My Life-story

Separation

                                                                                           

Rocky, the male brown puppy has been adopted. When I heard about the news yesterday, to be very truthful, I am not at the very least happy. Coz I know..it is time Rocky is leaving me.

Today is a rainy day. Somehow it makes me more upset than usual. I packed his kibbles, his favourite toy and a blanket which his sisters slept on for him..and we got ready to bring him to the vet for vaccination and microchipping at 2pm. Rocky screamed inside the clinic, and I could hear him outside while waiting. I guess the microchipping process hurts like hell for his little body. He likes to stay close to people when he's at home usually and he was like hugging my sister when they walked out of the consultation room. He slept while we were on the way to his new home..

We were greeted by 3 big barking, mongrel dogs which the adopter keeps. The place was more rundown than I expected, but the adopter is a friendly old man who loves dogs very much, so much so that each of his dog has a human single size bed of his own. I guess that was my very reassurance at that point of time. Rocky looks comfortable and after relieving himself, he walked around the house a bit and found a cosy spot where he had a nap. We (my sister and me) left with a heavy heart while he was still sleeping peacefully..and I just can't stop sobbing..It was raining heavily..

It's been long since I've been so upset..I hate the idea of separation.. and I can't imagine myself going through this for another 2 times..I miss Rocky very much..he is one of the sweetest dog I've ever come across..so quiet and loving..

Rocky..you might forget us and your sisters soon, but we will definitely remember you for the rest of our life. I wish you happiness always, till the last breath of your life..

Puppies and my shock

                

1 month has passed and the pups are 1 month and 3 days old! They are growing everyday and I can't believe I could have the chance to see and experience their growing part of their life! I could see them opening their eyes, hear their 1st bark and growl, see their 1st walk, their 1st milk tooth, 1st wagging of tail and how they ate their 1st semi-solid kibbles..haha..and of course the mess they always create with it..I could see them getting toilet-trained and wow! They are learning how to run now!

It is a really pleasant experience..but also an emotional one..as they are growing up everyday, it is clear that they will leave our place one day too..as they are not HDB approved and we already have Baby with us..We are emotionally attached to them in a way and really do wished that they could stay with us..but to actually have the best outcome for them, it would be most ideal to have a place solely for them, a place where they would be loved and could run freely and well...legally too..Really hope they could find this ideal place soon, with the help of ASD, who has agreed to help them..

Anyway..I received my handphone bill recently and to my horror, the bill came up to be $1.3k! OMG! Of course I've called to request for an itemised bill, which came to me in 141 thick pages..I think I am still in a state of shock man! Thanks to all those calls and voicemails (which forms bou 85% of the bill)...yaya..obviously I've cancelled my voicemail service now and forever... =S

8 puppies for adoption

Last 3 days had been a tiring one and i am sure there are a few more days ahead..

By some chance, we got a litter of pups who are, by   a twist of fate was sent to SPCA. The staffs at the centre told my sis that they will all be put down if no one wants them coz their chances of being adopted are very low as they are mongrels, stray dogs look alike. The pups were only 3 days old..

We are really upset. Mongrels are dogs too and they also deserves to live. They are also more loyal and intelligent and less prone to diseases, unlike pedigree dogs. This was confirmed by the vet whom certified that they are in good health too.

An sms was sent to our friends, asking for people to come forward to adopt them so that they can get a second chance. This sms was spam sent, flooding my phone line, message inbox and voicemail. In short, there are a few cateogories of people whom I've encountered and would like to share...

1) The good and kind who says they are willing to pay for the pups' boarding or sheltering, asking me (it's NOT me) not to put the pups down.

2) The genuine ones (a) who are really looking for a dog to adopt (b) who are hoping to get a pedigree to adopt

3) The Kaypohs who just want to know what breed the dog is, why we (NOT us) are putting them down and if we could send them a picture to keep

4) The ridiculous ones, ranging from asking if they could trade in their cats for the pups, asking me "One night how much?", to calling me at 3.45 am!

5) The angry ones, scolding me thru smses or voicemail using vulgarities and ill-mannered words blaming me for not answering my phone, or my phone is off and that my mailbox is full

6) The profit making one, looking forward to adopt the pups and sell them off for some $ (This cateogory is the worst amongest all, please remember that dogs have emotional feelings too)

Unknown to the 5th cateogory, my phone had been ringing every minute second and whenever I answer a call, a 2nd incoming call is coming in too. I am trying my best to answer the calls, but my phone's battery has it's own limitation too..

Anyway, 4 of the pups were adopted while they were in SPCA, we've got 4 of them out and 1 of them had found a place they can call home now so far.. No more stray dog's life, no more scraps as food, no more hit and run. Hopefully the remaining pups can find theirs soon too.

It's really comforting to know that there are many dog lovers out there, be it real or not, but the pups are growing every day through 2 hourly bottle feeding, lots of TLC and sleep and I guess that is my sister, her friends and my greatest accomplishment.

Thanks for all who had helped by forwarding, called or smsed in.. If you received this sms by any chance with my chinese name (Yufen)..please just ask around your friends, do not forward it anymore.. Thank you..

Many years later

Many years has passed...and April is coming again...i dread April...Someone had asked me to remember him in April...and i always did...

God doesnt love the animals

                  

Happy 2008..my very 1st blog for the new year..thought of writing something happy actually, wanted to share with all that i've saw Casper on the ASD website, waiting to be adopted ..but chanced upon the plight of a dog - Carmen..I really got affected by her tragic happenings, after being abandoned by her trusted, human friends...I just cant help but feel really ashamed of human beings..

Human beings are really the selfish lot of animals..and have taken for granted their intelligence and used it on other less intelligent animals..trapping, torturing, skinning and killing them..Maybe God only loves human beings...in the bible, there isnt much mentioning of God loving the animals..I used to think that maybe yes..that's why God wanted Noah to build the ark..but now when i think about it, i think God wanted the ark, so that the animals wont get extinct and that the future generations could see them...in the end..it benefits human beings...I really hate this fact..so..God doesnt love and doesnt want to save the animals too..

I am looking forward to armageddon..to see how this world will end on the hands of a selfish lot of animals - humans..

Unforgettable Night

22nd Dec 2007 was an unforgettable day for me..I had the most unbelievable BBQ ever..I wonder if God was punishing me as i did not accept an invitation to one of my friend's cg BBQ on the 20th..and God sent a heavy rain to me and my friends (and we are not even Noah)..

I was really disappointed and upset to see my family and friends drenched, especially to one of them..it actually somehow "broke" my heart when i saw this friend waiting for me in the rain. I will never forget that moment..Really very sorry..you know who..

My family and friends had been very nice, helping me to pack the stuffs and yet remained so energetic and encouraging despite the heavy downpour..While all of us was holding umbrellas and the canvas up high, i looked around and am so relieved coz the people around are mostly people close to me and i am so glad to have found them..Though physically i felt cold, mentally and emotionally i felt the warmth of kinship and friendship. Thanks for the unforgettable night..now i know..next time i will book a chalet, and we shall continue what we had missed out that night..hehe.. ^^

Accepting the way i am

Was chatting with someone just now who told me that he feels i am easily frustrated sometimes. I must admit that yup, i am easily irritated, with things that doesnt meet my standards, with people who do or say weird things, with buses that do not come on time and so on..I am not sure if i am the only one who gets easily frustrated or irritated, but hey..i hate it when i feel i am being judged..I need to clarify that:

1st, i do not need people to please or fawn on me

2nd, My close friends, i am absolutely sure, they know i am a short tempered person, that's y i wrote on my profile that i am only willing to meet people "who can accept the way i am"

3rd, I show all my emotions clearly, if i'm happy, i am happy. If i am not, then i am not. Simple and clear.

4th, though easily irritated, i am generally a happy person coz i dont keep my unhappiness and i forget them asap UNLESS its super irritating and unforgettable

5th, dont judge me, you are not God and you are not perfect too..I might have worse things about you that i am keeping to myself in case my words hurts

Lastly, to all those who cant accept the way i am, stay away from me as far as possible, i might be an atomic bomb that u cant stand..and oh well..i do not need you to judge me either!!

The irritating bus

Recently my one and only bus service to the nearest MRT station has decided to increase the number of "handicapped" buses and reduce the number of the "normal" buses..

I know i will sound very unsympathetic by saying that it will be getting onto my nerves sooner or later because......

The buses suitable for the handicapped have less seats, to be exact, about 28 seats only. For an only bus that serves my neighbourhood of more than 10 blocks to the station, i can understand why more people are fighting to get onto the bus first, especially the elderly. (My...they seems to have more energy to push and nudge people around in the morning!!) More people are standing and if there are selfish people who refuses to move in around, i can see myself becoming a sardine fish. The design of the bus also require us to go down 2 steps before we can reach the exit door,which i think is a potential hazard for everyone. And..if anyone has taken these buses before, you will also noticed that EVERYTIME the door closes, a loud (almost deafening sometimes), irritating and high pitched alarm will sound..well..maybe just there to add on our misery and irritation..I wonder what all these are for..

I feel that the chances of having a handicapped passenger on board is almost the chances of damaging the recurrent laryngeal nerve in a thyroidectomy..To be very truthful, up till now, i have yet to see one handicapped passenger at all! Having the chances of (many) elderly or pregnant lady around is definitely higher and therefore these buses with limited seats and extra steps seems to be just there to "wait for something to happen" so that people can create a topic, write in and complain again...

SBS should not have wasted resources and public monies on so many of these buses..just ask the government to give some transport allowance to the handicapped needy so that they can take a cab la..it will definitely be much more comfy for them, and for us too..or SBS should just increase these buses in areas where there will be more people who needs them..

The smart alec who suggested these buses...think of the general community more ba..right now..i can only hope and pray that the "handicapped" buses will be replaced soon...

Close encounter

Yesterday was an interesting day. I actually had a chance to have a close encounter with a Jack Russell dog..Sad to say, this 9 months old lovable friend, Casper,was abandoned by his owner (no reasons) and was passed on to her Blangadesh worker for 15 days..and this man realised that he has "no time" to accompany the dog and have decided to abandon him on the streets of Little India..Poor fella..really sad that he had such a close shave of being a stray..

We took Casper in for the night and will pass him over to ASD for adoption the very next morning. Casper proved to be a real time Jack Russell dog..he was SUPER, EXTREMELY and TREMENDOUSLY hyperactive..jumping and running all over the kitchen! To keep him occupied, we tried ways and means to entertain him, giving him plastic bottles with treats, bones and the final is the one that he loves...a tennis ball...He seems to enjoy a "throw and fetch" game and he was jumping all over the place..Having Baby barking at him doesnt help too and i must say..Baby had been a really really patient, good little girl..as she could stop barking when we asked her to..but hmm..i still did not managed to sleep well throughout the night..

I was the 1st to wake up in the morning..and sort of thought what would the kitchen be like in the morning..The scene presented actually horrified me! I've never seen such a mess before...there was faeces, newspaper and socks all over the place..and Casper gave me a real good jump, almost up to my shoulders with a wide grin to greet me! Needless to say, i gotta take a cab to work as i was running late after cleaning up some of the mess..My sister and mum just gotta wake up and clean up the entire place haha..and also prepare Casper for the ASD staffs.

I left for work before the staffs came and i really wish that Casper could meet a real good and loving family who can play a good "throw and fetch" game with him.

Jack Russell...what a close, sweet, fun and horrified experience..

My new found love

Recently had been rather busy..so busy that i've not much time to update my blog..coz I have found something that really got  me addicted, but its also irritating me..my PSP!!! ^^

Irritated is because i had spent so much time trying to find out how to upload my game into it, it's kinda wasting my time actually coz i have an assignment to submit, in fact it's tomorrow and i have some parts that still gotta be done. Luckily and hopefully, it will be my final and last assignment..and i can finally graduate!!! I do hope December can bring me some good news..otherwise......

Anyway, i've been busy reading forums on PSP games..and i bought a game the day before - Final Fantasy Tatics, which the forums had critics that was quite good and gave a score of 8.5/10..but i dont like it at all!! It's kinda stupid and slow..and my character gotta move around in grids..half of the time, i am waiting for my turn to fight..anyway..luckily the uncle at the game shop is willing to exchange another game for me...Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology.. VERY lucky!!! ^^

Now i am playing a game call: Brave Story?? Its quite nice and the graphics are quite good too. So if you are thinking of a game to play, i do recommend this game. Oh..my shoulders are aching.....better start my assignment...
