just came back from watching the movie "marley & me" with xuan & mel. just as we had expected, it was a sobbing movie and we went prepared with tissues. halfway thru, i was in rather urgent need for the toilet, but was reluctant to go cos i didn wanna miss even a minute of the show. turned out dat xuan felt the same thing. there's a very much coincidence with regards to the movie. we are all dog lovers. we have got dogs at home that are all around the same age. the 3 of us have read the book dat came out 3 years ago and we all bought the same book without telling one another.
watching the movie brings back much fond memories. it just reminds me how things were when we first got bobbie. after rounds of much pestering, we finally convinced our parents to get a dog. i was in sec 1 when we bought him. it was just a random day after school when mummy suddenly brought us to the pet shop. it was love at first sight. without much consideration, we knew he was the one dat we wanna get. then came all the times when we had to house-train him. endless sessions of poo picking & pee wiping, which in between there were a few times where i slipped and fell upon stepping on his urine.
just like the kids in the show, i missed him when i was in school. i'm always the one who would dash home right after school just to play with him. den everyday in the evening, i would bring him to our house nearby park for a gathering with my friends and his doggy buddies. it was a daily happening event. we would have running competitions, hide and seeks and lots of lame games. den there was once bobbie chased after a rabbit. and he got hold of the rabbit in his teeth. poor rabbit was screaming in its ultra high pitch voice. we were all chasing him in circles. the rabbit, followed by bobbie, den followed by all the kids. i ended up saying sorry a thousand times to the rabbit's owner..
den there were times when bobbie went missing. 3 times to be exact. the most vivid one happened on a sunday morning. as playful as he was, he had slipped out of the house after my grandma left the door open. we were all awakened by the news dat bobbie was missing. den the whole family went round the estate to search for him. i was walking round the whole place in my pyjamas anyway. found him 2 hrs later. one of our neighbours actually saw him playing with other dogs at one of the playgrounds. it was a really terrible fright. my dad said we would have lost him if we didn manage to find him den as we were abt to shift house.
so many years have passed since then. true indeed, a dog is a man's best friend. they will always be there for us in the ups and downs of life. providing unconditional love. giving without expecting anything in return. bringing endless joy and laughter to our lives. always there to greet us at the door.
come to think of it, i realize i have somehow been neglecting bobbie in the past few months. guessed i am so wrapped up in those silly problems of mine dat i have neglected so many things.
anyway, i've been feeling emo again todae.
just wanna add a note here.
to the world out there: thank you everyone for ur kind concern. i understand where u guys are coming from. i'm trying hard to get back on my feet again and its not easy. things are definitely not helping with me becoming the talk of the town again. i do agree dat everyone has their freedom of speech, but i would kindly appreciate if everyone can cool it. i need my personal space. i dun mean to sound rude over here but this is just something true from my heart.
