Relieved, Depressed, Depressed, Relieved, Depressed...

Life for the last 3 weeks has been like an adventurous roller-coaster ride for me.  Sometimes it made me feel relieved, but depressed most of the time.  You see, I just started this graduate course sponsored by the government (yup, I like free stuff, but I like knowledge more!).  It's fun.  Made new friends, explored new areas, gaining new knowledge and most of all, engaged with myself more.  It made me realized that hey, I do have strengths that I never thought I would have.  The people I met there are amazing.  Seriously one of the best bunch of people I've ever met.  Luckily for me that I still got another 2++ months to spend with them and boy, I'd miss them terribly much after the course  is over.

Another not-so-great story that happened to me at the same time I enrolled the course was my little tinny fella (Budak) was diagnosed with parvo virus.  That was heartbreaking.  He was so tiny, and I really didn't know how  he found such strength during the hard time.  After 6 days, the vet said he was recovering but his red blood cell level was a bit alarming.  We (my sis & I) were determined to care for me at home, and glad that we did.  The morning after we brought him home, he left us to meet with the Great One.  It was devastating.  It still is.  He was so tiny, and young.  However, I know that He loves him more.  I'm glad that he no longer has to suffer the pain but as a mere human, I do miss him dearly.  We found him when his eyes were not yet opened and nurtured him till he was so naughty and became an expert furniture climber.  Sometimes I feel it's unfair but who am I to question His plan.  One thing for sure, I'm glad that he left while he was lying on my palms.  He's tiny you know.  But it's sad because it was the same hand that rescued him from the deep, dirty drain 4 months ago.  Budak, please know that we always love you and you will never be forgotten.  Ever.
