Counting sheep

I don't know why my sleeping pattern becomes erratic these days!  >.<

I was asleep by 9.00pm last night (my hair was still very wet at that time & I refused to blow dry it even though I know I might end up with headache the next morning!  Curse myself: real stubborn cow!!!).  Woke up at 2.00am & realized "ooh!  my room is too bright!" then switch off the lights before I dozed off again.  But only to wake up again at 4something & 6something.  Too much distraction!!!

And now...  man...  I seldom catch the midnight news but I am now watching it while composing this.  I was expecting I will get super sleepy after drinking hot milk at 10.  I want to make hot choc drinks but I am still full (the milk!).

Sheep, sheep, sheep.

One.  Black sheep.

Two.  White sheep.

Three.  Pink sheep.  After kena cukur la!

Four.  White-Black sheep.  More black.

Five.  Black-White sheep.  More white.

Six.  Black & White sheep.  Color distribution almost equal.

Seven.  Pink White sheep.  Kerja-kerja mencukur belum disiapkan.

Eight.  Pink Black sheep.  Same as #7 - shaving is not completed yet.

Aiihhhh...  Still, I am.  Wide awake!!!

LouLou the Little Red Riding Hood

“When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her.”

~ Michel de Montaigne quotes (French Philosopher and Writer. 1533-1592)

LouLou was sleeping on my bed this morning,

and I was so tempted to wrap him with my blanket.

I am not sure if he looks like one little red riding hood;

or as if he was cocooned at the middle of a red rose.

I showed him this photo, but I guess I enjoyed it more than he did.

Picture perfect Thursday!

The Patrol Dog - off duty & playing in the rain!

Ahh!!!  I feel so much better exhausting you & myself by running around the garden!

The Rebel: I don't want to go to bed yet!  Let's play again!

Heavily sedated after being hypnotized (not really!)

The Sleeping Beast

Are the bedroom's door open now?

Hmm...  Early sleeper gets the nicest soft, warm spot!

Shorty have a lot of energy in him that he needs longer time to calm down and  sleep   rest.  LouLou, on the other hand, could just fall asleep within a few minutes after settling down in his favorite cozy spot on my bed.  Ooohhh yeah, he is a mean cat who likes to sleep right there in the middle, leaving me little space on either sides!

Good night!

Just for sex & sleep

I moved my 14 inch television to the room downstair after reading this article on The Star:

Keep work materials, computers and televisions out of the bedroom; it should be used for sleep and sex only.

I cannot remember how long I have not been watching TV; mainly because I am too lazy to go downstairs!  Ooh, yeah!  I still use my notebook in the room and (always!!!) bring my working papers on the bed, although I hardly read them it just taking the space which, much to the annoyance of LouLou theCat.

< Looking around my room >

Hmm...  I think I need to take out the newspaper, the work material, stack of books that I have finished from my room.  It looks like a messy office/study room rather than an inviting bedroom!  Tomorrow la!

Goodnight!

We're at it again!

Oops!  We did it again!

Hibernating

I sleep, I sleep & I sleep...

Coffee or Tea?

Cutesy bear from weheartit

I am sleepy.

It is only 1:43pm and I am already into the 3rd mug.

Should I get a cup of tea instead?

Ooh, turtle-ish me!

I woke up late today; amazingly squeezed all my daily routine into 15-minutes, which I leisurely do in 30 to 45 minutes when I am not rushing.  Ooh!  Except that I have to bring along my socks and shoes instead of wearing them before I drove out of the house.

This made me thinking that, instead of forcing myself to wake up at 7 every morning; I should just sleep until 7.30!  Based on today’s situation, obviously I still manage to come to work on time, err… actually, 360 seconds earlier than the schedule!

But then again…

I would not have time to talk to the boys prior leaving them at home.

I would not be able to check my watermelon, chillies and pumpkin.

I might miss the Uncle Newspaper’s delivery at our office (although I still can block and “harass” him when I bump into him at the gate, evil!).

I cannot drive at a turtle’s speed of 60 to 70 kilometres per hour.

Ooh!  I just hate getting up early as much as dashing off to work!

Look into my eyes

This is what my expression today, well, sort of.

The blank look in the eyes sans wet, big nose.

It reads:

"Aww...  I am so lazy to get up this morning.  How I wish it is Saturday."

But it is alright.

At least, comes tomorrow it is Friday.

Post dental

Relief.

After a sleepless night.

Although I have to wait 1.5 hours for the dentist.

I would have "cabut" to other clinic if it wasn't recommended by an acquaintance.

Still, I need a follow-up review for another next three weeks.  The dentist said so.

Relief.

As I walked back into the office, the boss asked me how it went.

And cringed when I described my condition.  LOL!!!

I hope I can sleep well tonight...

What kind of pet owner you are?

Source taken from:  Canine Corner

• Dominionists, who are fond of their pets but view them primarily as useful animals, not companions.
• Humanists, who see their pets as practically human.
• Protectionists, who see animals as separate beings that humans have a responsibility to help and protect. This group includes many people who take in foster pets or volunteer to care for abandoned animals.

So which one is you?

I say I am somewhat between a humanist and a protectionist (based on the descriptions above).

I call them my boys.  Or my furkids.  There was time when one of my colleagues thought I have human kids!  I worry about them when I am not at home, although my neighbors are pretty much caring about them especially Shorty, and try to sneak home during office hours whenever possible!  They sleep with me, yes.  LouLou loves to sleep near my feet but I always ask him to sleep on the makeup table - sometimes he obliged but the bed is still his favorite nest.  Shorty, the big boy, would sleep under the bed or near the door.  Sometimes I call him to sleep near to me so I can touch him while the three of us sleep...

Panda-eyed mommy

I had to wake up at 2am in the morning because Shorty poo-poo on my bathroom’s mat.  I was close to scolding him but when I saw the watery poo, I just called him out from under the bed and hugged him.  The night before, LouLou was meowing fiercely in my face, jumping non-stop from the drawer to my bed and into my face until I opened the bathroom door for him.  He pee-pee, and we were back to sleep again.

Sometimes I just wish that Shorty get more vocal whenever he needs to answer a nature’s call although I find it quite annoying when LouLou persistently meow for the bathroom when I was sound asleep.

But anyway, that is the difference between the two of them.  One just contented doing it quietly without disturbing me (until the stench wakes me up) while another must shake and stir me to get what he wants.  Boys…

Thank God tomorrow is Saturday and I can sleep as much as I want (after two nights of interrupted sleep).

Loving Monday

I was down with stomachache yesterday.  Hence, I had to spend my Monday recuperating at home.  I joked with friends that I was more than willing to get sick every Monday.  I mean, it is better than going through a Monday blues anyway.

Talking about the sickness.  It could be the wantan mee or the ABC that I took last Sunday night.  I have to bar these two stalls unless I really want to get another toilet-attack.

And I am lying about recuperating.  I snoozed for about half an hour before lunch (that was right after I took the medicines – which are to be taken before meal).  That is all.  Afterwards, I cleaned the house.  Do my laundry.  Transfer aloe vera, chilli and watermelons plants from pots to the ground.  Cut the grass using the trimmer.  Until I was attacked by the mosquitoes!  So I had to cancel my plan on washing my car because the itchiness really made me very uncomfortable that I need a shower a.s.a.p.!

I am eager to see how the plants today, especially the chillies since there are so many of it; I think at least 10 tiny trees.

Till then, have a happy Tuesday!

From weheartit.com

It is 2am now.

I don’t suffer from “Sleepless in  Seattle  my bedroom” or insomnia.

It is all because of Shorty.

Howling, barking and crying when I just about to sleep.

I can’t just ignore him, although I wish I could.

So every time he cries, I pat him and ask him what’s the matter?

Such a big baby!

Now, Mr. Boss, I have a request.

Can I sleep until noon?

Super Sunday

• Super-charged:  Cannot sleep because I took a long afternoon nap (~2 hours).  Not a pleasant rest as I woke up feeling dizzy and as if my brain is going to burst!
• Super-irritated:  Found LouLou theCat was sleeping at the end of the bed, not a pleasant one too because he haven't take I haven't take him for his weekly shower.
• Super-picky eater:  Am planning for an early morning breakfast at the town but I'm getting bored with the food menu offered there.  Will eat sandwich at home instead.
• Super-lazy:  Car is not wash for almost a month, I think so.  LouLou's paw prints is visible.  So is the birdie's poo and some little branches and leaves.  Reason for not cleaning the car:  The unpredictable wet weather.  (Valid when it is a monsoon season.)
• Super-hungry:  Had cheesy ham sandwiches with tea for supper.  Still, my tummy growling for more food.  I cannot go to bed with hungry stomach!  Tata!  I'm going to cook boiled egg for another round of supper!

All I want for a Saturday morning

Getting hot and wet

Don't be fooled by the title!  {wink}

It just me trying to do more physical stuff around the house.  I thought I want to start joining yoga classes again but my schedule didn't permit me to.  Besides, the yoga class is quite a distance from my house.  Last time, my yoga class was situated just 5 minutes drive from home.  I could have just walk/jog to the class actually.  But geez...  After 1 hour or so of yoga, I usually drive home starving!  So no to far, far away class or else my little tummy will suffer.

So after work I decided to clean and mop the floor.  Then rearranging the sofa.  {erm, not nice}  Then still not satisfied, try to rearrange the sofa.  At last, I just rearranged it to the original position.  Silly, but I love to rearrange stuff once in a while.

Still, all these work didn't makes me sweat at all.  Zero.  What a disappointment!

Ooh, the floor is clean and shiny now.  No traces of Shorty theDog's and LouLou theCat's paw prints.  No furs.  They have to sleep outside tonight so I get to maintain the cleanliness at least for one more day.

Edited:
Shorty made a sad face and LouLou pretended to be sleeping when I asked them to sleep outside.  I ended up letting them running around in the house (and making mess in the process) before we went to bed.

Flavors of the month

• Song:  爱上你 (Loving You) by S.H.E.  Can't stop playing this song again and again whenever I'm back from work.  Yesterday I found a very good blog where it translated the lyrics in pinyin and English!
• Food:  Home-cooked.  (Whoelses, hold tight to your chair!  LOL!!!)  Despite my limited capability to cook, I try to treat myself a home-cooked meal at least twice a week.  Nothing complicated, yet.  Most likely I'll just have a stir-fry mixed vege.  I just got to have my greens "contaminated" with other colors like white (tofu , fish cake) and yellow (young corn, egg, button mushroom).  Otherwise I'll keep thinking that "vege is so yucky and bitter!".  I'm skipping the deep-frying dish because I'm still recovering from cough.  Besides, I hate it when the oil is splattered while putting the food into the hot oil.
• Pastime:  Sleep!!!  I feel like I'm very deprived from a suffient sleeptime.  :(((((  Enough said.  I'm going to bed now.  Good night!

Now where are we?

The boys are still excited about the new place.  They keep running in and out, and around the house.  I hope I have a boundless energy and enthusiasm like them.  By the way, the opposite neighbor have 7 dogs in all sizes!  My godness!

But despite their difference in sizes, I can generally say that they are too well overfed.  When I saw the tall one (sorry, I am illiterate when it comes to dogs breed), I thought she/he is pregnant (I need to verify on this one too).  Not until I met the other 5 smaller and shorter comrades of it.  So round, as shapeless as a bolster!  I took Shorty out to meet them today.  Well, I was supposed to introduce them earlier but it was raining in the past few days.

Few units away from me is another white Labrador (I think it is a Labrador) whom got excited to see us passing by the neighborhood street.  Geez!  These dogs makes me envy about their perspective of life.  Dogs say:  "If there's a new comer in the street, greet them and try to sniff them eventhough you're tied to gate / locked in the cage."  Me, I get tongue-tied whenever I see my neighbors.  All I do is smile while my mind is racing to think the appropriate line.

Anyway,  LouLou was attacked right at the car porch last night.  That stupid big cat.  You think your ancestor own the street huh?  My little boy is new to the place and if you don't welcomed him here, stay far, far away.  Why need to launch an attack!?  Ah, this really worried me because I don't want to keep them in the house.  Last night I let him sleep in the house as I don't want the fat intruder to disturb him.

My boys!

Synchronized your sleep

Was browsing the old photos of Shorty and LouLou.

I realized how funny they look when they were sleeping in such position:

In the kitchen

At the front door
