Hee another of my treasures!!! Its the Turtle Bookmark!!!Never used it though, purely to satisfy my turtle collecting craze!!!
Turtle No 60: Turtle Bookmark
This Turtle is not in my possession one, as i bought it for Esther's Baby 1st month. Its a rattle shaker for kids but has a turtle on it. Haha once you see it, you know its a gift from the turtle family. No turtle items can escape our eyes!!!

Turtle No 61: Rattle Shaker Turtle

Got this at bugis, just a bigger size Walkie Bits Turtle. Same function, press the shell and there's music and it starts to move. You can put 2 together to compete if you are bored enough :)

Turtle Clock

Yep!!! Another Turtle collectible!!! Its a Turtle Clock (comes with shaking action!!) This was spotted by Puny Turt at Suntec and she imediately bought one for her home. Of course, fatty turt couldnt stand not to have one so he bought one for the office. But sad to say the office's turtle clock sometimes shakes and sometimes don't. But overall, i simply love this Turtle Clock!!!
Way Cool!!!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!!!


Well you must be thinking how come you have not seen the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on this blog since we are such turtle fans!! Well here we are, the post for the TNMT!!! The much loved turtles that burst onto the cartoon scene in the 80s. I loved this cartoon alot and i vividly remember catching it after primary school!!! I am a proud owner of both the Giant size turtle MISB and action figures (Reissued) MOSC. I own the bad guys too but not showing here as this is afterall the TURTLE BLOG. :) For those who are not into toys. MISB means Mint In Sealed Box and MOSC means Mint On Sealed Card. Well all these determine the value of these toys. A box or card in good condition will fetch a higher price. Once the toy is without the box, the price drops drastically. So if you still have your old toys from ur yester-years in good condition, they can fetch you some money. My favourite has got to be Leonardo with his Katana Blades!!!

Dragon Turtles


Turtle No 47: Puny's Turt Dragon Turt. Puny Size and very cute :)
Turtle No 48: Fatty Turt's Dragon Turt. Its Green!!!
Fatty and Puny Turt has finally bought their dragon turtles after a few weeks of searching. Well for those who dun know wat is a dragon turtle. Well it is a hybrid of a turtle and a dragon. It has a dragon head with a turtle body. Its a union of 2 of the celestial animals. In Fengshui, its a very good ornament believed to bring luck, fortune and important people into your life. Well it cost us a bomb but we love it!!! Puny's is smaller in size and cuter. Coz Puny is cute too!!! :) Fatty's one is GREEN and looks majestic!!! I love how everything is beautifully carved.

The Turtle's Dragon Turts!!! (Together for the only time as they will be transferred to Fatty's and Puny's office repectively)

Well we went to this Fengshui Shop in AMK called Yuan Zhong Xiu, and we wanted to buy the dragon turtle but we ended up going for consultation with the Fengshui Master. Well it was quite interesting, like a peek into the future... (How true i do not know)

But i came up with a conclusion on consulting on FengShui... (Just my personal opinion, no offends to any fengshui master) If you cannot take the "truth" (which is often bad) and is not willing to spend money to buy fengshui ornaments, DUN EVER go for any consulation. Coz u will end up feeling very bad.... Thats my take...

Well me and puny bought our dragon turts so we are feeling pretty good!!! Wahahahha!!!! (Self consolation)

Happy Turts

Do you know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise?

Well i have met too many people who do not know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise, well read on if u are one of them....

Actually there is a division of the reptile family called the “chelonians.” And there are 3 variants of it: namely, Turtles, Tortoises and Terrapins, so whats the difference between the 3?

Turtles live in an aquatic environment. Firstly they have webbed feet with which it can swim more easily and a streamlined body (Main difference btw turtles and tortoises) The average turtle spends most of its life in oceans, lakes or rivers, and it has evolved adaptations that reflect this lifestyle. Turtles normally only come on shore when they are laying eggs and pnce the eggs hatch, the baby turtles will head straight to the sea (Sadly, not all survive... we shall go into this topic in a future post)

Tortoises are primarily land-dwelling creatures. They are not designed for the sea thus they appear stumpier-looking than turtles, with stubby, strong legs and a more rounded body shape. Tortoises that live in hot climates usually stay underground during the day (remember, reptiles are cold-blooded and need to protect themselves from extreme temperatures).

Terrapins are a kind of hybrid between turtles and tortoises. Like their cousins, the amphibians, terrapins spend equal amounts of time in the water and on land, and they can always be found in (or near) ponds, lakes and rivers. Terrapins are most often considered to be more closely related to turtles than to tortoises.
Dun fall on the vague impression that all turtles are “very slow reptiles that carry their houses on their backs.” Know the difference. And just my opinion, i dun think turtles are slow, since they can swim so gracefully in water.
