i found a Shi Tzu

i parked my car in my living area(Sungai Long) just back from college when little puppy was roaming around my condo lobby. With a very joyous feeling, I was approaching it just feel wanna to touch it. Guess what. It is injured. It's right eye is bleeding badly.

Without second thought, what i did, i brought it to vet(pet clinic) at Cheras Mahkota. It's a he. The doctor intimated that the dog was infected by maggot(worms) which is potentially susceptible by minor wound(s). Semantically, *please allow me to do this assumption - the maggots were there due to owner' ignorance(it shouldn't be unnoticeable because the wound wasn't small, it's colossally surrounding his-dog right eye) to cure the wound. Maybe he/she thought it will cured by itself? And whats now? Eye started bleeding and scared of bacteria, virus and etc etc, so oppressively abandon him(dog)? What kind of human you are man.. damn u.

First the doctor asked me "Are you going to keep the dog?" and i answered "I'm planning to" and he replied "thats good" then he started preparing 3 set of liquids(substance to cure?) and injected into his(dog) eye, butt and shoulder. The panaceas costs me rm100. sigh..

The dog is placed there for the moment when the treatment is in progress. I believe he will hospitably treated. Once he's officially cured, i will fetch him to my place. At this moment, i will be looking in advance if there's anyone(my friends or relatives) wishes to adopt this little puppy. Actually, i wish to have him because it's just too cute but haplessly i cant, because right, my place disallowed pet adoption and my parents at Tanjong Malim refused to :( He(dog)'s actually a Shi Tzu, a lion Chinese dog. Here's image of a Shi Tzu(not him), i found in website, but the color, shapes, species are exactly same.

Still wondering which churlish on earth dumped this little puppy by the road side and let it walks around carrying a brand dog species title? This is what we call, human? duhh...

Anyway, if you are interested to adopt him, call me 012-3735339, email me KLbret_711@hotmail.com, or comment in this post.

thx q

Tag by QS aka YingYang

In response to : "Two tags of the same game"

1.) What is your dream when you were in your childhood?
A rather materialistic view of the world. I wanted Playstations, computers, castles in the sky (rofl) and so on.

2.) Rainy days or sunny days? Why?
Rainy days; because it brings us back to reality on how life really is. It's also a good time for reflection on oneself. (After all, you don't exactly go out during rainy days, no?)

3.) Which do you like the most? Black or White?
Answering white would mean all colors (as it's a mix!). Okay, geekiness aside,

4.) Who would you marry?
As of now I am still undecided; more time is needed because we should know what we want, rather than just marrying anyone who you find suitable at first glance.

5.) Where is the place you would like to go most? Why?

West End, of England. It would be great if I could spend time there with my family, sister, the third one, and perhaps the special person in my life. :-)

6.) What are you afraid of ?
Being unjust to myself in what I do.

7.) When you encounter a sad moment, what would you do?
I talk about it. Or I go into my "cave", for some deep reflections to resolve what I should do next.

8.) What is the one thing you can never get tired of?

Spending time with family and friends. Contrary to the question, can't get enough of that!

9.) If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her? Or just keep the secret in the heart, observing by yourself?
I believe that love is something we have to separate from lust. No doubt I would confess, but I would very much like it to be the right choice, rather than advocating "whirlwind romances". *wink*

10.) Till now, what is the moment that you regret most?

Everytime something happens, we learn from it, and we move on. Because of this, I have no real regrets about how I have lived my life thus far.

11.) What are the requirements that you wish for your other half?
I view independence, empathy and humility as the three most important values I look for in my other half.

12.) Which type of person do you hate most?
Tough question. I don't hate people for the sake of hating them, rather I just refuse to deal with people who are unscrupulous that's all.

13.) Favorite part of a song?
Anything meaningful perhaps :)

14.) Would you rather be someone else at this moment?
Nope! :-)

15.)Do you ever admit it when you're emo?
No doubt about that!

16.) What will you do if the world ends tomorrow?
Stop the world from ending tomorrow?

17.) Who's your favorite cartoon character?
Doraemon lol

18.) TO which extent would you do for the special ones.
Whatever the situation demands of me.

19.) Describe your dream house.
A cozy cottage in the countryside. :-)

20) Does music make you lose control?

No

Thanks for the Messages of Encouragement!

I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to come out and talk to me about what happened recently in my life. Although rather embarrassing to talk about, as it is all about managing time, and stress, I am very glad that I have managed to release my pent up stress that has been accumulating inside for a long while. I'm really happy that I have had friends around me who care for me, and who are willing to take the time to sit down and properly listen to my problems.

Thank you all. I appreciate it. :-)

The Power of Love(ENG HW)

Love is the best antidepressant but many of our ideas about “love” are wrong. The less love you have, the more depressed you are likely to feel. Love is as critical for your mind and body as oxygen. It's not negotiable. In other words, the more connected you are, the healthier you will be in both physically and emotionally. The less connected you are, the more you are at risk.

First and foremost, it is also true that the less love you have, the more depression you are likely to experience in your life. Love is probably the best antidepressant there is because one of the most common sources of depression is feeling unloved. Most depressed people don't love themselves and they do not feel loved by others. They are also very self-focused, making them less attractive to others and depriving them of opportunities to learn the skills of love.

Secondly, there is a mythology in our culture that love just happens. It happens when you are not in attention and you never realize it. As a result, someone who is truly depressed often sits around passively waiting for someone to love them but love doesn't work that way. In addition, to get and keep love, you have to go out and be active and learn a variety of specific skills.

Next, most of us get our ideas of love from popular culture. We come to believe that love is something that sweeps us off our feet but the pop-culture ideal of love consists of unrealistic images created for entertainment, which is one reason so many of us are set up to be depressed. Furthermore, it is part of our national vulnerability, like eating junk food, constantly stimulated by images of instant gratification. We think it is Love at first thought when it’s just merely a distraction or infatuation.

On the other hand, one consequence is that when we hit real love we’ll become upset and disappointed because there are many things that do not fit the cultural ideal. Some of us get demanding and controlling, wanting someone else to do what we think our ideal of romance should be, without realizing our ideal is misplaced. It is not only possible but necessary to change one’s approach to love to ward off depression.
Last but not least, love is a learned skill, not something that comes from hormones or emotion particularly. If you don't learn the skills of love you virtually guarantee that you will be depressed, not only because you will not be connected enough but because you will have many failure experiences. So, learn good communication skills. They are a means by which you develop trust and intensify connection. The more you can communicate the less depressed you will be because you will feel known and understood. Respectively, if you really love someone, you must be able to negotiate and compromise on him/her until you find a common ground that works on both.

On clarification, the range of love is wide and consist a lot of meaningful point but “depression” cannot take exemption when love being brought into discussion. For your information, “depression” being emphasized in this essay because in the world nowadays, depression took a lot of youngster’s bright look, and yes, most on negative perspective which made then unmotivated and unloved.

In conclusions, The “Power of Love” is the power of enjoy life. When you are born, you are crying and everyone around you is smiling. Live your life with full of love so that when you die, you are smiling and everyone around you is crying.

EX-SPM-er

All right guys, chill. To who with the good results, I congratulate you. Nicely done. To the one with the not-so-good result, it's ok and at least you've done all that you could. Still, you have all the right to cheer up and celebrate.

Remember, don't be a victim of other people expectation. You, is who you are. SPM don't guarantee you a good manners or a good son/daughter. Beside, who care about SPM?

I tell you a true story, a friend of mine who once at school (he's my senior actually) got 5 F9, barely pass the others and only credit in BM. Guess what? After SPM, he's the first one in who graduated from MFA while the rest of his batch still struggling with degree, and he also the first who's working, as a pilot.

The moral of the story, your destiny won't determine by a piece of paper. You're your own destiny. Good luck.
