God created them for a purposes.. think he is simply too friendly.. wagging his tail at everybody.. running over to greet them.. haa

Kataning sunday - huggy teeth..

Last sunday, went on a road trip to kataning.. part of a christian ministry to the Burmese people.. who are here in Australia as a refugee.. took nealry 3 hrs to reach the destination.. 100 plus people attended the sunday service.. it was held at "Lion park" in Kataning.. we have to set up the place... with flag.. chairs.. musical instrument.. mat.. etc.. started with a short prayer.. followed by the usual singing + worship session.. thenafter.. went over to help out for the children ministry.. used some Puppets to tell them story about Jesus.. Kids age ranges from as young as 2 ~ 12 yrs old.. overall pretty well behaved.. although there are alway some "monkeys" around.. before the service comes to an end.. the burmese children performed.. by singing their Burmese songs.. fun and enjoyable day... interacting with the ppl.. songs and worship.. food was yummy too.. lots of spicy stuff.. caused it's Spring now.. lotsa flies buzzing around.. some were busy swapping away the flies.. nice group of ppl..
On monday.. while i was playing with huggy.. "Fetch".. by accident.. when i tried to pull out the toy from his mouth.. one of his teeth came flying out.. initially.. realised his gum was bleeding only when i saw some blood stain on his toy.. at first.. thought it was those stones he was grinding on that caused his gum to bleed.. who know.. while i picked and cleared all the stones on the floor.. realised that there was a tooth on the floor.. mix n match.. concluded that it was from huggy mouth.. pry opened it.. haa.. realised it was one of his milk teeth.. anyway.. took some picture for him.. silly huggy.. did not know that he has just lost one of his milk teeth.. did some research.. all dog have 2 sets of teeth..
Milk teeth.. (kept it) Bleeding..
Admiring his own teeth..

* The
temporary puppy tooth should fall out before the adult tooth grows back in its place. If the puppy tooth does not fall out first and is still in place when the adult tooth begins to come through, it is called a retained deciduous tooth.

Amplifier Bar.. King park.. willow.. burmese.. video (jesus loves me)..

Every week passes by so fast..in an blink of an eye... holiday is coming.. exam are coming.. n christmas is round the corner..

Friday.. Noon time.. bought huggy out to king park for a walk.. his first time..going up hill.. while walking around.. a bird came swooping down.. trying to bite his tail off.. silly hug of mine.. dont even know what's happening.. think he was curious.. how come there's something.. kept flying down and pecking at his tail.. in actual fact..that birdy was trying to protect it nest.. one of the passerby told me.. as it was the breeding season.. perhape there's a nest somewhere.. amongst the trees.. purpose is to protect it nest from being invaded..
Went out with some colleague to Amplifier Bar.. as a support for her son.. Voyager band.. metallic rock music.. nearly pump our heart out.. not surprise.. that the group of ppl all look alike.. long hair.. *esp guy.. swinging their head.. round and round.. knocking their head vigourously.. was worrying that they might shake their head out.. but.. overall.. nice experience.. Had dinner at this Vietnamese restaurant.. read the review.. thought that it was suppose to hv a nice ambient.. as the review said that the food was good..worth trying.. mmh.. however.. the environment was not what i had expected.. so..moral is.. food = average.. (think TOTO @ vic park is better).. ambient = felt like coffee shop.. haa

Sat.. Had breaky @ willow pond.. took a pic of this doggy.. called "XXX".. it seems so small..although she is already 3 years old.. old dog.. small breed.. compare to my dog.. haa.. a coconut tree to a banana tree..
She's burying her head into the ground.. * was told that she was eating fish food on the ground..
Watched this movie called "Cadilla Record".. about how rock n roll first started... overall.. 3.5/5 star.. rented caused "D" might like it..haa.. coz its about music..

Sunday - Attended sunday service in a Burmese church called "ABCS - Australian Burmese Christian Service/Society".. nice and friendly ppl.. Pastor dawson sermon was interesting... had curry lunch.. at the church.. chatting with ppl from Africa.. Burmese.. German.. Indian.. Taiwan.. their worship is kind of similar to a Presbyterian church.. for instance.. end of service.. three fold of Amen..
Given a short lesson of how to ride a bike... thinking.. to get one..haa..if only i got the licence.. 125 ~ 250 CC is good enough.. not to big.. nor too small.. will get there some day.. in Australia.. not that hard to get a licence.. so long.. u gt ur P plate ready.. someone who had their licence for 4 years or more.. able to teach you.. once ready..book for your test date.. that simple as ABC. just to find the right time.. n right place..

Took a short video of my resident at work.. singing "Jesus Loves me".. haa.. trick her into singing.. she has dementia.. so most probably..will not rmb what she just did a min ago.. surprisingly.. although they might forget about everything in this world.. but.. they will never forget Jesus.. that's something to ponder about.. "Nice"..

Kindly turn off the "Main music" in order to hear Agnes singing..

It was like a pot luck.. where each of us got to bring some stuff.... had some food.. bought a cake.. met some nice friends.. dance.. etc... enjoyable..


Fri --> DIY (Drew-It-Yourself) dinner.. "Ice berg lettuce + Honey overbaked chicken + tomatoes cum bacon n cheese + sweet mascot wine + strawberry fondue".. overall.. taste good.. although it was indeed a ICE berg (Freezer) lettuce.. taste crushy.. importantly..is the effort n thought that count..


Sat --> Went suntanning at Scarbrough beach.. Perth weather was 37DegC.. unbelievable hot.. but.. nice weather.. had nice sandwiches.. plus cooling granita.. rested..n went to work..
--> Had a busy night.. was suppose to knock off at 8pm.. due to one of the resident aircon fuse got burnt off.. which trigger the fire alarm system.. fireman came.. residents got frighten.. scared.. some confused..n some simply dont bother (cool as a cucumber).. as thou the fire alarm didnt rang at all.. funny.. tried to get the resident settled down.. assisted them to the dinning room.. all seated in one spot.. hence we can know that all resident are safe... tried to calm them down.. saying everything is all right.. n fine... however.. One resident.. vomitted on her bed.. clothes.. n floor.. even the cupboard was stained with vomit.. got to clean up.. she was a heavy lady.. weighs 98kg.. she said she felt sick.. n vomitted all over.. told her to be cooperatives.. so I can help to clean her up.. took me nearly 30mins.. to get her nice.. good.. n ready for bed.. cant believe u can perspire so much.. within 30mins.. think lack of exercise.. shld start doing something.. haa..

Sunday --> completed another report.. care plan.. waiting to be proof read.. Went to work.. one resident fell.. found him seated on the floor.. as he has dementia.. hence does not rmb what had happened... his kind of funny.. cute.. adorable but yet mischievous at times.. got another carer to hoist him up together.. gt a cup of tea for him.. to calm him down.. just right before knocking off for work.. found the same resident.. covered with faeces.. on his hand.. pampers.. bed.. got to change his bed.. pamper.. clean him up.. ended up.. gt off work at 930pm.. mmh.. yet another day.. but.. fulfilling.. cause manage to settle all the resident.. in place..

As told by one of our lecturer.. as a nurse.. it is a norm for nurses to work OT.... (dependent you gt paid or not).. however.. so long you do your best.. get everything done.. even if you gt to change the resident at the last minutes before you knock off work.. as long as you know that you have done the needful.. no regret.. duty of care is the utmost important thing.. Agreed ...

Updating.. Shelly bridge.. banana bread..

Just a random updates..

Bought huggy for his first obedience class last wed.. he was so happy.. trying to socialise and sniffing at other doggy.. some dog are really small.. whereas some are really huge..about 15 ppl attended the classes.. as it was our first time.. therefore.. huggy and me.. plus another lady got to learn the basic of walking our dog on the lead.. using polony as a treat for him.. leading him around with lead on our right hand.. treats on our left hand.. as dog are suppose to be walking on our left hand side.. walk and stop.. asking doggy to sit when we stop.. using a click provided by the trainer.. the trainer said.. when we are walking the dog.. we should be the lead.. not the other way round.. and.. we must teach the dog that it is time for working.. not playing around.. hence he is not suppose to sniff around while walking.. no distraction.. lasted for about an hour plus.. tiring but enjoyable.. got to keep training him.. daily (if i got the time)..

Brought huggy for a run at Shelly bridge ytd.. haa.. seeing him..running around.. sniffing flower.. eating mud..n rubbish.. putting his nose into everything.. tired him out.. sometimes.. having a dog.. can b both a blessing and a haste.. there are times where he can really make you go fumming mad.. at times.. his so adorable.. thinking back..he is only a dog.. how much can we demand from him..
