monkey tail

Look at the sushi lucyriver made for lunch. They are a bit sour because the sugar added into the vinegar is not enough. Anyway they satisfied lucyriver craving for sushi for now.



One monkey made lucyriver angry today so lucyriver cut off his tail. Another collection of lucyriver souvenirs.

The monkeys asked why thank you is pronounced as ‘thank kiu’ but not ‘thank yu’. lucyriver explained because of the link of the two consonants k and y. lucyriver told them they may use thanks in informal occasion and surprisingly, when the training ended, they stood up and said ‘Thanks, Monkey Trainer.’ For once, their monkey brains spun fast.

holidays = candies

Holidays are like candies. No matter how many candies you have, the moment you pop them into your mouth, they are going to melt gradually until no more, leaving you with only the after sweet taste. How lucyriver wish holidays are like never-ending candies where no matter how hard you chew or suck them they’ll not gone. But, we all do know good things don’t last, don’t you agree. Even the after rain rainbow will disappear after the wonderful display of seven arch colours.

Returning to the kingdom of the flower fruit mountain, lucyriver will always think that lucyriver am going traveling and adventuring while training the monkeys. In that way, lucyriver will not be feeling so down and stressed.

The monkeys are cheeky today. Cheeky, cheeky monkey. No matter how cheeky they are, lucyriver will not go mad. lucyriver believe lucyriver can suppress all the anger for another three weeks before the long year end monkey holidays. Therefore, today lucyriver am all smiles with the monkeys. The monkeys are happy but still lack the enthusiasm. This is where lucyriver got to step in to make their spirit high and bright. No matter how dislike lucyriver am for some of the monkeys, lucyriver still want to see monkey year five do well in their MONKEY ASSESSMENT next month.

pasu sarawak

lucyriver don’t know if it’s the cold weather this morning or what but the monkeys are so unresponsive. They look like beautiful vases in the training rooms, decorating the interior, well, if lucyriver am getting vases, then they must be beautiful, good handiwork vases. These monkeys, well, sorry to say, they are the rejected ‘pasu sarawak’.

The monkeys say:

firework = fire flower (a species of flower that breathes fire)

football = foodball (yumyum, sounds delicious compared to fishball)

chicken = ciken (birds that eat ciku)

souvenir = hand fruit (fruit that you eat ‘with’ hand)

it's all about bananas

A filtered water is provided for the monkeys’ drinking as previously they drank tap water but lucyriver guess it is really like presenting a flower to a monkey cos they use it to wash their face, hand and feet. The more hilarious thing is the monkeys say that the water is tasteless and colourless, unlike the tuak (a kind of fermented wine). That’s why they don’t like it. If that the case, just let them have the tap water (tuak) then.

Our kingdom of flower fruit mountain is planning to beautify the kingdom landscape with trees, plants and flowers. The vegetation we have now is obviously not enough to feed the whole population of monkeys. san zhang has announced every sun wu kong has to bring a pot of orchid, lucyriver was surprised cos this was not discussed earlier. Wasn’t this san zhang’s own project. Why do sun wu kongs have to involved in it, lucyriver really couldn’t understand. Unless we want to have an orchid garden but it’s not an easy task. Even the orchid garden near the waterfront couldn’t maintain its survival after a few years, what a pity since it’s really a nice place with a variety of pleasant-to-the-eye orchids. What more to say if we want to have one in the kingdom of flower fruit mountain.

Now, where the hell do lucyriver get a pot of the anggerik, wild orchids perhaps, as it is usually in abundance along the roadside on the journey home. Or go home and see if there is any leftover. Money saved.

lucyriver thought after raya holidays will be weeks of relaxing but obviously lucyriver am wrong. There’ll be loads of activities; Monkey Prize Giving Day, a Jogathan, etc…Looks like lucyriver have to sell bananas these holidays to cover the donation for the Jogathans, selling at least fifty bananas.
