What A Dog's Meal!

Hey, it's been sometimes since I've wrote on my blog... sorry as my dog, Husky (the dog in the pic below is my little boy), was having diarrhoea recently!

Oh for those who didn't know, I've a dog which was adopted by me and my boyfriend 5 years ago. He was given to us by a couple who didn't knew the wife was pregnant when she bought Husky back then. After she gave birth, she simply couldn't kept Husky in the house as Husky owners may know...Siberian Husky like most medium to large dog breed shed a lot of furs.....

So, what of pity, me and my boyfriend decided to adopt him! Now, he's staying at my boyfriend;s house and happily living with his family!

Although Husky's staying with my boyfriend's family, he's actually very close to me! Not that he's not close with the family, but every time whenever he's sick, he will prefer to have me by his side to take care of him. So, recently, I went over to stay at my boyfriend's house after bringing him to the vet till he's well again.

While staying there, I found out how pampered my boyfriend's mum is to Husky! Can you all guess what did Husky always have for dinner? It's something that most dogs don't get the luxury to have it!

Yes! It's Shabu Shabu Beef Slices + Brown Rice + Carrot + Tomato....that's what Husky get to eat for dinner everyday! (For those who didn't know...Shabu Shabu Beef are beef slices that are sliced very thinly for Japanese steamboat)...

My boyfriend's mum really pampered Husky too much... not only that... in the afternoon he got lots of doggie snacks for him and as far as I know... my boyfriend's mum usually spent about $50 per 2 weeks to replenish him snacks at the pet shop....

I'm thinking..what a good life Husky is having....and come to think of that...a lot of the dogs in the world is not as fortunate as Husky... these dogs either have been abused or starved to death by irresponsible owners who view their lives inferior to a being...which I totally disagree!...I mean every being has the right to live and furthermore, dogs are so much similar to humans...they have feeling, they cry, they fall sick, they also need to be loved like us human does!

Also, most of these irresponsible owners tend to adopt these dogs only out of a folly fun/interest moment...and later felt they are a burden and starts to get irritated by them when they need to take care of them...and the story goes on...in the end...most of these poor dogs end up in other people's home or left on the streets to die on their own! Just imagine...a moment of fun/interest will cause the death of permanent damage of a life..which by no mean is inferior to human beings!

So, those prospective pet owner out there who are thinking of getting a pet dog or cat...please think twice or thrice....

Asian vs Westerner Perspective

Hey...it's me again! Today, after attending one of my summer term course on Social Media across Asia...it struck to me that more and more Asians have been blogging and this number is increasing gradually...as for the issues that they blog, it's mostly pertaining to personal interests like hobbies, food, etc...

But look at the westerners' blogs..a lot is on debating issues such as politics and current news!
I mean... from this blogging pattern, it seems that Asians care more about things that is personal to them, like sports or food for example while westerners care more about how they can make a different for the communities and the world as a whole...I mean that...there are still Asian people out there that cares and do blog them..but that number is seemingly small as compared to the westerners...

So, I'm thinking, are most Asians only bothered with things that only got to do with them? And I'm seriously agreeable on that... like for example...the global warming issue....it is very obvious that, this is simply a global issue.... I mean it concerns everyone since we are human and everyone lives on this mother earth... and of course, in order to survive and help our future generation to live on, it's everyone's effort to help to work on this environmental hot issue and the simplest thing to do (if everyone feels that it is their responsibility) is to help it deteroriate further by making a small change in your lifestyle...like using electrical fan than air-conditioning or save water by turning off ur tap immediately after use...
But we have seem report and watched news reporting on country that polluting the whole environment due to their heavy industrialized economy and is trying to shift the responsibility away by demanding leading countries to set as an example first...it seems like to me that these countries are looking for this kind of excuse as they are worried that by conforming to lower pollution emission will cause their whole industralized economy to slow down and they will not progress as fast as they should...

But from an environmentalist point of view, I just felt that's not right! I mean ...this is global issue...if the whole globe is to conform to these measures...then I see the pace of progress will slow down globally and the impact will be not the same as thought by these countries..

So, bringing back..me as an Asian individual...I personally will try my bit to help make this world a better place! And to kickstart..I have already help out by switching off my air-conditioning and choose to enjoy the summer breeze together with my electrical fan... So what about you?

Job Traveling...

Hey there, for those who know me...they know I'm still studying..but YES! I'm graduating end of this year...yeah!!!

At least, that's the GOOD news...but the "not so good" news is that...I understand from the recent news that Singapore is going into an economic slowdown which will be stretching into 2009..which also means... like most uni graduates...I may not be able to get a job that I really want! (**Shaking head**) What to do? To look optimistic...think I should start securing a job soon...

Oh talking about economic slowdown...I think most countries that follow US market will be hitted as or even more badly than us...at least for the BIG GIANTS...I mean the rising big countries like China and India...they may not be hitted so badly since they are currently developing into becoming a fully developed country! So I'm thinking... is China really that great? I mean not to offend..but alot of my school mates been talking about how great it is to be working in overseas and especially when China is on the way to become a full-developed country and is looking for internship there as they felt that there will be a lot of job opportunities around...**blah blah blah**

The question I'm posting is...Is traveling a part of your desired job criteria?.... I mean if given a situation which provide you 2 job opening...1st is your dream job with no traveling opportunity at all and the 2nd is an average job that allows you to travel all the time (to places you like to visit). Which one will you choose?

Thinking back...when I was younger...I mean I am still young but younger as in the teenage years like 15 to 21... my dream is to be able to get a job that allows me to travel oftenly so I am very positive that I will definitely choose the 2nd job... but now as I get more mature, I rather choose the 1st job as now I just feel that I don't really like the idea of traveling around so much. I mean I don't mind traveling but the urge to get a job that will enable me to travel is not there already!

So, I'm thinking...is it because I become more matured and want to settle down or maybe my family tie is getting stronger that I don't wish to part with my family so often? I don't really know the reason..but it seems to me that now... I prefer more stable lifestyle than being as advantageous like I used to me....maybe that's life...as we get older...we learn to see things from another angle that we thought we will never want to go into previously...

So posting that to that job opening question...if you were me...which job will you choose?
