Aliciaks to the Rescue!

I've always wanted to save sad dogs in the street but at the same time I'm scared to touch them especially if they are big dogs. Another problem is, how am I going to bring the dog back and who do I give them away to? 

After all I'm not living in an animal shelter and I'm not even active and have never visited the SSPCA in Kuching yet... I just feel sad to see unhappy dogs that are in bad condition and I have always wanted to "Do Something!" but didn't have the courage to do so because I'm afraid to see anything suffering. I'll have trauma...

Today, it's my first attempt to rescue a puppy with his body full of skin disease. Of course I dragged my sister who is in town now. Muahaha I don't know what's the condition now but will send him to the vet tomorrow for treatment.

For now, I'm also trying to find a suitable owner who wants a new male puppy. :)

Cultural Connected

Being a half native (Bidayuh) and brought up in a very Chinese environment, this is the first year I started to appreciate my mum's culture. I suspect it's the influence of engagement with communities in my work. I'm inspired of their spirits to keep their culture alive and trying to manage their daily activities in a sustainable manner to conserve their 'home'. Looking out for their own people and being buyers when it comes to their own tribes. It's not a bad thing at all because it's just human nature to prioritize our own family.

For the past 29 years, I do not know anyone from my mum's village besides my uncles, aunties & first cousins. I met 2 strong members of the JKKK-Duyoh who are working on eco-tourism in Bau area in one of the workshop i attended for work. It hit me hard on why am I not doing anything for my mum's village and the people because we're all connected in a way or another. I'm glad to be somewhat part of it contributing whenever I can before it's not too late. I feel blessed and appreciate the journey of my life that brings bright lights from time to time.

Anyway, when I was stranded in KL over Harvest Festival because there were no seats for the flights, I suggested for  a little BBQ party at my brother's house in Puchong. Surprisingly everyone was excited and we threw a great siblings gathering with some friends from KL.
