Towards a New Frontier

News: Friendster testimonials added into my “About” page. Have fun reading them and knowing more about me XD

Today, something terrible happened. My little dog had been suffering with a big lump on her back left leg for quite some time already. Previously we asked a vet to come, but he could not cure her. His injection only make the lump bigger.

Today, another vet came. He diagnosed her to have bone cancer. There was nothing can be done already. To lessen her suffering, the vet suggested to “put her to sleep”. My mum agreed.

After I came back and knew this fact. I was thunderous! I just could not believe it at first. But as my mum was telling me the news, I sensed her in crying voice. I knew it was true. I wanted to scold her at first for letting her go like that. But I knew I just couldn’t blame her. I knew she loved her also. I knew she wouldn’t want it like that also.

I went back into my room to cry. I wouldn’t want to worsen my mum’s already saddened heart.

Even though it’s just a few hours passed, I missed Chappi a lot….. My heart sores like there’s no tomorrow.

Every year, on the 17th of July, I declare it as my personal holiday. A day of remembrance for my cute and pretty little Chappi. Thank you for coming into my life.

I had watched you grow from first day of your birth. From such a little pup to a big (and a little fat) pretty dog. You played with me, you bullied me (and I also bullied you sometimes), you listened to my rants and you cheered me up always. I love to pat you by the head and laughed at you when you were always scared by the stupid washing machine. I still remember how much you were frightened during Chinese New Year when fire crackers were all around and I had to go to the back to comfort you. I still remember when you were a pup, you got fever and my mum had to feed you with that awful antibiotic. I still remember how disgusting it was the dead mouse that you so proudly showed us after you killed it. I still remember you so clearly in my heart and you will stay that way. Sorry that I had not tell you how much I loved you even until today.. And now I have no more chance..

Although you were just a pet, but somehow, you are much much important to me than many many other human beings in my life.

I now announce: 17 July 2008, the day an important character left me and may God bless you always….

Prim3: A small post before a major big one coming up. Here goes:

“This is a true story. Last week was my 40th birthday and I really didn’t feel like waking up that morning. I managed to pull myself together and go downstairs for breakfast, hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, “Happy Birthday!”, and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone “Happy Birthday.” I thought… Well, that’s marriage for you, but the kids… They will remember.

My kids came trampling down the stairs to breakfast, ate their breakfast, and didn’t say a word to me. So when I made it out of the house and started for work, I felt pretty dumpy and despondent.

As I walked into my office, my secretary Joanne said, “Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday!” It felt a bit better knowing that at least someone remembered. I worked in a zombie like fashion until about one o’clock, when Joanne knocked on my door and said, “You know, it’s such a beautiful day outside, and it’s your Birthday, why don’t we go out for lunch, just you and me.” I said, “Thanks, Joanne, that’s the best thing I’ve heard all day. Let’s go!”

We went to lunch but not where we’d normally go. Instead she took me to a quiet bistro with a private table. We had a couple of mixed drinks and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Joanne said, “You know, It’s such a beautiful day… We don’t have to go right back to the office, do we?” I replied with “I suppose not. What do you have in mind?” She said, “Let’s go to my apartment, it’s just around the corner.”

After arriving at her apartment, Joanne turned to me and said, “Boss if you don’t mind, I’m goinna to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I’ll be right back.” “Ok.” I nervously replied. She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake…

Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends, and co-workers, all singing “Happy Birthday”.

And I just sat there…

On the couch…

Naked.”

Was pretty occupied recently, watching the J-Drama “Proposal Daisakusen”. It’s about:

I don’t really watch J-Drama. I got to know about this one from my local TV which is airing it. I loved the plot and continued to watch. After watching, I am certain this is the most touching drama I had ever even watched. Tears would flow out from my eyes through out every episode. The main actor and actress have this chemistry between them. They are very matched. Even the theme song seems to match the drama a lot. Not that I like the cowardly self the main actor was, but I appreciate the effort he eventually put in to correct the mistakes that he did. The way he tried so hard to win back the girl’s heart made me feel ashamed.

P/s: A pretty emotional post. Perhaps I will write a better review in the future..
