A Merlion's Jaunt in Beijing - Part 2
It's Sunday, Huang Yen decided to visit the National Centre for the Performing Arts (北京巨蛋) to check out the local performing arts scene |
Passing by the Tiananmen Square, with a quick glance at Chairman Mao's portrait The massive crowd is making him dizzy. |
Can't get enough of the Mala Hotpot (麻辣香锅) at Wangfujing! Mala's literal translation means 'numbingly spicy'. Just be prepared for some bowel cleansing after the meal. |

Enter the Dragon
It's been a while since the last update from the house of Michi. The toys are envious of Pookie's vacation! Anyway despite the stuffed-toy-as-a-gift ban, we've gain some new friends over Christmas and New Year.
Sleepy the Care Bear came over for a slumber party on the last day of 2011. Tarzan the Steadfast (the new reindeer with sturdy legs) joins our ever-expanding family. |
A fire-breathing dragon joins us to usher in the Chinese New Year. Fok Lung (福龙) is proud of his auspicious, albeit slightly out-dated name. Meanwhile, Teddy Boy signed up for a new job with a talent agency. Turns out he was supposed to greet customers at the new Abercrombie & Fitch outlet in Singapore. |
The gang celebrates Chinese New Year together on their mistress's bed. Huat ah! |
Huang Yen the puking Merlion tried to buy some vodka from Kopi (bear from Coffee Bean), who decided selling coffee was never going to be as lucrative as selling alcohol. |
Booze and Teddy Boy has been hooked on the BBC's modern adaptation of Sherlock and has done some reading on the original works of Sir Conan Doyle. They've adopted some steam-punk fashion for the CNY. |

Pookie in Bali - Part 3
And he's off again! Watching the countryside roll by from the air-conditioned comfort of the car.
What a hot hot day! Pookie stays in the shade to avoid an unwanted tan.
On the way to Tanah Lot. Pookie is fascinated by a mossy stone basin and the mini lily pads.
Pookie frolicks among the truckload of coconuts before they're devoured by thirsty tourists.
Finally! First glimpse of Tanah Lot!
Pookie poses for some must-have touristy shots of the scenic beach around Tanah Lot.
On the way back to the car, Pookie notices a familiar yet dubious sign.
The next temple had many little hats on the roof. Pookie wishes he had one of the hats to ward off the sun.
Lunch time! And so Pookie ends his Bali trip... with a yummy local dish - Babi Guling.
