Big Fat Cat

 

The spectacular view from 29th storey of Blk 180C, Marsiling Heights

So I went Blk 180C three times today.  First time, I went to 29th storey and I took the above view.  As the lift went up, my ears were blocked and I had to swallow saliva and at the same time, lower my lower jaw.  There were 3 lifts serving the whole block of flat.  At the time when I was there, one of the lift was not working, under servicing.  Luckily two other lifts were working.  

There was one time where I need to go nine floor of a woodlands HDB flat -- those old types of flat, where there were only one lift to go up to the specific floor.  I could not go up to the 9th floor because the lift was under servicing!  Luckily, when I called the customer, he came downstairs to take from me the food.  It was a young teenager and he ran downstairs to come take from me.   Still another instance of lift breakdown, also in those old types of flat, I called up the customer and asked them how can I go up to their house.  It was so troublesome to go to her house, having to take the other lift and then to walk along some corridor and then take the stairs to her house.  

Cannot imagine how bad it must be if the lifts were spoilt for these high-rise flats.  So on the second trip to the high floor again, this time I saw a big fat cat.  I thought that it belongs to somebody.  I saw a woman feeding him something.  Then I went up to deliver the food.  When I came back, the big fat cat was still beside my bicycle.  This time I had a closer look of him.   I was so amazed at how fat the cat was.  First time I see such fat cat, really is big fat cat.

On my third time to the flat again, this time I got a tip from the customer.  In fact, he was even standing at the door, waiting for me.  When I pass him the food, he gave me $2 and even tell me to ride safe -- another kind soul encountered.

Old Already

 

Taco at Singapore Cartons (27.2.2022), awaiting to go home

Taco (22.3.2022) in the carrier, waiting to go vet

Taco had an appointment with the vet at 4pm yesterday.  This is his first visit to the vet to get himself deworm and vaccinated. Taco was not even 1kg on the day he came to our home last month.  But yesterday, he was being weighed and his weight was 1.58kg!  He had grown so much!  Look at the photographs and you can see the difference in size.  

Yesterday I booked Gojek and the driver arrived.  He saw me with the kitten and he rejected me instantly.  Then I booked Grab.  The driver arrived, told me that they don't carry pets also.  But he said he would allow this time because "I see you so old" so he helped me.  I am so grateful that he was willing to take us.  He was a friendly and kind soul.  He told me that next time I need to call GrabPets, first time I heard of.  The last time I had Dora sent to the hospital was using Grab too.  That driver allowed us and sent us to the hospital.  So thankful to these drivers.  Last time (two to three years ago) when I sent Dora to the vet I always use Grab transport.  Nobody told me that pets were not allowed.  

After alighting me, he was still smiling, no wonder he got 5 star rating.  I will definitely give him a five stars too, and I did.  I told him too that I will give him 5 stars for helping me.  

Friendly and Kind Grab Driver

Last time when I took the cab, the driver will ask me "Are you Singaporean?" (2008).  Now I took the cab, "you are old mah" remarks I get.  When I go Giant, they also asked if I have senior citizen card.  The time I going to spend on this earth is getting shorter now.  I am left with at most 30 years to do what I want on earth, to do purposeful things on earth and then to leave this world without any regrets.
