Goodbye Little One...

Figo, our darling 2 year old doxie died from a snake bite yesterday. Mom called from M'sia just to let me know that he is nor longer with us. They rushed him to the vet but it was too late. He died in my Dad's arms. Seems like only yesterday that Figo came to our home and our lives. Our sunshine on a cloudy day. Always full of life, bringing so much joy to our family. We shall miss you very much!

Valentine's Day Double Take


A funny thing happened on Valentine's Day. Adrian & I usually exchange cards. This year, we (unknowingly) ended up buying the same card for each other..! We laughed our heads off at the coincidence.

Our double take - Lab pups V-Day cards

I'll have to think of something more creative next year. Probably not going to give him a card *sigh*...

An "XL" Tuesday

All things come in three. For many New Yorkers and New Jerseyians, this couldn't have been more true. After all, today is:

• Superbowl Parade Tuesday for the victorious NY GIANTS

Source: Fox News.com

• Super Tuesday - elections from coast to coast. Voters choose who will represent the Republican Party and Democratic Party in the forthcoming Presidential election. A race within parties (primaries) but a rather interesting one. I hope it'll be Clinton (D) vs. McCain (R). No offense to Obama. I think he is also a good candidate but the Democratic race is too close to call. Polls close 9 p.m. tonight. Just heard that Mrs. Clinton did 37 interviews today to reach out to voters. It's a nerve-wrecking "wait and see" now for all camps.
  

• Fat Tuesday or rather, Mardi Gras - the last hurrah before Lent (yes, Ash Wednesday is tomorrow)
  

So, which one is more important? Well, it depends on what you fancy. This morning, the plasma TV at work was turned on for us to watch the Giants being glorified outside Lower Manhattan. Some of the guys from Web Comm rushed out in their Superbowl XLII Champions t-shirts at about 11 a.m. We could see the ticker tapes outside the window and the roar of the crowds from down below. Yet, some of us chose to avoid the crowds. I supposed I was very lucky to have the best spot - right next to the big screen. Hee...hee! I thought it was very nice of the bosses to let the boys go outside & cheer for their heroes. They looked so happy during lunch time :)
