A sad story

My heart always shrink a little whenever I saw a picture of him.

He's a lop ear. In Malaysia, we tend to called Holland Lop without pedigree as Lop Ear. Or maybe he's not even close to Holland Lop standard. Nevertheless, I love him dearly.

He was bought from a rabbit breeder in KL and was sent by bus to my hometown. He was one of those 'reduction' stock so I bought him at a very affordable price. I'm very satisfied as his cuteness is to the MAX! You gonna know that this is done all online. I was only introduce to a very blur picture of him.

 

Apparently this is the picture. I've tried to make the photo lighter to get better view of him but I PHAILED (failed) terribly. I know I'm sucks at EDITING PHOTO! But what's the purpose of editing photo when nature itself is already PERFECT??

The main point is not how much I bought him nor how we first met, it's more to how much he cheered me up with his cuteness and charm! It was in the crack of dawn that I went to take him. The moment I open the box, I fall in love. He's so sweet and adorable that pictures didn't give him much justice. 

The reason he was also named Ai-yoh is because he seemed to respond to the voice. You said "Ai-yoh" and he'll be like
 

 

THIS!!

Standing on his two feet

 

I'm not taking any credits for his tricks as I've done nothing. And I also believed that the breeder has nothing to do with all the tricks. All breeders have in mind is to BREED and BREED and BREED! I would take it as his personality. Together with him, there's a lot of sweet memories between us. He cheer my life up! 

It was December that time. The most fearful month of all as in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia there will be continuous rain and  flood. It was that particular night that I put his cage on a big Chinese pot.

Little did I know that the pot inside is empty. There's no water to press the pot down! Bad luck came continuously as water level increase that night, causes the pot to tumble over together with Ai-yoh's cage. God knows how long he's soaked with cold rain water that night.

He was still fine. No bad signs and normal behavior that made me thought he's strong to have endure through the horrendous night. Later on 28 Januari, Mum called to just tell me Ai-yoh left me forever. At the end of the day, he still does not manage to survive after soaking for hours.

Feeling very depressed, I actually cried for 3 days! 3 fucking days with swollen eyes. I felt a great loss in me. One can have may rabbits but then it is that particular one which caught one's attention and love.

A very hyperactive bunny

 

"Yes? You calling me?"

 

"Here's my pose"

 

A bun-fie

 

"Shake your booty"

 

I'm oshem!

 

During a visit to the vet

 

His place in my heart shall never be replaced no matter how much rabbits will come in my life in future. People may think I'm stupid to cry over a rabbit but then Ai-yoh is more than a rabbit to me. He's part of me.

Each tears drop that night represent my love to him!! Tear is made of 1% water and 99% feelings ='(  I guess they are right when they say the more you want something badly, the more it will fade away from you.

The fact that Ai-yoh is not the most expensive one I bought but he was one of them that I treasure the most. If there's way to bring him back alive, I will do everything in my will power to bring my boy back to me.

Both left me.

Flood takes 2 lives away.

At the end of the day, I'm left with the feeling regret. Regret why I didn't do better. Why I didn't check on him that night? I never cry over breakups with guys (puppy love thou). I only cry over forever breakups with my wabbits. Funny right? Who cares? I am a strong girl but do know strong girl also have their weakness point. When he enter my life and be a part of it, I would never guess that he will be this important. Basically, Ai-yoh was with me for only 3 months yet left a great impact in my life.

This are one of the challenges one have to face when you have a pet.

 

Love his marking!

Time does not heal everything.

"Nothing lasts forever. Forever is a lie.

All that we have is what's between hello and goodbye."

I do also hope that R.I.P means (R)eturn (I)f (P)ossible

"My dear boy, thou we barely knew each other but do know I miss you very much"

 

 

Ai-yoh, wait for me at the rainbow bridge!

 

"Sometimes, we need to be hurt in order to grow.

We must lose in order to gain.

Sometimes, some lessons are learned best through pain."

 

Thanks for reading this entry. =D

Sept Ember

Hello again. It's me, the annoying girl. For those who forget me already since I'm out of the cyber world yesterday, I'm Karen. Welcome to my humble place.

An old picture of me =D

 

Actually there's a reason why there's no entry yesterday. I called MSU (Management & Science University) yesterday for requirements for Bachelor in Pharmacy. It's pweety disappointed to know that the minimum requirement is >3 pointer as I only obtained 2.92. Mum still insisted on Pharmacy so this left me with two route. First, repeat another year of foundation or the second is to retake my 3rd sem in KBU (Kolej Bandar Utama). I just dunno what I want now as the foundation in science in MSU will start this 17 September. I feel it will be too rush for me and I'm not ready. But then, when will I be ready??

 

Told my decision to take another year of foundation to Mum the very night so I followed her down town this morning coz I wanted to spend more time with her before leaving again. We went to the market and look what we bought!

 

Fresh but not fresh scallop. A kilo for RM 5

 

 

I bet everyone seen a scallop before.

But lets just say some of you here dunno what a scallop look like.

So here's a picture of a scallop

 

At the end of the day, from a kilo to only 200 g.

Where does the 800 g goes??

 

'Pauh ringan' 2 1/2 kilo for RM 6.

Guess what I'm doing with it

 

Anyone loves corn?

Bought 9 for RM 10!

 

 

The dirty, smelly 'lolong kuning'.

2 kilos for RM 9

 

Eat this confirm 'kembung'.

Kembung at RM 8 for a kilo

 

I actually tired to washed those gills of the fishes but then Popo chased me away. Anyway, it's very complicated compare to prawns and squids. And those gills are really disgusting!!

 

Some may wonder what is this black like things that look like eggs.

It's duck eggs.

5 for RM 4

 

And also long beans for RM 1, this much.

C-H-E-A-P

 

We shopped till 10.30 am before going for breakfast. I would definitely miss having breakfast with Mum in Chinatown before sending her to work.

Uolls want to hear a very funny story of mine? Firstly, I would like to state here that this is solely prank and have no intention to offense anyone.

The story goes back when Popo telling me that Niki is coming back at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Perhaps you think what have it got to do with my prank. FYI, the schooling time is not fixed. So at around 12 noon, there's a call (house phone). At first I taught it was Niki and Popo shown no sign of picking up the phone. So I run to the phone (phone is in the living room)

Me: Assalamualaikum!
The caller: Waalaikumussalam

The caller actually was looking for Mum and I got pweety shocked as I first expected it was Niki. I guess my pronunciation was kinda good. Not bad after schooling Sekolah Kebangsaan for 11 years. At the end, before ending, the caller again said "Assalamualaikum". Quickly I ended the call and told Popo whut happen. Was laughing non-stop. ROFL!! *Rolling on the floor laughing with saliva dropping* It made my day after stormy cloud yesterday.
 

At noon, I busied myself in the kitchen learning Popo's recipe. Will do another entry later tonight. So watch out for it. After 5, I went to have a look on the progress of the construction. I can see they're almost done. I'm pretty surprised coz it's only a week!

 

Here's to our new backyard gate!

 

And a little more for the kennels!

Tiger and Kiko would definitely love this

because it's very windy in the evening with shades form the coconut tree.

 

See you again tonight, if I'm not lazy. FYI, I'm the laziest person on Earth so don't expect much from me.

 

Thanks for reading this entry. Appreciate the effort a lot! 



Excuse me, Sir. Your Malaysian is showing

Waking up for lunch to just being told by Mum that she gotta 'belanja' her colleagues for lunch. Tipping is not our culture but 'belanja' is definitely one. Not one but two hungry colleagues. I hated the fact that people often ask to treat them when doing something for us. Where's sincerity then?

As for me myself, I think those around me are very well aware that I do very seldom treat them. But at the same time, I NEVER ask for a treat. I like to put it this way, 'You owe me nothing and I owe you nothing'. Because of money people fight, so I do really want to get away from it.

Since small, Dad and Mum often taught me that when we took others, we need to give them back the same amount or more. As for that, I hate owing people no matter it's money or food.

At the end, we went for lunch at a Malay restaurant with RM 25 spent for the 4 of us. A very reasonable price. One that can't be found in big cities like Kuala Lumpur.

In the evening, I went for a check on the construction going on and as well as getting my hands dirty with soil.

A pot for gardening!

 

After this I'm gonna plant all types of fruits so I can eat them whenever I want! After dinner, we're all busying filling forms. Say me kind coz I'm sharing this with uolls. I might regret this later if I don't win my smartphone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's pretty simple to enter. All they need is product of purchases. Me and my sista plan to send in entries for everyday! So remember to go check it out as the contest is only until 30 September!

 

 

Bye for now...

 

 

Oh well, before that,

 

A selfie taken in the car!

Getting chubbier.

And perhaps, dyeing needed!

The cute,fluffy and adroable lil' creatures

Besides dogs, there's also a spot in my heart dedicated to RABBITS! Yup. The cute fluffy lil' creatures! God really put all his effort and time in creating this adorable creatures.

It started few years back when I was around 14 years old during December school holidays! I had wanted a pet rabbit since small. Being the pampered child among all, of course my uncles bought me rabbits a few times. But then it was always either the rabbit runs away or get bitten by our dog.

So it was that month when my sister said her friend's uncle rear rabbits and the rabbits gave birth a lot. So I was asking whether can her friend give us a pair? Joy came when my sister's friend agreed!

There's always bad news after good news. Le Mum doesn't not allow us to have the rabbits. The biggest myths behinds rabbits is their poop and urine smell. Being the lil' devil, I tried to persuade Mum in every way I can. I'm the master of PERSUASION! Finally Mum agreed!

I can still remember clearly that it was almost night when we arrived my sister friend's house. She approached us with a shoe box. Can you imagine? In the lil shoe box, there's two cute fluffy lil' rabbits in there. My heart melts! I guess this is what they called as "Love at First Sight".

This is one of the pair, named Angelina. Of course with Anglina, we had Brad but then it seems that I don't have a picture of Brad as Brad only lives with us a few days before escaping. When we found Brad, he can barely survive the night due to the rain!

 

We then went back to my sister's friend and get another rabbit for Angelina which is then named Joe. We kinda avoid to use the same name twice as each rabbit bring different memories back!

 

Hi, Joe!

 

After that, the passion for rabbit expand. Over the past 5 years, there had been good and bad memories in between with each rabbit come and go. One thing for sure is that, each left memories in me. I do learn a lot from them. Love is universal!

 

This is just some of it

 

There's just lots of rabbits over the years. One of the best memories is with Ah Boon. The name "Ah Boon" actually comes from a friend who have two toys that are named "Ah Boon & Ah Beng". So it kinda match. Ah Beng would be the one on the on the upper left from the picture above.

 

Here's Ah Boon

 

He's a very active bunny. He often sneaked out of his cage and went to the kitchen begging for carrots. It's a loss for us here when he's dead due to my careless for not locking the garden cage properly. Dogs sneaked in at night and 3 lives gone. For his cheerfulness, I shall remember him forever....

 

A lop called Ah Lian

 

 

Picture taken a few days after we have her

 

She's my first lop ear bunny, bought at a pet shop with RM 60. Her cuteness is often mistaken for her to be as cute as a puppy. She left us due to mites. That is a lesson learnt to never delay a vet visit.

 

 

Lily is her name!

 

 

 

Last picture of her

 

This was taken few days before we loss her due to flood last December after a year with her. Miss her terribly.

 

 There's always rainbow after rain. Here's all my grandchildren by Ah Beng, the best mommy!

 

 

 



 

 

My very first of survival litter

 

 

 

 



The smallest in this second litter

 

 

There's always a mischievous one

 

 

A New Year bunnies

 

 

Last litter in the year 2012- December

 

The last litter for now.

 

There's four in the litter. Unfortunately, we lost 2 due to the haze and heat earlier this year. So we were only left with two. However, I only have this one with me. One given away. ='(

 

I would honestly say that many object this hobby of mine and one of the most objection comes from Mum herself. As we go on, she finally learnt to accept and love them as well. Believe it or not, my first litters ( does not survive) was noticed by Mum herself.

 

Deep down, I want to thanked every one of them for being there in my life!
