Buttercup was in Xi-an China this week. She visited Qin Dynasty Army Terra-Cotta.
The construction of Emperor Qin's Mausoleum lasted nearly 40 years. Emperor Qin died in 210 BC while on the fifth tour of his empire. He devoted his whole life to search for the elixir of immortality. He never imagined that he would leave this world at the young age of 50. The tomb was not complete when his body was buried within it. According to a decree of the Second Emperor, thos of his father's ladies who has no children were ordered to follow the emperor to the grave. Many of the tom builders were also buried alive. Thousands of officials were killed and thousands of craftsmen were buried alive in order to keep the tomb secret.
Emperor Qin believed that life under the ground after death was a continuation of life on earth. Therefore he constructed a huge mausoleum for himself.
Surprisingly today Mummy decided to bring us to Botanic Gardens for a gathering with Odie, dodo, momo, fluffy and the others from Singapore North group... The last time we came to Botanic Gardens was last year July. Time flies isn't it.. The weather was excellent.. sunny but not too hot. We ate the delicious and vey pretty cup cake.
Jack and Joey's Mummy has helped us to get one kg of deer tendons at Chinese Medicine hall. Every wednesday Cookie and I get to chew deer tendons as treats. I still love to chew deer tendon. But Cookie seems like not so keen anymore.. she takes longer time to chew the deer tendon.. and sometimes when she is not looking, I will steal her unfinished deer tendon.. ha ha ha...
We finally went to K9 today with Jack and Joey. We have not been to K9 for one year already. The blue paint on the flooring has faded inside the K9 cafe. They have added a new salt-water swimming pool outside. Joey turns out to be very greedy.... and eats damn fast
