It's coming eventually

I knew that this day will eventually come since the day my mum brought Ryu home.

This morning, my mum told me that on the 24th of June, after going to grandma's house to eat, we'll go over to my aunt's place and wait for my dad there. Then, we'll bring both Shiro and Ryu to my house. In case you are wondering who they are... They are my aunt's dogs - Samoyed breed.

That is because my aunt need to go overseas for conference or training and her husband is also not in Singapore at that time.

Previously, my aunt want to go overseas holidaying and to look for her husband and suggested that we go over to her house to stay and look after Shiro (that time they haven't get Ryu). But staying at their house just doesn't seemed right. And bring the dog to my house also not right. The dog's fur is so long and my place is so hot and the fur will be flying around the place and etc.

But after my mum decided to help dog sitting Ryu that day, I knew this day will come eventually.

My aunt just need us to stay with the dogs for a night as her friend will went over to look after the dogs the following day till my aunt come back? And now my mum decide to bring them home. If there is this one more time, in near future, there will be more to come. I really don't know what my mum is thinking. *sign*

烦恼

烦恼可以作为跳板,让我们体会更深的幸福。
从佛法上来看,一切不好的经验都蕴含与好的一面。
可是,如果被苦恼所败,而抱持的只是自哀自怜,
怨天尤人等消极态度的话,[毒]将依旧是[毒]。


最近想了许多。好像发现我被许多没必要的事与物纠缠着。也许是我自己在钻牛角尖,想太多了吧。很多事可能没我想的那么糟。应该是自己想太多,想太远,在吓自己吧。想想,没尝试又怎么知道不行呢?不去尝试就不会成长。所以,应该勇于面对,勇于挑战一切而不退缩吧。不过,像我一样的人总是会加多两个字:‘可是’。

Dinner with 2 of the Lings

Yesterday evening, met up with 2 of the Lings. The other Ling can't make it due to boyfriend's birthday. So sad. It'd been months since the four of us gather together.

Other than dinner, we did nothing else except chit chat to catch up. But it had been an enjoyable evening!

Hope we'll meet up soon... Erm... tentatively said to be on Labour Day and a few swimming sessions in 2 or 3 Saturdays in May. *looking forward*

Dengue?

I just msn Ling2. I wanted to check with her if she is free on labour day to go out together. Yet, I almost forgot to ask her after she told me that her whole family is sick except her brother.

She said it might be virus flu. It was the third day of fever for her mum. Not sure about her dad and her. And she was worried it's caused by dengue fever.

3 person down with dengue? I don't know. She also told me that her boyfriend's dad got dengue before and had been in danger as the blood platelets count was almost none. OMG!

In year 2004, my dad got dengue and was admitted to hospital. And last year, I got it myself (a minor case - kind of recovered in less than 10 days without hospitalization). So I kind of know the feel. I can only chant and send prayers for them to have strong life force to recover asap. *praying* *praying*

Sweet Corns

Last night, my mum 'harvested' the sweet corn which she asked me to try planting.

Below are the photos of the 3 'corns' from 2 plants. They looked pretty weird...

Ryu - 1st time to my house

Yesterday, brought the dishwashing liquid to my 小姨姨's house cause my mum help her buy. She wasn't home when we reached there. She brought Shiro for lesson leaving Ryu home with her husband.
Her husband was going to fly off in a few hours so he just jokingly asked if we could bring Ryu home and later asked my 小姨姨 to fetch him home. Well, I kind of don't like the idea. You know... once there is a first time, there will be many more times. Plus... the fur, saliva, etc will make the house into a mess which is what my mum had been saying.

And my mum used excuse that it's going to rain and there isn't space in the lorry's 'head'. After getting back to the lorry. My mum was still thinking about Ryu coming to my house. And she told my dad about it and my dad can't refused my mum so he just merely said it's up to my mum and there goes...

My mum asked me to go up again to fetch Ryu down. *shake head*

Well, I can only say Ryu was quite well-behaved in my house. Maybe becaused that was the first time to my house. He just moved around and find a spot to rest but he seemed quite bored. But he was kind of cute. He will search for spots with 'legs' like under the table to sleep there. Even sliding under my dad's leg to sleep.



Around 6pm, Ryu started to act strange. Guess he missed his 'sister'. He keep going to the door and looked out so I brought him out for a walk.
Soon after we got back, 小姨姨 brought Shiro over. Both Shiro and Ryu were so happy to see each other that they jumped and follow each other around the place. So cute.
It may be cute to have them around. But after they had left, they also left traces of saliva and fur everywhere, on the floor, on you, etc...
At first I want to take a shower after I got home. In the end, I only had my shower after they went back.
And I know even though this is just a few hours of dog-sitting, eventually, there will be time when my house is not only a child-care center. It will going to be a dog-care center too.
