my kitty died. with eyes open, frozen (rigor mortis?) in a lying position. possibly reaching out for me to come save it.

barely a month old. and i didn't do all i could to save it. it was the cutest. it loved to sit on my shoulders, closing its eyes and resting. and it came running whenever i came home. goodbye, kitty. i know you are still around with us. in spirit. cos u know we loved you from the moment i picked you up from the drain you were stuck in.

here's to you, my darling adorable kitty.

Thank you for loving us.

we'll remember you for being the fuzzy thing running around following me while i went about doing my stuff. take good care.

e.

i have descended to the depths of hell. the devil herself (?) is the Dentist. all dressed in white robe and face-mask. not now, not after just reading about Nazi atrocities at Auschwitz. uuurrgggghhh. so today was my first time to a dentist after about 15 years. in all that time all manner of plaque and what-nots have attached themselves to my crowning glory, my chompers. and so my nightmare began... one hour plus of grinding and sucking. can still taste the blood, oi. good as new now! hehehe almost worth the torture, and the financial damage... ouch.

for those in a fix for some quickie SM - visit the nearest dental clinic. sure to please wan. what more, it's legal. ouch. mmmm. there's a scene in the movie Marathon Man from umpteen years ago, where Dustin Hoffman is tortured by Nazis in a dental chair. that scene plays in my head every time i visit that place. adoi.

waterfalls are fun! was at the one at Hulu Langat, which took 2 hours to find. oh it was nice. natural slides, ultra-cold water, and greenery. evidently some idiot has been illegally felling the bamboo in the area, probably to make lemang for Raya. stop it will ya. go get it from the pasar borong. the waterfall was full of people but managed to find a quiet-enough spot to laze about in, without having someone trip on my face or something like that. weee! now i wonder what exciting thing shall i do next weekend... cable car ride to genting? a day at the beach? mmm. please send me your ideas - very much appreciated!

back to work, ladies and gentlemen. take good care and have the loveliest week.
