Brought mum out for dinner and grocery shopping at Sun Plaza. The Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh (吉祥红龟粿) pop-up stall next to the elevators still have quite a varieties Ang Ku Kuehs or red tortoise cakes (红龟粿) for sale. Mum picked two of her favourites - Peanut (花生) and Sweet Bean (豆沙) while I chose a new flavour - Red Bean (红豆). The snacks are priced at S$1.50 apiece and six for S$9. The lady was saying if you present the (membership) card, you get S$0.20 off but she just gave everyone the discount whether the card was shown or not.

You know, slipping and falling down a tall ravine is definitely not Bumblebee's idea of fun.

We took my sweet bean in for her CT scan and biopsy today.

The tumor is huge, and the disease is into her spine and a majority of the bone. The vet stated it is inoperable because of the spine area. Our only options were trying chemotherapy which was out of state (and won't be possible for us) , or moving to palliative care.

We are upping her pain medications to keep her comfortable for now. Once her quality of life is no longer at a sustainable level, and she's having more bad days than good, we'll do the same at home euthanasia we did for Blaze so that she can cross over safe and warm in her own space. Until then, she's getting maximum cuddles and treats. Cheza has not been very interested in food but will eat if you slowly hand feed her. She's been getting chicken, eggs, fish bits. And frankly whatever the heck she wants from now on that isn't poisonous.

I can't describe how much my heart is breaking. Cheza is my soul pup. I waited a year on the waitlist for her. I met her the week after she was born. I picked between her and one of her sisters. The little swirl on the back of her head prompted my choice. She came home with me the week after my Poppie passed away and during a time when I was severely struggling with my own mental health. She's been there for all the big moments in our lives since then. She's the prettiest, friendliest little pup I've ever seen and everyone always loves her the moment they meet her. She has filled these last 4 years with so many fun and beautiful memories. I don't know what we're going to do without her.

Everyone has been so unbelievably kind and supportive as my partner and I go through this tragedy. I want to thank all of you. Every kind word, every share of my art posts, every donation and commission, has meant the world to me. I love you guys and I'll never be able to fully express my gratitude. Keep us in your prayers. Please give all your furballs a big kiss and hug from me.

Commissions are still open and you can check the status of any currently open ones on the pinned commission post on my art pages. I couldn't make myself do anything other than hold her and cry today but I promise I'll get back to them tomorrow.

Sweet Bean

[buffetlicious]

Sister’s friend dropped by the Bugis Village branch of Ji Xiang Confectionery (吉祥食品) and gotten us these Ang Ku Kuehs (红龟粿). The colourful box set (S$5) consisted of Corn (Yellow), Yam (Purple), Coconut (Green), Salted Bean (Grey) and Sweet Bean (Red). The other box of 5s red tortoise cakes (S$1 per piece) came with peanut filling.

And now for the special items. The gold foil dusting Black Durian Ang Ku Kueh cost S$3.50 each and is filled with durian puree. It is the first time I had the king of fruits in a tortoise cake. While the taste isn't bad, durian flavour is just not strong enough to warrant this a good eat. The Rainbow Peanut Ang Ku Kueh (S$3.50) is more of a marketing gimmick so this may be the only time I will be buying it as the filling is nothing fancy. I can get the red peanut version at S$2 lesser.

Forgotten to ask my sister's friend for the price of this Glutinous Rice (糯米饭). Came with whole peanuts and pieces of mushrooms. Didn't eat this as sister's friend brought it home.
