shabu-ish sunday

i am so stuffed.
thanks to babysis who insisted on having shabu shabu at home. she always gets what she wants. only because we love to make her happy. so while she was studying for her exams at home. mum, rave and i went on a daughter /mother / son in law shopping spree.

first we 'shopped' for a dog.
everyone must have received this sms one way or another.
"Petshop at Joo Chiat Closing tml. 2 huskies, 1 black labrador,1 shihtzu,1huskie terrier cross breed 2giv away. If not they're gona b putdown. details pls call Mariam 97302064. Pls forward."
it must be widely circulated because i received this sms from 5 diff pp who were not related in anyway with each other. the power of sms is simply overwhelming. Anyway i called the number repeatedly but it was to a 'not available' msg. well. hopefully they managed to foster the dogs out.
anyway we went to see another 6 cross breed puppies looking for foster homes. they belonged to my mum's fren who already had 3 dogs.


relak jack. the father

protector. the mother

wild. the kids

the rest of them

it was an absolute headache trying to figure them out. by names or by features they looked all alike. haha. anyway we decided against adoption this time round coz of several factors. i suppose we expected at least one to warm up to us. at least curl up and ask for a tummy rub or something. and the only one which did was already taken. damn. the rest were pretty hostile to us. and i tawt it was really wierd for schnau-tzus to have long skinny tails. but generally like all other dogs, they were just plain cute.

after the failed attempt to adopt a puppy, we headed to Meidi-Ya for some jap grocery shopping. and we already sworn it was the last time we went there the previous time. all coz we spent $200 for shabu food. where else would you find cabbage and tao gey at $10 per packet. but we did it again. and we remarked that the money spent could get us a good and comfortable meal in a restaurant.again.


guess what cost $35.25

freaking ex but bloody fresh sashimi & kajiki
yumzzzzzz

mushroom galore

the shabu shabu party.
and much more.

but anyway. it was squishy and hot trying to fit all of us at the table. but nothing beats having an ' expensive' dinner in the comfort of mum's place with your loved ones, legs up , messy hair, and foul language sprouting all over in the conversations. i like!
