Precious Living

A few months ago, I caught up with SuYin whom I haven’t seen since we were seventeen! We had dinner together at Cafe Cartel where we binged on fresh bread and other foods. Click to read the blog post and see the photos that we took. (In one of the photo, my bum looked like it was smoking, I assure you it is just a dirty mirror!!!)

The dinner was lovely but there was too little time to catch up. Su Yin invited me to write six random things about me. I thought I’ll briefly share this one experience I had three years ago.

A few years ago, I went trekking at Maliau Basin in Sabah. It was a life-changing experience.

Back then, Maliau was the last remaining virgin rainforest in Borneo. Every fallen tree trunk was covered with rich, velvety and soft moss. The animals were curious, cautious but unafraid of us so they came out to view us. The dark green jungle was filled with orchids, birds, insects, snakes, orang utans, and much much more. I felt wealthy beyond measure, the forest is endlessly abundant. Until today, I still love all life forms. I am not one of those who prefer dogs over cats or cats over dogs because I feel that every animal is an incomparable treasure.

My new Dutch Shepherd Dog, Charise, arrived from the Philippines on Friday. I don’t have any recent photo of her, here is one taken by her trainer when she was two months younger. Look at her, so eager.

And a video, also by her trainer. The girl can run!

She is so precious.
