At midday today, there was a terrible racket outside my house. The dogs on the whole street were at their best at howling and barking their lungs off! After twenty minutes of trying to convince my dog to keep quiet, I coudn't take it anymore. Standing in my porch, I stopped to look out for the cause and realised there was a puppy's cry amidst the whole racket.

A year has passed since you left us,
Taken to a better place we like to believe.
Free from all kinds of pain and abuse,
Anguish, stress and loyalties.
We watched you slowly waste away,
You fought so hard to stay alive.
Your eventual silence given in to speech impediment,
Your spirit ebbing with each added weakness.
Time heals all wounds... we often hear said,

We still had nuns and the head mistress was a very stern red head Irish woman with small beady eyes peering at you through small frames with sharp edges..... well, at least that's how I remember her. Sister Florence she was and God give you strength if she ever catches you doing anything wrong.

Yes, the idea of 2 in 1 is no sugar but this brand does not have enough creamer and I love extra creamer in my coffee which led me to purchase Coffeemate.

As we arrived at the funeral parlour without any traffic problems or lost somewhere along the way, we saw a small crowd at Room F. Checking for my packet of tissues....we slowly walked with heavy hearts to pay our last respects to a very lovely friend.

She said no, eat at home.
' You're cooking then?? ' I asked.
' No lah.... we brought it back from Singapore. Z's mum cooked....'

Part two : All night I laid on the sofa beside Guzz, waking every now and then to check if he was still breathing. It was so miserable to not emit any response from him but watching his listless body move gently as he breathed on. Each time I prayed for him to go as soon as possible.

I'm losing my best friend of 9 years as I type. My dear Guzz is pulling his every breath, gaspin in slow rhythm. His eyes are open, glazed and unfocused whilst his body is getting cold and slightly stiffening. He does not respond to me anymore. It's as if he is not there anymore yet his body is gaspin to breathe still.

About a week ago I asked a friend on advice in using wax for hair removal. She gave me some Veet strips and finally I decided to try them out this morning after waiting for my hair to grow a bit longer. Yes, they do take a while :)
I applied some powder she gave me on my underarms before gingerly placing the strips on.

Facebook. A fast growing popular site to find friends and check out what's happening. Everyone's posting their thoughts, feelings, notes, questions, etc and even though I now work from home, I can still catch up on what's going on with friends I used to work with. :)

Right. I am having a horrible migraine. Since yesterday.
So why am I blogging???!!
I guess I just don't want it to take over my day which as it is, has already been quite wasted with half the day
laying in bed, too painful to be in an upright position for long. Just before noon I made myself walk and take a shower and waited for lunch from mum's.

This evening, I was cleaning house after a visit from the pest control men yesterday who had moved everything away from the walls and practically disarrayed my already disarrayed furniture and stuff....it was a major clean up
as they had sprayed at the top of my walls where they meet the ceiling.

Ok, a quick one........ Once in a while I would play gin with my neighbours. We would set up the table, figure the chips and remove a set of tiles so we can play three kaki (3 players).
Last time I played I won less than RM3 and that is ok lah considering we play small.

It's already the second week of march and I feel this loss with my time as I remind myself there's so much to do still.

For some reason I kept forgetting the date and when she spoke of it yesterday, I was wondering what she was talking about. She sms-ed me this morning to remind me and believe it or not, I had forgotten..again! * eyes rolling *
