Dog Whisperer - Cesar Millan




ABBEY: Naughty dog? Not anymore. There had been a great amount of plug in NatGeo regarding this TV show about a man who can talk to dogs. It's not speaking to them literally, but he is an expert for understanding dog behavior. The man is Cesar Milan. When I saw an episode of his, I was shocked. He can communicate well to the canine even if it's only the first time he's seen it. He always tell the viewers to act as the leader of the pack. Don't get intimidated by them, and learn to appreciate and reward the dog's accomplishment.

As the Season 1 Finale aired, he said that not all the dog stories ends with a happy ending. One dog was euthanized for showing bizarre behavior. Another episode in Season 2 showed that the dog whisperer was bitten by a bulldog.
Get well soon Cesar, and more power to the show.

WILL: I do not hate dogs but i do not love them either. I was bitten by our own dogs not only once, not only twice but a lot. And iba't-ibang dogs iyon ha. So imagine, how i react whenever I saw any kind of dog. 
      Watching Cesar dominates any breed of dogs made me awed! Damn it, how he does it?! Hehe. I learned a lot from his show but the fear is still in me.

Clementi Mall

Abbey:
We planned to get to this mall numerous times. Its location is out of our way with respect to our place. It's way too far. So one day when I picked her up at her office, we decided to have dinner there, but still we were hesitant to go. We rode the MRT and alighted at Clementi station. Just like other mall, it is integrated in the railway transit. Fashion boutiques, electronic shops, jewelry stores, and diners can be seen in the mall. We tried to eat at a Korean restaurant, but the queue is long. Minimum waiting time is one hour. We ended up at their food court. We had Japanese chicken curry rice and pork katsudon. Our dessert is at Baskin Robbins. We stroll to see what other shops they have. Good to have set our feet on this newly opened mall.


WILL: Flyers of this mall is all around Tanjong Pagar. Curiosity hits, after office we rode the green line train and few stations we were there. 
      As we were there, disappointment of the place struck, we expect a big mall that housed many shops. Nothing special. They have just a good advertisement for you to drag yourself in to it.
