Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 13, 2011 By Kim Ong Leave a Comment

In my entire life, I’ve only spent real Valentine’s Day once – with Josiah last year 2010 although we have been together for 4 years now. He said that everyday’s Valentine’s Day. It’s true. I’m not going to be the one who would spoil your V-day by saying it’s too commercialised and because I don’t have my hubby here to spend it with me. In fact, I think the idea of V-day is awesome to bring people together, or at least to spur people on to find love when they see others in love (I’ve perhaps watched too many chick flicks now).

Oh, my last movie was “No Strings Attached”. I’m falling in love with Natalie Portman – she’s such a gorgeous actress, so versatile and I love how she’s getting into more serious roles. Hopefully she’ll bounce back on immediately after her baby soon but she’ll still be producing a show this year.

V-day 2011 is going to be a normal working day, my dinner date will be Chutney. For Josiah, it’s pretty much with all his colleagues while he races at the Asian Cycling Championships in Korat, Thailand.

So cute, my little Chutney. He is 4-months old.

Chutney’s Drama Mama

January 23, 2011 By Kim Ong 5 Comments

I had a really eventful weekend. On Friday night at 12am after my session of Korean BBQ with my friends, I came home at 11pm, thawed Chutney’s raw beef + kangaroo meat, went about to do my own things and then sat down. I looked at Chutney and he immediately ambushed me, attacked my hand and took a good deep bite of what he thought was some kind of Korean Bulgogi for his dinner! I went hysterical and he looked pretty sorry for me. Blood was gushing out a little (I think it must have been somewhat deep for that small of a cut). I washed the wound under running Australian (clean water) tap before sterilising my wound with some antiseptic wipes from Johnson & Johnson’s from my first-aid kit before putting on a little plaster. I vowed to go to the hospital the following day.

Above: After washing and squeezing the blood out.

I woke up late as I was really tired from the entire week, had lunch at 1pm. Chutney apologised and I went to the hospital at 5pm, waited an hour for my turn before a Malaysian nurse attended to me at The Alfred and I was given an anti-tetanus jab that would last me ten years. My wound was fine so I didn’t have to go through antibiotics.

Above: Only a small scratch after 12 hours later.

I went hysterical crying because it suddenly hit me.

1. My house is dirty because of the cat – have to clean up his poo, pee and etc.
2. I have no time for him and he is really demanding.
3. Why did he have to attack me after numerous times telling / teaching him not to bite?

I would catch him by the neck and signal a heavy “no!” or sometimes bang the table to inject fear. I know I have responsibilities as a “cat mummy” but when he bit me, it just became apparent to me – why is he in my life? To which I immediately tweeted, threatening to give him up for adoption (as if he would read my twitter), and out of anger.

I was angry at the fact of him biting me, not because of the bite. We all know by now my pain tolerance is pretty high (from pole dancing, braces, corneal ulcer – injection into the eye and teeth extraction), will tell you again when I endure child labour.

Then I suppose it really did hit me – the fact that Josiah was not around.

Being A Single Parent

I realised I was a single parent and I had to put in a lot more effort to bring up my child in the absence of my hubby. Is that children with single parents (sometimes – not often) tend to be more rebellious because they demand more attention?

I must admit, I have been really busy in the past week and have not spent much time with Chutney at all. He started acting weirdly, kept meowing forever and playing hide and seek alot while biting on everything he could get on to.

His scratching – not an issue because he always has short nails (I do cut them on a regular basis), but I really cannot control his fangs. I guess he’s learnt his lesson now after seeing me cry hysterically (oh, the drama!). I had to, it’s been ages since I last cried. Maybe that was my outlet of expression too behind this strong cyclist wife who misses her hubby (who is travelling around racing again for a month).

Oh the horror – hospital bed again. Haven’t seen one in many years now.

The following day, I spent the day with Amber at Chapel St. Another car collided into mine, causing some scratch on my car, over-parked the car by 8 minutes and parking ticket officer smiled and let me off, then I went to pick Chutney up at his Godmother’s – Chutney peed in the backseat floor because he was scared or had motion-sickness.

Oh what a weekend. Can’t believe I can still hold a smile (especially after the car scratch).

And then, I realised too that I really love my cat. In fact I missed him last night when I returned home and he was still at Ray’s.

He’s a cute little thing, just have to give him more time. This week will be a better week.

Spoiling Chutney

January 19, 2011 By Kim Ong 1 Comment

Hi, it’s Chutney again. So much has happened since I last blogged! Latest updates – I have new toys! I have so many now I just can’t list them all.

At the moment, this one’s my favourite. His name is Mr. Pink Bones.

I also love mummy’s pink pyjama pants. I think I do have a fascination for pink colour!

Gourmet food I cannot wait to eat but apparently mummy got charged $4 extra by Coles for a “10 for $8″ deal! I have to wait till she gets them checked out.

Oh yes, I started pole-dancing too!

Also, I have a new collar bell with my name engraved on it! You like?

Spent the entire weekend with my Godmother Ray.

I also love this little fountain my daddy got for me. I love water.

The Many Faces of Chutney Ng the Bengal Kitten

January 11, 2011 By Kim Ong 14 Comments

Hi, it’s me, Chutney! You know, I had the yummiest food today, I kept meowing! It’s beef mixed with kangaroo meat. Slurp! I couldn’t stop eating them. Then my mummy packed my meat in cling wrap and froze them so they’re kept fresh. I can only eat a spoonful each day. I finished the kangaroo meat earlier and refused to eat the final bit on the fourth day (must have gone bad). I’m not that high maintenance, just like…. you know, other cats.

Oh yes, I also have a passport!

I am fascinated by toys not specially made for cats. Seriously, give me more grown-up toys. Noisy ball with bell inside doesn’t interest me at all. And oh, the cat scratcher thing? I think I only scratch it once a day. I’m more interested in scratching my master’s Nike bag and biting the strap.

I rarely rest, but when I do, I sit on my mummy’s computer seat.

And yes, I do love watching the television too.

See what I mean about grown-up toys? Just simple shoelaces tied together with a plastic wrap at the end! My mummy kept saying aloud “syok sendiri” and laughs hysterically but I really don’t know what she means. She said she will post up a video of me playing someday. OMG! Serious?

I wish she can stop taking pictures of me poo-pooing? Excuse me?

My daddy calls me a hunter. My parents can never pet me on my back when I’m in that hunting mode, they have to wait till I calm down. Afterall, I do have the Asian Leopard Cat genes in me. Wild cat! Meow.

At this point, I could already tell that my parents are starting to torture me! Aiyoooooo, why?

I’m shy, you know?

The top of the cat-scratching post I hardly jump on to.

In fact, I prefer my daddy’s head!

I love heights!

This is like a hammock for me.

I love cuddling too, but not too much. This morning, I tickled my mummy’s face to wake her up for work! She almost didn’t realise her alarm went off twice!!!??? Maybe I wore her out. It’s my day 3 with her.
