in loving memory of Puteh ( only cat lovers will understand)





still can't get over losing my siamese half breed cat, Puteh. He is not like any other cat....losing him has such an impact on me. Im using the present tense cos to me...he is always alive....somewhere...and cared for and loved the way we love him...This intelligent cat has such a uniquecharacter...im writing this down as an eternal memory for him.. we were away back in hometown for the raya holidays..and as usual..a friend will drop by daily to feed him but alas, we were told Puteh has been missing 2 days before we reached home here. Either he may have been hit by a car, or catnapped...we stay by the main road... if he is then i hope the people who took him are really cat lovers..so tht he will be pampered and loved as much as we love him. his unique traits:
1. will only eat on top of the washing machine....will love it more if the machine is running....his food...whiskas..seafood flavour but mixed with few pieces of anchovies..ikan bilis...
2. after his meal..will demand me to sit with him on the sofa..will meow at my feet when im washing dishes...so i always give in...n sit on the 2 seater sofa till he grooms himself..then only i return to the kitchen for my chores....
3. sleeping style...spread face up with legs stretched. will only curled up tight on cold days. he will sleep from 7-8 in he moring till 6-7 pm on the sofa..will play outside in the evenngs trying to catch birds ...by 9 will sleep back on the sofa and will wake me in the morings....no need for alarm clocks..he will paw at our bedroom door at 5 am..to be let out to do his biz outside on the grass...then he will play under the trees to 'catch' birds..will come back indoors for his marathon sleep before we set offf for work .
4.talkative cat....very vocal...will meow endlessly if u talk to him..
5.likes crowd...likes to catch darts flights..will mingle with hby's friends and watchout for any droping darts..he will teeth the flights n they will chase after him around the house..that he likes so much...
6. his weakness...strong winds,.thunder n lightning...will scurry off n hide in the storeroom or under the kitchen cabinet evertime before it rains
Puteh....no other cat can take your place....i do not wish to keep any more cats now....ive uploaded his pics on my page...Puteh's own site is in my clan, 'feline buddies' at my netlog acc.( midnitelady )

TIME

There are times

when reminiscences of yesteryears

will drown me in tears

of misdeeds...cliche's. ..charades...n camouflage

of wasted days...grievances

and of sheer bliss...pure rapture!...euphoria. ..reality denied

an everlasting 'heaven on earth’

but time, unfeeling time

disclaim reversion of those paces

Alas!!...I have to go on

yet to efface the memoirs of yesterday

is beyond my will

I can only veil souvenies of eternal memories

embedded in my heart

and relish those deja' vu

Its time again...for me to portray perspectives

in myriads of colours

For Life's own...isnt just a single ray of hue

TIME...they say

heals all wounds...Time...d best therapy

for ailments of emotions

Time again..is the antidote...for all woes

Thus, im giving in to TIME

letting time takes its pace

learning now not to dwell on bygones

of joys we've reached...& of joys that never really were!

just a make believe...of castles & gardens u made me see

....a mirage!!! ...an illusion

I was stung...down..slain

but now im up on my feet and walking again

starting anew....given a new strength

to prod on...taking life as it comes

'cos things did & do happen for reasons

with blessings in disguise thereafter

as depicted & wirtten in our life lines

Life...without this prism of colours

isnt a life to start with

and TIME...its reigning factor

TIME...and only time

withholds the answers

to questions unanswered...Que Sera Sera!!
