Toddling @ IBM Family Day

The Annual IBM Family Day was held this morning at the National Zoo in Hulu Kelang, Ampang. This zoo has been around for 48 years and daddy was telling me about the trips he made in his younger days. The place has been through it's share of ups and downs.
It was an early affair with breakfast and lots of activities. This year the organizers decided on Treasure hunt and colouring competition on top of the usual IBM telematch.
We opted out of the games to spend more time enjoying the lovely walk around the zoo. Having experienced the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia and the Singapore Zoo, I really wasn't expecting much.
Not meant to look down at my own country's zoo but honestly they can improve themselves in many ways. Learning some finer points from the above 2 award winning zoo's can easily make us world class.
The fearsome champions were all seen dozing away while the tame fellows roamed freely. Was hoping to catch some of them in ferocious action.
This one wasn't sleeping and was super alert in such calm and still manner. I could learn a thing or 2 to be used at school during lessons.
We made the 11am animal show at the amphitheater and it was a feast for the eyes with some very talented animals showcasing their skills. Hats of to the trainers.
This sea lion can slam dunk! Pretty impressive considering it was done using it's nose.
The family day also had it's share of tensed moments especially when they took a good 30 seconds to call out a 4 digit number with long pauses in between. Didn't win any, maybe next year. Good unwinding fun.

Final Assessment - Junior Kindergarten

Phew! What a year this was. Massively taxing for a 4 year old but I pulled through in my own way and style. The school holidays are here and I've signed up for Krista's holiday program for the next 4 weeks. Daddy's rewarding me big time for this, trip and gifts coming soon.
I know I could have done better nevertheless daddy was happy I've shown extensive improvement. The Rock Princess steps into 5 Year old Kindergarten come January 4th!

World Animal Day @ Desa Park City

Last Sunday, SPCA Selangor held the World Animal Day Celebration at Desa Park City. Dog obedience and agility demos, booths by NGOs and vendors, performances ...
 
... and the highlight being Stop Animal Abuse petition!
The event was a lively one with a good turnout despite the heavy downpour in the afternoon. By early evening it reduced to drizzle but didn't dampen the spirits of dog lovers.
The performances were fantastic especially the dance to a full 3 minute song. Now it's not easy hold the dog's attention while waving the doggy treat to make the dance moves. If it was Sindhu, she would have jumped and finished it within the first 5 seconds!
This lovely looking Goldie and his trainer did a piece to the tune of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. Impressive!
The Frisbee catch was by these little fellows who just couldn't get enough and with the wet surface and rain water filled potholes, made it more enjoyable for them.
With SPCA, there will always be dogs and cats up for adoption. By the time we got there only a few were left which is a good thing for they would have got good homes to live in.
Professional pet groomers were seen strutting their skills and this beauty was seen parading among the crowd. Must have been trained to carry a snob look for she never looked straight at the camera.
This little champion spotted a unique design using pet safe dye. Must be his calling name ... Shish!

I'm pretty clueless on what I'm gonna do for the year end break. Daddy's been busy scouting for activities while I just wanna kick back and relax. Speaking about kicking, Krista's got Taekwan-Do classes ... Contemplating.

My Net Connection ... Unified!

Early this week Grandpa decided that we've had enough of the 256kbps Streamyx internet link and signed up to Telekom's new scorching Unifi package.
The installers came in the morning and spent half the day getting all the connection up. We were the first in our street to subscribe to this service hence all new cables had to be pulled in and junction box connectivity updated.
The package consists of massive amounts of equipments, a new Motorola phone and a month of free viewing of the premium channels over Hypp TV.

The VIP5 package was the cheapest, offering 5Mbps high speed broadband over fiber optics. A regular download via Streamyx at 40kbps hit a massive 600kbps sending the 85kg daddy leaping in joy!

Happy Birthday Sindhu!

 
 I always find a reason to celebrate and what more with my cutie pie Sindhu turning 1 today.
With age doesn't come any responsibility as our shoes will always be her favourite chew toy.
