Happy Fall
November 10th, 2010
I really enjoy this time of the year: the morning air is crisp, the leaves are changing colour, the temperature is not too cold or too hot.
I’ve been busy because I’ll be moving at the end of this year and have been trying to sort out the details on how to bring the chinchillas with me.
In the meantime, I’ve had a chance to enjoy my last fall in the mitten state.

Visited a local apple orchard

The ground was so lush, it felt like carpet

Fall produce being sold at the farmers market


Acorn squash
The chinchillas are also loving this time of the year; as the temperature drops, they can play longer because they don’t get too hot as fast.

This is not a flattering photo of Tubby because he wouldn’t stop moving around & he managed to pee during the photoshoot

Edible Chinchillas
April 29th, 2010
Don’t let the title scare you!
Earlier this month, there was a birthday (not mine). I had 2 sculpted cakes custom ordered to look like none other than:


Tubby & Winnie!!!

This is the only time that the 2 of them can be seen next to each other ^.^
Not only that they look good, they taste good too! Tubby (the cake) is a chocolate rum cake with Swiss meringue icing, and Winnie is a chai tea cake with Italian meringue
In real life, the Tubby cake is more realistic looking than the Winnie one. But I like Winnie’s pose better


As you can see, the Winnie cake is rich with icing (too rich for my taste).

Whisker Craziness!
April 8th, 2010
Check out those whiskers!



In memory of Baby Hamster

And those long whiskers are not for looking cute only, according to Live Science:
Most rats have poor vision, but they make up for it with the “whiskers on their snouts. They use the long hairs, also called “vibrissae,” in the same way that blind people use canes. By whisking the hairs across objects the come across, rats and other rodents form mental pictures of their surroundings.

Vischaca
March 20th, 2009
Boyfriend has a background picture of Machu Picchu on his computer. So I casually mentioned to him that Machu Picchu is where Tubby & Winnie’s cousins are from. He gave me the weirdest look; after all these times of owning 2 chinchillas, he had always thought that the Andes mountain (where chinchillas are from) is geographically located somewhere near India & Nepal 0_o
Then, he curiously searched for “Machu Picchu chinchilla” and he found a bunch of travel pictures of ‘chinchillas’ residing in the Machu Picchu ruins. When he shared the search results with me, I remember of another creature my friend had emailed me about; those are not pictures of ‘chinchillas’ residing in Machu Picchu, but they are Vischacas! They’re close cousins of chinchillas, no wonder people mistakenly believe that they are in fact chinchillas!
One of these days I do want to make a trip to Chile’s part of the Andes mountain, where Tubby is from; and then I’m going to throw some raisins at the wild chinchillas*
*I’m just saying; don’t do this because it’ll only make the wild animals dependent on humans & it’ll just make it harder for them to survive on their own in their natural habitat.

I just uploaded some pictures from my Nokia phone. Check them out!
Next thing to do: try to figure out who to convert a 3GP video to a compatible format I can upload on Youtube .. I still haven’t figured that out yet.
