It's so cold!

Tucson and San Francisco are relatively near on the map but their weather conditions are soooooo diferent!

It's still so cold here some people are still dorning winter outfits and wearing gloves! I was afraid of overdressing AN for the weather (I really shld hv trusted the Weather Channe morel!!!), so all she had on were a short sleeves tee and hooded cotton jacket/pants set. Good thing Mr Liow insisted on bringing her pair of boots. And good thing Weather Channel has convinced me enough to bring mostly long sleeved clothes for her, even though they are not thick ones. We can at least layer her. Me leh, 3 quart pants and 3 quart sleeved tops (i almost brought only tanktops and tubes). Hee.

San Francisco has really amazingly steep roads that one has to see to understand and believe steepness like that aren't only found in roller coaster structures!!! Boy am I glad none of Tucson's driving test routes were anywhere as steep. Some roads looks like they were inclined at more at 45 deg! They must be, I'm sure *eyes wide in pure amazement* While on the way to hotel, there had been roads which I thought were walls of a building at first glance. hee. Still can't get over these roads.

There are still loads of interesting sights to explore here. OMGoodness, everything here's so interesting! If you only hv time for 1 place to visit in USA, I'm sure you won't regret choosing SF.

So much pics on only day 1. Will upload them soon :)

Off to San Francisco

We'll be away from tomorrow till Wednesday (Thursday Singapore Time) so in case anyone decides to call us at home, there'll be no answer.

It's already over 100 deg F here in Tucson but not the hottest yet. Guess what? It's still nowhere near 70 deg F in San Francisco! *so envious* That's winter temperatures in Tucson lor!

So ya, I'll be back with pictures next week (that is, if AN allows me time to do so

Baileys' Entry: Then and now

It's tiring loving a human puppy

I love AN, then and now.

In the past, I had to be the one to tell her I love her (this was in Dec 07 when human puppy was 8mths old)


I still love her ;p


What's even better is, she loves lizard watching as much as I do!

You think she loves Maen more? Wrong! Maen's just too slow for her each time, unlike me (see? I can zoom by them!)

But do you know exactly why we both love her?






I standby her when she's caged up
And we love her even when she goes missing

Coz accidents do happen, to our benefit

Mummy's little babies thought hard:

Mummy help!

AN came running to me as I was vacuuming the carpet just now begging "Mummy help!" while tugging at the bottom of her romper. She seemed desperate to get it unbuttoned.

I wondered what she had up her sleeves (or down her romper in this case) and reminded her not to take her pampers off (you will never be able to anticipate what a toddler at 2 years old will do).

She nodded her head, told me "ok" and then started blabbering about "bear" being "hungry" and "mem mem".

Oh, I see. Her "bear" was "hungry" and that explained the urgency (plus her getting impatient after struggling for a long time without success to get her romper to flip up). As soon as I released her bottom, she jumped back onto the sofa with her bear under the blanket and they started nursing.

That was relatively adorable

^__________^



Edited: I think she meant "mem mem stuck" instead of "mem mem dropped".
