Fate or destiny

 

                                 Stray cats at Fu Shan Garden on 14 March 2019


Dora was the one in the middle

One afternoon when Isaac came back from school, he saw an incredible sight.  It was the dinosaur playground filled with many cats.  He quickly came home to tell me.  He said he wanted to have a cat.  

As it was my lunch time, I had to rush back to work.  So I quickly went to the playground to have a look.  Wow, there were so many cats, as many as ten!  All the cats were lying around, not moving at all.  Some were adults some were kittens.  We did not know which one to pick.  Then I just heard pick the grey one.  I saw the grey one and I carried it.  I put it in my bicycle's basket and we brought it home.  

The children wanted to name it Dora.  The children were excited to have Dora at home.  I did not know how Dora behaved as I went to work.  When I came home in the evening, I bathed her.  The next day we brought her to the vet to deworm and had vaccination.  The vet told us that she was about two months old.  

From that day onwards, Dora became our family.  As each day passed by, we love her more and more.  She was so adorable and sweet.  

Dora was very skinny.  The vet said she was underweight.  Under our care, she looked better and better each day.  She was so beautiful.  But it was too short a life for her.  She was only 3 years with us, so healthy and pretty.  

If we did not bring her home, what would her life be now?

Goodbye Dora

 
Rest in peace, Dora... We missed you forever. 

 After Cebest died, this time round, I took good care of her nutrition. I make sure that she ate good food. However, I failed again...

There was time when Dora looked at the altar for so long, not one time but a few times.  She stared at it for so long as though God was teaching her or conversing with her.  I never thought that she would leave so sudden.  I bought so much food and litter for her.  The moment just happened so fast.  It only takes a minute...

Everyone grieved.  Her lost was too sudden that I can't believe it at first.  But it really happened...

'You tried your best'.  Isaac comforted me.  Thanks Isaac.

Lor Mee

 

Fish Lor Mee From Kampung Admiralty Hawker Centre

I don't usually buy Lor Mee, but I like the Lor Mee from Kampung Admiralty Hawker Centre.  They offer Fish Lor Mee, which is free from pork, solely fish and can add prawns, the one shown above, which I had purchased.

This stall is very popular.  It is always having a long queue and I am willing to queue because the food is nice.  I always ask for no vinegar and more bean sprouts.

Pandamart delivery

My bicycle basket containing Pandamart Delivery
 

Yesterday I had a pandamart delivery.  This time I was very scared if I get several bottles of 1.5L drinks.  But when I saw my delivery contained two bottles of 1.5L drinks, I was rather relieved.  However, I saw on the rack, there was a packet of several bottles of 1.5L mineral water -- something which I had before, I was scared in future if I was the one who will get that.  I was thinking that if I get those delivery, I am going to report to support.  I am not going to risk my life taking the bottles of drinks anymore.  It is just too heavy for me and for my bike.  

And I am rather grateful that yesterday for my delivery, they packed it into two bags.  It is so much easier to handle.  Sometimes, they just packed everything into one bag, which is heavy.  

Something not very useful when accepting pandamart delivery is that we don't get to see what are the stuff that we are going to deliver before accepting the task.  It is only after accepting the delivery that we got to see what the customer ordered.  So if the delivery is too heavy for the bicycle or bulky to carry, we cannot decline or cancel the order.  

I hope this is something that Foodpanda can look into it.
