Simba's canine tooth fell out!

I'm so worried when i found out my cat just lost 2 of his fangs.. I noticed this when he was yawning and i was like.. "Oh shit! Where is your teeth???" (Dont feel strange, talking with cat is so normal) ^____^

I quickly get him and lay him down on my lap.. I tried to open his mouth although he doesnt really let me look at it.. Hey! He's just 5 months old, and i keep thinking will his tooth grow back?? I hope he's not in pain, but seeing him still eating his dry food without a problem certainly made me feel much more relieved..

I did read some articles about this and thank God it's totally NORMAL.. =)))

Can you see it? Missing fang on the upper right and the bottom left, pity Simba.. =((

Do you guys know, actually cats are just like humans. They have 2 sets of teeth, kitten (deciduous) teeth and adult (permanent) teeth. Kitten teeth begin to fall out around three months of age..

Here are some informations for your reference..

WHAT AGE DOES A KITTEN GET IT'S TEETH?

Baby Teeth:

• 2 weeks: Deciduous incisors (the small teeth at the front) begin to come in.
• 3 - 4 weeks: Deciduous canines (the long, pointy teeth next to the front teeth) begin to come in.
• 4 - 6 weeks: Deciduous pre-molars (also known biscupids, these are the teeth located between the canine and molar teeth)  begin to come in.
• 8 weeks: All baby teeth have come in.

Adult teeth:

• 12 - 16 weeks: Incisors come in.
• 4 - 6 months: Canines, pre-molars & molars come in.
• 7 months: All adult teeth should be fully developed.

HOW MANY TEETH DOES A CAT HAVE? 

Kittens have 26 teeth, adult cats have 30.

From time to time, the adult tooth will emerge before the baby tooth has fallen out. This is known as shark or retained teeth and is quite common. If you notice that your cat has two teeth in the one spot you should take it to the veterinarian who will be able to extract the baby tooth.

CAT TOOTH DISEASES 

There are several diseases that can affect cat teeth, including;

• Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums)
• Endodontic disease (inflammation of the dental pulp)
• Periodontal disease (caused by a build up of plaque on the teeth, pockets are formed between gums & teeth & there is bone loss)
• Tooth abscess
• Stomatitis

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CAT'S TEETH

Regularly give your cat either raw chicken necks or wings, chunky pieces of raw beef which the cat really has to gnaw on.

Regularly clean your cat's teeth. You will need to purchase a special cat toothpaste from your vet. Never use human toothpaste on cats. It is a good idea to start cleaning your cat's teeth from as early an age as possible.

Regularly check your cat's teeth for signs of disease such as red & inflamed gums, bad breath, tartar on the teeth, missing teeth etc. If you notice anything, seek veterinary attention immediately.

A Rational Reason of Wearing "Hijab"

It's been more than 3 times i was asked by my friends who were non-muslim about why i didn't wearing a hijab (veil) like other Muslim women out there..

Honestly i'm quite awkward with this question because i'm not the one who knows clearly about religious tenets like those Ustazah and Muslim scholars.. I just know the basic and i still have many more to learn..

BUT, i try to answer it in a simple language and verse so that it would be easy for them to understand. I guess so.. Heheh..

While i'm searching the verses on why Muslim women have to wear hijab which is more than just a head cover, i found this..

It's because God ordered them to do so in two places in the Qur'an, and because Prophet Muhammad also ordered it. The Qur'an says in Surah 24, verses 30 - 31 what means:

~ "And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty that they should not display their beauty and ornaments excepts what (must ordinarily) appear thereof that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband fathers, their son, their husband's son, their brothers or their brother's son, or their sister's sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hand possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of shame of sex and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! Turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss." ~

Me wearing hijab on the 1st day of Hari Raya

NOTE:
For me, whether you want to wear veil or not is all up to the individual perception and understanding. I believe that there will be an extra credits waiting for you if you follow the rule with sincerity.. Just make sure that there is no element of coercion in making goodness..

Mark Zuckerberg Married to Priscilla Chan

Don't tell me you do not know who is Mark Zuckerberg... *__*

This Facebook founder and CEO announced the happy news with an update on his Facebook timeline yesterday..

Zuckerberg (28) and Priscilla (27) tied the knot at a small ceremony in his backyard at Palo Alto home in front of less than 100 guests, who thought they were attending a party to celebrate Priscilla's graduation from UC San Francisco's medical school.

The couple met at Harvard and have been together for more than nine years. The authorized source said the wedding ring features a simple ruby that Zuckerberg designed himself and the ceremony was catered by a few of the couple's favorite area restaurants, with desserts coming from L.A. Burdick Chocolate which the couple is reported to have enjoyed on their very first date together.

With their adopted Hungarian sheepdog named Beast

The wedding comes just a day after Facebook went public where Facebook's stock closed Friday at $38.23, up 23 cents from Thursday night's pricing. That means the company has a market value of about $105 billion, more than Amazon.com, Mc Donald's and Silicon Valley icons Hewlett-Packard and Cisco.. Which means Zuckerberg has a stake worth around $19.3 billion!

NOTE:
Hellooo.. She just married to one of the richest men in the world.. 19 billion dollars! Wow... Anyway, congratulations to both of them.. :-)

Humour of the Week..

I had gone through the most heaviest and craziest week last week.. Overloaded work with overreacted people.. Wohh! That was scary enough to make my nerve breakdown.. (+___+)

BUT

One of my colleague (who is my super most understanding friend ever!) sent me an email which really make me burst into laughter.. HAHAHA.. =))) --- Thank to her..

Lets start..

Husband texts to wife on cell, "Hi, what are you doing Darling?"
Wife: I'm dying
Husband jumps with joy but types, "Sweetheart, how can i live without you?"
Wife: You idiot! I'm dying my hair!
Husband muttered, "Bloody English Language!"

------------------------------------------------

An angry wife to her husband on phone: "Where the hell are you?"
Husband: Darling, you remember that jewellery shop where you saw the diamond necklace and totally fell in love with it, and i didnt have money that time, and i said, "Baby, it'll be yours one day.."?
Wife (with a smile and blushing): Yeah, i remember that my love!
Husband: I am in the pub just next to that shop.
Wife slapped phone.

------------------------------------------------

An airline introduced a special package for businessmen.
Buy Your Ticket Get Your Wife's Ticket Free.
After great success, the company sent letters to all the wives asking how was the trip.
All of them gave the same reply, "Which Trip?"

------------------------------------------------
Husband was seriously ill

Doc to wife: Give him healthy breakfast, be pleasant and in good mood, dont discuss your problems, no TV, dont demand new clothes and gold jewels. Do this for one year and he will be OK.

On the way home...

Husband: What did the doc say?
Wife: No chance for you to survive.

------------------------------------------------

New SIM to surprise her husband
Woman buys a new SIM Card and puts it in her phone and decides to surprise her husband who is seated on the couch in the living room.

She goes to the kitchen, calls her husband with the new number. "Hello Darling"

The husband responds in a low tone: "Let me call you back"

Later the husband called back the number, "Ok honey, the dumb lady is in the kitchen"

-----------------------------------------------

Wife: You always carry my photo in your handbag to the office. Why?
Darling: When there is a problem, no matter how impossible, i look at your picture and the problem disappears.
Wife: You see, how miraculous and powerful i am for you?
Darling: Yes, i see your picture and say to myself, "What other problem can be greater than this one?".

--------------------------------------------

Wife: Honey, what are you looking for?
Husband: Nothins
Wife: Why have you been reading our marriage certificate for an hour!
Husband: I was just looking for the expiry date.

----------------------------------------

Husband asks: Do you know the meaning of WIFE? It means... Without Information Fighting Everytime!
Wife says: No darling, it means With Idiot For Ever.


* Hahaha.. That's all for now, shall continue next time.. :-)))

Pinang Emas Apartment, Batu Feringgi

Actually since last month till now i'm in the process of looking and surveying a medium or low cost house for myself..

Besides feeling frustrated with the house condition which is not meet my expectation (CAUTION: Do not trapped by the photo's searched in Google), seriously this 'activity' also make me feel exhausted!!  +___+

After all, this is my final choice "Pinang Emas Apartment" in Batu Feringgi (yet to confirm, still need to seek some advice from friends and family, hehe..).. Although it's very far away from my current house (it took 2 hours for me to reach there by public bus) but i'll TRY my best to stick to it..

Pinang Emas Apartment

Car park lot

Cafe and Mini Market just below the units 

Living room

Small space for kitchen, suitable for bachelor or newly married couple

Clean corridor

Ok, about the location..

From Tanjung Bungah, you have to drive along the road until you find a junction which you can see The Ship Restaurant on your right.. Turn left and drive up to the hill.. But if you are coming from Teluk Bahang, you'll see Holiday Inn Hotel on your left, then turn right at the junction.. The apartment is located behind the Eden Seaview Condominium and near to the International School of Penang (UPLANDS).. Heee~



Along the way to the apartment

If you are lucky, you'll be able to see those monkeys playing and eating beside the road up to the apartment

Another monkey.. ^___^

My Lovely Mug

Mug? Yes.. Need a defination? Hehe.. It's a sturdily built with handles and often hold a larger amount of fluid.. Used for drinking hot beverages such as coffee, tea or hot chocolate..

I have my own lovely mug which ONLY me can use on it.. :-))

My Special "Black Mug"

Why is it so special? Because..... It's a gift from my loved ones.. Actually, we bought it pairs, eventhough it's not a couple mugs.. What distinguishes it is the color of the mug itself.. Mine is Black and the other one is Maroon..

Talking about mug, do you know what is the most expensive mug in the world??

Well, Weber's old mug may be the worlds most expensive plinking target.. The cup is actually made of solid gold, and is a rare, ancient artwork, crafted over 2300 years ago. The unusual mug, decorated with twin, opposite-facing female heads, was appraised with a value exceeding one-quater million dollars ($250,000)!

Most Expensive Mug "Weber's Gold Cup"

Where the hell was this John Weber get this TREASURE? Hehehe..

Actually he was given this metal mug by his grandfather in 1945. Though his grandfather had a "good eye" for antiques, John never thought the metal mug was worth much. He played with it as a child, and even used it as a target for his air rifle (What?? Eyes rolling).. The mug, assumed to be brass, has languished in a shoe box under Weber's bed for decades..

Custom Clearance in China

OMG.. Why did this happen to me??

Shipment Tracking System

China Customs is killing me with their madness, ridiculous and crazy requests.. Grrrrr..! (pull hair)

On the end of July last month i've sent 4 pieces of garment from Malaysia to China via one of the well-known courier service in the world (i guess so).. Normally it will take 2 or 3 working days to reach consignee, but due to some circumstances, my cargo was held by China custom for nearly 2 weeks!!

There was lots of email flying here and there just because of this one particular shipment, as well as the conversation which is like hell of course.. Uff! I hate it..

I just wondering why they dont have a proper guidelines of the value for us to declare accordingly so that there's no such cases as UNDERVALUE shipment..? Yes, that was the real reason for my cargo delayed..

Example of KJ3 Form

In this case, you will need to fill up some form which is similar like KJ3 Form together with the explanation letter. For your information, my first revised document submitted to custom was rejected.. So, in order to avoid any further more delay, i did revised again the value 2 times higher than the first submission but it was still unaccepted..! Finally, the custom itself advised that the unit price should be at least USD50 and AGAIN asked me to revise the paperwork as per requested.. This is what i could not understand, why cant they just inform me earlier? Seriously, they are wasting my time..

The sad part is, this is not the first time i'm facing this kind of problem involving those fussiness customs.. :-(((

Happy Fasting! ~ 2011

Today is the first day of Ramadhan month in 2011 and here i would like to take this opportunity to wish all Muslims out there..

" SELAMAT MENYAMBUT BULAN RAMADHAN AL-MUBARAK "

AND

" HAPPY FASTING "

May you have a delightful day of Ramadhan and God bless you always.. Amin.. ^___^

Bracelet of Happiness

My foster sister bought me that when we went to Pagoda or also known as Kek Lok Si Temple 5 years ago.. I dont really know what kind of stone they use but its really cool.. The popo (old Chinese woman) who take care of the store smiled and said that these bracelet is for happiness when she first saw my sister hold and gently feel the smooth texture of the stone. What caught her interest was the natural design and color of the stone, it makes you feel cozy..

So.. This is it..

Sister: "Nah, this is for you, for your HAPPINESS..."

Me: "Heeeee.. Thank you.."
