It had been almost more than a year since the last blog post. I had been rather busy since my job change two years ago. It’s quite a struggle, juggling between my part time varsity programme and full-time work.
I managed to find time draft this post while I was on a day break from work (not quite a vacation break but rather a medical leave) on Monday. I was down with fever and headache on that day, possibly due to bad weather lately.
Weather had been unsually hot lately, probably due to climate change. The heat was unbearable, that Dad turned on two big high velocity fans just to keep the room cool and ventilated. But nothing beats than having a cool dip in the pool, and that was what my dear Black Capped Conure, Kacy did!

The header probably sounds saucy, but the statement is valid and nothing obnoxious! Today was a public holiday and I was able to wake up slightly late than usual.
I was still deep asleep when Kacy climbed up onto my bed, perched right at the corner of my pillow and sleeping next beside me.

Kacy Stole a Bite of My Breakfast
I can’t believe that it has been almost 3 months since my last post. I have been really busy with my new job. Sometimes I really feel bad that I can’t spend much quality time with Kacy. Gladly today, I was able to spend some great time with Kacy the whole morning.
While I was preparing some soft boiled eggs for breakfast just now, Kacy actually climbed onto the kitchen counter-top to take a sneak glance at what I am doing.
The moment when I went to grab a teaspoon and to dispose the empty shells, Kacy stole a bite of my soft-boiled egg.
Kacy seems to like the taste and texture of the soft-boiled egg. She’s really enjoys “her” (or perhaps my) breakfast! *Giggle*

A Lazy Saturday Morning with Kacy
It was wondrous to spend a lazy Saturday morning thinking and doing nothing, but leisurely lying on the couch with my Black Capped Conure, Kacy enjoying the soft and relaxing music being played.
I felt really relaxed and my mind was clear. I believed Kacy felt the same too!

Yet another busy day, I left my mail in my tiny drawer and almost forgotten about it. Luckily I have Kacy, my Black Capped Conure to help me get my mail from my drawer.
Kacy is of a great help to me, and I am really happy that I have such great Personal Assistant!

Kacy Makes me Feel Like a Kangaroo
It’s another busy night, I was back on my work desk busily checking and replying business emails on my trusty Macbook Pro.
Mum slept early today because she was down with a bad flu. Kacy, my Black Capped Conure was left alone in the hall with her favorite toys. But couple of minutes later, she made her way to my bedroom and join me on my work desk.
While Kacy was tenderly caressing herself and enjoying the warm cosiness, I took a few pictures of her with the iSight Camera (a built-in webcam on Macbook Pro) without her noticing it.

Surprise Write-up on BirdTalk Magazine
Couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate that a dear friend of mine, Jiaxing lended me a few past copies of BirdTalk magazine that I missed. I was really nice of him!
I always enjoy reading BirdTalk magazine because of the great tips and information on parrots I got hold every time in each issue. While I was reading through the dated March 2010 copy last night, something caught me by surprise.
I found my name published in the magazine!
Too bad, it wasn’t in an announcement of contest winners for the magazine, but a published column with a short write-up that I wrote about Kacy, my Black Capped Conure!
I quickly called Kacy into the picture. She hurriedly hopped on the table and took a peek at the short write-up published in the magazine. Even though it was a very short write-up about Kacy, but she seems delighted reading it!
