19 Lintang Maternity 4...

It was a dark and bizarre night... the moon was round, rather large and in a longkang-water colour. Rather creepy looking... It was 10.20 pm and 3 CUSian we sitting outside the library slurping Seven-Eleven Slurpees. They didn't talk very much... each being too engrossed with what was in their hands... a cupful of thirst quenching fine ice. Even the spoon-shaped straws did not fail to amuse them. One of them suggested that every CUSian should buy at least one cup of RM1 Slurpee and then keep the plastic cup. It could be used for future CUS functions...

Every morning for the last one week, at about 8.50 am, just when I'm ready to head into campus for training, I will be 'greeted' by my house cat at the front door. In cat lingo, "Good morning" is "Eeeowrhrhr! Eeeowrhrhr!" It also means, "I'm hungry... I'm hungry... feed me!" I quickly head back into the house, grab the box of cat food and pour her a heap.

I can't help but notice that her tummy has grown very big. No, not because of the cat food but, obviously, she has been up to something with the neighbour's tom cat. I can't believe our house cat is having an affair with that... that... Since this is Holy Week, I shall keep my writings censored. Anyhow, her bubbly tummy has affected her movements quite a bit. Now, she can't jump from the floor and up to the window sill anymore. This makes it easier for me to catch her and keep her out of the house... before she makes a maternity ward out of one of our rooms.

Oh! By the way, my housemates call her 'Xiao Mao' or 'Little Cat'. I call her, if I ever call her, 'Giddee Gat'... a 'swollow-my-words' version of 'Kitty Cat'. Her mum is also a cat... but due to cross-breeding, Giddee Gat does not have the long and fluffy fur that her mother has. Maybe, when I see a huge furball in the litter of kittens later on, I'll know where it got its genes from. Would anyone like a kitten for company next semester? Yes? No?

Well, it's getting late... I've got to call it a night. Until then, "Good night" and "Sweet Dreams". God bless you.

Beeowrhrhr....
