Clicka!

This frog spotted this sign at SMU! Have seen it many times before, and have always wanted to clicka. And that is what I did! While waiting for Nick to take a tinkle (eew, weird word!), I managed to finally snap this clickaclicka. My first name (Ollie, okay, Ollie, do I have to spell it out everything) is right there! Fame! Where's the fortune?

Cameras make that sound - clickaclicka.

Cameras make this frog very happy! Because, because of cameras, my beauty is on the internet for all the world to admire!

Beautifully
Ollie

Alriiight! Off to a snackeroooo!

Out and about!

Lazy afternoon at home today, because Mel's not up for going out even though she wants to. I sigh. I am but a frog! So what is a frog to do! At least she lets me have the computer...

Anyway, this was from the night before Valentine's day! We spent a long, late night out! We had dinner at a Peranakan restaurant in Kallang. Peranakan! Like the Little Nonya, that little brainwasher of a drama serial.

Aaaanyway, we got to sign the guestbook before we left! I am pretty sure I had the honour of being the First Frog to leave his webbed-footprint on this place which is surely previously untreaded by others of my species. Nick said Who wants to sign the guestbook! and I said I DO! I DO! PICK ME! in the manner of a child who wants to lick the chocolate mix off the mixing ladle on Christmas morning. I really wanted to write something in the guestbook, after all, I have been practising my penmanship. And that is what I did. I wrote my full name: Ollie Kodok Frogobo, Singapore.

The historic moment! The pen is in this frog's hand!

Aaaand, we took to the streets later. It was wonderful.

Wanting very much to get out of the house

Gino! Where art thou!

Chloe just looked my way to tell me she'd heard a singing monkey!  Oh!  It must be Gino!  Who else would sing at this hour?  And what other monkey is there but Gino!  My favourite, cuddly Gino!

Oh Gino, do come out to play soon!

Playtime's over for tonight

Edible Stuff: Small creatures

I was just about to tempt it into my awaiting mouth, but Mel swatted it!

Oh well, I am but a frog. I decided it would be better, anyway, for me to content myself with raisins. And that is what I did!

Happy and fed (again)
Kodok

Everything's coming up roses! (and balloons)

This frog had a bad start to Valentine's. I mean, I tried to get a date, I really did! I was nice to everyone, but nobody seemed to catch my hint! Mel said yeah yeah I'll take you out but did she? DID SHE? No. That is what she did. She did nothing, she did.

So this is what I did.

I threw a tantrum, I did, and stayed in bed till she learnt her lesson to treat me good.

I stayed in bed and left her that letter. Yes, I did.

Stop taking photos! I ordered, but I am but a frog, and nobody pays me any attention.

BUT I MISJUDGED THESE HUMANS. I DID. And I was very sorry and quite embarrassed with myself, because they were being oh so kind to a frog on his first Valentine's day! I was pampered beyond words, because to start it all off, I was gently (yes, gently does it!) pried out of bed and carried to the kitchen where - to my utter surprise! - I was greeted by a whole lot of snackeroos! Even raisins! No sign of tim-tams, but that's okay.

This is me with just a teeny portion of my hoard!

Yesyesyes! Snackeroos to last a few weeks, at least! There were so many! But I got started on those first. And they even got me cake! Chocolate! Only I don't have photos, so I'll have to ask someone to upload those from the camera. Well, you can't blame me, it was chocolate! And after missing breakfast, I was quite famished. Aaaaaaand, they gave me a balloon! Rather, BALLOONS! In the shape of hearts! I was quite thrilled!

This was a great first Valentine's! I suppose sometimes it's best not to have a date, because everyone treats you nice when you throw a tantrum.

Very much loved
Kodok

More about Moles

You might have noticed that my new friend Syaz has a hugeass mole on her nose, and I think that that is cool, because I don't have any moles and would quite like one. They are like fashion statements. Marilyn Monroe had a famous one. A beauty mark, that's the nice word for moles. But moles are moles. Moles. Mole.

According to the Dictionary, there are many kinds of moles.

mole 2 |mōl| |moʊl| |məʊl|
noun
a small, often slightly raised blemish on the skin made dark by a high concentration of melanin.
ORIGIN Old English māl [discolored spot,] of Germanic origin.


This is the kind of mole I am referring to. Anyway, according to Urban Dictionary, a mole is "a really sexy animal that lives underground". This is why I embarked on a Mission to find out More about Moles.

Well I assure you that moles do not appeal in any way whatsoever to this frog!

Yupyupyup!

Yours in mole-titude

Don't let the sun go down on me

Guess where this frog spent much of yesterday afternoon? After the passport office, we headed to City Hall and, much like homing pigeons, landed ourselves in the Esplanade. We don't go there often, but it's the first place that comes to mind when you're in the area.

We stared out the window (oh no, staring out the window is someone's favourite activity) and had the RENT soundtrack playing on loop.

And then someone put out the sun at noon. They put the blinds down, much to my angry (muted, because this is a library) protests! Oh no.

The view was non-existent through the blinds, and we couldn't sit there staring at blinds, could we!

It was very bad.

I will show you!

The photo doesn't do justice to the bad-ness of the situation! We could hardly see out of the screen! I had a good mind to run off and tell the lady at the counter to put those blinds back where they came from! And that is what I did... until Mel pulled me by the collar and set me in her backpack.

But it was a good trip, we went away from the window after that, and went downstairs to the Open Space.

And I made a friend.

And we had snackeroos!
