Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways. - Stephen Vincent Benét
R.I.P. Brownie
You will not be forgotten
Brownie came to us for a short stay a little over 2 weeks back. She was an extremely cute and lovable guinea pig with a gentle and timid nature. During her short stay here, I looked forward to seeing her cute face outside the house of her cage and calling out her name softly to get her attention. Brownie also managed to melt Mitch's usual cold attitude towards animals. She enjoys eating hay, carrots, apples and occasionally her typical feed. Mav told me she has not bitten anyone before and true to her words, kind little Brownie had never sunk her teeth into me no matter how much I reached my hands in to pat her. So when I heard her stumble out and collapse beside her food bowl, I was both shocked and worried. Just yesterday she was still breathing heavily and fighting to stay alive.
In loving memory, 27/9/2007.
It sometimes takes just a pet to make one realise that life is indeed short and transient. There are a lot of things in life that people do that had left them with regret and sadness. She makes me look at the way I am, and the way I live my life. I wished I could turn back time and perhaps, I could have done a lot of things differently.
Sorry, Browns. Please rest in peace.

FLY AWAY FROM HERE
by Aerosmith
Gotta find a way
Yeah, I can't wait another day
And nothin' gonna change
If we stay around here
Gotta do what it takes
Cause it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes, yeah
But it's never to late to start again
Take another breath
And say another prayer
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
If this life
Isn't hard enough
It ain't no nevermind
You got me by your side
And anytime you want
Yeah, we can catch a train and find a better place
Yeah, cause we won't have nothin' or no one keep gettin' us down
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and hit the sky
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
Didn't you see your blue sky now
You could have a better ride now
Open your eyes
Cause no one here can better or stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and say goodbye
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Honey, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hope and dreams are out there somewhere
Fly away from here
Yeah, anywhere
Honey, I don't, I don't, I don't care
We'll just fly away

because I so totally am
ONE Owning a cafe/beach pub is my biggest dream TWO Wanderlustic soul. A life without geographical transition would depress me tremendously. THREE A Happy Drunk FOUR Hate activities that require sun exposure. So I exercise only at evenings/nights. FIVE Tend to keep my room tidy when I live alone but it's extremely untidy when I'm living with someone. SIX Can do a mean swing. The playground sort. Watch me fly. SEVEN 12-hour sleep days are ideal for me EIGHT Do not leave me with a pair of scissors, I'll start snipping hairs NINE Really wanna travel to N.America, S.America, Russia and Africa TEN Closet escapist ELEVEN Hypersensitive to body language (to a point of reading too much) TWELVE Don't be surprised to see me smiling to myself, I often conjure laughable scenarios in my head THIRTEEN The word "fuck" is like "shit" & "damn" to me. Is it even vulgar? FOURTEEN Eats hash browns with maple syrup, fries with ice-cream & curry sauce with everything (you should follow me to Mc D sometimes) FIFTEEN
Cooks awesome. I should cook more. But I don't. Except when living alone.
