Remembering Totoro

Today Is Toro's 3rd anniversary at the bridge. His jasmine flowers are blooming and we get a soft fragrant smell wafting along the corridors at night and the early evening. 

      His Jasmine flowers blooming. 

I have also gotten him the Japanese koi to fly in the wind. 

Run Free Totoro. We miss you every day. 

Goodbye Mr Lee. Fly High!

We are very sad to have to say farewell to our 1st Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew who died this morning at aged 91. He was a tough man who brought us to where we are today. 

Grandma was very sad too as she saw the fight for independence from the British and she also experienced war with the Japanese. She admired Mr Lee more than any of our other prime ministers,   "He spoke Malay better than any one of them".

TGIF

Bujang resting in his now favourite place. I bought this for Popps but she does not even look at it. I had also bought the grey sofa for Bujang two years ago and he did not even sit on it until I decided to place the red bed on it.

We are glad that its finally TGIF. Actually san is glad as it signalled the end of many long meetings. She only has 2 more meetings next week to get through and then it would be school vacation for a whole week. We katses as used to having holidays and such but we will be glad to see more of her in the house.

On another note we are sad that our good friend Stormy, who is a friend to many went to the bridge yesterday. He was the constant and very wise companion for Laura with whom we had spoken twice. She helped all of us a lot and gave san a lot of good advice. Stormy had a column of his own as well where he gave good advice to his fans. Fly high Stormy!

Rest Well Meep

                           

We are sad to know that a good kitty Meep went to the bridge to be with our bridge brothers last Sunday. He was 18 years old and had played a good last trick on his friend Dell by tricking her into thinking that he had abdominal edema. It turned out that he was only putting on weight!! Rest Well Meep and say hello to our bridge brothers. 

Run Free Mera

We will always think of you as the quiet kitty who lived life on your own terms. Run free Mera. There will be no more bad teeth, sore gums or even hurt hearts.

Mera left us to run free last Sunday 15 Jan at 12.20 am- quietly sitting with cat_aunty. We will miss him.

PS Cat_aunty said that it was sepsis and toxic shock.

RIP FatBoy

FatBoy died today at the vet at about 1130. I was with him when he died. I was just talking to DR L yesterday about the possibility of vaccinating him as I had found him a place at one of the shelters and vaccination was compulsory to admitting him there.

But this morning we had to bring him to the vet as he was very noisy, which was very strange behaviour. He said goodbye to me and then I brought him in to the vet when he died.

Good rest FatBoy! Hang out with your buddies and get fat in greener pastures.
