Tam Jiak Boy

When it comes to WW, it's love and hate.

Love him when he wags his tail so vigorously that his whole body and butt shake from left to right, right to left

Love him when he sits still, waiting for me to feed him or pat him

Hate him when he tears everything down - torn mats, missing shoes, broken pots, u name it! Grrrrr....

Hate him when he runs like crazy to avoid me from catching him. Hey, i'm not playing with you!

The other day i bought him a big packet of dog food.

It was like he could smell the food. Before i opened the car boot, he was already waiting at the car. 

Only food can tame him.....

Indeed a tam jiak boy hehe

Pssskk.. look who is here~

We have not had any pet ever since Tiger passed away a year ago.

Tiger is still deep in my heart. I still miss him dearly and every time i come home, I 'saw' him running towards my car,  wagging his tail when i opened my car door, welcoming me home. Miss the warmth. 

My mum misses Tiger too coz she doesn't have a companion at the garden anymore when she is planting vegetables. Tiger used to follow her in the backyard. It's like he is protecting mum or keeping her accompanied so she is not alone. 

During MCO, my friend's mixed breed gave birth to many puppies. She posted it on her FB and i showed mum. She said she wants one. I told her, if she wants one, she has to take care of him especially if i'm travelling. She said ok.

So we got Wang Wang. 

He is brown in colour. Kinda looks like Tiger. I sometimes mistakenly called him Tiger. It will take a while to get used to the new name~ 

WW was so small when i took him home. He is I thought he would cry at night , being at a new home but he didn't. He just slept quietly like an angel. So adorable~ 

Adorable, Angel ya~

Now that he has been with us for almost 2 months, i tell u, i want to give up sometimes. He is SUPER naughty! Ok, he pees and shits at the car porch just like Tiger last time. This, i understand because he is a pup and couldn't hold himself. But pulling everything out from i don't even know where, destroying, breaking things, this really makes me crazy! We had so many pets before and never have we ever had a dog that is this mad!

One of his 'destructive" result

I wanna scream at him, wanna hit his butt, but when he wags his tail, shakes his butt at me with the innocent look, i relented. Damn, he is so adorable and angelic once again T___T

how to get angry at this face?

Gosh, like jane said, this is sign of 狗奴 @.@

And guess what, my mum who said she wants him now, becomes my responsibility. 

To date, am still cleaning his gold everyday and the mess he creates everyday. Gosh, i hope he grows up fast!

Almost torn into pieces!

I haven't mentioned about Tiger for a long time... Today is going to be all about him. P/S: if Tiger knew about this, he would be floating in the air with happiness! hehe..

We got Tiger 3.5 years ago. At that time, he was only as big (or should i say small) as a rat. Now, I think he is at his teenage years because he is rebellious and loves to challenge other dogs even though he knows he will lose to 3 dogs @.@ 真的不知天高地厚！ I remember when i was at my teenage age, the only person i like to challenge is Jane. Well, it was a self-defense technique la.. No matter how much we fight, we are still best buds! right jane? ;P

Tiger 

From small to grown up

Yesterday, I took Tiger out for a walk. While he was sniffing here and there, a neighbour's black dog came to him and acted friendly. Instead of making friends, the rebellious Tiger started to growl and jumped at him. Good thing that he was on leash, otherwise he would have landed on Blackie and probably started fighting him.. Tiger, Blackie just wants to be your friend leh......   

While Tiger was acting crazy, the other dog just stood there and watched him, probably wondering why is he soOoo agitated. Tiger was really strong. He kept jumping forward and I had to hold him back with all my strength! For a moment, i was really scared that Blackie would feel challenged and jumped at Tiger and start a fight! I didn't wanna be bitten by two crazy dogs man! 

I remembered a TV show about animals which was quite popular in Australia. The song goes "if i could talk to the animal....." Sigh, if only I could really  talk to the animals! 

Some said that a person will have supernatural power during emergencies. I guess this is emergency so I tried my luck by talking dog language. haha, woof woof won't work here... I asked Blackie to go home and told Tiger to calm down. Magically, Blackie seemed to understand me because he turned around and went off! It was a great relieved for me! *phew*

Then crazy Tiger calmed down and we walked home like nothing happened. In fact, my heart was still pounding. I felt really lucky that both Tiger and me are still in one piece.....! Or else, you would not have any childish jokes to hear (since my recent (?) hobby is being childish :P)  haha.. or is that what you guys actually hoped for? T_____T

Nah, I'm sure my family and friends love my childish acts *refuse to accept the truth*

Tiger's favourite past time

Lately, I discovered that Tiger has a new hobby. I catch him playing with his balls everyday! He chases after them, licks them and chews them until they break into half *Oucchhh.... painful!!!*

Where did he learn to be soOOOoo violent?

It's not a bad thing that he is so busy with balls playing. Coz that means our shoes at home have longer lives ^^

This is how Tiger plays with his balls

*munch munch*

Balls so tasty

I know.... NOT sexy at all....

I didn't buy him any balls to play with coz many moons ago, I bought him a rubber hedgehog to keep him entertained. BTW, why is dog toy so expensive ah? He loved playing with Pinky. Oh, Picky is the name I gave to the rubber hedgehog because....

It is Hot Pink!

The next day, Pinky died because her body was half gone.. as if she got bitten by a shark while swimming in the deep sea T_____T i cried because that's money down the drain (& of course for Pinkie because she lived such a short life). Then the next day, Pinky totally disappeared! Poor Pinky.... She died without a complete body. Sorry Pinky... I didn't know I have a monster at home....

So, where did the balls come from?

My neighbour converted his garden into a concrete tennis court. I think he is coaching kids and adults coz i see different people dropping by every morning and evening. That's where Tiger's source of entertainment comes from. He picked up those tennis balls that flew over the safety fence and dropped at the roadside.

Psst, Tiger even keeps stock. Look where he keeps his balls!

Found Tiger's secret place

Watch Dog

我們常說‘狗會看門’

可是‘看門’是什麼意思啊？

你看過你家或人家家的狗‘看門’嗎？

我家的泰哥太可愛了。 牠真的是坐在那裡‘看門’!

*感動* 没有白费我的爱心！

很好。牠有實行牠的任務。

怎麼樣？ 我的教導有方吧。呵呵。。。

Mum's biased!

Mum shows her favouritism again... *I still haven't forgotten abt the bun vs drumstick incident* *记仇记恨* :P

It happened yesterday. After dinner.

Mum: Have you fed Tiger?

Me : Yes. Gave him food already. But he is not eating.

Mum: U always give him lousy food.. that's why.

Me : I gave him the meat you cooked for us last night wor

Mum: ......

Looks like all my pets have better life and 'higher status' than me at home worrr *sob sob* Even mum's cooking isn't good enough for Tiger! *faint* What's more, I feed Tiger everyday, bath him, pat him, play with him, educate him etc.. wah, i do sound like a maid for my dog! haha.... Oh well, that's what our parents do too... so better don't complain :P

Actually, Tiger was very distracted yesterday. He was busy woofing at the neighbour's dogs that wandered around at the roadside til he forgot to eat... HA! I hope he is just as hardworking when it comes to seeing suspicious strangers!

Innocent look~

I'm giving out free hotdog!

Who wants to eat Hot dog now?

Coz I'm very upset at Tiger right now...


First, he tore my beloved black shawl (& heart) T____T






Then he tore my bedsheet!

Grrrrrr.....

So, do you want your hot dog with ketchup?

Guess what this is?

Looks like something u have in the kitchen right? Hehe... Nope, it's not an oven mitten.

It's something i bought for Tiger. Don't underestimate this simple glove. It has quite a few functions. I can achieve several things at one time. Incredible leh...?

I can use it to pat Tiger so he feels loved and at the same time give him massage so he loves me even more; also, combing thru his fur with this gives him silky hair so ppl know that Tiger has a super caring owner (me me me)!

Tiger really enjoys his patting, massage and combing... Come, I can let u use it so long as Tiger doesn't get jealous and bite u...

I'm hungry....

Tiger reminds me of something tasty.

Tiger eating banana fritter

WUuuuiiiiii, what are u thinking?! I don't like to eat Hot Dogs. AND most importantly, I DON't eat dogs! Esp my own pet.


I was talking abt this.

*drool*

Pork bun! Looks yummy isn't it? Or do u find Tiger tastier? hehe...

Kidnapped

Tiger is getting bigger and is now at the age where he is curious of things. He now even dares to explore the world beyond the fence. He doesn't stay out long and will return home after sniffing here and there for 5 mins.

The other day, he ran a bit further and didn't return. We didn't worry at first because we were sure that he would be back for food at meal time. Then we worried coz it was meal time but he was no where to be seen! Mum was esp concerned coz they've spent a lot of time together in the garden. We kept calling out for Tiger but all we got was silence.

Had he run a bit too far and lost his way? So we went around the neighbourhood looking for him. Still no sign of him. Where he could be...?? I tried to console mum and at the same time wondered if we would ever see Tiger again. Although he is a naughty dog and gives me shits everyday, I still wished he would come home.

Mum decided to give it a last try after 1 hour of searching. And then she heard familiar barking. Turns out, Tiger got kidnapped or should i say, dognapped by our neighbour! Tiger was behind bars when mum found him and the old man, upon seeing my mum and noisy Tiger, released him. Yup, it was a tearful reunion.

Tiger looks smart with his new collar eh?

Pet Talk

I had a little pep talk with Tiger today while taking him to the vet last night.

I've had enough of his landmines at the car porch area. He just keeps pooping there like nobody's business no matter how i toilet train him! The portions out of him are not exactly small and they scatter here and there like stars in the sky. If only they twinkled like one! *fed up*

Mannn... Am seriously thinking of changing his name to 'Sai Ong' (Hokkien: Shit King).

Sai Ong is cute when he wags his tail and shakes his butt from left to right and then tangles himself around people's legs like a snake. But totally NOT when I madly wash the car porch while he jumps back and forth barking at and chasing after the moving broom.

A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G!

Arrgghh! He really makes me like and hate him! I don't understand why he doesn't get it since he obediently poops in the backyard every evening.

Hmmpphh.. If only he could talk, i wanna know what his problem is.

Tiger & Me

Tiger is growing up fast. He no longer looks like a small rat but a gigantic one.

So hard to take a proper picture of him! He moves around non-stop! Then I gave up coz I got dizzy trying to follow his movements @_@







This is the only proper shot (out of more than 2 dozens) I managed to take....

Tiger, Say HelloOOooo....

Cute eh?

New Device installed

Following last week's break in, we decided to put in some detective device. Well, this device has yet to function....

It will be a while before this device can be put to use though. Still requires quite a lot of work. So.... we'll have to be patient...

In the meantime, we will just enjoy playing around until the device is ready to serve the purpose... which can be a lot of fun....

Meet puppy Tiger!

Can you spot Tiger?

Tiger is one of the 7 puppies that were abandoned by their owner * how irresponsible!* He is only 3 weeks old and sOOOooo tiny! When i let him loose in the garden, i could hardly spot him!

Right now, I've to keep an eye on him when he is out and about, just in case my neighbour's cats mistakenly him as a fat rat!

Husky, a Happy-Go-Lucky Doggie

I received a lot of comforting words since Husky's death. Thank you so much guys. It's just so hard to accept the fact that I will never see Husky ever again. Everytime I talk and think about Husky, my tears will pour out uncontrollably. Ppl said she is just a dog. But to me, she is more than that. She was a friend. She was really close to me and also the first doggie I ever invested so much love and time in. I cannot forget the look in her eyes before she passed away - so many things to say but none could be spoken...

On Weds, I came home to find a plastic bag on top of Husky's grave. Mum said Husky's yellow doggie friend came looking for her and wanted to dig her out of her grave! Guess Husky's playmate missed her too. Husky was not only loved by people but also doggie. Felt so touched and sad at the same time. Everyone misses Husky. Husky has brought so much happiness. I hope she will continue to do so in her next life.

Remembering Husky

Some video clips and photos of Husky to share with friends....

Husky - Just 2 months old. Just arrived at her new home

Wasn't Puppy-Husky adorable? She was already so hyper-active at such a young age! No wonder I could never calm her down....

Husky's favourite activity - Fetching her favourite toy, the yellow plastic bone

Husky's innocent look - Wondering who was calling her name

Husky will continue to live in my heart.....

Goodbye Forever my Beloved Husky.....

Today is the 2nd day of Hungry Ghosts month. It's is also the day my Beloved best friend, Husky left me, forever.... Before she was neutered a month ago, I had her kept behind the gate fearing that she might get gang-raped by some unknown dogs. She loved to explore the world outside the gate and i felt guilty for not letting her do so. So, I promised her that once she was neutered, she could run any where she liked so long as she returned home safe and sound. And she always returned safe and sound except for this evening.

Today, I came home from work as usual. Husky wagged her tail and shaked her bum at the gate to welcome me. She always did that. It was such a warm and loving feeling. I had always felt happy at the sight of her - knowing that I would always have a trusted best buddy by my side even if eveyone else left me.

Normally, she would wait for me by the car and the moment I opened my car door, she would jump at me and try to lick me. I would pat her and call her name lovingly. I could feel that she missed me. And yes, I missed her too. Today, she didn't do that. She took the chance to ran and see her yellow doggie friend that always waited for her by the side of the main road. I let her be because she would come home for dinner after that, like every other time. Just when I sat down to have dinner, I heard loud cries from far. I immediately ran to the patio to take a look. I saw a few stopping cars on the main road and then they moved away. NOT MY HUSKY! Without an umbrella, I ran to the roadside as fast as I could. Mum was following behind me. God, please not let that be Husky! Please don't take away my beloved companion. To my horror, I saw Husky lying on the pedestrian walk, her friend right next to her. She had been run over by a car and had a bit of trouble breathing smoothly. Mum and I carried Husky on a piece of board and I drove as fast as I could to Ting & Lu Vet at Tabuan Jaya (FYI, City Vet which is 5 mins away my house only opens at 7pm). I was driving, crying and comforting Husky at the same time. Each time I made a turn, she squeal. She was in pain. There were no blood, no external injuries. The whole time, I prayed to God not to take Husky away from me, but deep down I knew that she would not survive the internal injuries.

Call me superstitious. There were signs that my dearest Husky would not survive the tragedy.

Sign 1
Traffic lights turned red at Batu Lintang/Simpang Tiga junction. It took forever to turn green. I wished I had a sirent like an ambulance so I could reach vet fast!

Sign 2
I was behind a stupid, inconsiderate tortoise driver on Jln Simpang Tiga. I had to flash my lights to get him/her out of right lane!

Sign 3
There was a terrible jam along Tabuan Jaya Road. There is no way I could get to the other side (where the vet is) without getting stuck in the jam for 30 mins! I parked my car at the bus stop and tried to cross the busy road with Husky in my arms and in the rain.

Sign 4
So many cars!!! How the hell to cross a road like this????

Sign 5
Vet was tied up with a dying rabbit patient.

My heart ached so badly when I saw Husky not being able to breath smoothly. She was in a lot of pain I know. I could tell. When I put her on the examination bed. I knelt down beside her to stroke her nose. She had always loved that. Husky looked into my eyes as I did that, as if trying to tell me how sorry she is for leaving me. For not being able to grow old with me. For getting into trouble again. Husky, I know. I could telling in your eyes. U didn't mean to... I'm sorry too, for not caring enough to stop you from running out in the rain.

The vet gave her two injections - one to kill the pain and one to stop the internal bleeding. I was told that Husky was in a critical condition and if she survived til tomorrow, she would live. I cried and cried, praying that she would be fine. I kept patting her at the same time to assure her that things will be fine and that she is loved and that she will be jumping up and down, playing with me and also her doggie friend, accompanying mum in the garden, chewing shoes, breaking vases, plates and pots , killing mum's orchids etc very soon Be Strong Husky. Be Strong...

After 10 mins, Husky took a really deep breath and died at 6.53pm. Right before my eyes. It was heart breaking to part with her... I can't believe that I've lost Husky, forever.... I don't have any words to describe how I feel right now. I'm still crying as I write this. Losing Husky is like losing a part of my soul. I feel so incomplete and so alone without her. Jane's eulogy on Husky makes me cry even more. I would definitely miss my Can't-hate-but-love-her-even-more Husky.

I rested Husky outside, in front of my home so she would always be in the place she loved so much - the world outside the gate. Husky, Please take care of yourself in the Doggie Heaven. Please always remember that you were loved deeply by people you loved. Please remember that you will always take up a special space in my heart. We will miss you very very much....

It feels so strange to be without Husky. I thought I heard her but I know it is just my imagination. Normally, Husky would either distract me when I use the computer or rest under the sofa behind me. It is so depressing to know that she would not be around to light up my days anymore. Just now, I walked to the main road. I saw Husky's yellow doggie friend right on the spot where Husky was found injured. Doggie must be looking for his friend, wondering when she would return to play with him again..................

When Ying And Yang Meets

Taylor and Husky will meet very soon. Taylor is moving to Kch for a few months before moving to Melbourne. I'm sure the only ecstatic ones are Husky & Taylor because they finally have a friend of their own! I'm excited that Taylor is coming too because that means I will have 2 cuties to lie by my side when I watch telly (such a cozy sight isn't it?). What can be better than having two best friends who will never betray my trust?? (~V~)

Hmm.. I wonder what will happen when the two total opposites meet? Taylor is huge, white and obedient whereas Husky is small, black and naughty. My brother is worried that Taylor might get run over by cars in Kch. Small problem bro. U should be concerning abt bigger issue - it's said that '學好三年, 學壞三天' (translation: it takes three years to learn to be good and 3 days to become bad). By the time we send Taylor to Melbourne, i'm afriad that she might become as naughty as Husky haha...

Two doggies to bath soon??? OMG!!!

Big or small?

That's Husky. Doesn't she look powerful, masculine and dangerous?

Well, don't believe everything you see.. hehehe... She is, in fact tiny. The only time she is BIG is when she plays in the garden. Try imagine this - a BIG, FAT, BLACK worm crawling around haha...

Husky is not dangerous (at least not yet). I took some pictures of her so Mummy Jenn can show them to Grown-up Husky next time.

[Muahs]

[Ouch!! Let go Husk!]

[Rub my tummy plzzzzzz]

She is adorable, isn't she? Really wish she would never grow up ;p

Better Life

How unimportant I'm in my parents' eyeeeessss.... The truth is revealed today... How did I find out?? Let me tell you a story (in a strong Indian accent ;p) - Today, my parents came home with my lunch. My mama passed me a big hot BBQ pork bun. I'm generally not picky when it comes to food & will obediently eat anything that is within my reach... Anyway, I was happily eating the pork bun UNTIL she passed me a warm chicken drumstick and said "This is for Husky". WHAT?!?!? Husky got a chicken drumstick for lunch while I was only given a bun?? How unfair is that?! 我连狗也不如呀! How saaaddd... sob sob... This was how I felt :-

Gosh, Husky's life is better than mine!! Arrrggghhh... I'm GREEN with envy....

Yin Vs Yang

I am proud to present the two newest members of our family. One of them is from the "Yin" side and the other from "Yang". They are total opposite of each other. Let me save my breath and show u their pictures since it is said that "A picture says a thousand words". Phew... that means a saving of 2,000 words for me!! yayeeeeeeeee....

Introducing Taylor. She is snow-white in colour and shines like a diamond under the sun (that's one BIG diamond haha). She is agile, good tempered, intelligent, biddable etc. She is basically an Angel. You can tell just by looking at her....

["Yin" - Taylor]

The youngest member of our family is the 2 months old Husky. She is full of energy! Even I find it hard to keep up with her (FYI, I'm also young and energetic ;p Just imagine the level of energy she possesses)! When she is excited, she hops around like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh Cartoon (BTW, Pooh Bear is my favourite character ^V^) I must really sign her up for "Guinness World Record". She can actually do somersaults!! Incredible isn't it? Hmmm... I wonder if she worked in a Circus in her previous life! haha... If you wanna see what else my Wonder Dog can do, do drop by. Words of warning - Husky bites like a Tiger... Visit at your own risk k...

["Yin" - Husky]

Husky is just as adorable as Taylor, but in a wicked way. She finds ways to get what she wants. Smart for a puppy huh? Too baaaaddd, I'm smarTER! hahaha........
