V for VELVET

Every time somebody dropped by at by desk, they will be asking, hey daliey are those your kids?
I have to admit that my place s surrounded with kids' picture but none of them are mine.
So I reply, no those are my nieces and nephews.(my cousins kids that I treat like my own)

BUT I have 2 cats. You should see the way I glow with pride and joy every time i utter that last sentence. Yup...I have two kids, a boy Velvet age 6 and my girl Chloe who is 2 1/2.

When I was a kid, I wanted so much to get myself a cat mum my parents are soooo against it. "Nanti berak kamu nak cuci ka" Omg...bukannya kena basuh...grrr... I spent my childhood taking care of my neighbor’s cats. Also, all this while I thought i am kind of allergy to cats. Yes I can hold them and play with them but not for long. I will be scratching like a horny monkey..(ye ke? heh)

When himself told me that he is taking Velvet home 2 years ago (Velvet was staying with my mother inlaw in subang) i was quite reluctant. I mean taking care is one thing, but my allergy?
So Velvet came home 1 night, thin & sick, refuse to come out from the carrier. Nobody was taking care of him in subang so he was quite sick (i think his water container was polluted). And for the next 3 days...i was scratching like mad. BUT...it all went away on the 4th day. And Velvet started eating and getting use to my company. And we became close until...we brought Chloe home.
OMG...my black cat was so jealous that he almost fell from the balcony trying to get in to check out on the newcomers... let me cut long story short...

both kids now are glued to my feet every time I unlocked the front door. Velvet will go "makkkk...and sometime mekkkkk(pak sedara dia kelantan kot)...and makkkk" everytime I am out of his side. He is also my alarm clock, making sure that his mum wont be late for work.
Chloe? she has a very bitchy look...but when nobody is looking...she is extremely manja. She hates strangers and she kisses only himself and me. I even have their video clips in my phone because once, i went balik kampung for 5 days, and i cried because i miss them so much.
And while i type this from the corner of my office, i am actually missing them. Can’t wait to clock out at 5 so that I can reach home by 5.30 and hugs my 2 beautiful adorable kids.
