A sniffer dog called A-do?

This dog is a Springer Spaniel trained to sniff out flammable fluids at a shopping centre in Beijing. It (don’t know if it’s a male or female dog so I have to say “it”) started work two days ago.

Side effects of watching Love Bakery?

I was watching Love Bakery until just before 10 last night. After that I switched back to Channel 8, which was showing The Little Nyonya. Xiang Yun and Ng Hui were speaking of Jeanette Aw’s character 菊香Juxiang (meaning “Chrysanthemum fragrance”).
Me: (inwardly) Hey wasn’t the floral tea shop in Love Bakery called 黄金菊 Huang Jin Ju (Golden Chrysanthemum)?

As we wanted to watch Forensic Heroes on Channel U, we changed channels. After a while a scene where Yoyo Mung was driving past a Mercedes-Benz sign came on.
Me: (inwardly again) In Love Bakery A-do was working at a Mercedes-Benz workshop…

Some songs for Christmas

In line with the Christmas atmosphere which has been building up for a while (I heard Christmas songs on radio as I studied - and am still studying - for my exams in mid-November), here’s 2 Christmas related songs, 《下雪》Xia Xue (Snowing) from A-do and 《雪绒花》Xue Rong Hua from Kym Jin Sha.
