My leash.
I approached my owner tentatively as he walked over to the door, its about time for my morning walk, slowpoke.
As he picked up my leash, the clinking of the metal head was music to my ears as I dashed out of the door and wagged my tail with full force in enthusiasm and anticipation. In a way, it was a trick to entice my owner to give me a longer walk. i wonder if it really works, but this is one trick that is staying in my book.
Then he attached the leash to my collar as i stayed still to allow him ease of putting it on. My leash is short but i am old, and increasingly I am bounded by my weak legs rather than that short leash. What a drag, old age...
Learning to live with a leash is definitely a transition from my mongrel status to a domestic family pet. It is my release to 30mins of exertion and excretion. It was also a curse to my movement, but as i have said, a mere annoyance now.
As we exited the elevator, excitedly i took the lead as we headed to the open air! However, just a turn of the head i came into my instinctual prey - a cat. We locked eyes an in a span of a millisecond, i saw it tense up. We sized each other up. It was a young one, puny and small. A million thoughts raced through my mind - I could see that it was very afraid. I was sure i was able to catch it since it is still young and inexperienced. Oh it would be exhilarating to clamp down on its body as I cornered it. And it would be nice to see if I still had it. You are going down little kitty! All these thoughts condensed into a ball of energy waiting to be released in an instant. I am ready for the kill.
Just then, there was a tug at my collar. I turned my head towards the park, and trotted happily down.

Finances.
Did a little accounting today and realized that i'm on a really tight budget based on 50000 a year for UK studies. Accomodation in glasgow centre really costs a bomb and had exceeded my expectations by 2000 pounds.
Spent this entire afternoon looking at accomodation costs in dumfries for my subsequent years to my relief are much cheaper than city centre. Pretty much worried about my finances the whole afternoon till i went to take a nap.
which brought me to think about having a wonderful experience in my student years. Is it to not worry about money and try to have fun and enjoyment coupled with a good score on my test papers? what would i come back with?
Or is it about independence - which would mean living without the help of others - which means to worry about transport, accomodation, money, eating, wearing, writing, using, playing and WORKING.
I should be thinking of what makes studying overseas so difficult, so worrisome and along these lines if im ever going to figure out what i want. i want to experience life, and i don't think life is easy. if it was only easy, i would be living on the surface of my life and this life is no complete.

Pushover
Sigh.. feeling like a pushover now.
What happened was that i have been getting our supplier to provide a service for one of the fridge. But the hag and !@#$ woman at singmah wanted us to pay for this service which should be free when we bought so many fridges from them. Liased with her for one week and the quotation she gave me just keeps getting higher and more ridiculous. Singmah should fire her, by the way her name is Carrie surname Wong. Thinking about her attitude for service just makes me wanna slap her. What a LOUSY sales executive.
My boss had to call up the manager personally to settle this matter.
Which makes me feel: i'm such a pushover. I take what people say at face value and never think about when it is time to flare up at them. Sigh.
Gotta stand firm and start scolding people!
