The Championship CAT Show...part 3.

While the Championship Cat Show got underway in the morning, Mrs Lim Hwee Hua and many busloads of of Serangoon residents congregated at the Changi Boardwalk starting point for an organised early morning walk. They were joined by many GRLs from the various RCs and NCs and other GROs. She made it back to the Cat Show as Guest of Honour for the event.

Taking a closer look at these pretty little things. By the way, some of the cats are not little at all. They may be bigger than your little puppies and small dog breeds.
And they come in different shapes and sizes, with unique eyes or fur peculiar to their own breed.

The Serangoon was certainly well-decorated with colourful banners, posters, displays...all on and about CATS.
I did not see a single dog there. They obviously know when to keep away!

Australia and Japan.

The Championship CAT Show


On Sunday 22 March 2009, The Serangoon was host to a huge event...the Eagle Pack Championship CAT Show. It was a full day event that stretched from 10 am to over 5 pm.
The event drew a very large crowd of obviously cat lovers and others who wanted to learn more about these lovely feline animals.
Unk Dicko was there in the later part of the afternoon with his digital camera, the Canon Ixus 70 to hopefully capture some pretty shots.
It was more than I bargained for! In honest truth, it turned out to be a revealation for me as this was the 1st time I had seen such a show close-up.
Yes, even touching these lovely cats and chatting with their equally lovely owners about their devoted pets.
I must confess I have never seen such a collection of cats from various parts of the world.
The only cats I know are our "Singapura" local ones and some like the Persian variety.
But those that were there for the competition took my breath away for sheer beauty and uniqueness.
Super-duper is all I can say!
Check my upcoming posts for the details and the pictures.

Aljunied GRC & Hougang SMC Dialogue Session

MPs from the Aljunied GRC together with Mr. Eric Low were at the Aljunied GRC & Hougang SMC Dialogue Session for GRLs held on March 5, 2009. The Presentations together with speeches/comments from MPs and GRLs were enriching. Now we have a better understanding on why the Government did not reduce the GST. Those who did not attend
the Dialogue Session last night had missed something for sure !!!

MPs from Aljunied GRC together with Mr Eric Low were at the Dialogue Session held at The Serangoon on Mar. 5, 2009, for GRLs in the Aljunied GRC. We were treated to 2 presentations on the "Resilience Package" and "All Communters will Benefit...." plus speeches/comments actively participated by MPs and GRLs. Indeed, it was an enriching Dialogue Session. Now we have a better understanding why the GST should not be cut! If you were not present, you had missed something !
