Today is the day my little Momo turns one year old!! I can’t believe how fast my little baby has grown. I still remember the very first day when I saw him in the pet shop, his cute little face just melted both Tian and my hearts away. We just knew we had to get him and I’m so glad that we did. Having Momo in our lives has brought us so much joy, although the first few months were kind of difficult, when it comes to house breaking.
Nevertheless, we just love him more and more each day. Momo is a very emotionally and physically attached to me and Tian. Probably because he knows we love him dearly and also we do pamper and spoil him sometimes.
Anyway, I bought some party hats and a toy for him as his birthday present. I managed to put on the hat on him, but he’s quite irritated by it and always push the hat down. Also, my camera run out of battery after one shot and I haven’t got any spare batteries at home. How sad is that? Anyway, I’ll just put the the one and only shot of him in his party hat (it’s not really clear though as he won’t stay still).
Awww, isn’t he adorable??

A new style is up!! I named it Fruitopia as it’s featuring different kind of fruits such as orange, kiwi, lime, banana, and more. This time I decided not to use pink as all my other previous layout styles are pink in colour. Therefore, I choose to use citrus colours instead.
Also, in this style, it is the first time I used rounded edges in the graphics. Hope you all like it! I’m going to make a button to match this layout now. Oh yeah, before I forgot, I changed the online counter too. But I’m still wondering if it’s working or not. Oh well. Hope you all have a nice weekend!!

The post I made about Strange Fish washed up at Phuket after the Tsunami was apparently not true but a hoax. The following is quoted from Dennis:

First of all, a tsunami would only sweep the fish closest to the shore and not these deep sea variety. Second, it seemed like a typical Internet ‘hoax’ for lack of a better term. I nearly e mailed Barbara over at Snopes.com about it but figured (again rightly) that something would turn up regarding it. It took all of about 24 hours:

Origins: It seems like any unusual or remarkable photographs connected with oceanic phenomena are being attributed to the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, and this collection of pictures is more of the same.
Although they are genuine images of some rather strange deep-sea creatures, these photographs have nothing to do with the Indian Ocean tsunami. They date from mid-2003 and were taken as part of the NORFANZ voyage, a joint Australian-New Zealand research expedition conducted in May-June 2003 to explore deep sea habitats and biodiversity in the Tasman Sea. These photographs can be viewed on Australia’s National Oceans Office web site.
Really, John. You should be way more skeptical of this stuff…

I guess it’s pretty gullible and naive of me to believe whatever that’s being forwarded to me in the e-mails. Many of us I’m sure fall into these kind of pranks and isn’t it scary that it makes us realised how we can be easily deceived.
Trust is so hard to build in the society nowadays but nevertheless, so easibly betrayed.
