First, the dog was laying down as if it was tied up to the bike seat, but suddenly the dog moved & stood up on the bike seat!!! It even popped its head over master's shoulder to help the master check out the traffic :) Btw, it wasn't tied up at all. Smart dog!!!
Btw... i wish BB have a better camera, the current cam's response is too slow & pic quality is so poor :(

a Red Placebo Collar

Today i bought a new collar for Tata. A red collar, I think it's good for Tata as she's a girl, should get a more feminine accessories for her.
I also bought some raw cow hides for Tata's snack. It said will help to keep dog’s dental hygiene. Guess Tata would need it, she never brush her teeth ever.
The reason I bought the new collar is that last week she broke off her old collar; I guess she get bored being tied up for almost 2 weeks. So she broke free and run around temple. It’s not that we are cruel to her, but we just don't dare to let her go off leash as she would scratch herself wildly to anything – anywhere and making herself bleed again.

As I walk to cashier, I think about my reason to care so much for Tata.
Do I really like dogs? Do I really care for Tata? Do I do this out of compassion? or simple a placebo for my poor soul?

Placebo... maybe it is the reason
Maybe by being busy to take care sick Tata, I can feel good about myself
Maybe by feeding her, I can feed my empty soul
Maybe by playing with her, I can free my worries
Am I doing all these cause I feel sorry for myself?
Am I ???

Welcome, Mr. President

Went to Plaza Indo today, and saw President of USA sitting on becak, saying "I come in Peace!!!"
Too bad nobody can help me to take pic with Mr. President   m(T.T)m
Just read that Mr.President's homecoming visit will be postponed again to June 2010 (was scheduled for18 March, then 23 March 2010). Though I am sure that the reason is not heaps of demonstration rejecting his visit... As one of Indonesian, I welcome anyone to come here. Indonesia is a beautiful country, you are welcome to visit anytime  :)

Let's Join Earth Hour 2010

  

Tata is getting better now!!!

Around a week ago, Tata, vihara's dog looked weird. Her left jaw was swollen, quite huge. I thought she was bullied by people or something. But day by day her condition getting worse (see the left side pic). Her whole body was swollen and must be very itchy, she couldn't stop scratching herself until she bleed badly... so sad to see her suffer. Anyway, lucky a friend gave me a vet's number.
I really have to thank Tata's vet. I was quite surprised that he didn't hesitate to drive all the way (from out of town) to see Tata, who is only a kampong dog. And was more impressed that he actually call to monitor Tata's condition. Btw, Tata is getting better, her scratch wound and pus are getting drier now, see on the right pic. She already have her spirit to chase off stranger too.
Thanks so much to Tata's vet for caring our dog.
Tata!!! Get well soon, k?!!!

Journey to The West

I used to love to watch "Monkey King". Since I found this clay thing, been so eager to put them into clay arts. It was a super fun experience to do research on these character of "Journey to The West", which lead me to know more detail of this legendary legend. I even had a weird dream about them (that I was on a chase and they all saved me) Hahahahaa...
For more pics pls check out "Journey to The West" photo album.
