There’s something about my in-laws’ garden (or maybe it’s the people who live in the house) that gives off a very protective, safe vibe. This is the second time we’ve found a litter of kittens, much to Kakak and Kaylin’s delight.
The first time, we found two kittens that their mother eventually abandoned when [...]
I live in a gated community and one of the rules we have is no pets. A few days ago I got a letter from one of the residents asking if anyone would support her petition to abolish the no-pets rule. She says she’s got a dog that she never lets out of the house [...]
Have you ever seen a turtle swimming in the ocean? I’ve seen them over a dozen times while scuba diving and almost every single time, I’ve stopped to stare. It doesn’t matter that I’ve seen one before or that my diving buddy is going to abandon me if I stay any longer, there [...]
This was taken using Y’s mobile phone one slightly gloomy Sunday as we had lunch. I would say we found it, except really, it found us. And it stayed for a little while. Isn’t it a beauty?
As quickly and quietly as I could manage on my shaky legs, I walked to the gate and unlatched it. If the dogs come now I’m done for, I thought. The only thing in more trouble than a prisoner is a prisoner caught trying to escape. I swung the gate open quickly, squeezed through and [...]
The dogs came charging around the corner, headed straight for me. I instinctively turned to the nearest wall, hoping with all my heart that they’d been well fed that day. I think I would have screamed if I hadn’t been so busy trying not to panic.
The Rottweiler jumped up onto his hind legs, landed [...]
“But why?” she’d whine at me a thousand times. “Why don’t you like animals?” To which I’d have to patiently explain – yet again – that it’s not that I don’t like animals. I generally have nothing against them, and I do like the really cute ones. It’s just that I could very well live [...]
[Reading my past work usually makes me cringe, especially if they - like this piece - were written while I was still a wee writing student in university. But 'Three Dogs, a Frog and Two Bears' is special to me for several reasons and that is why I have kept it till this day.
One: [...]
This is my cousin, Alvin. We call him Momo. Technically he’s Y’s cousin but you know, same thing. He’s one of the sweetest 12-year-olds ever. I don’t know many 12-year-olds but all two of them I know are absolute angels. Momo loves our dog, Moses. He wanted a photo with Moses and asked me [...]
When I see something big and not-so-common for the first time, there’s always a feeling of, “Oh my God I can’t believe I’m looking at a _____.” Meet my first leopard shark. It’s only a baby but it was still pretty damn cool.
Y and I are back from our four-day trip to Phuket. [...]
