Puppies
Mimi 米米 and Coco 可可. Obviously, they are named by their fur colour.
Both are male dogs. Migrated from Ipoh, Perak to Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. Thanks to my housemate who generously offerred the puppies and picked the best 2 out of 4 male puppies for us.
It is easier to snap Coco than Mimi as Coco is less active. Mimi has a big ass and Coco, a handsome face. Like any other puppies, they eat, sleep, shit and play everyday.
My parents love them very much. They will be their good companion while we the children are all working outstation and unable to acompany them everyday.

Mating flies
 | The fly couple on Alex's car windshield. They were still joined together when the car was on the road. Eventually a long trailer passed by and the strong wind blew them away... |
Last weekend, also by luck I saw a dragonfly couple (brown colour about an inch long) mating on dry grass. One on top, the other at the bottom, and their bottoms were joined. They stopped at a spot for some times, then flew to another spot, stopped a few minutes, again flew to another spot. Their body were still joined even when they flew (as I didn't see them re-attaching to each other after they reach the ground/grass). Only if I have camera that day...
Plant treasure - Mengkudu (noni)
Last Sunday SingJiuJitPow "Sunday Special" posted about Malaysia's 7 not-so-famous tonics. Surprisingly one of the "fruit" is similar to the photos I took on 26-Oct-08 at my Pasir Panjang home.
Now I know the "fruit" is called "mengkudu" or "noni". In chinese, it is called 海巴戟天(HaiBaJiTian). As it has certain benefits to skin and good in solving menstrual problem, I will probably try noni juice when I go back this weekend.
Left: baby noni.
Middle: teen noni.
Right: matured (?) noni.

Fishing - Part 3
25-Oct-08: Alex tried his luck, fishing at the small pond behind my parents' home. No fish.
The "bridge" to go over to the small pond. Alex waiting patiently for the fish to hook on to his bait.
.
27-Oct-08: Mr. Tien showed Alex how to fish by using lizard as bait. See the splendid result!

Fishing - Part 2
Mr. Tien fish a loach from the abandoned small pond at the back of my parents' home. Noticed his face expression: "great achievement" and satisfied.
Our greeny little backyard
Alex loves sweet potato leaves. Each time we had dinner outside, we'll call 'stir fry sweet potato leaves'. Since we've decided not to renovate our backyard to wet kitchen, mum suggests we plant some vegetables. Sweet potato leaves grow fast and can adapt to any type of soil easily, somemore Alex likes to eat, so we give no second thought on what to plant first.

Tomato plant
As we know, tomato is rich in antioxidant. Eat plenty (means A LOT) of tomatoes resulting smooth face. This is real testimony from one of my friends who we worked together as front office receptionist when I was 17. If we can plant our own tomatoes, we can eat plenty of fresh tomatoes without worrying about pestiside and the market price. So, for my face's sake, Alex is planting tomatoes at our backyard even though my father tried planting tomatoes at Pasir Panjang hometown last year and it resulted green tiny mini tomatoes badly attacked by worms!
When we were back at hometown during Raya holiday, Alex consulted dad on building a shelter for the fragile tomato plants which washed to dead by the heavy rain pouring down from the roof edge. They went to the old chicken hut looking for un-used woods. Alex then went to Pasir Panjang town to buy 1 meter long green insect gauze from hardware shop. After we went back to Seremban, Alex spent the night (probably 3 hours?) building the shelter.

 | We can't finish all these. I think this big quantity can serve as a dish for 3 to 4 small families in our neighbourhood. Probably this is still too little to sell to the newly open Chinese restaurant located 5 minutes walking distance from our home. |
