Kenshiro throws her temper a lot!

I am not sure if it's because she gets less treatsnow,

(We are on "less snack" diet.)

but she's been throwing her temper a lot for the past week.

She literally throws her temper,

by throwing her toilet cover entirely to the other side!!

I'm trying very hard to prevent my solid determination of giving her less treats from tumbling down.

Sigh. "Spare the rod and spoil the child. (かわいい子には旅をさせよ。)"

Easy said, but hard to do!!

Let's start diet together...

Kenshiro's weight increase has made a record today. 1605g!! She was 1580g in Dec. but she's supposed to be in her 1400gs.. It's a result of my constant defeats to her "Give me Give me!!" with her shiny eyes. and demanding paws. She knows exactly what to do to get her favorite treat... OK, we are in this together, Kenshiro! I would also like to lose some of my tummy by April for Amanda's wedding. Let's aim 1580g for you first.

Actually her waist line isn't so bad...

Gifts for CNY visits

During CNY, we normally visit relative's home.

This year my husband even needs to visit his boss's house.

We used to just buy a box of sweets or cookies from the commercial brands, but this year we thought of making it more meaningful, since we need to buy them anyway.

This is what we ended up picking.

Candy wrap from the Fairtrade store, Fair Circle (公平点）.Approx. 20 sweets come in a colourful Napolese handwooven cloth.

For the sweets, we could choose either Oxfam Fairtrade Belgium bitter chocolate or Maya naugat or mixed.

$72/per wrap, $158/3 wrapps, good price.

The beautiful red rabbit tag was specially designed by students in Polytechnic University.

They were unique, meaningful, and at a great price. What more can you look for a edible gift?

Her favorite milk vetch

Sun Farm Milk vetch 30g

So far, it has been one of her favorite treats I broght back from Japan.

No additives, just simply sun-dried milk vetch, of the pea family.

This time the pack contains lots of pods.

It must have been harvested at such season.

Nevertheless, it does not affect Kenshiro's eagerness:)

Flowerly bunnies

Happy Chinese New Year!

First day of the CNY @ one of the shopping malls in Central.

Round ball

Kenshiro's normally very sleepy in the afternoon.
When she's really relaxed, this is what will happen;

1. Her eyes will be almost closed.
2. She will tuck in both of her paws.
3. She will sit on her paws, looking like a New Year rice cake.
4. She will be griding her teeth.

She is very round at the moment (Stage 2 at the top, Stage 3 at the bottom), time to weight to see if we've overfed her this winter:)
