Where are the fire hydrants? (Post about dogs. syok sendiri)

Since i have nothing else to ramble about, i'll ramble about my favourite animals - dogs. How can you not love them yo?

i love:
w Their heartbreaking puppy face they pull to con you into getting anything they want
w The way they eat all over the place
w The way they bark and jump all over your designer pants with their muddy paws when you come home from work
w The ticks behind their ears
w The way they sniff around and sniff each other's butts
w When they attack anything that moves
w The way they run and hide from cats, especially when they're puppies
w The way they pee on fire hydrants and drink from toilet bowls (myth)
w Run in circles, chasing their tails
w They keep you up all night whining and barking...ok no wait. i don't love that.
w Their obsessive clingy behaviour

OK. So anyways, i was on MSN with Ju Enn and we were harping about dogs and how indispensable they totally are. Dolphins may be smart, rabbits may be furry, cats may be sexy, & monkeys may be playful; but there's no such thing as a substitute for dogs. Dig it! Swallow it! Ju Enn has a poodle *currently* and i had *sob* a German Shepherd. Nice. Both are on the list of Top 10 Most Intelligent Dogs with poodles at #2, & G.Sheps at #3. And yes, people. Poodles are the 2nd most intelligent dog in the WORLD. Brains & Beauty. Lethal combination. No wonder they're famous killer dogs. They lost the #1 crown to border collies. O.O

So here's newsflash about some doggy info:

i'll start with my all time favourite, Beagles. Beagles are small/medium hounds, used for hunting. They have a razor sharp sense of smell and an easygoing nature. And they're way cute! Compliments aside, they're #9 on the list of Top 10 Least Intelligents Dogs. At least they're not #1. Haha. That spot belongs to Afghan hounds. Hoho. It's not that they're stupid, really. And i'm not just making excuses for my favourite. They have really short attention spans (like me) and therefore are really hard to train. They're very independent and like to do what fancies them so training can really drive you up the wall. But but BUT, they are cute and cuddly. Tell me they're not, i dare you!

Look at that face! ooooooh i just wanna pinch it and eat it.

Hah! Faking angelism. Inside is a little monster just waiting to chew your Manolo Blahniks...and that's totally fine by me <3>

Odie the Beagle from Garfield. Who would have thought Odie was a Beagle. He doesn't look it. And truth be told, Beagles aren't very good with cats. They're supposed to be sworn enemies. But they'll be alright if they grow up together. You just have to introduce them during their wonder years.

Is it me, or do icon Beagles look nothing like real Beagles? Apparently Snoopy is a Beagle too. Haha weirded. i picked this picture coz he looks superbly cute in aviator gear. *Whooosh*

Alright. Let's move on to daschunds. If you don't like dogs, you have to love daschunds. The famous hotdogs. Haha. All you gotta do is chop of their heads and their tails and they look exactly like furry wieners. They should make the crew of 1901 dress up in daschund suits...er minus the fur, else the health inspectors shut down the establishment. i chose to include them coz my Grandma has a daschund. An unbelievably and incredibly stupid one that is. It used to belong to my cousin Chantelle. She told me he's been blur since the first day they got him from the pet shop. And get this, his name is *drum roll* *more drum roll* *drum roll frenzy* *drum roll beginning to piss you off* *drum roll stops...finally* Revelation!!! Haha. And all those going to Heaven say "HOLLA". OK drama queening stops like, now <---big alt="" border="0" fat="" fire="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275987583451481634" img="" liar="" lie="" micro="" mini="" on="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfoXSJM6OkL2Vb_qjv0wlPlNc_uFYRJcdfRWK_7UihcLAH8KUwo9bmg3AgON88hw8QchJsG1Btjrt0ahbwNs9D0AwyVJotXepZvgaYOFZdyhvXyBMifpCdMWYN7s4rQdxMJdxdNGGMcsEv/s400/daschund.bmp" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 375px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 345px;">

Awww. Ooh, yum. Mustard and chilli. Don't forget the bun.

Right, and here's a very famous daschund. Slinky the stretch daschund toy from Toy Story

German Shepherd time. Yay! My Max comes to mind when i think of this ganasly huge dog. Haha. i remember getting him from the dog breeders. He got sick and puked in my car on the way to his new home. Poor baby. Hoho. Max is such a weirdo...strangely enough, just like his owners. Haha. It was my sister's suggestion to name him Max. i hated it at first coz it sounded so pfft cliché for a dog. But then i realised the name was perfect for him. He's such a Max! Maximum noise, Maximum action, not to mention Maximum poop. And he's a heavyweight German Shepherd that takes after the German heavyweight champion boxer, Max Schmeling (Schmeling rocks).

He was ok when he was a puppy. But he got incontrollable when he grew up. And he's frigging taller than me *oooh greenly jealous*. i remember one time...blah blah blah...grandmother ranting...blah blab blab...when he was a puppy, we were about to start a party in our house. The first guests were arriving and i had to move Max away in case he decided to attack anyone. So i was carrying him (and boy was he frigging heavy), and walking across the koi pond. He kept turning his head about, trying to blind my eyes with saliva, and i couldn't see where i was going. i almost fell head first into the damn pond. i did this funny foxtrot along the side of the pond trying to gain balance but it's so hard to see with his fur taking over my sight senses.

Hoho look at those satellite ears. By Gawd they're HUGE. Radar *beep beep* Intruder alert! Now you know why they're such good guard dogs.


A really (old) legendary G.Shep is Rin Tin Tin

Lookey what we have next. The Dobermann. Why? Coz it's Chantelle's favourite dog. And they're smart, energetic things. They go far in dog shows.

Sexy isn't it? Check out the buns on that thing. And the muscles are fine!

Here's what they look like when they're puppies. Usually owners pimp them up by docking their tails and cropping their ears, which i personally don't approve of. Cruel cruel. But shit happens, so nyeh. They're born with fairly long tails but it is surgically removed within days of the dog's birth, making it look like a bunny's bob. i'm like WTH? Are we breeding dogs here or rabbits?

Ear cropping refers to trimming off part of the animal's ears and propping them up with posts and tape bandages, which allows the cartilage to develop into an upright position as the puppy grows. Shit! *Oooooouuuuuch*

A famous Dobermann i know is Blitz from the cartoon Road Rovers. Remember that one? Or were you too busy watching Winnie the Pooh Monokurosucks and Hello Katty *ahem* Kitty? =_=

Don't get me wrong. i like other animals too. Just- not as much as canines. Cats are ok (sort of). i like the way they have a late-night get together singing. Reminds me of being in a slinky jazz club. Wait, that didn't come out right. *Howl at the moon*

Joshua's 15th birthday

Yesterday, my brother turned 15! Hahaha talk about late. So we went to a mall and had dinner to celebrate. The place is called Che Go *(O.O)* and it served Korean barbeque. Too bad we didn't get to DIY. Hummph! They should call it Korean barbequED!!!

Here he is. Staring at the menu. See, that's Kim Gary behind.

Here he is, turning the menu.

Mum and Dad. Never Dad and Mum...ladies first.

Birthday Mom

It's the 22nd of September and my mom's happy happy birthday. She's 46! So we ate and ate and ate all day. My dad bought an ice-cream cake, which had no trace of cake, from Haagen Dazs. Read my lips...no wait, you can't. Then imagine reading my lips...HAAGEN DAZS! Haha Mohani. Are you jelling now? The cake came with a free pint (cue: SCREAM) of more ice-cream. We chose chocolate of course, all of us being choc aficionados. Hahaha! What a joke! We couldn't stab the cake with the candle coz the chocolate coating was big time bulletproof. So we had to stand it at the side instead.My mom makes a wish and my dad...err, stares into my sister's camera. Grr...hello, firstborn over HERE!!!
Happy birthday mom! You'll never grow old.

The day everyone wore pink to Uni.

La duh! We're all girls so yes we love pink, thank you very much.

Two Rachels, a Julia and a pink place

According to legend, my pants are also pink.

Hmm really? Looks more like tomato red to me

i guess you could call it pink on the reddest degree.

Pretty Dara, pretty in pink...

Get this, she almost went to MCKL. My previous college!!!

Holy shock(ing pink) !!!

And here we see the Geoffrey in his natural habitat, going about his natural primal habits.

Poor thing was caught- in PINK.

What any comments on your pink fetish 'Datuk' (like this will ever happen) Geoffrey?

Dr Geoff: "It takes a real man to wear pink"

Aku Sebatang Pensel

*wail* *sobs* *cry*
i lost my precious mechanical pencil...boohoohoo
i really loved that pencil coz it was (sort of) unique. Unique-er than others la. It was so cute. Short and fat with flower patterns on its body. It came with free lead too. The lead was the coloured kind. It was pink, eh-heh...
So in remembrance of my baby, i've written an autobiography about the life of my pencil, Spoon...................no, seriously i named it Spoon.

**********************************

Aku Sebatang Pensel

Aku sebatang pensel. Aku dibuat di sebuah kilang alat tulis. Badanku pendek, gemuk dan bercorak bunga-ish...yang bercolourful. Then, aku dibungkus bersama best friendku, pink lead. Aku dihantar ke hyper market Tesco
anddan digantung pada rak, atau...whatever its called.

Suatu hari, aku sangat berbored hanging pada rak, atau whatever its dipanggil, apabila seorang pelanggan (perempuan) jalan by melooking-looking. Dia angkat one by one, beberapa alat tulis dan kelihatan seperti berfikir nak beli ke tidak. Lama sangat dia melihat kami alat tulis semua, apabila dia mula mendekatiku. Hatiku...eh salah...springku mula berdebar-debar Adakah dia akan memilih aku untuk menemaninya di
collegekolej selama-lamanya?

Aku menunggu dengan tidak sabar sewaktu dia tengok aku. Bugger! Woman itu mengambil masa sangat panjang untuk membuat decision membeliku. Apa kekuranganku? Mengapa dia tidak boleh terus mengegrab aku dan berkata "You are...THE ONE!" Then baru aku realised. Hargaku tidak begitu murah. Celaka ini. Akhirnya, dia pilih untuk membeliku. Yes!!! Betapa gembiranya aku.. Hati...maaf, i meant springku menerbang. Ownerku sangat sayangkan aku.

Pada suatu hari, aku digunakan oleh ownerku. Selepas berkhidmat untuknya, dia terlupa pula untuk kembalikan aku ke dalam pensel casenya. Bukan main cemas lagi aku. Dia terus mengemas barang-barangnya untuk leave the bilik kelas. Jiwaku menjerit sekuat-kuat as possible. Malangnya, ownerku tidak mamahami bahasa inanimate objects.

Dia terus keluar bersama rakan-rakannya dan tinggalkan aku begini. Air conditioner ditutup. Lampu-lampu dipadamkan. Semuanya senyap. Seluruh scene ini seperti closing act of a stage drama dan aku seperti the last pelakon taking a bow sebelum curtains tutup. Aku melihat sekeliling. Aku bersendirian. Habis riwayatku. Celaka!

And that was the sad life of my Spoon, my mechanical pencil.

..................oh is it happy hour now?

Poem

for life is just a passing phase.

People come, people go.

Though those that leave may

be very dear to you,

fret not because our God will bring you through;

For us, death is merely a passing phase,

that ends with song and joy;

The one you love is up in heaven,

singing His praise forevermore.

It won't be long till you see her again,

and join in the worship;

But until then be strong, my friend

you are not alone.

He is with you and He will bring you through;

For He says that He never gives us

too much to handle.

"My grace is sufficient for you."

...Take heart in His promises, girl.

U

Love,

Jolyn

Puli, the mop dog

Jules & i were harping on about dogs today at the media hub. i had no idea she liked dogs sooo much, but she's not allowed to have one =( ... We peeked out through the window and saw a black stray dog outside college grounds. It was chilling out on the sand in the rain. What man! In the rain?! Poor thing. When i had to go, Jules sulked and told me to send the dog in instead to keep her company. Haha. Nash substitute.


Speaking of dogs, i came across a really freakatootingationistic breed called a Puli. Honestly! And i thought amoebas were weird creatures O.o ...
They look like mobile mops with a sharp sense of smell. Hey that gives me an idea! Every household should have one for multipurposes. It cleans, it provides company, amusement, and security. Awesome!

Check it out. It cam whore's too *wolfcalls* "Do you think i'm sexy?"

Gakk! What the heck of a pose is this?

To find out more about his royal puliness, check out the American Kennel Club. Eeek adorable la.

Ranting post about the KTM

Today, The Star newspaper reports on our PM, taking a ride on none other than the KTM. All the way from Serdang to KL Sentral, then a switch to the LRT to Masjid Jamek, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said he was less then satisfied.


But i'll bet he's got more words for it than unsatisfactory. i know i would!!!

Hah! You see, you see?! i told you the KTM was crap! i told you but you all never listen, do you???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fine then...you can just talk to the hand!

********************************

Just kidding. i love you all. ohoho

Grandma made pitaya jelly. Like power rangers morphin time

food, my Grandma made pitayaPita jelly today.

i just wonder, how you turn this:

into this--->

ooh ooh i know,

it's morphin' time! Go, go Power Rangers!

The Dollar Decade

Wow...flappers a.k.a. vamps are gorge n glam. The term surfaced in the Jazz Age (20's), categorising young women who rebelled against societal norms. They popularised bobbed hair & short skirts. They smoked, ,drank, drove, wore excessive make up and listen to jAZZ.

The many faces of flappers

Eeek they are GLAMOROUS!!

Love the pose..but what's with the guy fawning all over her? Spoils the whole thing Norma Talmadge (actress)

Oozes sex appeal. Just about dontcha think?

Clara Bow (actress)

Short skirts, flat boobs, bob hair- the prototypical flapper

i'm not to hot on the flat chest though

They could do with a bit of silicone ;)

Nice cartoon. Some day, i'll work my way around this too ^^... A whole range of dances flourished in the 20's like the Charleston, Shimmy, Toddle & lots more. People finally learned how to have fun, yeah!
