The maintenance guy came over this afternoon to fix the aircon controller unit in our hm. We expected him yesterday but he didn't turn up.
I panicked when I heard him knocking on our door. I mustn't let him know we hv 2 dogs in the house! I ran upstairs, asking BM to follow me.
Maen has climbed up stairs only once in her life (she can do things we least expect! Like Mark mentioned, she's one agile girl. Btw B and M, she's the one who can jump up onto our car back home, if she wants to. She was just too used to being carried into the car). That was at Country Inn when I wanted to walk them but was too lazy to walk to the lift and hoped they could walk down the stairs with me.
Baileys failed that 1st attempt. That time Maen ran down the steps easily, Baileys was trapped looking helplessly at me up the steps. I had to run back up with Maen following behind me and take the lift together with Baileys -____-"
I was praying hard that they would run upstairs with me today. I couldn't afford to carry either of them coz AN definately CAN'T climb stairs (although she can crawl up on her own, that's not safe either).
A chinese idiom describes one who's desperate as "Gou Ji Tiao Qiang" (literally translated as a dog in desperation can jump over the wall. Baileys proved the idiom right! Maen effortlessly ran up after me, leaving Baileys behind. I thought I had to go back to carry him up this time so I brought Maen into the room 1st, and put AN onto the floor before I went out for Baileys. I was surprised to turn back and see Baileys run into the room soon after.
My Baileys can climb steps now!! Not 1 flight. It's 3 separate flight of steps with the last being rather long!
So I trapped them in the bedroom while the maintenance guy, Ramone (I don't know if I spell his name right but that's how he pronounced his name, Ramone) did the re-wiring.
Took him almost 3 hrs coz there was a little hiccup with the old aircon system.
I tried sounding him out about the management's stand about their 1 dog policy. Told him I actually have 2 dogs but had no choice but to separate them coz of ST's strict policy abt pets. He said no one really bothers if we have 2 dogs in the house even tho they say we can't.
He comes to do what he has to do and it's not his business to report us to the management, he said. He also pointed out that the management doesn't go around peeking into houses to see how many dogs the tenants have and assured me not to worry about having both of them in our house, as long as we do not disturb neighbours, no one will even know.
Felt better after his assurances and since he was taking longer than expected, I let BM out of the room. Both ran down the stairs and then back up to look for me.
They can now climb steps! hehe.
This being their 2nd night sleeping away from us, I started out worried that they may not agree to the separation this time round. It's been 1.5hrs since we came upstairs and they have not made a single noise in protest. We went out of the room quietly to listen to them. No noise. Tat means both are asleep alry!
Thank God for that! Thank God they can climb steps now, and that they both can sleep apart from us now (I hope. This is only the 2nd night tho).
And for dinner today, I made Tom Yum Stir-fry Eggplant (brinjal)and mushroom egg. I thought both tasted rather good. hee. Mr Liow said the Tom Yum Stir-fry tasted a little wierd. Thought he might miss Tom Yum. I was wrong. hee.
Am starting to enjoy cooking. I'm left with tou foo (CAN YOU BELIEVE A NORMAL SIZED CUBE OF TOU FU COSTS USD$2.50 HERE!! I buy them at NTUC for S$0.70 each wor...super overpriced..), wu-gui dou (sort form of peas in pod), bean sprouts (goodness...beansprouts are also ex here...), chicken & minced pork. I've also got sweetcorns, tomatoes, potato and white onions.
Will probably make ABC soup tomorrow. See how. With AN around, really not easy to prepare food. sigh...But she's getting cuter and more fun by the day. It's easier to love her now than when she was a newborn. hee.
