Work.. Puasa.. Work.. Raya.. Work & Work!


Ermm.. Nothing much to say actually.. Since I've been kinda busy lately at the office and basically the will to write a blog is not really there, so.. here goes.. Hehehe...

Firstly, let's just say that I don't really fancy Hari Raya that much comparing to like 10 years ago.. Why? Well, as you grow older, the excitement of the Raya is not there really. It used to be the term 'dapat duit raya' previously, but now.. It's 'bagi duit raya' for me.. Hahahaha.. For me, what matters most is that everybody was there on that pagi raya. Then, my raya will only lasted for half day, where the rest of the day I spent it on my room.. Sleeping.. Hahahaha..

Me and my beautiful nieces

I'm not that much of a 'Jalan-jalan pergi Raya' type of person.. But the most important thing and the much awaited thing on the first morning of Raya is to have Teh Tarik after Raya Prayer. Hehehehe.. Ok, back to Raya.. Not that I don't want to, but as I say.. I would choose to sleep rather than going to people's house on 1st day raya.. Let them spend their raya first.. Then baru boleh kacau2.. Hahahah..

Anyway, I didn't apply for leave during the raya festival. Why should I? I have nothing to do at home anyway, so might as well I work. Even though noithing much to be done.. Hehehe.. So, as I am updating my blog today, not that much that I can do at the office. Just wasting my time and downloading stuffs. Well, if there's any thing new to be put here, I will force myself to do it.. Till then... Adios!

p/s: Oppss.. Forgot about Puasa.. My puasa went well every year.. As usual.. Hahaha..

Nite of Soulful Stars..


Last saturday, while watching my favorite cartoon (Crayon Sinchan) on NTV7, an advertisement of Live Recordings called Niter of Soulful Stars. What really caught my attention is the artistes that involved in the program. Dayang Nurfaizah (who doesn't know her), Adibah Noor (a singer with a very beautiful voice), Tompi (indonesian singer) and Harvey Malaihollo (my all time favorite). Harvey? Am I dreaming? So, to reconfirm the news, I waited for the advertisement to be shown again. Yesss! It's confirmed! Harvey is on the list! The recording will be on September 12, 6.00pm at Studio 1 NTV7.

So, looking forward to it, on that day, we went to NTV7 at Glenmarie Shah Alam. Not a lot of people there when we got there. Maybe the name Harvey Malaihollo and Tompi are not famous among youngsters today. After we reached to our seat in Studio 1, the first to come out is Dayang. Her voice is superb. Tompi appeared next with a groovy song. Although I've never heard him sings before, I kinda like his voice.

Adibah Noor then takes the stage with her song bout her cat, Putih. I wonder if it's ok to compose a song for my kids.. Heheheh.. I'll keep that in mind. Then, Harvey takes the mic. I still can't believe that finally get the chance to see him perform live. A duet with Adibah Noor for the tunes Begitulah Cinta was awesome! But would it be good to have Sheila? Hehehe.. He sang September Pagi, Begitulah Cinta (Duet with Adibah Noor), Jerat, Bisikan Mesra and Pelabuhan Cinta.

The show lasted for one and half hour before the four of them sang You Got A Friend together. The crowd went wild! I managed to snap up some photos taken from the recordings. And, I took a photo with Harvey. Altough didn't managed to get my pictures taken with the other performers, I'm thankful that finally I watched Harvey performed. Who knows, this might be the first and the last for me. Hehehe.. Anyway, some of the photos are here. Enjoy! Thumbs up for NTV7 for their effort!

p/s: Thank you sayang.. Muahs!

Another Loss in The Family


After 2 months Sid left us, I still can't accept the fact that he's not around anymore. The only thing left is his collar and pendant with his name craved on it. On Friday, September 1st, 2006, another shocking things happened. Troy left us for good. It was so sudden and until now, I still haven't found the cause of it.

Two days before, Troy was like the other cats in the house. Running around and attacking the other cats. Hercules usually will be his play buddy. But, when Alexander joins the family, Troy mekes him the new target. On 1st September, after work, we planned to go and catch a movie. But, at some point, the feel to go to catch movie is not there. So, we decided to head home instead.


Troy - In Loving Memory..

Upon arriving home, I looked for Troy. He was lying in the bed that we bought for Sid. I panicked. He never did that. I lift him up and took him to the sofa. He was so weak. We planned to take him to the vet on the next day (Saturday). But, Troy knows that he can't hold any longer. He tried to get away from me but since he's so weak, he couldn't do it. I held him close in my arms and without notice, I was in tears. I just can't stand looking at him struggling. I can't do anything. Then, Troy threw up some kind of yellow thingy and then it was all over. He left us forever. To be frank, YES.. I cried like hell that night. Only God knows how I feel.

The next day we took Troy to Melawati to buried him next to Sid. I kept thinking about him. Troy was a very unique cat. He was the only cat to suck on earlobe. I really miss him. Really, really miss him. The house is not the same as before. No more Troy running around, playing at my feet, climbing to target the earlobe. I just hope that what we did for him is the best and hope that he enjoyed it. Now I know that he is up there, somewhere, with Sidney and the little newborns that we could not save. I'm sorry Troy if we've mistreated you. You will always be our special kid.


Love Always.. Abah & Ayah

Alexander: The new member in the family

Wow.. So long since i last wrote. Hehehe.. Kinda have nothing much to say though.. A lot happened.. I lost my favorite cat.. Got more cats.. Hehehe.. Kinda attached to having lots of cats in the house.. Seing them running around.. Playing with each other.. It makes me happy..

So, where should i start.. Hmm.. Well, the biggest thing is that Sidney left us for good. I still felt his presence until today. Everytime I think about him, feel like crying. But can't stop it from happening. I did cried once when looking at his photos. R.I.P Sidney. I miss you..

So, now I have 5 cats in the house. Gabrielle, Isabelle, Troy, Hercules and the latest addition, Alexander. Adopted last friday from PAWS, at first he was a little scared. Maybe because of the change of environment. Took him home and as expected, Troy and Hercules comes barging in to meet the new kid. Alexander spent the first night under the sofa. Maybe he's scared. Troy is a bit harsh on him. However, Hercules shows signs of a good brother. He and Alexander get along well. They even run around and play together. I guess it runs in the family. When Hercules came, Troy acted the same way.

Gabrielle got a new nickname. 'Gabbeyonce'.. Why? Well, abah thinks that her butt is so big like Beyonce Knowles. Hahahaha.. Kinda true though.. Well, got some photos of them here. Only lately they spent most of the time sleeping. Resting during the day and running around the house at night. Isabelle as usual, will spend her day sleeping on the bed and eat whenever she's hungry. Not seen her running around the house with the others though. But, maybe she's like that. Anti-social. Hehehehe.. All of them are the greatest. They're the joy of my life...
Gab'Beyonce', Troy doing his 'thingy' & Super-shy Isabelle

Hercules napping & The new guy: Alexander

Well, my daily routine will be work, work, work. But looking forward to be home early to be with the kids.. Every friday, it's PAWS visiting time. And on saturday, if time allows, we will go to Plaza Damas at Sri Hartamas to look at the IPR activity where they give away cats for adoption. One thing I can say, I'm hooked on cats..

Rest in Peace Sidney..


Me & Sidney

It's been a while since I updated the blog. Well, nothing much to put here actually. Anyway, yesterday, 28th June 2006 marks the saddest day of my life. The love of my life, Sidney my cat, passed away. He suffered form Feline Infectious Peritonitis( FIP) and Leukemia and there's nothing much that we can do about it. I was shocked but I knew that this day will come.

Sidney was born on December 2005. We adopted him from SPCA on April 2006. Having a first glance at him, we fell in love. The charm, the cute adorable look, the behavior.. It totally struck us that we wanted to take him home. For what I can say, Sidney is a very good cat. He is one obedient cat. There's nothing wrong with him to adjust himself with the new home. I am so happy at that time. It has been the most happiest day in my life.. One thing about Sidney is that he likes to follow wherever I go around the house. Even if while he's sleeping, a slight movement will wake him up. I'm going to miss that moment, having him following me wherever I go.
Sidney, or Sid as we used to call him by the short name, is a bit shy with other people though.. He doesn't like those who he just met. This happened when my nieces come over to our place. Sid will either play dead or hiding behind the television. Somehow, it'll all changed when they left. Maybe he felt uncomfortable with other people, who knows.. In order to makes him happy, we've adopted another cat. A female cat called Gabrielle or Gabby. Things are ok between them.
When we heard that he is infected with Feline Infectious Peritonitis( FIP) and Leukemia, I am speechless. A young cat, not even a year old, have been infected with the two killer diseases. As the week goes by, Sid is getting thinner, didn't move much and didn't even have the appetite to eat. We were so worried that we've decided to do something. At least to make him eat. Unhappy with the news from the vet that we took Sidney earlier, we took him to another vet in Danau Kota. It was introduced by Shahrina. Apparently, we were told the same thing. There were only tears to show our sadness. The vet suggested to put him to sleep to end his suffering. But, having to think about it, we don't have the guts to do it as we love him very much.
Then, we have decided to move Sid from our place to another home in Melawati. At least to prevent it from affecting Gabby. Days goes by, with a good care, there's a slight change in Sid. But, the viruses, which totally shut down the immune system, it didn't last long. Sid was in critical condition one fine Saturday. We rushed back to Melawati and visited him.
On the 28th June 2006, Sid left us. I think maybe his time has come. I regret that he didn't live long. I'm so sorry that he suffered but I hope that he have the care and the attention that he deserved. I hope we have given him the life he wanted. Now, I can't stop thinking about him. He is and will aways be remembered. I hope he has a good life in the other world. Sidney, thank you for giving us the joy and happiness. You will always be here in our heart..
-Rest in Peace-

Welcome to the family, Gabrielle..

Well, since one is never enough.. And since Sid is left alone in the house while we're working.. We've decided to adopt another cat. So, last sunday (28th May, 2006), we went to SPCA to just take a look at the cats. Well, we brought Sid along to meet him with his caretaker. So, as we were looking around.. Then there was this cat that caught my attention. A mix persian cat at the corner cage. So cute and so pretty, she was called Manja. After some really tough decison-making moments, we've adopted Manja from SPCA. On the way back, we decided to give her a new name. So, that is when Gabrielle pops up! Or, in short form, Gabby. Welcome to the family, Gabby!

Do cats take time to mingle around and get to know each other? Hmmm.. Sid and Gabby do have some hissing (or what u call it these days, but i think it's more into hissing) between them but didn't fight. That's a relief. At least they will need more time to get to know each other. Anyway, I love both Sid and Gabby! Hehehehe..

Here's a photo of Sid and Gabby

New member in the family

Hello there..

Last week was the greatest of all. Adopted a cat from SPCA, called Sid (name taken from the character in Ice Age and Ice Age 2). Six months old Sid joined the family. He's damn cute. Kinda makes me feel happy everytime with him. The best thing is, Sid will stay at home while we went to work. At first, I thought that it's dangerous to leave your pet unattended at home. He doesn't like to be kept in the cage. But when I got back, everything is ok. He will be there to wait for my return. He's the greatest. Sooo manja la.. Hehehhe..

Anyway, got a few photos of Sid. Just can't stop looking at him. It's a great relief to just look at his cute face and all my problems fade away.. You might never know that cats can really help release your stress. I love cats! Hehehe.. And I love u very much 'SAYANG'.... Muahs! Muahs! Muahs! Muahs!
