December 2008

December, as with all the other months, simply flew by! With (lots of) work, Christmas present wrapping, shopping & preparing for my Christmas trip with the family, cleaning the apartment (a never ending saga!), taking Tisha & Boo to the vet, catching up with friends.. I was one busy gal!

I had quite a bit of leave to clear, so I took 4 days off and had a good break from 24 December right up till 1 January 2009. Christmas with the family at Fraser's Hill from 24 to 26 December was GREAT! The weather was nice and cool.. a good change from the heat at home!

I spent the rest of my break cleaning my apartment, especially my wardrobe! Now, it's in great shape.. YAY! I'd also managed to take Tisha and Boo to have them spayed and spent like half a day at the vet! And, I got to meet up with Lisa for lunch on New Year's eve.

New Year's eve was a quiet one for me at home with my kitties. All the kitties are doing fine.. Tisha still doesn't get along with Girl and sometimes Girl just chases Tisha around for the heck of it - I never knew Girl actually had it in her to be mischievious! The kitties never cease to amuse me with their cuteness, which is a good thing 'coz I'd usually take pictures of 'em - good for me to practise taking pix and experiment with the cam. Check out these pix..


Experimental shots of Girl..

Girl finally finds a perfect book for her.... to use as a pillow! Incidentally, the book on Bali was a Christmas gift from Fred (good one, Fred.. thanks!) and it's perfect fro me to read to keep me informed for my trip to Bali in October 09.

Chips is a good one to photograph as he usually keeps still long enough for me to take my shot!

Chips is one cat that sure knows how to use a pillow!

He loves sleeping in the sink on hot days.. just like ChaCha used to.. I wonder if it is a male cat thing 'coz none of the girls do it! I particularly like the pix in the middle - Chips looks so "handsome"! Plus, he's such a great cat - so good and loving..

No, I didn't place them this way - it was all them!

SO adorable!
Girl and Chips have a close bond, especially since Girl took Chips under her wing and cared for him since he came in when he was a li'l kitten.

Tisha isn't exactly the prettiest cat or the most photogenic but it's her mannerisms that make her simply adorable! She's very loving.. very curious and a tad mischievious!

Tisha's a cuddle cat - she loves cuddling up next to me with the head on my lap.

Boo is a lap cat and just loves jumping on my lap. She'd usually go off and do her thing bat every now and then will pop by to land on my lap. If I'm not seated, she'll meow her head off till I do so she can jump on! Quite demanding this one!

Yup, all these pix were of her on my lap and, yup, I took 'em myself - trial and error la.. the beauty of a digital cam! Oh, and Boo has the most gorgeous green/grey/blue eyes!

An experimental shot of her.. and that's her curiously checking out the moving image my lap top!
Here are more experimental shots of...

The moon..

Rain.. and I'm determined to get better shots!

These aren't experimental but just shots of what I (at the time) thought was interesting and they were all taken using my camera phone (hey, I like taking pix but I don't bring my cam everywhere y'know..)

The chatty cat at William's, the makan place near my home. I had some pix of this fella in an earlier post but couldn't resist taking another pix of him on my way to work 'coz he's such an 'in your face' friendly kitty. I took the shot of the bottle of wine at Marks & Spencer 'coz I was quite amused with the quirky name and the even quirkier label!

These pix were taken from various angles of the biosphere at Petrosains.. Must try taking more pix with a proper cam.. and an actual pix of the biosphere itself too!
