I realise I’ve never properly introduced Miss Molly’s three kittens (or The Diablos, as I like to call them) in this blog. Here they are:

Neutering Miss Molly
After thinking about it since the first time I adopted her, I finally had the gut to take Miss Molly to a vet and had her neutered. (If you have pets, you should consider neutering them too. You can read this if you’re still unsure.) On Sunday, PKDB (or Pecinta Kucing Domestik Bandung, a cat lovers community in my city) held a charity event where cat owners could neuter their cats for a cheaper cost. I signed up Miss Molly and so she went under surgery on Sunday night.
I witnessed the whole surgery procedure through a window. Miss Molly had an anesthesia shot, but she was awake and her eyes were opened. I don’t understand how anesthesia work, but I knew she didn’t feel anything because she just lay there looking confused. I kept waving and smiling at her. She was looking at me with a puzzled look, like “Where am I? Who are these people? What are they doing down there?”
For about 20 hours since the surgery, she didn’t want to eat or drink. She slept all day yesterday, but she finally ate her food in the afternoon. She’s doing fine now. In fact, she eats a lot. People say that a neutered cat has the tendency of getting fatter and I don’t mind at all. Cuddling with Miss Molly would feel even more fun if she put on some weight. Her kids are all supportive too, in a way where they keep bugging her and asking to suckle.
I’m just hoping that the stiches are cured soon so that I can cuddle with her again. I really miss hugging her tightly.

Typical September
I hate to say this, but I’ve always had this little hatred for September for years now. Majorly because it is the start of the new school year, but also because last year’s September was, like, the lowest point of my life. I am a pessimist, so when August came to its end, I already knew that I shouldn’t have put too much expectation on September. That, however, doesn’t help with the disappointments I experience right now.
First, one of my final paper supervisors is busy for the whole first three weeks of September, so I have to postpone any progress of this paper to the last week of September. What?
And to add to that, my laptop charger is broken so I can’t use the laptop at all. All my files are there, and even though I’m using Dropbox to backup some of them, most of the references I’ve downloaded from the internet are in the folder which is not automaticaly backed up to Dropbox.
I’m using my family’s PC to post this and the old keyboard is… well, old. We rarely use it now that each of us owns a laptop, so this keyboard is covered with dust, much like the tomb of Pharaoh.
So, yeah… I really need to fix my charger.
On the brighter side: my boyfriend bought me John Green’s An Abundance of Katherines(!!!)
I love John Green. As I said on Anjali’s blog, John Green is like the Albus Dumbledore of young adult fictions. I’ve read all of his books, except An Abundance of Katherines and Let It Snow. The last one I read was Will Grayson, Wil Grayson and I finished it in just three days. What a waste of a good book, no? So for this one, I’m taking my time. It’s been four days and I’ve only read 20 pages. Hahaha
PS. My dad just called from Way Kambas and he said he’d buy me elephant tshirt and stuffed toy. Woot!
