LITTLE CHLOE IS AFRAID OF THE TEDDY BEAR

Yes... My little puppy is a coward... We should change her name to Chloe The Cowardly Dog instead.

Went home to parents' for 5 days. Came back by flight 'cus B only got to stay 2 days this time around, due to visitors from Spain.

Anyway, to welcome me home, he bought a big white teddy with the sweetest face and pink ribbon, and placed it at the front passenger seat. As we approached the car, I saw this baby sitting there, waiting for me!

Thereafter, we headed home. Then nightmare for Chloe started. At first, she was so glad to see me. Been missing me a lot, according to B - she was just not her usual self.

But as soon as little Chloe saw this teddy, she freaked out! It took us 2 whole days just to convince her that it's harmless. But then again, can't blame her, right? 'Cus this teddy is 4 times her size. Hehehee...

MORE ON PEBBLES

Ok, it’s a new day. We woke up early, determined to fix the area - my way. :P

When I told B of my idea yesterday after the disaster, he went “Aiyo, dear… Why didn’t you tell me earlier…? Next time, tell me please…” Hearing that and feeling guilty, I gave him my 'you caught me grin' and went “Ehe, hehehee…” :P Hahahaa... Works best when you've got no answer to provide, trust me.

And yeah, we went out for breakfast and dropped by the same nursery to buy more pebbles and smaller stones.

Back home, we had to remove all the pebbles that we have laid yesterday and wash every single piece off mud. So it’s back to square one, with lots and lots of washing. :P

With the pebbles removed, the land now looks like moon surface. So we had to even out the land again before we could start. After that, small stones followed by pebbles. Talking about double job with extras. :P

We spent the whole Sunday afternoon just tending to the backyard. Hardwork but fun. It felt very much like being on the beach and playing with sands, but minus the sea breeze and water. :D

The area looks good now and both of us are very happy with the result, thanks to my geniusness. Makes me wonder how the world would be without a brainy like me...

OF PEBBLES AND MUD

As mentioned in the previous post, we bought lots of things for the backyard. Once home, we hit the backyard and started working.

It was a nice afternoon, cool and breezy, with minimal sunlight. Finished with plants, we started working on the pebbles. One piece at a time… With lotsa love…

We completed the task after several hours, and B, being excited to try out the result, started pouring water onto the spot. It started flooding a little bit and being naughty or whatever that you call it, he stepped on parts of the area. To my horror, the pebbles started to sink and water turned into mud! There goes our hard work for the afternoon! Looking at the mess, we called it off for the day.

Being the smarter one, I actually thought of layering the area with sand or smaller stones first. Only then, the pebbles will follow. But I kept it to myself, since B is the Project Manager - if you know what I mean… :P Hehehee…

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

We were driving home after lunch and having bought lotsa stuffs for the backyard. As we turned into the road up the hill where our home is, I noticed one side of a slippers in the middle of the road. All sorts of speculations started crossing my mind…

“I wonder what happened here… Did anyone just have an accident or something? Or was it something else…”

As I was entertaining my thoughts, a motorcyclist at the roadside caught my eyes. The motorcycle was wobbling as a result of him slowing down and looking for something at the same time. Being a curious creature, my eyes started searching around also, wondering what was it that he’s looking for.

Then I noticed that it’s actually his slippers! The one on the right foot had fallen off! I immediately burst into laughter and so did B. Apparently, he went through the same sequence of thoughts as I did, and noticed the motorcyclist’s barefoot at the same time. The timing was just so right - we started laughing at the exact same moment. Hehehee…

The whole situation was really comical, and we’re glad that nothing bad happened. It’s only a clumsy motorcyclist with his slippers. :>

Lesson to learn here : Always wear a proper pair of shoes when riding a motorcycle or bicycle. You won’t want to lose a shoe! :P
