Living in my world- Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss the lips, sunsets to warm the heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for the eyes to see, friendships to brighten the days , faith so that we can believe, confidence for when in doubt, courage to know oneself, patience to accept the truth and... Love to complete my life.

Another 'Strange' dream
Menstruation
To dream of menstruation indicates that you are releasing your pent-up tension and worry. It signals an end to the difficult times and the beginning of relaxation. Some creative energyis being released or recognized. Alternatively, the dream means that you are denying your feminine side. If you are in menopause and dream that you are menstruating, then the dream signifies renewed vitality.

It's the end for one young life
Life isn’t always sunshine and butterflies. Sometimes you got to learn to smile through the pain.
I felt a little guilty knowing the fact that I never really wanted to take him in the first place.
Questioning myself if this is how it was going to end for all those that I had said I 'didn't want'.
Makes me question also on the four lives that have been in my care for over a month now.
The fact that he was not wanted initially, didn't stop me from giving him the best care just as his 'wanted' sibling was. He was already given free 1st vaccination by Dr Wong
Nothing short of a beautiful kitten if not more considering he had such long beautiful fur for a stray .
But It was obvious from the moment he was taken in that he might have health issues. He was much smaller than his sibling. Very bony for someone who had a huge appetite . One very 'noisy' kitten.
This morning he was laying around the bathroom door when I woke up. The sound of me distributing food didn't interest him a bit. He pooped hard black shit and crawled underneath the big stainless cage and lied there for sometime.
I checked he pooped again.
I checked again....saw his eyes gazing to 'somewhere far'.
I checked again...his eyes didn't blinked anymore. I knew he was gone.
...now I have one lesser kittens jumping around in the kitchen.
RIP my little one...rest assured in that little short life of yours with mama...you were loved.

GOODBYE JACKJACK
Last night while I went to clean their cage, JackJack didn't come to me for the daily 'saying sayang'. I didn't think much of it just thought he was well settled in the front basket that he didn't want to move.
This morning after I was shocked to find him lying near their pooping area . He looked weak. I tried to make him stand without much success,
Immediately I put him in the carrier and took him to the vet.
Monday morning find the clinic full. I managed to get number five but still had to wait for more than half an hour before the number was called.
Noting the problem Dr Wong asked me to leave him in their hands .
I bid him goodbye never expect that was my last goodbye.

"PIZZA"
This is a good read on my quest for reasons and why

ttp://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/weight-loss-in-
Today 'Pizza' lost her battle to stay alive. Although I still managed to pumped iron, multivitamins, water and some soft food down her throat this morning. I knew her body wouldn't withstand much longer. She was just skin and bones. Her gums shows the unmistakable sign of liver failure . It's been more than a month since she was last seen eating 'normally'.
Small portions which dwindled to none at all. Her last days were even helped by IV therapy
Goodbye Pizza....you were loved since the day we took you in.
The first picture of the 'pelarian' as we used to call them. Mama cat and her six kittens were rescued by SPCA member downtown in Singapore 's road. Suspected to be someone pet prior to them being let loose on the street. (Not really people friendly, skin problem plus full of lice)
She was one of the lucky not siamese cat that was allowed in the house.
I took her in because she was the smallest of the siblings and had difficulty fighting for her share of food. Compared to the 'pelarian' the indoor siamese were much slow eaters. Moreover it was easier for me to monitor her diet. She does eat much but weight gained was very minimal.
#buried at the backyard at 6pm
#She is the 4th of the sibling to cross over the rainbow bridge.

IT'S THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING
I had intended to rushed to complete my daily task before going off to attend the wedding ceremony of Coach Alex's son at St Mary;s church this morning.
Failing to do so - as I had laid in bed too long eventhough I woke up very early today.
I asked Tisha to go and send the black mama cat to the vet for her schedule liposuction on her ear.
While she did that I took care of what needed to be done back home.
We reached the church ten minutes before the event started.
Feeling awkward as everyone seems to be a stranger. Thankfully there was a few familiar faces from the bowling gang we could be comfortable with.
Beautiful service as with the bride and groom. Indeed a very obvious matched union . A beginning of a new chapter in the lives of these two as they journey onto their future as one.
We could see couch Alex was teary for most part of the service.
I somehow could relate to his feelings. A little sentimental moment for most parents on the part where one would 'loose' a son or daughter . Reminiscing on yesteryears when they were still so young and dependant ....and now seeing them ready to 'fly the nest'. Oh the pain....the pain
They held a simple reception after the ceremony .
On the way home we stopped at the bank and also to the new eatery place that was widely advertised on FB for the food.
We were still full so we only try their dessert .
Went to collect the black mama cat before coming home.
It is then that I realised that Grey had quietly fall into that forever state of sleeping.
I felt relief that his ending didn't involve him screaming in pain although as with all my beloved fur kids, I still feel the pain in my heart.
I bury him together with the four ophan kittens I fostered that didn't survive.
I look and bid my last farewell. You were loved I would always tell them.
Indeed he was. From the day I took him in (April fool day in 2012) to his last day on earth.

REFLECTION OF MY FEELING ON LIFE ....TODAY
I didn't need to elaborate more on this as he nailed it to the core with this posting on his whatsup account just days ago before tragically he was killed in a helicopter accident yesterday.
Hard to accept but age is not just a number anymore....

AND THEN IT IS WINTER
You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.
But, here it is... the "back nine" of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?
I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that "I was only on the first hole" and the "back nine" was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.
But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting gray...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd become.
Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!
And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though I'm on the "back nine", and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...it's over. A new adventure will begin! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.
So, if you're not on the "back nine" yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you're on the "back nine" or not!
You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!
"Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one. LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY ! HAVE A GREAT DAY Remember "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. LIVE HAPPY IN 2015!
LASTLY, CONSIDER THIS: ~Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect! ~Going out is good.. Coming home is better! ~You forget names.... But it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!! ~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything.... especially golf. ~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore. ~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep". ~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.. ~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"..." ??? ~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere. ~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!! ~What used to be freckles are now liver spots. ~Everybody whispers. ~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear. ~~~But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!
Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!! It's Not What You Gather, But
What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.
TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY
