SPCA-KK Fundraiser this Month

The SPCA in Kota Kin­abalu is short of funds, as in we are run­ning in the neg­at­ive with money from our own pock­ets. Our pub­li­city has also been too low key, to such an extent that no one knows we even exist. This year, I vow to help change at least the pub­li­city part of the

Beard

SMBC has found another way to per­fectly describe my feel­ings regard­ing the fungal out­growth infest­ing my jaw. Thank­fully, I am not emo­tion­ally burdened with a mate (yet). Indeed, the num­ber one reason excuse I use for not shav­ing is the rate of growth that neces­sit­ates daily trim­ming — a risk to my skin I rather fail

SPCA-KK AGM 2011

A bit of a shuff­ling around of the com­mit­tee this year, the pres­id­ent remains Mohammad Iskandar Ali. The most vis­ible change is the new vice pres­id­ent, who is singer, song­writer Amir Yus­sof, who has decided to make fun­drais­ing his num­ber one pro­ject, since SPCA-KK is offi­cially broke.

Strays Up and Down.

This is an utterly ludicrous land. We refuse to accept atro­cit­ies com­mit­ted towards anim­als when it is high­lighted by the media, yet con­veni­ently for­get that there are anim­als around us who are decidedly, not un-abused.

SPCA Update #2: Chores

It is quite import­ant, it has to be done every day, and it is not very pleas­ant. Poo. The news­pa­pers will be soak­ing wet by the time we get there via fre­quent use. And if we are for­tu­nate, the dogs would have kindly obliged our hos­pit­al­ity by keep­ing their solid waste in the same gen­eral

SPCA-KK Volunteer Update

As I may have pre­vi­ously men­tioned to my friends in real life, but never really got around to blog­ging about it, I have been volun­teer­ing much of my free time this semester in the local SPCA, which is just as much about want­ing to feel less guilty about myself not wast­ing time and money, as

+-Suck ++Awesome

There are two ways to make the world a bet­ter place. Decrease the suck, or increase the awe­some. For instance, help­ing Nathan Fil­lion buy Fire­fly would be awe­some. Or you could donate some time and resources to the SPCA, civil rights act­iv­ists, and the open source move­ment. We need to do both, but focus­sing on the
