A lesson learnt.

For months, popo has been losing hair. Her ears got the brunt of it. I thought of all the possible reasons - ear infection, ear mites, detox, lack of nutrition, stress, and hormones. The vet cleared my doubts about her ears, while I increased her organ intake for nutrients. She definitely didn't look stressed. 

Finally I couldn't bear it anymore. I brought her back to her ex-owner. Almost immediately he blamed the shampoo. He said that the shampoo that I was using wasn't suitable for her coat. It made it very oily and was the main cause of her hair loss. I have no idea why he said it was oily cos it felt super nice and soft and fluffy to me. But he's the one with decades of experience with dogs, so...bo bian.

Can you imagine how guilty I felt? =( Not to mention how fucking expensive her shampoo and conditioner was.  Damn heartpain can?! Luckily he gave me huge bottles of shampoo, conditioner and treatment shampoo for free. Really thankful cos I don't think I can fork out another $100. -_-

After just one wash, I could see the difference already, especially at her ears. It seemed like her hair 'opened up'. Now I see what he meant by oily. And I feel even more guilty. I've been using it for months! *horror* But 不知者無罪 right? It's not like I purposely torture her or anything. =|

Oh wells. But I'm really glad because he also said popo looked healthier. And she's at the perfect weight. Maybe a little bit fatter cos she's been pigging out recently. It must be the raw food. It has to be. I definitely feel more confident about this raw feeding thing now. By the way I started her on fish a few days ago. So far so good! =) Although pocket hole not doing very good. Tsk.

Ahhh~ Sorry popo. Mama didn't do it on purpose. =( Let's hope the new series of shampoo and conditioner can save your coat. And you'll be the prettiest papillon ever!

P/s. I'm not blaming the shampoo. It's a good brand. It's just that popo wasn't suitable for it. 

shuffle & chupitos

I'm on a roll! =D

So I met the gals zhu and cher last week to pass them my bombs invitation cards. So nice to them to take mc for me. LOL! And no matter how much time I take, I'll never be late because cher is always the latest. Almost always! =P

Dinner was at Shuffle. It's just your average bistro with live music, but I quite like that place. Although it was dark (sad cos can't take photos) and very very noisy. Definitely not the place to chitchat cos you have to shout across the table lol. 

Food was pretty yummy. I took the spicy prawn pasta. Which came with 5 big and fresh prawnies. Service was nice and prompt. pitstop 24/7 please 反省. Got my favorite long island too. But either it's too potent, or I haven't been drinking for ages. Felt tipsy after half a glass. -.-

Prices are not cheap, but I guess it's reasonable for this location. I think I know where to go for our next date! ;)

We then decided to walk over to Robinson Quay, for some reason I can't remember. But then cher spotted Chupitos, and promptly plopped herself on the high stool. LMAO stunned me for a second. Apparently apart from the usual cocktail flavors, they also serve weird special ones! I spotted pee. Lol I know I keep harping on this pee shot. Really curious to know how it would taste like, but don't have guts to try. =|

Our first round (L to R) - Paddle Pop, Bandung, Cosmopolitan.

I so like this photo! *haolian* Light was from cher's flash mwhahahaha~! She kept raving about the paddle pop and yes I agree! It's damn nice la! Bandung tastes like...bandung lor. With a hint of alcohol. Cosmo was nice, but nothing special.

Second round (L to R) - Lychee Martini, Pandan, Milo Godzilla.

Dunno why this girl go order lychee martini when we already tried that at Shuffle. LOL. The four white blobs are whipped cream, but we managed to not drink it! ^^v I preferred the pandan over the milo as I felt the latter's alcohol taste was overwhelming. But both of them liked it though.

I think it's called a shot because you have to drink it in one shot. But three of us mixed and matched and had little sips instead lol. Maybe next time we'll try them in one shot!

The night out burned a big hole in my already holey pocket, but it was nice. Just like those days. I want more! =)

pitstop 24/7

Last saturday, we started driving around giving out our invitation cards. The final stop was SSD's cousin, who introduced us to this 'hidden' place - @punggol. It's basically just a cluster of restaurants with some pool/billiard centre nearby.

The place was fairly crowded when we reached. We chose pitstop 24/7, mainly for its more affordable prices. They serve a mixture of asian and western dishes. And obviously its bicycle-related.

 

I got the milo godzilla (my first time trying) and SSD had the coconut. Both took pretty long to arrive. But nevermind, cos my godzilla was yummy! Then we waited for our food. And waited. And waited. And waited. For almost an hour I would think. And we complained twice. 

 

Here's my claypot noodles. A major disappointment. Came with those hard noodles, a few pieces of chicken (which I don't take), and those veggies. Gravy was salty. I really should have ordered something safe. Like fish and chips. -_-

 

SSD ordered the thai tomyum soup and rice. A bit of drama with his dish but I guess it wasn't their fault we didn't get what we wanted. =P Anyway, forgot to take photo cos I was starving. His was a little better than mine. At least his had prawns. Well, tiny miniature ones. Didn't exactly taste very nice either.

In conclusion, the name's just right. Just a pitstop, have some drinks, and forget the food please!
