Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Lunar New Year!

Xin Nie Kuai Le! Gong Xi Fa Cai!

That’s me wishing all of you lovely readers a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! Well, tomorrow at any rate 🙂

Today, being the eve of the new year, is when we all return home to be with our families and enjoy the Reunion Dinner. The feasting starts tonight! 😀 Actually mine started yesterday because I came back earlier 😀  Tomorrow sees us welcoming in the Year of the Dragon with a leap and a bound and it would be interesting to see just how it will turn out for us all.

As is traditional at this time of year, MWS will be on hiatus while I go home and enjoy the festivities. In our part of the world, I know there is a long break on so if you are travelling, I wish you safe travels.

To everyone else celebrating the new Lunar year, I wish you Gong Xi Fa Cai and may the Dragon year bring you even more happiness, health and prosperity!

Be back soon… once the CNY cookies and tidbits run out… 😉

xoxo

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

We just started retailing our dog treats @quandogtreats at our first offline outpost! We’re available exclusively at Lex’s Patio Pantry @lexpatiopantry, a brand new cosy spot in the heart of Bangsar. 

Housed at the base of Kapas Condominium, (enter from Jalan Penaga), you’ll find the brand new Lex’s Patio Pantry, a curated grocer with pantry staples and a little cafe set up offering breakfast and lunch. It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly! Scroll to the end to see what my efforts are like trying to get a photo with the kid 😒

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.
