9 years pet found - 1,200 miles away

9 years after vanishing from outside her Australian family's home, Muffy the dog was found alive and well this month in another backyard — 1,200 miles away — officials said Thursday.

Inspectors with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were investigating a possible animal cruelty case at a home in the southern city of Melbourne two weeks ago when they found the fluffy white mutt sleeping outside on a scrap of cardboard, Victoria state RSPCA spokesman Tim Pilgrim said.

A microchip in Muffy's neck identified her owners, and, after a few days of searching for a current phone number, officials tracked down Natalie Lampard, who hadn't seen Muffy since the pooch disappeared from her backyard in the eastern city of Brisbane nine years ago.

"When the RSPCA described her, I told them her name; I knew immediately it was our Muffy," Lampard said. "It was totally out of the blue — after nine years, I thought she was long gone."

The owners of the Melbourne house where Muffy was discovered said they found the dog about a year ago wandering along a street, Pilgrim said. But where had Muffy spent the previous eight years? And how did she get all the way to Melbourne — about 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) from Brisbane?

"Nobody knows," Pilgrim said. "The mystery continues for old Muffy."

Muffy was suffering from a severe allergic reaction to fleas and has been under treatment since the RSPCA removed her from the Melbourne home, Pilgrim said. The dog, which the Lampards originally adopted from an RSPCA shelter near Brisbane, is recovering well and should be in good enough shape to fly back home on Tuesday, Pilgrim said.

Lampard got Muffy as a gift for her now 17-year-old daughter Chloe, and the two had been inseparable, Lampard said.

"After the RSPCA called, I rang my daughter and asked her if she was sitting down, then told her they'd found Muffy," Lampard said. "She's over the moon and there'll be a few tears shed when they see each other again. But just how she got down to Melbourne I guess is a mystery that will never be answered."

I got this from my sister and would glad to share with you guys.

cheers.

Friends sh*t f*ck! ( friendship park)

They called us the "Sunken Heroes".

We fought the battle of wars and never give up until the very end.


We conquered not only the land but the sea as well.

We claimed our so-called temporary victories with our own blood and sweat.

In the end we maintain peace and justice

~Eventhough throughout the process ~

Some have sacrificed themselves for the sake of freedom.

Few have been detained as war prisoners.
(may God bless you)

Some have swam back and never return.


Some decided to explore the unknown world beyond the map.


Some have found new land.

Some......simply waiting to be saved by her "west-life"'s guy.
(I wish i could tell her it was me Xp "*joking*)

Some still wondering and searching...

others have found an invisible bond between them... friendship


Friendships isnt how you forget but how to forgive.

Not how you listen but how you understand.

Not how you see but how you feel

Not how you let go but how you hold on,

What brings them together is what they come for

Friends...

I need them.

Back to Uni

Everyday,

not only me but everyone here need to get up as early as possible as to catch the first

shuttle bus at 730 in the morning.


The difficult thing to do was to get up in the early morning,

It felt like as if Im being glued to my precious bed somehow and probably I was still dreaming

and wondering around in my fantasy world.

Ha~ too bad, it didn't last long,

not until my roommate pull me back to reality. I was awake.

The fact is reality is too painful to ponder and

I never enjoyed myself spending my time in the toilet, pressing my stomach and crying in pain,

nevertheless the food here seems to be more spicy than I ever imagined.


Its been a year now since I arrived here and now, I'm in my 2nd year of my degree.

I met so many new friends and I got myself a new title now,"Senior" and it sounds cool~.

The Juniors are friendly and rather childish( ha3 Im joking).

I wonder how do I look like when I first got myself here...hrmmmm. interesting to know..


I managed to settle my accommodation and stayed with my old mates which is good.

By the way,

everything is a O.K except the never ending lousy internet connection.

ohh one more thing , currently they are constructing a new pond nearby my dorm

( wow~ amazing is it ?)

and how great it is and for sure there will be ALOT of mosquitos

( probabbly this will trible the mosquito's population) YIKES~


Anyhow, Life here isn't that boring as I pictured in my mind.

It is fun to have friends here and I really enjoy it every moment of it.

I WILL UPDATE THIS SOON

Clinic practical.

Sorry for the huge gap.

Things have kind of got away from me so I haven't updated for quite some time but just for you,

promised I would post something today.


So to update you on what has been going on,

I have been spending my time doing 2 of my practical in Malaysia and 1 currently doing clinic

practical in Brunei. Eventhough it is exhausting but it is worth the effort being put into

as I am 1 step closer to reach my goal as a vet.

Ouch~
This is what you get when you handle a fearsome cat.

This dog arrived yesterday due to the injury it sustain on the left hind leg.

Further checkup, we discovered it had a bone fracture.

Tomorrow I will be sent to KB branch which is probably 100ish Km from my house.yikes.

Going off soon

Yesterday,

I was informed that my flight to Brisbane is confirm on this coming Friday.

Finallyyyyy!!!!!

Its about time to meet everyone there especially my friends.

Its been awhile ever since I was away and I wonder how much things change there.



For now,

I can imagine myself drifting to the sweet old days.

Happy birthday to me. T_T

Hi guys!!!

Another year has passed and Im a year older than yesterday.
Im 22 years old now and it sounds old to me T_T.


I can imagine now that how fast the time flies.



The first thing that you know is that you are in Primary school.

Having fun, chit chat'ing ...but most of all,

joking and fooling around with friends and teachers,

but at that time,you never know that it wouldn't last long until you realise it when its gone.

The next thing you know is that you are a uni student now and that friends which used to be

beside you is no longer there.

Everyone is...gone pursuing their perspective career.



There was a time that I used tothink that I can always turn back to the past, back to those old time

but soon I found out that I was wrong.

Time itself is irreversible unless you have created a Time machine *hahaha*



Actually, I do feel a little bit..old reaching the 20s

but the fact that as I grow older ,

I tend to think more about responsibility towards my future career.

Living abroad has taught me how to live independently. *welcome to reality*

It was hard at first,

feeling homesick everyday in a new environment with different culture.

Meet different kind of people with different background.

Learn how to communicate, adapt and to make new friends.

Finally, have to eat "Pedas" or "Spicy" food which I cannot bare the Spiciness T_T.

Aiyo!!!!! I told you so many times "NO CHILI NO PEDAS Ok!!"

hahahahha

Here is my Twin sis. ;p

hahahaha.
I blocked her name out.

ah~ 22 years old now and I still managed to keep myself being "single" ~_~ --> so unfortunate.



I would like to thank u for all the birthday greetings

via Friendster, facebook, MSN, SMS, and even here .

All of these made my day lively.

ho~ho~ho~

Post To China

*****UNDER CONSTRUCTION******
Currently Im so sleepy untill I cant take out the words that i want to write here.
will probably continue tomorrow or the following days.
cheers. zZz

*Welcome to China*

It was the night of winter that when I arrived to Guang-zhou, China.
I have been experiencing exhaustion and dizziness both in the same time
due to lack of rest after a long journey to get here.
I have noticed that Im having running nose and frost bite as well *yikes that's hurts*.
All I can say it was freaking damn cold here!! X_x uh~ *shivering*.
uwww~
Nevertheless I couldn't resist but to enjoy this kind of weather. *me like it*

Ho~ho~ho~ Merry Xmas!
*in the hotel lobby*

1st of all,
the accommodation where Im staying in is located within the city subsequently its quite crowded.
At downtown , there are pretty much cheap clothes, shoes and anything *just name it*
YES~as it seem, it is very tempting to buy considering its cheap price.

The night in the city

Streets fills with the crowds.

Me standing in the crowd

Uww tea shop,
me Like Tea~
me want Tea~

Jiao Tong which stands for "Transport". -_-!
*thanks for the correction joanne*

What catches my eyes is that there's Chinese Muslim restaurant nearby the street.
Indeed, it is very convenient for Muslim travelers not only to have a rest but also to
exchange information and in the same time it also gave me the chance to have a glimpse of the way of Chinese Muslims life in "China" coping with their daily activities.

ZFY, a muslim restaurant

De Chef'
*wa~la~ magnificent~*

"Come~ Come~ Look~ Look ~" -> the salesman shouted.
that's how they greet tourist especially the Europeans.
hahahahha!!
No matter what, they will try to convince or may I say "force" you to buy their items
eventhough you might NOT consider it to be useful
which sometimes I found it to be annoying.
Thus, More or less the price here are cheaper and alot of varieties too
compare to my home country.
The people here are more likely to be friendly than what I have in mind but rather the opposite when it comes to Hong kong *No offence* >.<-v though.

Now that I remember her name is Ling.

Uwww~ Do you notice what I see? there's a Brunei's flag for sale.

After days in Guang Zhou, I headed to Shen Zhen via Train
which took probably an hour and a half to get there where most of the time I fell asleep in the whole journey. ~zZzZz~ sleepy~

Guang Zhou Rail way Terminal Station

uww~ To Disneyland only for $50 *Fascinating*

Ticket is check and Im ready to go.
Shen Zhen here I come!

Inside the Terminal and it still smells new though. *Being sakai*

At first glance, I thought it was a Bullet train.
Chu~chu~ Train.

I swear that to a certain time the train reaches to 202 km/hr
*keke well my car can clock at 220km/hr*

Finally,
Welcome to Shen Zhen

ah~ this should be for the cat soup I guess.
*hahaha*

Puppies for sale.

To Hong Kong

After fooling around in China, Its time to go back now.
Before that Im going to stay in Hong Kong for 2 days for transit before going back to Brunei.
Unfortunately, I fell sick in those 2 days so I end up nesting in the hotel.
I know!! its a worst time to get sick in a trip where I should have gone somewhere else exploring.

what to do?~not feeling well.

On the way to hotel.

Uwww~! a Double decker~

Went through a underground tunnel.
