Quiet day at home

Today is Sunday but the weather is no different to yesterday. It rains then stops, rains then stops. Ma ma looked out the window several times this morning and made a strategic management decision NOT to take me and CC out. Instead she curled up on our Chinese sofa (day bed) and chatted on the phone with Gung Gung and Por Por for over half an hour. I waited impatiently for her and looked towards the window and front door several times, trying to give her a hint. She didn't get it - or at least she was still chatting away on the phone and did not look like she had any intention of taking me out.

Over the phone, I overheard Ma ma saying to Gung Gung that she will not give me my new chocolates until she is able to eat chocolates herself! Ha! How unfair is that? Ma ma, just because you cannot eat chocs (because you are coughing), you should not make me suffer with you! I think that's what Gung Gung said to Ma ma as well, cos she then said something about how she will give me some if I am good. I will be an EXTRA good girl today in order to hit Ma ma's "good girl index" and get a piece of chocolate. But Ma ma has very high expectations, so I will have to try very hard. Ma ma was coughing and blowing her nose very loudly when she spoke with Gung Gung and Por Por, I hope she doesn't pass any virus to them over the phone!

After the phone call with Gung Gung and Por Por, Ma ma got up off the day bed and brushed her teeth & washed her face. I saw her take her hiking gear out from the wardrobe (Ma ma is very boring, she always wears her Giordano shorts and polo tops). She then sprayed her mosquito repellent (Aeroguard - imported from Australia! Ma ma is so Q!) and swiftly put her hair in a pony tail and tucked it outside her cap. Both CC and I became very excited as we watched these familiar moves. But wait - why hasn't Ma ma taken any pooh-pooh plastic bags and our leashes out? She is also not smiling at us - which usually means........she is not taking us out! Ma ma sat me down and explained to me that she cannot take me out today because it's still wet outside and unless I wanted to take another bath, I will not be allowed out till the ground dries and the rain stops for good. Luckily, Ma ma remembered to leave a big reward (Greenie bone!) behind for me. I rushed into my crate at the speed of light - almost knocking CC over.

Ma ma played 'fetch' with me when she came back (CC doesn't know how to play 'fetch' - she only knows how to play 'sit'). So at least I got to play. Ma ma told me that Kai ma has to stay home today and clean her new flat. Kai ma doesn't trust her part-time maid with her new wooden floors so she is gonna clean the floor herself.

Going for a noon nap. Oh yes, and I need to be a good girl today. Chocolate, chocolate!
