27th Apr 09
Hot scorching sun soak wet my polo tee...
1200hrs, I went for a cat capture session with contractors. I personally combed the suspected areas of that particular block.
Culprit A - Has an owner...
Culprit B - Stood quietly one side...
I edged toward A, it ran for its life toward an unit.
So I happened to saw B by one side. Instructions given, cage placed. We all waited patiently... Seconds past..
*pank!
Down the door came, locking B inside. Desperate claws pointed our like the way Wolverine in X-Men did. Scratching furiously against the door. I shook my head, informed contractor to send it away to other areas, instead sending to @vA for 'sleeping treatment', which I thought was real sinful.
1500hrs, a phone call came. Shouting on top of her voice saying,"I believe you guys just caught one of our sterilised cat! What do you think you are doing? You know by catching them, you are murdering them! You are a MURDERER!!"
For a split second, I paused my breath.
I was thinking, I didn't mean to do anything bad... It just did not come across my mind. But for my profession, I need to answer... "But Mdm. Sending it to @vA is our responsibility. Any stray c@ts found on open areas, we have the authority to remove it, especially when it is causing a nuisance to residents."
After she furious questions thrown to me one after another. I couldn't take it. I got my contractor to place the cat back on site.
I cannot say I was forced to do that. I just feel that I wasn't firm enough when handling these issues. I was taught numerous times by my colleague, on whatever SOP when dealing with these matters. But physically inside me, gave way... My soul took control.
I felt the word 'Murderer' just woke the inner soul of mine. For a moment, I felt I failed terribly as my profession for this simple case. Whereas, another part of me felt relieved, probably I indirectly saved that poor kitty. Now recalling the pitiful 'meow' while it is in cage, I certainly felt it.
What that Mdm had said to me,"You took a poor life away. With this cruel act, how can you sleep comfortably through the night?" I really understand it now.
The kitty leave another day.

Some thoughts & memories
22nd April 2009
I'm sitting down at my warm bedroom, watching the long awaited heavy downpour outside my windows. Wonder is it the effect of EarthDay (22 Apr 09)?? Some rain to chill the warm atmosphere at Singapore? Hope more kindness from Heaven for the upcoming days.
This few days post-dinner activity was to watch 9pm drama, "乒乓圆". Quite a boring drama (as usual). Even I, who don't even know how to set a ping pong ball, can clearly see that those fellas in the drama, do not even attain the basics of Table Tennis, before acting this drama! But I just wanna see how the underdog, He Sheng Wu, who was guided by Zhang Zi Yi, and finally or rather out of the blue, reach National Standard.
Sound silly. But as I watched, this brings back some past memories of my childhood....
During Primary 3, I was a normal student, who heads home straight after school. Only remedial lessons allow me to stay in school. I still remember once I went 'Void deck' soccer with friends, only to get myself dragged back home by Mum. With this absolute disgraceful incident, I become a JOKE. I started pulling myself further from friends. Although I love to play basketball or soccer with friends, well.. That day never comes.
So when I finally took up the courage to join the Soccer team as ECA. I attended 2 trainings, and the team was disband. *duhz... After this it was the annual sport day, I was always the one jogging aimlessly alone at the basketball court, during our House training (The school was divided into 4 Houses to complete in Sport Day). I not sure it's luck or fate. I was call up to participate.
But this is only because the selected guy for 100m was injured, a few days before Sport Day. The teacher-in-charge ask me to take part on behalf. Surprisingly I won the race. So from then on, I was asked to take part in whatever races (e.g. 100m, 200m, 4X100m)
Those were certainly times where I felt really proud of myself. I really cherish the moment I had.
Secondary School time, I was on my own. Took part in the events, won mostly Third prize. Suddenly those joy of winning seems fading away, as I couldn't find anyone to share.
Slowly... those facts become memories. Fade along with time. I just wonder when will I ever have the chance to shower in joy of my own success once again?
I'll be patient...

Something to think about
17th April 09
It is Friday...
A day where I stayed till 1900hrs at my workplace.
A day where I nearly overslept on bus while heading home.
A day where I isolate myself away from crowds.
A day where I thought that I shouldn't be laughing at others shortcomings.
Moments ago I went on YouTube to see what's the hip about "Susan Boyle". Published on Yahoo, reported with a amazing amount of more than 12Millions views!!
My secondary feeling after watching it, was : I was truly amazed by her voice, her ability to sing that song.
Primary feeling was : I'm touched by how the crowds gave Ms Susan (See it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY) standing applause, the loud cheers after she bowed upon completing the song.
From the moment, she stepped on stage. People was thinking, she could be another 'William Hung- like' performer. They laughed away at her looks, her gestures. But the minute, she sings, the crowds' laughters make a U-turn to cheers.
What worth my thoughts was, the Laughters. It is my habit or rather my character to laugh at others over their silly stunts. It is only recently when a colleague of mine who declared that he/she's is moving on from our coy, I started to regret what I've done in the past.
Call it a common mistake. I got stuck ed with this 'Croc's tears' thingy numerous times. Bad bad habit to adopt. But I couldn't help it. It's not that this colleague did lots good deeds for me, neither nor, she joked over me, backstabbing me. I just felt remorseful after discovering, that he/she is gone.
I doesn't have much friends, (think should use) I doesn't have much colleagues that I can get along well with. As quote from Jazs, "Lesser friends is better than lots foes."
Well, Let me try to learn from here.

Pity~
14th April 2009
I like the lyrics... Listening to the song, with the recent news floating in my mind, tears are forcing their way out of my eyelids
阿桑 - 保管

13th Apr 2009
It is 11 days past the day, I lived on Earth for a quarter of century. No special feelings, just thought I'm older.. That's all..
I was on leave on 2nd Apr. I slept till 10am... I step out of my house to Parkway Parade, hope to buy something I like. Aimlessly as I walked around, I stepped into Bengawan Solo an brought an extremely old-schooooool piece of cake.
Kaya Pandan Cake!!
Just in case this cake sounds alien-tic to you, it is a kinda cake coated with Kaya + Pandan paste all round the cake, adding some coconut fakes on the circumference. On top is a few drops of pinkish cream. Plain & simple cake. For your info, it costs $2 more than a Fresh Fruit cake!! *This surprise me too!
I dropped by my favourite Apollo Char Kuay Tiao at the Hawker Centre near the MacDonalds. Brought a $5 packet before heading home. *Luckily I got a $5 note with me!!
Afterwhich I shared the cake with my Dad who birthday falls on 6th Apr. Glad that Mum & Dad & my little nephew enjoyed the cake. Eventually the whole cake was only ate by they 3 plus ME. (Coz the rest of my family doesn't like a bit of the taste of Kaya w/ Pandan.)
To me, it doesn't matters. As long as Mum & Dad like the taste, do not find it difficult to eat, I very happy. Even it is without any birthday song sang, I feel blessed to enjoy it with them and I'm certainly thankful for that. = )
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So on that night, I went over to meet Jazs & my friends for an expensive dinner at BillyBombers Central. They doesn't like American foods, but accompany me in to dine, just to grant my wish! I am delighted that they brought me a Tee with Mr. Mao Z D's head formed by blink blink beads and my name at the back!! Post-dinner programme was talk-cock session at Brewerk Riverside, where I 'sank' a pint of beer plus a glass of Merlot (Courtesy of Jazs who can't take it..)
As quoted from my wife, Jazs' birthday card, 'No surprise given' but the time I had, the gift I've received had made my day on 2nd April 2009. Plus a bit special touch of feeling that this is the first time I'm spending my birthday as a Married Man.
I will like to say Thanks, and this includes friends who wrote on my Facebook wall, my colleagues who gave a present last Thursday, my pals and last but not least,
my dearest wife, Jazs.. Thank you...
