The unexpected

Alas I'm back in Melbourne, unfortunately. It's my final semester for my masters and man I better don't screw this up! Did that, been there and I swear it's not a pleasant experience.
First of all, you have to re-schedule your plan because everything is being delayed for half a year or even worse, a year. Second of all, more costs will be incurred. Whether you like it or not, somehow you have to come up with another 10kAUD (based on rate on 2007)to pay for your semester excluding living costs which includes rent, food and other expenses. Hefty fine for failing a subject!

Anyways, something happened when I arrived back in Melbourne. My dog Jane passed away. Sigh, man I'm so sad over her death. The doctor said her life expectancy will be around 6 to 9 months but unexepctedly the cancer cells manage to infect her bloodstream thus infecting her other organs in her body. Being an old dog (9 years), her immune system wasn't effective enough to slowdown the infection and she was paralzyed from the pain. Being an active dog since a pup, this was the first time I ever see her lying motionless in her hut, dreading to move even if I pat her. I regretted of not spending enough time with her, yes I am really no regreting and will be for the rest of my life. How do I describe her? Jane is a different type of rottweiler. Of all Rotties I've came across she's the skinniest, yet the most devoted dog I ever had. I still remember the first day she arrived at my house as a puppy. She was small, skinny but very friendly, hyperactive and daring!

Despite her physical size, she's much more fierce than any other dogs because she's a dedicated dog who will fend off any strangers that invades my home. No doubt about it, she killed countless stray cats and dogs, and rats. Those are just small preys. If there ever been a rober or thief, I'm sure he/she will be dead regardless. Not to mention her husband Jacky and son Jay will be around to back her up. Now that you've left us, I bid you goodbye and hope you'll find freedom in afterworld - roaming and run to your hearts content in the endless meadow. Sorry for not loving and spending enough time with you.

But of course, death is part of life and that's what makes life, life. At least she was properly burried with a funeral. That is what we can give you last before you move on, while I will have to move on.
