"Sakura" Orchid

Dear Little Bulldog,
We went to your previous home in Pasir Ris couple of weeks back. Err...not going there to buy you toy, but to check out your enemy species.
The enemy species there looks quite good, but no service at all. That was before the arrival of Marble though...
Instead of buying your enemy species, we found a very nice orchid place just outside of your previous home. The auntie was very helpful and showed us a wide variety of orchids.
We bought this very pretty orchid. Looks like cherry blossom. The Japanese must have like this too.

The Return of Little Bulldog

Dear Little Bulldog,
This blog started because of you. So I think it is appropriate that I started to post some of your photos. I wanted to see if I can find you a new sitter while I am traveling. I hope to be able to find you a good one. Doggiesite seems to have a few options.
Recently feel quite tired. Maybe spent too much time in front of TV. Better start to do some exercise. Let me see if I have time to go for a swim in the new Anchorvalle Swimming complex tomorrow.

Ghost Guy

Dear Little Bulldog,
I know you are a brave boy. Nothing can scare you. But let me introduce to you this Ghost Guy aka 小鬼仔 ！
This is the creation of my nephew, and I stole it from him blog. I really like this character, it just made me laugh whenever I see them. I have to say he is a very creative guy, and I am so proud of him !
He is so unlike you. You hardly make a sound, but he has so much to talk.

Cola's enemies revealed!

Dear Little Bulldog,
I am glad you are now getting along well with the two chins. No more scaring them, and made them run up and down. That's a good boy!
Since you have become less hostile with the two chins, I am now safe to show them their real face...
Latte has been very naughty. Always pee pee at the tray, and also on her timothy grass. Marble is a much behaved gal, although she seems fierce the first few nights at our home. But thats because of you scaring her for fun...Marble is so fat that she is clumsy and is not able to flip easily in her sand bathroom. I called her "不能FLIP的MARBLE".

Little Bulldog's Enemies

Dear Little Bulldog,
I know you have been unhappy now that you seemingly have less affection from us because of the two chinchillas. But we want to assure you that we still love you the most, and you are always our favorite!
Latte and Marble have been getting along fine since Marble has been brought in to keep Latte company. They will stick together and it is fun to see them together. No prize from being able to guess correctly which is Latte and which is Marble...

A Stroll in Nanjing Road

Dear Little Bulldog,
I thought I want to share with you my only leisure time that I have during my stay in Shanghai.
I have chosen to stay in Equatorial Hotel from James recommendation. Marriot has been good, but I wanted to stay nearer to a tourist area where I can at least have some leisure time. Equatorial is located near the JingAn(靜安)area where the famous Nanjing Road (南京路)is. I have decided to take an evening off from James, and venture out by myself right after I return from Shijiazhuang.
JingAn has a very upmarket Jiuguang (久光)Shopping Center, where all imported goods are 20-30% more expensive than where I come from. Nothing too interesting. The JingAn Temple is quite nice, but a little too artificial. After taking a short walk, I realize this is not the actual world famous Nanjing East Road. I decided to take a subway train to the Nanjing Walking Street (南京步行街), which is 3 stops away. Nothing much to buy there though, only lots of neon lightings and more expensive shopping centers. One of the most unpleasant experience that I had was the constant harassment by men and women who will just pop up behind you and offering their KTV services. Maybe I look too much like a tourist. Decided that this place is not for me, so I head straight to the train station and went back to my hotel.
The pictures may look pretty, but it is really not a pleasant place to be.

I love Shanghai !!

Dear Little Bulldog,
I have been out of Singapore to China last week, miss you so much...
This trip has brought me to possibly "The Worst Place" I have ever visited in my life.
The destination is Ningjin(寧晉縣). What a deceivingly beautiful name! It is an hour taxi ride from Shijiazhuang(石家莊) which is the capital city of Hebei province(河北省).
When I reached there, the air is so polluted that it smells ammonia everywhere you go. Visibility is no more than 500m. To my horror, the now notorious Sanlu Dairy (三鹿）has a plant in this place. I just wonder if the management of the company feels bad of letting their employees work in such kind of filthy environment.
When I touched down in Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, I took this picture with my Blackberry. For the first time, I have to say "I love Shanghai !!".
Thank God for Your grace in preserving my health and keep me safe during my time in Hebei. The polluted air and dangerous taxi rides will keep me from that place for a long time.
