My early celebration of Valentine's!

P1014990

This advertisement was sent to my email weeks before. Caught my attention immediately! This super adorable baby Sharpei reminds me of Mumble. :'(

Here's the thing. If you truly love your dog, don't breed your female dog if she is older than 3 years old. I can tell you that many breeders out there will strongly disagree with me. Undeniably that some of them make money by selling puppies. Regardless puppies with birth certificate or without. It's admittedly that many dog owners breed their dog without the knowledge to take care both the mother and puppies. Mumble was her mother's third or forth birth. Apparently the mother wasn't in good condition. Sick mom give birth to sick puppies. Mumble was born with sickness but we never hesitated to bring her home, love her and take care of her. She constantly visit the vet and we fed her with pills; Thought she'll be fine, she gone after 4 years with us due to kidney failure. :'(

I never intended to breed my dog. Malinois and Malamute puppies will definitely make you a richer person. These breeds are considered rare breeds in our country, the champion is Tibetan Mastiff. Why not just breed them? The catch is, they are hard to be kept in a normal family. Malinois is fierce thou they're intelligent. The owner must show an impression he/she is the master thus Malinois shall obey them, otherwise they aren't trained well. Malamute is still new to our environment. Frankly speaking, Gambit had a skin disease when she was still a puppy. Unlike Siberian Husky, she couldn't take the hot weather. It took me extra concentration and extreme care before she was healed from the disease. She is now a happy adult dog with an air-conditioner room and space for activity.

Adoption Drive.

FYI, my boyfriend and I are dog lovers. Both our families have family dogs. I may over-eagerly about dogs but it's because dog is the most adorable creature! I was once received a negative comment stated that I am a hypocrite that I fancy pure breeds. I must emphasized that I have dogs for all my life and they are all mongrels! I feed the stray dogs that wandering at the vacation lot behind my boyfriend's studio; make donation to shelters and buried dead dogs and cats that ran down by stupid cars. Can you do that? Don't simply point your dirty finger at me if you don't exactly know who I am.

Anyway, put that aside.

Boyfriend and I celebrated our Valentine by bringing our furkids to an outing at JayaOne, organized by pet-lover companies, such as Petsters and SPCA Selangor.

Painting.

Various booths were set up. Actually didn't have the opportunity to check out those booths as we have our furkids on leash. Not saying that my dogs will misbehaved but some people were afraid of their size and sharp teeth. Golden Retriever and Husky are the most welcomed dogs there, thou my Gambit looks like one but since Roche and Gambit are a pair, might as well we keep my furkids away from them.

Eukanuba.

Tips : Feed your furkids with home-made dog food. Especially dogs with skin disease or appetite issue. Cook rice, mixed with chopped carrot, meat, few teaspoon of sugar and fish oils. Commonly dogs are allergic to chicken meat, so it's preferable to replace it with lamb or turkey meat. As dog treats, you can feed them with biscuits dip with peanut butter. Alternatively, get Lamb & Rice flavor for premium dog food to save your time. Don't ever feed your dogs with chocolate. Sometimes I give them vanilla flavored ice cream and cheesed hot dog as treats. Consistently check their nose. It's presumably that your furkids are unwell if their nose is dried; if too wet, they might having flu. Most importantly, observe their recent activity/behavior. For example, bite your shoes or disobey your commands. If they are acting weird, it's the sign/hint that they are not feeling well. Take note of all these if you have a dog at home.

Roche, The Belgium.

The twins (Joker and Penguin, the ultimate Pug twins) are left at home. No worries as they weren't home alone, I had my mom to babysit them for the whole afternoon. It was our first outing without the twins. I assumed that less large breeds will be seen, considering JayaOne is located in an office-area and there aren't a field for activity. Apparently, I was wrong!

There was a designated off-leash session. You can bring your dog into the playground, any amount of donation per entry. I was worried at first that other dogs might trigger a fight but I was wrong again! Most of them were well-behaved! Responsible owner should make sure that their dogs are trained and healthy.

P1014961
Playground.

Roche made me so proud that she was friendly to other dogs! She is the kind of dog that protective and fierce. On that particular day, she able to socialize with other dogs, although there were few younger dog aggressively chewed her ears and pulled her toys, she calmly turn around and pulled her toys back without hurting the dogs.

P1014955
Socializing.

If you are a dog lover, you should have come!

P1014963
Can you be my Valentine?

I wasn't kidding. This male dog fall in love at the first sight. #truestory He adored Roche so much and willingly to follow her to everywhere. It was so obvious that the owner of the dog commanded his dog to stop doing it as Roche was started to get annoyed. I would say it's a sexual harassment. #likethatalsocan Roche was trying to be nice at first, she roared giving him warning but this male dog never stopped licking her lips and following her, she bit him on his nose, the dog was shocked and fumbled! The owner laughed and teased his dog, while I was worried that he might injured. Luckily nothing happened to the dog's nose, Roche did control her biting strength. And no, this male dog continuously annoyed Roche after the incident. #wtf

Siberian Husky!

P1014983
Can we make friends?

This is an awesome dog! She was off leash all the time but never intended to walk around, but stay at the corner, observing other dogs playing in the playground. Her saliva drooled looking at the ice cream I was feeding my furkids, how cute can she be? I fed her few bites at last. Did not buy a cone for her, not because I was stingy but worried that she might get diarrhea after that.

P1014981
May I have the ice cream, please?

We had a super awesome outing! Before we left the place, we had a photo session together!

P1014989
Spot me?

Take note to all the dog owners out there!

I have no idea why local named this day as Chap Goh Meh; when I was younger, as far as I could remembered, the elderly called the 15th day of Chinese New Year as Yuan Xiao Jie, in Chinese is 元宵节。During my primary, my school organized Lantern Festival during Chinese New Year celebration and most of the student will walk around the school and the neighborhood in a big group, carrying a lantern.

It did confused me with the Mid-autumn Festival. I think both the festival have lantern but different meaning of celebration. Apparently, I am a grown up adult, it would be super awkward if I join primary students, carrying a lantern and walk the neighborhood with them. So, for my very first time, friends and I visited the well-known temple during Chap Goh Meh!

Donated RM10 for this sky lantern.

Differently from my previous visit, this time I did not donate bricks, I bought a sky lantern instead. There were many colors to choose from but I chose yellow instead. It's my kiasu decision, I wanted my lantern to be the most outstanding lantern in the sky so that the God will notice mine first. #likethatalsocan

All wishes written in a beautiful hand writing of mine, thank you.

The younger Chan followed us to the temple as well. We told him that this Chap Goh Meh is special as the Chinese Valentine falls on the same day. He then asked me if he could ask a girl to be his Chap Goh Meh instead of asking Would you be my Valentine? Faint. #likethatalsocan

for our acting skills. At least better than the Twilight actress #justkidding #insiderjoke It was so real and natural that I think everyone of us deserve an award! I'm not going after Best Actress Award but I don't mind getting the Director Award #justsaying.

Finally after 184599347837 days, this is the birthday surprise post i've promised to all of you!

I had one for my last year's celebration. It was a major success that we all got his pawned! Anyways, today is the Valentine's Day, Happy V-Day to you!

#epicfail that my activity of #ValentinesDay is to choose proposal ring on behalf of my male friend. This is the second time for me to choose a proposal ring in case you're wondering.

Put that aside.

Frankly speaking, do you know how freaking hard to hide the plan from him? Collaboration between his family, my family and our friends is so risky that someone might accidentally spill the beans! I'd been planning these a week before, but only informed them about it one day before. Just in case. I know, I'm very careful.

I have been knowing him almost a decade, he is smart and sometimes he could read our minds. Past experience have taught me that, everyone's mouth must be sealed, insured and nobody releases any information related to "cake", "birthday", "party", "surprise", "overtime", "pub", even "Lamborghini" to him.

To give him a surprise, we pretended that nobody is interested to celebrate his birthday as the birthday falls on the 9th day of Chinese New Year. His mom informed him that they were planning to have a simple dinner at a random Chinese restaurant in town.

On the exact day, I've been out of town the whole day until I showed up about an hour before the 'dinner'. He, in a super moody way told me that the family is bringing him for a simple dinner, that's it. I told him that I need to fetch the sister first and will be at the restaurant.

Beforehand, I need his mother to make up a story telling him that they both need to fetch the younger brother at OverTime before heading to the Chinese Restaurant. He believed! The mother stopped the car about a block before the OverTime and asked him to look for the brother in the pub as the phone wasn't answered by the younger brother.

And he finally turned up at the entrance!






Every work paid off! Got a big smile on his face!

Not forgetting to mention that, from all the cakes I've bought and ate, nothing is as good as the cake I've bought this time! This was the first time I have my guests to eat at least 2 slices of cake! Myself not a big fan of cake but this cake is seriously taste so good and smooth! Now I can assure myself that I made a good decision for not ordering cupcakes.

This world is magnificently beautiful and fantastically great!

Can't remember when was the last time this blog is updated. Was spending the precious holiday with my family and friends. Blogging normally take me hours to update so I intentionally abandoned it to not jeopardize the family gathering time. Essentially, they are my priority.

By the way, just a shout out : I got the boyfriend pawned during his 26th Birthday! Will blog about it soon so stay tuned yo! Today's post will purely to share some of my thoughts, I feel that I need to get this off my chest before I change my perspectives again.

P9032678

Many things have happened recently. Two of my closest friends lost their loved one. The descendents were not old enough to leave us. I understand that death is one of the normal stage of life (Unless you're a vampire). I just couldn't live with the fact that some people leave the world before they get the chance to explore the world! It's saddening to me. My advice is to be grateful when you still have people around and love you for who you are, although he or she isn't your lover! So please stop with the #foreveralone, in fact nobody is alone forever!

P9032686

There's a said saying : Money is priceless. Money can't buy happiness.
Later on, an anonymous beg to differ by responding : If money can't buy happiness, she/he must have bought the wrong thing!

I find it super hilarious! It must be a major turn off to those who are strong believers of the first statement!

P9032683

I've seen people whom self-respect and confidence boost up to level 99 when they are loaded with designer-bags. It keeps me wondering who they would be if without all the price tags. If they're unhappy, you can easily buy their heart depending on the digit printed on the price tags. From my point of view, though they might be too realistic and materialistic, but they are actually making other's life easier. 

"It's not longer a problem if money can solve it" - anonymous. Though I regularly find out that money is the major problem.

THAT ASIDE.

Personal satisfaction is the key.

P9032700

There is a fine line between good or bad. We can't define anyone based on uncertainties. You can't tell that a girl with designer bag is materialistic, probably she does loaded with money and why can't she buy a Prada instead of Tropicana Life? Does it mean that people without a designer bag are certainly poor?

P9032697

And when some people said life's sucks, I said life's great. I don't know what he or she has been gone through, but the best thing that ever happen in my life is still happening; I AM STILL BREATHING. Despite all the bad time in life, I am still a winner by breath in breath out.

P9032687

Move on. If you can't, move along. Life is too short for you to worry about that little things. Recently, there were hearsay that a particular person is still badmouthing me although years has passed since the scenario. She intentionally responded to my shout out in Facebook and Twitter. I did not care much because there were nothing to be said and done.

Reap what you sow, I hope she can understand this. She had been making anonymous calls to my numbers and all she ever did is yelling at me, I couldn't understand what she was yelling about, it was so unclear. I was puzzled and who the hell was this person. My mind was totally blank when she first called me. Second day, third day, forth day... my classmates started to take turn and answered the calls on behalf of me.  Even my Chemistry teacher, she knew it.

P9032691

Thankfully that I have friends around, one of them was her classmates. This friend of mine called and wrote me a letter, came clean with whatever had happened. Ironically, after that, other girls called me and came clean as well. The most interested part was, all of them were the caller's best friends.

Admittedly, I was upset when she twisted the whole stories. The truth is, she admired the boyfriend of mine and commanded me not to control him. I told her calmly that I can't do anything if the boyfriend has no interest in her. She couldn't stop yelling at me, and finally she broke down, sobbing and asked me to leave my boyfriend so that my boyfriend will be with her. She is a pathetic psycho, indeed.

P9032705

Forgiving her or not is totally out of this issue. As far as I concern, her love life has not been in good condition. She cheated on her previous boyfriend, fortunately that her friends informed the ex boyfriend. I strongly believe that her friends meant good intention. She then begged for his forgiveness. She failed apparently, she was dumped. You reap what you sow, I hope she understand this. I reckon that she is trying to get rid of her current boyfriend as well. Let's wait and see.

P9032706

She is the one who decided to live under one's shadow, nobody could do anything about it, neither do I. Why should I care?She regularly stalking and mocking me, let it be. Everyone knows the truth.

P9032710

There are many choices in life. You choose the walk of life and don't regret. It's your life experience no matter good or bad. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is an ancient law. Though we live in a contemporary world, I find it efficiently good. Be good to me or you'll get the worse of me.

P9032725

It was a sunny day in Melbourne when I realized that by giving intense concentration in my life do surely keep all the vulnerability from me! I used to be very vulnerable in making decision. From buying groceries to college. Time waits for everyone, but vulnerable people. I've gradually change to a better person throughout the years, especially in taking chances. Failure doesn't mean losing, but a room for improvement, get it?

P9032727

I want a decent car, I want to travel occasionally, I want to upgrade my wardrobe but after all that happened recently... stay healthy is all I'm wishing for. I still want all those but it's not my Top Ten. Maybe people changed from time to time, I think I've become more.... down to earth. #justkidding

P9032732

By the way, I've experienced that the term of be humble is not for everyone. #justsaying I shall stop writing or another cyber cat fight will occur due to my personal opinion. So before I'm signing off,

Who received postcards from me?

The people I've met, stories I've heard, artworks and books that inspires me, jokes that make my laugh out loud... all these excites me. I have feelings and certainly not a dead people. I'm able to walk, jump, sing and swim! It's enough for me to feel blessed and loved. Braces yourself for what is coming to you! Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
