Meaningful Saturday

Posted by Ling on July 12, 2010

Yesterday, I started my Saturday with SSPCA (Sarawak Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Somehow, I actually came across their campaign’s poster last semester in my campus (somewhere on the notice board). But, I didn’t give a damn to it until yesterday it got me attracted. Things started from last Saturday whereby my friend asked me to drop him down at the Shelter (SSPCA’s centre). He actually persuaded me to go down to have a look but, he failed. I resisted going down. Hehe! After dropping him down, I drove back home. Logged in to my Facebook account. In the middle of Facebook-ing, my itchy hands suddenly typed “SSPCA” in the Search column and pressed Enter. The first thing I’ll see is of course the photos! :D Seeing those doggies and cats, I really pitied them. Some are abandoned by their owners, while some are actually left at the Shelter by their owners.

Without thinking much, I just “Like” the page. It attracted me to do something to help those innocent doggies and cats. A day or two before Saturday, I received notification that there’s an event going on at SSPCA. I went to have check it out of course! And I got to know that SSPCA actually held a Pet Adoption Campaign at iCATS (International College of Advanced Technology Sarawak – a college at Stutong) in conjunction with iCATS Open Day. Since the pictures got me attracted, it’s time to take action and lend a hand. So, I attended and helped out as a volunteer.

There, I got to know the Mdm. Pei Ling and Mdm. Dona, the commitees of SSPCA. Also, I got to meet new friends, Henry (a guy who loves cats and kittens) as well as his gf, Candy (a part time accounting student taking ACCA Level 2 and also a Kindergarten teacher near my housing area). Both of them are pretty nice and sweet. Hehe! A lovely couple I would say :D

Basically, all the doggies and cats at SSPCA are cleaned and neutered. One of the reasons of neutering is that SSPCA thinks that these animals have gone through enough pain and do not want more unwanted little puppies and kittens to suffer (or being treated harshly by the new owners). For the adoption campaigns held by SSPCA, all matured dogs and cats are neutered. Anyone interested to adopt can choose dogs/cats of their preference for RM30 each. The adoption fee RM30 is actually the costs covered for neutering, medicine, food and etc of the dogs/cats.

If you are interested to adopt and have missed the iCATS Pet Adoption Campaign, you can always adopt at the Shelter (SSPCA centre “Animal Kingdom” @ Jalan Nanas Road in front of After 4 Cafe). There’ll be Pet Adoption Campaign by SSPCA at the Shelter every fortnight.

On the other hand, if you would really like to help out instead of adopting a dog/cat and take care of it, you can always:
1) Be a volunteer for SSPCA
2) Donate generously (in terms of money/dogs food/cats food/newspapers for lining the animals’ cages/your unwated cages at home/etc) for the dogs and cats at SSPCA
3) Help to spread the news/awareness of SSPCA to your friends, families, relatives and the public

Contact SSPCA:
Telephone: 082 618200
Website: www.sspca.sarawak.com.my
Facebook: SSPCA (Sarawak Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)

That’s how I had my meaning Saturday with the cats and kittens yesterday! (Sadly, doggies are not allowed in iCATS as there’re Malays there.)

P/S: No pictures for this post. I was too busy and didnt get to shoot any. :( Sorry! Next post then :D

Finals

Posted by Ling on June 18, 2010

It’s been awhile since I last blogged. Reaching almost to the end of the semester, finals is just around the corner. Everyone is so stressful this sem. Lots and lots of chaos happened. It’s a past tense and we all shouldn’t have turn back. Let bygones be bygones. Just bear in minds that history never repeats.

Now, fully focusing on final. But why am I blogging here?! Hehe! :D

How many days more to finals? Yet I’m still here blogging, procastinating etc and not studying! And to those having WorldCup fever, you’re sure in a dilemma, don’t you? :D Aiks! I just don’t have the motivation to study. Someone, please motivate me? :(

Raphael reminded us all to sing the song…THE FINAL COUNTDOWN everyday!! :D

Finish enjoying?

STUDY liao! :P

Jo’s Birthday

Posted by Ling on March 21, 2010

19 March 2010 was a day of good memories worth of remembering! It was Jo’s birthday. Few days before the 19th, CSN, Cath and I were planning for the day. After awhile of brainstorming and discussion, we’ve ended up getting Jo a piece of blouse. After the last class (CS on Tuesday), the 3 of us headed to Spring. Cath was the driver! :D

First station: Roxy
Result: Nil

Second station: Espirit
Result: Got 1 or 2 which suits Jo, but she somehow has the same pattern. So, there we go..NEXT!

Third station: Hush Puppies
Result: First choice, simple polo tee! Having a quite-similar-size figure, CSN went to try the polo tee that we’ve chosen.

Me: Ermmm…the hush puppy logo kinda too big ei?
Cath: Hmm…
CSN: /*Looking at the tee and then the mirror*/ Mmm, or we get a smaller-logo polo tee?

I went to digg and dugg again… Too bad, there’s not even a single one which I think is nice! Hahh, continue to digg and dugg…and suddenly, I found a yellow blouse. Not a polo tee though. A feminine yellow blouse which I think will look great on Jo. And tadar! Rushed to back to fitting room for CSN to try on it.

/* Door closed */
/* Door opened*/

Me: Heyyyy! NICE!!
Cath: Ammm, this looks OK.
CSN: OK ar?
Me: Hmm, OK is OK. But…
CSN: OK or not? What size is this?
Me: M size o… Feeling tight?
CSN: Not really. Just OK.
Cath: …
Me: /*still looking at CSN*/ How come the upper part kinda like…..smaller?!
CSN: Har?!! hahaha..
Cath: LOL!
Me: LOL! OK lar… Just get this one! :D
Cath: Hmm, maybe we should go another station to see first before deciding?
Me: Oh..Okie.. Padini then! :)

Leaving the yellow blouse back to the sales girl, we headed to Padini to explore!

Fourth station: Padini
Result: Look here look there, digg here dugg there…Finally, Cath found another one!! Pink casual short sleeves jacket with hood! :D The 3 of us think this one is not bad. Would look good on the casual-going Jo! But unfortunately, only 1 size left. Last one S size. Aww…it’s too small for Jo :(

/*Digg and dugg again*/

Me: Hmmmph, no more?
CSN: Get the yellow one lar..
Me: *nod*
Cath: … No more and we’ll just get the yellow one.

After exploring the whole Padini, we got back to the Hush Puppies again. Haha.. Grabbed the yellow one and off we go. CSN stopped by Big Apple Donuts and grabbed a dozen. Cath grabbed a couple of it if not mistaken.

Tadar! And there we go… Mission completed! :D

18 March 2010

Suddenly out of a sudden, during lecture (Engineering Materials)…

CSN: Or maybe we create a card for her?
Me: Hmm… OK also.
CSN: We take some pichas and combined it? Do you have the software to edit?
Me: Photoshop? Ada leh..
CSN: OK…You edit o..
Me: Alright, later during lunch time, we take pichas and you send to me tonight?
CSN: OK good good.

/*Lunch time */

19 March 2010
We actually intended to give Jo a surprise. Since she’s asking me to send her back home, so she should be free after class. We planned to have lunch with her and gave her the present. But things went hair wired (but still manageable).

When everyone is done with lab, and doing the report… Out of the sudden…
Jo: Bye Connie!
Me: Huh? What bye?
Jo: My car is here already.
Me: Huh?!! Tot I’ll be sending you back later?
Jo: Ooops! I forgot to tell you? I’m not following you back. My parents is in Kuching. They’ll come pick me. Hehe..
Me: ……………………………… /*Ish…barring teeth*/ You didn’t tell me ler JO!!!
Jo: Heh, solieee.
Me: ….Mmm….Okeh, bubbye!
Jo: Byeee! :)

Conversation with CSN:
Me: CSN! Jo went back already!
CSN: Har?! Tot you’ll send her back, no?
Me: I dunoo? She just told me her parents will come pick her :(
CSN: Why didnt she tell you earlier?!
Me: ^^ I dunooo… You called Cath see if she’s on the way here? zzz

/* After many SMS-es and calls…*/

Finally Cath reached campus around 12pm. She passed the present and the printed card to us. Since Jo is coming back to campus around 12.30pm, we passed the present to her and BOOM her! Hahaha :D Cause of her last minute decision, everything is kinda like ruined?

But, it’s alright…we had a simple dinner with her though.

There you go, The Burpday Gal with the food! :)

Mee Din! :D

Lamb in Hot Wok!
Soft, tender and juicy!

Braised Home Made Bean Curd!

Tom Yam Soup!
My favourite dish of the night! :D

After eating, here’s what the posing queens were doing! :)
/*Just a few for you guys to see…For more, stay tune! */

Cath with the Burpday Gal.

Hohoho…camwhoring in the car after dinner. :D

Went over to Riverside for a walk after dinner.

Being a lil crazy again! :D

Last but not the least, JO IS DANCING! /*Cmon, shake ur body!*/ :D

Happy Birthday JO! *huggies and kisses*
