And so he died..

..on the 5th day.
It was only yesterday that I made a remark to Lisa (hsemate) that he seems to be looking ok. No more cirit. Shall we stop the ubat cirit thing then?

We were able to feed him the specially bought kitty’s milk (you can find this in any major supermarket, on the shelf next to the Whiskas) using a small eye-dropper (meant for refilling marker pen ink but it’s unused). Too bad, the special kitty’s food (ID brand?) promised by Dr. Pet remain undelivered. His eyes, previously on Monday oozling with pus which prompt us to visit Dr. Pet who cleaned it and gave him a shot, also looked better. Must be that the anti-biotic and some kinda cream worked! After all, it wasn’t cheap!

When asked for advice on what to feed him since Dr. Pet said we can’t give him milk yet coz of the cirit, mak said, “Buang aje lah…” I thought hard & came out with the idea of bubur kanji – a little nourishing than plain water but not as complex as milk powder.

When asked for where is the nearest vet, my colleague said, “Biasanya, anak kucing kalau dah cirit-birit ni….”

I did not take a pix of him, not that I’m superstious (of being jinxed) or anything but I do believe he’s not in the prime condition of his life – if it was me I would feel embarassed!

We have lotsa plans for him. Of course, he’s not to stay with us in the house for long. Lisa is supposed to take him back to her hometown during the coming election weekend so that he’ll join other stray cats brought home and cared by her mother.
We’d also talked about playing with him once he gets better. Alas, it wasn’t to be..
RIP Anaq Pungut.

P/s: Where got ‘burial ground’ in hutan batu so he was wrapped as nicely as possible with clothes and old newspaper, then put in his box-house before I put it at the dumbster.

KT: Tlg check i/net KT undi kat mana.
(Zassss!!!)
Rad: Polling centre…stream… Che’gu vs ‘Hancur KJ!’ utk parlimen R*mbau. Wajib kuar undi –pastikan dinasti pa*lah kalah!
KT: Buang myk je
Rad: Klu takut kuar duit myk, jgn heran lps ni rega myk naik mcanak (tapi jgn ingat senang2 je boleh turun lak – uneconomical)! Undi anda tanda protes. Malaysia kaya sumber tp sape yg dpt? HIDUP BARISAN RAKYAT
Rad to AN: KT undi d Swg utk P131 R*mbau –KJ vs Che’Gu. Bole dia kata –buang myk je? Sila jlnkan dakyah anda. Hehe..
AN: Oh, ada saudara aku tak mnyedari betapa korupnya BN. Takpe, AN cuba minta dia undi badrul. murid tok ayah, kwn AN tu.
Rad: Senang je ubatnya tu – kasi d.myk! Sure bole beli!

So, I did whatever I could - though I' m more than bengang with someone else whom I thought has 'better head (lemahnya mentaliti Melayu)' that he said no need la to kuar undi (for my DUN)....
Just bcoz we're Malays, and the contest is between an Indian and a Chinese - kononnya merosakkan aqidah. Helllooooooooo!??? Dunia mana kau duduk???
This election has got nothing to do with Islam. It's not about to have or not to have an Islamic country. Surely you know better than that ?? @#$$^$%@^!

Quote of Tim Harford (The Undercover Economist and his latest book, The Logic of Life)
The Star, Sunday February 24, 2008 -Everyman’s economist

The subject of politics was, however, more difficult to tackle.
“The simplistic position that many economists take is that it is not rational to vote because you will not, as an individual, alter the result of an election. But that is obviously naïve and not a good description of what people do,” he says.

I say, vote on the 8th or forever hold your peace (aka SHUT UP!).
