Hayley was interested to see this man on his motorbike, all stacked up with bread. this type of Roti Seller will drive around selling bread in the suburbs of malaysia... dangerous but that's life in the big city!

does your doooog beet??? young munchkin was much braver than her big bro... even fed Xena a treat.

weighing in at 2.9 kilos the girl takes a walk on the wall... lots of adventures to be had..

living in an apartment the warrior princess gets little chance to see the real world. apart from her visits to the vet, saturday 13th may was Xena's first day at the Metropolitan Park, Penang. She was unsure at first how to deal with the feeling of the grass and 2 legged folk all around. It didn't take long till she was exploring and sniffing and a few other bodily functions too boot! 1.5 hours was not quite enough but a good start ! She seemed blissfully ignorant of the sign that said.. no pets!! even though there was a picture , she just refused to take the hint!
