So Dan called the CSO and explained to her the circumstances, ie: we have the contact of the person who passed her the bag, and that The Cathay has CCTV footage they can release to the police and in fact recommends that we go to the police. We said we would prefer to not involve the [...]
When we got home after lunch, my sister called Dan to say that my bag was lost. Huh? How’d she know when I didn’t?!
She said someone (Indian sounding) called the last dialled number on my phone, said he found my bag and would leave it at the customer service counter of The Cathay because he [...]
It’s a long but easy read. Some things I agree with more than others, but in all, it has these little nuggets of wisdom I’m glad to now have in my possession. If only practising it would be as easy.
Written by Adrian Tan, author of The Teenage Textbook (1988), was the guest-of-honour at a recent [...]
This came in my email yesterday under the subject “Stress Management” :
A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked ‘How heavy is this glass of water?’

Everybody knows not [...]
So I WAS over the moon for a night. G seemed to be recuperating from her outing and just slept more than usual. Everything looked to be fine – I was even mentally patting myself on the back cos G only meowed twice in the middle of last night – not ‘pressing’ enough to warrant [...]
I was up til 2am last night looking at Miss G sleep. She was evidently exhausted cos she allowed me to squeeze her paws, stroke her head, and basically ‘bother’ her the whole time she laid on the carpet under the table with her eyes closed. I wondered if she was lying there thinking about her [...]
I looked out of my balcony today, wondering how you’re doing.
It seemed not so long ago when you were little and needed me for everything.
I saw a cat when I looked out of my balcony, she seemed so happy and carefree.
She was walking the roofs of other houses, in her own time stealthily.
It seemed for [...]
The story of G. (written 28 Sept 2008) :
Dan brought a tiny bundle of fur home yesterday. Judging from the still attached umbilical cord and her shut eyes, she looks maybe 3 days old and very vulnerable. She wasn’t abandoned by choice. Dan rescued her from near the remains of her mother after what looks [...]
