DEATH OF A STRAY CAT


Dad got us special passes to enter the LIMA 2007 exhibition during the premier days. So Stefan and I get to see the exhibition before it's opened to public :P

It was AWESOME! Despite the occasional rainy weather, LIMA 2007 presents the best air-show and maritime performances.

While Dad was busy in charge of his participating firm's booth at Porto Malai, Stefan and I rented a car to go around Langkawi Island and the first place we drove to was the airport. We wanted to watch Britain's RAF Aerobatic team, the Red Arrows, do their trademark manoeuvres in the sky.


The most suspense-filled event is when an RMAF Sukhoi SU-30MKM jet went sharply up 90 degrees and later dropped freely, making several circular spins. Stefan wondered whether the pilot deliberately pulled that stunt or whether he was actually running out of fuel in mid-air. While the airfield seizure exercise by the 10th Paratrooper Brigade from Malacca remained cancelled, nine paratroopers from the RMAF Special Forces’ commandos did a freefall from a CN 235 transport aircraft.

We went into the airport runway and took some pictures with some of the aircrafts on display. There's this one luxury aircraft I find very enjoyable. It's catered for up to 8 persons and there's lots of cool rooms inside the aircraft - they have a lounge room; few bedrooms at the back of the plane; a spacious bathroom; and a dining room. Now this is what I call a private jet-plane.


I caught sight of a chess board inside the lounge room, and I asked Stefan to play chess with me there. Stefan hesitated at first, but when the lady in charge of the display offered us some choc bars as welcome gifts, Stefan decided that it was probably okay to relax for a while. The lady took us, along with several trade visitors, exploring the internal of the plane.

******************************

Some idiotic Chinese guy rammed a pregnant cat on the road outside the hotel, and he was about to knock down Stefan and I next until the stupid jerk braked just in time. My heart stopped when I saw the dead cat on the ground. A few minutes before, Stefan and I had watched the cat feeding peacefully on a packet of nasi lemak which someone had placed on the ground. Now the heavily pregnant cat was lying beside its last meal in a pool of blood.

How many kittens would it have delivered if it was still alive?

Stefan shook his head. He muttered, "Some of these rich Chinese kids never had a driver's license, and yet society allows them to go around endangering people's lives."

I was reminded of a case where there's this Chinese college girl knocked down another college girl to death and she was sent to prison for her grievous offence.

Stefan got out some old newspapers from our room, and he wrapped the dead stray cat with them before he buried it in the ground somewhere behind our hotel.
