Dear BLOG| 7th day of Nicky Passed

Today mark the 7th day of Nicky passed and he doesn't come back to visit us, or maybe he doesn't make any noise when come in to the house. I hope he gave me some signal of his appearance. I wish he is good there in the heaven.

Past few days was quite a struggle one, not mentally (I'm accepting the fact that he left) but physically because the iguana out there kept dig out his grave. I'm angry but at the same time think this is the circle of life, maybe. We built up a stone grave now and no more digging happen anymore. I'm grateful for that.

After his passed, Lucky (another dog of mine) seems a bit abnormal or I would say manja. She will knock the door (literally use her hand to knock the door ok!) and ask to come in the house. It probably also due to fire crackers as well as thunder storm out there, but she just different in her way of sleeping. Momi said she miss him, did she? She not used to loving Nicky anyway, but I think she somehow miss his accompany and annoyances.

We miss you, boy!

Hope you come back and visit us and I know you always can't recognise the route back home but please let us know when you come back ok?

I miss you and wanted to dream of you one more time. Please be careful when you walk on the street because it's raining now. Be safe and be a happy angel in the heaven.

Miss you.

xoxo
Your sis, Lydia

Dear BLOG | Nicky Passed


Hello everyone who know Nicky Boy, my boy!

150520 is a remarkable day for all of us, Nicky has passed and I think he is ready to face the death (although I am still not ready for his death). 

This will be a letter to my boy, my little angel and I know I'd updated in instagram. Just want to update it at every single platform including my journal later on.

Dear Boy, 

You have a name, Nicky and all of us just love to call you boy as in your name was just boy. You are tiny and skinny. My friend used to say I tortured you and never give you food, but you are just what you are. You ran and barked (no longer last 2 years ago when you became weak) at things, your high curiosity make us laughed everytime coz you will just bark at lizard on the wall as in you calling the lizard to come down. You will also bark at people but you are kind that you don't bite. People tend to scare of you because you bark at them fiercely but you are the kindness dog (I used to refer you as human) in my heart. You wouldn't bite at all, unless you are totally frighten or afraid of something.

Neighbours used to complain about how noisy you are but you seem understand and getting lesser on the barking part. You understand what we said everytime and will pay attention on what we said everytime, a little supervisor aka busybody in the house. Walking around the house and trying to be the supervisor of everyone. You win!

We used to say you are so cute that you listen to what we gossip about, especially when we talked about you. You will stare with your cute eyes at us. How cute is that. And your smile is the best, although they said you are just thirsty but I believe you are smiling at us. 

You have camera shy or you just too excited when come to taking picture. Getting a nice picture took a lot longer and effort, hence less picture for you. If I know this will happen, I will get a trail of your growing up pictures, but we can't go back to what we'd lost and appreciate the current phase of life. I miss you so much! 

14.5 years is a long dog life, but I just couldn't accept the fact that we need to face this reality so soon. It just getting to used to how life going on in this family. Sis always told me to face the reality that you will leave us real soon, and after Milky passed she assured me that you will leave us real soon. You are already a strong boy that have a rather longer life compared to her (5 months longer), you are really great and I love you. 

I also feel grateful that you have passed when I am in the middle of this CMCO lockdown thingy! You let me see you for the last time and I still miss you. You know I somehow have auditory hallucination that you are crying in pain just now after you passed. I told momi that I think I heard you crying and momi assured me that she also heard that. We miss you so much and please let go of your pain and to the heaven. Hope I couldn't see you in 7th day and I wish you let us see you in very obvious way. 

Boy, we still reminiscing of your pictures and videos that make us laugh so much. How cute you were past few years until you got really sick these few days. You have showed us how brave you overcome the few sickness that you had for the past few years and you make it until today. We don't want you to suffer anymore, we love you and we hope you become the happiest angle in the heaven!

Boy, I think Lucky felt you'd passed, she went in the house and lay down on the floor with a sad face. I know she can be very fierce on you, don't blame her because she jealous on how we treated you when you are sick. She just being too jealousy but she is also very kind at the same time. She loves you too. Your very best friend in the house and you both always sit together and you love to follow her around. I know this is how you show your kindness to her. You both make me laugh sometimes but she left alone now after your passed but it's alright we are still there with you both. Little angel!

This is the first picture we'd for you and you was like 3 or 4 years old.

You came to us on 2 days after momi's birthday (1/22/2006) and passed 2 days before momi and papa's wedding anniversary (5/15/2020). Is this what you want us to remember you? I will always remember you no matter where you have gone to. 

You will always be our little angel in heart and you can go and find Odie (introduce you another little angel in heaven that gone 15 years ago).


You see how fun you are when you with your "best" buddy Lucky?

The day when momi feed both of you, you both were so eager to get your piece of meat. I love seeing your face, looking at momi eagerly. 

Gathering day

I think this is also last year when we have gathering with aunty and uncle one random day. You just too cute not to take picture of it. You just randomly came in to supervise everyone of us then went out to your usual place and sleep. 

Your face look old but you are the cutest!

Sunbathing few years ago

Your hair as usual less but this time momi choose to cut for you and you looks so awfully sad with the haircut. You were so fat and strong those days, sleeping on the floor and your leg and hand like this. It's a rare case but I love it.

The usual way of sleeping

I don't know why you look at the camera like this but you used to sleep like this.. curl like a cinnamon roll and sleep peacefully. And you will always turn and turn  and turn (like mary-go-round) only you lay down at your most comfortable way. 

But you were too weak last two days then you keep fell down when you turn it. Heartbreak by looking at it my little angel.

2017

You used to have skin disease (so you know why momi love to cut your hair now!?) but you are still the cutest I have seen. You will still give big smile when you see all of us here. This is taken when I'm having some study week or something (or jobless!?) daysss.

You always hard to selfie with but I still force you too. I'm sorry.


"You want to fight is it"

I can't remember when this was taken but I laughed when I view this picture. Your resting-bitch-face somehow make my day. 

Shit! Now I heard your voice *auditory hallucination again*

This is when Lucky waiting for you to left over your food.

She used to look at you when you are having your food because she wished that you left over for her. So cute right!? But no more sharing after you are sick and I think she got kinda jealous a bit on the food portion. It's alright, she will get her share.

See! This is what I said, you both will sleep "together"

Lucky doesn't like you to bother her but you somehow always love her more than yourself, so here the way you accompany her. LOL

Christmas 2019

This is the last Christmas we had together and you as a Santa Claus of the house. Momi bought this shirt so that you are able to wear it during Christmas time and apparently it doesn't fit you so modified a bit lah. I know it is kinda weird but you still happy with it. 

Some random happy day of you.

I guess this is the only perfect picture of me and you.

You don't like take picture especially you can't really stand still for a picture. Too excited on everything but you look super cute here!! I love how your tongue stick to your nose. 


This is when insta is on trend 2013!

The picture quality wasn't that great back then but it's still alright to post a picture of you, my little angel. I don't regret of posting and felt grateful that at least I got picture of you before year 2015.

I'll always remember the happiest moment with you. 

I'll remember how I used to carry you while doing homework, how you used to really excited when we went to the kitchen (your young sleeping place), how you will smile at us excitedly, how you always busybody around, how you supervise everyone in the house, how you get mad at papa when he hits your head badly, how you forgive everyone if they hit your head (we always say sorry to him sincerely), how you have forgive papa after he said sorry to you (you never ever bark or chase after him anymore), how you always follow Lucky, how you always so sweet and smiling.........


And how you passed....

You are the best angel in our heart.

You are brave and you never struggle so much when you passed.. I believe you'd ready to go for it (although I still struggle to accept it), ready to say goodbyes to everyone of us...

I love and miss you so muchhhhhh

You are always loved and never forgotten. Rest easy, Boy!

I hope you love the flower from our garden, momi pluck some for you.

As well as those Japanese flowers that planted by momi and you know how she loves those flowers
Hope you love it too

I'll see you again tomorrow

Rest in peace, boy!

And Bro drew you a picture and we will write something for you and frame it. 

We will always love and miss you Boy!

Rest in peace, Boy!

Dear BLOG| It's May!

Hello Happy Labour Day!

Just off work and thinking to write something before Yoga class. After listening to the announcement, I am getting worried about the spreading of virus now!

I am really not ready to go back office and work. I miss my colleagues but somehow I am getting to used to working at home already. Woke up late, get ready faster and work in an efficient way. How I wish to just stay at home for the longest time.

All my friends were talking about don't willing to go back office now HAHAHAHA! They were first not willing to stay at home kind, but after 44 days working at home, everyone get really happy and enjoy the work-from-home scenario. Looking outside from our bed instead of office desk, chit chatting via team instead of personal talk, "misusing" company team to chat around and etc. We are too comfortable on how we are now. I am not ready!

What I'd achieved during this whole month of April at home, pretty impressive. At least I felt impressive on myself.

1. Exercise among everyday

I did exercise for the whole month without failed (ok, probably 1 or 2 cheat days) and it's like a daily routine now. Off laptop at 5.45pm, start a video call with friends and here you go our home-based yoga classes.

I was all alone doing the exercise for the first 2 weeks, but more friends joining the crowd (okla, just 2 to 3 persons in a session LOL) of yoga together. I have more fun when we do it together and the time flies!

2. Learned to bake bread

This is something I am freaking proud with. I used to fail in baking but now I am not bake a freaking bread with the ingredients, and I'm gonna bake with my colleague tomorrow. Stay tuned for the bake making process LOL

3. Update blog often

Alright, I think I'd updated quite a lot these days throughout the years. Pretty awesome to stay alive in blog space. I understand most people don't blog anymore, but writing out make me feel comfortable and the way to self express myself. This is me LOLOL!

4. Update my own journal

Pretty awesome that I never skip any page in my journal and everything was written nicely. How great are these MCO make me become. I am no longer slacking on updating my journal. Every tick mark I'd nicely apply in the journal. I am so HAPPY!

5. Read more books compared to not in MCO days

I read a lot these days, basically just re-read all my old story book that I'd abandoned long time ago. It's great to read every single one now and I'd make it a habit, read before bed time. This is to calm myself for every thought that bother me every time.

This is a great method to release tense or anxious at the end of the day *thumb up*.

6. Self-reflection

I self-reflect a lot these days and I used to feel sad/sorrow/unhappy when I see something on social media, but now I'm like immune on everything. No longer being sad or unhappy about it already! Self-reflection works! I think I'm gonna do meditation next time, level up on my state of mind LOLOL!

All-in-all, I'm freaking not ready to go back office after MCO lift. Please let me stay for another month so that I can achieve something that I wanted to achieve many years. I might success after another month, probably lah!

But then again, hope I don't ruin these habits that I'd built up during these MCO days.

I am sorry
Please forgive me
I love you
Thank you

PS: Start my yoga class now! Stay tuned!

Dear BLOG| My Baby Is Suffering

Hello to people who has pet/pets!

My baby boy has been with us for the past 14 years plus and today is the third he is suffering from some pain that we didn't know. He just woke up at 4 a.m. (my mom woke up and have a look at him), and walk around the house until 8.30 a.m. (I woke up at 6 a.m. to replace mom and look at him). I couldn't imagine he will leave us (NO! He is still in the hospital now) someday. 

My mom looks at me and say we just put him to sleep and see he is suffering! I just couldn't imagine he will leave us one day and I believe he can go through this pain (I guess is stomach pain but old age makes everything looks serious). Mom fetched him to the vet now, and I really hope there is nothing wrong with him and everything will be alright. 

I just couldn't put him in sleep! I COULDN'T! And sis wasn't here to say good bye, I am not ready yet! I cried when mom just told Nicky, we love you but we don't want you to suffer. How!? I just couldn't not cry on this. I know it's very selfish to just want him to stay but I just want him to choose his life instead of me set a death sentence to him. 

I just couldn't!

He really my baby since 14 years ago and now he will still remain a baby to me even though he already very old in dog's life. Baby will always baby, just like mom will always be mom who love us so much.

**************************

Mom got back from the vet and the doctor said FOOD POISONING thanks GOD!

Not very serious matter but he sounds like it. We are so worried but now is all good. I don't wish anything could happened during this MCO coz we are not complete yet. Sis wasn't here!

Hope everything will be fine after this.

************************
Update after 2 hours when he came back from vet

I thought he was fine, but he is not! Keep crying and banging the wall, and I don't know how to handle all these without crying. I locked myself in the room so that everyone wouldn't see my cry like a baby, but how can I stop myself from crying? It's my baby suffering!!

We called the vet and he told us that we need to be patience and he is not a GOD (understand from his POV lah but really heartache when you see baby crying there). Hence, we need to how's his condition tomorrow and now he is not making any noise anymore.

Hope is all fine now! I really have no mood to work anymore, feeling sleepy but I'm scare I woke up with baby gone! I don't want this to happen at all. Please help!

I love you
I am sorry 
Please forgive me

Dear BLOG| Single by 30

Hey guys!

After 4 years of waiting, I finally get to watch Single by 30 (Wong Fu Production) series in YouTube for FREE! I'm very excited on how this had finally come to me.

I'd been watching Wong Fu series for like 10 years and this series was published in YouTube Red back then (since 2016), so I couldn't get to watch it for free or I think country restriction as well. No idea why, but today is the day that I got to watch it like finally!

I'm so exciting right now at this moment.

I must write down this excitement before I forget the next moment.

Dear BLOG| Dad says

Hey guys!

I've been really into baking these days, from cake to bread to scone. Never thought that I can master the baking skill during this MCO days.

Skill unlocked!

Things that dad says..

When he ate my banana bread last week...

Mom: XX, ho chiak? (nice?)
Dad: Bo ho chiak (Not nice)
Me: Huh? Bu hao chi meh? (not nice meh?), wo zuo de le (I bake one)
Mom: Papa doesn't like it la means you bake badly..
Dad: *surprise* ni zuo de a (you bake one a?)
Me: Shi de (YES!)
Dad: mmmm.. Hao Chi! Hao Chi (very nice!)
Mom: He give you encouragement to try more HAHAHAHAHA
Me: Shi lo, ta an wei wo (yes lo, he console me T__T)

When he ate my scone

Me: Hao chi ma?
Dad: Hao chi hao chi (Nice nice!)

My dad always encourages me by eating all the food baked by me! He doesn't really praise in front of us but action make it all (I guess this is one of the family culture we are having since young).

Never give up, there is no such thing as an ending.
Just a new beginning

Dear BLOG| Que Sela Sela

"Whatever will be will be"
Heard this in one of the Taiwanese artist's interview, and felt it so deeply. This was a song from Spain, you can search it if you are interested in.

It's true that life is just unpredictable, whatever will be, it will be and we can't actually stop or work to stop for it. Everything happened for a reason, which I always said so.

You could stop a moment but yet the result seem to be the same no matter how you have try to change or stop. Whatever will be, will be.

We shall appreciate every moment of our life to the fullest and be contented on what we have.

Self note: you must be!

It's always easy to say, but action prove everything. Action!

This is one of the thing that I'd read in every motivational/self-help book. Action makes it reality, and eventually whatever will be, will be!

Be grateful and thank you for every moment of life either bad or good.

Bad lesson always create a good memory of your life, remember the bad lesson and learn from it. Never ever repeat what it had been done. When some of them actually said bad memory shall be forgotten but my POV is that bad memory suffered most people either day or night but somehow you will know what the bad actually helps to fill up some of the doubt that you usually can't figure out if you don't think about it.

No offend, but if you don't speak out of anything, there will always be hole (even speak out also got hole lah, but my point is that at least clear doubt that couldn't actually fill up) in your heart, and you will no longer speak in sincere way. I've a hole in heart like 1.5 years and it started to heal after the speak out, things that I'd thought previously was too complicated but after speak out, I felt it was just a very small matter of my life. There are a huge crisis out there in the world and I'm still living in my own small world. Side note: Covid-19 please #stayathome

Whatever will be, it will be.

Forcing is not a good thing, and it will heal someday when you feel it will be.

I love you
I am sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you
