Pet Wheelchairs!
As you know, I'm quite into the whole dog industry. Thinking that someday I might open something related to dogs (other than the training, which Angela is already doing). So I'm always looking for ideas how to rip the hardearned money off pet-loving suckers.
Here's one! Eddie's Wheels for Pets!
With some dogs, it's always a toss-up as who is "master" of whom, and whether the dog is man's best friend or vice versa.
Our blue Doberman, Buddha, was on of those incredibly self-possessed beings who always took the attitude that eventually she would get her humans fully trained. She was a working dog, a companion and guard dog while Eddie was a field service engineer, and covered a territory that included Southern New England and New York. She had her favorite pit-stops and nudged him at mealtimes when they'd pass the golden arches.
So when she lost the use of her rear legs at the age of 10 due to spondylosis and disc disease, we felt we owed her the time to heal. She had always treated me like a servant, but now I was carrying her around in a sling, scrambling eggs for her breakfast, and doing massage therapy every night. In the meantime, Eddie, dissatisfied with what was available commercially at that time, decided to build her a wheelchair that would restore her to decent quality of life.
That was in 1989; the cart was clunky by today's standards, but it allowed her to walk in the woods and fields again, harass the woodland critters, and go wading in the swamp. A new symbiosis evolved, as she trained me to lift her and the cart over obstacles. We served her needs, and were rewarded several months later, when she began to walk on her own again. She taught us about the value of convalescent care, and awed us with her ability to rehabilitate in her cart. After only a couple of months, her paralyzed legs started moving again, and shortly afterwards, she was able to stand and walk on her own without the cart.
Our vet was impressed with her recovery, and over the years referred people to us who needed wheelchairs for their disabled dogs. With each cart, Eddie refined the original design to make it lighter and easier to use. Finally, his own disabilities forced him to leave corporate life and he decided to devote himself to helping disabled animals. A feature article in the local newspaper produced a spate of orders and Eddie's Wheels was born.

Story of my Life
Working people, do you get this a lot in the office? Or is this a Malaysian thing.
It's actually translated from chinaese, which is honestly more funny, but here is goes.
Say also don't Listen
Listen also don't Understand
Don't Understand also don't Ask
Ask also don't Do
Do also do Wrong
Wrong also don't Admit
Admit also don't Correct
Correct also not happy
Not Happy also don't Say
(And it starts all over again)

High Court overturns ex-teacher William Ding's molest conviction
For the overseas dudes,
SINGAPORE : The High Court has overturned the conviction of the ex-teacher found guilty of molesting two school boys.
36-year-old William Ding Chun Fong had been sentenced in March last year to 12 months jail on three charges of molest.
Overturning the District Court's ruling, Justice VK Rajah held the case was fraught with serious inconsistencies and irreconcilable material contradictions.
For example, the alleged molestation at Toa Payoh Swimming Complex in 2001. The High Court had found that the evidence given by one of the boys was contradicted by other witnesses.
The defence argued that there were inconsistencies in the evidence of the other school boy on whether he had shared a sleeping bag with Ding at a sports training camp in 2004.
The defence also argued that the trial judge failed to consider how the boy's claim, that Ding had massaged his shoulders in 2004, had changed a few times.
The High Court agreed. Ding and his family cried when the judge granted the appeal.
"I thank God for making this happen and I am also very thankful for my lawyers," said Ding.
"There will always be discrepancies in any court, (and) evidence will never be perfect," said Engelin Teh, Ding's lawyer.
Justice Rajah said, in his brief grounds of decision, that the prosecution must prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. He added that he had real doubts if the boys' evidence was sufficiently reliable to sustain the conviction.
The court also addressed a point made by the trial judge who had described the testimonies of the two school boys as "unusually convincing". Justice Rajah said that "would be a stretch of both fact and logic".
The closely-watched trial in the District Court had originally lasted more than 80 days spanning over nine months.
Ding, who has left the teaching career, now plans to be a trainer or consultant. - CNA /ls

Batam Golf Trip?
I went to Batam for a round of golf with the family over the weekend.
This course was really nice. Well-maintained & damn challenging lah! For the barker golfers, let's find a weekend to head over the place. We can get the club to arrange everything for us, from the ferry to the hotel to the golf itself. Best thing is it's cheap somemore!
