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.

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
