Misrepresentation

The cat's outta the bag

~*~*~*The cat's outta the bag*~*~*~

Yups...The queen found out about Joshua a few days ago.

I was totally unprepared when she asked me ,"Girl, are you keeping a cat?" For a split second, i didnt know what to say. All i did was nod..and then explained to her that i'm only keeping Joshua for a while until my colleague, Sharifah can take him in.

Yups guys, the good news is Sharifah and her hubby have agreed to adopt Joshua. The bad news is it's not gonna happen anytime soon. As the two of them are moving into their lovenest only in end Feb/early March, Josh will have to be with me till then. But now that mum found out about Josh, it's pretty tough to do so.

And you know how my mum found out about Josh? So not worth it man! I thought Xiao Bai's visits every morning would have given Josh away...but no! It was my maid. What happened was...mum wanted to throw away Josh's food in the fridge and my maid told her not to. Upon further interrogation, my maid spilled everything. Apa-lah!

So i negotiated with mum. Finally, she relented as i promised her that it's a temporary thing. She's really worried that i might get too attached to Josh and keep him permanently. phew....

That's all for this week fellas. Have a good weekend!

Queen's birthday

~*~*~*Queen's birthday*~*~*~

~Of dogs and cats~

~*~*~*Of dogs and cats*~*~*~

Lots of ppl have been asking me if dogs and cats can actually live under the same roof. And my answer is always a big fat YES.

Look at how Husky is such a nice brother to Cyon, Ruby, Pinko and Goldie.

Husky and Ruby

Ruby licking Husky..Damn sweet!

~*~*~*~*~

Now, look at how Xiao Bai (my shihtzu) is so protective over lil Joshua.

Every morning, my Xiao Bai will jump over the lil fence (we block the entrance of the stairs by putting one of those fence thingy to stop my dogs from running up the stairs and sabo-ing the furniture...ya, i have 2 alpha males who wanna mark their territory and another little boy -CJay very eager to copy their every movement).


Xiao Bai will run up the stairs and sit right in front of Joshua's cage. He'll wait for me to open the cage and feed Josh. After makan, Josh will run around the area and Bai will be following Josh. At first, the lil kitty was a lil sceptical about Bai's presence. Now, they're like close buds man!

So cute =)

Just look at the pictures..They speak volumes about how dogs and cats can and do live happily together.

i hope you enjoy these piccies as much as i do.

These two are just the most playful duo. Xiao Bai is so engrossed with Joshua that you can barely see his facial expression. He didnt even wanna pose for the camera :P

I love unwinding with my pets. It's the perfect way to end or start the day!

First wedding of the year

~*~*First wedding of the year*~*~

Attended Sook Phein and Hien Lin's wedding reception on the 1st week of 2007.

It was definitely the first wedding of the year for me.

Phein was my classmate in high school but we only got to know each other much much better and became close buddies during our years in Monash (Clayton) where we lived in the halls of residence. Phein, U Li, Ai Fong, and i were cooking buddies. Phein will cook with U Li whilst Ai Fong and i will do the washing and vice versa.

Now that i recall back...Gosh, i miss our curries and bak kut teh man during winter la! =)

Okieokie...back to the wedding.

It was held in KL Hilton, one of my fave hotels. You can always to bump into "atas" ppl here. What with Zeta Bar around...Yes, i love ppl watching. Who doesnt?

i like their wedding favour and the box it comes with...

love the white choc very much. the filling inside tasted like mango.

took this picture near the entrance of zeta bar. this is about as close as i can get to taking a picture with the twin towers as the background.

made this gown using thai silk when i was in bangkok with the gals last year.

With galfrens from high school, Sri Aman.

Standing L-R: San, Me, Kue Peng
Seated L-R: Phaik May, Ju Ann

The gals have been assigned to man the registration table for the bride. Therefore, we were cam-whoring around the area until most of the guests arrived.

Me and my best friend, Sook San.

San's currently studying her PhD in Biomedical Science at Melbourne Uni. Miss her a great deal as i only get to see her once a year. She's got 3 more years till the completion of her course. San, i miss having someone to talk to. Thanks for being my best friend for so many years...XOXO

My galfrens with beauty and brains.

Ju Ann's now a doctor, San's obtained the pretigious Prime Minister Award to pursue her PhD with UniMelb, and Kuep (always the first in our class, 5ST1) is now pursuing her Masters in US. Am very proud of you gals.




Accessories on the registration table

a bowl of gold fish and lotsa rose petals..

this is the box where we collect all the angpow packets

more roses... =)

couldnt resist ~ wanted to take this flower ball home. :P

Here comes the bride.

Congratulations to you, Sook Phein and Hien Lin!
Woman you look absolutely stunning!

The groom did something amazing that night. We were told that he'll be donating all the proceeds of his angpows that night to charity. Thank you Hien Lin, that's very noble of you.

got this bouquet from one of the bridemaids, Hung Yen.

What a small world!I didnt expect to meet my ex-colleague, Kar Yee here.

She spotted me cos i went up to the stage to give a stalk of flower to the singer (Sharizat, also the emcee for the night). Kar Yee is actually the sister-in-law to Vincent (Sook Phein's bro).

And...I actually attended Vincent's wedding few years back. Funny how some ppl are connected that way...

Was seated with frens from Monash. We were all from Richardson Halls.

Standing L-R: Wai Ho, Leona's bf.
Seated L-R: Wai Ho's wife, Leona, me, Ai Fong

Friends since primary school: Aifie, Mei Ching, me.

Mei Ching is actually the wedding co-ordinator for Phein. She's currently working as a conference producer. She's recently gotten married last year and since then, she's discovered her passion in wedding preparation and planning.

This event is a first for her and i'm sure they'll be many more in the near future. Feel free to check out her blog if you wish to suss out more information as to what to do/not to do/how to prepare for your wedding.

What's a wedding without the occasional "yum seng"?

Dear Phein and hubby, I wish the both of you a life filled with happiness and contentment.
May your love for each other be renewed everyday. Cherish and love each other as when you first fell in love.

cheers!
Ven

Thank you AirAsia

~*~*~*Thank you AirAsia*~*~*~

Merci beaucoup Monsieur Tony Fernandez!

Went out with my cheemuis last friday for our AGM at Starbucks, Mont Kiara. We were gonna discuss and try to find a date where we can all go on a girlie trip together.

We decided on Hanoi, but it's fully booked. So was Macau. =(

Kept trying and trying, but nothing seems to be available during the period that we could go.

In the end, we decided to go to an island somewhere here in Msia instead. Mon suggested Perhentian island. So off we went clicking on Kota Bharu... And we managed to secure 4 free tickets to Kota Bharu in July.. wooOoo HooOo..How cool is that!

Do you have any suggestion which resort we should book ourselves into? Also, which is better...Perhentian Besar or Perhentian Kecil?

Karaoke marathon

~*~*~*Karaoke marathon*~*~*~

Havent done this in ages.

Yeah, i went for like a 5 hrs + karaokie marathon at Red box, the Curve with Sook San, Shuk Yee and Chee Yong last Saturday. Started at 10:30pm and lasted till 4am.

Madness!

We were definitely a kiasu lot. Considering the options given to us, we chose the birthday package (even though, none of us was celebrating our bday anytime soon). Total came up to RM250+.

The package included 3 jugs of beer, a plate of fruits, a birthday cake, and 1 bottle of sparkling grape juice. Haha..not bad at all!

There were only 4 of us, and we practically sang ourselves silly. Had lotsa chances to pick songs that we normally wont sing in a big group.

I chose Utada Hikaru's First Love <-- thank God they provided the lyrics in romaji. Sang damn a lot of Faye Wong's songs too ...sang puas-puas. Now, i may not know how to read Mandarin well, but that doesnt mean i kenot sing in Chinese okie? I memorise kao kao liao. :P

The fun part came when we sang a medley which started off with "Lady Marmalade", then to "I will survive". Damn high man.

Was damn surprised that they have our Kylie Minogue classic "I should be so lucky", so funny singing a song i used to boogie to when i was a 10 year old kid. Nearly did the loco-motion as well.

Also, what would a girlie karaoke session be (sorry Chee Yong :P) without "Eternal Flame" , "Yesterday Once More" and "Superwoman"...gosh girls, we should do this again.

Ppl, would you agree with me when i say that Teresa Teng's "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin" (The moon represents my heart) is a song that every banana knows how to sing.

Updates on Joshua

~*~*Updates on Joshua*~*~

Remember i told you that i'll be bringing Joshua to my vet for boarding? Well, i took him home instead :P

What happened eh? Oh well, when i was waiting for the dr, lil Joshua was very playful and affectionate with me. He was looking a lot better as compared to the day before.

Dr Francis did a check on him and according to him, Joshua's heart rate is normal, lungs normal, no fracture. Everything's looking well. Woohoo.

Dr said i could leave him there, but the vet will close at 7pm and will re-open the following day at 10am. And i was thinking that the poor fella will probably be hungry and i din wanna give him more stress already.

Smuggled him home..and boy, was he happy. By night time, he has learned how to eat off my hand. Initially, we had to force feed him. Woohoo...that's an achievement. =)

Until today, mum still doesn't know that lil Josh is upstairs. I put him besides where Caryn keeps her hamsters. hehe

Day 3

By day 3 he was very inquisitive. He started sniffing around and sussing the living room area.

Very cute la!! I am in lurve with the lil fella already!

By evening, he was prancing around, hopping and playing peek-a-boo. Even my sisters are happily watching him play.

His appetite is growing man. This lil fella gobble down the entire serving of tuna fish. Not bad at all!

found him lying like this in the morning. kawai desu ne!

Josh is quite a curious lil fella

he's checking out Claudine's whiteboard. Josh also wanna belajar!

Josh has got really cute beady eyes. Too bad the blue colour isnt obvious here.

Josh enjoys a good tummy rub!

hamster hunting..hehe

Day 4

Tugging at a towel. SOoo naughty

Peek-a-boo =)

Project kitty kat

~*~*~*Project kitty kat*~*~*~

I'm asking all of you, yes you, to please pray for this kitty kat.

My colleague, Esmond first showed me the litter a few days ago. Yup, we have another litter again! There are lots of cats hanging out at the emergency stairwell in our carpark.

I really fear and worry for these mother cats and their kitties. There are just too many of them here. I worry that whenever the mummy cat goes out to scour for food, she get bangs by a car or something and never come back again.

Okay, back to the cats....

Christine, Esmond and i have been going to feed the mother cat on a daily basis. So yesterday, when we were there. The mummy cat wasn't there. She has actually brought the 3 kitties up a flight of stairs and we were worried that the kitties might fall off outta the window as they're pretty near the place.

So we decided to move the kittens to their normal place, where it is safe.

Oh, what a terrible mistake we've done! As soon as Esmond put the little kitty down, he scuttled away really quickly..

And...he was so near the edge of the stairs. I was practically frozen and told Esmond to quickly rescue the kitty. He was pretty far away..and he said, "dun worry, they'll know and will stop and sniff..not likely to fall"...

Before he could finish the sentence, the kitty lost its grasp and fell.

I really regret not rushing to try to grab the kitty. I was also worried that when i rushed over, i might have frightened the kitty and he'll fall from fright.

Oh my goodness, he fell down one flight of stairs. I was so traumatised from seeing the whole thing transpiring in front of my eyes..that i couldnt move at all.

Esmond rushed down to assess the situation. The lil kitty seem to be alive and he seems to have hurt his legs.

Christine and i then rush him to the doctor in SS17 (Healing Rooms, part of Pets Wonderland).

We had a really good doctor, he was very understanding and dedicated. Dr Vijayndra told us that he'd have to run a couple of test to assess the damage. We're not sure if there's any internal injurys like damage to the nervous systems, spinal chord, bladder rupture, etc.

Dr Vijay checking on the little boy

He also told us that cats are very hardy creature and can miraculously get well too. This is what we're hoping for. A miracle. And i'm asking for all of you to please pray for this little kitty to heal completely.

He prescribed some medication to prevent swelling and bleeding and told us that we would have to monitor the kitty for 3 days to see if there's any improvements or not.

Christine and i were frantically calling friends if they wanna adopt the kitty as the 2 of us are not able to adopt the kitty. I have 4 dogs at home and i'm mostly not use these days. As for Christine, there's no one at home as well.

So therefore, i appeal to you ...if you could, please pass this along to whoever who loves animals and see if they're willing to adopt this little sweetie pie.

So where's the kitty now you ask?

We took him back to the office...Esmond and Christine fed him. While i cleaned his poo-poo. Was shocked when i saw blood in the poo. Called Dr Vijay, he said if he bleeds again, we need to stop the medication immediately.

I went back to the office at around 10:30pm (after gym) to feed kitty his medication and some food. He was meowing on and off. Poor thing. I think he probably scared, lonely and in pain.

Stayed for a while to calm the lil kitty and gave him some tlc. Left the office at about 11:45pm. He'll be staying overnight at the office.

Day 2

The lil kitty was meowing pretty loud this morning. We were worried that our management might find out.

Glad to know that he's not vomitting or showing signs of diarrhea as those are NOT GOod signs!

He's also eating as well. =) Thank you Lord!

I plan to bring him to the vet for boarding this weekend if we haven't found him a new home by this evening.

Christine and i are still trying to look for a good home for this kitty. So, if you know of anyone with a kind loving heart. Please let me know.

We've just christened the kitten and named him lil Joshua. He is really cute and so adorable. Lil Josh has a white greyish coat with blue eyes. He's got the cutest beady eyes i've ever seen. Trust me, you'll fall in love with him.

This is the box we put lil Josh in when we sent him to the vet.

day 2: lil Josh is getting better. =)

our small bundle of joy

Email me to let me know if you wanna adopt lil Josh. CarrieTangvl@gmail.com

Thanks!
