you will be missed..

When I left Malaysia in February 2006, I said to my black cat Tum-tum, 'Bye Tum-tum. Jangan nakal-nakal (don't be naughty). Make sure you'll still be here when I get back!'

I haven't got a chance to go back to Malaysia since then. And Daddy gave me the sad news yesterday that Tum-tum had died on Sunday, 1st of April 2007. He died far away from home as all cats do as they do not want their masters to feel sorrow. But dad found him near a vacant house a few rows of houses away from our home. Dad took him home and buried him in the front garden. They garden he used to play in.

We had him in the family for 6 years. But he was a special cat and we loved him to bits. He was a funny cat too. Terribly scared of house flies and running under the table during thunderstorms.

Tum-tum was a black cat with not an inch of white on him. When many people absolutely despised black cats, I loved him for all that he was. And I am really, really going to miss him...

Rest in peace my dear Tum-tum..

p/s- to close friends and family members who are reading this, please do not mention anything about this to my sister Reena. She is now in National Service training. The news would devastate her and I don't want her to be feeling sad while she's there. Thanks.

Sob sob... so sad... I pun sedih gak whenever I remember the day one of our cats named Combi died (the cute gray one, and it was still young, too). Combi just died in its sleep..... So even though I don't show my love to the cats at my house except to feed them, it's still sad when you think of them. So i know how you feel...
