Vivo City

Not too long after Mage came back from France, we made a trip to Singapore's Largest Shopping Mall, Vivo City to get a new choke chain for me, as the current one has become rusty.

I was ecstatic to step foot paw into an air-conditioned shopping mall, even though pets like me are only allowed in the pet shop and the open air space just outside.


Outside Vivo City's Pet Shop.



Rane had to take countless blurred pictures like this
before she was able to take one clear picture of me.



In the end, she had to resort to using flash,
(partially because I couldn't stop fidgeting).



Mage attempting to test my new choke chain.
*Coughs Hard*



I was forced to post in front of the arcade,
so as to justify that we really went into a shopping mall!



All thanks to the flash, I had such scary eyes!
I looked like I was possessed!!!





As we were walking on the grass patch, this middle aged lady lost control of her small little white dog that resembles a Pekingnese or Japanese Chin (couldn't see really well as it was dark.) That dog ran towards me and after a sniff of greeting, I decided that the dog wasn't my cup of tea and
wanted to walk away.

Suddenly, the dog growled fiercely at me and charged towards me, and attempted to snap my beak snout and bite my neck!

It was all out to kill me! All this while with it's owner shouting for it, and attempting to restrain it. Apparently, the owner has little control of the dog.

The whole episode ended when Mage carried me off from the ground.

Even so, the dog was still crazily jumping at his feet, and he could still feel the sharp edge of it's teeth.

Even though the owner apologised frantically after that, I was still badly traumatised.
(This wasn't the first time I am bitten by another dog.)

Mage was worried that I may be injured and got Rane to check me.
(She was standing there watching the 'show', without any attempts to save me)
Thank goodness I was fine, otherwise I would have gotten the dog owner to compensate me for medical fees, inclusive of laser surgery to get rid of the ugly scars.

What a Bad Dog!



I wished I could board the monorail to Sentosa.
Sighs.



After that Mage and Rane decided to bring me to this pet's cafe at Mohd Sultan Road for dinner. We reached there at 9.20pm sharp and after deciding on what to eat, we placed our orders at
9.35pm. Only then did the waitress told us that their kitchen closes at 9.30pm, even though Rane was asking about a main dish earlier on (which was a strong indication of us wanting to place an order for dinner).

Rane was shocked and somewhat angry with the staff for not telling us that the kitchen closes at 9.30pm even though the cafe itself closes at 11.00pm. (Neither did the website nor the menu states so. Sighs)

Most pet owners in Singapore will know the frustration of finding a cafe/eatery/restaurant/coffeeshop that is animal/pet friendly. So imagine our frustration that day; it was 9.30pm, we were hungry, and there were no other pet cafes around that's likely to be opened.

Luckily, the Japanese restaurant next door allowed us to sit at their al fresco dining area. (Probably because Rane & I decided to use our expressive eyes to look really pitiful!)

But I still did not get my dinner, because the Japanese restaurant only served food for human consumption!!!

Sighs! Bad Luck Day.

To make me feel a little better, Rane and Mage decided to
bring me for a walk down Robertson Quay.



I really blended in well into the background in this picture,
without any digital modification nor special settings
to the camera. We only realised about it after we uploaded
the pictures to the computer.



And Rane forced me to pose for another picture.
This is the sharpest picture among all the blurred ones.



After seeing how long we struggled with taking a picture,
this among couple decided to give us a hand by getting me
to focus and looked in the direction of the camera.
