Walking is also good

After resting / lazing for months for not exercising, at last, i got a chance to join darling and Chu San for a walk. We went to Subang lake where darling and Chu San had their run and i have my walk.

Everyone has been telling me to do more exercises so it will ease my P.U.S.H. next time. P.U.S.H.? Pray Until Something Happen? =) nah, not this P.U.S.H. but is PUSH. =p Yeah, is PUSH.

Hope to really have more walks or swim.

Busy with my pets

My Stuart Boy is sick... got abit of fever coz his body is quite hot and he is not eating well and getting weaker. So we bring him to see the vet. Checked out the new vet in KK since is nearer to my Shah Alam house.

Together with hubby and mama, we bring along Stuart and WangWang.

Stuart - had to take some medication for 2 weeks. Antibiotic it is. It seems that he has some flee attacks?? hmmmm... which also cause his fur to drop. The vet also took some of his blood and fur to test. Well, he will be alright though... :) Good la, at least bring him to visit the vet.

WangWang - bring him to castrate but after some examination from the vet, found that his gums are abit infected, quite red. Hence, he is also on medication for a week. Before castrating him, he has to get his full vacination first.

Pray that all my cats are well till old. Don't give us any headache and tears enough. ;)

Dogs Day @ Chin Woo Stadium

A bit disappointed with today's doggies' event for the fact that it was so cramp up in such a small hall for the dogs with no proper place, grass area for the dogs to poo and pee and socialize! Still think the event should be held at the normal place, 1U park! Hope the next one will be better...

Only took 1 pic during the whole event! See how demotivated I am but I'm still smiling so cheerfully.... cozzzz... it's a dog man!

Transformer

Darling bring me along to watch Transformer together with all his colleagues, is their 'recreational club event' for movie tonight.

It was ok ler though i'm abit quiet. As usual, together with so many new people around, i tend to be quieter.

Anyway, is good to know darling's colleagues... :)

Rice Dumpling

Back to Malacca with darling to visit parents-in-law. And darling wanna eat dumpling so much that he asked mom-in-law to prepare all the rice dumpling ingredients and I help to wrap it. :) Which is good for me to brush up my dumpling wrapping skill that i got from grandma (dad's side) 2 years ago. Haven't been helping my grandma this 2 years in wrapping dumpling coz it always clashes with my other schedule, diving last year and chinese wedding ceremony this year.

Freaking scary incident!!!

Was going home, in the lift of my apartment suddenly came a tall handsome negro man about 28 yrs old greeting me, 'good day'. Being a polite person, i replied, 'good day to you too'.

And when the lift door opened at 3rd floor where the negro suppose to go out but instead, he was blocking the door with his hand from closing and cornered me..... =_= Then, i'm starting to feel abit nervous but not wanting to show it out, he then asked if i have 2 mins for him to share his FEELING???????

I told him im in a hurry to go home and he asked for my hp number which of course i won't give! Then i told him that i have to go as my hubby is waiting for me at home, emphasizing on the word 'hubby' so-called to get my message through that 'hey, im married.... and my man is waiting for me'.

Very reluctantly, he leave the lift looking at me without a blink on his eyes!

O.O I'm really quite scare of this incident that his face keep on reflecting in my mind!

"Oh Lord, please protect my incoming and outgoing daily especially junior... AMEN"

Promoted

Praise the Lord as i was being promoted to be the RC (Request Coordinator) / Workflow Specialist in my team. We had to go through interviews as usual for any post in our team, so thank God that everything went well and today the management announced the result. :D

Yeah! Praise the Lord!

Another good news is that, i get to be converted to permanent staff effectively 1st July since i'm being promoted to a higher role now! Wow! It has always been my wish that i can be a permanent staff instead of a contractor that i have to worry every year if my company were to renew my contract! Now, everything seems to be so great!

Yes and Amen!

Miss my darling so much!

Darling went to hike Gunung Tahan since Fri nite... miss him so so much that i can't really sleep at night thinking about him.......... arghhhh.... really cannot tahan without him around me nowadays... guess this is the love that bind us so closely together.

But really good that he is back now. :p Today is my happiest day as I was working happily thinking that I can see my darling after work.

Had music practice just now too, practicing with the Shell band - Studio 48. We will be playing for the Inter-C opening on 25 June. So glad that I still can play in some bands nowadays after not having to get to serve in the music team in church for 2 years now after changing to another church. Hopefully one day, i will be serving in the music team again! =)

So many bad news!!!

Can't imagine that all the bad things all happened in a row! Argghhh....

1. Fri, 29 May - my grandpa (dad's side) vomited pool of blood at home! Thank God grandma got one of my uncle and bring grandpa to the hospital. Grandpa stayed in HUKM till yesterday and was discharged where doctor said the internal bleeding had stopped. Prayerfully things are good with him now.... very scary though.

2. Sat night, 30 May - noticed that our hamster, Sappie who is a very old hamster where he already lost alot of fur having difficulty to breathe. We thought he can't make it to Sunday... but he survived and finally went to the Lord yesterday. A bit sad but also relief that he is not in pain anymore. Seeing him panting all the way makes me heartache.


RIP Sappie Boy!

3. Mon, 1 Jun - Chee Hwei who is in Australia had to go thought a 6 hours surgery due to twisted intestine. What a shocking news!

**Lord, please protect and heal grandpa and hwei. AMEN.**

Coco is his name

Visited grandma and grandpa today (dad's side) after work, and played with their new puppy, Coco who is only 9 weeks old. Active and naughty little pincher!

Grandma and grandpa seems ok but quite lonely at home, hence, a little puppy really brighten the house alot as they have something to do now, some noises at home now rather than starring at each other day and night.

Few pics of naughty little Coco.

Connie Talbot - White Christmas

Hohoho... I'm having Christmas mood when listening to her! Wonder if I can get her Christmas Album here in M'sia... hmmm

Human...

Sometimes I really wonder...... wonder if every 'human' have a mother and father.... wonder if every 'human' have their own family or kids........

What in the world that shape a 'human' that these 'human' are acting so 'INHUMAN'......

Take a look at this and you will know what I mean.... I'm definitely sad reading this.... "Lord, please save them! Only You could do miracles among them."

Skeletons In The Island **Pics from TV SMITH.**
The residents of Pulau Ketam sent some 300 stray dogs to exile on a remote island where the harsh conditions almost certainly guarantee a horrible death. Of the 300 dogs sent there, more than three-quarters are presumed to be already dead. I traveled to the island with Sabrina Yeap of Furry Friends Farm and managed to save only one dog on this reconnaissance trip. We did see several other starving and dying dogs along the mangrove shore.

I am mounting an urgent rescue mission to capture and transport the remaining survivors back to Sabrina's Furry Friends Farm animal shelter. But time is running out and there might be only skeletons and carcasses left to collect on our next trip. Boat hire is expensive there. It is a tourist area and it has already cost me a few hundred ringgit for boat hire alone, so far. The rescued dogs cannot be transported on the regular ferries.

Almost nobody will lift a finger to help without a fee. This is understandable. The locals are already shaking their heads in disbelief that there are outsiders who want to save the animals they so casually discarded. Instead of pointing fingers and antagonising them, we need their co-operation to help save the unfortunate creatures. In the process, we also hope to educate the islanders on better treatment of animals. It would be an impossible mission if we didn't win their hearts.

Pulau Ketam, 2nd May 2009: On Dire Straits. Friends Daniel Tang and Sabrina Yeap of Furry Friends Farm accompanied me on this reconnaissance trip to "Dog Island", off the Straits Of Malacca. Blogger Birds Talking (from Klang) who followed me on the earlier negotiation trip was unable to follow due to some sudden illness. We chartered a boat and as we approached the island, I was thinking we will only get to see bones and carcasses. Poisonous snakes abound on the water clogged island and the hostile island will eat any ill-prepared intruder alive. The bountiful mud and sand will swallow you when you walk on it as I was to find out later.

Pulau Ketam, 2nd May 2009: First Sighting. This was the first glimmer of hope.
Notice how scrawny it is. Yet he managed to wag his tail feebly upon seeing us.

Pulau Ketam, 2nd May 2009: Heartbreak. The sad face of this abandoned puppy sitting on a branch is heartbreaking and makes me and Sabrina all the more determined to go get every single remaining dog out from there.

Pulau Ketam, 2nd May 2009: Man-Made Tragedy. According to local fishermen, the starving animals resorted to cannibalism. They ate the carcasses of the fellow castaways who didn't survive. They were so desperate that they swam to nearby kelongs only to be chased away. Many weaker ones died in the water. We enlisted the help of a couple of Indonesian workers from a nearby kelong. They will also try to feed and trap the remaining dogs where possible. I am still formulating a proper method of delivering food to selected spots on this treacherous island. I hope to be able to engage a local mangrove expert to enter the interior of the island to estimate the number of remaining survivors and to identify the places to land. Because the island is relatively remote, the rescue mission is a logistical nightmare.

Pulau Ketam, 2nd May 2009: Dog's Eye View. As Sabrina clasped her hands in prayers, I too ended up needing some prayers. I was being sucked into hungry quicksand after getting off the boat to take this picture through the mangrove plants. After some struggling, I escaped with some cuts and bruises from the mangrove roots. My slight injuries are nothing compared to the unimaginable conditions and ordeal the dogs have to go through daily. The incident also serves to remind me of the difficult and dangerous mission ahead.

Pulau Ketam, 2nd May 2009: One Lucky Terrier. Our Indonesian helper managed to grab this dog after a nasty show-down.

Pulau Ketam, 2nd May 2009: Saved and Safe. The rescued dog in the safe hands of Sabrina and on the way to a vet for treatment.

But time is running out and there might be only skeletons and carcasses left to collect on our next trip.

Hubby and I was out since early morning till midnite. Meeting friends for lunch and dinner and went for HomeExpo in KLCC in the afternoon.

I was blessed with another round of German food again. Hubby brings me along to meet with Alex, Baljit and his wife for lunch. Alex is our German diver friend from Shell that we knew during our Tenggol trip and Baljit is from Shell too. Sadly, too shy to take pictures there, heheheheee.... but the food was ok.

Finally I get to taste Spätzle again!! But their style of cooking is abit different from the one I tasted back in Germany. I still miss the Spätzle from mama that I had last time... :) hope to really taste it again one day!

As for dinner, hubby and I met up with hubby's best friend, Chee Siang and wife, Anne at 1U where we had dinner at Italiannies.

And we went for last minute decision on midnite movie which hubby said he wish to watch.... X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

What a long and tired day!
