Wow, it's been a week already? Let The Sunday Times roll again!

This week, I am thankful for :

1) My trusty DSLR which has served me in innumerable moments that I aim to capture

2) My friends & to appreciate those around me even more.

This week has been crazy. Especially the weekend of back-to-back events!

Here's what rocked my week this time round :

Guess where we were at on a Friday night?

Sometimes, I swear he thinks he's a human being 

Indulged in some sin at New York New York Deli @ One Utama

Unfortunately, I didn't like it at all. The food (we ordered 4 dishes!) tasted meh to us

Theboyfie & I decided on Pasta Zanmai @ Mid Valley Megamall for dinner.

So here's a new once-a-week series; published every Sunday night to recap the highlights of my week, capture what piques my interest and to share recommendations for to-go places and to-eats throughout the week.

These are the bucketful of things that made this week more awesome than the last!

Had fun watching my little boy Chivas playing with his new fluffy toy mouse that theboyf bought him! 

Had some pub grub with my gurlfriend Pammy at Tom, Dick & Harry's @ TTDI

We had a pint of Blackthorn Cider, Breaded Button Mushrooms, Pork Ribs Curry, Chicken & Mushroom Pie

Needless to say, you know what it is despite the fish eye distortion! 

Succumbed to my Swedish meatball cravings at Ikea @ Mutiara Damansara

Hey, did you know there is an app called REAL LIFE?  That's right.

My buddies & I surrendered our cellphones & piled them up in the middle of our table for

a more personal social outing!

Lunchdate with theboyf at Sakae Sushi @ Sunway Pyramid

We had Beef Sukiyaki, Japanese Potato Salad, Sesame Squid, Soft Shell Crab and lots more!

Chanced upon this and I couldn't agree more.

I think everyone should heed this about everyone!

So today is National Hug Your Cat Day!

BabyChivas, which corner are you curling up this time? Mommy's coming for you hehe!

Cuddling Chivas in my arms today

When I woke up, buddy Pam retweeted UberFacts' tweet about National Hug Your Cat Day and tagged me in it 🙂

To celebrate, I ran to the living room to squeeze that mischievous furball, my bundle of joy 

Gave him a few treats & his favorite can of tuna… and then hugged/squeezed/cuddled him again!

Rubbed his belly… and then hugged/squeezed/cuddled him again!

Brushed his fur & scratched him behind his ears.. and then hugged/squeezed/cuddled him again!

Hugging him everyday as a pastime 

But if you're a true cat lover and a loving parent of your kitty, this day wouldn't strike any significance to you.

Just like me, because I hug my furkid Chivas everyday – several times even!

Hugging him when he was still a  tiny 4 month old kitten 

For those who doesn't know my babyChivas, I've blogged about him here late last year 🙂

He's the kitten of both purebred parents daddy American Curl & mommy a Ragdoll

SO GO HUG YOUR KITTEH!! 

Ohai! Hope your weekend was just as exciting and eventful like mine was, if not better!

Today imma introduce you my little one. No, I did not go into hiding for 9 months and produce an offspring.

Born 7th June 2011

My 5 month old American Curl x Ragdoll kitten

BabyChivas, would you like a glass of Chivas on the rocks?

Many question the reason behind his name. It is Chivas, named after the 1st blended Scotch whiskey that introduced me to the world of partying and drinking, Chivas Regal. Behold the wonder:

Ohai. We meet again.

So yes, hence the name Chivas. Also because I wanted to name my furkid after a two-syllable alcoholic beverage but other brand names didn't seem to cut it for a name of a cat.

I'm pree sure you would've known all about Chivas if you've been following me on Twitter or Facebook.

Here we are at Old Town White Coffee for dinner 🙂

Monday blues begone! Imma spam you with photos of my kittyboy today. Okay? 😀 😀

Adorable one

My 1st day bringing babyChivas home!

In case you were wondering how a 5 month old kitten can be so big, it's because of its breed.

It's a purebred American Curl with a Ragdoll for its mommy. It took the traits of its father, an enormous cat.

Cradling babyChivas

Got him for a fair bit of a price but he's worth everything to me now.

One of the reasons why I chose Chivas from its entire litter of siblings, is because he magically winked at me

And I managed to catch it again!!!!!!!! He only does it to me though 😀 😀 😀 

My one and only kittyboy

Brought him back to granny's place and there were dogs around so.. IN THE CAGE YOU GO! 😀

For your own safety, boy 

I hate it when he's eyes/pupils get tiny (direct sunlight) cos it makes him look a tad bit creepy

See what I mean? Creepy.

Btw, check out his ears. Total curly-eared trait from daddy American Curl!

Talking to Chivas before bedtime

Bought him a red toy shark to play with!

Who's my prim and proper kitty?

Just chillin' on the sofa

Ready to pounce? 😀

POUNCE!

Food??

Just fooling around

How can you not love him?

Coming from a family who despises cats, thefockers instantly warmed up to babyChivas – faster than I thought they would! Granny and mom hates the living daylights of felines; warning me never to bring him back.

But knowing my rebellious nature, I did anyway. And guess what???

Woohoo 😀 😀 See? If you give everything a chance, it will turn out great!

Nommy!!! 😀

No mouse for this computer, cat.

Outing with kittyboy at Desa Park City with my mates 😀

Yippee yay for pet-friendly zones! 

Another outing!

Looking out the window

Although I look dreadful in this photo, babyChivas

looks simply adorable so I just HAD to post it up

Shocked expression LOLOL

Watching TV together

babyChivas being sucha baby!

I'm blessed to have housies that equally love and adore my kittyboy.

In fact, they do help me with disciplining him when he destroys our cables/wires by gnawing on them

Housie Edwin – Chivas' merciless discipliner, Uncle Edwin 😛

Housie Darryl – Chivas' affectionate & pampering Uncle Darryl

"OH NO!

DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG AGAIN?"

Funny how we brought Chivas over to buddy Venessa's house to befriend her cat, Whiskey.

Chivas & Whiskey's 1st meet …….. didn't go well 🙁

"UGHHH. GTFO! NO! EWW! I HATE HER!"

Whiskey & Chivas not playing with each other

Chivas can be quite a whiner sometimes.

Especially when he wants more attention or food 😀 😀

WHINE WHINE WHINE

That's when mommy cajoles you 

Happy now?

He's sucha child sometimes.

Well he should be, he's only 5 months old (4 months, at time of the above photo)

Just like me, I love how he can sleep instantly anywhere he wants

This was taken while he was keeping me company on my roadtrip to Ipoh!

Or just on my lap while I'm busy with work

Or over-exposed & vulnerable on the bed

Or in my arms like a baby!

Although I don't sleep with babyChivas, we do take naps together

Jessicat and her kittycat off to catch some zzzzzz's 😀

"MOMMY! HOW DO I GET DOWN FROM HERE??"

Smile for the camera!

When I figured I was bringing him out with me all the time, I thought I'd just get a kittybag for him

So he can follow me whenever and wherever!

Another random photo:

Looking all serious and shizz

Also recently bought a kitty tee for him too!

Look who's a handsome boy now?

Lookin' all smug

But still adorable nonetheless

Cuddly kitty! 

Oh and, you know what randomly came to my mind as I was choosing kittytees for him?

The fact that we always watch him poop – cos it's interesting to watch to be honest LOL

So.. no watching ey? Can we take photos instead? 😛 😛

POOP! You're on candid camera!

Oh, speaking of candid camera, you should totally see Chivas after showering. 

HE.LOOKS.RIDICULOUS. And extremely scrawny!

HOUMAIGAWD LOLOLOL

Wet cat 

BabyChivas snoozes a lot during the day but is tip-top alert during the night

"WHAT'S THAT, MOMMY?"

BabyChivas can be quite an intellectual kitty too.

Whilst I was slaving away at my assignments and exams, he just loves coming over to me and sitting there to keep me company. Sometimes even walk up and stare or sit on my notes!

Heh. Excuse me

Thanks for the offer, sweetheart, but I don't think I can trust you to give me a Distinction for my assignment

Microsoft Word kitteh

Another random huggable kitty photo of him

Better than any huggable plush/soft toy! 

Also, like clockwork, he mews softy and squeaks whenever he is being squeezed hehe!

Cuteness overload. Mommy and everybodeh loves you!

So there you have it. An entire post about my furkid.

Photo credits to housies Darryl & Edwin and my iTouch

Ain't he a celebrity cat? 😛 So many people wanted to meet him already for the past 1 month ever since I tweeted and Facebooked him to the world! 😀 😀 One day, just maybe one day, I'll bring him out partying with me to meet his muse, Chivas Regal LOL

I was joking 😉

Great week ahead peeps!
