Goodbye Dina

Dina
21 December 1997 - 24 July 2014
16+ Years Old

Beloved Companion.
You will always be in our thoughts.

Last days

Dina drinking soup as she needed more fluid.

The vet gave us the above for us to administer Subcutaneous Fluids (SQ) to her as she needed it but as the days went by, she became weaker and weaker. We were told that her kidneys were failing. The only humane course of action is to say goodbye and put her to sleep to end her sufferings and it was done at the vet this afternoon. She outlived her twin brother by 2+ years.

Final resting place in our front garden with these beautiful flowers.

Stones to mark her grave

Not enough sleep?

Now that football fever is on, many people are very sleepy during the day because they stay up to watch the games late night. So please be careful when driving. By the looks of it, I think Netherlands will win the World Cup this time.

Beautiful flowers to wake you up

Back then...

When I was young, I used to buy bread and snacks from vendors selling them on motorcycles but now I don't do this anymore as I buy all my food from grocery stores at the local mall. So seeing the motorcyclist below with his bread and snacks hanging all over his motorcycle recently makes me think of my younger days.

Do you still buy bread and snacks from the roti-man on his motorcycle? Roti means bread in the Malay Language.

How does he balance his motorcycle with so many packs of bread and snacks hanging on it, I wonder.
