Fortunately, I did not scald myself and I was wearing coffee colored pants. I also brought a change of clothes for after gym. I didn't want to bring them initially, but grabbed them as I was rushing off for work this morning. So now I look like a news caster, formally dressed on top, but wearing shorts on the bottom.<br /><br />I also just sent out a kuku email without consulting my boss and/or team mate and kenna bua.

There was one in hot pink fur and bling bling pink sequins. LOL. Managed to catch the fireworks as well. They were beautiful, but I left my cam in the car, so no pics.

She's a parti-coloured poodle going for SGD 2,000. Nearly bought her on impulse, luckily I left my wallet in the car.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2233/2175624902_ef31242ccc.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br />We also met a mini Oreo in brown color.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2322/2174834433_1977d46230.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br />There was an albino poodle as well. First time in my entire life that I encountered an albino puppy. It kept bullying the little red poodle next to it. I find the albino puppy quite adorable with its pink nose, but it'll be very sad if I buy it and it has a shorter lifespan than normal. As it is, I am very worried about ah bit. He's already 6 years old this year.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2364/2175625222_6825160c76.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br />There were two adorable and frisky Japanese Spitz as well.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2361/2175625328_f3fc55834d.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br />We also met a very funny Chow Chow. When it saw me approaching, it jumped up and balanced its stomach on the play pen, trying to rock himself out of it. Such a sight! Hahaha. Too bad I didn't manage to capture a picture of it doing that.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2136/2175625466_8d918e1d25.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br />We went to Pet U Megamart after and there was this huge doggie.

How can we forget the cake!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TZvj_GB_RK0/R3OEo9Izi3I/AAAAAAAAARs/ybDqczH4nak/s400/IMG_0061.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5148604638155737970" /></center><br /><br />The cake had really cute ornaments on them, so I took a pic.
