One thing I can share for now is .. like I said I have made a list for my Giant which includes visiting the "castle", my house (he couldn't wait to meet Momma Cat ), my neighbourhood and other places I mostly go to, like my office building, the traditional market, the grocery store, the supermall.. so my Giant would have more ideas about who and what Kal-de-Frog is. And one more .. I will take him to a Fun Offroad.
I asked my Giant if anybody knows about him having booked the flight ticket. He mentioned 6 or 7 friends of his.
Me : How about your family, anyone knows? Him : Yes, my mom. I told her.
Me : What did she say? Him : She asked me if I am nervous.. if I am excited. Then she told me this and that.. tips and tricks.
Me : Really? Him : Yups!
Me : Hmm.. I just wonder if someday she could fly to Indonesia with you. Him : Do you want me to ask her if she wants to come with me to visit you on this trip? I can ask her.
Me : Oh yes.. yes.. please do! But do you think this very long trip would be too tiring for her? Him : I think yes.
Me : Oohhh.. still please do ask her, ok! Him : Ok!
Wow! It would be wonderful if my Giant's mom can also fly to Indonesia with him. Hmm.. I wish my sister could speak English. She and my Giant's mom are two best chefs. These two ladies could exchange recipes. Or at least my Giant's mom could be the cooking competition judge between my sister and my Giant.
Wait a second, I have mentioned that my Giant and my sister will have cooking competition on one of my blogs, right? Well, yes that's the plan..
The other night I had my Giant in my dream. He was with me in my house. I kissed him on his shoulder and all over his face, except on his lips. Even in my dream I remembered what my sister once told me: "Kal, if you kiss a man on his lips, you will get pregnant!"
Did you mean hungry hungry? or "hungry"? If you meant hungry hungry then one thing for sure is that Eid-Al-Fitr means food food food and more food food food.
One of the things my sister once told me was "Kal, don't sleep with a man on a king size bed, you will get pregnant!" So queen-size bed is what it will be.. no upgrade.
That was what I said, wasn't it? What other modes do I have for now beside video-ing?
Hmm.. you would know the answer to that question had you read my blogs. Why would he and I renew our passports if we're not gonna take our relationship to the next step?
You see, I have talked on video to every single one of my Giant's big family. Yes, every single one.. his mom, his dad, his sons, his brother and wife, his sister, his aunt, his nephews and even his grandniece and some of his friends.. and not just once or twice.. they know me and I know them. No need to know them all perfectly well as it's not them I will live with, right? The most important thing is that I get their blessings.
So I guess the only next step for him and me now is just visiting each other in flesh. The rest is history. I now someone said it's not that simple in inter-racial marriage. But hey, please do tell me what marriage is simple?
Oh come on, we surely do.
You see, my Giant and I would have enjoyed our relationship in real life for several years if not because of the travel restriction policy due to Covid19. Only on June 21 2023 did the President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) officially declared the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, marking the start of the endemic stage. So it's only a few months ago. Only since then could my Giant and I start making plans. First thing first ofcourse it's to renew our passports.
But then the war in the Middle East broke! I had to ask him not to come considering the two Governments foreign policy differences.
Later on.. after observing the progress, I asked him to come in February this year. But then Covid cases have already been on the rise again. Like or not, we will have to wait till March. If things are improving, my Giant will come in April this year after Eid-Al-Fitr.
Well Chatillion, I hope that will answer your and some other bloggers' questions regarding my relationship with my Giant.
Two days ago I found a new Vet just around the corner. I asked few questions relating to my Christie's condition. Glad that he could check her.
But this afternoon I had given away all the chicken fillets I bought, still I couldn't see any traces of my Christie. So I have decided to stop looking for her.
As long as all my beloved ones are amongst those 100,000, I don't think I would miss anything. If the pre historic people survived with simple things, then we would too.
No wait, there is one. I will miss my comfy pillows.
Tbh I prefer none. And I am sure the cats knew that. That's why they came only to leave.
That sounds good to me. No wait, how about Kat-de-Frog?
You deserve all the best. May all your wishes come true in 2024! Thanks Ken!
Hmm.. the thing is.. the cat has gone. If she comes again, I may do so, as I did to Lucky. I know, Jacs. I know.
Not sure. Never heard of any organisations, or maybe because I never tried to search for it. People I know mostly take care "beautiful" cats. When I showed them Christie, they're not interested. They said too much works. I found some cat recuers on youtube, but the videos were mostly at least 3 years old. Not sure if they are still doing it. I am sorry for that, GoneLW.
Not sure if there is one here in my city. Besides, Christie has left. I couldn't find her. I can only hope that she is with someone who will take good care of her.
All "my" cats were traveler cats. They stopped by my house veranda to drink and eat, and then they left, which is good to me. I don't like to make them pets.
Thank you all for the comments, highly appreciated.
Hi Track, you're being here is a wonderful surprise for me. Thank you.
You see.. on the one hand, I couldn't stand it when I saw an unfortunate cat. I wanted to help. But on the other hand, I just don't like being too close to the cat. It's scary! Regarding your suggestion, I'll see what I can do best.
Meanwhile, because Christie has left, the only thing I can do is to take food for her when I go out incase I find her.
When I said that, I didn't mean it physically. You see, when I get tired of being "kicked", regretfully I will kick back. It's fair, isn't it? Still it's ugly.
