Happy 12th Birthday Ah ma!

Published by

September 14 2015 was a special day. It was the day that the ancient one (aka Pecan ah ma) turned TWELVE. #omg #whatahugenumber #icanonlycounttoten As usual, birthdays in the Loo Lim Household are a big thing. Well, kinda, only if you’re the beloved furkids. The parents get zilch celebration. #spoiltbrats So, it was party mood all week! Woohoo~ The birthday girl in her bathing suit. #omgagain #oldwomanactyoung It started off with the customary grooming session. #thisonewebothnothappyabout #enoughairtomakeathirddog Photo credit: Wooga This was no usual grooming though.  We actually went for a handstripping session. I’ve been handstripped before and was supposed to be quite accustomed to it.  However, it was Pecan’s virgin handstripping. Hence Mummy was a tad concern that she wouldn’t do well. #sooldstillvirgin #HEHEHEHEHEHE In the end, Pecan did beautifully. Me, on the other hand, cried ‘father and mother’ (even grandmother) when I was being stripped. #asusualsamistherascalofthetwo Mummy was so embarrassed when Auntie Shiting and Auntie Ashley told her that. Oh, in case you’re wondering if it hurts, it really doesn’t. I was just …

Mummy’s Chou Chou

Published by

We’ve had enough.  Enough of Mummy publicly embarrassing us.  From apple heads, to bread faces… to this… #fml  Now it’s time for revenge! In retaliation, we shall wash Mummy’s dirty laundry in public. #likeanyonecares #wesongcanliao Drum rolls~ This is Mummy’s Chou Chou (aka childhood security blanket) – Orson Loo Xiao Ping (affectionately known as Ah Ping). If you’ve been friends with Mummy since her school days, you will know of his existence. #yesheisstillaround Believe it anot, this Chou Chou started off as a PINK stuffed pig.  #ikidyounot It was Mummy’s birthday present from Grandmummy when she was nine. So, this pig is technically 22 years old this year. #oopswejustrevealedmummy’sage #cannotbelievegotthingsolderthanpecan Apparently, Grandmummy forgot about Mummy’s birthday present that year and conveniently stopped by Watson’s (that was next to her office) and grabbed the first stuffie she saw. She actually forgot to remove the price tag! He cost a mere $4.90! #socheaplor Best of all, there’s not one, but two of them! That’s his twin brother, Orwin Loo Xiao Pong (affectionately known as Ah Pong) These …

A ride in a beetle

Published by

We were invited by Volkswagen Singapore to take one of their cars for a test drive. Although our trusty Gin has been pretty reliable for the past year, Mummy was more than glad to ditch him for the weekend for a sleeker ride. #soheartlesshor Hence, there was no way we could even refuse the offer! #mummyisindeedcheapo We stopped by the showroom to pick up our ride and also took the opportunity to ‘mark’ our territory around the vicinity. HEHEHEHEHE #sorrynotsorry Our shallow Mummy was blown away the moment our ride drove up.  But to be honest, it was difficult not to be. Afterall, it was none other than the iconic Volkswagen Beetle! #sostunnedthatsheactuallyforgottotakepictureofitlor How chic is this???? Although the stars decal was part of their design for the recent Night Festival, Mummy loved how it added a extra touch of pizzazz to the already stylish Beetle. #isworeshewasgrinningwhiledrivingitlor #maybethat’showunclesinferrarisfeel #theyayafaceofhers To be honest, we were secretly enjoying how this compact ride turns heads and corners equally well.  #showingoff We were as excited about the Beetle as she was.  Until we …

Sam tested: QuickGrab

Published by

We’ve reviewed treats and services, but certainly not poop bags. Hence, when Auntie Sue Ann dropped Mummy an email about reviewing QuickGrab Fragranced Dog Litter Disposal Bags, she just couldn’t say no! #mummyisacheapola #anythingfreeshealsowant I guess it’s always fun to try something different out. #ifyougiveusfreecupcakeswewillreviewANYTHING As a pup, I used to have a habit of eating poop.  Not my own poop, but other dog’s.  And I loved mine fresh out of the ‘oven’. I actually ran to a pooping Doberman and stood behind his butt to catch the fresh bake that was coming out of the ‘tap’. #mummywasscreamingherlungsoffwhenthathappened #thiswasthereasonwhymyparentsdontletmelicktheirfaces #theystilldontallowme Of course, Mummy wasn’t impressed a bit. Plus, she even earned the title of poop picker by her friends as the first thing she would do when she entered any dog runs was to pick up lying piles. I guess this was when she developed a preference for good poop bags and is really particular about them. She used to use Dogs on Board poop bags and recently switched to Earth Rated Poop Bags. Like me, they are …

Sam tested: Ohiyo Pets

Published by

We were very honoured to be invited by Auntie QY to test out a basic grooming session at Ohiyo Pets. And seriously, the invite couldn’t come at a better time.  We were a week away from our family photoshoot and cheapo Mummy was just about to groom us herself. #lifesaver  So, thank you Ohiyo Pets for this timely invitation!! #cannotimaginehowwewilllookifmummygroomedusherself #disasterevaded #phew “Oi, some privacy please?” #stupidmummy Opened in May this year, Ohiyo Pets is located at 3 South Buona Vista Road (around Pasir Panjang). While the decor isn’t overly elaborated, we definitely like how clean and neat the place is! #samandpecanapproved (Photo source: Ohiyo Pets) While the cleanliness of a grooming salon is an important factor, what matters even more to Mummy was that she got to stay throughout the grooming session.  In fact, it’s really something pet parents should do at each new grooming place! Not only does it help to calm your furkids down, you can even start snapping Instagram-worthy pictures! #posingwhilegroomingisaskillhor After we got cleaned and clipped, we were sent to …

Sam @ School

Published by

I recently started Day School at Puppy Colours. To no one’s surprise, I earned the rank of a troublemaker after just one day. I guess they don’t call us Jack Rascals or Jack Russell Terrors for nothing. #iamsuchanangelwhytheysayinaughty Blending in like a boss. Can’t tell that it’s only my second day at school huh? #Iisanatural #highEQislikethatone Sam, the school troublemaker.  One look at my adorable naughty face and you will know why I am able to earn this honourable title so effortlessly. #whygotdogsocuteone #yayasam #fiftyfacesofsam I may be the oldest kid in school, but I definitely ain’t the best behaved. But oh well, they still adore me to bits. #andsoithinkla Photo credit: Puppy Colours Yap, in case you can’t tell, school days are a blast! Can’t wait to head back next week, #hengmyschoolnohomeworkorexamone #that’swhysofun

Our family photoshoot

Published by

While our parents ain’t really the phototaking/selfie kinda people, Mummy insists on a family photoshoot tradition.  This means that with the addition of a new family member, there must be a photoshoot. When our parents got hitched, they did one. When they got the absolutely adorable world cutest me, we did one in NYC. So now that we’ve ah ma, it’s time for yet another one. #musthurrydobeforeahmaXXX #choy Mummy and Daddy hired Uncle Terry from One Eye Click for their pre-wedding and actual day shoot. She was so pleased with the experience that she knew instantly that she wanted Terry to photograph our future milestones.  In fact, she was super tempted to fly him to NYC for our shoot there. Of course stingy Daddy put a stop to it. #mustprotecthisownpocketma Instead, Mummy found an amazing photographer, Auntie Melissa to do it. But now that we’re back in the little Red Dot, there was no doubt that Uncle Terry had to be the guy! So six years and two furkids later,  here goes… #noneedlovela #twodogsenoughliao Mummy …
