Dim Sum and Puppy

Let me introduce to you the new furry temporary member of the Krishnasamy family. Meet Whiskers. He arrived yesterday afternoon as an uncle of mine was going to Thailand with his family and decided that rather than to let this dog fend for itself, we could take better care of it.

My sister was worried that he might feel cold at night left outside, so it was decided that he should let him into the comfort of the house. After all, the dogs in the arctic region have access to blankets and hot showers.

Please do not be deceived by his cute and innocent demeanour. This son of a bitch, pun intended, was yelling his silly head off at 4am in the morning, because he didn't know who was the newspaper man outside and decided to show his displeasure aa a result of this ignorance by waking everybody up. He succeeded. However, if this keeps up I will have no qualms about leaving him outside to the elements and to fend off carnivorous cats who have, on one occasion, climbed into my window and attacked my arm with its fur. I am sure they would like to devour a noisy puppy who would be disturbing their sleep.

The day was spent later at a restaurant tucked in the middle of Chinatown. If any of you have some craving for Dim Sum, I would recommend Yum Cha Restaurant. We had the high-tea buffet which for 16.80++ (coming up to just under 20) per person, meant that we could eat whatever we want from an extensive menu. 3 hours, countless plates, numerous tea refills, language barriers sidestepped later, we were satisfied. Somehow, despite feeling full, this buffet didn't give the queasy feeling I usually get when eating at other buffets such as the fast-foodish sushi ones (you don't need me to spell out S-A-K-A-E, right?).
