HRH Nis Muffin posted a comment on my 'no mood for mutimedia' post, so here's d reply. it's so long so i put em here.
COMEL? KENA LANGGAR KERETA??when i was 7-8 i had a cat named Comel, but my dad calls her Putih cus she's damn white, very white like snow. she also had kids, 3 je tapi, Nina, Noni and one more i forgot d name cus org lain da amik siang2. Comel was my best friend, as i was an only child and my kampung frens' houses are so far that i haf to ride a bike to reach em. (owh i was wild, i even amndi sungai at dat time sampai kena tegur muntah-muntah). we lived in a bungalow in Kg Bkt. Raya H. Langat, which population sticks to the main road, itsa very bz main road dat hari raya nak gi umah org seberang pun my mom suruh tunggu dia, susah betul nak dapat duit raya. my org seberang includes arwah Pak Sako, the wartawan hero.
ramai kenal Comel, including Pak Sako's wife and jiran sebelah dia Acik Mariaton. and one day i saw Acik Mariaton came to the house telling my nenek sumthing. my nenek hurried to the road and shakes her head. young as i was, i thought it's jest an everyday matter.
then until night i couldn't find Comel, who always comes to my room. my nenek jest kept weirdly quiet, i thought she had a fever or plain tired. and when my dad comes back home dat night i was already crying 'Where's Comel, did u gave her to sumone else?' cus he has been wanting to give her away cus i haf terrible asthma.
my dad was startled hearing my question, then my nenek whispered sumthing to him. my dad looked at me in the eye, 'Ja, Comel dah takdek dah, Tuhan da amik. Esok kita tanam dia yeah?'
the whole i cried and cried until i finally get to sleep. the next morning, apparently my dad has taken Comel's body from the road where a car hit her, and he burried him with me as a witness. i put a marble as her gravestone. for years, the marble didn't move from its place, and i visit her very very oftne, especially when i came back from school. when we sold the house, i said goodbye to her... and thanked her for being such a wonderful friend.
so we had quite a cat in common eh, Nis? :o)

Such a sad story, I have tears in my eyes! Yup we do have a common :) I remember I cried until my eyes bengkak when I saw Comel lying on the ground. She was such a good cat, she didn't scratch the sofa, etc. Another thing that made me cry was the fact that she had 4 kittens, and they have no idea their mother is dead. *sigh*
i was champion story teller when i was in primary skool hahahaha
but the story is true though, yeah i couldn't stop crying dat nite. but Comel's kidz were already quite big at the time she died, prolly around 6-7 months. Comel herself was already quite old.
pardon the many spelling mistakes in this entry, i was in a hurry to go to skool, but now i'm lazy to correct it.
