Me, you guys and my cats

It has been so long since my last post. I have been very busy lately and couldn’t find the time to write in here.

I received mails and posts from friends asking where I go and all, and that makes me realize that I have many good friends out there. I am touched, deeply, I don’t know what to say but thanks. It feels great to know that we are known, valued and cared.

Thinking of you guys made me find the time and strength to write today. It’s not that I am free today but I feel like I am abandoning you if I keep silence forever. I don’t wish to lose good friends like you guys, so here I am, writing to you all to say thanks and to let you guys know that I am fine. It makes me feel more than just fine to know that I have good friends out there even though we have never met.

I love you guys!

A little side dish: few photos taken in Malaysia International Cat show – me and my cats.

I am a very proud father to my 3 sons. All of them were in the top 3 during the cat show and as for the prize, guess what, I brought back 16 winner ribbons and lots and lots of cat food – enough for more than half a year stock.

Me and Leroy with the judge from Australia, Allan Raymond.

Trey and me. He pushes my chest hard and says "Lets go back home now, Im done showing my cute face to people!!"

Me and Billy with the judge from USA, Bob Zenda. I had to hold Billy tight because he is looking forward to scratch the lady and her Persian!

Greetings to Mr. Sun, Mr. Rain, Mr. Cloudy, Mr. Stormy, Miss Hot/Warm and Miss Cold

I had a fever 6 weeks ago due to the silly weather changed (raining in early morning, cloudy + cold in mid morning, hot blistering sun in the noon, raining again after that and the cycle repeats again).

After a bit better (not fully recovered) from fever, I don’t feel the same again. I had running nose come and go, cough, high temperature for a while and drops back … for days until today. From 6 weeks ago I have seen 3 doctors and planning to see ENT specialist tomorrow. I hate myself!

And I hate the weather! Why can’t you (the weather) just stay to 1? If you want to be cold, just be COLD or not, let it be HOT! And to Mr. Rain, can’t you just stop? The worst is if it is raining when the sun rise straight to your head. Can’t you guys talk to each other and choose one at a day? Why must everybody have to appear in the very same day?

You guys made me sick! I am tired of being sick and tired. Let me be happy and healthy, please, will you?

Oh.. Medical doctors must have loved you all so much.. Clinics and hospitals are full with people like me!

Damn, I must be sick talking to the weather!

I am not well today and went to see a doctor at 11am. Then I went to have lunch near my house. The restaurant owner and her helpers know me well (have been there for years).

I was eating when a very young girl (age 4 -5) passed by my table with a “teddy bear” (at first I thought) in her left hand and a big plastic container in her right hand. She then sat in the empty table not far from me and lifts up her “teddy bear”. To my shock, it was a kitten! She held the kitten as if like it was a dead thing!

She threw the cat into the plastic container and put it on the table. Not only she shakes the table, she also shakes and intimidates the poor kitten with her screaming! I know the shop owner for several years and I guess that Satan girl is her guest’s daughter.

I tried to control my anger but after a while, I just couldn’t. I raised my voice to the girl and say “Don’t do that to the cat!” I repeat 3 times and then the little girl cried and let go the kitten. I stared at the mother; she does nothing except hugging her precious little Satan.

After finish eating, I paid in the counter when I saw the poor kitten hiding under a table. The casher looks at me; she noticed my impression of sadness. To be frank, I feel pity for the kitten, I don’t know what will happen if I just go – the little Satan is still there!

I don’t know how to describe what was in my mind.. what i know, I just bend under the table and take the kitten home.

When I reached home, the three not so gentle giants were waiting staring at the tiny “mouse” in my hand. Only that I realized that the kitten is just the size of fat Trey’s thigh!

I keep the kitten in the 3 tier cage, and feed her with tuna. She is asleep now with 3 not so gentle giants curling outside the cage.

Seems like she has to live in the cage for about 2 or 3 months until she is able to “play rough” with the giants.

She is a girl and I named her “Jennifer Katherine Jay”. I will take her to the vet for vaccination, check-up and bath on this Saturday.

PS- My digital cam is broken, when I have fixed it, I will post her pic. God is always has a plan.. that is why I am not well today, and that is how I met her!

Photos below taken on the 13th May 2006 using my celphone (4 days after rescued). I know they are blur - blame me and not the celphone. I am bad in photography!

Mother's and Father's day

Mother’s Day (14th May 2006)
Father’s Day (18th June 2006)

I still can’t decide on what to buy for my mom for mother’s day next month except a card and a dinner. Could you guys give me an idea?

It goes the same with father’s day in a following month. Any idea to make them surprise and HAPPY?

My dad is 68 and my mom is 63. I love them so very much!

PS - I have been thinking of some funny presents for my dad - black bra and underwear or sexy lingerie and a playboy magazine ?

I dont dare to do dirty joke with my mom, I know her damn too well!

My Sons photos

I have not been posting for quite a while. Well, I am not a good and enthusiasm writer, I apologize for that.

Anyway, below are my sons photos. Billy and Leroy (Maine Coon cats) have grown bigger. Trey (Domestic Longhair) is as usual, a chubby boy who always gets full attention from judges and audiences.

I don't have Leroy and Billy’s photo during the cat show (Malaysia International CFA cat show in January 2006) except Trey’s. Anyway, Leroy and Billy’s photo were taken just one week before the show on 8th January 2006.

Enjoy!

My fat Trey with the judge, Donna Fuller

She plays "Superman" with Trey. Cute!

Year 2006 – Would it bring joy or sorrow?

Year 2006 just started to all of us but it begins to give me the feeling of anxious with things that had happened around me (past 3 months).

I do not believe in making “new year resolution” statements every year but this time, I think I should re-think what I have thought. It is not going to be a yearly habit but this “resolution” will stay in my mind for many many years.

My 2006 resolution that is going to stay until I die is “DON’T BREAK ANY RESOLUTIONS THAT I HAVE MADE”. (Those resolutions are at the end of this post)

In 1992, I promised to myself that I will not be falling in love ever again, but in 1995 I broke that. I ended up feeling deep shit when we broke up a year later.

In 1993, I promised to myself that I will be independent and not going to have to depend on anybody in my life but in 2004 I broke that. I ended up feeling sorry for myself in November 2005.

Since 1995, I always keep myself in low-profile (my promise) except at work and educations. I find it fun to challenge myself at work and studies but I don’t find it interesting having large group of friends.

In 1998, I promised to myself to keep away from having too many friends or actively socializing in societies or clubs but I broke it in early 2005. And today, 9^th January 2006, I promise to myself AGAIN that I will not be joining any clubs or societies and actively participation (mingle around members) because when you know too many people and start to expose yourself too much, you will end up feeling sick!

My dad used to say “There bound to be assholes in every company you are working for”. He was trying to tell me that wherever I go or work, I will be meeting “pain in the asses” kind of people. He was right!

October 2004 changed me. I met someone, a friend, a listener, a mentor and someone like a father to me. I will refer him as Kay. Knowing him made me thinking that I was wrong about keeping low profile life. I became very much dependent to Kay; I shared my problems, fun and sorrow. I listen to Kay’s ideas that I should walk out from my hiding place and be SOMEONE! I listened!
(Kay is a 68 year old man, a Professor Emeritus and a very respectful person in Education and Medical. I had to write this or else you guys would think I'm GAY, NO I am not!)

Year 2005 started with fun although I had some issues with my health and some sad moments but in overall, it was a fun year! I was happy with the brand new me, and I almost wanted to say that Year 2005 was the must awesome year in my life but things changed on November.

Kay, my mentor and the person I love to be with, fallen sick (cancer) and decided not to see me anymore (I don’t know why but he said he wants to be alone). While in the same time, the group of people I used to hangout with and found them fun (some sort of a club), start to “go against” me. For some reasons, I was labeled as a BAD boy. (The members have split into two groups. One group on my side while the other group is against me)

I have used to be with Kay to talk about everything and now, I do not have him to share my problems and joy with. I find it difficult to be independent again and I basically don’t know how to find solutions for myself. (Dammit, why must I be so dependent on him?)

Group of people in the clubs have now starting to make me feel very much annoying and I have decided to stop meeting them.

Although I have A and F as my buddies but I begin to feel alone again.

My mistakes actually, I shouldn’t be breaking my promises.

And so, even if it is a bit late, these are my resolution for my life AGAIN.

1. Be independent and don’t you ever depend on anybody in your life. If you want to cry, do it on your own. Hell with all those “shoulders to cry on”!
2. Study and work hard but be low profile.
3. Save a lot of money and go enjoy yourself.
4. Don’t join any societies/clubs or find yourself having too many friends.
5. A and F are good friends, care for them.
6. Girlfriend? Uhm.. no!
7. Love your cyber friends because even if in the real life you are just a cute cat, they wouldn’t know. (Kidding!)
   

On top of that, my lifetime resolution is “DON’T BREAK ANY RESOLUTIONS THAT I HAVE MADE”.
