SO many things happened today... good and bad ba...

early morning had driving, and my driving is rubbishly horrible! sigh sure fail one la...

then had a mini potluck with my friends in sch ahhaha...

then finally i thought ending of the day returning to the lab was a bore, but I actually saw 2-3 cockatoos outside the lab, in the trees! COuld tell that they were cockatoos cos of their crest. But it wasn't yellow... seemed white...I wonder if they escaped from the birdpark... but my friend and i were saying Jurong birdpark quite far lei... ahah.... it was quite a sight, from the Pharmaceutics lab, my friend and I observed it for about 10min and stopped doing our stuff ahhaha...

then there was another squirrel which wanted to steal 1 of the bird's food. that bird seemed to be grasping onto an orange, and it was diligently peeling away. I don't know if I saw correctly, cos it's quite far away la... but quite interesting ah ha...then I think there was also another crow? But 2 against 1, the crow eventually flew away.

here's a pic of a white / umbrella cockatoo! not taken by me of course! i was too far away.

and finally a squirrel pic. so cute! haha..

The Bedlington Terrier

I didn't think that such a dog breed would appear here... But today as I was taking a bus home, it appeared - the lamb-look-alike, triangular-faced dog - Bedlington Terrier! I was rather amazed by it, I smiled and turned my head back to look at it as the bus zoomed pass haha...It's head's really funny, and it looks cute haha..

"It has been described as a dog with the heart of a lion and the appearance of a lamb. With his pear-shaped head, arched back and curly coat, the Bedlington Terrier in fact does look like a little sheep.

The Bedlington Terrier was originally named the Rothbury Terrier, after the district of Rothbury on the English border.

Bedlington was used as a vermin hunter by the miners of Bedlington who also exploited its gameness as a fighting dog in the pits. "

DId You Know?

1) that banded sea snakes are viviparous, in that they bear live young offspring at sea & not lay eggs? Except the banded sea crait which is able to come ashore to lay eggs.

Click here for more info!

2) that baby koala bears eat their mother's poo for nutrition purposes?

CLick here for more info!

3) that koalas need at least 20hrs of sleep a day because of the tiredness from chewing a large amount of hard eucalyptus leaves?

Found out about all these when watching Animal Planet / National Geographic haha..

4) female birds can lay eggs even without a male partner?

Found out from my bird! And I suspect she's suffering from egg binding now - an egg is "stuck" in her body..

Maremma!!

Have been wanting to "research" on this dog breed after watching Hana Kimi, now I finally can get down to doing it!

So this dog is a Maremaner, or Maremma Sheepdog !

"The Maremma Sheepdog is a massive, noble distinctive-looking dog with a bear-like head. "

Indeed! My first impression of it! It truly resembles a white bear, and it must be so nice to cuddle and hug!

The Maremma originates from Italy its name comes from the grazing plains in southern Tuscany. It is the best known of the Italian sheepdogs, but rare in places outside Italy. It is a flock-guarding dog.
