QUOTE OF THE DAY

"It's always the people that know you the least, that judge you the most."

One thing that we must all come to terms with when dealing with life is knowing that there will always be those who will judge us, even if they know nothing about us. It truthfully is the people that know us the least are sometimes the people that may judge us the most.

We must also learn to accept that despite being judged by others, they matter not in the least bit, because no one is perfect. No one will ever be perfect enough to judge anyone else, and therefore the only judgment we should ever worry about is the judgment of our God.

Never live life in fear of disappointing others, because no matter what you do by the end of your life you will have been a disappointment to at least one person, and many people will have been a disappointment to you.

Make your life your own, by being you in every circumstance. Make your own name and your own decisions!

LAZY DAY

It's another lazy day for me prior to my trip tomorrow.
 This morning  Andrew left very early. . Before 6am actually.
As he said he was attending a workshop in one the hotel in town. He wanted to avoid the 'office hours' traffic jam I supposed.

Unlike yesterday, I didn't fall back to sleep.  I really wanted too since I didn't planned on doing anything much today.

After doing a few chores ( floor sweeping/washing cloths...that's about it here),
I went online for most of the time.

The wallpaper guys came to finish the remaining kitchen wall just as I got back from the supermarket.
Another surprise awaits outside the door. Although there were four guys around for the wall work, none of them dare to get rid of a tiny rat snake that got stuck in a tiny crack in the pipe.

I was glad that none of them were brave enough. There could be a 'killer' among them .
I know it was a snake but they too have their reason to be here. I say this snake was probably more scared of us than us of him.


I poked it with a stick to make it move but he was obviously stuck. He must have eaten something to make him....bigger?
After a few attempts I managed to set him free to the bushes area at the back of the apartment.

BLINKY'S TURN

With Montana's surgery that went so well gives me such confidence with Blinly's to go as well.
I had prepared him for the surgery twelve hours earlier as which was recomended. I felt so guilty looking at his 'puppy face' asking to be let out from the pent I had put him in. The guilt feeling was much felt because he was such a skinny boy and I had so much difficulty in making him eat all the time.
My confidence had gotten lesser by the time we reached the clinic.   In my mind, somthing could still go 'wrong' . We totally refused to leave him there when the staff said we could.  He had meant for us to  leave Blinky there and only to return a few hours later to collect him when he was done.
I really didn't want to leave his site at all. He was so frightened with his surroundings.
The fact that he can't see much makes it necessary for me to calm him with my voice.

Same sight as Montana....he's ready

He looked as 'dead' as Montana had when they took him to the operating table and away from me.
It was half an hour later before he emerges from there but  was already struggling to wake up.
Phewwwww. . that was a good sight compared to Montana who was only gasping  once in every minute before breathing normally.

Those are the target

gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We took him home straight because he was bleading quite much by now.
Once home, a cone collar was put on and he was put away in the play pent.

Back home in confinement area

It was only in the late afternoon that he finally felt the pain of the operation or loosing his 'doghood'. He was whining all the time and was only sleeping in our embrace. On his own he would sleep standing up. Unlike Montana who was well and running about within the day, Blinky was sore for a few days.

Comfort and love in Jeff's arms 

Sleeping on his own when no one is free to carry him

MADE IN MALAYSIA

I copied and pasted this images from a friend's posting for laughs on how we Malaysian  'read' ourselves through the three largest racial group found here.



The Chinese

The Indians

The Malays

Malaysian but not catogarised under any of these races ...I'm none of the above  - thou not actually guarantee any better than any of these :)

FIRST IMPRESSION

I missed again watching the boys sing but I got to watch the girls even with few distractions on the night it aired.
I saw and heard a few that did very well but I only made my pick  today after I watched the rerun of the boy's show.
My six pick based on their top 24 performances.....Elise Testone, Hollie Cavanagh, Jessica Sanchez,  Skylar Laine  ,    Joshua Ledet   ,  DeAndre Brackensick ....
Actually it was hard to name names as everyone was so equaly very good.
I would think from this forth it'll be more of a popularity contest amongs americans.
      







Still...I think this year is going to be a girl's year..BUT... . this is only my preliminary selection and as with every year...my vote... tidak kena pakai :)

Papa Montana's cut

I had made the much needed move of going to the veterinary clinic just two days ago and had finally got a 'slot' today for  the 'cut' that would never make Montana a papa again.
With a harem of six 'ladies' it was a real  heaven for this sole male hunk for the past four years or so.
He's been having so much 'fun' that there was never in a year that there was no new addition to his clan.
Mama Tay the alfa female is so fertile that she has to date never missed a single cycle without getting pregnant.
The only consolation for this mama would be that she had had single pup on many deliveries.
But beside her there are two other female, namely Sugar and JellyBean  that have also been 'busy'.  Not to forget  Chalaga who is also coming to that stage now .
I had  gone to the stage of caging Montana away from the females  since playing by sight on who and who was on heat has resulted in many unwanted 'accidents'.

This minor operation worries me most because Montana was an 'active' older dog and the fact that although he's been getting his heartworm tablets,  he has not been getting his yearly vaccination for the past few years .
Also this was to be my first neutering for a dog at the Goverment veterinary clinic. Past encounters with them were always on cats.
I have heard of stories too of how they can't revive the dogs once they have been sedated resulting the dog to die in the end many times .
This was the main reason why I did not opt to get it done there earlier after the only private vet I went to ceases to do anymore spaying or neutering.
...these are my prized babies...I don't want them dead!.

After made to 'puasa' for eighteen hours , tied and held down, he must be scared for his life

 After the opertion..... he looked so dead . And for a moment there I thought he was too until he started gasping for air.

Few minutes after regaining consciousness....still unable to control the tounge

Surprise surprise.... mingling around with his females few hours later...he's such a strong boy showing as if nothing happened. .. or missing ;)

MACAROONS!!!!!!!!!!!

Yona has been 'bugging' me for the las few months to make an attempt on this.
