Rm5 lunch plan!

Its my second week of recovering my wallet. Oh! Or maybe i should say, saving money for Snowie's future diet!

Snowie was suppose to go raw after a few months - a year. That was my plan. But plan always change. Due to the calcium oxalate crystals found in her urine ive decided not to take the S/O and go for raw diet.

It's going to be in two weeks time. Glad i found a wholesaler of cheaper meat.

But still.. i can't spend so much anymore. She's on prilium the heart liquid medicine and many other supplements.

Im trying to find the best way to save money. I notice the most we spend is on food, coffee.. so my plan is to find lunch with budget not more than rm5.

Going to mall is the most suffering to me. I'd tell my sister 'you know? At this second I'm suppose to be holding a cappuccino ice from pacific coffee? '

Yes it's tough! Most of my meals are instant noodle ( I'm addicted) . Yesterday i manage to find one rm2.50 lunch from street side. And man! I suffer the stomach ache in the mid night. Sucks!

My sis and i both agreed, that we'll only go for one good meal with no budget, once in a month. Sounds great! We've already enjoyed our March great meal. I can't wait for April to come!

Right now the only thing i fear most is ppl would invite me out for a drink. My job ain't stable YET! Can't wait for more job to pour in then probably i can enjoy 2 great meal in a month :p

Baby Boo the amigurumi | Orange

 been searching for the next amigurumi to begin with. dragon still abit too hard for me. then i found this free pattern from craftsy forum. here's the pattern.

it's a pattern of monokuro boo. this orange one i make is a baby boo, another creation from the same person. the name is orange.

thanks to the forumer on craftsy, the pattern is very clear and easy to follow. it all started with a square crochet. then all the way down.

  

 

this boo baby is crochet in a continuous round. when i first make amigurumi i always lose track. so this time i place a marker. so much better. mark each round so you won't lose track ;)

 

the leg is seriously hard for me. but if you check the forum there is an explanation. but it takes really long time to understand it. i kept re-read the pattern and checking the forum. end up i manage to do it.

 

there goes my 4 legs. im pretty sure there is something wrong with it. i only notice that when i make it stand. but too late to fix as i already stuff the fillings.  

 

yarns are from daiso so as the stuffing. 

this is the stage where u have to start fill up the body with polyester stuffing ;) 

 

another plastic surgery hahah.. fix the feature in position and then start seaming them together. it feels weird still hahah 

 

So now Mr Murasaki have a new friend. baby boo ;)

two foster cases| dachshund and a cocker spaniel spitz mix

 i don't rescue or foster anymore. but people think of me when they found dogs. i can't help saying no sometimes. especially the lost dogs.

First it was my sister's friend. and she wants to take it. it's a cocker spaniel spitz mix. whatever! since it's my sister, i helped for that one. deal is she need to bear all the food and medical fee for the dog until owner is found.

the dog's name is Rover, we found the owner in one day time ;) He actually ran from SS19 to USJ2. % of dying in an accident is 90%. there is a busy road he have to cross from ss19 to usj2. Rover is only 2 years old. i guess he's really smart not being hit by one of the car. but looking at his wound, im sure he had fights with other dogs(he's not neuter). he have cuts on the eye, legs, and few more area of the body.

he is also dirty. not sure where he got it but he's been running in the rain sometimes. the second morning i cant stand his black stain and gave him a shower. He's okay for a shower and im glad. but the stain couldn't come off. well at least he's clean to touch now. He's tame but still have the habit of snapping sometimes. He'll bark really loud for attention. he won't allow me to walk Clover. i can hear his bark from near end of the street.


The owner came to collect him at night. we suggest she should neuter the dog already. clearly Rover ran away because there's stray around on heat.

CASE 2: Shorty! february 16 - 17

The second case i encounter is a friend living near by message me on facebook but i was playing game so didn't notice. next thing i know (im still playing game) is someone ring the bell and look for me. He say the dog was found wandering around usj as well. look very lost. so he took her but he doesn't have a place for her. wonder if i can keep it or he will have to send to PAWS. i don't know what to do. i don't feel taking any dog in anymore. but if a lost dog goes to paws, she might not find it's way back home anymore.

I took in. in condition that he have to cover her food and medical bill. well, food didn't turn up but im lucky that i have extra food samples. She didn't wanna eat anyway.

During the evening i try to walk the dog around to see if anyone lost their dachshund. there is not many people who rear a dachshund in the neighbourhood. i let the dog lead me but she herself couldn't find her way home. She is the shortest dog i've walk with in my life. i've never experience that before. pretty cool!

In facebook there's a person who claim that that is her dog. im not so sure. but one thing im sure is if this dog really lost her owner we wont have to worry there is no owner for her. early morning i've already receive a message asking for adoption.

I was so down because her condition is not that good. Her fur shed all around. very obvious that she have skin disease. I showered her in the afternoon. She shed so easily. when i try to pull off a dry skin on her skin the fur just came off. like cancer. =.=

same thing about this two case is i receive call when i shower them :] apparently this dog belong to a rich family but was placed outdoor. i guess that's why she have ticks and bad skin.

Owner came to collect around evening with some gift of appreciation - chicken essence and ang pao.
They seems very worry. dog's name is Dipo, she's an old dog and ran away when the cleaner came and opened the gate, the cleaner didn't notice they have a dog. that's normal. because we hardly see this fellar at home. for her safety we have to put her in the playpen so that our cars wont hit her. she's too short to be notice. Owner also said she doesn't know the way home.

 

the first female lost dog i foster

so that's the end of case 2. i really really hope people don't bring me anymore dogs. i won't be so lucky next time.

The amigurumi troubles~ Birth of Mr. Murasaki from amigurumiMEI

been trying to crochet the easiest amigurumi. oh dear, i think im not the amigurumi type of person. im better off with crocheting clothes for dogs. the two plush i made is ugly.

my first try is the Turtle:

sometimes i cant even tell it's a turtle. LoL this is the simplest project so far but turns out to be the ugliest. oops! im gonna keep it anyway.

next one is something slightly different. it's a pattern i found online by amigurumiMEI. Mr Murusaki the owl.

the owl is way more organize than the turtle. but it's not nice too. sigh.. gonna try making something next. practice makes perfect!!

for pattern please visit Owl Amigurumi - Mr Murasaki tutorial

gonna buy more yarn from Daiso to make all these amigurumi. hope i'll make one that i will love someday. and hopefully i can make one Chopper-chan!!! <3 p="">
