Hey there! Birthdays were usually a sad, lonely affair from me because I am almost always away from my family and that's just downright depressing. *takes out a hankie and blows nose* However, this year I've decided to embrace the day positively and in lieu of wishes, greeting cards, birthday gifts and flat-screen TVs, I'd like for each and every one of you to donate to AnimalCare Society Petaling Selangor. AnimalCare is a charity that promotes caregiving to stray animals and helps in their spay-neuter and medical needs. It has panel veterinarians in several locations in the Klang Valley. The spay-neuter and medical treatment of stray animals are sponsored/subsidised from the AnimalCare Fund. Why did I choose this charity? I grew up with stray cats and shelter dogs as pets, and each of them has brought immense joy and great company to me. This is the least that I can do to honour their memory, not to mention that it's a good way to celebrate a birthday. What do you get out of this donation? Well, I plan to be a vegetarian for a month if I can raise RM10,000 for AnimalCare. If you're evil you will be most welcome to eat meat dishes in front of me and watch me suffer, one drop of saliva after another. Just don't blame me if you become a vegetarian instead. :-) So remember the DDDs (no, this is not a bra size -_-"): 1. Dig hard 2. Dig deep 3. Donate! Every single sen and ringgit counts! - Leona Liman - P/S: Closing date for donations is 28th October 2011 :-)
