My beloved brother Aloysius

He was born prematurely on the 27th April,1982. He was placed in an incubator for intensive care. The doctor said he might not be able to make it but he survived. When he was 3 years old, he was hospitalised for 10days because of high fever. The doctor again said he might not be able to make it but he survived. He fell down from first floor when he was 5 years old and had head injury.Few stitches were placed on his right side of his forehead. The scar was visible and remained on his right forehead.

He lost his mom when he was 16 years old. He was devastated and had tough life after that. He then became very independent and a strong sense of survival. He finished his diploma in hotel management and catering at the age of 22.He loves to cook and he's a good bar tender. He mixed cocktails and made his own cocktails receipes. He cooked for my elder brother's wedding and any festivals at home. He loves to eat and tried new food too. He was a good friend to all his friends. He said he wanted to get married in 2 years time and dreamt to open a lounge. His life has never been smooth sailing for the past 3 years and yet he gone through it.

He left us on 15 Nov 2007 due to road accident. We lost him and won't be able to see him anymore. He's now with mom.

I miss him badly.I can's stop thinking about him. My heart sores. Life is so unpredictable and vunerable. I keep asking myself why God chose him? Why this time?

Dearest Aloy,

You rest in peace. Take care of mom in heaven. Dont worry about us. We shall meet again in heaven.

From all of us

Papa, Ani, Jeff and me.

Selamat Hari Raya

I've been thinking of rendang and lemang for the past 1 week. Cant help myself to stop thinking of these 2 dishes. Those are one of my favourite food. This year I've got the chance to visit my collegue-Kak Rosnah for the open house :) The moment I entered the flat I was impressed of how she decorated her low cost flat.It was nice and cosy. All the food and cookies that served were prepared by Kak Rosnah. The rendang and lemang were so delicious. Mee hun soup is seriously delicious also. I would love to have another bowl of mee hun soup at that time, but I was too full. The cookies were nice too. I am still thinking of the mee hun soup now.

Mee Hun with taugeh, fried onion,lemon,chicken

fillets, salted fish etc and of course with the soup

Lemang, ketupat and rendang..yummy!!!

Sigh..again I met many difficult and weird pet's owners this week. Sometimes I just can't breath. Please give me a break and I need a long vacation!!

Complaints just keep on pouring in and which I don't think it's our vet's faults. Heard like " the vet killed my dog during the treatment." eerrr....that's not true! I found most of the irresponsible pet's owner bring their pet to see vet when their pet is extremely ill. We as a responsible vet will definitely do our best to save the sick animals.But often when their pet died, it's all vet's fault. However, some of the pet's owner will never appreciate you when you've saved their pets. Not even a word of "Thank you". I am really wondering what's in their mind. Just wanna share my frustration over what I had encounter for the past 1 week..Phew...

In remembrance of Fluffy who passed away on 14 July, 2007. Rest in peace, Fluffy!I'll be missing you.

16 pieces of dog biscuits

I had a funny emergency case last night around 1130pm. It's a 2 months old toy poodle presented to me with the complaint of acute onset of weakness. Below is the conversationg that I had with the owner.

Owner: I saw my dog lying in the cage when I came back home just now and no energy to eat when I offered food to him. Why ar doctor?
Me: Errr...Any vomiting and diarrhae?When did you last feed the dog and how many time do you feed your dog normally?
Owner:Oh, no vomiting and diarrhae. I fed my dog at 10am this morning. I feed twice a day only. Why ar doctor? My dog pengsan because of not eating is it?
Me: How much of dog biscuits you feed normally?
Owner: I usually give 16 pieces of dry biscuits only.
Me: HA?!!!!! 16 PIECES ONLY??!!!! WHO TOLD YOU SO????!!!
Owner: Ne...the petshop person asked me to give 16 pieces only...must control their intake so that my dog won't grow too big..
Me: You under feed your dog, he's now having low glucose in the blood(hypoglycaemia). So I've to check his glucose level and put him on drip now.

The toy poodle was getting up and eating after we put him on drip with glucose.

I didnt LOL in front of the owner but in my heart. On the other hand, I was a little bit upset not on the owner but the petshop people that giving out the wrong information and education to the pet's owners. There's no such thing as feeding your dog with 16 pieces of dry biscuits!!!?? Come on, please do some reading on basic information of how to take care of a pet. To all the pet's owner out there,please do seek for professional veterinary advice instead of listening to all these improper and fake information.

Rock Climbing

Finally, we make it to go to learn rock climbing at Summit yesterday. We've been talking about it since last year. hehe...

First timer of rock climbing is compulsory to attend Basic Rock Climbing Safety Instruction Course. It was about 2 hours course. Initially we learnt how to wear harness in proper way then learnt how to tie few safety knots eg figure of 8 and double figure of 8. Lastly, we were taught a few techniques to become a good belayer as belayer is very important in rock climbing. Coz he/she that save your life when one falls down while climbing. Totally fun and exciting. It's just RM14 per entry for unlimited climb.

Now, both of my arms' muscles are aching. Looking forward for the next session of rock climbing. For more information go to this website www.nomadadventure.com/climbing.php

Sorry for the long hiatus. I didnt really post up any blog for the past 2 months. Kinda slack lately. Clinic has been extremely busy for the past 2 weeks. I had quite a few of hospitalization cases as well. I have a weird and mysterious case that puzzled me until now though the patient has already been discharged. I got no idea what's happening with this dog. It's a case of a 2 year-old intact male rottwailer presented to me with the complaint of inappetance and unable to walk for 2 days. No history of trauma as such.Physical examination was done. The dog was bright and alert, temperature normal, on sternal recumbency, unable to bear weight on both frontlimbs, CP negative and knuckle for both front limbs, painful both shoulder joint, postive for superficial and deep pain and hyperesthesia along the thoracolumbar region as well as the muscle of both hind limbs.Blood profile showed BUN,CREA and PHOS(kidney parameters) were all elevated by 2 times. X-ray of pelvis and spine showed non significant findings.My differential for this case were poisoning, polymyositis and immunemediated disease.

The dog was immediately hospitalised and put on 0.9% NaCl for 6 days to flush off the toxin in the body. The kidney profiles reduced back to normal after 6 days of drips. But unfortunately he is still unable to walk. To rule out immunemediated disease and polymyositis I started off this dog with prednisolone(steroids).After 3 days of prednisolone the dog shows some improvement on the hindlimbs but still unable to bear weight on the frontlimbs. The dog was discharged today with 1 week of prednisolone. I am praying that the dog will get better and start to walk after 1 week. Still remain puzzle of what's actually wrong with this dog. Any comment?Here's the picture of the rotty.

Finally home sweet home

This was the first time I spend my CNY in KL. It was sucks and boring. No firecrackers, no lion dance, roads were so much empty. Very pathetic isnt it? I wonder how KL people celebrating their CNY. I started working on the 3rd day of CNY.I enjoyed driving on highway during CNY. It was so much quicker to reach my working place compare to normal days. Great isnt it? I had reunion dinner with my brother's family. Food were good:)....Anyway, I didnt go anywhere on 1st and 2nd days of CNY. Stayed at home with Sally, Emma, Lassie, Junior and Fluffy, and had a good rest as well. Bought Sally and Emma each a new collars for CNY.

Well,finally I came back home today(9th day of CNY). I am going to spend Chap Goh Meh with my family which I have not been doing that for the past 6 1/2years. Sibu is still the same, small town famous with "Kampua mee" and "Kom Pia" . These are my favourite foods since young. I can't wait to eat the food man! Will post up some photos later. Went to my best friend's(Wei Sam) house for BBQ party on Chap Goh Meh's eve. It was definitely fun with firecrackers :)Here are some of the photos.

Sally went missing for the past 1 day. She didnt come back last night. We got extremely worried about her as she would always come back after roaming. I went around the neighbourhood few times to look for her last night as well as today. I just couldn't find her. I was praying so hard to God and asked Him to guide her back.

Coincidently, on our way to swimming pool just now ,we found her!! It's timing man! God works wonder. If we didnt go for swimming tonight, I am sure Sally still can't find her way back.
Sophia and I nearly changed our mind to go shopping just now. Thank God for His guidance.

Anyway, Sally is alright now. She was extremely hungry. I have never seen her so hungry before. Both of her front paws swell up, guess due to too much of walking. Poor gal! Glad that she's back now. A lesson for us to learn not to let loose dogs to roam freely :)
