Love Thy Neighbour?... Only if they deserve it...

Nowadays it's really difficult to be neighbourly, especially when you get the kinda neighbours who have ATTITUDE PROBLEMS!
Ok, I am about to fully use my right to bitch in here...
I moved to my new house about one and a half years ago... I've adopted two stray cats from the neighbourhood itself. The cats, Blackie and Bushy, came to me willingly... i did not catnap or drug or blackmail them into my life... I've showered them with a lot of love and very high quality catfood (i will proudly stand by the quality of IAMS catfood)for the amount of time they have been with me... even my cousins who used to live in this house noticed the change in their furcoats... how much nicer it has become since they've started eating right... and not the usual crap they have to beg or steal or scavenge thru the trash can...
I've bought Blackie and Bushy very nice collars with bells on them... it makes it easier for me to trace their whereabouts... and to of course announce to the whole neighbourhood and other stray cats that I am the proud parent of these two fine felines...
One incident which really pissed me off was when i found their collars missing without a trace... Both at the same time! ... Now who in their right state of mind would do something like that, unless they were really really really desperate to get collars for their cats! That mystery was never solved although at the back of my mind... i somehow pictured Blackie and Bushy turning in their collars to pay off for their gambling debts at the kitty den! hehehe! These two are extremely lovable yet cunning... Theres always a twinkle in their eye...
Well, Bushy is a longhaired persian-like grey cat... She doesnt warm up too easily to just anyone, but well she seems to have established some trust with me... She enjoys sleeping with me when she can (Blackie is Queen of the house... she's a regular all black tabby cat). Bushy loves to be caressed and scratched... Amazingly the two cats are house broken and have never given me any problems indoor... Sometimes i do wonder if they ever go to kitty toilet... They can stay in the house the whole day and not worry about it, eventho they've eaten a few times...
Anyway... my mom told me about the conversation she had with the Attitude Problem Naighbour! Apparently, APN's sister has set her sights on Bushy and they have tried to capture her to bring her back to the sister's house... Now how rude is that????
NOw what i would love to say to her is....
"BITCH! Don't you see me feeding the cats and calling for them at night to come home and talking to them and putting a new bell around their necks???????? Who the F*CK do you think you are to give your F*Cking sister the right to take my CAT!!!!!!!!!!!! "
She can tell my mom straight to her face that she told her sister that she can have the cat as it belongs to nobody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF??????????????????????????????????????????? DUMBASS BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told my mom to tell that inconsiderate and f*cking blind BITCH that BUSHY is MINE!!!!!!!!!!! I've been taking care of Bushy for the past one year and more... Now that she's looking really good, everybody and their sister wants to have a piece of her... F*ck y'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can be a gentle soul but when you step into my turf and mess with my cats, you better watch it!
Stay the F*Ck away from my PUSSY! or you are about to get into a really nasty CATFIGHT!

A sad and shocking day...


I have 2 cats which i've adopted since i moved into my new house last year...
And since then, i've adopted a few more stray cats, as in, i feed them daily, but my 2 cats are the only ones with the 'indoor-and-can-sleep-with-me' priviledges...
The mother cat i've been feeding has had a couple of happy preggy days since i've been around... And the last time she got boned... it was by a new and handsome long grey haired male cat in the neigbourhood, which produced a fine set of kittens...there was the beautiful grey one, the tiger striped one and the patches here and there one... my fav was the grey one...
Then, one fine day... my mom had to tell me the sad news... the neighbour had accidently runned over the grey one... it was a horrifying news... i was really sad...

and then there were 2...

it was around Chinese New Year then, that i went for a break to Langkawi...
when i came back... i noticed that there was only one kitten... nobody knew what had happened to it... just that it went missing... i assumed that the mother had left it somewhere or someone took it as a pet...

Months went by.... until Sunday...

I've been procrastinating sending my car for a service for the longest time... finally i decided to send it to the workshop last Sunday because the car wasn't moving as well as it used to and it started smelling for some reason... some kinda stench...

Then i received the call...

Ring! Ring!
me- hello
mechanic- Miss ah!
me- ya
mechanic- Miss ah! Your car engine there ah! got a dead cat ooo!
me- WAT???????????????
mechanic- ya! kecik one... i bukak ur engine and i see sumthin look at me... aiyah! terkejut oo!
me- but how?
mechanic- very small one Miss ! i kasi cucilaaa...
me- (still in shock) ok... thank you ah...

Now i know what happened to Kitty!... I feel so bad...
I'm so sorry Kitty... one of those days when i was in Langkawi... my mom musta turned on the engine to warm up the car... not realising you were there... i hope it wasnt a painful one for you and hope you are happy in kitty heaven there...

Zombie...

Brrrr... I feel like a ZOMBIE! Started working on the 3rd of April. Feels good. There's so much to do and i enjoy what i do. The Bosses are cool and my colleagues are a nice bunch. Well... i guess i am in my honeymoon period of work. I just pray that things will turn out well generally with only minor bumps along the way.

We have a big DEADline this week. Been working late since the first day at work. but usually it isnt so bad, i'd leave around 8pm or so. Worked through the public holiday and the worst was yesterday, went home at 4.30am.But they called in and told me to come in after lunch today, so that wasnt so bad. Though i do feel a bit like a zombie today.

Weekends just feel so short nowadays... My main concern is about banking stuff i suppose.

Oh Mother!

Ok.. ok... So I'm falling behind in my entries...

But i just have to write about last Saturday...

After the Friday night partying, I was just too sleepy to wake up early the next day... I could hear the activities going on in my house outside my bedroom door... Aaahhh the glory of privacy! I LOVE my door... My door is the only thing that separates my personal space and life from the outside world! All Hail to my door!

Anyway... after coming in and out of my sleep mode, suddenly there was a knock on the door!:

BANG!BANG!BANG!
me: WHnmmmp? (muffled voice saying wat?)
Voice: Trippin! Trippin! The landlord's son is here for his cheques!
me: Ya! Ya! (grumble! sebok jer... why didn't he call first? he always calls first!)
Scribble! Scribble! Scribble! Tear! Tear! Tear!

I opened my door and passed the cheques to my Aunt...

Aaahhhhh... now i can really sleep... or so i thought?

10mins later....

BANG!BANG!BANG!
Mother: Trippin! Trippin!
me: Ya?
Mother: Open the door...

Grrrr...

*creakkkkk*

me: Ya?
Mother: The landlord said that you are short of one month's rent!
me: WHAT? cannot be...
Voice in background (my aunt): Cuba check your chequebook...
MOther: Ya! You are short of a month's rent...February's rent!
me: But... it cannot be... this is April... he would have said something by March? I gave him til March!
Mother: Exactly! So... that means.... *giggle* APRIL'S FOOL!!!
me: Aaaaaarghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! you woke me up for this!
MOther: LOL! I've been planning this for days!

My mom... can be quite a cheeky lady sometimes... she pulled one on my sister too which nearly made my sis's heart drop like a ton of bricks! Damnnnn! I can't believe she outwitted me ! But it wasn't a fair play... she had a headstart given my sleepy-mind-working-on-extra-low-reserve-mode state.

The Parties, The Models , The E-Guy

Had a belly-d party last weekend... The party began early about 9pm. Me and my crew of course took our time and finally arrived there at 10.30pm - right after the more happening crowd have moved on to other party places... Wat was left were a bunch of Middle Eastern guys dancing to the Arabian beat. A nice looking bunch i must say they were... but not enough to make us stay! We proceeded to Zouk-Velvet next... arriving in time for the end of the launching we were invited to ...HAHA! Aaaah well... we decided to just stay and party on over there... Between the flailing bodyparts... we managed to squeeze in and sit at our reserved couch!
Met one or two models that i knew and one of them which i had read cards for in the past, i asked her:

Me: How have you been?
Model: I think I've grown up.

I just sat and smiled at her for a moment there... That has got to be one of the most honest answers i've gotten from anyone before... I could understand why she would say that as her cards did reveal quite a bit in the past...I am so happy for her. She seems more calm as well. Models. They are a bunch of beautiful women. Their job is not as easy as it seems. Sure they do get to have fun a lot, but just like the rest of us, they do encounter very real problems in their lives as well... Of course there are some snobbish and nasty ones, but there are those who are quite nice as well. That night, i met a few more new ones. They were pretty friendly and of course cwazyyyy... It was a pretty interesting scene but i can bet you that about 80% of the people there were gay... wat a pity... there were some "cuci mata" ones.. There were a bunch of Brazillian male models there ...they were straight hehe! and they were just mobbed by a bunch of local women who were throwing themselves at them ... wat a sight! I bet they were having the time of their lives... In the midst of hanging out there, suddenly a guy approached our table... and joined us. He didn't say much but just greeted us and jammed to the music. After awhile he started chatting with my sister and then suddenly he leaned forward and said to my sister:

Guy: Do you want eat?
Sis: Ya! Ya! i want to eat... hungry... maybe after this.
Guy: No! No! Do you want E?
Sis: E?
Guy: Ya ... E... Ecstasy...
Sis: Oh! No ! No! Its ok... Thank you.

We left close to 3am due to the growling in our tummies! On the way back, there was a police roadblock! My sister suggested that my friend who was driving to wind down the window... and when it came to our turn....

Friend (winding window down)
Police (looking seriously inside)
Friend : Assalammualaikum ! (in her sweetest voice)
Police -looking confused and amused and finally nods- (ushers us away)

Didn't think he was expecting that kinda greeting hehe!

Chosen venue to "melantak" - a choice between Devi's Bsar and Mosin TTDI...
This time Mosin won hands down when somebody mentioned the Pizza Nan! mmmmmmMMmmmm...
