Schnoodle, Poolky Wanted

I'm surprised that cross breed dogs are not popular in Singapore. I mean, pure breeds are so common, after all a chihuahua is a chihuahua, and Schnauzer A doesn't really differ much from Schnauzer B in terms of its looks, if we're talking about the same class (not comparing Minature with Giant that is). Really, there's just so much you can do in terms of grooming to make your dog look different. But cross breeds, now that's different. It's what they call designer puppy, and in this time where I would think everyone wants to have the latest something (gadget, handbag etc), I'm surprised the trend hasn't caught on. Why settle for a schnauzer when you can get a schnoodle or a silky terrier when you can get a poolky? Besides, cross breeds are so much more intelligent. It's like how my school teacher used to say, the more diverse the genes of your parents are, the smarter you will be. Same thing applies.

Sure, they seem to have ridiculous-sounding names, but they are internationally recognised!

I was quite disappointed when Eric from Pet Movers told me it's not likely they're going to cross breed because of the lack of demand. I guess there're only this many people in Singapore, and even less people who'd be good dog owners, so in a way, I agree with him that it just isn't a wise decision to mate for the Singapore market. Which means, in my attempt to find my toy/miniature Schnoodle, which is more common than the toy/miniature Poolky, I'd probably have to either 1. Import from overseas, or 2. Place an ad and hope that some owners in Singapore will decide to do an accidental mating.

So this is my first step to placing a personal ad. Anyone with cross-bred puppies, you are most welcome to leave a comment. :)

Sigh...Lubby.

Facing Reality

With the end of the deadline, the winds have ceased blowing, the leaves settled back to ground. I seem to fall into a static pace, waiting for time to pass, waiting for something to happen.

There are a lot of things I don't want or like to think about, primarily to do with stepping out of the academic institution and into the working world. I want to take the time off to do what I really want to do, because for a long time, I have been waiting for this day. The day u truly finish your 16 years of education and enjoy what the outside world has to offer, before coming back to work the rest of your life away.

Because once it starts, you really can't stop.

It's somehow easy for the same people who have comforted me through those days where I toiled day and night working at my final year project till I was completely drained of mental and physical strength, to forget that I really deserve a break after all this. I need the time to myself, to see the world, and get away from all that, rather than be reminded of what I have to do for myself to get ready for the working world.

I'm only woman, not machine.

I want someone to share my enthusiasm and my excitement of travelling and seeing the world, not remind me of the monotonous, but nonetheless important, stuff I have to do, because really, that can wait.

FADING AWAY: My Photo Exhibition

I've been totally whipped by the exhibition. Thankfully it's only 3 days because I certainly can't imagine myself gallery sitting for a week. I'd be so embarrassed to trouble my dear friend to accompany me too. Well, today is the last day, hopefully more enthusiasts will turn up. And then it's all out for the report for the next few days! God, this is so scary!

Anyway, for those of you who might want to know how to get to Sculpture Square, here are more detailed directions for you:

1. Take MRT to Bugis station.
2. Look for Breadtalk or Mos Burger at Parco Bugis Junction. Exit the building.
3. You will be facing Liang Seah Street.
4. Turn right and walk towards library@Central.
5. At the first traffic light junction, cross the road and turn right. The entire street is Middle Road.
6. Walk all the way down (probably 150m or so), Sculpture Square is on your left while you'll see Fortune Centre facing it on your right. Sculpture Square has a chapel that has the image of a Chinese man.

I Love...

Lubby. Isn't she absolutely adorable?
I'm totally in love...
Oh man, I want a silky-terrier-poodle mix puppy from the same parentage!
