Cats who teach me to fly…

I bought a dvd from E.excel(the brand of  the health products which I have been taking). The dvd is about  the importance of non-contaminated food. The speech was given by the founder herself. She is the best I should say. All her products were tested against more than over 2000 types of poison. I have gained knowledge after watching it. The normal ginseng that we see in the shop or anywhere are preserved using pesticide! I can’t believe it. Even the normal toothpaste that we use everyday contains a kind of chemical name Triclosan which is an antibacterial agent. The chemical becomes a pesticide when in contact with tap water. I have stopped using toothpaste which are sold on the shelf. Many other daily food and products that we often use contain harmful substances and chemical. It is not going to end if I keep talking about it. No wonder so many people nowadays have contacted cancer!

Went to Chinatown and bought the things that I wanted to buy. It was awfully crowded. Nevertheless, I managed to take some photos. However, I don’t know what’s wrong with my Windows Media. I couldn’t open the photos that I have taken. Will try tomorrow again. I bought my favourite pineapple tart from Don, China Square. Every year I would buy only pineapple tarts for myself. That’s my favourite Chinese New Year snack. During Chinese New Year, it is all about food and during this period of time, many people tend to fall sick because the food are heaty and harmful to our body. However, many still eat without caring much. For me, I try to limit myself but most of the time, I just can’t control myself :).

I have a volunteer session with the nature tomorrow morning. Got to wake up really early tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day.

I am cool, I am calm and I said ‘No’. I used to say ‘no’ uncomfortably but today, I said it with ease cos I kept reminding myself about the “middle path”. I am going to slow things down a little this year. To balance myself.

I took a nap when I came back from a game of badminton in the afternoon. I didn’t want to but I was too tired. My body is aching right now, not because of muscle aches from the game but the soreness from taking a long nap. That’s why I never like taking naps. I had a great and funny game today. Had a great laugh. I like playing with humble players. Those who do not blame you when you make mistakes. I am not surprised if one does so. If someone whom I partner with for the first time tells me I shouldn’t this or that, I would usually tell him/her to keep quiet straight and right in their face. I am sending a message to them telling them that not everyone allows people like them to lecture others. That’s me! I have come accross many weak players who got “blamed” or “lectured” by their partner which I find it completely disgusting. I have never done that and would never do so. Of course, I told them in a humble way…”ok ok, this is a social game, shhh (with my index finger on my mouth)”. Haha…

After I woke up from my nap, I quickly sat in front of my computer and started reading my book. I really love web design. Oh… Melanie bought me a camera, it’s a New Year’s gift I guess:p. I’ve been carrying this camera for the past few days but I have not seen anything that I want to take. I should say I don’t have time to wander around and see what to take but tomorrow I’ll be going to Chinatown again. Hopefully I am able to take nice pictures and show you guys!

I had a flu which affected the quality of my sleep last night. When I woke up this morning, I felt tons of weight on my throat. It was horribly painful. I hate sore throat. However, last month I got to learn that 乌梅茶(a type of tea) can help to cure sore throat and it really works miraculously well. After a bottle of  Wumei tea, I felt much better. But still feel sleepy throughout the day.

Had lunch with Mel and her mother and her mother’s friends. It was a vegetarian meal and I love it. I enjoyed having lunch with them.  These elderly ladies were humourous and I just can’t stop laughing at their joke. When I am with my relatives, they tend to come up with funny jokes and so do I. I always enjoy spending time with them.

Oh.. I failed to give the medicine for deworming to Miemi – that little devil for the day. She spat out the mixture  whatever I gave it to her and behaved as if nothing happened. Sigh… I wonder if I have pampered her too much. I called the pet’s clinic and asked if it is ok to go without the tablet. The staff said it’s ok as long as there is no worm in her stomach. I am relieved. I check her stool whenever she poos. Everything is fine.

I hope to complete some tasks tomorrow which I did not do today. Yes, I will. Looking forward to tomorrow. :O)

My Thyme has blossomed. More flowers are going to bloom tomorrow and I just love the fragrance. I can even smell it even when my door is closed. I love watching my plants grow, even the weed. Instead of pulling the weed and throw it away, I planted in on another pots.  My Thyme bears more fruits this year than last year. This is what I want to see  this new year.

Tomorrow is the day to feed Miemi medicine. I think I have more fear than her. She is definitely going to reject the tablet no matter how hard I try and I can’t force her. Miemi is getting fat again. Everybody says that I am a bad owner but I have tried giving her indoor and slimming diet. Honestly, she hardly eats. I only feed her one to two small canned food every week and leave some dry food for her the whole day. I don’t understand why she keeps putting on weight. I always tell my friends that it is the love that filled her stomach. Wish I could help Miemi to lose some weight.

I didn’t have time to meditate today. I was all tied up today. I spent most of my time reading and understanding HTML, XHTML etc. It is not difficult actually. Once you get a hang of it, everything would be easy.

I have not written what I need to accomplish tomorrow. Will list down after I finish writing this. Guess what, Miemi is lying on my bed with her head lying on top of the remote controller. She really does know how to make herself comfortable.

I spent my Saturday designing two “Grand Opening” flower arrangements. They were very simple flower arrangements. Melanie was there to help me. I love flowers very much. Starting a flower business is my hobby. When I meditate, I would place flowers in front of me to help me concentrate. It could be any flowers or even a small pot of money plant. It helps me concentrate well.

I brought my cat for vaccination. She was so sensitive and clever. She knew that I was bringing her out even though I had not prepared the cage. She hid herself under the T.V. console.  I knocked my head against the tea table and strained my muscle while trying to coax her out from the T.V. console.  In the end, I had to remove the drawer in order to carry her out and place her in the cage.  I know I am going to have a hard time this Tuesday feeding her medicine that the vet had given me. Miemi(my cat’s name) always makes my day special. I just got to know that my vet’s cat is 18 years old. Wow… Miemi can be with me for another 10 years. She is 9 now. I have spent 9 wonderful years with her.  Guess what she is doing now? She is sleeping on my bed, wagging her tail. She must have known that I am talking about her. Always so adorable.

I told myself I am going to relax myself a little since it is a Sunday. I spent four hours watching the drama “Damages” on DVD. I don’t know if I have wasted the four hours sitting on the couch. Perhaps I should have made good use of the time. Like? Like reading books, gathering information, conducting research etc… However, I think I have not wasted the time. It was relaxing and I love watching it.

It’s a new week tomorrow. I have plenty to do. I always remind myself to take the middle path in whatever I do. Yes.
