Toy poodle I fell for

It was love at first sight when i saw this 2 month old sweet toy poodle.i read its high maintenance as i need to brush the curly hair n groom it every single day.such a sweet baby.but will the fat jealous pussy bully a small puppy.the last time at the vet he tried to swipe the nose of a toy poodle with his sharp claws.the owner of the poodle called him an evil cat. This puppy will be bullied by pussy.Look at Jack the corgi who shows no tantrum or jealousy at this small puppy as Jack has the sweetest temper and docile character unlike the aggresive angry cat of ours as said by the vet.he even disturbs the geriatic cat in the next cage at the hospital until they put cardboard partition between the cages. A toy poodle will be mauled by the very jealous Captain kitty .sigh.

Beautiful Sunday zumba

I enjoyed the zumba in the park on Sunday. I was dancing last week when i saw a white haired elderly man take off his rubber slippers and danced barefoot with exuberance in front of us.He danced to his own moves not following the instructors actions.What a free spirit expressing his own joy of moving to the music,oblivious of not following the crowd. This morning I recognised him as Stan Lee founder of the Urban Sketchers when he took out his drawing pad to sketch the dancers.What a small world.Stan as an artist is a free spirit who doesnt follow the beat and does his own thing,not copycats like us.I felt shy when he asked me if ive kept up with my drawing but my pet cat and baking has kept me too busy.So Stan ignited the latent artist in me and next week i will bring my sketchbook to peace park.

Independent bookshops

i think bookshops and libraries are storehouse of knowledge I like browsing at independent bookshops like Areca bookstore,Silverfish and Gerakbudaya for they sell non mainstream books. For International Womens Day,I attended an event at Gerakbudaya bookshop.It featured a talk show by the translator of Malay author Fatimah Busu's short stories; Pauline Fan and two Malay writers.Im impressed by Paulines Fans bilingual mastery of English and Malay as she switched effortlessly between speaking in both languages.Kudos to non Malay Malaysians who have indepth knowledge and passion for Malay culture from Eddin Khoo of Pusaka for his preservation of Wayang kulit and Mak Yong to Sunetra Fernando and Jillian Ooi gamelan troupe Rhythm in Bronze. Its good to see how Grassroot activists are working in NGOs to secure the rights of refugees n stateless children,abused women and children who are victims of sexual abuse.The government should engage with these NGOs when reforming state policies as they have firsthand experience of these issues.Im proud of our young female activists fight against period poverty to child sexual grooming Engage Media made two short movies showcasing the digital rights of social media users.They are bringing awareness of issues like cyberbullying,sexual grooming of underaged kids and slander n misinformation on the net.Great job that they are going to schools and educational institutes to inform the young not to be exploited on the internet.Sex education starts from home and open minded discussions can prevent tragedies from happening .Asian society taboo on talk on sex education will harm the children.im horrified by the case in the news of a grandfather who raped his granddaughter from the age of 5.She is 10 years old now before the abuse came to light.This tragedy is not the fault of the poor child but parents who trust family members too much.im in full support of reform of laws to act swiftly to punish offenders for their deviant perverted acts.just look at the case in France where a French surgeon raped hundreds of sedated patients and even his sons young friends.look at the case of the French husband who drugged his wife and invited hundreds of strangers to gang rape her This is vile.Imagine this happening in the land that honoured the Lady of Liberty holding a torch to enlighten women empowerment.

. The state must act to deter future abuse of women and children.

t only cost rm 5..its my feng shui ear ring as its the Buddhist eternal knot It symbolises the universe has no beginning or ending and represents the infinite nature of Buddhas wisdom n compassion.

How a title tells a lot

im intrigued by this Spanish poets Jaime Gil De Baidma poetry by perusing its title If only for a moment( I will never be young again),it seems to embody the YOLO spirit of the young of today you know age is catching up on you when your memory bank gets leaky and your account gets blocked when you key in the photocopier password into bank ATM when your bladder gets leaky and you keep extra undies in your handbag for emergency use you know your days are numbered when you attend funerals more than weddings and the pasar malam vendor calls you Ah So Madam instead of liang lui or pretty girl you know your joints are problematic when you find it hard doing the balancing act over a squat toilet and the click sound comes from your shoulder joint and not the button of the camera phone. when replacements cause a bomb and you need eveything from a heart transplant to hair transplant from breasts implants to dental implants you find you are no longer irresistible shortly after only totally replaceable if only i can be young again if only for a moment
