Is it appropriate to call a pet dog a friend? Or should i call it a family member? Okay, that's not so important anyway, i guess. What's important is that recently my mum brought home a stray puppy who had no mother. Usually no animal would end up being in our house because my dad isn't a fan of pets and he feels that none of us is responsible enough to have a pet. The only time we had a pet was when my dad was into fishes because feng sui said that they'll bring us wealth.

So it was shocking when i went home last thursday and my parents told me that my mum has brought a puppy home.

The Puppy
It was found in an SAF area. There, nobody own pets and sometimes stray dogs would be sighted. Somehow, my mum and her colleagues knew that this particular puppy was homeless when it was found by some guys, and no one wanted to keep it. My mum called my grandma and she said she want it. So, my mum brought it home for a few days before passing it to my grandma. But we all knew that grandma would end up giving the dog away because of one of my aunties who lives with her. I'll not badmouth her, so i'll just say that she may somehow injure the puppy.

In the meantime, we were sort of taking care of this puppy. I named it gou-er, my dad named it xiao hei, and my mum named it lottery. It pee-ed and poo-ed all around the living room, bite non-stop, and bark randomly in the middle of the night. But it was super cute and lovable. It was just tiring having to take care of this dog's pees and poos and stuff.

Strangely, gou-er seemingly enjoy biting cloth stuff quite a lot and it does not seem to like toys.

Now, it is no longer with us because we gave it to my friend's friend, who is probably truly capable of keeping it. It was kind of sad to know that we'll never see it again.

Birthday celebrations
Moving away from the puppy,

Going to celebrate my birthday with my family soon, because just on friday, my brother had been dismissed from his NS camp for a few days' break. My family wanted him to be present in the celebration, so we're doing it in advance.

Yesterday, stefanie, matin, avelin, hazel, joey, ziwei, meijun, waimeng and i went for a picnic at pasir ris park and also celebrated waimeng and my birthdays :) Had a rather long walk from Downtown East to a playground-area in pasir ris park. Picnicked and went to play around at the playgrounds. Walked a long distanced back to downtown east and watched some performances at the Cosplay festival. They were amazing. I especially liked a One Piece one (because it's my favourite anime~ biasness has impaired my ability to judge) and a .Hack/GU one (because of the voice acting).

Went to a table to play monopoly deal, and then home after that.
