the garden slug

I was at Mustapha a couple of days ago to get some canned goods in the middle of the day. I was on a mission to purchase the ugliest can of Sardines I can find ( I kid you not, but I’ll leave that tale for another day..)  Lo and behold, I saw these cans of ” Strained Foul “. I just HAD to take a snap shot of it!! Like, “STRAINED FOUL really!!??” ? I told myself I had to wiki it. Turns out that Foul is some kind of re-fried bean paste that’s insanely popular in the middle east. And yes, it is strained, hence the name. If I had to give it a garden slug spin, it will be re-named as Tender Beans slow-braised, exotic middle eastern style. Hahah.. :-0

.. I promise!

Just a few cat pics every now & then doesn’t make it a cat blog! Especially if there’s an animal welfare message & other shameless plugging involved!

These sturdy canvas bags are designed by Fiona Yuen of PawPledge (this is the only link you must click on today, if nothing else), sponsored by Sophia (to atone for & cleanse of past crimes), and sewn & printed by Shareub Marketing (this is the shameless plugging bit).

Fiona warns: For Illustration Purpose Only, Bag doesn’t come with Cat. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE BAG AS A PET CARRIER.

So trot on now to the real cat blog to learn more about PawPledge’s current fundraiser.

See! Told you this isn’t a cat blog!

A certain Ms Chor Lor managed to get photographic evidence that the Slugs do actually feed ourselves, all together that too!

Check out her ab fab blog where she exposes our secret sofa corner (not so secret anymore), our secret Slug uniform (‘cos only Chris wears it), and why you shouldn’t buy puppies from a certain pet farm in the east.

We’ve gotta admit it..We were totally bowled over by the response to our Valentine’s day dinner event Our little joint was packed with people in love, not just with their significant others, but these folks were in love with life itself. . We organized blind dates and friendship rallies for dateless souls, and the turnout was just fabulous.. People were enjoying themselves, having purposeful conversations and generally enjoying each other’s company.So, if you want love, you gotta go get some love, darling! Yes, pls limit your secret crushes to 2 per annum. ( especially if said crushee lives in hollywood or is married to Fann Wong etc etc)

We gave our V day diners a potted plant from Tanjong Katong nursery instead of a stalk of rose.

We hope that you get our profound drift on love being organic and real, and requiring effort and daily tending to.. Don’t get the wrong idea here, we are not love guru slugs. We just like to pretend to be all cheem and wise. :-0

Hope you had a great V day, just as we did ..Gdnite folks !

The “I Do”s scribbled all over the welcome board was all Hans slug’s idea… Didn’t know that Hans had such a marshmallow center. Haiyo, must quickly find Hans a gf, so he can whip out some of that repressed mushiness..

A colourful and chirpy spread for the happy ocassion..

Jesz & Alan! They make a really cute couple, I must say, and they were just a-glowing with happiness :-)

The moment of truth! The solemization of their marriage by the Justice of peace.

Thank You Kenneth for the letting us use your pics for our blog. That’s a highly unusual pose , I must say.. But we like!

Once again, congrats Jesz & Alan, and THANK YOU for trusting us enough to plan the reception for your big day..We wish you love that’s bursting at the seams and 1 million gb of joy!

Pancake – feline superstar!

Check out www.plushism.blogspot.com ! Nico hand-makes these chirpy happy handphone knickknack pouches… I asked her if she would kindly make 1 with the likeness of my pancake, and check out what she did! Look at the attention to detail.. she actually noticed pancake’s little brown mole. haha   I’m glad the D.O liked it! **phew…

This is my new gadget pouch, Mr Monsterzilla, it looks almost as crazed as I do!! Did i mention that the insides of the pouch has got pink candy stripes? Let’s support a fellow small business entrepeuner here who has the gumption to stick to her guns and her business mantra.. Support local talent!

Okie, we’re almost fully-booked for V Day dinner. Thanks to everyone who booked early + a number of good sports who signed up for blind dates! We still have a few outdoor seats available, if you don’t mind romanticising each other in full public view?

Lunch slots 12pm – 3pm are still available. Menu is the same as the one below + Iced Strawberry Mint Tea on the house.
