storm contained, sunshine boxed, freedom shackled.

It was to be a combination of excitement, playfulness and exhaustion. One the morning of Valentine's Day, i was asked to puppy-sit for a buddy. He had to send his car to be serviced and the wife didnt have time to look after the pooch coz she had a part-time cleaner coming over as well..... talk about busy people....

so the story goes that i was left with the pup.... a rather adorable pug named hamchoy (cantonese for pickled veggies) how he was named after that, will be another story for another day....*grins*

as i was saying, i was left with the pup. and i had a breakfast date with tailo. and the pup was not trained to properly behave in public. *sigh*

so pup and i hopped into tailo's car and off we went to a puppy friendly place to makan. fortunately, the pup is not car-sick. unfortunately, i was wearing a short skirt (not thinking... stupid me) and the pooch just had his nails trimmed. two words. painful scratches.

we met up with jr. at the coffee shop. pup took an instant liking to jr. and rest was history. kidding.

we all trooped back to my apartment where tailo was finishing up some wind-water readings for me while jr. and pup played.

after they left, i was left alone with the animal. we played for hours. i was tired out by the second hour... but i managed to teach him how to play fetch... heehee *shows victory fingers*

by mid-noon..... another puppy appeared..... of the two legged kind. lolz.....

i left both the puppies to play and went for a nap. puppy no. 2 woke me up mid nap for a surprise....


that was the surprise.... truth to be told, i was kinda expecting this.... to be precise, i was expecting flowers and a trinket.... but i never expected something that expensive....

that goes without saying... i'm touched... very...

oh well, after many years of quiet valentines to myself... or rather ignoring its existence... its touching... i forgot wuts it like to receive gifts during this overly commercialized universal day of love... lolz... so it was nice.

while i watched, the puppies played somemore.... until the little one decided its had enough and wanted a pee, a poop and a nap....

so the pooch napped while we cleaned up its droppings..... *sigh*

puppy 2 and i retreated to the bedroom for a nap... playing with a dog for the whole afternoon could be very tiring....

imagine playing with two.....

*nuff said*

ahahahaha........

after all that.... i must say that i had a rather nice v-day..... with friends and animals and gifts and naps... although, i'm still boggled by the whole overly commercialized part... the mass proposals and the mass weddings... *shivers*

but! in keeping with tradition of love and all that goes with it, its a day to celebrate love, to be in love, to love another and to be loved. this applies to everybody, family, friends and other halfs....

so, happy valentines day! or a belated one.... love y'all people!!!
