Last nite, while walking home from the carpark, Gaby wants me to carry him. So I just passed a comment "Aiyo, mummy is sweaty, sticky and smelly and you still want me to carry you?"
Gaby : "Mummy, I love you even if you are sweaty, sticky and smelly becos you are my mother."
I really don't know how to start writing about everything... Have to blame myself for being lazy I guess. If I have write them down diligently almost everyday, then at least I won't be suffering a mental block right now... So... one thing at a time... Let's talk about Mr P...
Yes, yes, yes, Mr P has gone "international"! We have completed our "project" with Bollywood. He has acted along India's Mega Super Star, Akshay Kumar! And the film is directed by India's most experienced director Priyadarshan. Although they are both super BIG names in India, they dun behave snobbish at all. Askay is a very friendly person. Always very smiley... And Priyadarshan, I think he is a very respectable director in India. Throughout the few days of filming, I find him to be an easy-going person. Although he has his expectations he do understand that sometimes the dog may not be able to do certain tasks... but thank goodness, Mr P live up to his name as a "Star Dog" (well, at least he'll be one after the release of this movie... I hope). He completed most of his scenes without much problem. All credit should go to my "Shi Fu". Some of the tasks sounds really simple but without Shi Fu, Mr P probably couldn't do it.

There is a scene that took us quite long to complete. And I have to stand infront of this huge light to lure Mr P towards the right direction. Should have applied some tanning lotion....
Yesterday was our first day filming. Location at ECP... reporting time was 6pm...
We set off from home at abt 5.30pm. I thought that since I will be driving there, half an hour will be more then enough time to get to the location. But who knows, there was a HUGE traffic jam along AYE/ECP. In the end, it took us one hour to arrive at ECP. And by the time we reached ECP, I think I am probably deaf! Mr P couldn't stop barking at ALL the motorist that drove past my car. I was a little worried that one hour of barking will probably tired him out. What if he's too tired to do anything the director wants??
It was really a great experience last nite. Will try to post photos...
Oh, and then on the way home, Mr P barked all the way home too!
Last nite, I was looking after Alexius while Gaby was having his dinner. At one point, I dun really know what Alexius wants. He kept walking from the left side of my bed to the front and then back again. Then I suspected that he is trying to poo. I find it really 'interesting' so i took out my cam and took this down... His actions just reminded me of Poofie. Whenever Poofie wants to poo, he'll walk around the newspaper before finding the "right" spot to poo. Hmm... I wonder if Alexius learnt this from Mr P??
Last few weeks I have to struggle with Alexius so much with feeding him milk that i think i hurt my wrist... my left wrist... that's the arm that supports him when i feed him milk. I should have started training him to drink his milk lying down on the bed like what I did with Gaby last time... see la, now Alexius can only drink his milk this way... But actually, i think i have myself to be blamed. I love the closeness of him lying in my arms during milk feeding time. Now that he doesn't latch on, this is the least consolation i guesss.
Now the feeding is slightly better... only slightly. Found a way to 'distract' him, that is to let him watch the tele during milk feeds. At first it was Barney. There are 2 Barney vcds that he likes. Campfire Barney and Pajama Party... He doesn't like the talking bits, only the singing parts interest him. Then now he has lost interest in dear Barney. All he likes is the "Wheel on the bus" DVDs. And not only during milk feeding time, even during his porridge time, it's "Wheel on the bus" dvd. If other prog is on the tv, he'll say "bus! bus! bus!"
Oh, and he only likes those parts when they are sing "The Wheels on The Bus" tunes. He knows the sequence of the songs... knows when the wheels go round and round, fingers go snap snap snap, hands go clap clap clap, lights go flash flash flash, wipers go swip swip swip, and daddy goes shh shh shh...
These dvds used to be for Gaby during his meal times. They are Gaby's side dishes during meal times until Fireman Sam came into picture... and now Alexius... guess it runs in the Lee family.
