It's a sunny morning today at 9:30am after a downpour at dawn. I am now in the car outside TNB office waiting for TH to settle bills. I am now thinking of Lassie at home because it has passed his meal time and I am not home yet. Well, he will be fine, I am sure. I surfed the net last night and found out that dog can actually survive days without food but not water.
My family and I will leave for Medan tomorrow for a short holiday. We have to leave Lassie at home without food for 2 days. We have no choice because at last minute, the pet shop doesnt want to take her in for boarding because she hasnt complete all her jabs yet, haiz! But I notice Lassie has grown stronger now and her seizure is gone. So happy that she is growing beautifully too. Has imparted few training to her, she now knows how to sit, stay and shake hand, brilliant!
Dont know why this holiday to Medan is so ordinary and without much excitement like before. JW has just recovered yesterday from fever. TH and I even thought that we may have to cancel the trip at last minute if JW doesnt get well. Luckily, she recovered in time. Well, maybe the trip is not as interesting as others and there's really not much to do other than relaxing at the hotel. I hope it will be a good bonding trip and all of us will have a safe and good holiday together.

7.2.12
It's 11:09pm now and as usual in bed penning this. It's so quiet now after TH wishes me goodnite a moment ago. Before that, he handed me the yellow pages of the housing design section where we brought back from the property fair a week ago. These few days, he has been flipping the pages ardently before calling it a night. He is funny. He handed me the yellow pages and laid beside me making sure I flip through the pages like a child pestering his mom to read him a story book. So, we chatted a while about it until he was satisfied, he called it a night. Adorable! Nowadays he is so engrossed with SM. He took me to all sorts of exhibitions showcasing properties and home design. He is enjoying himself these days.
I am so happy for him. I also thanks GOD for being kind to me. I have been wishing for a pet dog and my wish is recently granted. When I worked in Taihan for almost 10 years, I always thought of having the opportunities to join a Chinese company with many colleagues for livelier environment. After resignation, I got a job at BP and had many colleagues. Again, when my sister bought a new house recently and made a little castle out of it, I thought how nice if I can have a new house to impart my ideas. Hei, it materializes too.
I think I believe I can attract what I perceive, though it may sound ridiculous. Anyway, I have GOD to thanks for all the wonderful blessings.
For now, I wish my gal will get better when she wakes up tomorrow morning. My poor gal is down with fever and she is still awake in her bed reading story books. She slept for 3 hours in the alte evening after taken her medication, so I guess she wont be able to sleep yet.

SM
19.6.12 - it's 2:09pm, while I am penning this, JW is enjoying her chan hin mee at the table. She just came back from school.
Finally, after 2 weeks of mixed feeling, at last, we will have our dream house. TH called just now , our bank loan is approved. We decided to buy a superlink house in SM with exclusive facilities and tight security after due consideration. Somehow, I had got TH very excited about this property. My initial reason was due to the kids. I thought as they grow, they may need more space more privacy meaning a bigger room for them. However, along the way, my reason was not only for the kids but for TH too. Being a retiree now, I think this big decision will keep him busy and occupied for at least few years down the road. It proves me right until now as he has been so excited preparing all the paper work and he is actually enjoying every moment of it. So happy for him. Of course I am equally happy too. I have never before make big decision and I never like changes. But this time, I was indirectly given a kick on my butt to move on. I came up with the idea, got TH all excited and now my unnecessary worries seep in and the thought of backing out got into me like usual. But how can I back out now when I initially convinced him that at our age, this is the time that we go for it and not when our age catch up and our enthusiasm and energy gets lower. More so, I have the fund to pay for the upfront right now. He bought it. Well, he will give me half of his land in Kuang for investment. With high inflation, it is wise that I should invest into property. Though we pay a premium price for it, we have nothing much to lose. It will be a dream house excellent for retirement. Let's hope we stay focus and stick to our intention by then. Properties do appreciate over time, hehehe....
Being a sentimental person, I think I will probably encounter some problems when I start to pack later on. Hope I can compromise then. As for now, I have a great mission ahead:)

Lassie, a pressure or pleasure
8.6.12 - Hmm, I now question myself. Is Lassie a pressure or pleasure? I have been quite busy and stressful these two days since she was brought back. My kids enjoy Lassie very much and I can see that they now dare to touch and hold her. I am happy for them. But, my life is quite a mess now that Lassie requires so much care and attention. I have to take care of his pee and poo, stick to his routine meals, make her bed, etc. I cannot leave sight of her. And she is quite a stubborn pup, yeah, she's a beagle after all. So my patience is tested. It's damn hard and stressful.
Actually, I realize that rearing the pup reflect the way I should my kids too. I read a lot from the website and I found out that it is the same way that I should learn to apply to my kids too. My kids deserve care and attention much more than Lassie. I am coming to my senses that I have to nurture my kids with more patience as they are still growing kids. How can I expect them to know everything an adult does. I should understand better what a growing kid needs like what I understand what a beagle need. I understand from months of study about beagles from the net. I know what beagles are like and I can tolerate them because I know that it is their nature. So what about my kids? Do I understand them? Hey I should better start reading about it, to be fair.
Lassie is still so young and she need lots of my time. I have been sleepless and stressful these past days. Hopefully she will adapt and be fine. I am worried.
Apart from my worries, I am quite amused when my kids and I always get excited about Lassie while poor TH failed to blend in. It's like he talk about one thing and we talk about Lassie and Lassie only. Hope he wont get jealous. I do feel that he begins to open up a little when I notice that he checks on Lassie once in a while and stares at her with amusement like he hasnt seen a pup plays before.
Though I am very tired, I have to make sure I wont trouble TH too much as I dont want him to feel that Lassie is a wrong decision. Me and my kids will do a good job, I believe.

Lassie Comes Home
6.6.12 - It's 1pm now and me and my family are on the NS highway heading back home with our new addition to the family, Lassie. It's our first pet dog and she is 6 weeks old. We were all anxious and also excited when she got into our car just now. But it's all calm and quiet now as her energy went low and is now sound asleep. She's adorable.
TH had to bear with the odor in the car but he didnt complain. He just wants to detour and have a meal at the famous Sg. Besi Fish Head later. Actually the pup should be heading home immediately as she needs her food and drink. But how can I say no to TH. Well, I guess it will be fine.
Lassie is extremely active. I hope she will be a great gift for the whole family. I am sure she will add joy to our lives.
To put into record, TH finally came up with the name Lassie and I think we should just let him have the say in hope that he will be part of it. He was never fond of dog.
