I swear, my sister has an inflexible brain. She can only study at 1 table in the house,namely, the table in my room which JUST so happens to hold the computer. My brother's computer is down.. its impossible to use. And she REFUSES to let me use the computer just because of her one-table policy. I wonder how much more of this will I be able to tolerate.
People around me go: WOW....you have a sister.. that's so cool.. The both of you can share your clothes, feelings, etc. Uh...Think again. I grew up fighting with my sister. When we were younger, it was more of a 'Who can win more sympathy' thing. Now, think along the lines of catfights. Its terribly unglam, but when you are sharing a room with a person that you're not fond of 24/7, trouble naturally comes along. And when you're sharing a computer with that person......uh-uh. Don't wanna go there.
So, I went through HELL to go online. So please appreciate this post.
On a sidenote, I should be your idol because I'm bloging when my English Prelim papers are tomorrow. But I was thinking: Paper 2 can't really be practised. Paper 1..can be! Through blogging. Which is also a form of writing. And I think blogging has helped me tremendously.Try reading one of my ancient posts and you'll get what I mean.
After a particular episode today concerning a certain unwanted Jack Russell... I decided to blog about animal cruelty. I've never blogged about it before! How could I have forgotten about it?!
Firstly, buying an animal is not something that you should do on a whim. Don't go: Hey! That dog is so cute! Let's buy it!! Well, that same dog also sheds fur, poops and demands constant attention. Is it still cute?? Plus, even more consideration should be put in before buying intellectual animals.. Fishes and spiders are totally different from dogs and horses. How much time do you have to spare? Is that enough for the animal?
So, today, as I was saying, h.h, m.y and myself had a certain unwanted dog on our hands. Her ( I try not to call animals "It" ) name is Jess. And she has been shuffled from owner to owner her whole life. Dogs have feelings too. Would you like to be an "orphan", and when you finally get accustomed to a new home or when you finally trust people, you get shifted again. What sort of life is that? Furthermore, dogs have feelings too. I was wondering ( sometimes I wonder too much ) WHY was it that Fate dealt Jess such a harsh card? Why couldn't she have been blessed with a good, loving home? whywhyWHY? I was telling my mum about Jess just now and suddenly tears just started flowing down so freely. It reminded me of a chinese descriptive phrase, xiang (4) duan (4) le xian(4) de zhen(1) zhu(1). meaning: my tears fell like pearls falling from a snapped necklace. I admit that sometimes I can be so cold to humans, but when it comes to animals, its a different story. The innocence of animals, the fact that they are defenseless and have a capacity to love just disarms me. After my O' levels, I'll be intending to maybe work. But for sure, if my age permitts me to, I'll be helping out at the SPCA, against all advice. My mum is strongly against it ( Don't get me wrong, she LOVES animals too) because she knows how attached to animals I can get. And she knows that everyday I'll be crying when I see animals getting put to sleep; the very same dog that I had fed or walked just the previous day. Sigh. Thinking about all this stuff just makes me feel so down.
Honestly, its not easy to own a pet. Even though I love Rainbow to death, sometimes I return home after school, overwhelmed with school work and exams. Then I see Rainbow's cage, all littered with HARDENED droppings. And her water bottle, which needs scrubbing. Then her food bowl, with empty shells blocking out all the fresh seeds below and littering the floor around her cage. What's worse is when she decides to make Bird Soup, by throwing nonsense into her water , causing algae to grow, and needing me to pick it out with a toothpick. Seriously, I just leave it all to my mum. But what about people who don't have other reliable parties to take care of their pets when they " don't feel like it " ? What's gonna happen?
Think about it. Animal cruelty does not just mean torturing animals. It also includes acts of irresponsibility, such as abandonment or neglect. People who abuse animals are disgustingly insensitive, and people who neglect animals are NO BETTER.
So think twice, before you start singing " How much is that doggie in the window?? "
That's all, folks.. blogger is giving me that problem in which when you try to add in a letter, another one gets deleted.Groan.
These few days I just feel like crying so much.... Clara.
