Supermarket or Amusement Park?

Nowadays when you go to a supermarket especially in the heartland in the evenings or on a weekend you wonder if the management has also turned it partly into an amusement centre by allowing (tacit I suppose) parents to put their brats into the trolleys to humour them and pushing them around the supermarket...some parents even put 3 kids into the trolley...definitely not shopping but abusing the sole purpose of a trolley!! and some are not young kids...in some instances as old as 10 - 11 years...hello they got no legs to walk meh? Sometimes you hear a brat yelling to be quickly put into the trolley and in the process obstructing other shoppers who want to take out a trolley from the rack. I wonder if such parents (educated?? no??) understand social etiquette...I don't think so, otherwise they will not be so socially irresponsible...and causing inconvenience to shoppers!! Bo naou !!
I also blame the management for not taking any action (equal condone??) thus this is becoming a prevailing and growing practice of putting a child in a supermarket trolley...pushed around for a joy ride and turning the place into an amusement centre!! I dread going to a supermarket during evenings and weekends.

My Neutered Dog

My doggie got neutered 6 weeks back...a decision which was not easy to come by. I wanted her to have a natural life but she being such an ignorant, gullible and happy go lucky kiddie I have my doubts if she knew how to take care of herself and she is also in the "hiao" phase of her life. It was a friend's comment that since I always send her to the pet farm to stay the likelihood of her being raped is very high and then poor me will have a handful of unwanted illegitimate litter of unknown parentage...pariah? Rugilah! Also after childbirth she will look ugly...saggy stomach etc.. This caused me to have a nightmare. Gosh what am I to do if such were to happen and I just can't abandon those kids on the street (I won't have the heart to do so). Anyway AVA is very strict on this...rotan for the culprit???
It was a very painful experience for her and my heart went out to her. She endured 3 days of pain after the operation and didn't want to take the painkiller tablets to ease her pain nor her food...lying down in a corner quietly and giving me that mournful look every now and then...so, so pathetic lah..try to make me feel guilty for having caused her distress and pain...HELLO?? Worst and more humiliating was that she had to wear a "lampshade" over her head (looks like a monster out of space!!!) to prevent her from licking or biting off the stitches... for a week..as required by the vet but by the third day I have taken it off during the day but made her wear it at night...out of pity.
Within a week she was back to her normal devilish self although part of her tummy area was totally BOTAK!! Looks cute!
Today, maybe because she has been neutered she is more subdued and barking less (hurray!! more peace and quiet) but she is eating more...a voracious appetite and always seems to be hungry and getting fatter...a doctor friend said she is monopausing...alamak!!..at least no more PMSes!!! No wonder she barked so much and threw tantrums in the past... some pompous halal neighbours called SPCA and AVA to complain...they should understand that my doggie is a bitch what...anyway which dog don't bark?? A halal dog?
One good thing is that the price of the dog licence fee dropped from $70 a year to $14 a year...wah make money...huat ah!!!
