boo says "There are no UFOs. There are only tourists."

A minute ago the Phoenix probe landed on Mars. Earthlings once again crash Mars' party. Congratulations to us! We are now officially an UFO on Mars. To all Martians: "Sorry for the intrusion. We're here to check out the local scene, try the food & pick up some souvenirs for the guys back home."

boo is in need of a life!

Streamyx's been uncooperative all day. So I threw myself into house chores & laptop housekeeping. Came across food images library & decided I deserved a little pampering. Put the kettle on, made a pot of Earl Grey. The simple act of breaking out some ginger biscuits made me delirious with excitement. Well you would too if for the past 6 months you've had nothing but relentless work for company!

boo says "When mama in bad mood, stay out of kitchen"

Big violent sounds from the kitchen. Peeped at doorway. Saw Momma hammering cloves of garlic with the flat of the chopping knife with more than the usual... vigour. I hazzarded a query, "Ahem, you ok?"

She replied without looking up, "No more badminton (to watch on tv)"

I backed out real slowly keeping her well in my sights...

If that wasn't enough she later added: "I should give Rexy (Mainaky) a bag of garlic when he is sitting in the sidelines. When he gets stressed out he can bang some garlic for me."

Me smart. Me no comment.

boo lost nerve

Felt a gentle tremor at about 10.30pm? I did. Was lap-topping on the sofa. TV running in the b/g. Felt a little dizzy. Noticed the sofa was swaying from side to side. Lasted app. 4 seconds. Bounced up, woke & grabbed Mom. Trotted to ground floor, passing exiting neighbours. Mom and I sat in the car, ready to scoot out of carpark at first sign of more earth movements. Or worse, falling debris. Half an hour of sitting out in the car. Friend sms-ed me to confirm a 5.9 quake hit Northwest of Sumatra. Imagine, only took a 5.9er to 'move' KL.

Resident cats

Staying on the topic of cats... Another neighbour's cat - a black beauty, elegant and aloof. I think I have only seen it once or twice ever so briefly outside its apartment. Most times it perches on the ledge of its balcony watching the world beneath. Or perhaps looking out for prey!

There is another little grey tabby who carries itself like a PR man. He works the floor! Not a trace of discomfort amongst strangers. He made a bee line for Mom twice. Considering Mom is seldom outdoors, that is is high hit rate! The first bee line he made was interrupted by me. He was successful the second time when he managed to corner Mom and made himself acquainted right away. Mom told me he even did a little dance for her benefit!

New grey & white friend

As I walking to the lift just now, I came across this neighbour's cat that I have been seeing for some weeks now. Pretty grey and white, mid length haired beauty. Has a very distinctive walk where its legs are never bent. So it gives the impression of a ballerina. During all this time, it has kept its distance though I would gently call out to it (still can't tell if it's a he or she). But it would hardly acknowledge and be on its way like it is just too busy to stop. A cat with on a busy schedule.

Well I guess it managed to clear its schedule last night because it made a bee line for me. Came right up for a few hearty rubs to boot. Looked up so sweetly as if to ask "So what's up with you lately?" I wanted to say, "Not much really. Just waiting for you to finally come around..."

boo waiting for dogfight

All day been hearing air activity overhead. Not sure if they're choppers or jets. Certainly not commercial crafts. Was stuck beneath laptop so did not get up to look out of window. Fly-by activity started late this morning. Pretty sure one or two more in the afternoon. What gives?

boo can't speak. boo rolling on the floor laughing...

Too good! Too good!
