杂种。。

Nope I didn't use this word on anyone but something else used it on me.

它们肯定是写不出，连在电脑里也没有办法输入。。。你知道为什么吗？

因为这几只废物的汉语拼音水准落在小一学生之下！！！语文水平见不得人！不知为什么ah lians和ah bengs要攻击我时一定会说我是个‘崇洋香蕉人’（内白外黄）或类似的话。。

称厉害嘛，我倒是不敢当（我中文水准早已退步一大半），但勉强和它们相比较的话。。从它们角度看上来大概还是望尘莫及的。根本没办法同台比较。。别人我不敢说，但lians和bengs跟我比？开玩笑。差得远咯。。除了打架闹事之类，它们哪一样比我好？

为什么叫我杂种呢？告诉你，你也会笑。就因我父亲是个印尼华侨，来新加坡留学时在华初碰见我妈。。你说，无聊吗？？不骂它们真的非常难，贱骨头。虽然它们不懂意思，‘杂种’这两个字似乎对它们是什么深词，用起来洋洋得意的，不怕被人耻笑。。我还是黑眼睛，黑头发，黄皮肤的传统华人，祖先们的来历不小，对华人社会的贡献也不少。。家书一代传一代，里面记载的都是先辈们的名字。说到这点嘛，它们一个个应该对自己的现状感到惭愧。。丢死华人的脸了。。

但说实在的，卑微粗俗也就好了，最令人反感的是它们竟然还笨得无法想象！！等多几天你就会苟同与我(等我把例子上载)。说它们笨，它们不好好反省还敢生气！现实虽残酷，但还是要去面对啊。。

或许这些社会垃圾，这些脑部残缺的畜牲在世唯一能贡献的就是。。。自刭。什么办法都好，早死就可以了。

哈哈哈哈哈。不管是英语华语你们都听得出这话来自与我吧。。不喜欢它们，不喜欢就是不喜欢。。没必要尊重。

*bleah*

P.S

Cat C dogs, mals to be muzzled, AVA, bunch of bullshiat LOL!!
I've been through thick and thin with Caesar even before I had adopted him, AVA dramas, police cases, f-up passer-bys, I have the experiences.. RICH ONES STILL YOU FOOLS.

Caesar and Latte

This was weeks ago...


This is now!!






Look at how much she grew. From a tiny lil thing that could fit into my palm to this beautiful girl now. They look extremely cute together, especially when they wrestle!!!

Latte (Wing Chun) vs Caesar (American Boxing)

Latte came into my life unexpectedly. I have always wanted to get a Maine Coon cat as a companion cos Caesar's not too dominant over cats and Maine Coons are BEAUTIFUL creatures. And Latte came into my life, it's like out of a sudden, I've signed up for a 20-year bond for the responsibility of her well being.

**********************************************

My appeal for help

My room is in a mess now (as always).

Friends I need your help! (Only for those who are close enough to have entered my room)... cos I'm too embarrassed about the mess. My maid has long given up on me =(.

I wanna clear the mess, put everything back to the (now) empty drawers, find all my heels and place them nicely in cupboard, empty all boxes of clothes, books, what nots, change the smaller wardrobe to one with similar design of the big one, bring in the sofa and make it a place friends can come over and chill! I promise I will keep them neat! Just need a one shot success in tidying! It's not something one or two or 3 persons can complete in a day. I'm extremely desperate!!!!

Wanna donate all the things I do not need too.

P.S Should I collect my marathon race pack? Cos I don't think I'm gonna run with my knee injury. Besides, I haven't run anything more than 6km recently, and I don't jog in the morning cos it's too warm for Caesar. Sometimes, I jog in the gym with air-con! I don't think my body can get used to the rapid dehydration in the day even for just 10km... maybe not even 5km! And it's lame to go there and WALK for 10km and claim to have completed marathon! I wanna sign up for california fitness gym. Care to shower me more info?

Singapore Idol is not a fair competition!

How is it possible that Joan will ever get "kicked out"? She HAS what it takes to be a Singapore Idol! She's a great vocalist, a great dancer, a rare talent!!!!!!!!!

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY???? Is it because she's Jasmine Tye's sister? Dick Lee gave a yes, not the other two. They bombarded her with 20 over questions during the audition before slamming a NO into her. One of the questions, "Are you Jasmine Tye's sister?"

DOES IT MATTER?? It's not fair for such a young girl to go through this! Her talent ame since she was at a tender age. She composed, sang the song and emerged champion during her secondary school days. Not forgetting to mention that 2nd was not anywhere near her.

The Media was not merciful to her either. The KEPT pestering her for interviews - to spice up their production!! Magazines conveniently used headlines like, "Jasmine Tye's sister." They are so cruel.

WHY DO THIS TO A LITTLE GIRL! She broke down when the interview begin after audition, "Do you think it's because of Jasmine Tye?", "Did you think the judges were bias?"

At first, she didn't wanna join SG Idol because of school commitments, it was encouragement from friends and support for family that enabled her to gather the confidence to thnk she is ready to juggle school and competition at the same time. Why is it that it's because of she's Jas's sister, she can't enter the competition? What's wrong if you come from a family of talents???

If they still have a heart, don't cut and paste and make her look stupid cos she's a real talent!!! Her vocals are amazingly powerful and she can dance very very well, this girl will go far into this industry. You will have to hear her yourself to know how good she really is.

Singapore Idol is NOT a singing competition!!! NOT a talent competition AT ALL!!

The ultimate filthy beings that never once proved me wrong..

My perception of them will never change, ever, so annoying!!! They are forever and ever behaving like.. like.. hmmmm. like ah lians? LOL, can't think of a word more insulting than that. This is how is started, they got in my way, I started describing them in my most honest opinion and they got extremely bothered by it. For what?!?!? They ARE what..

I do have funny things to blog about but I'll need to get the images sorted out. Meanwhile get ready to update during weekends and be sure to include your honest comments on the post okay! I need motivation to blog you see, cos interesting entries require effort guys!

One thing I couldn't stop laughing at. I was so polite I addressed her as 'aunty' and they other guy mentioned something like "in a few years she will have a boy who will call you aunty too".

I was like...

...

OMG THEY AE GONNA PRODUCE THE NEXT GENERATION OF THRASH? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abort it man seriously, or kill it after birth.. do anything to it just make sure its dead... we don't need additions of such you know, things like them not very capable of bringing up anything better than their own kind.

(no no no, stop right there! I don't need moral education. Spare me from that please, I'll feel uneasy all over.)

They tried calling me names, saying I can only speak english (hell yea, they have the slightest idea), acting like retards to annoy me, called me 'stupid' and 'no brains' (JOKE of the century!!) but I felt nothing much... quite funny when they called me stupid actually.. Cos if I'm stupid in their opinion, then where do they stand?!? I don't mind if Shane thinks I'm stupid cos he's a freaking doctor, and I've got so much to learn from him. Like typical bengs and lians, they thought I was scared and thus I backed off when in actual fact I just wasn't around for no particular reason. I went back for more amusement of course... honestly, and I swear I've never expected their brains to be SO UNDER-developed. They think and behave like freaking 16-19 years old when they are in their late 30s!

When they can't do much about me, they decided that they should call up AVA to complain about Caesar.... oh well..

*smirk*

You can't expect anything from them that's more creative than that, can you?

brrrr *shudders*

I am so totally threatened and scared. Hellllp =(

Genevieve isn't just any plain Jane you know. I fear nothing and I'm friends with government and authorities, they keep our society (quite) pleasant afterall. And I'm of course their friend too.

Chris is right. Education is the solution. In fact, there are less of bengs and lians around already. Some of the people I know who were bengs and lians are now hardworking students doing their best for their future. As for lians in their late 30s, we can only wait for them to die naturally, or hope that they get mugged to death by their own kind.

As the saying goes, 十年树木，百年树人 and we are still such a young society and we are barely half a century old.. There won't be a day I'll be alive to see this world without such people...

I wonder how people can end up in that state you know..

DFS saga.. funny one.

It all started from (note: all posts are copied from the thread and only words in brackets are edited.)

Person A, dog lover, blogger with lots of readers and fans who adore his huge dogs. A:

"A word of caution. If you cannot command your dog to pee and poo, or that your dog barks, etc... then please do not bring to the (insert a place).
Thank you. don't spoil market for everyone."

I understand where he's coming from, and you guys do too. That place does not have a definite rule that no pets are allowed in their premise, and so far it's fine to bring our dogs there and no one complained. Imagine what happens when dogs start having accidents there and the whole place starts to be filled up with unpleasant stench? Person A1 just do not wish to see that one day, the management of that place slams a solid rule into our faces that says DOGS ARE BARRED.

Thread starter thanked him for the advice. I would have thanked him too.

But here comes B

Person B, dog lover, dog breeder with comparable lovely champion dogs.

"Dont worry, you are not the only dog trainer in Singapore.....
Also, do remember to muzzle you (insert dog breed) when in public places are Airport,and get it insured...dont spoil the market for all big dogs...
Thank you"

Ok this is pretty offensive and kinda started that awkward feeling among most who reads that thread. Maybe they've had misunderstandings before, well.. after hearing from both sides, I think they do. You know, things we heard from others have the power to distort our impression of somebody else.

Then after one post from A, B kiddingly said "ok you win." Perhaps he didn't see the need to proceed to having a heated arguement.

Then X appeared, apparently not very happy with the remark made by B.

"what do you mean 'spoil the market for all big dogs'? not all big dogs have to wear a muzzle in public. and, can you imagine what people would do, how they would react, when they see two rotties in muzzles, no matter how well behaved they are? I'm sure if the two (dogs) were muzzled, the security guards would come running to chase them out of the (place), or some 'concerned' member of public would make a complaint. muzzles only make a dog look fierce, crazy, aggressive, and is especially NOT needed when the dog is extremely well-behaved, obedient, and unaggressive...
(a block of text)
...I don't mean to lash out at you, but I"m sick and tired of people saying that big dogs should be muzzled...
(a block of text)
...it is usually the small dogs that pee and poop anywhere without their owners picking up after them, and bark their heads off but instead of correcting them, the owners just pick them up into their arms and sayang them. so let's please get the small dog owners to stop that kind of idiotic behaviour before giving us big dog owners a lecture. thanks."

Heee.. personally, I thought X had some misunderstandings here.. cos B himself is a breeder of a large breed. But X probably just misinterpreted cos he really had enough of people complaining about large breeds. Oh yes, most ownership problems lies with a group of owners with small dogs. My friends who don't own dogs will tell me how irritating their neighbour's toy breeds are. And all of them will agree with the excessive barkings and poop problem.

Moving on, B pointed out that if we want to do something that the public is strongly against about, we should do it discretely, and keep a low profile. It's an advice, appreciated one. Then A just pointed out something that hinted that, it's a personal choice, and he has nothing to worry about cos the public is confindent with his dogs. But then you know ppl always misinterpret when they feel offended and react defensively. Here comes the threat.

B:

"so,surely you won't mind if i forward your blog to AVA?"

Hurhur.. then we have an ass sucker .. let's call him HB who came in just to 'spark plug'.

HB:

"it's your life... u do watever u like la... ava just a phonecall away.. they very friendly one... if u'r on their side (an icon of a laughing face.)"

I swear I can imagine it's some idiotic expression on this moron's face and hell, I feel like stabbing it.

Stabbing him like...


HB:

"ho say liao, things r getting more exciting here... camping here to see who gets the last laugh... (same stupid icon)"

The icon just look really irritating when coming from him LOL.

Then my turn, cos I was freaking irritated already.. I typed a lot but I'll just extract the necessary:

"I can understand if non-dog owner are not able to relate to this BUT HELLO?? WHY IS THIS SHIT COMING FROM DOG OWNERS WHO SUPPOSEDLY LOVE THEIR DOGS TOO??? If ever there's a complaint, I would have least expected it from a dog lover, let alone members of dogsforum.

Some people have just proven myself right that dog owners don't necessarily possess the attributes of a dog lover. complaints to AVA? sit back and watch the "show"? I'm surprised to read these in dogsforum. "

Followed by my comments on some questionable phrases HB typed. He replied something like "don't take it out on us". Not sure why he used the word "us" when I was targetting at him. So I made it clear that I just found him an eyesore:

"Honestly, if you still cannot figure out. I have a problem with your existance here. Well of course I can't do anything else about this.
[block of text]
And people, this forum is no longer like the one we had before, you guys better be careful about your personal information and DO NOT reveal it here cos there'll be people watching and waiting to grasp ANY information that can be used against you, especially when the authorities are (quoted from our dear HB) "just a few phone calls away". They'll then sit back and enjoy the show..
[some quotes from HB]
See? These people "camp" here too! For all you know, the members who have been here longer are all laughing at this newbie."

HB:

"seems like you consider yourself "oldies" and so have the right to use words like "shix", use very unfriendly tones in your post, and speak as you deem fit which includes insults..."

Horrible sentence.. took me sometime to figure out what he's trying to say.

Me:

"It's completely alright to use it unless you can prove what you are stiring up isn't shit. But you can't, cos THEY ARE SHIT. Or would you rather I use the word poop? feces? defecation? I will prefer using the 1st two cos they contain only 4 letters.

You find excitement when one forum member is putting the other down. Worse, you took the role of a catalyst. Oh is there a rule I must be friendly to people who wants to stir SHIT and sit back to enjoy the SHIT he stirred up?

P.S I beg to differ. I describe, I do not insult. AND I did try to be friendly. But I failed.. how? Maybe I'll try harder next time. "

I don't mind using 'defecation' if he thinks it sounds cooler on him. HAHHA. I know I know, I've gone slightly too much while having fun. But who cares when the thing I'm targetting is a MORON?

Then HB tried diverting attention from the shameful things he had done.

HB:

"oic, u'r trying to set your own rules here... what u say is rite.. what u don't agree is "shix"... "

Why can't I use this word? It's an English slang you know. And I didn't use it in an offensive manner, I just used it to describe!

Me:

"P.S btw, "shit" is an english slang. "ho say liao" <--- whatever shit this is, it's not english."

(followed by a few posts by other forumers, I'll just highlight on this moron cos I giggled myself to sleep after replying him)

HB:

"as demonstrated with a few posts of yours, it's very clear you consider HERE "your" forum with rules set by you... u say what, we must agree... don't agree is shit... based on your defination, i'm stupid, u'r intelligent n friendly...
happy living in your own world... adios amigo... (icon of stupid face again.. grrrr) "

DefinAtion. HAHAHA pretty sure that's not a typo. That's what happens when you refuse to pronounce words the right way. I don't know how it got the idea I think I run the forum. And I have no idea what makes it think its stupidity can justify my intelligence. I never thought it could! Cleverer than you doesn't equate me to being really smart (maybe he thinks too highly of himself). HAHAHAHAHHA. yeeek shameless prick. He brought up something about sammyboy forum (knew this is definitely a perverted prick).

ME:

"This is not SAMMYBOY forum. This is Dogsforum. Don't import the nonsense of that dirty forum to Dogsforum. We don't work your sammyboy way. =)

You took on a role of a catalyst and THAT.IS.SHIT. Now situation seem more clear after you have explained (or attempt to cover). I didn't know SAMMYBOY forum has a majority of such idio.. I mean people, and such stupi.. I mean such acts are considered norm over there. I truely apologise for the ignorance of the existance of people like you. But do be assured that I saw my posts as extremely necessary."

Then things started to calm after A and B came out to speak again. Except for one calefare, a fugly (inside-out) aunty posting nonsense replies to X, who ignored her completely *LOL*. Poor thing. She'll be what I call, senior ah lian citizen. Very annoying I tell you. I cannot understand half the things she says.. even her 汉语拼音is atrocious. She seems only proficient in a mixture of broken English, broken Mandarin and dialect. You know, these people need not talk to me to get on my nerves. Just... EWWWWWWWWW EEEEEEEEEEK YUCK!!!!! PUI!!

Ok anyway..
I received private messages and since things have calmed down a little, I thought I should follow-suit.

"My 2 cents. B and A are both dog lovers. You guys may have previous misunderstandings that I do not know, or even a few that either one of you aren't aware of. In my honest opinion, mbg did appear to attempt to start a fight 1st (in this particular thread) cos he really didnt sound like he made any efforts to be tactful. BUT, BearBear may have done something similar before in other threads. (I don't know, and I don't wanna know HAHA. Let's put the past behind). Let this matter rest. Sometimes we gotta know more about each other to learn how to exist in harmony. And please, I do not see evidences of anyone claiming superiority, no one at all so don't point fingers anymore.

As for Hugo_BALLs.. I don't know.. he or she's an ass sucker that appeared in this thread only to "spark plug" and see members fight.. not forgeting about his alleged magnanimous reason behind his doings. For those who do not have a clue, read his 1st few post in this thread.

We are all (or mostly) genuine dog lovers and this is a place where we meet people who share the same love for dogs. Before attempting to offend, try to understand where the other guy is coming from. If you do not like someone's attitude, talk about it privately, be open-minded and receptive, and take nothing to heart.

(confidential conversation among forum members removed) Threat doesn't work well on anyone. Pieces of advice are welcomed and that should be the most you provide. (confidential conversation among forum members removed) Love is subjective, who is to decide what is best for our own dogs? No point dwelling on this topic for a justification, it'll be never-ending."

Then the situation almost ended in a happy ending until perhaps HB decided that the calm is due to a fact that people are tired and weakened, he decided to "attack".

HB directing to A

"u go missing in this thread for more than 2 days, letting a lady fight your "quarrel".. tday u come bk n claim victory... how i envy u... u'r d man... (stupid-faced icon again)"

I swear it's really irritating man. Who was talking about victory??? In fact it's that ah lian aunty gang that mentioned something about 'war'. LOL. Damn lame I tell you. Ah lians speak alien..

HB:

"u'll b d 1st to know if its a threat or a promise... Please b patient...
it was only a bluff in the beginnin... but poor stupid egoistic bastarx like hugo_balls cannot b challenge one..
continue to call us names if u wish.. i cant stop u... neither can u..."

Wah threatening ah beng leh, he cannot b challenge one leh, will wan 2 turn bluff into reality. Mii scared sia. So scary ask ppl 2 b paitient 2. Mii wonder wat happen later to me sia. (WTF hahaha)

HB didn't stop just there, we went on mobilising his army in preparation for his 'victorious expedition'. He replied to an allie:

"no use trying to highlight to them about d law la... later they will call u stupid newbies..
"later they call u sunday_balls or golden_balls... i kanna already... your kindness will b repay by "friendly replies" from intelligent "oldies"..."

Psychoing T (allie) that they will end up in the same fate as him. We were targetting only this ultimate sick, sadistic guy, no others, as you can tell.

HB

"but i kinda like it leh... hugo_balls, boss_balls, hugo_ boss_ balls... ah, this is best - stupid hugo_boss_go_bang_balls... anyone knows how to change nick...
MGB - massage_golden_balls... "

Geez should've expected that this sammyboy will get excited about these words. damn it.

To my disappointment HB does have an allie that thinks with his... errr better not use that term or these horny bastards get excited again. Basically I just wanna say they think the same way.

T:

"call me stupid newbie ah.. stupid then stupid lor.. i also don't bother one lah.. they are only above the "laws" in DFS.. u think their balls would shrink if it is outside DFS? i remember someone ever implied his balls are bigger wor.. maybe that's why can do anything he like bah... "

A came out again. Thinking this is really silly,

"*Yawn*
this is getting nowhere.
I would suggest that everyone refrain from commenting. What needs to be said has already been said.
We all have better things to do like putting our time and money where its most needed."

HB is by now feeling very excited about claiming his victory! Thus,

"(he quoted A: "this is getting nowhere.") wrong... this is goin to haunt u... u'll b one to pick d shit... remember, it'll happen when u least expected... bastardise promise to u from a bastard... (stupid-faced whistling icon again)"

*shudders* mighty ah beng. "it'll happen when u least expected". Damn funny English and implication. Does he seriously think that is a threat at all? Wonder why he's so happy calling himself a bastard. One whose mum gave birth to him before getting married.

"(he quoted A: "I would suggest that everyone refrain from commenting. What needs to be said has already been said.") ...................................................................... speechless... u really think u r somebody important hor...(stupid-faced laughing icon again)"

I really wonder how he got the clue that A thinks he's an important person. LOL, cos it seems perfectly alright to me. Sometimes, ah bengs can't tune into our frequencies. Brought up differently you know.

"(he quoted A: "We all have better things to do like putting our time and money where its most needed.") good for u n your oldies gang...
but me newbie, me stupid bastard with nothing better to do.. me got no balls but me got hp to make call n become 25 kia...(stupid-faced icon again)
u go missin from this thread for more than 2 days... return after only after a lady speak up for u... u'r the man... (stupid-faced icon again)
no parents will command their child to pee or shit... it's inhumane... self-proclaim dog lovers - omg, my axxhole is laughing... (stupid-faced icon again)"

Woah, tok about gang oh-leh-ly leh.. *hahahaha* wat is "25 kia" a brand of cah? N hiz asshole can larf! wah, one-der how much ah bengs can larf with assholes. I neber heard anyting lyk ths b4 leh, how amajing..

Finally, my last reply to this thread, no fun talking to HB cos he can't understand what I say..

"No one is but YOU are talking about 'victory'. You wanna claim you can just take it as you appeared victorious. lol. And do you seriously think Bear was my drive to describe (not insult okay) you? tsk, to think I actually attempt to tell you that you are just an eyesore and I cannot help it.

"i cant stop u... neither can u.." wth, this sounds hilarious cos it doesn't make sense! LOL. Calling you name is a personal choice. And make this clear, calling YOU. Don't try using the words "us newbies, they oldies" to mislead and motivate your army. You are the newbie, the NOOB, who spent about 25% of your posts here."

"u'll b d 1st to know if its a threat or a promise... Please b patient..." whoa, *shudders*, you lack the ability to identify threats? And lack the ability to understand that threats do not work well here?

"poor stupid egoistic bastarx like hugo_balls cannot b challenge one.." WOAH!! Cannot be challenged! TOUGH! Woohooo!! hahahahahahaha

Seems like me there's no way people here can bond as one cos we can't reach/tune into each others' frequency. *smirk* Oh well, I'm outta here. The internet is a gift for us to get to know more about people we avoid in real life. "

I'll update again when there are interesting replies!

Simba has got a "hot spot"

Neighbours will approach me before going to the vet.. Not certain of the exact reason behind it. But I guess it's known here that I will make the best decision for our canine friends. A couple of people around here call me "dog-pro" *lol* 不敢当不敢当.. sometimes when I receive a call from a friend, I'll run to my book shelves and get the reference books to try get some information from there. Things I've done and knowledge I have acquired, 不足为挂齿，也不能蹬大雅之堂啦.. you haven't met and spoken to some of my friends whom I look up to, and seek help from. The vet, the dog behaviourist, the doctor.. I gain lots of knowledge from every conversation we have.

Simba's very submissive to me cos I trained him when he was a pup.


It's so easy to handle a retriever! I have to have Caesar muzzled (see why you should muzzle them) when treating his wound cos he had trauma from past experiences and thus he bites! But Simba? He doesn't dare to move when I say 'no'.



Emo after I've cut the fur grown around his wound.


He's a darling. And they owners are extremely friendly, they bonded so well with us that Caesar can roam their house freely. They welcome us in anytime! There was even once we chatted till 2am! He often follows their maid around and 'talks' to her cos he knows he'll get Simba's treats eventually. She's extremely soft-hearted.

Caesar dwarfed their kitchen.

How Could You?

This is an extremely touching story. I had saved it on a website I've built years ago and I JUST retrieved it from there. Here, I'm gonna share it with ya.. The following text in black are all extracted from a long forgotten source.

A man in Grand Rapids, Michigan incredibly took out a US$7,000 full page ad in the paper to present the HOW COULD YOU? By Jim Willis, 2001


When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh.You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend.

Whenever I was "bad," you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" -- but then you'd relent and roll me over for a bellyrub.

My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams,and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs" you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love.

She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -- still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement.

I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate.

Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisonor of love."

As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch -- because your touch was now so infrequent -- and I would've defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.

There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me.

These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.

Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers." You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life.

You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked "How could you?"

They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me.

When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room.

A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days.

As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood.

She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?"

Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place.

And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It was directed at you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of you. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.

Any local humane society or animal welfare league can offer you good advice, and that all life is precious.

Please do your part to stop the killing, and encourage all spay & neuter campaigns in order to prevent unwanted animals.

What's with these 4 colours?

AVG 1st used black,

Then they changed it into blue..
It's red, green. yellow. blue clockwise. Why are they using basic colours? Any psychologically-related effects? Say to attract consumers? Just wondering.. hmmm..

URGENT!! Kittens for adoption for foster!!

ADOPTED!

Friends, I need your help, neighbour of mine found these kittens and they are up for adoption. 3 of them are extremely small and are all dependent on milk. Pass this message around, email it to your friends, put it on your twitter or facebook. They need to be adopted or will be put down against our will.

I can't adopt anymore kittens. Latte had caused quite a 'drama' and I don't think my parents can tolerate anymore additions. Please, just anyone who is willing to foster or adopt. Contact me asap. me@i-am-genevieve.com

These lovely kittens are estimated to be only 2-3 weeks old.

Update: These babies are currently fostered by a really kind hearted friend. She'll be nursing them till the are healthy and ready for adoption. Keep spreading the news, they need loving homes =)

Update 21/6/09: New fosterer needed urgently!!

Update 29/6/09: 2 black kittens left. 1 male, 1 female.

Hmmm... not so much of a bad day for me.

Not so bad, cos I met Sihui. She came over and it's really nice to catch up! We seem to have very different personalities but somehow, a small part of us cliqued pretty well. She's the very few who accepted me as a friend for who I really am, the few who saw not only the bad, but also the praiseworthy side of me... hahahaha, though the praiseworthy part may be quite a challenge to be identified. She knows for the wicked things I've done, there's a morally upright reason behind them. Well morally upright in my own perception that is. I think I can be quite twisted in some ways but hey, I don't care, I love the way I am! HAH! I'm sure some of you agree that I'm wicked in a likable manner *LOL*

Next, see how sweet my parents and little brother can be? Ferrero for breakfast, love it!! I'm gonna buy myself more of this so I can begin everyday with it! Looooove chocolate.. good ones.

Oh wait back to topic, my day went really well with Sihui today but wonder why I call it "not so much of a bad" one? Cos you know, ah lians n bengs disgust me, literally. Really man they are disgusting I swear. Like.. ewwwww? Yes that's the way I feel when I see them. It gets worse when I HEAR them, I may even lose my appetite. How I wish they can somehow become slightly more intelligent, and at least have the ability to speak a non-annoying language that people can understand. Not necessarily perfect English or Mandarin (cos that's really not easy), but at least make it less irritating to, and more easily understood by the general population.

I've been on a mood of dolling up lately. Quite fun to do it once in a while and take some good pictures of yourself. This is so that it can serve as a consolation by the time you turn old and wrinkled. Ha, seriously!

Cos 40 years later, this is what I'm gonna say,

"This is granny when I was 22!"

Looooong Lashes

My eyelashes are slightly longer and thicker than the average Singaporeans', however, they are what people usually call 'stubborn' lashes. I''ve been using the curler many people and makeup artists recommend - Shu Uemura's Eyelash Curler. But well, my case.. is kinda tricky.. No matter how I curl them, they fall back to the original position, in matter of minutes, or a couple of hours (when I'm lucky). Just not blessed with very curled lashes.

Yesterday, I went out with my natural lashes prettily curled THE WHOLE DAY, for the 1st time in my life!

All thanks to...

It's white in colour by the way. You can't just use this alone..

Step 1: Get a good lash curler that will give you really pretty and natural-looking curls.
Step 2: Apply MM Lash Bone to your pretty curls.
Step 3: Get a good Mascara and apply over it!

The best thing about my combination is that though it's a "double-layer" application, my lashes do not look 'heavy', and do not clump together like how Maybeline's mascara did no justice to me. Seeing is believing, take a look at the result!

No false lashes, no lash extensions, just real eyelashes with Majolica Majorca Lash Bone + Dejavu Fiberwig Mascara!

But I gotta warn you, MM Lash Bone is kinda harder to remove as compared to Dejavu Mascara.

"Family" Outing

Went to Sentosa in the morning with Hubby and Caesar! Hubby bought 2 Saussage McMuffins for my breakfast, knowing that I needed that "carbo-load" for the day. And guess what, when we were back at my place, I had 2 bowls of Korean Kimchi instant noodles at a go.. I didn't even realise I was having such a good appetite today, till my lil brother told me "哇你真的吃很多leh.. 不公平..你为什么不会胖.."

*LOL* Well I should be happy for now, and take the opportunity to eat as much as I want, cos... in a few years when my metabolic rate decreases, I may need to cut down on food intake or I will pile on in amazing rate!!

Hubby looks so happy here! hahaha

Pardon me I just woke up then..

Caesar, waiting paitiently while we were having breakfast.




Grooming Caesar becomes som much easier when you can share the workload with someone else.. I'm probably gonna doze off after supper.. *looks at watch*, early supper, which is now.. I'm so hungry and tired in this dark and cold room.. =(

Speaking of The Sims..

I LOVE this game! But I don't have the time for it now and I have no idea where all the CDs are.. How I wish they can have The Sims application on facebook! They should right? It'll even be better than Pets Society.

Was talking to hubby about this just now and I told him how I played the game when I was in secondary school.

I discovered on accident that my characters can actually die. And after they do, an urn or a tombstone will appear. That sparked my interest to build a haunted house in that neighbourhood. So I had a few methods to do it, and all methods work towards 1 goal; to collect tombstones and urns in the most convenient way possible. (Well I'll need many these props to stay with my theme won't I?

1. Set them on fire.
   The 1st character died through an accident that happened in the kitchen. But of course I restarted the game so I'll be brought back to where the game was last saved. Anyway, I tried getting them to cook again and realised it's taking too much of my time before they are dead, and they might not necessarily die cos they fire could die off or be put out by their family members (I think). So I improvised my plan. I built a very small house, a 2-by-2-tile house in the yard and place a stove inside. Then I get my character to go inside and cook. Afterwards, I removed the door *cackle*. To save time, I clicked on the fast forward mode so they can die faster. Got greedy afterwards, I let the entire family in and burn them in one shot. I got my urns and tombstones fast!!
   
2. Drown them.
   I built a pool, unlike the room in the yard, this pool is a rather big one. I let the entire family plunge into a pool without ladder for them to get out. Again, to save time, I fast forwarded the motion and they all drowned. The props I needed will appear beside the pool.

My idea of the haunted house is one with countless tombstones and urns all over.. but on another occasion, when another family of victims moved into my "slaughter house", there were translucent images of the previous few families haunting the house!! I was so amazed that even this was programmed in The Sims!! I forgot the reactions of the then alived characters.. I suppose they were pretty frightened and the emotion factor experienced a slight decrease. It didn't bother me anyway, cos they are still gonna die like how the others did. LOL. Sounds pretty sick huh.. but come on, it's all in the name of FUN and curiousity. *hahaha*

Hubby finds it amusing how so many weird ideas can be produced in my small head. I just went googling for it and I chanced upon an interesting site, http://games.sharing-info.com/2008/06/25/nine-way-to-make-your-sims-die/ . Pretty interesting, some ghosts scream *lol*.

Presenting to you a picture of Caesar and me, taken my Wilson.

Dog on duty. Anyone drowning? Or has anyone drowned?

I'm looking for some great pals!!

People who:

1. are dog owners and dog lovers (Cos I don't consider all dog owners to be dog lovers)
2. own female dogs (Caesar can only befriend females or pups)
3. love to bring their dogs out especially to the beach!

Join Caesar, me and my friends on fun outings if you don't mind!! Email me email me!! me@i-am-genevieve.com

And if you think Caesar's big enough..

Tell me how you will describe this..

Brought Caesar together with Crystal to Larissa's house just now. Both Dane (brown) and Kiwi (black) are males thus, can't get along really well with Caesar.. especially Dane, who is the Alpha dog among the two. Kiwi's very docile!! He doesn't growl at Caesar even when Caesar's being rude and aggressive. Quite submissive.

Kiwi's damn playful, you can even try chasing him around! These 2 fortunate dogs have a HUGE confined area, with their own garden. They aren't allowed to swim in the pool though..

Danes at play...

I love meeting friendly people. It was very nice of Larissa and Benjamin to fetch us to their place and back home =)

Sentosa

Went Sentosa yesterday! This was a lil different from usual, we have some primary school kids joining us! They are my cute neighbours, and yes, I have to keep a look out especially on the youngest one, who can't really swim. Their maid followed as well..

I can't post up those pics cos not everyone's comfortable with the photos taken, not many were taken anyway, and at least 1 person will look damn unglam in each pic.

Anyway, I had a bimbo moment.. forgot to apply sunblock to my neck and back of shoulders... I was screaming when I looked into the mirror when I got home. It's so DAMN FUGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEEEEELLLPPP!!



But I experience no pain at all. Have never once experienced any pain from sun-burnt skin. Heard it can be very painful to some people.. Anna told me she had been awaken by the pain last night!

Anyway, what's the fastest way to heal?? Any particular thing I have to eat to speed up recovery? The patch of red is really disturbing!! DAMN UGLY!!

Sexy Swin.. no I mean Sweet Thing

You know I like to share interesting parts of my everyday life with friends.. Saw this hot babe in a polyclinic earlier. She has huge "assets" and she wore a very tight and thin white spaghetti top.. and man.. she's a bouncer, literally. Everyone couldn't help but got their attention attracted to her when she sashayed all around the clinic. Best thing is, her spaghetti straps kept falling off and this revealed her sexy bare shoulders so many times!! Not sure if it's intentionate though, but she could even walk around with the straps hanging off-shoulder, only to pull it up when she found a new seat. I was hoping the whole top slides down to her waist level though.. What a lucky day at the clinic

Yes there are pictures~~







Hot right? She wanted attention, she really attracted lots!

*tsk tsk* She hasn't been taught to dress up properly at home..

Do you kiss your dog?

"Caesar~~" *showed him the piece of chicken*

*Caesar comes forward and very gently tried to pick up the piece of meat*

*meat dropped from my mouth, onto the floor*

*looked at friend* "Did you catch it on camera?"

Dropped the chicken cos I thought Caesar was coming too close! HAHHAA, I will never kiss Caesar on his lips with my lips.

I know some owners do not mind, and some people even claimed that dogs' saliva is good especially for wounds. *I seriously do not see how that can be true* I cringe everytime I see a dog lick its owner's face!!

Does it mean I don't love Caesar?

Well let's just say, I never will let hubby lick me all over my face, or allow my parents, or siblings, or my close friends do it. I'm sure they won't. *Looks at friends, you won't.. erm.. right?*

Let's look at a possible serie of events

Poochie eats dog food> Poochie goes for a walk> Poochie licks on grass> Poochie pees and poops> Poochie goes home> Poochie cleans itself by licking it's body and privates..

Poochie licks your face and mouth!!!!!!

See where I'm coming from? It's just not very clean you see.. This doesn't apply to just dogs but all domestic pets we have here!

P.S Vanness Wu is HOT. http://www.alivenotdead.com/vannesswu

YEAH!!!!!

Firstly, if there's no Chris, this entry wouldn't even exist!



And without Ling, I wouldn't have fallen for Aeropostale Tees at all!! It all started from a yellow tee she gave me months ago.. hehe
