Buttercup Story

Tadi petang I pergi ke pasar ramadhan di Taman Suria. Before that singgah di Pet Shop di Larkin Perdana. Was trying to get kitten food for Buttercup, Berry's sister. Nearly a week dia tak berapa nak makan sangat. Purina Friskies for kitten memang dia tak mau makan langsung. Kadang-kadang menumpang makanan Friskies abang-abang dan mak dia. Most of the time dia makan nasi berlaukkan ikan, leftover for the night yang our house assistant selalu beri kepada kucing-kucing sekelian.
About four days ago I caught her vomitting, masa tu dah hampir tengah malam. Cari-cari tak jumpa rupanya di tepi parit. Kasihan betul. Since that night I brought her inside waktu malam. Dia ni dah tinggal sorang sorang sekarang. Mak dia, Madam Bochee, is now heavily pregnant dan jadi garang sangat dengan anak-anaknya. Bochee and all Buttercup's brothers tak tidur di rumah lagi. Kalau balik pun really late, 2 a.m ke 3 a.m. Kasihan kalau tidur sorang sorang, dahlah sakit. The weather over here pun last few days tak tentu, mostly hujan dan sometimes panas berdenting.
Tapi now dah sihat, tak mahu makan pula. According to my aunt, Cik Nor, kucing memang berubah-ubah selera. After a while dia memang jemu dengan makanan dia. Kata Cik Nor, kucing dia pun sama. "Kucing-kucing ni tak bersyukur. Kalau stray cats tu, kita bagi Friskies, laju saja mereka makan". Cik Nor is also a catlover. Di belakang keretanya memang standby Friskies, kalau jumpa kucing di mana mana she will feed them.
Back to my darling Butter, Alhamdulillah, dia makan agak banyak tadi. Nampak montel pula hehehe. I thought tonight I nak biarkan dia tidur dengan Bobo, sebab tadi nampak Bobo ada. Cannot do anything if Butter is inside. Seriously, Butter is really nakal, contrary to Berry. But both are sweet and adorable.
This is the new food for Buttercup. Royal Canin for Kitten. Hai janganlah hendaknya dia cepat jemu dengan makanan ini. Nanti I kena beli Science Plan punya kitten food pula. Kopak!! Hee hee.
Note: Uh huh, sepatutnya this story masuk ke dalam my blog for my fellow feline.. tapi tak apa lah... kononnya 'sneak preview' heheheh.

Welcome, Ramadhan - A Note from SpectacularBerryWave


Assalamualaikum and Hello to everyone,

Finally after a long silence, I finally have the drive to be back here. Not that I do not have the time, material, or opportunity. It's the drive, the urge, call it what you like.

Firstly, I would like to wish my friend Princess Shieda a very Happy Birthday, on September 18, 2006, May Allah Bless you, Princess. And May you always be under His care and protection, wherever you are. Selamat Berpuasa, and may all your wishes be granted by Him. Have a safe journey. Amin.

Secondly, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone, every beloved person who has been to this place of mine, Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan and Selamat Menunaikan Ibadah Puasa. I pray that all of you, dikurniakan kesihatan dan ketenangan untuk berpuasa, and semoga lebih khusyuk lagi dalam beribadah. Semoga semua amalan kita diterima olehNya, dan semoga doa-doa kita dimakbulkan, dan semoga apa yang ingin hadiahkan akan disampaikan dengan izinNya.

Next, I would like to share with all of you on what's been happening to me since the last time I was here.

1. On August 13, 2006 my dearest and sweetest kitten, Berry left me to meet her Maker.Perhaps this is the saddest day in my 30 years of living. Never have I cried so hard and so frequent all my life. She was accidentally hit by my brother when he was reversing his car. I left her for only 10-15 minutes, and then she's gone. Forever. In the beginning I was upset beyond words, but now, I understand completely, that this thing sudah tertulis since the very first day I met Berry. And I tell myself, I should not be too upset , as Berry is now happy and safe with Allah. I may think that I took care of her as best as I could, but then I tell myself, who am I to say that? For Allah is The Best in everything. She would be far well-cared with Him.

I dedicate this song in loving memory of Berry, even though it did not happen in January, but, I feel the lyrics kind of match.






kasihku..sampai disini kisah kita
jangan tangisi keadaannya
bukan karena kita berbeda
dengarkan dengarkan lagu... lagu ini
melodi rintihan hati ini
kisah kita berakhir di januari
selamat tinggal kisah sejatiku
oh..... pergilah..........

Very soon, I am going to have another blog dedicated especially to all my Jedi Feline, and In Loving Memory Of my Berry.



2. My congratulations to both my cousins, Azie (Nurul Azilah) and Bijan (Mihazrizan/Izan) on their respective wedding.

Semoga beroleh kebahagiaan yang berkekalan dan diberkati Allah selamanya. Amin.

3. I had three job interviews, ended up attending one - half-heartedly. Still not ready to work yet.

4. Recent visit to my neighbour's with an intention to 'berubat', revealed that there are, again, many attempts to menyihir myself. In actual fact, those things appeared in my dreams. One in the form of a man-sized cobra, a talking cobra, with the pattern of my kain batik sarung. Another form of dreams were, the persons with ill-intentions towards me, appeared in my dreams, one of them tried to give me a plate of fried chicken and persuaded me to eat.

To these people, as long as you want to, try all you like. I only have this to say: I seek protection from Allah, and Allah ONLY. Whatever you do, Allah knows. And I pray with all my might that nobody will be affected by your doing. And you guys might want to ask this question to yourself every morning when you open your eyes : What is my vision and objective in life?

5. These days, I like to include Berry in my nick, as in SpectacularBerryWave. Hence, if you see spectacularwave, specwave, specberrywave or spectacularberrywave, be rest assured, it is the same old .....




ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
