Gone Were The Stitches.

As schduled, we brought Xiao Bi back to the vet yesterday to take off the stitches, just to find out that the stitches were already gone. -.-

The clinic assistant said that she had probably made herself a vet and chewed them off. -.-

If you ask me why I didn’t notice. Well that’s because I’ve never got myself stitched before (touch wood!) and I totally had no idea how it should look like.

It was obvious that she was terrified going back to the vet. I guess it wasn’t a good experience for her. And her tail has since been down after she came back. I read on the internet that it could be ‘cold tail’ (injuring her tail muscle) or it could just be that she isn’t really sure about the whole idea of going to the vet… yet. Insecure, in other words. It should go back to normal in a week or two. Let’s see. Otherwise, she might have to go baco to the vet… again. >.<

Finally, A Little While.

Work is crazy. Life is hectic. I finally asked to reduce my workload and I’m glad that it was a good meeting. :) I still need to hang on until next weekend for a major event, and then I should have less tasks to work on. I like the nature of the job, in a way, but I also love my life and my own business with darl. Something to work harder on.

Despite the hot weather, the garden has been awesome – and since obviously I have nothing to show on my craft, I’m going to talk about my garden again. :P


I’ve spread some wheat berries and grown some wheat grass about 3-4 days ago. This thing is amazingly easy to grow!


Sweet basil. Bought this at Cold Storage again about a week ago. Transplanted to a bigger pot and it’s growing like nobody’s business. Cut off a few leaves and made myself a cup of basil tea this evening. Awesome. :)


The new bamboo shooting. I find this fella growing a little slower compared to the previous one. Perhaps it’s because of the hot weather.


And the lavender is finally blooming! It’s so slow, and so little, but oh-well, I was believing that it’s not going to bloom anyway. :)

**********

Xiao Bi went for her spaying operation last Friday. It was kinda sad to see her during the first day, when she was so sleepy, so tired, and her eyes were like sinking into the sockets. She recovered quite well though, and has been running around like her usual self since 2-3 days ago.


Her tummy area had to be shaved for the operation. I’m constantly checking her stitches, just in case this monkey jump too much or bite on it. Most likely we’ll have to bring her back to the vet to take away the stitches this Saturday.

Turning Two and Spayed.

Xiao Bi’s birthday is just around the corner, and she is turning 2 soon. Since I’ve decided not to breed, I’ve been thinking about spaying her for quite a while. This whole surgery-thing is really making me very uncomfy – I mean, who wants to be cut for no immediate or obvious reason?

To tell the truth, I have all these fear-thing in me that I’m really afraid of loosing her. I know it’s not like a major surgery but anything can happen nowadays. Infections, virus, bacteria, human error, etc… all the funny funny things that we never expect to happen, are happening. Perhaps it’s just me not having enough confidence in others. I just don’t feel safe having to put her life into someone’s hands. >.<

But most likely I’ll be sending her to the vet next Friday, since darl will be having a day off. And I’m starting to pray now – actually I started to pray since the day I’ve decided not to breed, which was like, a year ago?

I’m really a nonsense. @.@

Lemon-y Tangy.

Some time last week I saw one of my customers cum virtual friends on MSN, MiiN, with status related to Lemon Tart. Caught my attention and I messaged her for more info. Co-incidently her recipe was from my favourite baking site, Joy of Baking! :)

I started hunting for ingredients and finally had the chance to make some yesterday evening. Made some mistakes with the shell and ended up having too much filling, and had to resolve making more dough for the shell. It’s supposed to be done with one big tart pan but I resolved using my muffin pan for this. :P

The tart really tasted tangy mainly because of the cream cheese, which, I really like. But my parents prefer something not so tangy. Probably should reduce the amount of cream cheese in it next time. Oh and it tasted superb after putting in the fridge for an hour! :)

News from the Garden.

Life is still busy. I got a little down and depressed today after some hectic work for the past few days, and decided to take a break. I’m very sure that I’ve missed something very important in life. Evil-y I sometimes enjoy that hectic part of life. Yeah, sometimes. :)

Anyway, here are some news from the garden.


The bamboo baby (the first one from right) shot up about a month ago and it’s now almost as tall as the original ones!


And another bamboo baby is ready to see the world too! See that small green thing in the middle? :) Apparently I took the wrong shot. This is NOT the bamboo baby. It’s some unknown plant. >.< But, but, another real bamboo baby is really shooting. :D


Mum passed some waste from the kitchen to grandma’s maid about a week ago, and 2 days after burying, some unknown species of plant/vege came out, again! @.@ You probably can’t see them clearly in the photo but they are there. Although mum swore that she took out all the seeds but mum, what are these? >.<


The pumpkin is now growing like nobody’s business. Only one of the pumpkin plants is growing so big. The rest must have been suffering from lack of nutrients because of it. Mum will be giving away one of them to her friend. The rest, I’ll probably need to take them away – killing them in other words. I’m really not good when it comes to this. I’m a weirdo, I know.


This is the official vege bed. All five of the okras are growing very well. Three of the unknown veges (most likely are Pak Choy and Choy Sum) are also doing good. The maid included two papaya trees there. Ya I know my garden is messy. LOL!


We realised that one of the plants that looks like pumpkin isn’t pumpkin after all. Dad said most likely it’s cucumber. So one evening I decided to move it to another side of the garden but with the heavy rain after that, it was so soaked and wet and looks like it’s almost dying. But then again, check out that piece of healthy leaf. It’s just so green that you know it’s not dying yet. This morning I noticed a few other leaves grew out too. I’m glad that it’s such a strong plant. :)


The lavender, on the other hand, still refuse to bloom after so many weeks. It hasn’t really been growing since the day I brought it back. Not sure why. We’ll see.

Both me and darl are starting to see our direction in life and business after the weekend at Pipit’s Wonderful Market. We have talked several times and are all set to work on it, just waiting for the right time for our own. :)
