not about Bujang needing me to be wif him all the time outside...

Its about Megat!!! He actually came near the door and took a peek outside. WAH! san was furry surprised and we are furry happy that Megat made it all this way :))

Our New Toy - the Dragonfly

Its here!

Close-up of the dragonfly..it comes in 5 colours but my favourite is otange. It does look pretty realistic...

What the whole toy looks like...the wire allows it maximum flexibility and movement...

Even the wings are a blur in flight....

I have been trying to get this toy for ages. The boys love it as much as they love Da Bird. It has pretty realistic wings that move in a blur with every wire movement. Its really cool. I use it to play with Ms akira at night and she loves catching it in mid-air as well as in nooks and corners and she would race all over the house. This gives her a much-needed break to exercise too. :)
