In memory of Vesak: 31 May to 29 July 2007



Vesak had crossed The Raindow Bridge to join her elder sister, Pong Pong.
Her bill stating her condition said:
29-9-07 Epilepsy - not responsive to resuscitation - passed away.

Sister and I had seen Vesak for the last time alive at 1.00 pm. We stayed with her for around 40 min. She had cried for us and keep moving toward the door. She want to leave the smelly clinic. But she cannot. She is dehadated, sister said we do not have a choice.

When i reached home at 1 plus, i told mum about Vesak whom is very sad. We had planned to go to Chinatown and at 4 plus while travelling in a bus, i received a call from pet clinic. I cannot hear what the nurse was saying as it was very noisy in the bus so i asked the nurse that i would returned the call later. Mum and I had a real bad feeling. We are prepared to hear the bad news.

When i called, i am told that Vesak had a fit and cannot wake up. She had passed away. Mum and I then rushed to the clinic to collect Vesak body. I thought the vet will pack Vesak body in a plastic bag but he allowed us to take one last look at Vesak. Poor mum burst into tears when she saw Vesak body. I did not cried at all. I guess i had cried earlier when i post the topic on 'Poor Vesak'. I guess i am mentally prepared. I did not shed one tear at all. I pat Vesak for one last time and said to her "Rest in Peace, Vesak".
Vet suggested that since blood test is normal, Vesak could have a brain nerve disorder. Vet said shortly after we left the clinic at 1.45 pm, Vesak had a fit and died. I guess Vesak wanted to see us one last time before she entered Rainbow bridge.


We had asked Vincent to help us bury Vesak in the soil to rest. Right now, Vesak body is still outside our doorstep. I had let Xiami and Ah go go say one last goodbye to their friend from the gate.Xiami and Ah go go will feel it strange that their sister Vesak had gone missing but i cannot explain to them (if only i know cat language) that their little sister Vesak had entered another world to join Pong Pong.

Vesak entered our household at Vesak day this year. She had four months of happiness in our family and we are proud to have her in our house.Unlike Pong Pong where i cried like mad, this time round, i am prepared for the death. I felt sad for the loss but if Vesak choose to end her life today, she will need to go. And I am not crying when i posted this unlike The pong pong topic post again. Actually i felt a heave of relief - at least Vesak can end her suffering on Earth. I am glad to be able to see her alive for the last time. Seeing Vesak this afternoon, i sort of knew that she will leave us soon but i said telling Vesak that she must be strong. Maybe leaving this world will make Vesak ended her pain, maybe she will have a better afterlife rather than to be a cat. Vesak is strong. She had endure her suffering to see her owners for the last time. I am very proud to have her for this whole four months.

R.I.P. Vesak.

Poor Little Vesak



Yesterday, sister just sent vesak to the vet where Vesak was hosipitalised and put on drips. Today, sister and i went to vist her. Her condition is not very good. Vet said that normally cat on 1 bag of drip should started to eat the next day but Vesak still refused to eat. I am extremely sad for Vesak. I do not want to lose her but my mind of sort of prepared for this. Vesak meowed at us when we wanted to leave so we pat her more and ask her to be strong. When i wanted to carry her on my hand, she screamed. I put her down.

Is she in pain? I guess so. What a lovely cat with such a sweet temper, why must this happen to her? She never meow at us except to ask us to let her out for freedom. Her best friends, Ah go go and DD are all waiting for her to recover.

It is not use worrying, i know but it is very sad for me, sister and mum. We really cannot bear for her to leave us............ we can only pray....

Poor Vesak is ill...





Poor Vesak is ill. If u read sister blog about that disgusting worm, you will take heed to deworm ur cat. Vesak got her flu from Ah gogo. Ah gogo had recovered but poor Vesak is still ill. The flu started on last week. Vesak refused to eat on Tue. Yesterday, wednesday, she vomitted but sister had force fed her water.

Today, Vesak took a few slip of the water herself. The medicine and water fed to her today is not vomitted out so hopefully this is the first sign of recovering. Her body do not feel as warm as yesterday so i think her fever is gone. I am feeding her glocolin quite frequently as i do not want her to be dehydrated. Yesterday we were very worried about Vesak frequent vomitting. We are thinking of sending her to the vet for drips if her condition did not improve. Luckily, today, she can drink some water of her own will.

I am thinking about our Rainbow bridge cat, Pong Pong whom died last year from a high fever and repeated vomitting. I am thinking about poor pong pong in drips and in the clinic, thinking that her owner had once agian abandoned her.... SO THEREFORE, i do not really want Vesak to go to the vet for drips.

I hope That Vesak can eat some food tml. She still refused to eat food today but with glocolin, at least she got something in her. Let all pray for little little Vesak.

Look at my big eyes

I knew that i am late in saying this in my blog as sister had already posted about xiami in her blog.

Xiami had her surgery on Monday. Dad and mum bought her home at around 7 plus. When xiami was home, i opened her carrier to take a good look at her. She run out of her carrier and walked shaking right and left as sister said 'like drunken'. I tried to put her back into her carrier for fear that she wil fall to the floor should she attempt to jump on the table or bed. Xiami cried very loudly when i pushed her into the carrier. Out of no choice, i had to let her go her own way.

Once she is out, she went to find water to drink. Xiami daily activities are not disrupted by her 'big head'. Unlike DD whom refused to move, eat or drink, xiami still jump around on the table, jump on my bed in morning, eat and drink normally.

Big head need to stay with xiami for 11 more days.



On my bed.... staring.... and wondering what's up?



Look! i got nice eye lashes....


Drink and Drink

Sweetie: Not fun at all.... next time, i will hide elsewhere... rememeber to 'rescue' me later hor... i do not want to be put in the recycling bin.

Xiami Baby Girl



Here is xiami sleeping on my pillow



Xiami had put on quite a bit of weight since sister rescued her from ECP in Jan.



Xiami with one big one small eyes. The smaller eye is her infected eye.


Unfortunately, her eye problem is still with her despite her eye surgery to try to correct her eye lashes from growing into her inner eyes. The vet had said that the eye problem will still occur until her eye lashes grow longer. But it is been quite long since her surgery. The vet also mentioned that her eyelashes may need to be plucked if the problem still occur.

Anyway, xiami is now a 富贵猫.
She sleep on my bed in the afternoon, sleep at the study desk at night.
She jump on my bed every morning to 'beg' for food.
She rub me and meow at me for food.
She stand on my bed to see her past world outside and think how lucky she is to be rescued.
She tried to play with my blusher brush every morning.
She play with a simple rubber band for hours.
She play with Ah-go go (Ah Du) and DD for company.
She grow from XS to XXL.
And best of all, she now had her own pink cat collar, giving her status that she is now our house cat.

My second night Getai performance @ AMK B527

Yesterday, Mum and I went to watch Getai @ AMK B527. The host was 600 (liu Ling Ling). I am very happy watching her performance.

Here is why i love to watch only getai by 600:

1) 600 is very talented - able to sing very good hokkien
2) She is very comical
3) She can connect well to the audience. Unlike other performers whom only face the front of the stage while singing, Liu Ling Ling actually turned to the left and right side of the stage and sing to the audience. Mum and I was at the side of the stage.
4) She show sincere smile when she was downstage signing her signature on her CD and taking photos with her fans. She is actually very beautiful despite her heavy weight.
5) She dare to perform all types of performance - not caring abt self-image. She dare to change her clothes on the stage, mess up her hair on stage.

I am not really a fan of her till yesterday where i see her real 'HER'. For yesterday performance, she sung: No 3 mummy, 881十二莲花 and another hokkein song. She was extremely funny while singing 881 十二莲花 . She actually messed up her hair while singing this song as she was casting as little papaya in 881 whom is dying of caner. She sat on a chair and turned full circle round the chair while singing this song. I am amazed that she can still turn so many circles while singing. No 3 mummy is a song that she wrote for the late chen jinlang. No 3 mummy told the story of how 舞女 become a mamasan and her life in the dark circle.

Mum bought '600' DVD but she said that it was not as good as last year CDs. Mum also managed to get 600 to sign on the DVD.

My first getai show for this year @ AMK Blk 543

I was at AMK B543 watching getai yesterday night. It was a last minute decision. Mum asked me if i wanted to go to watch 600 (liu ling ling) getai at AMK B543. I just said ok lol.

When we reached there, it was 人山人海. I cannot see the performance but i can hear loud and clear what 600 was saying. I really love 600 - funny, quick-thinking and full of fun. The way she talked really make the whole performance outstanding.

I manged to get a look at 600 - only a bit at the stage somehow. There were heads everywhere and the stage was at tiny area. If the stage was at a open field, we can see what the performers were doing.

For yesterday performers, i only know 'xiao mingzhu sister'. The rest i did not know them or bother to know as i do not really enjoy their performance. The only person that i like is 660 so that is the reason why i went out with mum at close to 9pm to watch getai at AMK 543. Mum was saying how little dressed a Chine performer was wearing --- eye candy for man but ***puke puke*** for mum and me.

I will be helping at my company 'zhong yuan jie' this sunday. excited as i will get to know more about how zhong yuan jie is done, this is my first time involving in a 7th month zhong yuan jie. Feel tired as i heard that after the auction, we need to clear everything till very late. Happy as we will get 'big hongbao'... hee....

SHE - 中国话 and 台湾话

Jennifer say:


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I was showing mum Hokkein video songs in youtube when i came across SHE latest song, 中国话. I was very surprised to see another version of that song that is called 台湾话. The taiwan version was modified by another person and sing by an unknown person called JC.

I do love the taiwan version better as it is more related to the popular Hokkein folk songs that my mum love to play and i love to hear.


台湾话 by JC

At last, there is finally a getai movie

Jennifer say:


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I had not watched 881 but i think it is a good movie from the numerous reviews on newspaper. i think i should wait for the VCD instead

I felt that this movie is nice because:

Firstly, it reflect how getai work in singapore....

Secondly, it make people appreciate their dialect more - in this case, if u noticed, getai songs are always in Hokkein and i can understand hokkein...

Thirdly, it make me love hokkein songs as well.

I esp love this song that i heard on youtube:


This is sung by a Malaysian singer, xiao fengfeng. The song said the life of an ill-fated woman using lotus sing in 12 months, one lotus for each month saying how hard and difficult life is for the woman.

Actually mum got dozens of CD from taiwan and singapore Hokkein singers. Mum's favourite singer is the late 'Chen Jinlang' that was very famous in Getai too till his death last year from cancer. If u read the news, 881 - the movie is dedicated to the late chen jinlang. I wonder why mum's favourite hokkein singer is not the 'mingzhu sisters' that helped to sing the songs in 881 for the characters of the Papaya sisters. Frankly speaking, i did not listen to any songs sung by mingzhu sister until this movie came out. I remember in one interview, one of the producers of 881 said that mingzhu sister produced CDs that are more than the now popular sun yanzi. I am now "huh, is it so? how come i do not really remember their songs".


The thing about Understand Hokkein and listening to Hokkein songs are two different things - i can under what ppl speak in Hokkein but when songs are concerned, i can only half-understand the songs. The subtitle really help a lot.

The song from 881 is really nice - bit of hokkein and lot sing in chinese.

My self-made Shirt-folding cardboard



My first non-impressive Shirt-Folding cardboard. I admit it looked very ugly but the end result is very satisfying



Folding- Flip the right, open - Flip the left, open, Flip the centre, open and u are done


(Picture removed due to 'mum disapproval' ha ha)

I tried it on mum mountains of clothes and i am very impressed with my own result. From this mess to

THIS, see how neat the shirts are arranged. I found that once the clothes are neat, you can even add more clothes on top of your current ones. This is because the cardboard ensure that every shirts u fold are of the same size. It looke so pro..ha ha...





I learnt how to make one from this video clip:



One thing to warn you, the measurement i discovered are not very accurate. I had to take out the tape a few times before i get it right.

Try use trial and error.. as long as you had a bigger centre piece, followed the right-left flip, the centre area that take the shape of how ur shirt will looked like once it is fold.

The area of the left and right flip MUST always be smaller than ur width of your whole shirt so you will have some clothes for you to flip when u close the right and left flip on ur T-shirt. (do not know how to explain properly but once u see the video and started on the actual project, you will know what am i saying)

WARNING: Keep all cats away from your cardboard or they will think it is their new cat scratching post.
