Or try to bite them (even if Boney M, the NYDC Mascot Dog looks delectably plush : )
Remember the church the dieheart romantic was talking about in an earlier entry? This is it.
[Joyce generously gave me this coaster when I spotted this comic gem on her desk in 2005. Thanks, Joyce! : ) You are such a dear!]
Dash got these red slippers in the States during a one-month sojourn in Dec 2003. Dash liked its simple and comfortable design, and its happy red colour, and named them Fuzzy Left and Fuzzy Right. When Dash is not wearing Fuzzies, she often placed them in the above manner because they looked neater and more snug. 
This yellow helmet sits on the cabinet three cubicles in front of me.
Coffee to go with a Slice of Life

And this is the Life Boat.

DAY 761 
#5 City officials come to your home and say "Your dogs are barking." And you can't figure out what the problem is.
#4 While proudly showing off your family album, your guest asks, "Isn't there anyone else in your family besides the dog?"
#3 You sit on the floor if the dog got in the chair first.
#2 You and the dog come down with something like flu on the same day. Your dog sees the vet while you settle for an over-the-counter remedy from the drugstore.
#1 Your friend's dog acts as Best Dog at your wedding.
This book page inside a glass display at one of the exhibitions in the Sinagpore National Library provided me with an amusing read : )
"There was an open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it." 
Anyone can guess where this picture was taken?

From the 24 March 2006 onwards, we will be bidding our farewells to the KGB Brothers (Ah Kwee, Ah Guan and Ah Beng) and Karen, their lovely assistant. Like the early hawkers, they push this cart to all the floors to sell their food - from Kopi to Teh, Chwee Kueh to Nonya Kueh, Nasi Lemak to Fried Bee Hoon, Tau Huay to Tau Suan. Apparently the KGB's father was the first here, and the KGB brothers then took over from him. In all, they have been here for the past 20 over years in this very same building. Now, this is what I call Family Business : ) We are sad to see them go. But well, to look on the brighter side of things, they have been a most wonderful part of MCYS Family history and our experience!
