My patience tested

What a beautiful day. Went to bed early last night, and when I woke up this morning, I feel so fresh. Let see what my cats are doing? It will be nice to bring them to my bed, stroke them and give them a hug on my bed. But that feeling doesn’t stay that long as what I about to see will give me mental.

Astaghfirullah! What the heck were my cats doing last night? It seems that someone has poke a hole at the back of the cat litter, and the rest, help that someone to spread it all over the floor.

I feel like kicking someone’s ass this morning. It happened that Oyen is the one that sits right next to my feet, and he’s the one that gets the kick. Don’t worry. I didn’t kick hard at all.

Vacuuming all of this would seem a simplest thing to do. But this is 10 litre of unused cat litter. It will be a waste. So, I just get a big container, and starts scooping back all the litter.

The good thing is, my living room smells very nice from the deodorant crystals that are in the litter. After I’ve done, lets give all of my cats a hug. Guess what, they are all smelling very nice. So it seems that it’s true that all of them play around with that litter.

Ticket to Bulgaria confirmed

Good. The ticket for my flight to Bulgaria for the training has been confirmed.

It’s another long journey flight. Looking at the route makes me feel tired already.

Now, 2 things left to do – apply from travel advance and sort out the hotel there in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Another round of shopping for my cats

It feels like I just bought a 10kg pack of Science Plan cat food for my cats. But actually, it almost 1 month already, and my cat food supply is already depleted.

It’s pay day today, so it is just a perfect time to do another round of shopping for my cats. Went to The Pet Safari at Ikano Power Centre after work. I don’t know, there’s something about this place that makes me always come here, even though there are several other shops in KL that sells the same thing that I’m getting at cheaper price. I guess maybe due to the location, where I can stop at Ikea for a while if I want, or go to the fish section if I want, and maybe go to East Aqua to see things that specialized for planted aquarium which normal local fish shop didn’t sell.

Anyway, here are my shopping list for today, which consist of

  • 10kg pack of Science Plan cat food. Was thingking of getting Royal Canin as Marts is giving his Cik Tot. Alimin in Penang also gives Royal Canin to his cats. But the 10kg pack for Indoor 27 is out of stock.
  • Small pack of Royal Canin Indoor 27. I guess it’s a good thing also that the 10kg pack is out of stock. I should test this food first with my cats, of whether they like it or not
  • Heavy duty pet wipes. Going to use this to wipe Oyen’s ass – it’s so dirty (don’t dare to take photo of Oyen’s ass and post it here. Hehehehe)
  • Chubby Cologne Spray. Going to spray this on my cats and they will have pleasent smell when I hug them
  • Kleen Kat Litter Tray Deodorant. Well, I like to try new things. Just experimenting on whether this thing can get rid of litter tray odour, especially during the time then litter is almost reaching the replacement time
  • Odour free pet deodorizer. Just experimenting again. My sofa smells cat already.
  • Lastly, Cat’s Choice cat litter. . The Pet Safari has about 20 different brands of cat litter. I like! I like! I keep trying different brand every time, and figure out which one is the best

Hhhhmm. Maybe my other cats are wondering why Oyen is always the model of the new things that I buy? Well, it’s white kitten’s turn this time (doh! I still can’t find a good name for this kitten)

Oh. The cashier gave me this sample Puruna Pro Plan cat food for adult cat and kitten. Thanks. I can test this with my cats also whether they like it or not. See the white kitten. He’s sniffing the food inside the container already

Busy! Busy! Busy! + Office PC desktop

Here it goes again, me not updating the blog for quite long time, and is still for the same reason. Busy! Busy! Busy! I still have 2 1/2 days leave from last year to clear. So that means, I haven’t touch my 17 days leave for this year yet. Yippe!

Due to my friends birthday celebration in Penang, I just decided to take the leave, starting from 1/2 day leave last week’s Thursday, and full day last for the last week’s Friday and last Monday, where suddenly I got a call from my boss, telling my big boss who is in Prague for conference looking for me.

Isk. It always like this. When I’m in office, no one really needs me. But when I’m on sick leave, emergency leave or annual leave, then thousands of people started to look for me. So what my big boss said. She ask me to call her tomorrow for a conference call, as she has something important to say. Darn!

But praise to my boss, as she said that, no need to call, and she will be in the call instead. And this is my boss’s SMS to my bigboss.

Thanks Jenny :D Oh well, the next day got another SMS from my boss of another future training to attend.

Let me worry that when I’m back to office – this is what I said when I was on holiday last week.

Here is the desktop of my office’s PC. Nothing much on my desktop except for

  • Winamp that I use to listen to Kaskus Online Radio
  • Google Desktop Sidebar – I’m using To Do list feature the most, where this is tied to my Google Account. Meaning, when I listen to a nice song on Kaskus Radio, I will jot down the title of the song here, and since it is tied to my Google account, the sidebar at my home PC will update this list as well.
  • Pocket Controller that I use to control my O2 Mini from my PC

Been receiving a lot of SMS from bigboss lately as she’s hard to get email access. So, I use this Pocket Controller software where I can control my O2 Mini remotely, and typing SMS using PC keyboard rather than using sylus tapping on the onscreen keyboard on the display.

But the thing is, the mobile phone that I consider to be a personal thing has now being used to discuss work related matter – which means they can talk about work with my anytime, anywhere. I’m scared!

Had a conference call with my bigboss this morning (together with my boss). Geez. She’s quite upset that she can’t talk to me last week. But my boss keep telling, don’t mind her as she’s a bit stress.

Anyway, the training in Bulgaria is on. Great. Another short notice again. So many things to prepare – hotel booking, flight ticket booking, travel requisition, booking notebook etc. And futhermore there will be 2 days public holiday next week.

Actually, I’ve been planning to go back to my hometown for so long. My initial plan is to take leave on Monday, Thursday and Friday next week so that I’m on leave for the whole week next week. Told my mum already that I will be back to hometown next week. But with this training, I can’t afford to take leave next week then. Too many things to arrange.

Kinda scared to call my mum now to let her know that I can’t go back home. I’m scared of dissapointing her!

Fighting ant problem

Lately, it seems that my house has been infested by ants. It started with a few, but now, they are in a big size now.

I guess they have set up a colony at the roof of my house since when I follow the trail, the trail ends up going into the ceiling of my house, to the roof top.

They causes a lot of trouble. If I give food for my cat, the uneaten one got covered with thousands of ants pretty quick, which it usually ended up being thrown into the dustbin since my cats didn’t want to eat food with ants in anymore.

To make it worse, it even near any water source. Each time I want to take out hot water from my kettle, I have to let the nozzle flow through the hot water for several seconds as there are lots of ants in it.

This is just the time that I have to do something with this. So, went to Ace Hardware after work, I got this Terro Liquid Ant Killer.

How to use this? It is quite simple. Just tear the piece of cupboard from the carton, put a few drops on, and place the cupboard where the ants are.

How this works? This is something from the box:

First ants will come in large numbers, but soon disappear. This product is specifically formulated to allow worker ants to consume the product and survive long enough to carry the liquid back to the nest and deliver a dose to the rest of the colony.

But what about my cats? What if they accidently eat the liquid (my cats are known for climbing up high places and will found the cupboard with the liquid that I place on the rack in the kitchen)

TERRO® Liquid Ant Bait is a sweet food based product similar to pancake syrup combined with Borax. Borax is a mineral that is mined in the desert in California and is a common active ingredient that is used in soap products such as 20 Mule Team Borax.

The product kills ants but will not harm people or pets. If you spill some on your skin there will be no reaction at all. Simply wash with warm water.

Pets occasionally find the Terro and eat it. Our advice when this happens is to do nothing at all. The product is not toxic enough to cause a problem and the pet will be just fine.

Good! That sounds promising, and I should not worry about it then.
