Champion of Sports

Wahoo, yesterday and today two things made my week besides marley and me. Both are sports.

First, Liverpool, my english football team thrashed Manchester United 4 to 1 at MU home soil Old Trafford. Liverpool I love u..

Second, Chong wei just defeated his arch and feared rival at the Swiss Open 5 minutes ago in straight identical sets.. 21-16, 21-16. Chong Wei, you are the man!     Infomant, my friend Shin yi

(= Man, this is the best day eveeeeerrrrr...=)  

Marley & me

Yahooo, i am finally reading Marley & me =) One of my prime hobbies is reading. I started reading when i was form3 right before PMR. The book which cultivated this wonderful addiction of mine is of course, an animal book, no surprise there.. Its about a vet living in a english countryside who tells about his day to day struggles with farm animals with his own vivid description of the cool, scenic and peaceful english countryside scenary and wheather. The book also inspired me to become a vet and also my dad.And to all u romantic book fans, this story also tells how James Herriot, the vet tried and suceeded in marrying one of yorkshire beauties.. I only read the animal chapters "cough "

Back to Marley & me, i was surprised that the story wasnt half bad.. Actually it was fullifing. I didnt know Tyson had an almost identical life as Marley, the worlds most naughty Labrador Retriver. The way i judge a book is how long i stayed glued to its story. Marley & me.... 1 and half hour straight, Sejarah textbook.....5 minutes. John Grogan, the Author, reminds me totally of me as a dog rearer/lover, besides the married, working life and bedroom description scene. Yess, Marley & me has some scenes... but the way Marley enters them are soo funny.. Well thats all for Marley & me, Im curently at chapter 11 and i cant wait to get started. Target 3 hours

Public Speaking

The number 1 fear among humans, besides death, is Public Speaking.. I myself am terrified to speak in front of a crowd of people. I envy those who can go out and just be themselves.. sigh... i just done a group play about an indian epic " Ramayana ". I acted as the number 1 villian the nanny. Boy was i scared. i had to hunchback (pass), speak in a haggered voice(fail), and say what i memorised (mostly pass). During the play i tried me very best to relax and focus and not to think about humiliating myself. Heck, i will still feel stupid no matter how i speak so might as well just go for it. When my turn ended, i felt like a million bucks. There is that rosy feeling after u do a public speaking, similar when u just survived a tiger attack haha.. and this time i didnt felt stupid, i actually felt good.. Now i know, the secret to a good public performance is to just be yoruself and dont care what your mind tells u. I also thank the Lord for helping me relax and just to do my best..Public speaking is also the best way to improve your confidence and self esteem.. maybe ill take up public speaking as a hobby... maybe

News of the week: I finally managed to install a chatbox on my blog. it took me ages to install that @#$%$ gadget and i was going in circles.. Plus putting one is a no brainer.. i hate chatbox.. I HATE CHATBOXES.... pheww. glad i got that out of my system.

Im currently planning to read a book that has just been made into a movie. Its called Marley & Me.I heard from two friends, one a doctor,and the other my classmate, that the book is about the life of the most naughty labrador whose simple doggie soul changed the life of a family. Im borrowing it instead of buying because books sold here are very damn expensive.. i hope i dont cry reading Marley & me cuz its also a super emo book  T_T 

To readers of this blog, 'oxford' is going to publish an animal dictionary,

so they asked me to write a draft for them.those reading this will catch

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Tyson just got involved in a dog fight that lasted say.. 1 min. I was walking him one Thursday evening when all of a sudden a small mixed breed dog, slightly smaller than tyson charged at him with teeths barring. It went straight for his front leg and managed to hold on only for a few seconds before tyson fought back, biting its hind leg. I knew this dog ever since i past its owner's house. He would bark madly at tyson and the n started biting his own leg.. Crazy dog is what i call him. On this particular evening he was let lose and i dislike owners who let their dogs out without keeping an eye on them. 

As the fight progressed i started to panic, should i let tyson go from his lease to fight him off cuz the lease was restricting his movements or try to pull him away.. Then they stopped and just stare at each other menancingly. Crazy dog's hind leg was bent as a sign of fear whether to fight or flee. He probably thought" U DONT SCARE ME " and bite tyson's back. And then a call came... at last the owner came. He tried to stop the fight by commands but crazy dog was determined to show whose boss. They stopped again and this time he placed his paw on crazy dog's back, as a sign enough is enough, it was almost cutish..

The owner managed to call it back and i had to drag tyson away. He was so full of adrenalin that he didn mind me treating his wounds =)Thank God he had only a few cuts and a injured claw. dont think im proud but boxers are very good at dogfights and if i let tyson go, the owner could have a badly injured dog in his hands xD. Next time im bringing a stick when walking dog.

New Chinese Year ^.^ ^_^ ^.^

At last the chinese new year calender has begun and you know what that means.. ang pow, firecrackers ( i actually dislike big firecrackers), food, openhouse malaysian style, food, and new clothes xD. I love chinese new year bcoz i can stay at home and dont hav to wake up 6am everyday for 11 days! I also get to visit my relatives and collect lots & lots of angpow. Sadly this year im not visiting one important relative.. my grandparents.I like visiting them bcoz they cook the most delicious sweet and sour pork, stir fried vegie, fragence rice ( diabetic and expensive ) and of course, no not ang pow, i get to see animals like chickens and dogs =) Never mind.. i still love chinese new year

For the first time in a long, long while, this CNY is a sunny, humid, and blisteringly hot one and not a monsoon season like almost every year. HOT hOT hoT.. 

Since this year is the year of the ox and not chicken, they have lost the mood to celebrate, haha..

There was a lion dance yesterday down my neighbourhood block and something strange happen.

Tyson started howling and walking and running all over the house including the inside which he is not allowed to enter. He started acting strangly when the drums started beating, gong. gong.. gong. gong.gong..., runing in zig zags, runing and hitting the flower pots. Tyson was in fact terrified by the beating of drums and begged to be let inside the house. Only when the druming stop that he comfortably went outside and relaxed. He also salivourate like a dog that just finish a marothon. I was a bit surprised at his behaviour because he is quiet fierce and would bark like a mad dog at strangers.  

 

Note to self : " to discipline tyson, use drum ". Im not sure whether its a boxer thing or just tyson's own fear. Tyson is also scared of fireworks. I had a great dane who, when a storm came, would hide under a car bcoz she's terrified of lightning. Even dogs who are guardians of the house, can feel fear. I think my dog will learn to hate chinese new year, haha.. 

Wishing u all a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year
