went to a pet shop this afternoon after school. its in a quiet corner near the victoria market. on the ground level, they sold dog and cat stuff like collars, chew bones, food etc and at the back were puppies. terriers, mini schnauser, maltese mixes, etc.

i was looking at the puppies and then it dawned on me why people get pets. ive been lucky, ever since i was a toddler, theres always a dog in the family. shan shan, bill, shan shan's 4 children, including ah don, and now feebee.

ah don used to sleep in my room with me. i remember coming back from clubbing nights, and seeing ah don awake and waiting for me on the 1st floor, barking at me for coming home so late. and then follow me to the second floor where our room is.

at around 6am, when my mom gets up for her shift, she would open my door to let her out, and she would crawl out of the house, go under the gate and pee outside by the road by herself, then sleepy eyed, climb the stairs again, scratch on my door, i'll open it, and we both go back to sleep until my class at 10.

i miss those days.

or how she didnt need a leash when we walked her. she would run ahead and every few secs, look behind to make sure we're there, then run ahead some more.

or how once she licked the backside of the kittens we picked up. i didnt know why she was doing that and at that time i stopped her. i only recently learnt that it was so the kittens could shit or pee. thats what the mother cats do.

or how she liked car rides, and she would run into people's cars and refuse to get out until they placate her by driving round the carpark once.

i miss her.
she turned out more human than some. and thats why people have dogs.

one more try.

I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't just let me go...

'Cos teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Donkey Cabbages.

Now, the huntsman said to himself "I have travelled for such a long time. i will take a rest for once, and entered that beautiful castle. I have certainly money enough." Nevertheless, the real reason was that he caught sight of that beautiful girl. He entered the house, and was well recieved and courteously entertained. Before long, he was so in love with the young witch that he no longer thought of anything else, and only saw things as she saw them.
