Twenty Four Slash Seven

Last Saturday we send Whinie and blacky back home to where they belong. They look fit enough to be independence I guess. They were in our monitoring for the last 2 weeks. Not knowing the pros and cons, we took the responsible and every detail needed exclude the dogs’! I really pity them because the mother would not want to breast feed them anymore and they both always look weak and hungry. So I think there were more pros than cons which finally got me the courage to brought them into the car and drive them both to our home at Riveria.
It was around evening time when we arrived home. Thank God that we managed to get a small cage from my brother’s clinic. The dogs were overexcited and happy for they get new friends while the kids got some mix feelings the moment they see some big dogs, trying to byte them. But things seem to be fine after 2 hours. The 8 weeks kids need to have enough food for their diet. My wife always prepares the milks in 3 x 600ml bottles and each bottle is enough for a kid. We also started to train them to eat fresh grass which they did and clean water everyday is a must. Believe it or not, Dresden my friendly dog observes too much until one day I caught him eating grass with the kids…. Oh no….Bruxels like wise always lick the kids butt and fur as if they were hers’. Too bad doggies, they don’t bark like you two. The kids like wise often jump like the doggies longing to be hugs and pats as if they are little puppies. So surprisingly that one day, they jump towards me and rest on my stomach!! Adoi.. what happen here I ask myself.. Since the bond was getting stronger, the moment wanting to say good bye was so hard. I can feel what Dresden and Bruxles felt. The moment we put the kids in the car, Dresden and Bruxels barked non stop and once I saw Bruxels putting his head on the walls like she wanted to cry. Well my wife and I got to be strong on this. It is for everyone benefits especially the kids.

By having more living creatures at home means more works and things to do and this really testing our relationship, patience and endurance. My wife is a strong person. Even how sick she is, those animals will get the 1st class care by her. So after coming back from the farm that Saturday afternoon, we treat ourselves with good food at The Spring and yes, we watched 8.40pm, the 2 hours movie entitled the twilight saga, the eclipse which I think I need to buy the DVD because few minutes after the movie was playing, I slept and snored like a baby pig not knowing that Bella was trying hard to seduce me… Ahacksssss! Hahhaahha! I wonderhow was the people surrounds me reacted??? Thank God there was also dark besides light! After the movie end, we quickly ran out of the cinema… Don’t want them to recognize my famous face….

Yesterday I attended church while my fatigue wife was at home resting. I know she needs more rest than me after her work load at the barn and also at home. In the afternoon, we decided to bring Dresden and Bruxels to the barn to visit the kids and yes we did. They were quite restless in the car, jumping ups and downs the seat and after they got tired only then they went off to sleep. Mom, Ezra and Megan also followed us and everybody was so excited including me. We were at the barn from 3 to 6PM. That night, we had dinner at Sri Ijah’s. Dad promised a weak earlier that he’s going to cooked Bah Ku and he did it that Sunday evening. The soup was great and the pork was so tenderly done. I think that was the 1st time we brought the dogs over and they were so happy due to the big compound, they were able to run here and there.. Besides us, my aunt and uncle from Batu Kawah joint us. Oh yeah, my wife mak ulam also. Thanks honey!
It was a great way to spend the weekends what else if it is with your family members. Last time my Saturdays and Sundays are my resting days, but know it has change, temporarily due to the project that I have and thank to mom, dad, wife, Jaja and Andy who always physically help me at the barn. I will not make it if it’s not because of you all!

Welcome Summer!

I went back home today to milk the kids and to feed Bruxels and Dresden. Having kids at the backside of our home I think made them both happy and excited all the times. At least they see something new and can be their toys. Bruxels, a female border collie didn’t managed to get herself from being spayed due to her weak condition. So when she saw those kids, her mother instinct showed up automatically and became protective over the kids. She will carry the kids in his mouth and bring them to a safer area. Though they don’t speak the same language where Bruxels and Dresden bark while Billy and Winnie Mbekkkk, the bond of love is felt among them. Gosh, I was so surprised that last night, I saw Dresden eating grass together with the kids. I hope this is a temporary scenario and it would change by next week when we send those kids back to Toda’s farm. Else I need to send him to rumah ukoi gila.. ada ke?.
When I was about to leave home, I looked at my cell phone, I saw 3 miscalls from my friend Simon and another sms from him asking me to call him back which I did. Talking to him is like a never ending story. We can chat until night or perhaps continue back after sleep and proceed until there’s nothing else to talk about. But since I was driving back to work, it was a compact 10 minutes conversation telling me that our friend Larence, whom was also his ex-housemate, died from stroke last Saturday. He was attending the funeral and didn’t manage to inform me earlier and another one is confidential which I am very reluctant to share here in my blog. Anyway, you know what to do kaban. There’s nothing which is impossible if you trust GOD!

Mbekkkkk...

Oleh Azran Jaffar,Berita Harian:DAGING kambing dikatakan sebagai panas, mereka yang menghidap penyakit tekanan darah tinggi mungkin tidak mahu mengambil daging kambing kerana percaya ia akan meningkatkan tekanan darah.Namun pandangan ini disanggah pakar bioteknologi pembiakan, Prof Dr Ramli Abdullah yang mana katanya, kadar lemak kambing hampir sama dengan ayam iaitu kira-kira tiga peratus.Apa yang berlaku ialah mereka mungkin mengambil daging kambing biri-biri kerana berbanding kambing, peratus lemak dalam biri-biri ialah sebanyak 16 peratus.Mengenai panas, sememangnya daging kambing panas dan kerana itu penduduk di negeri China gemar mengambil daging kambing pada musim sejuk kerana ia dapat memanaskan badan, katanya.Katanya, persepsi makan daging kambing boleh meningkatkan tekanan darah sudah lama di kalangan masyarakat kita dan apa yang berlaku, faktor psikologi yang mungkin meningkatkan tekanan darah seseorang.Ini kerana, persepsi itu sudah disematkan dalam kepala dan dengan mengambil daging kambing, secara psikologi ia mungkin meningkatkan tekanan darah kerana seseorang itu mungkin berasa risau terhadap kesan yang mungkin dialami, katanya.Digolongkan sebagai daging merah, daging kambing mempunyai rasa unik dan ia dikelaskan sebagai cabrito atau chevon bergantung kepada usia ternakan ini disembelih.Cabrito ialah daging kambing yang berusia seminggu dan banyak digunakan untuk tujuan barbeku serta digemari kumpulan etnik tertentu, manakala chevon pula daging kambing dewasa.Bagi 100 gram daging kambing yang dipanggang ia mengandungi 143 kalori, 27 gram protein, 3 gram lemak, 3.7 miligram zat besi, 85 miligram sodium dan 75 miligram kolestrol.Secara perbandingan, bagi setiap 3 auns daging kambing yang dimasak ia mengandungi 2.58 gram lemak dan 0.79 asid lemak tepu berbanding biri-biri yang mengandungi 16 gram lemak dan 7.3 asid lemak tepu.Kata Prof Ramli, ini jelas menunjukkan kadar lemak dan kolestrol pada daging kambing kurang daripada biri-biri dan lembu. Malah, sebuah universiti di New York juga menjalankan kajian yang mana daging kambing diberikan kepada penghidap penyakit kardiovaskular.Seperti juga dagingnya, susu kambing mempunyai khasiat tertentu dan dijadikan antara susu alternatif, tambahan kepada susu ibu. Ia dikatakan lebih mudah diresapi, rendah lemak serta laktosa dan kaya kandungan protein.Nikotinik asid yang terkandung di dalam susu kambing dikatakan membantu fungsi pencernaan, memperbaiki kesihatan kulit, meningkatkan pengaliran darah serta menghalang migrain juga menghilangkan bau nafas.Meminum segelas susu kambing panas sebelum tidur mampu memberikan tidur yang nyenyak dan ia juga baik bagi kanak-kanak dan orang dewasa yang menghadapi masalah kencing malam (bed-wetting).Sebuah buku yang ditulis untuk Majlis Penyelidikan Asma dan Persatuan Eczema Kebangsaan mencadangkan penggunaan produk berasaskan kambing bagi merawat lelah, eczema serta masalah kulit

1st Week afte a long Holiday...

It is football fever again. The world cup is in Channel one every day at 2-4 am. Yes, one needs to either sleep early and wake up before the game starts or don’t sleep at all, wait until the game is over. My wife likes to watch football while I’m not. She could talk about it while I’m totally having no idea who is who and from where they come from. *LUNCH* Oh, I feel so sleepy after lunch. The hot topic just now was England! Not their football team, but England as it is, because one of our friends will be flying from Kuching-KL-Amsterdam-Wales this coming Monday for a week business trip. Currently it is spring there while in middle July it would be summer. Today is my brother’s birthday. Hmm, still thinking on what to get for him. Maybe a slimming kit? A diet program perhaps? Or a GYM membership at Level up for a year?? Or buying something for his clinic needs… Entahlah labu.. maybe I just come with an empty stomach because dad is making nasi ayam. On the 2nd thought, maybe those diet program are meant for me.. huhuhu… I thought of getting a ½ day leave this afternoon since I have quite a number of leaves left. It’s Friday and the family already have plan to do. At least I don’t have to think on my own agenda otherwise it would always be eating and eating at some fancy restaurant!

Happy Holidays

Selamat Gawai Dayak to all of you. We did not celebrate gawai this year, same as last year and the year before last year. It’s not that we want to skip it but I think let Gawai Day become the day we as a family go out for “Ngabang” and have some fun! Indeed for the past few years, my dancing skills improved compare to years and years ago. Regular practice would make everything perfect! I agree!
The 1 week Gawai holidays which I took seems to be not enough for me to reenergize. I can’t blame anyone except for my self for being into so intimate with the social city which most of my time being burnt in front of the lappy… Well the time will come if I need to let it go, just like what happen to my Café World! Hey, I know my limit and I also know when to stop. I’m in control!
30th May was our 1st year anniversary. How did we celebrate? Emmmm… we managed to watch movie at the Spring but we went back under a heavy thunder storm with a piece of summon by the police traffic reasoned my car is blocking the traffic! Apa kelas!!! I dint’ want to spend RM300 just to pay the ticket so I managed to write a letter to ask for some reduction. Wife gave me RM100 in advance and the rest I need to use my own. At the traffic office, I kind of begged to the lady at the counter. I didn’t get the chance to give her the “love letter” since she said that they will not entertain any pardons nor what so ever you said it. Encik, and kena bayar kami RM30.00. What?! I sound rather shocked than happy, disbelief on what I heard? Berapa cik puan? RM30, she replied back. The first thing I did was to put back the letter which I wrote inside my bag and slowly with a smiley face, I gave her RM30.00.
Now a days I’m keen on forgetting something be it misplace something or forget to do something. So after I paid my summon, I drove to Hong Leong bank to pay my credit card debts. Never learnt from my lesson, I parked my car again at the yellow line. Ah! It’s too early for the police traffic to do their duty at this hour! I bet they are still at home sleeping! So I left my car about 500 meters walked to the bank and did my business without rush. Done, so I walked back while searching for my car keys, OMG, I could not find it. I searched in and out, up and down and high and low but still not find it. So I rushed to the car and wallah! The car key was inserted into the door lock hole hanging free for anyone who sees it and drive it back home! Yarabi.. what happen to me, so careless already! Thank God nobody sees it and left me alone walking to the police station and tell them where I had parked my car… huhuhuu…. Padan muka…
So I promised myself not to parked like samseng anymore form that time onward! So the last thing which I need to do that morning was to pay my tax at the LHDN. I parked infront of Picadilly Pub, took out my parking coupon and walked across the road to LHDN. Hmmm Rm55 for 2009 tax. I tought I’m over paid! What happen to the system?? Feel being robbed by the government, I quickly walked back to the car and feeling hungry some more, I searched for a place to have something to eat. Since I’m very near to Batu lintang, hmm why not rojak kuchei? I had a glass of Big Ice Tea special and a plate of rojak kuchei. Ya ya , I parked at the yellow line again because the car park was full and so small for my Naza. Hmmmm, seems that I can keep promise within half a day only, perhaps within 2 hours, than it will be broken…
