biscotti inside + chinta

main activities: eating, finding comfy spots to sleep on

even on a bit of blanket that's fallen

hahhahaha i stuck a borders price tag on her head and she had no reaction

kawaii hana ne


wow a perfect crest

vaf vaf!

ah! bonjour monsieur marcel.
he is the french bulldog from ici et là the antique-ish furniture store in surry hills

kept on licking his paws. and then lied down in the middle of the entrance blocking some customers' path

he's famous

pet visitors

today yasmin came over with her rabbit, "Bruce", or "Bruce Bear" as she likes to call him.

He was soooooo round and fluffy and really a good rabbit - doesn't bite and not overly shy. this is the ultimate bunny man. but she found bernie and mimi scary T___T which is kinda true when you compare them... my one (still doesn't feel like it) is more like a hare than a pet rabbit since it's body is longer and face is sharper. the harness we tried to put on mimi couldn't even fit since her head was too small. T___T smaller brain?

yea anyways it was slightly frightening since Bruce seemed so calm and "docile" (haha she was saying if Bruce was a dog he'd be a labrador) and the other two was all hyper. but i find rabbits a bit scary since they move quick, and they don't make a sound like those silent villains in movies. like with a guinea pig you can tell what they're gonna do since they squeak or make chattering noises but rabbits are just so much more creepy. haiyah this is kinda sad. my rabbits are not that scary.

i let mimi out since girl and boy won't fight and i was wary of bruce potentially mounting mimi, but no. it was the other way around!! T_____T it was disturbing to see...

and even though "Bruce & Bernie" sounds like the ultimate guy-couple, Bernie looked too aggressive and hyper and bit Bruce from the inside of the cage!! (the T____T emoticon has lost all meaning)

*rush*


*ennngggh!* (struggling sfx)

so we didn't let them run around together in case anything happened. and when he was being bit, had no reaction! such a nice bunny!! (he is a bunny. less than half a year probably)

and when he met chinta,

we're the same colour!

he put his head near her face to nudge and tell her to lick him!
illustrated by the dutch couple (see, they're nice too):

but chinta, known for biting sophie when fiona put them together once, was looking a bit dangerous - her mouth was kinda opened. probably and most likely ready to bite. why are they all like this?

nothing happened though. and for the rest of the day, bruce just wandered around chinta's cage (she is inside) and behind the washing machine in the laundry. he didn't pee.


on another note....
sophie and bowlar went home yesterday and because the cage was all folded and put in the trunk of the car, they were put in the back seat of the car and walking around!! and they're quite talented too. when i was at their house - the person's house, not their cage - they can find their house (in another room) from the living room and climb the cage door to jump in to their house!

and they sleep so cute lying on their sides like this:

(i was blinking at her pretending to look asleep and her eyelids started drooping but when i stared at her, she stared back with eyes full open again.)


and since no pet talk is complete without biscotti, here:

after i called her name: "what?"

chowwww

(reminds me of the ccs episode when kero was lost and stayed at this little kid's house and he couldn't speak so only said "chau chau")

anyways.
these are baby chow chows that might be martha stewart's new dog. they're soooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!! the round face, short legs, slit eyes and the the floppy ears!!!!!! (click to make them bigger and smile at the computer screen for the next hour)

pom, rabbits, biscotti

photos from yesterday and today:

new pomegranate drink. quite tasty but can't really taste the mango and one bottle is TWO serves -___-.

the hutch

bernie stepping on the pellet bowl to get to the vegetables. food bowl on the second level before it toppled off and food was wasted T__T (the covered front legs makes his head looks big lol)

my new obsession with rabbit noses XD

biscotti walking cool-y. i like her round face here hehe

biscotti sleeping with trees in the background

bolt, bernie, mimi

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
got a family pass to see BOLT!!!! hehehe it was an online competition from a Christian radio show lol that luckily happened to be on when they were advertising the comp :D :D :D :D yippeee!!

anyways, the rabbits came yesterday and the person brought them in a PROPER carrier case for pets. and the cage was a PROPER rabbit hutch with two levels and a section for sleeping and latches that open for easy cleaning. and in the bag of supplies, there was medicines for worming and mange mites (which have been actively used judging by the liquid level), PET nail clippers (which was so cute and small), a chewing TOY that looked like carrots (awwww) and a snack! such a responsible pet owner!!! and there was even a litter tray that was put into the poo area of the cage. how smart!

and for the actual rabbits....they were so cute!!! the grey and the brown colour was so perfectly smooth!
STATS:
Bernie - boy, grey, neuteured, confident
Mimi - girl, brown, fertile, a bit shy
and both are nearly a year since the owners bought them in January

so i spent most of yesterday just sitting infront of their hutch and staring at them (does not get boring. ever) and fed them (ie bernie, since the girl was still shy) some grass - which can always beat freshly cut vegetables for some reason.

and then later let them run in the garage for like one plus hours, which they did. RUN or like hop ENDLESSLY. migod i was getting hungry since haven't eaten that day, but couldn't catch them without worrying that they'll be tramautised and scared of me. but finally can of course..and got scratches all over my arms :"( and now i figured out how to carry them properly - like a cat, but have to hold their hind legs together. like when my piano teacher holds the arms of her cat to stop him scratching lol.

and then at night, the SLUGS rose up from the ground onto the cage!!!! ihhhhh so gross so had to kick it off with my sandal, and squished a few in the process of moving the hutch from the backyard into the garage.

ok that's it.
bye.

and lemme show u my findings which all turned out to be from the Eat/Drink section.
(click on the names for the twothousand.com.au link for info on description, location, price, opening times and phone number)
the red writings are what made me drool when browsing the page

WAFU - japanese (surry hills)
www.wafu.com.au
gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, no refined sugar, organic

Tempura, ohitashi greens, teriyaki, katsu and sashimi salads - alongside mountains of brown rice.

FAT SANDWICH SHOP - (neutral bay)

The corned beef and pickle; the roast beef, potato salad, and mustard; and the chicken, basil, avocado, and water-cress sandwiches are all enormous and delicious. The chicken, basil, and asparagus soup is very filling, and the caramel slices and brownies are "the bomb".

CENTRAL BAKING DEPOT (CBD) - (wynyard)

you'll smell the caramalised banana tarts and freshly baked pies and pizzas from your office.

DUMPLINGS AND NOODLES - (kings cross)

cos how can dumplings and noodles not be good

BURGERLICIOUS - (bondi junction, newtown, darlinghurst)
www.burgerlicious.com

Firstly, they're made fresh right in front of you.

Second, they're effing huge. Third, the chips are real, thick cut slabs of potato. Fourthly, there are 18 styles, from your good old cheeseburger to your gourmet Greek-style beef with tzatziki, fetta and grilled eggplant. Six different chicken burgers and four, count them, FOUR vegetarian varieties, made with tofu, red kidney beans or veggie patties that are so good, even vega-phopic meat lovers have been known to "experiment".

i've actually passed this shop often on the way to tutoring it's quite now, i think opening only last year. but never went in cos the shop sign looked weird with red lips as the "O" in burgerliciOus.

FAMOUS SINGAPORE BBQ PORK - (chinatown)

in case somebody didn't know about this - which i highly doubt. or they can just remember the real one and start craving some.

and found a site that sells some of the things in fred flare!! like the "tape dispenser" and... can't remember what else:
ROBIO

and there was a DIY tofu-oyako kit! hahahha the name is so cute!

The To-Fu Kubrick set gives you the ability to design your own To-Fu Kubrick! Includes 100% Mother To-Fu Kubrick, 50% Child To-Fu Kubrick Zipper Pull and special mini sharpie marker printed to collaborate Devil Robots' 10th Anniversary!

and did i mention it's an AUSSIE site? yippee can ship~ can ship~
but i wouldn't get this though. cos i probably can't think of what to draw and never be satisfied with it.

oh, and this is fiona's guinea pigs:

bowlar on the left and sophie on the right

nguik times 2

i will be getting two rabbits!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe since cc cindy's friend is going to indo for good and so needs a new caretaker for his/her rabbits!
so far, all i know is: they're dutch rabbits (a small rabbit but bigger than dwarf), adult already, been spayed, and come ready with their own cage, food bowl, drink bottle etc! yay yay yay

i hope their cage is easy to clean and most importantly not afraid of people and doesn't scratch like oreo

and look at the "aloha~" rabbits! so cute!


but probably sold out by now cos i "add to basket" it and when i clicked on it again, it was "out of stock". i wish they'd open up an aranzi aronzo store here T___T. (or else i can just go to hong kong, taiwan, oosaka or fukuoka i wish) and why shipping fee so expensive especially to "oceania" *tear*

oh oh. just remembered there's such thing as clay! can always make your own cups and then draw on it right.... (omg copyright infringement) but the plastic ones are so much cuter!

(btw, saw today in borders another unnatural sounding word: thesauri -___-")

*update*
this is what the rabbits look like

small ei!

whoa new look!

hellow hellow! i changed the layout! since brown was getting a bit uncheery (and i just found the "upgrade template" button hehe).
i'll upload a pic for the header soon once i can think of what to put...

but how do you change the font size of the writings on the right - the archive and the links?

i made some stuff out of polymer clay yesterday but i'll posts the pics later when the 25th has passed :D
found out about the material when i read about this artist: meredith dittmar in frankie

all the intricate bits! and it kinda makes me feel (and how does that make you feel?) ... like when u watch a science fiction movie with aliens, anatomies stuff yea. describe it urself in ur head.
all these are from her site (click to make them bigger):

for more, go to her flickr

oya btw there are 2 more guinea pigs at home right now: sophie and bowlar, since my friend went on holidays for three weeks. they're so cute and tubby! and of real guinea pig size! they live in a mansion which is obviously very big, and i'm guessing get fed vegetables often so when i give them some, they eat slower and less excited-ly than chinta. i'll put up the photos later...when they're in a cleaner environment next tuesday.

for the time being.... BISCOTTI!

this was after it had rained and look at the water droplets on the cacti (sounds so unnatural). waa.

and made some peanut butter cookies few days ago from a cakespy recipe,

and it was slightly too sweet. but still tolerable. probably cos i used caster sugar for the "sugar" in the ingredients list so i shall use raw sugar next time (but the cookie dough tasted better than the actual cookie).
i wanna find a chewy/soft cookie recipe next time, instead of the crumbly buttery ones.
why sara lee don't you make your cookie dough no more T___T they were so good...and it's been a while since i've bought mrs fields white choc and milk choc cookies ahhhhhh shall visit them tomorrow

hehehe i've got lists of things to find/look/get pour demain!

oh btw incu has got some of the stuff on fred flare!! but i forgot to look at the price - probably double or triple.
and yay new month tomorrow! *internet. internet. internet.*

biscotti = guinea pig

yesterday there was a mouse/rat (dunno it was the leftovers) in the backyard, and it had these small worms in it....so supposing one of the cats ate it (or both) and got the worms, had to buy t he super expensive $10 for 2 tablets for whatever worm it was...

cotti was first, cos she appeared and meowed first in the morning... and so i tried giving it to her (i gave her a panadol once and it was very easy - but maybe cause she was sick and had no energy to fight back) but then i gave the tablet and after she tasted it she started salivating and the pill popped back out -___- .
so had to give it to her three times before she ate it (and it smelt pretty gross like a true medicine smell) and by the time she swallowed it there was like a clump/line of bubbly medicine/saliva junk on her mouth and on her chin

next phoebe's turn, and since i'm not even gonna try touching her mouth, i smothered the thing with butter and then wrapped it in two layers of ham (i didn't look at the price tag on the wrapper...but it looked like the yum kind) and then i gave it. she ate it. that was it.

o well. i know next time what to do. sorry cotti! hope u get better! (preferable if there wasn't anything to get better-ed in the first place)

photos!

my current character obsession: tofu-oyaku!! this is "eco-tofu" don't ask. (recycled?)biscotti sleeping in the garage between stacked chairs... dunno how she got in though... the gaps were so small!
sorry.. flash sok cool. eating the camera strap

and finally a photogenic photo of biscotti that's not sleeping:

this is the noisy/chubby bird that can't stop jumping and moving its tail
CHINTA!
nyoh so cute. how ur coat glistens..

and finally.... TADAH! yay my ticket came!! but can't watch in school holidays, so i shall watch it next week when my exams will be over! *cheer*
