WTF: We’re The Furballs!

Cuddle a dog at WTF: We’re The Furballs

This is what caught our attention when we happened to pass by this shop at one of our favourite ‘little areas’ in Singapore, Katong, one fine Saturday afternoon. I was hesitant at first but it was G who convinced me to go in to WTF: We’re The Furballs! Little did I know, the visit changed the course of our lives.

Ok, so I am exaggerating. G and I have been, for a while now, deliberating on getting a doggie. Initially, we wanted to get a pug because of Pigi and Wigi, our pug friends, (‘owner’ is our good friend) but having been exposed to Poppy, our office boss (toy poodle), and Pepper, G’s officemate’s shnauzer, we are now confused on what to have. Visiting WTF didn’t help at all! We were bombarded with little furballs, making pa-cute to get our attention, with their waggin’ tiny tails – now we, or maybe it’s just me, want to take them all back home!

WTF is a doggie cafe or a dog playhouse which claims to be the first in Singapore! When we first came in, we only paid S$7.50 to get in with a free bubble tea. But when we visited recently, they now have an admission fee of S$5 plus the cost of your bubble tea which is about three dollars. After your purchase, yu go up the second floor, and then you get to play, cuddle, run chase and sleep with the little darlings for as long as you like (or for as long as they like you!).

Introducing:

Bui Bui – The Pug. She was so cute sleeping on G’s lap the last time we visited.

I took it home! G, not the dog. 😦

From Top to Bottom: Mochi, Duchess and LuLu all fast asleep.

Well, the dogs were not the only ones sleeping when we visited…

The coolest thing the last time we visited was that they were all crowding around us both and comfortably settled on our laps for a nice little nap. *sigh* And I was in dog heaven!

That’s Slinky (the Dark, Little Sausage) and Mochi fast asleep on my legs.

Feel like I’m a dog whisperer! They were all around! I can’t even leave as Mochi was growling at me when I try to move her! The brown little one is Yuki-Chan.

Anyway, a trip to WTF does wonders. It is even a good way to de-stress. Imagine if I have all of them at home?  Hmmm… I’d go crazy! 😀 I think I can only handle one! But seriously, we are really thinking of getting one and is researching on what best to have! In G’s head, it’s good for me to keep my ‘baby’ thoughts at bay! In my head, it’s so it will keep me company when G’s away for a night of boys and booze! 😉

Before we left, we had to sign a visitors’ book and we came across this sad little note from one of the visitors:

This is a sad, don’t you think? Or maybe this was just written in jest!

And this is our note to ze doggiez! 🙂

So if you’re a dawg lovah and doesn’t own one, try visiting WTF: We’re The Furballs (and take one home, put it in your bag!). :p

The Best Laksa Place in Singapore – 328 Katong Laksa

I was never a fan of ‘Indian’ food so I never dared to try Laksa ever since I’ve first set foot here in Singapore. Little did I know that Laksa is NOT an Indian food but is a Peranakan (Chinese and Malay mix) cuisine and that it’s surprisingly really good.

My first conversation with G included him ‘promising’ to take me to this popular and best Laksa place in the whole of Singapore, the Katong Laksa (East of Singapore). True to his word, albeit rather late (he fulfilled the rest of his promises earlier in our relationship!), he took me to 328 Katong, which is the best-est among the Laksa stores in the area.
