Suggested Bengal Cat Names

I have yet to give him a name yet, but if it’s not him then it’s his sibling, due to arrive in the Ng residences this November after Josiah’s Commonwealth Games. It’s a bengal kitten of four weeks old. It will be our joy, a stepping stone to the start of our family since we are not ready to have a baby yet for so many valid reasons.

According to the Wikipedia, the Bengal is a relatively new hybrid breed of cat, formed by the cross of a domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat. They have wild-looking markings like large spots, rosettes, light or white belly. The Bengal cat has a a desirable “wild” appearance with a gentle domestic cat temperament, provided it is separated by at least three generations from the original crossing between a domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat.

The best part is, its personality traits fit Josiah’s and mine. I will tell you more when I get to hug it in my arms.

Now, I need your help. Can you please suggest a name for this cute lil meow?

I just remembered when Charlie Sheen from “Two and A Half Men” told his fiance about Sir Lancelot the cat.

He’s more like SIR CRAP-A-LOT than SIR LANCELOT.”

That really cracked me up!

FINAL DECISION: CHUTNEY




Picnic at Williamstown Beach

I love our weekend mini-getaways on our scooter. Today, we spent some time with Josiah’s colleagues at Williamstown Beach.

An excerpt from the Williamstown Website:
“In November, 1835 Captain Robson Coltish, master of barque NORVAL sailed from Launceston, then ventured over the waters of Bass Strait with a cargo of 500 sheep and 50 Hereford cattle which had been consigned to these virgin shores by Dr. Alexander Thomas. After reaching the coastline of Port Phillip, Captain Robson chose the area we now know as Port Gellibrand, as a suitable place to unload his cargo. Within weeks of the first consignment, a stream of vessels began making their way across Bass Strait. Many of these new arrivals decided to settle in Williamstown because of the sheltered harbour. Within five years of those first arrivals to Williamstown 100 buildings were built, including two hotels (the Ship Inn and the Woolpack).”

I can’t believe the weekend is over already.




The Enterprize

Josiah and I had a great lunch at Yum Cha Dragon Restaurant at Docklands over the weekend before walking along the Docklands Waterfront. Dim Sum was nice at the restaurant although nothing out of the ordinary. By saying that, I meant the type of dishes one can typically find. I didn’t bother posting up photos because dim sum all look the same, really. Service was good although we did reckon there was one pretty waitress who seemed pretty “gutsy” and a little “stern”. It was really reasonable for us because I used the 25% discount off from the Entertainment Book.

The Enterprize ship dates all the way back in 1835 that first brought the settlers into Melbourne. This is a replica of the ship.

Oh, this final photo is a little random, I know. I was cheeky and said on Twitter that I had brought Joel Madden (Good Charlotte) out for shopping on his trip here, to buy Nicole Richie a new dress and a few people believed me. Diana had a good eye and saw him so she requested a photo. This shot was taken by Benji Madden, how nice. Diana really has a good eye! The last time she spotted Dannii Minogue and her hubby while we were on Chapel Street. Diana said Minogue’s perfume caught her attention. You might meet Lady Gaga shopping next to you tomorrow.

Anyway, life is good. I can’t emphasize enough! LIFE IS GOOD! I am very happy, so many things are looking up! Whee! Food entries next.
