...Sun, Sand & Sea...

That's right!~ We went back to Sentosa on Sat after our last visit there about 3 months back. This time round, we were there not becos there was any schnauzer gathering. It was an impromptu get together that I so-called organised. Hee~ Since I'd be kinda pack the next 2-3 weekends, I decided to bring the furkids out before I leave for our Bangkok Trip in August :) *counting down*

It wasn't any fun going to the beach by ourselves and I brought this up with Serene over MSN a couple of times. In the end, she got tempted and decided to join us as well. Hehehe... :) We were trying to persuade Winnie to being Junior & Jester but the Queen couldnt be persuaded... Lazy la!! :P hehehe....

I also messaged by buddies asking if anyone was keen in joining us. As it was a last minute kinda get-together, I wasnt expecting everyone to be able to make it. I'm surprised and happy that Zhi, Sharron, Lian Hoon & family were able to join us at such a last minute notice... :) It's great meeting up with them as I haven seen them since Zhi's Wedding in May :)

We went to fetch Zhi and Sharron around 8am and then we headed down to Harbourfront Center and made a pitstop at Mackers to get breakfast for ourselves... :) Serene was already at Palawan waiting for us and since we've not been there for so long, we made a wrong turn (went in the direction to Tanjong Beach) and had to make a u-turn back to the beach Carpark. We were running slightly late and arrived at Palawan Beach about 9.30am or so. Hehehe... Lian Hoon & family arrived slightly after 10am :)




This part of Palawan has changed so much that I hardly recognise the place... feel like a tourist man~ hehehe... so sway ku ah... the usual part of Palawan that we are usually at is nearer to Tanjong Beach. Not as packed as the central part... but also not as convenient as there wasnt 7-11 or the food court nearby... thought the shower area was just as good... hehehe... :) Anyway, we made our way down to the beach and selected the spot next to the wash area... hehehe.... Made up our mats and sat down to breakfast... :)



Not only did my buddies come, they brought their furries along... :) Hehehe... Presenting, Toto the Silky Terrier who's 4 and Gigi the Jack Russell Terrier who's 6. Gigi is extremely small for a JRT. She's been this size for the longest time. Hahaha.... it was Toby & Tamy's 1st meeting with them as we rarely get the chance to bring our furkids out together to mingle... :)



Took more pics before we headed off to swim... :)



Tamy started digging her pot hole and Toby continued to dig it deeper for her. After that he simply stepped into the hole with his front paws and sat down... He looked kinda silly & weird but in a funny way as his front legs were in the hole but the rest of his body was plonked on the sand... hehehe... shortly after, he made his way down to the water where Tamy was already in... That little girl walked herself to the shoreline and started strolling along with the waves... :)



Elgin looking blur... hehehe... :) He's so compact even though he looks meaty... heheh...



Elgin with auntie Sharron... Hmm... he looks smug to be carried in the arms of bikini clad auntie wor... hahaha... :) Happy happy~



And another one taken with mummy... :)



Here's Toto and another taken with his mummy jus before he got "dragged" to the water by her... hahahah...



While Toto got dragged, Ebi & Emma came back from a short swim and were looking on at Tamy as she scrubs herelf in the sand... :)



Den Toby joined in the scrubbing and Emma had to have a closer look at wat they were doin... :)



During this time, Toto continued to be dragged by mummy and Toby ran over to check out the commotion :P



Looks like Gigi doesnt have any problems walkin into the water herself... hehehe... seems like she was dragging Edison in with her... :)



My lovely duos swimming side by side... heheh... even in water Tamy still has to stay close to korkor...



kekeke... check out Toto's worried look... looks reali likt Tommy :P



Gigi floating along with the current...



Managed to capture a short video of Toto learning to swim and of Gigi waiting for the waves to come in before she started chasing and chewing it but I have some problems loading it here. Gigi seems to be hafin alot of fun chasing the waves and trying to chew it during the few hours that we were there... hehehe... she tried swimming but she always either ended up loop sided or jus floating in the water waiting to be pulled back to shore... tsk tsk tsk...


And soon it was dunk time for Tamy... hehehe... and den she made her submarine swim back to shore... :)



Furries mingling on the shoreline as they take a break from swimming....



While the rest of us hung around and had our own fun... :)



Den we went into the water with them. Ebi loves swimming to me to rest... kekeke... planted a few kisses many a time as well... hehehe... thanking me as he rests in my arms in the cool water... :) He's such a good hug~ :P



We were all cooling off in the water with only Emma along the shoreline... called her out and looked on as she came swimming over.... :)



It started drizzling as we were enjoyin ourselves... *sigh* time to run back to shore to start packing our stuff and to rinse the furries... :) Zhi & Sharron went off to wash up while the rest of us stayed on to pack and rinse the furries... everyone came back jus as we were almost done. So we made our way over to the food court area to leave our stuff and for the others to watch over the furries as we went to shower and change.

As it was really windy, the furries became dry in no time... :)



See how windy it was!!~ :)



Even Ebi & Emma were dried by the time we came back from our shower... :)



Toto sure looks happy... hee... though he had many worried looks while i brought him to swim earlier on... he would have become the best of frenz with Tommy cos they both have the same worried look on their faces :P



Gigi the mini version of Tommy~ :) I wonder how they'll look side by side...

1 miniature JRT & 1 gigantor! Hahaha.... :P



Pictures of our furries jus before we left Sentosa :) Toto, Gigi, Toby & Tamy...

Hopefully next time, Roro & Brandon, Grace Thea & Fluffy will be able to come and join us at the beach :)



The Schnauzers...



Ebi & Emma joined in our photo-taking session too :)



It's never an easy task getting all the furries to look at us and I tink this was 1 of the best shots I took... hehehe... at least 5 out of the 6 were looking at me... with Gigi tilting her head smemore... hahaha... :)



We made our way to the carpark and said our goodbyes~ :) We headed out to fetch Sara from Harbourfront Centre and it was off to RPP to drop the furries off for showering :) Woohoo~ And then we headed down to have Katong Laksa!!~ YUMMY!! :)

My bowl with the added chilli paste and Sara's pale looking bowl of laksa... hehehe... :P



We also ordered cold barley, otak, fried beancurd and crispy rolls which i forgot to take pics of as I was busy slurping away my bowl of laksa... kekek... :)



After lunch, we headed down to PetMovers & Upetgamart as Zhi needed to get some stuff for Toto... there, we saw Ah Dai :) and there was this English Bull Dog there as well... kekeke... she was big and looked very tough... erm... like a shan zhu leh... n her name is Ah Nui... hahaha... :)



We then headed back to East Coast to have ice-cream at the Ice Cream Chefs located next to RPP... yum yum yum... :) While we were parking the car, I heard a dog screaming and the more I listened, the more familiar the screams got... and I was telling the others that it sounded like Tamy. We walked pass RPP and I took a peak from the outside and saw Tamy on the drying table at the back room and true enough! It was her screams that I heard!! Horrible...

She was screaming at full force and it was so high pitch and loud!! :( So paisay leh... Kekek... den I saw that it was Alex who was bathing her... Oops :X his ears must be ringing by the time he was done with her... I know mine would have been... *sigh* That girl ah... so terrible man~ Worst than Emma... :

Anyway we made our way to the Ice Cream Chefs and I had Creme Brule with Maltesers, Zhi had Chocolate & Strawberry with no toppings and Sharron had Creme Brule with Chocolate with Oreo cookies... :)




The final products... :) It was delicious... After our sweet treat, we went over next door to fetch the furries... :)



While waiting for Alex to bring them out one by one, Tamy was still screaming away in the cage and Toby decided to join her when he saw us standing outside the waiting area... Aiyoz!!~ Toby came out 1st followed by Toto and then Tamy... all smelling wonderfully clean and fresh... :) While making payment, Alex commented that Tamy's scream were loud n high-pitched! *Oops* I was saying she's worst than Emma and he agreed!!! Serene~ Emma has met her match liao... Err... no no no... Emma has lost to Tamy... Yikes!!! So Paisay man!!~

After we left RPP, we sent Toby & Tamy back home before heading down to Zhi's place... :) Our 1st time there... nice cosy place she has... hehehe... and they even have a gym room man~ Woohoo!!~ Lots of exercising being done... :) We left her place about 7pm to send Sharron home before we headed back to Hougang for dinner :) Wah there was a spread man~ We were so filled after dinner and headed down to Ikea to walk it off... kekeke..

My favourite place to go whenever I dunno where else to go... Garry commented that we have been coming to Ikea for 2 consecutive weeks... kekeke... :P Dun worry la~ we'll be too busy the next couple of weeks to make a trip to Ikea anyway... heheh... My plans to get frames from Ikea were put on hold until a later time even though there was a sale for some of the frame sizes that I wanted to get *siGh*

No space at home to leave them lying around and we also dunno when we'll be painting the house. Furthermore, I dunno how many frames I'd need and the concept of my plans for that wall. Time to plan plan plan... hw many frames would I need... Hw do i wanna hang these frames up, structured mess or clustered mess (if it makes any sense) and most imptly, the color scheme of the house... arrrggghhh.... evything on hold till after I come back from BKK... kekeke... :P Who know, I might be able to find a nice big painting there or cheaper & nicer frames... hahaha... :)

By the time I got back home, it was close to midnite... Sat was a super long day for us. We'd been out since 7.30am~ Toby & Tamy had the I-jus-woke-up look on their faces when we walked in... :) A day out in the sun and we turned red like lobsters... :P My fringe looks fried & curlier than normal... *Esther dun u start laffing*



Toby & Tamy kept looking at us as we were packing away some of the barang barangs and I decided to take more pics of them :) Excuse the mess they always never fail to make with their toys... heee~





Then it was bedtime again for all of us... By the time I was ready to hit the sack, the duos were comfortably lying in bed with their daddy. All 3 snoozing away leaving me with tt pathetic space... *peNgz* Took pics of the 3 bums before shifting T&T to make space for myself~ hehehe... :)
