Update on Milo

Jul. 17th, 2009 | 11:40 pm
mood: playful playful

Short update on Milo:

He barks, bites, poops at the right spot (fortunately), and learns the command "sit". He's growing big, and doesn't like to cuddle anymore. Here comes adulthood, round the corner.

Of course, all cleaning done by Mimi. I just do the loving and playing bit. Afterall, she had the naming right!

He's a very shy dog, and tremendously dependent. Feels a little sad that we have to leave him on his own for long hours when we're at work.. Discussing with Mimi whether to put him in a dog day-care... ETA: Mimi is having a hard time toilet-training him. So far he's pooped in the kitchen, living room and MY ROOM..

Son, the choice is yours

mood: Spiritual Spiritual

At my Catholic induction class last night, Sister Elizabeth told this story:

One man, jeolous of a wise Guru, decided to test the Guru with a riddle.  Holding a closed fist to the Guru, he said:"Guess whether the bird in my hand is dead or alive?"

If the Guru answered alive, the man would crush the bird immediately, and prove the Guru wrong. If the Guru answered that the bird is dead, the man would open his fist to free the bird, and prove the Guru wrong. Either way, the Guru seemed trapped.

The Guru meditated for a long time, and said: "Son, the choice is yours."

Random Ramblings..

Jul. 1st, 2009 | 11:01 pm
mood: blah blah

Tired of being tired. But one's gotto work to pay bills. Looking forward to the day when I can work to live, not live to work. Like that guy call Madoff - he worked (hard at conning people of their life savings) to live (a lavish lifestyle), and finally retire, for 150 years, without having to lift another finger to work.

Having dinner at 11pm is so not a good thing. Thank God I've got vege stocked up to go with my instant noodles..

Getting a toy poodle on Saturday. Still apprehensive, despite reassurance from friends. They're not the TV or the computer (though some do talk to their coms..), that you can switch off whenever you like. Animals need attention and TLC. I hardly have enough time for myself, let alone pets. Before you ask why, that's Mimi's idea, not mine. And it cost us $900 for that poodle. I've a feeling I'm going to love it to bits when I meet him, but until then...

Passed by the shopping mall on my way home, and noticed that not many people are buying. In fact, most are window shopping, and few are buying. The real economy is real bad. But stocks went up like crazy for the past 3 months, pulling along house prices too. Waiting for market correction to get a 2-bedder. I need bonus... >_<" and a holiday...

ETA: Maybe I should get Mimi to donate the $900 instead, to help Charmaine fight the rare cancer. Hmm.. (News brought to my attention by Karen)

The Battle for Hope

Jun. 29th, 2009 | 09:40 pm
mood: thoughtful thoughtful

An interesting article by Dominique Moisi, a Visiting Professor at Harvard University, observing the contrasting level of collective hope/ individual fear between America and Europe. 

Collective hope is tied to the country's leadership, in how effective it rallies its people forward in times of difficulty, whilst the level of Individual fear reflects the country's system, the safety nets in place, and the assurance (perceived or real) given to its citizen when some (or all) the country's system fail. One good measurement of whether the country has provided adequate safety net is this: do majority of its citizens experience little, moderate, or tremendous fear when one loses his/her health or job? It is not easy to achieve the perfect act: on the one hand inculcating in its people the importance of work and self-sufficiency, on the other hand assuring them that they will be cared for if and when misfortune were to befall upon them. Yet Governments are not infallible. Finding support from its peope through working closely with self-help groups such as societies, charitable organisations, and private groups will help alleviate the stress placed on governments, and provide a secondary defence mechanism so essential for the country's well-being.

Damaged

Jun. 28th, 2009 | 09:42 pm
Sesame Street: home
mood: angry and sad angry and sad

There's a book by Cathy Glass, titled "Damaged", which I think no one should read.

It is a horrendous true story about a girl, now 15, who was sexually abused since she was 18 months, not only by her biological father, but her biological mother, aunt, and even strangers who paid her father a fee. When 7 year-old Jodie was taken from her parents (she set fire to her father's favourite pet dog), she was sent to Cathy who looked after her for several months. During those months, Cathy observed that Jodie would open the legs of stuffed toys and lick their private parts. Jodie also masterbated herself whilst seated in front of the TV, in the living room, She was sent to the hospital to be examined, during which she commented to Cathy that she wished the doctor was a male, because males, like daddy, had 'warm willies'. The doctor was female, and she said like her mummy and aunt, who used cold metal spoons.. and the list goes on.

I pray that children being abused right now will escape from those abusing them, into safe hands.

Funeral Blues

Aug. 29th, 2008 | 07:43 pm
mood: In the mood for love? In the mood for love?

My friend recited this poem during our pub night out: 
 Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

W.H. Auden

I'm having a new job.

Not the one I originally applied for. This job #2 came out of the blue - I didn't even send in my resume, and the partner sort of gave me a cold call as she remembered that I had expressed an interest in the job a year ago. Now how odd and aptly timed is that? I'm familiar with the area of work and have a good feeling about the people (I know most of them). Not to mention, my pay is increased by 37.5% from this current job.

That calls for a celebration!
