i guess after today i feel well , and a dear friend of mine told me today that her dog died peacefully in her sleep on Friday ... so sad ... dogs are very smart . i remember having a dog as a pet when i was a little girl ... the first we had was folly and Polly ... they were given to us by my dad's friend who breeds them .
we gave Polly away because she bit my sister .. it was quite close to the eye .. with folly , we never had any complaints from our neighbours ... he was a good and obedient pet .... he was a good guard dog and he somehow knew that we loved him to bits .. nice dog ... sadly enough .. one day folly did not come home . we found out the he had been hit by a drunk driver ... our world crashed .. we cried for days ... and days ... that was it no more dogs for the family ...
until one sunny day .. dad took us to the SPCA .... there , we found Benji ..he was huge alright .... he was toilet trained and he could eat half of the food that was laid on the dinner table !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we gave him back ... we could not handle him .................. OK with Benji being sent away now what ?
no dogs ,
no dogs,
no dogs ,
all was quiet ,
following year ,
no dogs ,
no dogs .............................. until.............
we moved to Brunei .....then we had gypsy .... cute gypsy .. smart , alert , she learned how to hunt for mice .. all thanks a stray cat who became firm friends with gypsy and who also shared the same basket with gypsy .. they slept and ate together !!!!!!
then it was time for us to go back to KL ... once again , with a heavy heart we left gypsy with a friend .............. this time i cried for days ..... hurt and angry i promised myself that no matter what , i don't want any more dogs ...
and now at 39 , i think I'd go for a beagle , or maybe a golden retriever ... Dalmatian .... who knows ...

my challenges
i am unwell .. sick , and i hate it but the best part is i get to recover during the weekend ... yesterday ... now this is not about me being sick at all . this was the conversation that i had with my dad .. good old dad.....
we were on our way to the clinic and suddenly , he turns around and tells me that after all these years , he has treated me differently from my sister ...
i was not surprised . to those of you out there who knows me will understand and i hope that to those of you who are close to me , please try to understand it too...
i asked my dad why and he told me that the challenges that i faced were so different from what my sister faced and yes each and everyone of us faced different challenges in life ... true to my word , true to what he said ... i still did not follow .. he said that i never took any short cuts in life and whatever mess that i got myself into , i'd find a way out and for that my parents were surprised ....
as to why i still did not follow as to what my dad was saying , he told me that since i was born with scars on half of my face , he and my mum got worried as to .. would i be excepted in society ? would i blend in ? would i have friends ?
over the years , as i grew into an adult .. i have come a long way ..i have accepted challenges in many forms and i accepted them because i knew that i could face them .. along the way it has dawn in my mind that, what if i could not do it ? i got scared too but my parents pushed on and on gently and positively ...
it was hard at first because there were just too many things going on in my mind but somehow i managed along the way .. i overcame whatever was in way ..to tell you the truth , as i look back in life , i just don't know how i got this far .
i am still plodding along but it's not as hard as when i first started out .. there are still many more stuff that i'd like to do and achieve ... plodding along and with more baby steps i'll get there, but it my own time .
