Pets Picnic Party

It was the pets picnic party yesterday and of course I had to tag along!
While the picnic started only at 4pm, I was there since noon to lend a paw for the setup. 
Making ourselves useful by lazing on the stage.
As Mummy was busy running around and helping out for the event, I was pretty much left to entertain myself.
Thankfully there were many nice korkors and jiejies to keep me company.
Besides, when it got super boring, I had brownie, my poopbag holder to play with me.
It was a pity that Mummy is part of the organizing team. Because of that, I didn't have a picnic mat to chill on, yummy food to beg for or decent photos to post. -_-
Well, at least I got a nice grass patch to laze on and some dogs to check out.
Plus, the lovely people of Superdog Kitchen gave us a bowl of yummy coconut water with some watermelon.
Refreshing for a warm picnic!
*Slurps~*
In addition, I did have Jager and Snowy (tied to a pole) with me!
Despite that, we were happy campers!
Even though it did rain (before the event), the weather was lovely when the picnic started and there were many friendly dogs for us to greet and play with. Hehe, time to convince Mummy to bring me and Pecan out for a picnic soon!

Jacks in a basket

Running out of ideas for birthday/get-well-soon/congratulatory presents?
Why not get a Jack-in-a-basket then?
Not only is it packed with tons of cuteness and love, it is guaranteed to bring a smile on the face of your loved one. Instantly.

Choose between a

PEE-KEE-PIE HAMPER
Lightweight and compact, it comes with a treat-powered tail that wags 24/7 and on command. 
Simply say "PECAN" (in the most excited voice you can squeeze out of your throat) and you will send that little stub wagging for as long as you stare at her, with a smile of course.
Great for kids, families and even the elderly.

WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM OTHER DOGS
Or a..

SAM-MO-MO HAMPER
This is an absolute "value for your money" purchase (all 7.8kg of it comes at a fixed price).
Adorable and shameless, he will beg endlessly for tummy rubs by laying on his back, anywhere and anytime. He will even do his repertoire of up to 10 tricks with just a treat in your hand without a single command required. Simply show it to him and sit back and enjoy the show. 

WARNING: NOT FOR THOSE WITH A SENSITIVE NOSE. (HE FARTS, ALOT)
Can't decide? 
We totally understand.
That's why we offer the...

RASCAL BUNDLE
Get the best of both world when you get the bundle set instead.
Be entertained by their little antics (and occasional fights where the fatter one will typically row over and surrender) all day long. Immerse in their barking symphony each time your neighbor walks by or when the postman rings the bell and admire their little food dance when dinner is served.

WARNING: YOU MIGHT OD ON CUTENESS. (You've been warned)
Money back guarantee.

Sam at work

I'm more than just a handsome face.
In fact, I can even be a hand, nose and forehead model too!
(especially when there is food invovled!)

Can't help that I'm a natural.

ROARRRRR

Since it's crunch time at work (it happens once every two months), Mummy's suffering from a mental block for things for me to blog about. She was scooping around the house looking for some inspiration when she came across her favorite lion mane wig
*Horrified look* Nooooo..... 

But since I've already posed with it, there's nothing novel about me wearing in.
Hee, so no surprises who had to take the fall to entertain Mummy...

Yaps,
introducing Pee-Kee the Lion!
RAwrrrr
Lucky for Mummy, Pee-Kee is one happy lion!
All smiles and pleased with her new hairdo.
Then of course, stupid Mummy just had to do a comparison shot.
Yap.
My life sucks.
Sammo the grumpy lion.
To be honest, I think Sammo the grumpy lion is wayyy more convincing than Pee-kee. 
Check this out man!
I was quite surprised that I looked so...'lion' here.
Must be those slit eyes.
LOL
Anyway, Mummy convinced me that if I put on a smile I would get some treats. 
So I squeezed out one just for the treats her.
Hm, I still prefer my grumpy look.
Oh well.
Let's hope Mummy's next inspiration isn't so crappy.

Sam 'n' the city 2014!

Me and Mummy went on a special date last saturday! 
(Yes, we left Pecan ah ma and Daddy behind at home to rot to death. Ho Ho Ho )
For our special day out, Mummy decided to bring me to the city!
Well, The promontory @ Marina Bay to be exact.
And yes, I finally got to enjoy the satisfaction of marking my territory at Marina Bay.
Wahahahaha
The truth was... Mummy brought me to the 8 Days Pets 'n' the City 2014 event.
Since Pecan ah ma isn't very dog friendly yet, Mummy decided to leave her behind and got Daddy to accompany her (Before you start pitying Daddy, he actually likes being home rather than stuck at a dog event).
The event was a little blah~
I mean the booths were disappointing and there was nothing for sale that I wanted. 
Mummy did get a free Old Chang Kee curry puff, which she gobbled up herself without offering me any.
So horrible right?
Anyway, here's a lousy "I was here" shot. 
Geesh, Mummy really needs to work on her photography skills.
Tsk tsk tsk
Nonetheless, I got to chill out in front of the iconic Marina Bay Sands.

and along Marina Bay~
Well, despite the lack of fun activities at the event, I did figure out some ways to entertain myself.

I made friends with a gorgeous Goldie and learnt some tips of begging from her!
I had fun snapping away. 
Thanks Auntie Lynne for the polaroid. 
How can so cute?
Hehehe. 
And lastly, I got fussed over by three lovely ladies.
WAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
Life is good siah.
Although I came home with ZERO treats or purchases, I did have a ton of fun hanging out in the city with some pretty babes (not you Mummy). 
Plus, nothing beats some awesome one-on-one time with my favorite person!!!

Sam's weight loss Diary - Day 1

My annual checkup with Dr Vanessa brought shitty news to my parents. 
In a span of just less 1.5 years, I've grown from 5.8kg to.. *Drum rolls* 7.3kg!
OMG
That's like 20% of my body weight!!!!

BUT BUT BUT... before everyone panics, hush.
Dr Vanessa added that my sexy waistline is still prominent. Hence, I AM STILL OF ACCEPTABLE WEIGHT!
It's just that, maybe it's for the better of everyone that I try my best not to gain any more weight.

Of course, meando Daddy took the opportunity to call me Fatty.
Boooo~
As for Mummy, she decided it's time for me to go on a diet.
Less treats, less food, more exercise.
(I'm only agreeable to point number 3, I veto the other two.)

To get started, I decided to join Mummy on her Fitness Blender programs. 
Unfortunately, stupid Mummy couldn't concentrate and kept laughing. 
Tsk tsk tsk.
I was so focused lor.

Oh well, I shall venture on my own then.
I've put on my shoes and I'm ready to go.
Let's do it!
Day 1
Weight: 7.3kg
Waistline: 14.2"
The widest part of my body: 17.2"

Pinku-chan the Octopus

Auntie JY bought us a new toy from Ju-be a few weeks ago!
We decided to name it Pinku-chan!
And yap, she's a hand-knitted Octopus, made of toxic-free wool.
We likey~ 
"Oh.. you mean Pinku is not my dinner?"
Dang~
When I realized Pinku-chan was no calamari, I've to admit that I was a little disappointed.
But thankfully Pinku-chan is really sporting and fun to play with.
One of our favorite games is balancing her on our foreheads!!
Pinku-chan also enjoys riding on me!
Pecan ah ma is too wriggly for her. 
Plus, my fat sturdy body is also great for Pinku-chan to rest on!
We had a ball chasing her around the house. 
It's a pity that she is a little fragile and Mummy has to keep it away at times to prevent us for pulling a leg or two out.
Thanks Auntie JY for our new toy pet!!

Hiking with dogs @ Hort Park!

We're just a little over the Green Corridor. I mean, how not to when you visit it 3 times in less than one month. 
Hence, Mummy decided to explore something different.
So, we went to...
the Hort Park!
We invited a special friend to come along today. 
While waiting for him, we stood around and stalked the koi fish.
Introducing our playmate for the day - Keyser! 
Hee, while it's not the first time he is on my blog, it is his virgin feature in Singapore!
Yaps, Keyser is my best bro from NYC! We've been best buddies (he even came for a stay over) when we were in the Big Apple. He came back six months after I did and this is the second time we caught up with each other!
Mummy was a little concerned about how ah ma would react around Keyser. 
But to everyone's surprise, the two of them didn't give a hoot about each other and that worked out great!
Within minutes (they did scream at each other for a while), they were cool and started walking together.
WELL DONE!!
Anyway, we were planning to take a stroll along the Southern Ridges Trail
However, it turned out that Keyser was a little terrified of the steel bars that make the floor of the bridge. Hence, Daddy (who had diligently studied the map earlier) suggested we take the path below the bridge.
So off we went.
What we did not realize was...
half the land trail was supposedly closed off and  out of bounds for hikers.
Because of that, a good portion of the path is unkempt.
Thus, we had to hike through fallen trees and cobwebs (Daddy being in front, got the bulk of it. HAHAHA) on an off-beat path to get to the top of bridge.
We ended up having to ask the construction workers at the site near the path for directions.
But, Boy was it fun!! (Mummy was panting like crazy by the end) 
Of course We loved it!!!
Unfortunately for Keyser, there was only one way back. 
So, whether he liked it anot, he had to suck it up and take the bridge back.
But boy did he do great!
We stopped for quick water break.
It took a good hour before we got back to solid land and we knew Keyser was really happy about that. 
Too bad he had to leave as his parents had something on. 
Nonetheless, we managed to squeeze in a group photo!
(Hehe, both the mummies were so proud of their kidos of the fact that they took a photo together lor.)
And of course, I was the best behaved.
Ho ho ho .
After Keyser took off, we decided to have some fun and explore the gardening hub.
And Yap, of course it's photo time!

We found some adorable ladybugs and performed a simple balancing act.
Pecan ah ma was super funny!! She flop flat on it as she kept slipping off.
Tsk tsk tsk. 
Heng, I've long legs.
HAHAHAH.
We did a cheesy pose of looking ahead~
Mummy had wanted us to look solemn and deep in thought.
We were like "You crazy woman, it's so hot." So, she had no other choice but to make do with it. 
Another balancing act. 
This time, on a fallen trunk. 
Struggling to obey the warning sign.
Argh.. a dip in the water would be so awesome.
Mummy found a spiral staircases and went down it.
We were curious what she was doing.
"Come back Mummy!"
Seeing that we were completely tired out and that the weather was getting hotter, our parents decided to call it a day and brought us home to zzzz.
It was a pity that we could not cover the Henderson Wave bridge this time round. But I guess that gives us a perfect reason to head back again!
We can't wait to be back!!

Mummy's note: "The hike was awesome! I adore bashing through the forest with my dogs and this was the first time we did it without joining the dog hash (hence, we saved $30!). It was a bit of a pity that it was such a short hike. I would have gone on if I could! Plus, I loved that there was no other dogs when we were there. Therefore we didn't have to calm Pecan down (she over-reacts when she sees another dog). So we had a nice relaxing stroll at the end. It kinda made me wonder if the trail was not pet-friendly. Haha, but since there wasn't any signs to say otherwise, who cares! We're definitely coming back again. That is if I can wake up at 7am on a weekend. We'll see~

The wonders of photoshop

The power of a click of a mouse.
And also, an indirect way of Auntie Lynne telling Mummy that I needa go on a diet.

Boooooo~
Well, at least she changed my grumpy face into a slight smile.

Our Yoghurt beards..

Mummy had some leftover yoghurt and she decided to give us some.
It was the best thing EVER!!
We licked and licked and licked and licked...
so much so that we actually ended up with...
YOGHURT BEARDS!
After wayy too soon, we had licked the cup sparkingly clean.
We really couldn't be bothered with what Mummy was laughing non-stop at. (Crazy woman)
We just wanted more yoghurt!
We did what we do best: put on our begging puppy eyes. 
We even added some lip-smacking actions to up our begging powers.
After way too long, (and our crazy mummy still laughing) I came to realise that there was nothing left.
Booooooooo~
Pecan ah ma naively continued trying (she tried really hard too) and me, well, just my usual pissed off face.
"Why you buy so little?!"
Booooo~
WE WANT MORE YOGHURT!!!

From my MIL with love!

Mummy brought home two small packages.
And we can't help but wonder who they are for! 
Plus, they smell heavenly!!! (We could not stop sniffing them too)
And then Mummy said a sentence that got both of us up and doing our wriggly dance!
THEY ARE FOR US!!!
Oh oh..and even better.. they are home baked pork-carrot-brocoli 
cookies (she calls them Snowpoo Porkies) by Auntie Charmaine!
Wheeeee... MIL, YOU ARE DA BEST!
We each 'chope' the packet we wanted. 
(Dang, my singlish is getting better man)
It smells even better when it's opened!
Stupid Mummy only gave us half each (NOT EVEN ONE FULL PIECE! WHAT BS!) and kept the rest.
So stingy can~
When I showed her my sulky face, she conveniently blames it on my waistline. 
Boooooo~
Oh well, at least I know that the rest of my goodies are kept safely in the fridge. Shall pop out while Mummy and Pecan ah ma are fast asleep later and finish the rest ALL BY MYSELF.
He he he...

PS: Auntie Lynne and Auntie JY, if you bake us something, we will also think you are awesome too.
