The Garfield post (2)

Being wrapped up in the memory of garfield (LOL), I stalk garfield look-alike cats wherever I go.  Below are some garfield look-alike cats that I've met.

Met it at one of the R&R in Malaysia.lol.

Met this one at the turtle sanctuary....
yea we're supposed to see turtle :P

Met this at 'ming tian' 

The innocent look of the 'ming tian' cat

On my usual walking route back from school, I met this female cat, a mom, which has 2 kittens similar to her.

The mom...

...and meet her kitty!

Every time I pass through the place, I'll try to look around for the mom and her kittens. And I saw this amazingly lovely scene one morning.

Among the bushes - can you spot what is in the center of the plant? 

How cute!

right kitty: ei, someone is stalking us....
left kitty: whatever....I wanna sleep....

The last time I walked to school, I heard from the cleaning auntie that they've been adopted by a cat lover. =D
Now everyone will know that I'm a crazy cat stalker after this post. :S

The Garfield post

People say there 2 kinds of women - shoe woman or bag lady. I'm neither both - I'm a cat girl! kakakaka.

Who is garfield? he was a very ccccuuuuute kitty 6 years back.  He looked like this, no bluff, he really USED to look as cute as this ( I can't find his cute pic in this comp) -->

and then he has grown up to be..............an annoying cat.( found lots of the annoying pics instead)

*proud face*

A big fat cat

6 years ago, he was found one day by my parents when they were taking stroll in the park in the evening. The blue-eyed, covered with puffy golden fur, and a long-puffy-tailed kitty ran towards my mom and was meow-ing at her.(Apparently, someone deliberately abandoned him in the park) My mom was like:" how can I resist such adorable kitty!" So he was kidnapped home. He was then named garfield because.........he looks like garfield lo.

He grew as a normal male cat and conquered the territory in our residential area (the cat's world la). One day my neighbor found 3 new born kittens in her house compound and 1 of it looks exactly like garfield. The neighbor then kept garfield's son as their pet and call him 'xiao mai'.

What is this little thing that looks like me? *sniff*

like father like son

okay.....this is my son.

bluekkk...this doesn't look like me. (it looks like the mom)

From left: xiao mai (garfield's son), xiao hu (also his son but r.i.p. very young),
and garfield himself

Pris was holding the grown up Xiao Mai 

One of the unique/weird characteristics bout garfield is that he actually wag his tail, like a dog, especially when u call his name. Pris recorded a short video bout that few months before garfield went missing.

When we moved our house 1 1/2 years ago, my parents decided to give him away after considering many factors. Approximately two months after that, the new owner told us that he went missing and never come back anymore........and everyone misses him....... 

This is a brief biography of my garfield! =)

Stand firm in truth

On a breezy evening I was home alone. 'Ding Dong...' Excited me rushed to the door to welcome any sis coming back or unexpected guests from other sis houses...(I needa stop this primary-school-essay-writing style)...

Three persons came to do survey. The survey form listed a few questions in relation to Bible and a frightening question bout god the mother. Only realise who they are when I saw that question coz I've heard from sis OL before. Tried to excuse myself after that but they insisted to let me see a vid. (Was really scared the poison will be injected into me). Anyway, it was a jaw-dropping vid on how they come into conclusion that there's god the mother. O_o
Then one of them tried to point out the bible verses especially Gen 1:26, Rev 22:17, Heb 9:28, and Gal 4 to say that there're 2 gods, Triune God is only one God and there's another god the mother. The Spirit and the bride are 2 entities and that the bride cannot be the church because we're all sinners, according to them. Most shocking is that how the Lord's first coming born in a believer's house and the second coming in unbeliever's house...bla bla bla....getting more and more heretic... On one hand I kept calling on the Lord's name deep within me and on the other hand realise how much I need to be equipped and firm in truth.

I did not react at the beginning, ie no nodding or kept silent when one of them asked me to read the bible verse to 'prove' god the mother, that they thought I couldn't understand and wanted to explain more and I tried to stop them by throwing out:" I cannot accept this." Failing to convince bout that they went on to other things....which totally contradict with the truth, especially the book of Eph.

Believing in 2 gods is definitely a heresy, yet they are so sure that they believe in Jesus and their misinterpretation of verses. Talking bout zealous, they're foreigners coming to this hot and humid country for their religion's sake claiming themselves to be christians.......sadly what is said is not gospel........

Learning...

Thought about it.....after this sem I'm half-way through my campus life...ahhh!!! Okay, I'm now determined to learn/ achieve theeesee things:

Was watching my sis
enjoying in pool

i. 早睡早起身体好
I wish I can practice this consistently from NOW on. Alas it's a habit, it needs time... achieve it within next 2 years, possible? There was once the sisters in SH3 last time were motivated to practice this, 12.00 pm latest to bed and bounce up from bed latest at 7.30 am. We had mutual encouragement towards each other for that...err...1 week.Haha. It remains as a sweet memory after that......

ii. Learn to swim
Floating + moving = swimming, someone said. No, I want to learn to swim, as in like those people who move effortlessly like fish in the water and enjoy this exercise as a method to release stress....u know...
Duration: within this year! *finger-crossed*

iii. Cook an eatable dish...
This is to be achieved this sem. Cooking a delicious vege dish is also counted ma...I"ll not compare myself with the dearest housemates, they're gifted in cooking.

iv. Play a hymn with guitar
This is also to be achieved this sem, I've yet to choose which hymn. Oh, getting a guitar of  my own is also in the list.

That's ahlang's guitar

v. Gain weight...yes, it's part of the plan! I'm not greedy, a mere 2-3 kgs, can?
Duration: Asap.

Obsession with symmetry - Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal - Crown of Palace, was built by Shah Jahan in memorial of his wife. His wife made 3 'greedy' demands before she died. One of it was to build a unique building for her which no other similar building can be built in this world. The building of Taj Mahal was finally completed after taking 22 years, sacrificing 22,000 workers (the king actually chop off their hands after it was completed), and spending lost count of money.

Warning: Below is flooded with pictures. Please do not scroll down if u're not interested with pics which mostly can be found in google.

The security is very tight, body-check in the entrance of Taj Mahal.

Here we go...this is the main gate

A standard google pic of Taj Mahal, haha.

breathtaking garden in the courtyard

Cel and I

Every visitor is required to wear the red shoe cover (making us look like jugglers) before stepping on the building
... or u can take off ur shoe. (That's how Taj Mahal retains its whiteness, I guess)

We're not allowed not take photographs inside the building. Anyway, the whole building in octagon shape proposes the concept of symmetry with the tomb of the queen right in the centre...... yet the tomb of the king itself which was constructed by his son later after his death beside the tomb of the queen is definitely a spoiler to the concept. 

Optical illusion: the surface of the pillar looks uneven rite?

It's actually flat.

View of the courtyard from the building

The staying place for VIPs from overseas during Shah Jahan's era.

I shall end the post with....

The only individual pic in front of Taj Mahal....yet I smile until no eyes ==
