Please spread this little film

Credit goes to Yasmin ~ go to her blog for stories on how this film is made by clicking on above title.

A simple ad for the SPCA org.

A very meaningful story of an austistic Malay child and a dog that caught his attention.

Too bad if this ad is shown on tv, the child and his parents look Chinese.

People will not know the message behind this ad.

It is simple....Islam never says touching and rearing a dog is haram. Search in the Quran and you will never find any verse that says a dog is haram. In fact, in Surah 5:4 and Surah 18:18, neither mentions that dogs are unclean or nasty. The first states that animals captured by hunting dogs are halal to eat. The second describes a group of exemplary young men who happened to have a guard dog.

It has always been the misconception amongst the Malays who were brought up to think a dog is haram. It is najis and cannot be touched.

But if it is najis....handling a cat or any animal is also najis.

A dog is a man's best friend. A dog is the guardian, the protector.

Bless me

The Senility Prayer

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to run into the people I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

=========================
Chestnut

A man comes home from work and finds his wife admiring her breasts in themirror. He asks, "What are you doing?"She replies, "I went to the doctor today, and he told me I have the breastsof a 25 year old."The husband retorts, "Well, what did he say about your 50 year old ass?"She replies, "Frankly dear, your name never came up."

==============================

And I woke up early, saw a nice four figure cheque given to me by darling hubby, switched on my pc....checked my account balance and saw a fat bonus credited. Sweet. What a birthday today. *grins*

Moooooo...moooo..

It's the Ox year come tomorrow, Monday. the 26th January.



===========================


I am a dog. An earth dog. woof. woof.

"People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit. "


True, true, true and true. I can be the most despicable bitch at times.



so what does the Ox offer me this year........let's keep tracks.

========================================

from The Sun's newspaper cutting:

It's not a good year for the dog.Your emotions may be largely instable. Career and wealth will improve but only after initial bad starts.

It will be best for you to stay put in your current job, as changing jobs this year brings with it its own set of obstacles. This outlook is better if you own your own business.

Pay attention to the domestic front this year. Problems may crop up at home that will require your attention. Try to stay away from arguments with your partner.

You may suffer from stress brought on by gossips. Try to manage your worries and find a good way to relax.

=======================================

Extracted partly from Raymond Lo's site

"The Ox also forms a three penalty relationship with the Goat and the Dog. Such penalty is hidden danger and may cause disharmony, worries and irritations, or hidden sickness. Therefore people born in the year of the Goat or Dog is also recommended to carry the pendant of the Rat to minimize such penalty influence in the year of the Ox..
The Five basic elements represent different parts of our body, earth in general relates to stomach, pancreas, muscle and cells. As such, the health problems related to earth could be stomach problem, food poisoning, and diarrhea. Disorder of earth elements can mean problems of muscle and cells, this can bring obesity, diabetes, and cancer …these are all sicknesses caused by imbalance of earth elements. Diabetes is a sickness caused by disorder of insulin which is produced by the pancreas which is also symbolized by earth element in Chinese medicine.. So diabetes problem is also caused by imbalance of earth element. As such, these kinds of health problems will also come in focus in the Earth year of 2009. However, the most serious health threat in the year of the Ox could be cancer as the Ox will create serious earth penalty with the Goat and the Dog and this will create hidden disorder of cells and becomes cancer. There are numerous examples of the serious influence of such earth penalty triggers cancer and other degenerative diseases. it is important to take more anti –oxidant as a preventive measure."
"However, the most serious and dangerous aspect of the Ox is it forms Three Earth Penalty with the Goat and the Dog and bring misfortune and worries, even serious sickness such as cancer."

========================================
Others say:

"Positive: Intelligent, loyal, fair, and constant. Dogs are always willing to listen to others’ problems, and to fight for a good cause.Negative: Cynical and tactless. These people don’t always forgive easily, especially those who cross them.Chinese Astrology Horoscope 2009 for the Dog: Expect many changes in 2009. In the year of the Ox, Dogs will succeed best if they keep their expectations realistic and expect only minor improvements. This is not to say that improvements cannot be made. If Dogs work hard and take care of others' feelings, they can overcome obstacles and challenges that they may face."
===========================================
Summary, okay........low profile, take anti-oxidants, don't quit job, don't argue with husband. don't be a bitch. that bloody nephew of his better stay clear from me and stop irritating me and not to bring up my blood pressure. whatever.

Two O O Eight

Arggghhh......so fast!! The year has ended. So cruel....

And this post from my last post just proves it all.....I am a lazy, lazy bum. Another milestone of 2009 to live through. I anticipate major changes to my rat race life....we will see.

And as usual, forget resolutions. These are old plans that don't work. Procrastinate should be the WORD, the ACTIONS plan to start the year. That way, if things are not done or achieved by end of 2009, blame the whole world, the planet, the universe, even God, but never blame yourself.

Oh...oh...oh....50 is the new 25. Yep.....I am going to be 50 years old. Exactly how does 50 suppose to feel like? I still feel like I was 20, 30 years ago. Let me ponder on this for awhile. Maybe, just maybe a little, this piece of my ass is too heavy to move. Okay, I lie.....too lazy to move.

But dearest hubby is good. He is goooddd. Bought me a nice gold bracelet, expensive wor! Told him right in front of the sales girl while she was fixing the bracelet on my wrist: "honey, after I die, you will not give this bracelet to your new girlfriend. This will be cashed out and the money donated to charity!" .........wonder what he was thinking then. Didn't listen his response. I was just too happy admiring my new bracelet. Free!! Sweet.

Rated "V"


V is for virgin. Be gentle.

I call myself a blog whore, nothing sexual. But I like to blog hop reading other peoples' lifes, opinions, ideas, etc etc. But I am, alas, a blog virgin. ;)

Nothing completes my day without browsing and reading other people's blogs ~ their lifes, their daily happenings. Some made their lifes more interesting than what I normally have. Some humorous, some sad enough to make me feel that at time, my sadness is not really sad, per se. Political blogs made me depressed about this country I live in....on the few rare occassional times, I kept bugging dear hubby to migrate. Most times, he just ignored me and my rants!

During those occassional times when I run out of ideas what to cook, I am always visiting food blogs. A simple meal they made become a scumptious dinner for me. After all, it is most times not easy to feed a husband who is so fussy with his food. A nephew who can eat anything I cook at the stove.
I don't know yet what and how this blog will end up with....I still have reservations to put up intimate personal stuffs in my life. But I do have so many stories to tell tales. So we will see?!

Until then....
