the sad boy returns




After near 3 months backpacking in China, he was commanded back. Look how sad the boy looks. I can see it was an amazing trip with lots of near-death experiences. But always conclude these experiences with one thing.

"As I stand in front of the huge snow mountains, desserts or whatever, which can swallow me and take my life away casually, I feel so powerless and humble. I used to think that with mind power, knowledge and will, man can do anything. "




OK. here's what happened to him once he gets back to civilisation.

He is mentally paralysed by civilisation and urbANISATION!!!!
lol. he's trying to mimick the NBS Human resource management cow. I love the caption i had for this pic on facebook.
"HR cow and it's calf"


Here's the people who summoned him back.







Mama choosing what to wear tommorow. And the judging panel was bored.








OK here's the "next day"
The reason why these people are so excited and had summoned the sad boy home to singapura.
















Then they had some fun with the hat....









And they had some fun with the cow...












OVERALL, this whole event made them a very happy couple.



(but the food SUX)

SMOKIN HOT




THIS, is SMOKIN HOT.













AND THIS! IS FATALLY CUTE!!!!
TOO CUTE to be found abandoned in Singapore construction site!
At least should be found abandoned in Japan construction site lo.




Awwww.....~ If you have a big house.....................ADOPT ME! THen I can adopt this cute angel! 

The thought of it growing big and strong is so nice! I want!

有手机就得对人随时做出反应与回答,迟到的回应还得交待,

这样的责任对我而言不是理所当然的。

我不喜欢。


回复简讯对我来说不是立刻的。

我需要时间用心地想,思考,决定。

我不能边做一件事,边思考。 因为对我这种脑来说,什么事都得思考。
Can't Multitask at all. PLUS 我一分神就会把思绪忘得一干二净。

或许这表示我这种人需要很多时间来做很少事。 但是我保证,每件事我都用心地做。

我不喜欢科技这样催着我走。很烦。很他妈的烦。

我就是喜欢看东西看很久。有时候看很久还是看得不如别人清楚,细腻。我一点都不介意,这不是智障。我有很好的眼睛,世界有很漂亮的东西和事情。
我享受看东西看很久。
这是我生活的方式。

我有时候会有很不方便的想法。

像是想让所有有知觉,会痛会难受,会高兴会满足,会这样的动物,我都想让它吃得饱,睡在温暖的地方,在安全的地方度过短短的人生。

当然,这些动物也包括我的家人和朋友。我不是只关心猫狗。只是猫狗都会满足,而很多人都不会。所以我只有信心帮它们得到快乐。

如果你吃得饱,谁在温暖的地方,在安全的环境过着日子,请你不要觉得我为这些猫猫狗狗做那么多事很无聊。
因为我有信心让它们度过快乐的一生。

我没有任何信心让任何人一辈子快乐。
让人开心大笑的笑话我会说。我真得很会说。人家笑了,我也真得很开心。当然很多时候自己也觉得很好笑,所以是一起笑的。但是为小动物寻找一个安全的家更有意义,因为走向快乐的通道它们已经懂了,就是知足。

我也是人,我知道,人比较难知足。
可能因为比较聪明,可能因为比较emo。
可能因为比较复杂。

没有怪任何觉得我很无聊的人,包括我的家人,和我的朋友。
可是很多时候很无奈,很烦。

请相信我。
我看小动物,我看了很久,我用我很慢的头脑看了很久,想了很久。
它们真的有知觉,有想法。
同样的情况,换你去承受,你的痛,你的不喜欢,它们也有,同样地有。
不会因为它是猫,是狗,而不痛。

请你相信我,从而尊重我。

因为我很确定,我要过这样的生活。




Cassie(white) and Brandon


Ah sor, Mao porpor's sidekick caregiver found these two kittens abandoned at same place the brothers were abandoned. There's a skatepark nearby. They ran there and hid on the tree, refused to come down. Seeing a thunderstorm approaching and the frightened kittens sticking their butts on the tree, Ah sor climbed a bit (I looked at the tree, I dunno how she did it!!) and got them. They keep screaming until she put them in a box. Upon knowing that they're safe, they stopped the noise-making and slept. Lan is supposed to adopt the brothers, but due to white face's surgery, I din't know how long the adoption will be postponed and hence recommended Lan to adopt Cas and Bran instead, cause they need home more urgently. That park is home to many huge adult cats and they are not friendly to these little ones. Lan was nice, upon seeing the photos that i mms him, he agreed to adopt them. It was a big thing cause he's been interested in adopting specifically the brothers since the post went up.

Looking at the shaky video Lan posted on his blog with cassie eating, switch over to drink, and back to eat and back to drink...aww..

All the quirks came out. When one of them finish does the business, the other one will jump in the litterpan and start burying the "business" with the "businessman". lol.


=) Cute stuffs. ok. Gd night. =)

A GREY ENTRY

ADOPTION POST FOR A GANG OF CATS
[ They all stay in a rented one-room flat in Toa Payoh with an old lady. She brought these cats home, picking them up with a number of places. Lots of them were abandoned. She did not spay them, and they hence reproduced. She did not bring them to the vets either, leading to many of them falling sick.

Volunteers went in some time ago and brought all the sick cats and kittens to the vet, cleaned up the place which was full of faece, and also taught the old lady how to keep the cats safe and healthy. Now that lots of them have been nursed back to health, they would need a home-sweet-home to belong to.

The 6 kittens needs home urgently. A place for them to wrestle and grow healthily into fine cats. Adult cats are also looking for home!

Kittens include: Black ninjia and sibling, Challenger(white) and siblings, Mixed Ranger.

Names inspired by the way they speed around the apartment and wrestle.
View them here!

email me at doletart@yahoo.com for adoption.
Please entitle subject of email "A gang of Kittens and Cats up for adoption"

*refer to http://pawpledge.wordpress.com/ for background story. ]


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, and so, I went to the apartment to take videos of the cats and volunteers at work. And I have to say, this gang of cats are SOOOOOOOOOO soulful and interesting! My fave couple has got to be this pair of adult black and white who chill out together on dining table all the time.

Black is always giving gazy eyes, and can get paranoid at times. White looks TOTALLY LIKE BRAIN in Pinky and the Brain!!! lol. in cat form though. looks fierce but when you sayang it, it purrsssss like a baby.

THE DOORMAN
Found abandoned at Nicoll Highway.

The Wise Master

Always looking at the kittens wrestle with a wise I've-been-through-that look.


Greedy Ginger
I forgot this one's name but it is half blind, with the working eye not working well. Full Ginger.
Despite the blindness, EXTREME GLUTTON!!!!
eateateateateateat........amazing!

THE LOVING COUPLE

White nice tail walked over and carefully detoured to go to the side of his partner, machiam dun wanna wake her up. She woke up and looked up at white. White gently lick her nose and neck. Not those agressive cleaning style, but seriously gentling and slowly, which I have never seen.
In a corner of the one room apartment they layed, grooming each other and napping together. Simply sweet. Sweetly simple.



2 RANDOM CATS

THe left one is to me the most GORGEOUS CAT I've ever seen. got biege patch design. Light crystal blue eyes. Extremely Shy. Belongs to the being-the-cupboard gang.

being-the-cupboard gang

Juxtaposition of the Junior B&W with the senior B&W.
The black and white kittens are constantly in a battle. I named them black ninjia and challenger.




BLACK NINJIA


CHALLENGER


CHALLENGER'S SIBLING

MIXED RANGER


Challanger and the other kittens were sent to the vet some time ago to be treated for various sickness, eye infection etc, and are now healthily(tribute to jasmine er) ninjia-ing around.
However, Sick grey was too ill and has yet to recover. Today when the volunteers come in, Sick grey is looking sicker than alive.


SICK GREY


Volunteers immediately phoned Super Mario the taxi driver to come over to pick up the kitten and send it to the vet. Although everyone knows that it's not going to make it, we're justa group of humans who believe in hope (I mean look at what we're doing, trying to rescue animals and rehouse them. there's so many of them out there.) So the volunteer funding this rescue decided to send it to the vet. I went along to jaga Grey and interviewed Mario while waiting for our turn.

Mario with Grey at James Tan Animal Clinic

Mario is a 64 years old taxi driver who has been volunteering to shuttle sick strays to vets. He started keeping his first cat 10 years ago. Since then, he understood how these animals do have a soul and mind just like ours. He then started picking up unsterialized strays while he drives around the island and send them to the vet. He is also a caregiver of his region. He feeds the strays there and currently has a few cats and 2 dogs in his family. He shared with me so much tips, how to get SPCA vouchers for spaying strays, free diagnose every saturday at SPCA etc.

Soon, it was Grey's turn and we went in. Head shakes after head shakes. Body temp too low, too skinny for drip, way too weak to survive. Grey was hospitalised with the team promising to "do their best". And we did what we were suggested to do, "expect the worst".

Hence, I wasn't totally shock when a call came the next day to tell me that Grey is not going to make it, but it still hurts.
Cause where you placed hope, you cared and prayed. And it sux when after all that you've put in, no magic was granted.

Grey has left us but remembering it's painful meows in the vet's while looking into my eyes, I'm glad that it's off pain now.

This post is hence in loving memory of Grey

乖乖

He lives at my void deck.
The most adorable cat ever. Good natured, never fights, hence the name. On some creepy nights, he'll accompany me up to 11th floor and walk down the stairs back to ground floor. Smart.


Went to Mrs Wong's place to shoot video for 9 abandoned kittens.
She's a retired doctor.She's taking care of a total of 200 plus cats in three places, her place, another apartment and a farm in Johor. Her place was filled with cats.

This was only part of the floor that you're looking at.
The tables, cabinets, basins etc are also occupied by cats. So are the three rooms.
Many are handicapped and unfit for life of stray. Pawless, three legged, blinds.
It was my first encounter with such handicapped cats and I must admit that it was an eye opening experience. Handicapped cats are very protective and fierce because of their disadvantage. It took humane trap, and a lot of effort for her to capture these cats and bring them home to nurse. Slowly, she earns their trust and this kitties learn to be sayang, and to accept human love. Right now, the handicapps in her place are all friendly and active like the abled ones.

Here's one of my fave cat.
White with one spot of light brown.
Climbed up my lap and laid down machiam is her bed.



I'm making a short documentary about Mrs Wong's apartment.
Main aim is to let people know more about handicap cats and encourage people to rescue them when they come across this poor cats.

Also, all the cats are up for adoption. It's seriously crowded in there.

I'd love to help lives with the skill I have. Why cats? Because I ike their candidness. They don't speak, but I find them somehow much easier to trust and understand. And much easier to help. Food, water, sayang and toys, and they will be perfectly happy. Isn't this a very achievable happiness that we can bring?
With my current 22 years on earth, I am still not up to it to handle humans. I'll start here, with these little ones, and hope they bring me to the bigger world of my human race. I hope by then, I will come to understand more, love more, and feel a better world.

watch out for the short docu! which won't come that soon la.

After Mrs Wong's place, I rushed back to bedok to jaga the adoption of 2 newly abandoned kittens, quite old le, like 2 months perhaps. One pure white one grey. Only took pic of the white one.


Kitties go new homes after the dramatic day of hokkien mee aunty climbing tree to catch it before the thunderstorm hits and bring them home in the box. lol. poor aunty, got scratched big time. haha.

Alright, this post is for 120709. belated.

Visit the Showcase if you happen to be hanging out at PS, cathay or area around there.

Timbre there is a nice chill out spot. May like to hit Timbre after that. (courtesy of MaMoMee)
2AM in the morning, I was checking email.
=)

Good news, quite a list of adopters contacted me about the kittens. Seems like kitties will get new home soon. YAY!

Was rejoicing and SUDDENLY...




A loud bang was heard coming from the kitchen....



I bravely moved over to the kitchen....


Switched on the lights.....and SAW



The Mystery of the moving Red Chair!!!!

How did the red chair moved there by itself??!???
Then i realised this....




Salon's new toy whereby I can fling the ball, which is attached to end of string, while salon dashs madly to grab the ball ball with bell bell and feathers. Due to the elastic nature of the white string, the ball shoots fast and furious when the cat releases it. Which then, will set off another round of tokyo drift. This visious cycle keeps my cat very occupied and excited and happy. She can get quite bored when I'm not around since she's my only child. Apparently, I was very lazy flinging the toy here to there and here to there and decided to cleverly stuff the stick into the hole, letting out the ballball so that salon can play with herself. Must have forgotten to take it out. SO this silly but gorgeous cimbo pulled the ball and dashed, dragging the chair along. Resulting in the long sound previously heard by me. Here's a pic of the culprit on scene of crime.








Phew. Ok, since I'm here might as well share some gd and bad experience of the day.

Basically I had a extremely long day, waking up at 6am to go swimming, breakfast blablabla. By 11 plus, I was at FU LU SHOU and my great ex roomie/ fren-4eva came to hang out. We had lunch at V8 Cafe at parco bugic junction and little did I know that I was about to experience a life changing moment.

CHAPTER ONE - Chicken Baked Rice of My Life

I tasted the most delicious Chicken Baked Rice in my world.





Very very well done. Cheese was gd, chicken was well marinated and pre cooked. Included crispy chicken skin, which is the part that i admire the most, because it really made such a huge different both in the texture and layering of the cuisine and it provided a very good contrast from the thick layer of cheese. If there is one thing that I have to demerit from the dish, it will be that it is overall a little too salty. I have a low threshold for salt though, so it may actually be just nice kind for you. It was so nice that I din't wanna waste any bit of it. I asked for a container to pack the remainder, about 1/4 ba, and the sweet waitress helpfully helped me pack it into a nice container with spoon and fork and all put into a plastic bag. When you go during lunch, order any main course and you will get complimentary soup and drink. I spent about like 11 bucks for this meal. Very good service, ambience is casual and just nice for a chatty bunch of friends. I will definately return. =)


CHAPTER TWO - THE DRINK COUPONS THAT ALMOST WRECKED MY NIGHT

It was no joke waiting to enter ZIRCA for musical tribute for Michael Jackson. The queue was longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg....

This is like, half cleared, still so longggggggggggggggggggg.
Ok, what kept us going was 2 free drinks and MJ's songs. But guess what?? When we finally got in, I hit the bar to grab some drinks and was told that the drinks coupons only covers coke, sprite, cranberry juice, orange juice. WHAT?! Like that 好意思call drink coupon ah? Pissed and deprieved, the alcoholic cat and friends left for ladies night's promotions to alcoholise ourselves. Gave fashion bar a second chance. Still sux. No menu, no ladies night specials. So we left again, and decided to hit one of SG's most lovely place Azzucar! Latin Soul Party. We got so much more than we asked for. Ladies night here was free flow champange for all ladies throughout the night! And mind you we're talking abotu tasty champange here! And the band is sooooooooooooo goooooooooddddddddddddddd....=)

3/5 of us hit the dancefloor and I was like, sweating big time after the workout. Glad to see Zhip's relief from stress from work and Chup drunk. Photos taken at the toilet door, which is a full mirrorrrr.



ok. before i say gd night, i'll throw in some random pics from day before yesterday.
