We are the Dino Dogs!

Published by

Mummy is getting a tad bored of our boring grey wall and how it’s showing in our photos. To spruce our shots up, she decided to get crafty! #wethinkshehastoomuchtimeonherhands A quick trip to Art Friend and she was ready to get crafting. #wecanhelpbutyoumustpayintreats #mummycannotsaynotothesefacesone A couple of hours in… and wala~ #howcomeitlookslikeprimaryschoolkidswork To be honest, while Mummy is quite fond of scrapbooking and stuff, she really isn’t the most artistic person around.  #notevenclosecan So to be safe, she got tree and cloud templates off the internet. And since our printer is kaput, she had to use baking sheet to trace them out before drawing them onto coloured paper. #cheapoislikethatone #havetoimprovise Presenting our new backdrop! Mummy’s tip: Use Blue-tac to secure the items to the background. This will allow you to shift the trees and clouds around as you deem fit. Plus, you can reuse the background for the next project. #mummycheaposodon’twantotstickitdown #mustreuseandsavemoneyma Looks pretty good right? Of course our mummy isn’t that creative to come up with this from scratch.  That’s what Pinterest is for! …

The good ol’ days – NYC

Published by

Just a couple of months more will mark the 4th year I am back in Singapore Yap, in case you’re new here (Hi welcome!) or can’t be bothered to scroll back to past entries (guilty~ like me..hehe), I am a New Yorker. True blue one somemore. #thesinglishonlyhappenedafterIcameback #Iusedtospeakinanaccenthor I was born in New York state and stayed in Manhattan till I was almost 3, before I was whisked off to this little island. To kinda mark the end of our adventure there, Mummy organised a photoshoot around our few favourite spots in the Big Apple. And since Mummy spent too much money on it, she decided that it’s time to go through them and showcase it on the blog again. #cheapoislikethatone #mustkeepreusinguntilpeoplearesickofseeingit #sitinharddiskdonothingalsowastemoneyma Here goes… No one place can replace this place in my heart. Ever.  My heaven on earth is, of course, Central Park. It was the one place Mummy and I spent one too many afternoons at, all year round. Erm, should I be seeing this? #oiyoursonishere #noPDAleh #buaypaiseh My happy place! This …

Sam’s house tour – our mudroom!

Published by

We’ve finally settled into our new place after a good three months! #ourparentshaveofficiallygivenuponunpacking #whatisleftintheboxwillforeverremaininthebox #wedonotcarecoswehaveallourtreatswithus So I guess it’s about time we offered you a house tour! Bit by bit k? #nochoicecosourhouseverysmall #donothavemuchtoshowtobehonest #sosadhor We shall start with our very own Mudroom! “No treats no pass” Well, technically, our place is so small, we don’t have a mudroom. #soundatasonly It’s more like an entryway la. Mummy always wanted a space to put all our barang barang and she even tried to incorporate it in our Senja flat previously. But since we only did a partial reno when we moved back from the states, there wasn’t much she could do at that time. #messieristheinthinghor #wegottoomanythingsla #notourfaulthor Hence, this was one thing she was very particular about when renovating the new place. Since we didn’t have an ID (we went with our good ol’ contractor who has since joined a bigger firm and became a project manager), Mummy had to crack her brains to come up with a design that will fit our her needs. #thankgodforgoogleandpinterest Another …

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 …

Craftholic bunny!

Published by

Mummy and Daddy went shopping for a birthday presents today and along the way, they also stopped by Craftholic to buy each of our four cousins a small stuffy each. While looking around, one of the bunnies caught Mummy’s eye and she thought that it would suit Pecan perfectly! So she attempted to convince Daddy. Of course, his first reaction was ‘No’. Typical~ But after some persuasion, Daddy gave it and bought something for all the little girls in his life! Mummy – 2314231231 vs Daddy – 0 And when they brought it home, Pecan ah ma was over the moon! Fitting her small built like a T. She’s totally owning it. You think it’s the end of the story? Tsk tsk tsk… Nooooooo… of course not. Ho ho ho… When Mummy called her over to the kitchen to reward her for posing for the shots, I did what any rascal cunning dog normal boy will do. I STOLE HER BED. WAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  It’s so comfy~~ Me likey~  Now I’m a little upset why Daddy din’t buy …

Our newest toy – An Instax Share Printer!

Published by

So Mummy had her eyes on an Instax Share printer for a long loooong while. The only thing was that it was a little costly. And when she finally couldn’t take it anymore, she sent Daddy the link and requested for him to buy it for her as a gift. And that almost THREE weeks ago. Everyday for three weeks, Mummy would come home expecting a parcel for her.  But it never came. Why? Cos Daddy kept forgetting. Mummy would always end up disappointed and proceed to nag Daddy to buy it soon. Tsk tsk tsk “Daddy, how can like that?” *Disapproving looks* And when Mummy surprised Daddy with a PS4, he must have felt like shit and quickly got around to buying the printer. (See la~ Guilty then buy. PUI~) Within two days, the printer arrived! As usual, we were pretty excited whenever there’s a box! Can’t wait to find out what’s in it. We’re keeping our paws crossed that it’s treats. When Mummy opened it, I was in disbelief. NO TREATS AGAIN?! Even …

Daddy’s new toy

Published by

Mummy had to work late and tasked Daddy to watch over us for the evening.  However, stupid Daddy actually ditched us at Grandmummy’s and by the time Mummy came home, she was rather pissed to find us missing. Yap, there was no welcome dance from me and Pecan. Booooooo~ To make things worse for Daddy, Mummy actually bought him a big pressie. So when he saw the present, he let out an apologetic and sheepish smile. Stupid Daddy. Just to make sure that we didn’t miss out on the surprise, Daddy actually waited for us to return home to unveil the present. We were elated to see such a huge box! “Is it a box full of treats?!?” Daddy: “It’s not edible! And it’s mine!” Huh? For once, the exciting item that came through our door wasn’t for us. Oh well… And we weren’t sure if we were allowed to use the contents of the box. And when Daddy said yes, we couldn’t wait to find out what the amazing item was.  I mean, it’s …

New Sheets!!

Published by

After what seems like forever, mummy finally got around to getting me new sheets for my Wanmock! Okay, I approve! What’s not to like when it’s my favourite colour and has a lame comic!  So me. *Wriggles butt* Mummy decided to use a “M” size shirt that Daddy bought from Bangkok. (Poor daddy had to sacrifice  a tee for me, but again, too bad lor~) It’s a great fit and the sheets are tight and taut, making it alot more comfortable to lay on. At least my fat backside isn’t sinking this time round.  *Pleased grinz* Okay, enough for now. I want to sleep.  Leave me alone.

My demanding mummy…

Published by

Mummy fell in love with this homemade Modern Geomatric DogHouse. (source: Home Made Modern) Being the unreasonable person she always is, she decided to request this as her birthday present. I accidentally chanced upon the email she sent daddy. Demanding Mummy.   Poor Daddy. But again, who cares.. since I stand to benefit! =D

Sam’s vintage suitcase dog bed…

Published by

My fabulous parents spent their whole saturday making me my very own vintage suitcase dog bed! Crafty mummy and handyman daddy turned this green suitcase.. Into this amazing dog bed! From this fugly green lining, that was really dirty and smelly (tho I kinda liked the smell..). Into this fabulous dog print lining! I did a test run… by tossing… and turning..  and requested for the bed to be shifted near the window… before, stamping my paw of approval. Thank you Daddy and Mummy!!
