Song :

Courage Is ...
Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understood

Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath

Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway

We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings

Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
keep on living anyways

It's not how many times you've been knocked down
It's how many times you get back up

Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anyway

You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway

1 December 2008 (10am)
After finding another Avian vet which is slightly further down Sembawang Road, I placed Birdie in a box with a towel wrapped around her for warmth and headed to Yishun in a taxi.

As predicted, Birdie was in a really bad state. Almost two days without food and she was reduced to skin and bones. It didn't show until the vet parted her feathers. 42 grams was all she weighed and the vet told me to prepare for the worst. I was given an option of 'hospitalising' her, that is, warding her at the clinic in one of the insulated bird boxes or nursing her at home. I could not risk being away from her if something should happen to her in the crucial 1-2 days so I chose the latter.

She was fed her medication by the vet with a special tube before I took her home after collecting the prescription. Unfortunately, I did not even have a chance to give them to her.

1 December 2008 (12 noon)
I was getting ready to leave the house after taking my lunch when I heard some scratching sound from the box I had kept birdie in. I knew something was amiss when I saw her. I picked her up immediately and rushed to the living room. I wished someone was with me then but hubby would only be back on the 6th.

In the last brief moment of her life, I stroked her head and called her name over and over again. I took a last blurred picture of her and sat in front of my camera which was on video mode. She did something like a neck rotation, an action she had never attempted before, while I held on to her tightly. Something clear and sticky dripped from the sides of her beak while I scrambled for tissue.

While still in my hands, I felt her life slipping away with the slowing down of her heartbeat.

12.20pm was when she left us.

2 pm was when the tear ducts finally decided to take a break.

Several unfortunate incidents happened in the year 2008, which resulted in the lost of many innocent lives but I could not recall having been that heart-broken since the demise of my grandmother about 6 years ago.
