Guest 小贵客





  前几天家里来了一位小客人,小马脸猫 Mandy!Uncle Glenn 去旅行,所以把她托给我们照顾。

  这小猫咪一来就老实不客气的吃我的食物,喝我的水,用我的便盆,睡遍我所有的安乐窩。更过份的是,居然连大人也让她给霸住了!是可忍,孰不可忍,我当然得好好宣示我的主权才行,把我的大人还给我,吼!

  好啦!大家嘛知道我是「俗喇」一名,其实我是在害怕啦!虽然她只是小小一只,我还是只敢远远的发威而己。嘻!这还是修饰过的门面话,更贴切的是发出惊怒的低吼声,=.=|||

  这小猫不盯不行哪,我稍为不注意,她就来抓我的尾巴,吓死我了!放饭时,她很快的就把自己的那份觧決掉,之后就不停的骚扰我,玩我的尾巴,害我一边吃饭还得三不五时回头嗤嗤叫,这小坏胚就是不肯让我好好吃顿安乐饭,超级讨厌的小鬼!

  好加在沒几天小猫就让她爸爸给接回去了。呼!终于可以回归我清静的生活,拜了,小鬼!

大人说:小猫超粘人,跟前跟后粘答答!我走她跟着走,我坐她就跳上来要抱。可怜的 Bobo 只能远远的用哀怨的眼神望着我们。看看不忍心,就暂时把小猫关到房门外,让 Bobo 进来,摸摸她,她居然开始伊伊呜呜的发起牢骚来,好像受了多大委屈似的,爆笑!

A guest arrived at our house a few days ago, tiny 'horse'-faced kitten, Mandy! Uncle Glenn and his family had gone on holiday, so we were in charge of taking care of her for the time being.

As soon as she arrived here, she began unabashedly eating my food, drinking from my water bowl, using my litter box, and sleeping at all my usual haunts. Even more atrocious was that she even took over Mom! I really couldn't tolerate it anymore, thus I decided to declare my sovereignty, return Mom to me, rawr!

Okay, as everyone knows, I'm a known coward, in truth, I was frightened of her! Even though she was just a tiny thing, I only dared to unleash my wrath at a distance. Hee! And that's still after slight editting of what I really mean, the situation was really closer to me warning Mandy with a low, trembling growl of sorts. =.=|||

What's worse is that you can't leave your eyes off this little kittens at any point in time, a little bit less cautious and she's there clinging onto my tail, giving me quite a fright. At feeding time, she quickly finished her share and lusting after mine, she started to pull all irritating tricks she knew on me, playing with my tail and stuff. In the end, I couldn't even eat properly, having to turn my head and snap every 2 seconds, what an irritating runt!

Luckily she was brought home by her Dad after a few days. Phew! I can finally go back to my peaceful life now, bye, runt!


Julia says: The little kitten followed me everywhere, and when I sat down, she immediately leapt onto my lap. Poor Bobo could only stare wistfully from far away. Once when I couldn't bear her look any longer, I locked Mandy outside for a while, and focused my attention on Bobo. Unexpectedly, she started whining her woes at me, imagine that!


来听听 Bobo 对 Mandy 发出的欢迎声罢!
Let's hear the welcome sound from Bobo to Mandy!

IF: Opinion



  Bobo 好多天沒在她的便盆出恭,小便也少,一直担心她是否便秘了,千万千万別中了三聚氰胺的毒手,惊呀!

  其实我也不太能肯定她有否选择在其他风水地方便。自从我发现她身上多了些小伤口后,她已不敢到处乱跑(也许终于晓得外面的世界好危险),我也就放任她在屋子周围走动,所以也有可能她在院子里就地觧決了,可是却不像往常一样有跡可寻,伤脑筋!

  昨天拔了些尖尾草给她吃(平时她自己也会找些草来吃,特別爱吃苍茅叶),还幇她了换了沙。這傻猫总会无缘无故厌倦某样东西,比如她的小床小枕头,她的日光蓆,也许突然讨厌她的便盆也说不定!今早发现便盆里有她的排泄物,兴奋不已!我第一次铲大便铲得如此开心、感动、滿心欢喜!

Bobo didn't poop in her litter box for quite some days, I'm worried for her, is she constipated? Please please no melamine involved in!

Actually I'm not quite sure if she has pooped at any other places. Since I found some minor injuries on her body, I noticed that she won't go far but stay within the house compound (maybe she finally knew the danger of the outside world), so she's now allowed to roam free, she may probably decided to contribute some nutrition to the yard as what she often did recently, only I failed to trace it like before!

I got her some pointed head grasses yesterday, changed her cat litter too. I'm thinking that she may just get bored of her litter box just like what she felt about her bed and her sun-bathe mat. This morning I'm so excited to see her excreta in the tray, I never feel this happy when scooping her feces!

I wonder if the pet food in market is safe to eat, are they all passed the melamine test? What's your opinion?

IF: Pretend



Cats like to let go their game, pretending that they didn't see their target is trying to escape! Evil cats, giving vain hope is the cruelest thing you've done!

希望越大失望越大,给了希望再一手抺殺掉是世上最殘忍的事了,而吾猫族们堪称个中翘楚也!君不见猫咪抓到猎物时除了玩弄一番,还不时会故意躲起来,假意让那些可怜虫逃生去,在人家以为庆幸逃过一刼时再一把抓回来(当然有时也会玩过头真的让猎物跑掉了),此乃猫咪骨子里最最最可恶的遗传劣根子了!

Bobo 开讲!



  最近发现一招很好用的招数,治得大人嗒嗒掂!我发现只要做错事惹得大人大怒时紧紧抱住她,把手放在她胸口上,任她打骂也不躲不闪,再用无辜的眼神望着她,她自然就心软打不下手了!事关有一次我不小心大便在地上,大人气得不给饭吃,我就是用這一招搞掂她的,嘿嘿!

“呿!就差那么一点点!大人啊!我必須努力加餐饭,让身体更高更壮些才行哪!”

If I could be a bit taller... Mmm... I think I just need to eat more... Hear it, mom?

晚安!Goodnight!







  嘿嘿!我把我的小床,小枕头小抱枕打入冷宮好久了!我发现键盤更好用,除了高度剛好,还具备按摩效果呢!只是它常常在我睡在某些字键上时发出怪声,此乃美中不足之处呀!

  嘻嘻!其实大人才是我最常用的床啦!

As you all can see, keyboard is quite good to be used as a pillow! Besides the perfect height, it also provided a massage function when we sleep, that help us to grow healthier and smarter! It would be perfect if it won't produce weird sound when certain keys are pressed! How about my little bed and pillow? I got bored of them long long time ago!

Actually, I use mom as my bed most of the time, she's my all time favorite!

委屈的眼泪!Tears of grievance!



“喵喵~~饿了!”
“好啦好啦!我出去喝杯水先!”

两分钟后...

“喵呜呜呜呜呜~~虐待呀~~”
“ Bobo 妳好样的,才迟那么一下下,妳就跟我泪涟涟,好委屈咩!”

"Mew~~ Feed me!"
"Wait! Let me have a glass of water first!"

After two minutes...

"Meooooow~~"
"Oh no Bobo, just a bit delay for your dinner, you dare to burst your tears out!"

* Picture taken after she finished her dinner. After her face cleaned, she's back to normal, not tears of sickness, phew~~

IF: Memories



This is a scene of me and our dog, 'Kobit' from long long time ago! Every morning, he'll voluntarily accompany me to the bus stop a few hundred metres from home. When we reach there safely, I'll say bye bye and ask him to go home. Only then will he head back home. He is such a sweet dog. The memories of my time with him is still vivid to this day! Thank you, Abit!

  跟大家介绍 'Kobit',他在我们家时我还是剛出社会的新鲜人,当然也是无车一族,他很贴心的每天一大早陪我到几百公尺外的公车站去等车。

  “Kobit,好了,回家去。” 听到我这么说时,他就会自动转身回家,非常善觧人意的一只狗狗!这段有他陪伴的日子,虽已相隔多时但依旧记忆犹新,谢谢你,Abit!

Merdeka!



Today is our Merdeka day, the 51st national day! Too bad there's an idiot proclaims that we're only the sojourner in this beautiful country that we love! Look at this 9 year-old boy, does anyone dare to accuse that he's not loving his country?

Selamat Hari Merdeka and Merdeka from the narrow-nationalism!

A letter to Bobo



Dearest Bobo,

I know that you love to play outside; I know that you don't like to be locked up in the house; I know that the outside world is exciting and filled with temptation; I know all that and I'm sorry but I have no choice but to keep you in the house; it's your safety I'm concerned with!

We live in an unpredictable world with busy traffic, wild dogs, harmful reptiles and poisoned food! I've lost many of your seniors due to these reasons! You're always at my side, watching me cry badly when something happened to our fellow bloggers' pet -- that's the moment I remembered all my beloved in heaven, and then I will give you a big hug whether you like it or not, thank you so much for your company.

You should know by now how much I love you and how anxious I am when thinking of the probability of losing you, and I'm not going to repeat my mistakes with your seniors! Please be a good girl and make me less worried, for goodness sake at least you could help in reducing my grey hair!

Love,
An anxious slave of yours




亲爱的 Bobo,

  我知道妳很喜欢到外面去玩,我知道妳很讨厌整天被关在家里面,我知道妳很响往外面多姿多采的世界,我全都知道,但是还是要请妳体谅,这么做全是为了妳的安全着想啊!外面车多人多野狗多,蛇虫鼠蚁也多,还有喜欢下毒害猫的黑心人,我曾经因此失去好多心爱的猫咪,直到现在仍然怀念和他们在一起的点点滴滴。当妳看到我因为某个博客的宠物的坏消息而哭得淒淒惨惨,仿如感同身受,那就是我想起他们的时候,而且不管妳愿不愿意,在这之后我都会给妳一个大大的拥抱,谢谢妳的陪伴!

  好了,现在妳该知道我有多爱妳,有多担心妳的安危!我也不想重復过往对妳的前辈们所犯下的錯误,所以可否请妳行行好,乖乖不要闹別扭,至少不要再增添我白头发的数量了!

爱妳的大人 书

去探险啰!The Exploration!





  我最新的消遣是到隔壁的荒地去探险,而且无论大人如何威脅利诱我也不捨得回家!大人还常恐吓我会被蛇给吞进肚子里去,其实是她自己在怕啦,所以现在老是把我关在屋子里不给出去!

  自由!自由!我要自由啦!

  (不过大人,把我关在家里未必就可以高枕无忧,像昨晚我就从家里挖出一只蜈蚣来玩,一样把她给吓个半死!嘻嘻!)

  My favorite pastime recently is to go on a little adventure at neighbour's wasteland, it's my new recreation ground! Mom so worried that I might be swallowed by snakes hided in the bushes (her imagination go wild again), that's why I'm now locked in the house most of the time!

  Feedom! Freedom! I want freedom!

* If mom think that lock me up would make her worry less, ahem... let us see, how about getting a centipede to play with? Heehee... I found one last night!

抓耗子!

昨天看见一只老鼠在院子跑来跑去转圏圏,完全不怕人!当时 Bobo 也在,但她就斯斯文文的坐着,甚至老鼠跑到她面前去跟她对看,她还是一派斯文淡定,紋风不动!我才在想這是一只不会抓耗子的猫,那知今天一早她就抓了只小老鼠回来,而且还喀进肚子里去!

Bobo,算我錯怪妳了,可以请妳以后不要再把耗子扛到屋子里来吗?惊惊呀!

一年了! One Year Anniversary !



好快!当初大人为了要跟朋友和家人分享俺一些好玩好笑的点点滴滴,所以才开了這个部落格,一转眼一年就过去了!這期间还转了几次型,本来只是纯文字,有时加上相片,沒有料到后来认识了一群热情可爱兼具有无限创意的 blogger friends(从 blogging 得到的一大收获),从而演变成现在以插图为主,並尽量以双语呈现,方便這些囯內外的部落朋友阅读。但是也不能忽略一开始成立這个部落格的初衷,不管插图还是文字或图片,还是一样围绕着俺转啦!而俺也从一开始跟前跟后的小可怜,变成现在大人口中這个我行我素、目中无人、有时还会闹別扭耍性子的大顽皮蛋!

谢谢所有来拜访和留言的朋友,有了你们 blogging 变得更有趣,更好玩!

I was only a little kitty when this blog opened. Time passed pretty fast, it's been a year now and I've grown up becoming a big girl with different characteristics unique to myself. At first this blog is mainly to record my life and adventures, to share it with friends and family.

Unexpectedly, through this blog, mom and I met a lot of sweet, passionate and very talented blogger friends, this being the most tremendous gift we've gotten (and are still getting) from blogging! Thanks to all our blogger friends, you all make our blogging life more fun, more enjoyable!

日光浴 Sunbathing



这是塊多用途的布,平时我最爱躺在上面做日光浴,闲时想要磨磨爪也用它,被骂或发脾气时拿来蹂躏发泄的对象也是它!

This is my multi-purpose cloth, It's my sunbathe mat, my scratch cloth, even to vent my anger on it when I'm scolded or simply not in good mood!

IF: Foggy



"Bobo, where are you?"

Yes! This is what Bobo would do when she's not willing to go home, she would go hiding and no matter how you call her, she wouldn't even utter a single mew.

* My original idea is to do the girl in blueish grey tone (above), then I try to add some color and pattern to the girl to see how it would turn out (right). Now I really can't decide which one is better or a more logical scene, any opinion about it?

凤凰再现? Phoenix?



  前几天大人在 MSN 跟还在紐西兰过着背包族生涯的“为吃猫”聊天,她劈头第一句话就是,“我见到凤凰!”。大人直接的回应是,“幻觉”!

  “为吃猫”说当时她正以时速100公里在大道上奔驰,那“凤凰”就立在路中央,在她相当接近时才在她眼前沖天飞起!那只神奇的鸟虽然有着孔雀的炫蓝色头和身体,却有着白色大翼和四条白色而且(她特別强调)非常非常非常长的尾巴!可惜车速太快,她根本来不及停车拍照!大家(包括当地人)都堅信她见到的是孔雀,因为紐西兰跟本沒有這种长尾鸟!但她非常肯定那不是,不死心的她用了整晚在网上搜寻這只奇妙的鸟,却一无所获!

  大人跟据她的草图和说明画了這幅图,还真有点像凤凰哩!有沒有人见过类似的鸟呢?

  Over MSN, mom was talking to her niece Joyce who is still experiencing her backpacker life in New Zealand. Her first word to mom was "I saw a Phoenix!". Mom's immediate response is "Illusion"!

  Joyce said that the bird was standing in the middle of the road while she was driving at 100km/hr, and flew away immediately, thus not leaving her enough time to park her car aside to snap a picture.

  This amazing creature was described to have shining blue head and the body of peacock with white wings and four very very long white tail feathers! Nobody believed her, even the local people there. They insisted that she just saw a peacock since that type of long-tailed bird doesn't exist in their country! She searched the web for the entire night to see if this amazing bird exists, but failed to find one!

  Mom did this illustration based on her sketch and description. Anyone seen birds similar to this before?




Mom was given this wonderful award from our all-time favorite illustrator, poet and philosopher, Linda of Sketchedout! Thank you so much for this, Linda. Now we have to bring this shining thing down from the shelf gingerly in order to pass it on.

The rules of accepting are as follows:-
1) Put the logo on your blog.
2) Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4) Add links to those blogs on yours.
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.

We have to scroll down our favorite list to mark down the list. Oh boy! That's indeed a long list. We try not to repeat Linda's choice, so here is our list:

Emily, art of the masses
Enigma, The Enigma
Erin, Rapture Pet Sitting Service
Faruffa, the queen of pot, Faruffando
mangosteenskin
Tammie Lee, Spirithelpers
Valerie Walsh, ValGal Art

The Tree



This last minute illustration is my entry for Alicia Padrón's wonderful book "The Wish Trees" giveaway! The theme is 'the importance of a tree'!

Bobo 吐了!Bobo Vomited!


  今天晚上 Bobo 剛吃完饭不久,就缠着我喵呜喵呜叫!这在平時相当罕见,通常她吃饱后是不太理人的!我被她缠得受不了,心想也许是饭吃不夠,去她饭碗一看,饭还有剩呀,奇怪!而 Bobo 还继续跟在我身边喵喵叫,我仔细一看,舖在饭碗底下的报纸上完完整整的一条饭黏在一起,完全沒有消化!哎呀!原來是要跟我说她呕吐了(而且还知道要吐在报纸上让我容易清理,真乖)!

  Bobo 跟前跟后的看我把呕吐物收拾乾淨后,才开始担心是否又做错事了,呆在房门外探头探脑的不敢进来!后来看我不但沒有骂她,还抱她来东摸西摸的怕她那里不舒服,就放心的自由走动,也不叫了!不过安静不了多久,她又开始发挥她的缠功,这次真的是讨吃了!帮她换了乾淨的水和食物,看她食慾还不错,也放心了!

Soon after Bobo finished her dinner, she started to mew continuously at me! It's quite strange to me as she normally wouldn't behave this way, expecially after meal! Later on I found out that she had vomited on the newspaper under her bowl, a solid roll, not digested at all! It was only then that I knew that she was trying to tell me this!

Bobo accompanied me to do the clean up. After everything was clean, she started worrying that I might punish her for this, and didn't even dare step into my room! When she realized that I was worried about her health, patting her here and there, asking if she felt well, she went back to normal, walking around and didn't mew anymore, but only for a short moment! No doubt she is asking for food this time.
I finally felt relieved when I replaced clean water and food for her, and noticed that she still has her good appetite!

IF: Sour



No kidding! I started my first illustrator job in a publishing company and this lady happened to be the department's coordinator! If we're late for work, spent extra minutes for lunch, even if we answer a telephone call, she will deduct our salary for every minute she could find!

I did this cartoon quite sometime ago, merely for fun! There's one day May Y.C. and I talked about our good old days, she suggested that maybe I could come out an illustration of this most impressionable lady of ours! When I saw this week IF theme, she just popped out herself, so I had no choice but to dig her out and post it again!
