Roxy Girl

Roxy is officially 1 years old today This is the naughty girl jumping up the leather couch to try out the feeling of how we sitting on it like. Just trying her luck i guess with a careful look of us coming to “shooh” her down, always active and alert girl!

I still remember the first day we brought her back, she was so small, barely 1 month old! and so cute, but poor thing she cried for mommy! But no worries, we always assure her that we will love her and have a good home for her and indeed she has. After the monthly shots to the Vet, teething problem, those puppy stages / problems are much lesser, though sometimes hormone changes or short memory of just plain stubbornness, made her repeat her same mistakes, but all comes with consequences.

This photo shows how small she is, look at her ears and mouth so short!

We started off with this

But more came along as she grows, the brush was certainly insufficient and dutch lady milk was certainly not right. She just had that for that night, and we change her to solid food the next day. I remember browsing through the internet for name for her and half way she was howling in the kitchen looking for mommy. Such a poor thing. Siberian Huskies are packed dogs, they move in packs and they always try to be pack leaders. So suddenly being taken away from her siblings and mommy’s nursing has really made her scared and crying all nite long. I even had a video of it.

Face marking and white tip tail are important traits of Sibes

Bump to sleep right away when she's too tired!

Wakes up blur-blur with her distinct look

Her first solid food meal, so hard to chew =)

L.O.V.E her soft paws

Daddy carries me!

One month old, but the collar was still loose

Annoying bell!

The Art of Rollover in dreams!

Fur was not that long, air-cond makes me shiver, so mommy covers me with blankie

But i ended up in the laundry basket!

Tug a war when young

Wanna plaaayyy...?

Manja girl!

Big girl already, but still a manja girl!

Happy Birthday Roxy bunny!

After a year of experience bring Roxy up, i would conclude that Siberian Huskies are very smart and intelligent dogs, the know how to listen to human beings communication!!! haha so beware! if you plan to have one! In whatever circumstances, patience is very important specially in training and correcting. But after all the hardwork, the result is gratifying with a big small of satisfaction!

Turkish Airlines crash near Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam about a week ago. It is such a big news after the 9-11 incident. Turkish -> Europe, some may have thought it is some sort of terrorist again? And my boyfriend was in Netherlands at that time and he was about 45mins away from Amsterdam, was worried if it will effect some flight delay during the weekend when he is suppose to catch a flight back home.

Plane breaks into 3 pieces!

Isn’t it scary? Imagine if you were in the flight! I’m sure its all panicky, and screaming aloud, but I think prior to that I would have say my prayers quietly in my heart. Thinking back I always do that, during both take off and landing. Specially with budget airlines when things are not that stable, it always feels better after a prayer is whispered. (Haha, cos sometimes it feels like a roller-coster ride – minus the screaming )

Due to the time difference, it was on the newspaper frontpage on Thursday morning, only then i got to know about it. Malaysia time about 4pm only, Jack came online and got to know from him that they already knew it on Wednesday itself, as it happens NL time about 10-11am. And on Thursday morning, I was teasing one of colleague who will be departing for ICANN, Mexico on Friday nite, via KLM transit in Amsterdam, Schiphol and the crash just happened! haha…freaky

Burnt Jet Engine

Me with a shiny KLM Jet Engine

2.5 months ago I was at the Schiphol, Amsterdam airport too, so I could imagine the fear I would have got if this recent case just happened! In the Turkish Airline crash, if I am not mistaken none of the Cabin Crew survived, not even the pilot or co-pilot. I guess they thought everything is going to be just fine as any other day, part and parcel of their daily job, but who would have thought? “Cabin Crew, please be seated, we are preparing for landing” That’s what the Pilot/co-pilot would announce about 15mins prior to the landing. As announced today, after the Dutch investigation, “Found that faulty altimeter caused the plane’s autopilot to shut down the engines as it made its approach to land. The Boeing 737-800 crashed a kilometre short of the runway, killing nine people on board. The plane’s black box showed that the altimeter also malfunctioned during two previous landings.” (Reports extracted from “www.dw-world.de”)

So afterall, I have decided it is not a safe dream job!
