Adopting Charlotte

These few days i had been browsing the net to find a suitable pet dog for the family. No luck so today we decided to drive to the Fairford hospital to look for an ideal pet. We found a black Shi Tzu very cute so we decided to adopt her. We paid $210 for her and will only be able to collect her tomorrow. She was trembling when the other dogs were barking so we kinda feel sorry for her. when we opened the cage, she allowed us to stroke her. From the look of it, she must be a puppy. We have decided to call her Charlotte, chinese name is 家乐。 hopefully she will bring a lot of laughter to our family. I actually wanted to name one of my daughter that name but in cantonese poon kar loke might not sound so nice. So with a little dog, she will be named the name which I Liked a lot.

This morning I went to kids' school to help out as a volunteer. Today is campsie festival which is equivalent to the racial harmony Day in Singapore. The children dresssed up in their traditional costumes and parent volunteers from various countries set up stall to cook. Yes they do cooking in school and sell food to everyone visiting their school. children even walked out of the main street in their fineries to attract the Campsie residents. the class will be in charge of games and the whole proceeds will go into buying things for the kids education. A variety of food from all over the world. I helped out selling samosa, spring roll, chicken wings, fried rice, fried noodles. some of the food were cooked and donated by parents. Some of them were cooked on the spot in the canteen kitchen.

we had a lot of fun and I met a new friend. She is a malaysian and husband is singaporean. They are now PR. She is working night shift as a nurse as day time she had to take care of her child.

She had been here 2 yrs and enjoyed the lifestyle here very much. Only complaint is missing the good food in Singapore. Told her there is a new Da4 jia1 lai2 malaysia restaurant jsut opened a week ago at Beamish street. We had tried the food, very nice and quite like what we had back home in singapore.

Anyway I am those jian4 gu2 tou2 who likes to busy myself silly. Will look forward to going out and meeting people from all ove rthe world.
