fsa: ??! ok loh... (??! ok loh...) *gives a wtf look to another aunty behind the counter*
moby: 谢谢! (thank you!)


dusty's lunch / dinner

hehe. i feel good providing food for dusty...almost like a mother who cooks for her kids to eat. and yes, dusty ate his lunch!

cheers. =)

dusty

i went crabbing on friday with the guys...and decided i liked it so much that i went again today...and then i decided i liked crabs so much that i decided to add to my increasing repertoire of pets.

meet dusty:



this is dusty's home for the next few days...a home which i had to import sea water for direct from the east coast park (which is why it's only half full). and let's not talk about where i got the sand from...lest i get arrested for stealing building materials from our local contractors.



anyway, dusty looks pretty comfortble in his new (albeit murky) environment...



i think dusty's a mud crab...given that i thought there were only like two species of crabs here (flower and mud)...but after reading this website on the different crabs in singapore, i'm getting really confused...anyone know what kinda crab dusty is?

i really hope that dusty isn't poisonous. not that i was gonna eat him or anything lah (you're kinda beyond that stage already when you give a name to the animals you keep)...

i like my new room scent...it's got a kind of "sea breeze" feel to it...though i think i'll probably have to renew the scent (aka sea water) every few days...and i like my new roommate too...though i hope he lasts for more than a few days...wish us luck!

cheers. =)
