International Dog Day takes place every 26th of August. All the dog lovers will rejoice on this day. All the love, hugs and kisses to the doggies. ♥️ Let’s celebrate the wonderful animal called the dog. Known for their loyalty, dogs bring much joy to their owners because they make good companion. Not forgetting the service dogs that have saved many lives.
If you’ve seen some of Myle Enterprise’s social media posts, you’ll notice that there’s a new toy in the shape of a dog which always makes an appearance aside from Carrots, the toy rabbit. That toy dog is Doggy.
Doggy first came into my life in 2005. That means Doggy is 18 years old when this post is created this year. Considered the legal age to do certain adult things in certain countries. You can’t tell that this white with black patches of fur toy dog in its pristine condition is already 18 years old, isn’t it. That’s because I didn’t play with this dog much and kept it properly in the cupboard all these years. I cherish it because of sentimental reasons perhaps but do note that not every item I keep is for sentimental reasons.
How this toy dog came into my life was because a very close girl friend of mine (maybe now it’s better to call binary gender friend?), back then, who was living in Singapore but born in Malaysia and was frequently flying around the world, sent Doggy as a gift via airmail to me, who was in United Kingdom and was frequently travelling to and fro London. Doggy came in a fitting dog house, placed in a post parcel when it was delivered to me.
Doggy grew up in UK and lived comfortably because my life back then is different from now. It was more prestigious, with the things I was doing, the people I met and the life I lead. A life that I kept very private about for almost 20 years because by then I’ve seen the ugliness of human beings whom when they become green-eyed monsters, they do evil things to others. Sometimes these jealous people are just right beside you, some called family, some whom you thought were friends and even your love partner. There were those that I dated who really had no shame in showing their jealousy and started competing with me instead. They should be supporting me and be happy for my achievements but they weren’t. I’m just glad I kicked them out of my life. Even the story about how I was too tired and turned down the invitation to meet Her Majesty the Queen, was kept a secret all these years. A story I thought I will bring to my grave, but now that you know, it will be a story for another day.
Partly also because I don’t want to appear to be bragging. However the world is such that if you just keep it humble, people will always doubt what you can do and they will look down on you. Another reason is because I have different sets of friends like even those from back home, I have different cliques with different types of people. I was quite the social butterfly back then but now I’m so introverted, I love being in my own company and doing things on my own. So peaceful. You see, if I were to tell them stories like staying in castle grounds, meeting world leaders, some of them can’t comprehend because we’re on different levels and different frequencies. Some of them will think I’m lying, knowing how humans are. Look at history and you’ll see how people have destroyed inventions or philosophical ideas, just because the mass can’t understand it. I can tell you a true story of a friend I used to have, let’s call her T, who told me how she and another friend stalked one of our mutual friend, let’s call her R. They stalked her all the way home because R put a landed property address in a register form and T didn’t believe her, so she wanted to burst her bubble. T found out that R went home to a high-rise buildings and not a landed property. So what was T’s point? Just to start telling everyone about R lying, which T was doing. Actually T herself was staying in a very run down flat, the type where it has dark corridors and it was dodgy. I know this because once she made me go to her place after one of our school activity and I kind of freaked out because in my younger days, I was very sheltered and I grew up in a landed property with bright garden space, so I’m not used to those places. Now I’m not scared of anything much anymore, because I’ve been exposed to so many places and situations. I didn’t make fun of T’s place, so if no one was looking down on her, why did she have to do that to R ? Just so she can pull R down to her poor level and she won’t let R feel superior? This is what human ugliness is about. It’s not physically ugly but it’s the things they do that makes them ugly. Why didn’t she just confront R after finding out ? What if R had a landed property and also a high-rise property so she can put either addresses? Yet, more than 20 years passed and I still see them hanging out, taking pictures all cuddly like they’re the best buddies ever. I wonder if R ever found out. I can’t help but feel disgusted now seeing how fake humans can be. This might be a small matter to some of you and maybe you say, T was just childish. However, I’ve seen T doing more undesirable things to others and myself including showing her green-eyed monster head before. Firstly, I’m not sure why R claimed she stayed in landed property, when she was staying in high-rise. Maybe because landed properties are more expensive in Malaysia so she wanted to feel superior ? I grew up staying in a landed property and I’ve stayed in high-rise buildings so at the end of the day, I’m thankful to have a roof over my head. Of course I have my preference as to which type I like, more because of the environment and quietness reasons. Secondly, T wasn’t being a true friend by not believing her friend (I know friends can lie), but to the point to stalk her friend, then to tell everyone about R lying… would you want a friend like that ? I don’t think so. T, I hope you’ll repent. When I was young, I didn’t realise I was surrounded by friends like these. It used to be I’ll just mix with everyone. If you think I’m antisocial, I’ve once been over-social that I saw many things in many different people, you wouldn’t even know people are capable of, so much so that I choose to be antisocial. I’ve seen enough. I’ve always been warned to beware of who I mix with by many different people, especially those in power. That’s why, I didn’t listen, being dumb dumb. Thank you to all those who advised me back then, I understand now. My sincerest thanks. I’m just very thankful that in my life, I always meet people in power who’ll want to pull me up higher. This is my life blessing. Please don’t take to heart that sometimes I can’t follow what you say, I’m not made to just follow blindly and I’m just not ready for what it was but when I’m ready, I can see it at your level. Now that I’m older and can see it as it is, I don’t feel safe with these type of friends so I stay away. This is how I know I’ve matured when it comes to friendship. I prefer gentler, purer friends who have my best interest. They exist, I’ve met a few of these people during different periods of my life.
Those who were there with me during those experiences of my more prestigious period (I’m not sure what to call it because I won’t call it higher realms where my higher realms now is a different kind and different dimension) will know that being able to access the elites were just part of our lives. No big deal. From conversations like “How was the Queen?”, “Oh, she was fine and had smooth skin” to “Have to go research on this case law”, “When is our next dining” where it’s fine dining repeated so many times in a year and we have to be on our best behaviours – all of these were the norms for us but really, we’re all just like normal human beings. Or at least, most of us, while we’re on this earth. Those who didn’t know my life then and couldn’t experience such will think it’s far fetched. Maybe because they grew up with you, they didn’t think that sometimes people will level up and when you do get better, they’ll get all pissed off for no reason. I haven’t even told them much about my accomplishments and I already see how some people are, so it’s ok, you can carry on thinking I’m the dumb dumb. I’ve got nothing to prove to anyone except to myself that I can do better and I know that I’m capable of anything if I want to. The most important thing is to remember myself.
So Doggy has the love of 2 generous women – one who gave it and another one who received it. Came to me in a fur of white and black, when I was always suited up in black and white. Being with me at that time, Doggy knew about the finer things in life. I’d like to think that Doggy is a pretty refined dog. There’s one post about Doggy going shopping and Doggy chooses the better products that have higher value. This dog has expensive taste.😆 I’m not delusional and I know this is a toy, but in a creative world, I create a character storyline for it.
If you saw in Myle Enterprise, when Doggy started making an appearance, it was also time an upgrade was due, to offer better products and we needed to reassess our service fee as well as prices. It can’t be that in the first year, we were earning abc amount and in my 10th year, we’re still earning only abc amount. Something clearly went wrong there and changes will be needed. Have you seen the inflation in prices throughout the years on items and dwellings? Prices went up but earnings didn’t go up. Actually I already have experiences in events, performance like emceeing and dancing, blogging and gift creation even before I set up Myle Enterprise. I should be earning a decent amount and it’s not right that I’m not paid for my services and products. It’s just awful how people try not to pay or pay undervalue. Worse still if they’re people who were close to you, then you know how inconsiderate they are. Real friends will want to see you thrive and do well so they’ll support you. True friends will not want to see you suffer and will not want you to starve. Lesson learnt and this lesson about friends, I’ve seen it happen in different periods before. I would say this time, I’ve learnt it well already so universe, you don’t need to repeat the lessons anymore. I don’t want to meet the same people anymore, I’m done. I took a step back, I observed and I saw a lot that I’ve noticed before. Too busy going through the motions in the past, living like a zombie at times, living on autopilot at times and just non-stop actions. I paused to breathe and now I know. Once I was blind, now I see. There was once I loved too much, I cared too much. Now I’m the wiser. Those who were there, I’ve been grateful and the friends I’ve seen to be good, I’m glad for you.
With all these different groups of people I mix with, sometimes I have to remind myself to filter my topic and behave accordingly to which group. E.g. if I were to talk about emcee scripts to my IT friends, they’ll wonder why I’m talking gibberish. If I were to be all serious and talk law to my stage performance friends, they’ll look at me and wonder what sucked the joy out of my life. If I were to talk investments and business to my primary school friends, they’ll wonder why I’m not gossiping about other people with them because I don’t know why my school year system didn’t have anything about money investments. It’s easier for people who have one track field in life, so they just talk about that for the rest of their lives. I’ve so many paths I’ve been through in my life, with different fields I’ve acquired and achievements I’ve made. My achievements 20 years ago, I’ll tell you now. My achievements now, who knows, maybe I’ll tell you 20 years later if I’m still alive.😉 Know that these are all in me and I embody all these experiences. Maybe I’m on a fast track on earth, so I’m here to learn everything in this lifetime and get it done with once and for all. Sometimes I’m just tired so I stop talking all together. Maybe I came from a planet where we use telepathy.😄 Then when I start talking, I cannot stop and that’s good when I emcee.
Anyway, I’m just a normal human being. Not as generous, not as kind, not as nice anymore. Some parts of me in the past don’t exist anymore, some things I’ve let go of and some people I’ve removed. If I’d gone towards certain paths, I could have been very rich, or very powerful or very famous – all these were laid out in front of me literally but I’ve my own reasons why I didn’t. I’ve seen how when I open my own doors, I open to the best. I’d like to think there’s an angel or spirit guide that’s easing the way. Maybe it’s a coincidental chance that came upon me, in an unseen chronology of events, with some people involved along the way, that lead to all these different achievements. All I know is, it was the flow which moved so effortlessly and that is the best state to manifest. I remember myself and it’s always within. Please don’t be like some, open to dung🤦♀️ and sometimes I don’t even need you to open the doors. Chivalry is an exception.😉 So if one person says they know me well, no they don’t. You’ll never know me as a whole person, collectively. Different people will see me differently and they will perceive from their own point of view. I’m ever changing. So you go find yourself and reminder : no need for jealousy when you look at others.
Why was Doggy taken out of the cupboard? It’s because I was looking for something where I can place my phone on so it’s elevated with a tilted angle. I was starting to get this hunchback and strained neck if I look at the phone screen when it’s placed flat on the table. Then it became a habit to have this hunch even while holding the phone. Starting to become like a giraffe with elongated neck, just to get a better look at the phone screen. Ouch, my neck. This is modern day health problem. So I was looking at what I have that can elevate my phone and I wanted something soft, so I decided to use Doggy. Out of the dog house, Doggy was taken. Actually Doggy is a phone holder and paper stand. It has a clip to hold a paper up, which you can see in the first photo of this post, where I clipped my name card there. As for the phone compartment, it’s too small to stuff my current phone in, so I turned the compartment inside out which it then becomes like a pillow and place it on Doggy’s back. Back then mobile phones were small and compact. Nowadays the mobile phone is bigger and heavier. Next time we can carry mobile phone the size of a 24 inch tv. Guarantee you can see every detail of a photo on screen, up to the tiniest open pore someone has. Have to stock up on those pore refining moisturizers or concealers if you’re not using any photo editor.
See, Doggy is very useful. I also use it as a prop for my social media contents. Better than using human beings because Doggy is flexible and won’t talk back.😝 You say so old already still playing with toys. So what. There was one period where I removed all toys and everything cute from my daily life. I became 100 years old with the skin to match. Not my type of life. Some people are meant to be childlike and cute. At least now it’s childlike but doesn’t mean naivety. Now don’t you start to think you can simply do anything to me. Don’t think I can’t retaliate, see I want to live and let live or not only. I’m more than meets the eye. I heal myself. My life, I live it the way I want. Your life, you go take care of your own self and don’t need to pry into mine. Reality check, it’s 2023 already. I don’t live in the past but I can remember myself. There are more to do, moving on. Alright, much love to the dogs once again. 🫂🐕 It’s your day, doggie dearies so I wish you all good lives.
