Trachemys scripta elegans

Guess what does the title above means.. if u guessed its a scientific name of a type of turtle called a red eared slider, also known as green turtle locally, then u are absolutly right !! The reason i'm telling this is that today i will show u one my household pets which is of course a turtle..  my red eared sliders are David and Zechariah and u might be thinking.. why do u give names to a turtle. Well in my opinion, all animals and maybe insects have feelings and emotions, and i feel that they also have character.. that's only my opinion. now back to the topic, the reason i gave my turtle the name is that compared to my brother's turtle is that he is more braver and he loves to explore. He is also quite gentle and when i feed him he'll flap his front legs, waiting for me to feed him..:) My bro named his, Zechariah caz he think it sounds nice.. ?? no offence marcus :)

Turtles are mostly grass eaters but david and zechariah' s species can eat small live fish.. when i feed them they would chase it round and round until they would golble it up. but if i feed them fish their feaces..yuk..will be ten times smellier.euuuwww. i usually feed them turtle pellats but they also can eat greens like kang kong( spinach) and sawi. one time a over ripe mango fell into their aquarium and i didnt notice it until when i went to clean them. thats when i show a piece of thing in the water & i took it out.. there was a large crater with tiny bite marks and the worst thing was that the mango was rotten and had worms crawling in it..gross grosss.. thank god dave & zec survived, they even ate dried leaves!! If tyson ate just a bit of that rotten mango he will live for another 1 week..:(

Well i think that's enough for one post, hope i didn bore u..  The end ( maybe i should rear a bullfrog)

The Christmas Spirit

Yesterday i woke up i thought what did i just did last night. I looked at the phone, it was 11am. then i remembered i went for my first and probably my last carolling. I came back at 3 am and of course i was damn tired, but i enjoyed myself during the singing of " silent night" ,"deck the hells", and many other wonderful christmas songs. The caroling was organised by my church royal rangers group. I and a group of carollers went by a van with " exceptionally" good shock absorbers to preselected homes to deliver the first wave of the X mas spirit. It was an uplifting experience because i never thought seriously about christmas. Christmas to me is about fOOD & pREsANTS and its a bit shameful caz i was tought that christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. I realised that when singing " Away In a Manger" that Christmas is really, reallyy about peace on earth and good will to men.

I gave my very best caroling ( although its my only one) ever to the 9 homes we covered that cool , christmasy night and when i returned home and crawled on to the bed, I was damn statisfied :)

Although i said i was satisfied there was one thing that thing that really annoyed me during the caroling. there are a few boys who would not stop singing at the back of the van and my ear drums almost burst on the way to each house. But overall i thoughrolly enjoyed myself and the food that the masters of each house provided was excellant xD...

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY GOD BLESS U WITH A HAPPY, PEACEFUL, AND PROSPOROUS NEW YEAR to

Attack of the chickens

When i came back from my grandma place, my mom ask one of my aunt's whether she could give mom a mother chicken along with her baby chicks.. At first i thought she was joking but thankgoodness she meant what she said. My aunt brought back a beautiful wild mother chicken along with 3 adorable chicks. the chicks reminded me of my family's previous attempt at chick raising which ended in (the following is graphic) the death of the chick by a cat, one of the chicks was mising its head and there was some blood in the garden..

Here they r looking for insects

I didnt know chicks or chickens eat grass in their diet.

Now, armed with experience, my mom and brother marcus is taking great care of them in our back garden..

Chicks are just soo cute they would hide under their mother's feather to keep warm at night and when they need air they would pop out their heads.. The mother hen rarely sleeps during the night to guard her chicks, this shows hens are caring and loving mothers.

" no idea"

I just came back from my grandparents place and i was a bit dissapointed cuz my grandfather's dinner party almost made my ears bleed !! The karaoke songs were chinese songs which was ok but what really ticked me off was the loudspeaker was set at maximum volume.. The food was not bad except that one dish was RM 150 ! Yah u heard me, rm150.. and it was disgusting. I think my auntie no name selected this restoran cuz although the food was expensive ( and yuck), they provide free Karaoke. My grandparent would prefer a restoran that offered simple, delicious food rather than Karaoke !

AHHH.. Ghost !!

yumm

Sigh... But before the dinner my dad took us to visit Gua Tempurung & Lata Kinjang waterfall. The cave was the best and there wasn't any bat droppings, euuu.. the cave was extremly humid and to my surprise we were the only malaysians there.. Its a pity we locals dont know what we have and yet envy other nations.. Well thats all i have to say and did i mention, my mom is rearing kampung chicken. I ll post it later, till then cheerio.

Road Trip..

I just got back from visiting my grandparents in Ayer Tawar, Perak. It was the most exciting yet boring trips so far this year... The reason i say its boring is that there's nothing to do there and i felt like throwing myself off a cliff just to entertain myself...:(

But i say its exciting caz i get to enjoy the local cruisine like slimmy mee, xtra large wantan mee and You Zha Guai ( our local one is like eating stone but this is as soft as cotton..:) ) I also went to the beach with my 4 cousins and we had a great time building sand castles..

my grandmom also takes care of 2 dogs, one is a street dog which never took s shower... i took a picture of them using Marcus's new panasonic camcorder..sweet.., at last i can put photos in my blog..:D I didn manage to take the street dog's "lovely" photo.. but instead i took my own dog's.. He is a brown bozer and we call him Tyson Chong.., caz he is a bozer and the chong is my sir name. haha... i sometimes love him as man's bessst friend but i also annoyed by him caz he always digs holes in my garden, bite my shoe and as a male, he is stubborn and greedy over food.

But i still like him...:)

anyway i m going back to celebrate my grandfather's birthday this sat.. and once again im excited about the 10 course dinner..yummy.. The end for now

For The Birds

I think about a week ago that by chance a little baby bird was found by my maid beside a car. this baby bird apparently was learning to fly when it fell into our garden and was left behind by its mother.. The bird was a baby sparrow and it was so small that it fitted snugly inside my fist. It was the most cuttest thing u have ever seen, with its small bean size eye looking at u like a puppy, brown feathers with lines of black from its head to its tail.

i and my younger brother, Marcus decided to keep it overnight and we learnt how to keep it nice and warm.. from my dad. We lined the inside of a small plastic jar with lots of cloth and placed a torchlight over it.. My dad told us to place it on something warm since the light can blind it so we placed it on top of the aqaurium..

Me and my brother never manage to keep a bird alive for more than 8 hours but with my dad's help the bird thankfully lived to fly again.. The next day we debated whether to let the bird go or keep it another night. So we decided to let it go but when we did the bird would always hide under a pandan bush.. Once again dad saves the day, he told us to just let it be because its mother is looking for her lost son( i think its a boy due to certain observations) around our house..

We didn't had to wait to prove that he was right.. Its mom came down and i saw it falping its wing to reach her up in a tree.. I thought it was cruel that the mother would not help it but she was actually encouraging it to learn to fly independantly.. This shows that animals are just as loving and caring as us.. It later was reunited with its mother and they lived happily ever after...

HURRAY!! the year end holiday

Huray Huray finally the year end test is OVeeerrrr... at last i can sit back and have a good R&R. Its only been 2 days and already enjoying myself.Straight away after the exam i went home and told my dad that i scored A1 for my history. hurray and praise the Lord.. the only thing that ruined my day was i almost fail my BM, thank God i didnt.

Anyway i had other things in mind. i had to finish my sains project and i havent even started.. i remember i mentioned it earlier but i think i forgetten it was just a prototaip. after lunch which was excellant by the way, i started going through the process of cuting, pasting, cuting somemore of the aluminium paths. This process took me roughly 8 hours to finish 2 game boards of it about the size of a school desk. Whew.. it makes me tired just thinking about it.I dont mean to brag but when i looked at the finished product and seeing it working like a charm i felt i desserved a pat on the back.

The next day which was raja mahadi school's hari Ko-ko, i went to school as usual, going through the motions of getting up, yawning, taking a shower and putting on my black fake canvas shoes, i dont even know why the school authorities forced us prefects to wear canvas shoes last year when it doesnt even improve the school's discipline. even librarians dont need to.. The school is getting stranger every year but as i walked into the school i felt a bit strange caz i was carrying two gameboards the area of a table desk top at my side. i later went with chow kuan the frog to the lab to get xtra wirings and bulbs. I also went for an archery competition that was organised by navin and kuben, the two robin hoods of our school. they tought us how to shoot but sadly i missed 2 tries out of 3. Even the girls shoot better than me. bo ho

Here's a short note i woulr like to give to dear kuben and navin..
" pls have more archery club meetings. u 2 have it on average only once a month. there are students that are very interested in archery like me.."

Moving on, i, navin, prasanah, malvin, and a few ladies started our buisness which many people played. i was thrilled to see so many crowded around our stall and the others empty. haha.. i, navin, the frog, kuben and megga continued to run the buisness fr 3 to around 5 in the evening. We laughed and had a field day before the sun set and how i wish we could do it again. before i went to bed i saw ace ventura pet detective which stared jim carrey. the show was so funny that i laughed haha until haha my stomach ha ached hahaha...and finally i finished Lord of the rings, The Fellowship Of The Ring, another huray. on to the second book The Two Towers and i hoped i can finish the trilogy by the end of the holiday without the power of the one ring:

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwalf-lords in their hall of stones, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne. In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

now i fell like seeing the movie, sorry tak ada photo but here are a few pictures of the lord of the rings movie. Enjoy, Have a wonderful school holiday and may God bless you who ever is reading this blog.
