LEAVING YESTERDAY

There are some things in life we have no control over, and that's what destiny is.

Marley And Me

Marley's Day


watched the film Marley and me.. as the ending draws, tears rolled down my eyes.. Marley died.. perhaps its due to the fact that i really loved dogs.. i used to be a dog trainer in my NS days.. i had my own dog.. well..i could totally understand the movie and how the dog will respond.. i really wish i could have a dog in the future..


During my army days, one of my dogs passed away too.. it died due to serious injury.. well.. i was in wrong.. he got injured and i wasnt there to take care of him.. his name was Max.. hes a german shepherd and hes just like Marley, over enthusiastic.. when i first got him, i wasnt really pleased with him.. he would jump up to me everytime i enter his kennel.. but now.. i miss that.. i miss his licks on my face and his hugs up to me.. well.. i really feel sad when the vet says he have to go.. i spent 1 year with him and i really enjoyed those days with him.. but hes gone.. i wont get to see him again.. i could still remember that day when i saw him being carried into the operation room.. well.. all i can do now is really hope for the best of him.. im sorry, Max, i wasnt there when you needed me..


My second dog was dearer to me.. Her name was Crystal.. i really adored her.. she was a Cocker Spaniel.. small size.. 15kg.. i loved her a lot.. and i know she loved me too.. everynight before i sleep, i would just go to her kennel and look at her.. every moment that i spend in her kennel was memorable.. shes very timid.. when i brought her out for work, she would get frightened by even the sparks of a lighter.. everytime she gets afraid, she would curl behind me.. i miss her.. everytime i enter her kennel and sit down, she will just come to me and crawl into my lap.. when i get close enough she would jump up and try to lick my lips.. man, i really missed her..


during nights that i cant sleep, i would go down to her kennel and talk to her.. shes a nice listener.. she would just look at you with those innocent eyes.. i loved those days when i played fetch with her.. i would toss the tennis ball so far, and she will fetch it back to me.. unlike other dogs, she knows the limit.. after a few toss, she would quietly come back to me and sit beside me.. i think if theres someone in this world that understands me, its Crystal.. when i ORD, she was merely 2 years old.. well.. shes around 4 now.. i hope i can faster get my reservice letter so that i can see her again..


still remember those days when i shared my lunch with her during outdoor operations.. she doesnt like veggies.. still remembered that time when we were doing NDP security sweep, it was from 5am to 10pm.. i couldnt bear to see her go hungry, so i gave my dinner to her.. when i saw her eatting it, i felt so happy.. i could still remember that dinner was chicken cutlet.. she finished everything.. well.. i didnt regret it.. she was the one that i would certainly sacrifice a lot for.. one day i will have her picture and post it here..


in the ending of the movie, i could really feel what that guy was feeling..hes should be much more worse den mine.. he said: " A dog has no use for fancy cars,big homes or designer clothes; a waterlog stick will do just as fine. a dog wont care if you are rich or poor, clever or dumb. just give him your heart and he will give you his." i totally agree to this.. someday, things have to part. ending is part of life.. im looking forward for the time when i can have my dog. i wish that day could come earlier..
