PLEASE FEED ME

After resting for a few days, I had decided to go out for some stroll along the neighborhood to get some food. At least I can get some exercise as well as to avoid getting more bed sores. There was something else which made me wanting to go out to celebrate as I saw Papa Jonathan, Mimi, the few strays around and the puppies happily playing outside my neighborhood. The sight made me cried in tears. I was relieved that all of them were safe from the flood few days back.

As I sat down in a little coffee house at the corner, I saw an orange tabby begging for food from one table to another. I called and she came. She was so adorable. At the same time, I could see her lips moving as if she had yet to take her dinner. It hurts my heart to see a hungry cat.

Seeing such a sight, I stood up from where I was sitting and went into the coffee house to see if I could get some fish or chicken to feed her. When I came back, she was still quietly sitting down there waiting for me. Somehow, she was deep in thought. I wondered if she was thinking that it would be another hungry day for her.

Before my order came, she was still giving that sad look. Suddenly, she did something that I would never expect a stray cat would do. I was quick enough to capture what she did to make sure that she will get some food from me. Here a little movie I have made about her. Do enjoy viewing.



As a result, she got what she wanted. I gave her a big juicy chicken drumstick! All the diners were looking at me with a kind of weird stare. I ignored them as a hungry kitty was what was on my mind then. She ought to be fed until her heart’s content…

I ALMOST GOT DROWNED!

FLOOD01

It was definitely a very wet weekend and a chaotic one indeed. First it rained nonstop for more than 13 hours with 4 hours of heavy downpour. My garden was flooded with more than a foot of water whereas my surrounding neighborhood was with above knee deep water. I got panic as it was the worst flood ever happened in years. Water was rising heartlessly into my porch area drenching my sofa and all my furniture out there. I was keeping my finger that it won’t come into my house at all. If it were to rise another six inches, all my indoor furniture would have been ruined. Luckily, I got all the kitties, including Jolyn upstairs safe and sound. Unfortunately, I could not get Papa Jonathan, Mimi and the rest of the kittens and puppies inside. I was worried and stressed out that they might not be able to fend for themselves under the wicked rainfall.

FLOOD02

That was not the worst scenario. The worst was that I alone at home down with diarrhea and without access to the main road to seek medical attention. Both my legs were weak from the frequent visits to “you-know-where”. I was shivering from head to toes even though I was wearing socks to keep my feet warm. I was totally helpless. I wanted to dive out to rescue whoever was out there sending out their SOS signals but my body just refused to let me go. I was in tears. I was praying hard that those helpless animals out there would be safe from any harm. Oh God! Why must I be sick when I could at least storm out there to see what I could do? I guessed God might have heard my cries to tone down the rain to drizzles a few hours later.

I was relieved but I had lost my energy even to climb up to my bedroom upstairs. I managed to grab a comforter and some cushions nearby to have some rest. Within seconds, I was totally knocked out on my floor. Somehow, I was so at peace during my sleep. I did not feel cold at all. Neither were my feet feeling the chill. It felt like I was lazing under the tropical sun in Hawaii... LOL! That was my dream, ok? I did not realize that I had dozed off for five straight hours.

By the time I woke up, it was a wonderful sight surrounding me. How I wished I had someone around to shoot this sight! My feet did not feel cold because Jeremy was pushing his furry body against my feet. Janice was at my chest. Jayson was at my thigh. Jimmy and Joey were sleeping squashed in between my tummy. Justin was sharing my “pillows aka cushions”. Mama Jessica was at my back. Surprisingly Jolyn too was cuddling herself cutely at my butt. Opps… luckily she was not hyperactive that time to play with the wrong things. :P I guessed the kitties sensed my need at that time as I sensed theirs all the time. I was touched with tears. Who said there wasn’t any close bound between human and animals? That’s why I love every single one of them very much! If you have not noticed, that’s also the reason I took many hours to create that new animated header up there to show my love for them :)

But… Bad Luck comes in THREE… three happenings each day for three days…

Saturday: Mama Jessica, Joey and myself down with diarrhea

Yesterday: Due to the wetness from the flood, our electricity was unstable for computer usage. My computer rebooted 13 times. Argh!! The bad weather continued and my appointment with the roof repairer was put off again for the third time. Is this another coincidence? Results – my kitchen was again flooded and I had a hell time cleaning up as I could not stand the cold water.

Today: I fed Joey her medication but she clawed me on my arms and body. She was fine each time but why today? Due to the unstable current, the technical people were repairing the main power supply to my area. I was without electricity and internet until 5 hours ago… 3 hours ago out of no reason, my face turned pale and I was short of breath. I felt nausea and with a twisting pain all over my spine. The feeling was like I almost died! Luckily I had a friend nearby to accompany me for awhile. I think I better rest now and don’t exert myself further. See you all around until I feel better.

While I’m gone, take a look at how a beautiful kitty was saved from the flood in my hometown last year. I hope to see more of this caring people around the whole world. There are many dialects and languages used here. You can just ignore that. What matter most is that a life was saved during that heavy rain! Do enjoy the video.

PHOTO HUNTERS – STRING(S)

photohunters

This week’s theme is on STRING(S).
Not so long ago, I was working on quite a number of
paper bags projects for my local market consumptions.
As there were strict Quality Control involved,
I ended up with a lot of colorful nylon STRINGS.
I brought those STRINGS home as I knew that
the kitties would love to play with them.

J KITTIES EXCURSION – PART TWO

EXCURSION201

After a good night rest from a tiring excursion yesterday, Daddy decided to take us up to Genting Highlands for a day of indoor and outdoor theme park outing. We woke up very early to visit Auntie Sara who would lead us up there. As we were over excited about the trip, we visited Auntie Sara a bit too early. She had yet to feed our Cousin Nigel.

EXCURSION202

While Auntie Sara was feeding little Nigel, Daddy had his car engine and brakes check in order to have a safety trip up the slopped hill of the resort.

EXCURSION203

After driving halfway up the hill, Daddy decided to take the cable car up instead. We had a great view of the whole area while enjoy the cool breeze of the atmosphere.

EXCURSION204

As we reached the top of the hill, we saw the outdoor theme park. It was huge with lots of big pools. Papa Jonathan warned us from being too mischievous during the trip as he would throw us into the pools if we were to misbehave ourselves. Grrrr… when was the last time you bathe Papa? LOL!

EXCURSION205

Since none of us wanted to be dipped into the water, we went into the indoor theme park. There were lots of amusement games and horror adventures around. Joey and Jimmy saw the indoor ferris wheel and begged Mummy to let them ride in it. Well, I think they are still too young to be in that alone. In the end Mummy said no as she was also afraid of heights.

EXCURSION206

After playing with some of the games, trying out some of the food and doing some window shopping around, it’s time to go down the hill as it was getting dark. On the way back to Daddy’s friend house, we met two new friends, Crunchy and Oreo. Both of them were very friendly. They came over to us and asked us where we were from. We told them we were from the Food Paradise of the Orient. They were drooling over how fortunate we were to have such a large family around.

EXCURSION207

Finally, we had reached home. Everyone were tired and jumped into our beds immediately. We had a night filled with sweet dreams and were looking forward to our next adventure…
