主人車禍亡 忠犬苦守現場2個月

=T.T= =T.T= =T.T= =T.T=

男子蔡 X X 半年前騎機車不幸車禍身亡，他受託代為暫時照顧的小狗「小花」為找尋這位臨時的主人，遍繞澎湖島尋覓，歷經兩個多月後，終於找到事故現場，從此落地苦守主人機車寸步不離，也不准旁人接近，澎湖沙港村里傳為美談。

今年七月十三日傍晚五時卅分許，五十七歲蔡 X X 獨自騎乘機車ＤＫＷ—７９２從馬公東衛里北上湖西鄉沙港村找朋友，行經澎十一號道路不慎摔車，安全帽脫落、頭部撞擊地面顱內出血，緊急送醫搶救五天後身故。

小花繞遍澎湖 兩個月找到機車

蔡某生前很愛狗，自己也養狗，「小花」是台灣的朋友託他照顧，但在車禍發生後，小花也不見了。

原來小花走遍澎湖大街小巷是為了尋找主人的蹤影，翻山下海餐風宿露整整兩個月終於找到事故現場，發現遺留的機車，可就是沒看見主人。

家屬移車被狗吠 決定繼續飼養

或正是如此，狗兒一直守護在機車旁始終不肯離去，吹風淋雨又苦守了兩個多月，來往路過村民不明究理，只覺得可憐，不時給予泡面、便當等食物果腹及毛毯取暖，口耳相傳著忠犬護主的傳奇故事。

昨日下午，家屬獲悉趕往現場，赫然發現就是當時朋友寄託的小狗，於是試著要移動機車，詎料，遭到小狗恫嚇阻擋、還佯勢要咬；家屬直覺有蹊蹺，當場以硬幣擲筊請問死者意願，連續三允杯透露自己魂魄仍在現場，決定擇日再聘請道士親臨招魂，一併將機車及忠狗帶回飼養。

Dad vs. Nisha =)

DAD was so funny this afternoon, we (mom, sheri, justin and I) got an emergency call from dad when we were on our way to Damai after doing some shopping @ city mall... Dad was like: "我看你要带Nisha去看兽医， 它好像要死了。。 好像不会动了。。" [I think you should take Nisha to the vet now, she looks like she's going to die, she's not moving much now] We then immediately rushed home and saw dad on his way to go jogging..... And when we got home, sheri, justin and I rushed out from the car n entered the house from back door, shouting "Nisha~~~~~ nisha~~~" and then..... we saw nisha....... nisha......... nisha............ nisha............

Nisha was "jumping" happily towards us and waving her tails intensely like usual.... "eeeh?" Isn't nisha going to die?...... mmmm?" muahahahaha we got nisha with us and brought her to Damai, and called dad again "Nisha where got going to die... shes like jumping around" and dad was like "She was going to vomit, probably havent been eating, and she couldn't go down the stairs, 脚软。。" okay.......

We then went straight to a pet shop in Damai to buy new dry food for Nisha, because she has been struggling to eat this super fishy dry food that she really hates, and her heartless mom bought like 4kg to keep at home.. poor nisha~ has been resisting to eat for like months now~ We went to this pet shop before and the boss wasn't in so better for us, cuz the last time he refused to give us sample to let nisha try the food, the "abang" (this is how sheri addressed this malay zai) very nice and he voluntarily let nisha tried a couple dry food samples, and finally Nisha ate the chicken-flavored ones made for puppies... the "abang" asked how many months was nisha.. and we were like.. umm.. turning 3!!!!! muahaha.. He said its ok "high protein also" okok.. so we bought this one .... Nisha thought shes still a puppy!!! '=.=

So we got home and mix this new dry food with wet food as usual, and managed to get nisha finish her food for the first time in a long long time~ Great! ^^ At least dad's emergency call has in turn helped Nisha to eat healthier~ hehe.. When dad got home and we were discussing about this matter, dad was saying we should throw that fishy dry food away and get some flavoured dry food like chicken or lamb for nisha, something taste good for her to eat.. hmmmmmm we were like "since when dad cares about nisha? hehehe" before he left the computer room, he was complaning at nisha's new ball that sylvia recently bought for her in Singapore that..... "the ball is so heavy!!!! how can nisha carry that around? Her teeth going to break.. the tennis ball is heaps better.. you should throw the tennis ball........" .......... muahahaha so funnyyyyyyyy

Nisha's recent pics~~~~~

awwwwwww~ so cuteeeeeee~ nishaaaaaa~ nishaaaaaa~~~ lai lai~ kuaiiii~~ hehehe oh this is the ball that dad complained of... heheheh

*We going to give away the smelly fishy dry food to Moshi!! Muahahaha"

Tampuruli Shops Burnt Down =(

Saddddddd!!!!! AH GONG's shop burnt down last Tues (9/12) 5am in the morning.. Papa, Justin and I went to Tampuruli this morning to pay a visit to uncles and aunties whose shops and home were brutally swallowed by fire last week .. 3 of my cousins' shops were destroyed - oldest uncle grocery and stationery shops, and another uncle's kopi tiam n home (he n auntie live upstairs).. sadddddddd... these shops were old and there were many memories, the earliest memories from childhood for me, my sis/bro n I believe for all my cousins on my mom side as well. We always stopped by at their shops to get free snacks n drinks when traveling to Mt Kinabalu or Kiulu for water rafting~ sigh sigh~ In fact, my oldest uncle inherited the grocery shop from my grandpa~ so lots of precious memories especially for my mom who grew up in Tampuruli~

So we met uncles n aunties and fortunately they were not seemed too depressed at all... Dad suggested to go on vacation during CNY so they dont have to worry too much about it, and what else can Dad suggest besides gambling in Macau? I thought it was only dad's desire to go to Macau... but my uncles were like "oh yeah, my passport got burnt but no problem at all.. I can reissue new passport easily......... " and they kept going on and on about casinos and how the Chinese government now restricts their own people to enter Macau so the money dont flow out to all the US casinos............. And finally, they talked about rebuilding the shops but it will cost about 500K so not sure if the shops will be rebuilt and oldest uncle said he will retire formally now Hehe.

My family n I were planning to go to Okinawa to experience the Cherry Blossom festivals this CNY but flights were fully booked from HK, Taipei, Shanghai .. a bit too late to plan so dad postponed to 2010~ sad sad~ I don't mind Macau though cuz I can go bungee jump n I love gambling, but sylvia n sheri n gary probably find it uninteresting, as sylvia said, she been thr 4 times ady this year... n they not keen to gamble at all =.=

Another sad news is Takashi wont be coming to KK anymore this Christmas =T.T= =T.T= =T.T= =T.T= He's in Taiwan now... and he's too busy to make time .. plus I think the ticket quite expensive to book now.. I prefer him to save money and spend it on food... Uncle Allen (Justin's dad) met him in Tokyo last week for dinner and he told me that Takashi has lost weight T.T They met in KK before hehe Uncle also told me he's a good guy , a very smart guy and he cares about me very much :D :D :D :D but .. but .. but .. but but but but BUT uncle asked if I can get used to marrying a Japanese guy as he will be a very busy man like how he is now and that means he will not have much time to spend with me......... aaaaaahhh nonononono We now focus on our own career first <-- I replied. Very irrelevant answer I know =P

Ok lets talk about some good news now, another cousin of mine got pregnant!! woohoo~~~ my oldest uncle's youngest daughter, fen fen jie jie, 4 months old pregnant! Her very first baby so im really happy for her =) I just hope that she will experience a great birth and have a healthy baby in June next year which is my last wish for this year :) Also Congratulations!! to my best friend, Michiyo for passing all her exams~ hehehe Cant wait for you to come home, kiak kiak!!!

Last 3 Pics in My Camera

While I was stucked in Brunei - the lousy hotel they provided = Orchid Garden Hotel (4 star) = ... the check-in took forever with broken phones, super slow internet, unexciting breakfast... and they even forgot to put my flymate's apple strudels (6 boxes) in the fridge and left it at the reception till the next morning... yes hopeless..... the room looks nice though :)

Nisha trying out her new outfit, a gift from her mom who abandoned her few months ago.. poor Nisha.. She's good at posing, cooperates well with camera on my commands! Wooo~ I love Nisha :) Nisha's birthday is coming!! = 25th Dec = and she will be turning 3 ^^

Justin who traveled 10+hours to KK, playing XBox for 72 hours since his arrival... He was teaming up with his mates in Oz, playing the most violent game ever.. He seriously came all the way here to play GAMES, because he is currently playing Sheri's Nintendo DSL (1.30am). OK, I'm hoping to bring him to pulau this Sunday. I'm just too lazy to even move my finger these days. Thanks to Sylvia's hospitality in Singapore, I got diarrhea from Day one until I sat in the plane on my way back to KK....... jiejie, I lau sai 3 times after you dropped me at the airport.

**** Quick Update ****

Its my second day in Singapore now and will be going back to KK on Tuesday. Came all the way here to have my follow-up appointment at national eye centre and also to pick up Justin tomorrow who will be flying all the way from Melbourne and then send him off the next day to KK ... He'll be staying for a month and can't wait to see his grown up face =P

~

I will then be flying to KL on the 18th for 5 days to go gamble with my dad at genting highlands and.... shop!!!!! till drop... Takashi is planning to come visit me again this christmas just to see Orang Utan! not me :( hehe but I will be the happiest person in the world if I get to see him end of this year. But I hate it when he leaves. His presence always makes me feel heaven and hell. U know, a glimpse of heaven and a taste of hell... I hate to see him leave. If he's coming, he will only be staying for no more than a week. Busy man. Short holiday and flying everywhere. I think he's flying to Taiwan next week and L.A. early Jan.. I said "I think" bcuz I havent been talking to him much lately bcuz he's BUSY!

~

I can keep myself busy too ok! Yoko is coming to visit me in KK middle of Jan and I've booked 3 days 2 nite tour to Pulau Sipadan with her and my beloved cousin, Cyril!!! For your information, Yoko used to be my Japanese language partner and also my very first Japanese friend who I was obligated to meet weekly to complete our weekly task in order to pass my Jap subject at uni... and that is how we became really close friends now :) I'm so happy for her that she has passed all her exams and that she has successfully applied for a cruise ship job as a beautician. Like really good cruise ship. They will first send her to London for training before starting her job and that means I won't be seeing her for at least a year :( sad sad~ but I am really glad for her because this is what she always wanted and the best part is she will get paid really well and once she finishes the job she will have enough earnings to open her own beauty saloon in Japan :)

~

Ohh this is meant to be a quick update.. Takashi is calling now.. I better return to skype~ Hope everyone is enjoying the very last bit of 2008 which will be long forgetten when 2009 comes.... :)
