All About You

Don't know if I should be thankful for the pile of assignments that have made me so occupied that I barely have any time to grieve over the little one. My mind has been filled with what have I left to do, what have I not done, what's due next, when are we meeting for a project, why does it just keep piling up. But there's always that part where I'm walking, on my way home, wondering how's she doing, somehow still wishing that I would return home to her welcoming me. It's really not easy, I do not really know when I'll ever stop missing her, but here's a list of what she always does.. b'cuz I have a horrible memory, I wanna jot it down.

Bathing wasn't your favourite to do, you would always try to hide in a corner and whenever you heard the word "pompom" you would try to bite us whenever we want to carry you out. Everytime you enter the bathroom, you would start shivering and shaking very badly. You always refused to lie down to dry your belly. And when bath time's over, you go crazy and start scurrying around and then you would eagerly wait for your favourite treat, the long brown teeth-cleaning treat.

When you were little, we always had newspaper on the floor whenever you eat as you were a messy eater. Whenever you dislike the food, you would try to flip the newspaper, hoping that somehow you could flip the bowl but never once succeeded. All you did was push it to the end of the kitchen. Up till today, you would still try to flip the bowl, even when there isn't any newspaper, which always looked like you're praying before you're eating.

You would always scratch the floor or cushion or bed to find a suitable sleeping position.

At random times, you would start playing with your toys on your own and have your own fun.

You snored quite a lot and sometimes, we wonder if you were a girl. Sometimes you would even sleep with all your legs up in the air.

Every time after we carried you, you would shake it off. Who's the smelly one, Crystal. You had your own distinctive smell that stayed on most of our clothes, that I really miss.

You have a bad habit of scratching your ear with your toes then licking your toes, and you do it taking your own sweet time, it's really gross but the way you do it makes it really cute, especially when you're fluffy b'cuz you look like a ball.

You look extra cute whenever you lie on the floor and start flipping your ears and I love to disturb you by blowing into your ear holes.

Sometimes, you would lie down on your side and try to get your bone which is a distance away by scratching just b'cuz you're lazy and want to play.

You used to respond whenever I blow your fur, but recently you just couldn't be bothered with me anymore.

There was a period when I just started working again and you would always wait outside my bedroom door, probably thinking that I was still snoozing and I would come home finding you sleeping outside my bedroom door.

Every morning, whenever I step out of the shower, you would be waiting outside the kitchen door all ready for breakfast.

In the recent years, you would go to bed earlier than my parents. You would walk to the master bedroom and bark, telling us it was your bedtime even when we were still watching teevee in the living room.

Whenever you don't get your way, especially with food or your toys, you would always sneeze a few times before you start barking.

Whenever we sit at the living room to eat, you would always try to squeeze your way around and find a spot to ask for food. At the dining table, you would wait under the table and made sure we had a clear view of you, hoping to get food. And if we don't give you any, the barking starts.

You were a really good stairs climber, probably from all that practice from 16 Parry Road.

Even when you were really sick, you still made it a point to walk to the back of the kitchen to do your businesses.

Food that you love:
- Egg yolk
- Apples
- Cabbages
- Pork
- Chicken
- Pear
- Fresh bread

You lived a long life probably cuz you were a veggie and fruit lover and you were a very picky eater too.

Love you, little one.
